Chapter 212: Undercurrent (4)
Liuyu took the scissors and plucked the wick of the candle.
The light in the room was just right, and the lanterns outside were lit one after another.
On this day, it was darker than usual.
Brother Lin slept for a while, woke up just in time, and cried with a grin.
Chu Weilin smiled, handed over the child to Fang's mother to breastfeed, and said to Liuyu: "Is everything in the kitchen ready?" β
Liuyu nodded: "Man Niang just went to see it, it's all fine, and when the fifth master comes back, you can eat." β
Chu Weilin replied with a blushing face.
When she went out in the morning, Chang Yuyun also said that she would come back to the house earlier today, Chu Weilin was a little hungry, so she asked Manniang to prepare in advance, but Chang Yuyun never came back.
Brother Lin was full and satisfied.
He has grown up, unlike when he was born, his facial features are generally bold, his small face is tender, his nose follows Chu Weilin, and his eyes are very similar to Chang Yuyun.
Chu Weilin took Brother Lin'er's little hand, and said in her heart, she really didn't think wrong when she was pregnant with him, when this child grew up, he had a pair of peach blossom eyes, and he was a scourge like his father!
Thinking like this, Chu Weilin couldn't help but bend the corners of her lips.
Brother Lin grinned and seemed to be smiling, but unfortunately there was a lot of saliva at the corners of his mouth, but he didn't realize it, dancing with his hands, looking very happy.
Chu Weilin teased him, laughed out loud, and took a handkerchief to gently wipe his mouth.
Her precious son has a long way to go before he becomes a scourge.
Heavy responsibilities.
Just thinking about it, I suddenly remembered what Li De'an's family said, in fact, it was just a blink of an eye. And the child grew up.
These thoughts were hovering in her mind, and Chu Weilin didn't even care about the time. When the Western bell rang, I was shocked to realize that it was already the beginning of the year.
"Go ahead and ask. Did the lord bring people back? Chu Weilin commanded.
Chang Yuyun kept his word and said that he would come back earlier, and if something was delayed, he would definitely let the little guy come back to pass the word, and he would not let people wait all the time.
Shui Fu responded, and just walked outside the courtyard gate, she saw a lantern coming from a distance, she stopped and looked twice, it was Chang Yuyun.
Catch up. Shui Fufu greeted him: "Grandma is worried about the master, and she is asking the slave to go to the front to ask." β
Chang Yuyun smiled lightly, someone in the family was so worried about it, and his heart warmed up by three points, and he quickened his steps to go inside.
Hearing the footsteps, Chu Weilin raised her head, and when she saw that Chang Yuyun was coming back, she was slightly stunned, and after coming back to her senses, she asked the follow-up Shui Fu to bring some hot water.
Chang Yuyun cleans his face and washes his hands. Outside, the spring was cold, and the hands were immersed in the hot water, the cold dissipated, and the whole person was much more comfortable. When he returned to the east room, he saw that the pots and dishes had been placed on the table, and he smiled even more: "This is really heartwarming." β
"When it's cold. Or the pot is the best. It's March, and maybe it's going to get warmer one day. Take advantage of this time to eat again. Chu Weilin sat down at the table and poured some wine for Chang Yuyun.
Chang Yuyun sat down next to her. Raise your hand to get the flask in front of her: "What are you drinking?" β
"Plum wine, Man Niang just brewed it." Chu Weilin said that she didn't drink well, and she couldn't drink the wine that the brothers of the Chang family liked, so she could only use some fruit wine.
Chang Yuyun sniffed it, poured some and tasted it: "The taste is shallow." β
Chu Weilin is self-aware, so she will not argue with Chang Yuyun about wine.
Chang Yuyun held the wine glass, his finger bones were well-proportioned, the curves were beautiful, and with the movement of his wrist, the wine in the cup shook slightly, and the aroma of wine overflowed.
"When I came back, I met my eldest brother." Chang Yuyun said.
Chang Yuye?
Chu Weilin thought that he must be explaining why he came back late, although he didn't have to listen to an answer, but he took the initiative to mention it, making her feel more and more at ease, and responded to say that he was listening, and asked Chang Yuyun to continue.
"It should be said that it was the entourage around the eldest brother who found me, he said that the eldest brother went out of the house in the afternoon and ate alone in the restaurant, and the people below couldn't stop him, and in the end he got drunk and vomited a mess, they didn't dare to carry people back to the house like this, so they had to ask me for help." Chang Yuyun couldn't help but shake his head when he said this.
"Then did you send the uncle back first?" Chu Weilin asked.
"Yes, the eldest brother didn't wake up from drinking, I sent the person back to my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law saw me and didn't have a seizure." Thinking of the angry and helpless appearance of the Lu family at that time, Chang Yuyun couldn't help but sigh.
Chu Weilin frowned, in her impression, Chang Yuye's alcohol consumption was not good, and he would not drink much before, but in the past half a year, it seems that the more he drinks, the more addicted he becomes.
Last year, several of their brothers were eating and drinking in the study, and in the end, it was Lu who came to take the drunk Chang Yuye back, and I heard that there were several days of drunkenness during the Chinese New Year......
"Last time, you said that the uncle seemed to be worried about the affairs of the eldest uncle and the eldest uncle?" Chu Weilin remembered this statement, Chang Yuyun nodded, and she said, "Then it's no wonder today, the eldest aunt, three days later, the banquet will be held to lift the Mingmo in the eldest uncle's study, I heard that there is a concubine outside who wants to enter the mansion." β
Chang Yuyun raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't know what was going on in Chang Henghan's house, and when he heard Chu Weilin say this, he understood a little, and said in a low voice: "There weren't so many things before. β
At this time in the previous life, the Tu family did not return to Beijing, Chu Lunxin lost his daughter-in-law's only grandson, and had a conflict with the Da Zhao family, and fell ill in bed. At that time, the mother-in-law of the criminal family was not dead, and Chang Henghan and the Da Zhao family did not have a fight, even if he was in private affairs, he would not be admitted into the room one after another to embarrass the Da Zhao family.
It is really Hedong and Hexi, and it is not the same at all.
Isn't it the same with her side?
Chu Weilin took a sip of wine and whispered to Chang Yuyun: "Last time, in the Tallinn of Fayu Temple, Baolian talked to the old woman and said that she was crying, and I have already figured it out." β
Chang Yuyun put down the chopsticks in his hand, listened carefully to what Chu Weilin said, thought about it for a while, and asked, "What are you going to do about Baolian?" β
Chu Weilin was silent.
Although she taught the wicked to mislead, Baolian did what she shouldn't have done and said what she shouldn't have said. Now Pauline is awakened. According to the relationship between the two, Chu Weilin is not willing to settle any old accounts. But just ignore it, and it won't work.
Hung his shoulders. Chu Weilin was reluctant in the end: "I have followed me for two lifetimes, and there is no credit and hard work." If there is a suitable person, I want to marry Baolian earlier, Baolian is a capable person, I will post her more to marry, she can live a hot life. β
After all, it is Chu Weilin's maid, Chang Yuyun is not good at pointing fingers, and letting Baolian marry earlier is not a solution, he bowed his head and said, "I'll help you keep an eye on it." β
Chu Weilin thanked her.
Such things. There is no conclusion for a while, in the end, it is a marriage event, and she doesn't want to wronged Baolian, so she still has to bother to pick one.
It's March, but it's still cold.
The old ancestor caught a cold at night, and the next day he was a little uncomfortable. The ancestor didn't like to call a doctor to see a doctor, but Chang Yuyun persuaded him, and Cen Niangzi was summoned in Songling Hospital.
Cen Niangzi is bold and careful, and she is a clever person. Accompanying the ancestor to gossip for a while, it made the ancestor smile.
Afraid of being sick and giving Brother Lin'er, the ancestor didn't allow Chu Weilin to take Brother Lin to Songling Courtyard for a few days, and waited for his body to be neat. That's why people are urging to invite.
Chu Weilin hugged Brother Lin over, and when she passed outside the West Cross Courtyard, she saw Chun Shan holding Lu E's hand and walking inside.
Chun Shan's belly bulged high. It's almost a full month, if there are no accidents. That's half a month's work.
When Lu E turned her head, she met Chu Weilin's gaze, and she whispered to Chun Shan. Chun Shan turned around and bowed timidly.
Chu Weilin nodded at her and was about to leave, Chun Shan whispered a few words to Lu E, Lu E walked over quickly, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she suppressed her voice and said to Chu Weilin: "Grandma, does it hurt to give birth to a child?" Our girl is scared to death these days. β
Chu Weilin's eyes widened, and she turned her eyes to look at Chun Shan, who blushed and hung her head, cramped and uneasy.
Before giving birth, Chun Shan is the first time, she is an embarrassing identity, she lives in Songling Courtyard every day, when Chang Yuxiao came to ask the ancestor for peace, she couldn't even see his face, the people who could talk around her were Lu'e and Yancui, the two maids were girls' families, where they had experienced such things, even persuasion was not convincing.
Chu Weilin gave birth once, and in the last few days, she was accompanied by a few mothers and Wen Po to explain, and she was also scared in her heart, so she was especially able to understand Chunshan's mood, so she said: "It hurts, but I have survived ten months, and I can get through it in the end, tell sΓΉ you girls, don't think about anything else, just think about what this child looks like, how cute it is, and when the child lands, it won't hurt at all." β
When Lu E came to ask, she was ready to be perfunctory by Chu Weilin, and she didn't want her to answer so seriously, so she nodded hurriedly, and said gratefully: "Fifth grandmother, thank you on behalf of the slave girl, the slave and the maid will talk to the girl." β
Lu E walked back to Chun Shan, after hearing this, Chun Shan looked at Chu Weilin in surprise, and when she saw the other party treating her with a smile, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and thanked her again.
Only then did Chu Weilin take Brother Lin and go to the ancestral house.
Liuyu stayed outside, Fang's mother followed into the house, the old ancestor sat on the Luohan bed, smiled and hugged Brother Lin'er, teased for a while, and then looked up and asked the child about the situation in the past few days.
Fang's mother lowered her hand and answered them one by one.
Seeing that Fang's mother was talking decently and had a blessed face, the ancestor said, "The brother in the family is three years old, right?" β
Fang's mother didn't know why the ancestor asked, and said honestly: "Yes, my son is three and a half years old, and my daughter is a month older than Brother Lin. β
The old ancestor bowed his head and said, "Bring me to see next time." β
When Chu Weilin heard this, she quietly glanced at the old ancestor, and had some guesses in her heart, Fang's mother's son is about the same size as Chang Gongyi, is this to choose a partner for Brother Yi'er?
The Da Zhao clan came in from outside, and it was difficult to hide the tiredness between his eyebrows, and said: "Ancestor, I just received the letter, and the Chen family's team to welcome relatives will be able to enter Beijing in seven or eight days." β
The old ancestor counted the days, nodded and said, "Almost, we are scheduled to marry on March 16, right?" When they come, they will rest for a few days and then they will be able to set off. Is Yu Ying ready? β
"Yes, she didn't delay." Da Zhao said.
The old ancestor sighed and shook his head: "I don't know when I'll see you this time, I just hope that she is really sensible and won't toss, otherwise, how can I be worthy of my sister." β
Da Zhao did not respond.
In the past, she would definitely show an attitude for Chang Yuying to appease the heart of the old ancestor, but she couldn't say these words at this time.
She only has one daughter, but she can't stay by her side, seeing that the days are getting closer and closer, she feels more and more reluctant, she is worried that Chang Yuying will suffer if she goes to Lingxi, but the ancestor is concerned about whether she will not be able to live with her sister-in-law.
Da Zhao's heart was dripping blood, but he was helpless, so he turned his back and wiped his tears.
Seven days later, the Chen family's welcoming team in Lingxi entered the capital.
Mrs. Chen San came in person, giving Chang Yuying enough dignity, after she entered the house, she first talked to her ancestor about her family, gave Brother Lin a meeting gift, and went to see Chang Yuying with the Da Zhao family.
Chang Yuying's face was not happy or sad, the whole person was faint, Mrs. Chen San saw it in her eyes, but she was reluctant to leave her hometown and became silent, so she comforted Da Zhao and said: "I am also Lingxi who married far away, I understand Sister Ying'er's mood very well, my in-laws just rest assured, I will take Sister Ying to Lingxi, and I will help her in the Chen family in the future." β
When Da Zhao heard these words, he was grateful and thanked him again and again.
Mrs. Chen San stayed in the house.
Tu took Chang Yuwan and Chang Yunuan to Zhuangzi, she took special care of Chang Yunuan these days, and even Aunt Su was a little worried about it, but Tu was her mother-in-law, and Aunt Su couldn't stop her if she didn't feel at ease.
When it was just dark, Tu returned to the house and took the two girls to Songling Courtyard to say goodbye.
Mrs. Chen San was talking with her ancestors, looking up and down, she had never seen Chang Yuwan last time, and she only recognized it after arriving in Beijing this time, she only felt that this girl was a little arrogant, but she was young and could be called cute and cute, and Chang Yunuan, but a year younger, her appearance has grown a lot, she is more and more good-looking, and her temperament is also stable and well-behaved, she likes this.
"Our Lingxi is too far away, otherwise, I would have to be cheeky and ask my ancestors again." Mrs. Chen San joked.
The old ancestor laughed and said, "What? Which one do you have your eye on? β
Mrs. Chen's eyes turned around Chang Yunuan and Chang Yuwan, and said, "I've taken a fancy to them all, I can't wait to take them back together." β
The old ancestor stroked his palms and laughed, laughed, and deliberately said with a stiff face: "Where is it so easy, take your girl in exchange." β
This is a joke, and Mrs. Chen San naturally won't take it seriously.
Chang Yuwan pouted, and after leaving Songling Courtyard, he quietly said to Chang Yunuan: "The seventh brother is still many years away from marrying a daughter-in-law, and it must be that the sixth brother can't marry a daughter-in-law, so the ancestor wants to take us back in exchange for an unwitting one." β
Chang Yunuan's face turned white, and she didn't dare to answer this. (To be continued......)
