Chapter 213: Undercurrent (5)
Tu Shi listened to it in her ears, she knew about Chang Yuhui's pickled things, and just listening to it gave her goosebumps. Chang Yuhui wants to marry, but he can't marry any famous and noble ladies in Beijing, unless he chooses in the next class, it depends on whether his father and mother are so ruthless.
If you are still staring at famous girls, it is like Chang Yuwan said, you can only go to other places to pick out those you don't know.
This is also the reason why the Tu family now loves to take Chang Yunuan in and out, the ancestors can even sacrifice Chang Hengxi and Ye Yushu, and it is hard to guarantee that they will not come up with the idea of "changing" one. Although Chang Yunuan is a concubine, she is not close to the Tu family, but if something really happens......
Tu can't afford to lose this person, she is willing to bother to help Chang Yunuan find a home, and she will never let her go to Chang Yuhui's bargaining chips to find a daughter-in-law.
Moreover, Chang Yunuan, a girl, except for her softer temperament, Tu really can't find anything wrong.
Tu occasionally wonders, has she been following Chang Hengmiao all these years, and she feels that her position is secure, and her heart is also steady?
In addition, she has raised a son and a daughter, and those who become mothers are becoming softer and softer, and they can be more tolerant of other children.
Chang Yunuan is a concubine, and she can't get in the way of anything, she doesn't have to deliberately alienate and suppress, Chang Yunuan is already about to reach the age of Lu, so she will worry about it for another year or two, and if she marries someone properly, this responsibility will be fulfilled. The ancestor and Chang Hengmiao will not only not find fault with her, but also remember her merits and add more good reputation, one for themselves, and the other for Chang Yuyao and Chang Yuwan, why not.
Tu Shi took Chang Yuwan's hand. Persuaded: "Don't put these words on your lips, so that the ancestors will be sad when they hear it." ”
Chang Yuwan responded with her mouth, but she didn't believe it in her heart, anyway, she was not afraid, she was young, and there were two sisters in front of her, so it would not be her turn.
In Ji Jinyuan, the lights have just been lit.
Chu Weilin sat at the table, in the warm yellow light. Look carefully at the letter in your hand.
Three sheets of paper before and after. The handwriting is generous and beautiful, not like the juanli Xiaokai of the ordinary daughter's family, this word is written with a bit of atmosphere and casualness, Yang Xinuo is like his person.
The letter had just been delivered.
Chu Weilin heard that it was sent by Yang Xinuo. Somewhat taken aback.
The letter is written simply. talked about her experience after arriving in Xigui. On the auspicious day, she married the prince of Dewang, and after three months, she adapted a lot to life in the palace.
The customs and customs of Xigui are completely different from those of the capital. The women there are more open and free, and the rules in the palace are naturally heavier than those in the market, but there is a big difference compared to the noble marquis in the capital.
King De Shizi is both civil and military, compared to the day and day to the official document, he prefers to ride a horse to travel, Yang Xinuo can ride a horse, and has lived in the market for so many years, she can be patient to be a lady of the inner court, and can also travel the world boldly and heartily, so the prince will take her with him when he travels.
Yang Xinuo said that she had seen some things left by the concubine in her previous life, and she could see that it was a virtuous and decent woman, just like many ladies in Beijing, good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she could not ride a horse and raise a whip.
"I think I understand a little bit why the Holy One married me here, I'm more suitable than many clan women, and I also like the comfortable life here."
This is a sentence written by Yang Xinuo at the end of the letter, Chu Weilin stared at these lines, read back and forth a few times, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
She likes Yang Xinuo very much, and hopes that she can live well in her heart, this family affair was not originally Yang Xinuo's wish, and being a chess piece to marry Xigui even made relatives very worried, but now it seems that she is really doing well.
Husband and wife are together, and life is just right, which is much more important than any scenery, glory, and decency.
The letter was signed in the month of last year, because of the long distance and winter, so it arrived in Chu Weilin's hands so late.
Let Liuyu study the ink, Chu Weilin carefully read Yang Xinuo's letter again before writing a reply.
She wanted to talk about the affairs in Beijing, that she gave birth to a son, that Yang Xicheng saved Chu Weihu when he returned to Beijing, and that General Yang was about to return to the court......
Sprinkled with the pen, obviously have a belly, in the end there are actually only three or four pieces of paper, just hate the world, can not face to face to say a word, it is a pity.
Chu Weilin put down the pen, and Liuyu dried the letter paper one by one, and then put it in the envelope and sealed it.
"I'll send it out tomorrow, but this road is too far, and when I receive a reply from the county lord, I'm afraid it will take half a year." Liuyu said with a grin.
Chu Weilin smiled.
After all, this place is completely different from modern times, when she first came in her previous life, she was not used to all kinds of inconveniences, until so many years have passed, and she has adapted to this "slow pace".
"Half a year is half a year, and it's the same hope." Chu Weilin said.
Chang Yuyun happened to come in, and when he heard this half of the words, he couldn't help but smile and asked her, "What hope?" ”
Chu Weilin raised the envelope in her hand: "I received a letter from my sister of the Yang family today, and I will reply to her, this time and again is half a year, isn't it hope?" ”
Qinglian pinched the envelope with his fingertips, and under the light, his white and slender fingers were dyed jade, which made people want to hold it in the palm of their hands at a glance, and then look at the owner of the hand, smiling, and the whole person was vivid, making people unable to take their eyes off.
Chang Yuyun was a little stunned, until Chu Weilin called him again for some reason, then he came back to his senses, stepped forward to her side, and said, "What did the county lord say?" ”
Chu Weilin didn't stand up, leaned slightly sideways and looked up at Chang Yuyun: "Talk about the folk customs in Xigui." ”
Liuyu lowered her head, pursed her lips and smiled, and quietly retreated.
Chang Yuyun listened to Chu Weilin's enthusiastic speech, and said with a smile: "There are some books about Xigui in my study, if you are interested, you can go and find them, the food, clothing, housing and transportation there are different from ours here, and it is very interesting to read." ”
Chu Weilin was on the upswing and nodded in response. Said: "You have too many books there, I can't tell the difference, you can help me find them later." ”
Chang Yuyun responded, and his eyes fell on the double peach inkstone with eyebrow lines on the table, which was his gift to Chu Weilin.
When he picked a gift that year, he was very troubled, and he only felt that the head and face of those jewelry were not lined with Chu Weilin, and after hesitating again and again, he saw this inkstone in a shop. He saw it at a glance, just like when he was a child, he fell in love with Chu Weilin at a glance.
Chang Yuyun couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips. In a few days, it will be Chu Weilin's birthday. This time, give her an ink ingot......
After talking to Chu Weilin, Chang Yuyun turned around and went to the study, and found a few books about Xigui from the shelves. He returned to the room and handed it over to Chu Weilin.
Chu Weilin opened a book. I took a casual look at it. This book is interesting, in addition to the text and drawings, the level of the painter is good. A few strokes have already shown a picture of the life of the people of Xigui, which is straightforward and easy to understand.
Chang Yuyun saw that Chu Weilin was looking at it seriously, and a thought suddenly surged in her heart, she must have wanted to see it with her own eyes more than reading it from a book, not only Xigui, but also the old capital in Chu Weiwan's mouth, Lingxi in Mrs. Chen's words, and many other different places.
Moreover, not only Chu Weilin, he also wanted to see it, if he had the opportunity, he wanted to take his wife and children to walk around the country.
Chang Yuyun secretly thought, work hard in the Hanlin Academy for another year this year, and see if there is a chance to release it next year.
Early the next morning, Chu Weilin took Brother Lin to Songling Hospital.
After asking for peace, there were things in each house and courtyard, and everyone dispersed, and the ancestor was reluctant to Brother Lin, so Chu Weilin stayed.
When Mrs. Chen San came, it was also very interesting to hear her say what she had seen and heard along the way.
Mrs. Chen San was talking about the events when she passed through Yongzhou City, and she was clever at telling stories, and even her ancestors loved to listen to them.
Just as he was talking about Xingtou, there was suddenly some movement in the courtyard outside, and Mama Duan went out to take a look, and only came in with a solemn face after a while.
"Ancestor, Miss Chunshan has broken water." Mama Duan said.
The old ancestor was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "When a stable woman came to see it yesterday, didn't she say that there were still three or five days?" Why did the water suddenly break? Did you go to ask for a stable woman? ”
"Ancestor rest assured, I have already invited it, and a few experienced mothers in the yard have also gone to the West Cross Courtyard, fortunately, the things to be used are prepared in advance, and they are not in a hurry, and the slave maid has also sent people to report to the eldest wife, the third master and the third grandmother." Mama Duan said unhurriedly.
Mama Duan is doing things steadily, and the ancestor is most relieved, seeing that she has arranged everything, she nodded.
There were some sounds outside, Chu Weilin pricked up her ears and listened, only to feel that the voice was very familiar: "What? Zhang's mother is outside? ”
Mama Duan frowned and nodded slightly.
The old ancestor didn't know, and asked: "Which mother is it?" ”
"It's Miss Chunshan's mother, who works as an errand in the fourth room." Mama Duan said.
Since Chunshan lived in Songling Hospital, Zhang's mother has been here several times, although Duan's mother has not dealt with her, but she has heard a lot from other people, especially Ge's mother, who has a headache when she sees Zhang's mother.
It's just that you don't like it anymore, and you can't kick people out.
There was a mess in the west courtyard just now, and Mama Duan went over, so she naturally met Mama Zhang.
Lu'e, a little maid who had nothing to do, saw that Chunshan was broken, and was stupid in place for a while, not knowing what to do, Yancui was still sober, and directly sued, only saying that the girl was originally fine, but Zhang's mother came and drove the two of them out, and the two mothers and daughters closed the door and didn't know what they said, the girl suddenly became excited, the house crackled, and when Zhang's mother opened the door, they saw that the girl broke the water.
Mama Duan didn't have the heart to investigate what the two mothers and daughters were doing for a while, but just ordered them one by one according to the situation, until everything was settled, she was about to come back to pay homage to the ancestor, but she asked Mother Zhang to stop her, pointing fingers and saying a bunch of words.
Mama Duan was impatient with her, how many servants and maids dared to talk to her like this? It's the girls and grandmothers, when they saw her, Mama Duan greeted her with a smile, Mama Duan said a few words coldly, ignored Mother Zhang, turned around and left.
I thought that Mother Zhang would be more restrained, but I didn't know what to do outside, Mama Duan wouldn't hide it for her, so she naturally told her ancestors honestly.
The old ancestor sank his face and said, "Did she cause Chunshan to have a seizure?" ”
Mama Duan said: "The matter was urgent just now, and the slave maid didn't ask Mother Zhang what she said to Miss Chunshan, but there were only the two of them in the house at that time. ”
The old ancestor snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "Send someone to tell the Liu family, the people under her, do you want me to discipline her?" I quarreled with Yu Yun's daughter-in-law a while ago, and I was anxious to think of her being a mother, and I didn't care about her, but she kicked her nose more and more. ”
This time it was Chu Weilin's turn to be surprised, but after thinking about it, she understood.
Mother Zhang was noisy outside at that time, and the ancestor should have listened to Mother Ge afterwards, otherwise, with the temper of the ancestor, he knew that she was not resting well during pregnancy, and he would not let Mother Zhang do it.
Chunshan was about to give birth, and Chu Weilin wanted to go back, but the ancestor was still holding Brother Lin and wouldn't let go, so she had to sit patiently.
The Da Zhao family and the Xu family entered the door with their front and back feet, and when they came to the ancestor to show their faces, they asked the old ancestor to rush to the West Cross Courtyard.
Da Zhao's face couldn't see the love, but the Xu family was abnormal, a little timid, and begged to look at Chu Weilin: "The fifth brother and sister will go with me, right?" I've never seen anything like it. ”
The old ancestor glanced at the Xu family, and saw that she was really a little flustered, and he understood in his heart.
Although Xu is a woman, she has not experienced childbirth, and it is normal for her to be at a loss.
Thinking that in Chunshan's matter, the Xu family was wronged and made concessions, and the ancestor didn't want to embarrass her too much, so he nodded and said, "Daughter-in-law Yuyun, accompany your sister-in-law over." ”
The old ancestor ordered to come down, and Chu Weilin couldn't shirk it, so he got up and went together.
In the west cross courtyard, it was busy.
Da Zhao went straight into the delivery room, Xu stood in the courtyard holding Chu Weilin's hand tightly, Chu Weilin asked Lu E: "What's wrong?" ”
Lu E was a little gasping when she spoke, and said, "Wen Po just came, and a few mothers are helping inside." ”
Xu Shi took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, she was here, and she couldn't stand outside all the time, so she pulled Chu Weilin to the delivery room.
Chu Weilin glanced at Chun Shan who was lying on the bed, she looked like she had just been fished out of the water, her hair was stuck together, and the whole person was panicked, Chu Weilin thought, she probably didn't hear what Wen Po was saying to her clearly.
In this way, I'm afraid that I can't even concentrate my strength in one place.
Chu Weilin gently patted Xu's hand, motioned for her to let go first, and then walked to the side of the bed, bent down to look at Chun Shan, and said, "Do you remember what I said to you that day?" ”
Chun Shan's eyes blinked, and after a moment she nodded.
Chu Weilin pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Just remember, next to it, don't worry." ”
After finishing speaking, Chu Weilin stopped crowding in the delivery room, and retreated outside in a few steps.
Xu Shi followed and asked her in a low voice, "Fifth brother and sister, what did you say to her a few days ago?" ”
Chu Weilin was about to answer, when Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Liu coming in, and she glared fiercely at Zhang's mother who was standing aside.
Liu Shi said coldly: "What's the matter? (To be continued......)
