Chapter 17: Revisiting the Old Place
This night, Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen were still the same as last night, while one was lying down on the bed, the other continued to read at the table.
So there was nothing to say all night.
Returning to Ning the next day, the Feng family had already made preparations.
At the beginning of the Chen Dynasty, from the moment the Wei family's sedan chair reappeared in the street where the Feng Mansion was located, the sound of firecrackers had not stopped.
The subordinates of the Feng family rushed out and carried the long return salute into the mansion.
When the bride returns to the door, the bride's brother should hang a wedding curtain in front of the door, and the aunt will send wedding money to the bride's brother when he returns to the door for the first time...... However, because this is Feng Yan's first marriage, everything is simple.
Feng Yuandao stood in the courtyard, looking at Wei Xingzhen and his daughter coming hand in hand from afar, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Look at these two people, Duo Deng is right." ”
Feng Xiaoqi also frequently echoed on the side.
Li Shi watched from a distance, she was still worried about Wei Xingzhen's late arrival when she welcomed her husband before, but at this time, when she saw Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen walking together, she was also a little dazed.
Wei Xingzhen was a head taller than Feng Yan, and both of them had gentle expressions and faint smiles.
This talented and beautiful woman...... It's really as Feng Yuandao said, it's pleasing to the eye when you look at it.
Seeing that his wife didn't react, Feng Yuandao looked sideways and asked again, "Isn't it?" ”
Li Shi coughed a few times, and a subtle sense of guilt suddenly surged in his heart, "Which Deng is right, Wei Xingzhen is still too white, and his body is weak at first glance." ”
Surrounded by servants, the family sat down for lunch amicably.
After the meal, Li left Feng Yan alone to go back to the house to talk, and the subordinates took Wei Xingzhen to Feng Yan's courtyard to rest.
Feng Yan stood at the door, watching Wei Xingzhen go away, and when the people were far away, Feng Xiaoqi rushed over with a smile, "How have you been doing these two days, Sister!" ”
"Xiao Qi, you should be steady," Li sat not far away and sighed, "Your sister is married, and it will be your turn next...... It's so frizzy all day long. ”
Feng Yan smiled and sat down next to her mother with her sister, and the people under them brought cups.
"This year's Biluochun is here again," Li looked at his daughter, "When you go back to the Wei family tomorrow, my mother will bring you a little." ”
"No need." Feng Yan smiled and shook her head, "The Wei family must also have good tea, my mother likes Biluochun, so keep it." ”
Li Shi took a sip of the cup and said softly, "I heard that you have spent the past two days in the Guogong Mansion?" ”
"Hmm."
"How does he treat you? Are you alright? ”
"Okay." Feng Yan nodded, "In terms of food and clothing, Lord Wei is careful and considerate and takes care of me very much." ”
"That's good......" Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief, "But this is just a marriage, and the days after that are still long, if Yan'er is wronged, don't endure it like a girl from another family." ”
Feng Yan laughed, "Hmm." ”
"Then you ......" Li just wanted to open his mouth to ask something else, looked at Feng Xiaoqi on the side, and pondered the words for a while, but he couldn't find a vague enough description.
Feng Xiaoqi looked at his mother and stopped talking, and suddenly laughed, "Mother wants to ask my sister if the set taught by the bride before marriage was used in the cave room, and how much." ”
Li Shi was ashamed and funny, "Feng Wan! ”
Feng Xiaoqi smiled and fell on Feng Yan, "Sister, tell me quickly, you see your mother, you are in a hurry." ”
Feng Yan also smiled, she lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and then replied lightly, "Those taught by Xi Niang...... However, it was not used. ”
Feng Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment.
"Brother-in-law...... looks like a serious person, I can't think of it...... The new tricks are still quite doha? ”
"Where do you want to go," Feng Yan glanced at her sister, and then at her mother Li, "In the past two days, Wei Xingzhen has slept on the floor in the house. ”
"What?" Li's eyebrows suddenly tightened, and his voice immediately sank, "Is it that he spared his life again, so he dragged on and didn't want to have sex with you?" ”
"It's not." Feng Yan shook her head, "It's me, I always feel ...... Something is wrong. ”
……
On the other end, Wei Xingzhen had already walked into Feng Yan's courtyard.
"Hello uncle! Uncle, go this way! ”
The servant woman who took care of this courtyard greeted her with a smile and introduced the courtyard to Wei Xingzhen diligently.
Every flower and grass here was served by her when Feng Yan was there. Now that she is married to Beppu, the Li family has arranged for three meticulous mothers to take care of them, and they wipe them inside and outside the house every day, so that "if Yan'er suddenly comes back one day in the future, she can live directly."
There is a small pond in Feng Yan's backyard, which is drawn from the flowing water that passes through the courtyard outside, and the koi carp in the pond are very well raised.
In a small flower garden near the pond, Yangshan peonies are planted, and the branches of the flowers are tied with red bells.
This is the flower bell that Feng Yan hung up with her own hands.
In the twilight of spring, this backyard is always purple and red, and whenever a bird flies down the flower branches, she gently pulls the red rope from a distance, and the bird hears the bell and flies away.
Wei Xingzhen gently pulled the red rope, and the golden bell made a pleasant sound again.
He stood there and listened for a while, then turned around and took out a few red paper packets from his sleeves, "Several of you have worked hard, and this yard is really well maintained." ”
The servants smiled and accepted the happy money - only the silver ticket would be wrapped in a paper package, which shows that the reward of the new aunt is at least fifty taels!
Several people said a lot of auspicious words repeatedly, and were about to turn around and go to a secluded place to see how much silver there was, when they heard Wei Xingzhen suddenly call from behind, "Wait." ”
The three of them stopped, "What else does my uncle command?" ”
Wei Xingzhen pointed with his hand, "Why is this pot of podocarpus placed here." ”
"Oh, it was my idea," a servant woman stepped forward and said with a smile, "I also heard from a gentleman yesterday that the podocarpus should be placed in the southeast corner to prosper people's fortunes, so-"
"Let's move back." Wei Xingzhen said softly, "Ah Yan doesn't like others to mess with her things. ”
The servant woman was stunned for a moment, and then nodded again and again, "Eh, my uncle is right." ”
Wei Xingzhen slowly walked into Feng Yan's two-story small apartment, and the servants behind him stood in place, watching him disappear behind the door.
"It's evil......," a servant woman looked at the other two, "how did he know that Luo Hansong wouldn't let it go?" ”
"As far as you owe a lot," the other said, "I said that you should not move, Xu is the eldest lady likes this pot of podocarpus very much, and specially mentioned it to my uncle, you hurry up while the eldest lady does not come back, don't scold!" ”
……
In the Li family's house, Feng Xiaoqi said bluntly, "Could it be that Sister also thinks that Lord Wei is a monster?" ”
"Also?" Feng Yan's hand holding the cup stopped slightly, "Who still thinks Wei Xingzhen is a monster?" ”
"Fifth brother told me," Feng Xiaoqi quickly replied, "He said that Yin Shiyun checked the records of the sun shadow in Luoyang in the past few years, and until a few days before the summer solstice this year, the sun shadow was no different from previous years, and it was only on the day of the summer solstice that it suddenly disappeared, so Lord Yin suspected-"
"Little Seven." Li glanced at his daughter, "You go outside to play for a while." ”
“…… Yes? Why? ”
"Go." "Your sister and I are going to talk about something about adults." ”
Feng Xiaoqi frowned and argued, "I'm not a child anymore. ”
"One day you will also step into the door of your husband's house with one foot, and then come to tell your mother that you are not a child."
Feng Xiaoqi still wanted to speak, but Feng Yan patted her hand lightly and laughed in a low voice, "Go, you are here, I am embarrassed to ask my mother if there are some things." ”
"Okay, okay." Feng Xiaoqi sighed, had to stand up, and reluctantly walked out.
When the footsteps were far away, Feng Yan turned to Li again, "Can you tell me first, what happened to the fire in Mingtang yesterday evening?" ”
