Chapter 19 Anger compares the old things, and does not see the sorrow of the present.
As the New Year approaches, the housekeepers of all families are busy ushering in the send-offs, preparing food utensils and New Year's gifts for the New Year's banquet guests. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As a powerful family, the Wei Mansion has been even busier, and the Cui family has been recuperating for several months, and now that his body is recovering, he has resumed his work.
Wei Dongkang came to take a look at the young girl a few times, named him Wei Zhen, and comforted Cui's with a few words: "...... You are so young, I believe that you will give birth to a child in the future, although this child is a daughter, I am also happy to be a father......" and so on. Only then did Cui Shi regain his spirits, leave his daughter to the nurse and maidservant, and concentrate on family affairs.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the last group of guests who came to give New Year's gifts were sent off, and the Wei Mansion held a small banquet, and the family gathered together to celebrate the New Year.
Wei Yan refused Princess Yong's invitation, saying that she was ill, and after being grounded by Wei Dongkang, she hadn't come out to see everyone for a long time. Mrs. Wei was annoyed that she didn't know what to do, and she didn't look at the treasures sent by King Yong, and when she saw her coming with a plain face, she was even more displeased, and reprimanded: "You look like this, it's okay for the family to see it." If King Yong comes to visit, wouldn't it be rude to see you like this? ”
Wei Yan couldn't hear this the most, his father had said it many times, thinking that his father was really thinking about his appearance, so he obeyed. Who knows, all this is to make King Yong make up his mind to marry himself as a side concubine.
Wei Yan said: "Grandmother, father, wife, and Wei Jiang are not outsiders, and they feel sorry for their granddaughter, and they don't care about their granddaughter's little rudeness." Unexpectedly, it made the grandmother angry, and the granddaughter was very frightened, how could she still eat with peace of mind? The granddaughter retired. Wei Jiang, please toast my grandmother with a glass of water and wine for me, and wish my grandmother to be as healthy as pines and cypresses, and happy as the Yellow River. ”
With that, he fell to his knees and bowed.
Mrs. Wei was so blocked by her words that she couldn't refute, and her face was red and white for a while. In the past, when encountering such embarrassing moments, Cui Ningjuan said some well-behaved and playful words in the middle, but now Cui Ningjuan is difficult to gain a foothold in the Wei Mansion because of helping Mrs. Pei force her marriage, so she said goodbye to her aunt Cui early and went home.
Wei Jiang has a deep prejudice against Wei Yan, and he is happy to see her deflated, so he does not persuade her. Because Cui gave birth to a daughter, in front of the old lady, he was not as faceless as before, and he did not speak.
Wei Dongkang saw that the atmosphere was cold, and said softly: "Mother is angry. Yan Niang has always had this temper, and her son is too spoiled to her. I pity her for losing her mother at a young age, suffering a great change, and her temperament is cold, and she asks her mother to bear with her more, forgive her this time. The son will be able to discipline him well in the future. ”
He said to Wei Yan again: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the family is reunited, a good intention, you stay." ”
Wei Yan was silent, only sneered, and looked at the old lady's face.
Since she refused the princess's invitation last time, and disobeyed her father's entrustment, she couldn't get out of her illness, and refused to recommend a pillow to King Yong, Wei Dongkang thought that she had annoyed King Yong and Princess Yong, so that King Yong Yueyu never asked to meet. But that night, King Yong came in the snow, and he didn't care about Wei Yan's indifference and untamedness, but was very spoiled, and then he was rewarded frequently, which shows the truth. thought privately: "Maybe it is Yan Niang's posture that makes King Yong very interested." Since King Yong didn't care, why did he give up his face in vain and do that lowly thing? The more difficult it is for King Yong to get, the more he will definitely regard it as a treasure in the future...... so he stopped sacrificing his daughter's innocence.
Mrs. Wei was quite reluctant, and because it was inconvenient to embarrass her son in front of her daughter-in-law and children, she had to cough and motioned to the maid to pour tea to drink.
This scene can be regarded as revealed.
Wei Jiang was very puzzled. That day, Wei Yan annoyed her father, was confined in the courtyard, and cut off the monthly salary and food and clothing, leaving only two maids to serve, and her grandmother treated her coldly at that time, and never looked at her. I thought that Wei Yan's good days were over, but who knows, King Yong came once, and Wei Yan's life was more nourishing than before, in addition to the silk and jewelry that only the concubines and princesses in the palace could use, and there were rare fresh fruits and snacks in winter...... Whenever there is anything good in the house, it will be picked by Wei Yan first......
On the night of King Yong's visit, she saw with her own eyes that Wei Yan was dressed in old clothes and plain clothes, her face was not powdered, and even the scars on her cheeks were full of tears. On the other hand, he used his aunt's own money to buy those beautiful clothes and ornaments, and carefully dressed them up so gorgeously, and gentle and affectionate, but King Yong didn't care at all?
She only hated the injustice of fate, and God gave Wei Yan all the good and beautiful......
Wei Jiang thought wildly, and heard a timid voice outside: "...... Good sister, Lian'er knelt down for you, my aunt coughed up blood, tell the second lady to take a look......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ziyuan beside Cui's side, and sneered in a low voice: "The old lady and the old lady keep the New Year, what kind of thing is that, and dare to disturb the good time of the masters?" ”
When Wei Jiang heard this, he suddenly got up, and seeing that Mrs. Wei's face was not good, he had to say, "It seems to be ...... It's Lian'er by my aunt's side......"
Mrs. Wei and Wei Yan were angry, and they had nowhere to vent, so they turned their faces cold and said, "On a good day, one or two will be ruined." When did your aunt have something bad, but in this Chinese New Year's Eve, no one is sensible! ”
Wei Jiang has always been well-behaved, and she is extremely filial to her father, grandmother, and Cui's family, although everyone doesn't care much about her, she has never been mean. At this moment, he was implicated by Wei Yan, causing himself and his aunt to be blamed, and under embarrassment and resentment, he silently shed tears.
The old lady was even more unhappy: "What are you crying on a good day?" So frustrated! Your father, your mother, and your grandmother are not dead! A slave is also worthy of you to be the master of the young lady to cry for her? ”
Wei Jiang didn't dare to cry anymore, knelt down and kowtowed: "It's the granddaughter who is not good, grandmother don't get angry because of the granddaughter." ”
The old lady did not appreciate it and scolded: "This is how you cursed your grandmother? Your grandmother is really angry with you unfilial children, and you should be happy. While scolding, he swept towards Wei Yan with sharp eyes.
Wei Yan knew that the old lady's turbulent momentum was for herself, and seeing that Wei Jiang was innocently affected, she couldn't help it, so she had to get up and said softly: "Grandmother is angry, Wei Jiang is filial, and grandmother understands." Aunt Cai is not in good health, she is busy at home these days, she is afraid of causing trouble to her wife, and she does not dare to speak out if she is sick. I also ask my grandmother to read that Aunt Cai has always kept her duty, and she has been by her father's side for 16 years, so let Dr. Qin, who is used in the house, take a look! ”
Wei Yan didn't open his mouth, but this opening was not to ask for mercy, but to intercede for others, the old lady scolded angrily: "How did she stick to your father, you don't know when you are young, but I remember this old man clearly!" The Wei family has always been innocent, how could there ever be such a shameless scumbag? In the future, I will not have any dealings with this kind of goods, and I will not bring you any damage. ”
As he spoke, he remembered that Wei Jiang broke into the study and asked to see King Yong, and pointed at her and scolded: "Jiang Niang is raised by this kind of thing, so she will do the ugly thing of the man who has a private meeting!" I thought about your girl's family before, and I was thin-skinned, and after the incident, I didn't pursue anything, thinking that if you have a sense of self-esteem and shame, you will know that you are wrong and will not do it again. Who knew that he was a shameless person, and he didn't look in the mirror to see what he was like, and he dared to lean in front of the nobles and do that shameless thing! The Wei family's face has been stripped away by you, and you didn't make outsiders laugh! ”
Wei Jiang's thoughts about King Yong were exposed in front of everyone, how could she bear it?
Ashamed and hateful, she got up and slammed into the pillar.
