Chapter 32: Contrast 5
"Miss Cousin?" Xia Lan said uncertainly: "I shouldn't have left yet." ”
Mrs. Tai likes Wen Hongying very much, even if she stays overnight, it is possible.
"Oh." Wei Man let out a long oh before turning around and walking back.
Xia Lan glanced at Wei Man inexplicably and followed behind.
A while.
Wei Man suddenly asked again, "Is the relationship between the second young master and Miss Yingbiao good?" ”
"Second Young Master and Miss Yingbiao?" Xia Lan thought for a while, and said, "I haven't heard of this slave, this, the second young master is rarely in the mansion......"
"That's right," Wei Man chuckled, "that chance encounter is very rare." ”
……
Ningguo Marquis Mansion.
Wen Hongying got out of the carriage and went straight into Wen Wei's courtyard.
"The eldest lady is back." Wen Wei's mother next to Wen Wei hurriedly greeted her with a smile, but saw Wen Hongying with a solemn face, and rushed to the direction of the upper room without turning a deaf ear, Wei's mother was first stunned by the momentum on Wen Hongying's face, and after reacting, she hurriedly chased after her and called urgently: "What's the matter?" Miss, hey, Miss, wait, you can't go in yet, Madame is meeting guests......"
Wen Hongying's foot had already stepped into the door, but her body suddenly stopped.
Mother Wei finally caught up, and looked at Wen Hongying's gaze, only to see Wen Wei and an official wife standing not far from the door, looking at them with a stunned face.
Wen Wei was about to send off a guest.
Mother Wei's back immediately broke out with fine sweat, and she hurriedly stepped forward and blamed herself: "It's all the slave's fault, it's the slave maid who forgot to tell the eldest lady that there are distinguished guests here, and the slave didn't ......notice it for a while."
"Yo, this is the eldest lady of your mansion." The official lady beside Wen Wei said in surprise, she came to Wen Hongying in a few steps, grabbed Wen Hongying's hand, and looked at Wen Hongying carefully from head to toe several times with her eyes shining.
Wen Hongying was swept by such a gaze and felt uncomfortable all over.
Wen Wei first rolled his eyes secretly, and then stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's my family's eldest girl." He glared at Wen Hongying without a trace, and said, "Ying'er, this is your Aunt Chen, hurry up and meet Aunt Chen." ”
Wen Hongying struggled uncomfortably a few times, but she didn't break free of Mrs. Chen's hand, so she had to follow Mrs. Chen's pull, she tried her best to adjust the expression on her face, and tried her best to show a well-behaved smile to greet Mrs. Chen.
"Oh, what a sign of the man." Mrs. Chen hurriedly picked up Wen Hongying, who was squatting and saluting, and couldn't stop praising her: "Mrs. Wen, I won't tell you, my family also has a daughter, but the girl in my family is so compared with your eldest lady, it is really a heaven and an underground ......."
Wen Wei pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a light smile: "Mrs. Chen is really too modest. ”
"It's called Ying'er, right?" Mrs. Chen asked Wen Hongying kindly, "How old are you this year?" ”
is one of Wen Hongying's most evasive questions, and she vaguely replied, "Yes." While trying to break free from Mrs. Chen's hand, but he couldn't do it, he was very angry in his heart, and he couldn't help but look at Wen Wei angrily.
Wen Wei sighed silently, and shook his head at Wen Hongying helplessly.
"Ying'er, when you were young, oh, by the way, it was probably when you were two years old, yes, on the day you were two years old, your aunt hugged you......" Mrs. Chen stood at the door like this, and said kind words to Wen Hongying, "...... Does Ying'er know where Shanxi is? My aunt told you that Shanxi is much more vast than the capital, and the scenery is also very good, if you go, you will definitely like it......"
Hearing this, Wen Hongying's heart suddenly cooled, she looked at Mrs. Chen blankly, and said, "I, why should I go to Shanxi?" ”
"Look at what you said," Mrs. Chen's face showed a strange smile, and she frowned and said, "This daughter's family will not stay at her mother's house for the rest of her life." ”
"No, ......" Wen Hongying suddenly screamed and violently took off Mrs. Chen's hand.
Mrs. Chen looked at Wen Hongying, who was out of control, with some horror.
"Sister Chen, Ying'er just came back from Zhenguo Houfu, and she has been playing with her cousins for a day, so she is too tired." Wen Wei hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege, she hid Wen Hongying behind her, smiled and grabbed Mrs. Chen's arm, and said, "Look at me, I said to send Sister Chen a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be delayed for so long, and it's not too early, so I really won't keep Sister Chen......"
"Oh, yes, it's time to go, then, Ying'er needs to rest more when she's tired." Mrs. Chen answered, suddenly as if she thought of something, Mrs. Chen let out a "hey", hurriedly broke away from Wen Wei's hand, took a few steps over and grabbed Wen Hongying's arm, and quickly put a green bracelet on Wen Hongying's wrist.
"I don't want to ......," Wen Hongying wanted to step back.
"Let's have fun, let's play......" Mrs. Chen grabbed Wen Hongying's wrist and said in a loud voice.
Wen Hongying still refused.
"Hey, this girl is really, this is a gift from your aunt, you must take it." Mrs. Chen pretended to be angry and said.
"Ying'er, take it, this is a piece of your Aunt Chen's heart." Wen Wei glanced at Wen Hongying, who had a bad face, and went to hold Mrs. Chen's arm, and said with a smile as she walked out: "Sister Chen, the festival you mentioned before, I suddenly think it's still pretty good, I want to ask who else is going?" ”
"You've finally figured it out!" Mrs. Chen was diverted from the topic, and finally let go of Wen Hongying, and was busy introducing Wen Wei warmly: "Let me tell you, there are a lot of people who go, and they are all ladies with faces......"
Wen Wei walked out of the door with Mrs. Chen in his arms, and turned back to Wen Hongying with a "wait" look.
……
Wen Hongying waited in the inner room for a long time before she heard Wen Wei's voice returning.
As soon as she entered the inner room, Wen Wei saw a few pieces of green broken jade scattered at her feet, she frowned slightly, looked at Wen Hongying unhappily, and said, "What's wrong with you, who made you so angry." ”
It's okay not to ask, but after asking, Wen Hongying's long-pent-up anger could no longer be suppressed, she "Teng", stood up, and shouted: "What is she here for!" What does that mean? ”
"Who? Are you Aunt Chen? Wen Wei glanced at Wen Hongying strangely, thought about it, and felt that Mrs. Chen had not said anything inappropriate to Wen Hongying, and she had been dealing with Mrs. Chen for a long time, she was really tired, so she said indifferently: "She is just a friend that my mother hasn't seen for many years, you don't have to take it to heart." ”
Mrs. Chen's father was an official in the capital back then, and when he was not married, he and Wen Wei's family had several encounters at the banquet in Beijing, but one was the daughter of a five-grade petty official, and the other was the high-ranking Miss Houfu, the two did not have a deep friendship when they saw each other, and after getting married, Mrs. Chen soon went to Shanxi with her husband, and more than ten years passed, and the two never met again.
Mrs. Chen suddenly came to visit today, and Wen Wei also thought about it for a long time before she connected Mrs. Chen with the shy woman back then, but after the two met, they didn't say a few words, and Wen Wei regretted seeing each other, she really didn't expect that Mrs. Chen would become such a "market" now.
After accompanying Mrs. Chen for a few hours, Wen Wei was already tired, and finally sent the person away, and he was really too lazy to talk about that person at present.
Wen Hongying saw that Wen Wei didn't want to talk more, but she thought of other possibilities in her heart, and in an instant, she looked at Wen Wei with gritted teeth, and said in a deep voice: "In this life, I won't go anywhere except the capital, even if I die, I will also die in the capital!" ”
For Wen Hongying, who has lived in the capital since she was a child, marrying outside the capital is a nightmare that she can't even imagine.
Wen Wei looked at Wen Hongying, who was upside down with willow eyebrows, in astonishment, and said inexplicably: "What are you talking nonsense?" ”
"Mother! I'll tell you too! Wen Hongying continued to grit her teeth and said: "It should be mine, no matter who can take it away!" ”
Wen Wei looked at Wen Hongying in astonishment.
"Don't be unbelieving!" Wen Hongying looked at Wen Wei fiercely and said, "If you dare to force me, I will die for you immediately......"
……
Entering November, there were two heavy snowfalls in succession, and the weather became colder and colder.
On this day, Mrs. Tai, who got up late, was having breakfast, and the sisters gathered in the warm pavilion of Xiyuan to drink tea.
"Do you all know that?" Wei Ya held a cup of hot tea and said to everyone: "Du Hongyu went a few days ago."
"Go?" Wei Xian's eyes widened and she said in disbelief: "Eldest sister, really? Is Du Hongyu really dead? How did she die? ”
"What my mother told me, can it still be fake?" Wei Ya glanced at Wei Xian arrogantly, and frowned again: "As for how she died...... she sighed, "At the beginning of May, there was news that she was seriously ill in the Ding Mansion, and it has been a few months since she was ill, and she has been ill for a long time, isn't this the best excuse?" ”
"Then ......" Wei Xian looked around, and saw that there were only five sisters and the maids they brought in the room, so she lowered her voice and asked, "She, is she really sick and dead?" ”
Wei Ya shook her head, with a sympathetic look on her face, and sighed: "Since the day it was rumored that she was sick, not to mention outsiders, even the people in the Du Mansion, no one has been able to see her, whether she is really sick or fake, I'm afraid, only the people in the Ding Mansion know clearly......"
"What? The eldest sister looks like she is very unbearable? Wei Feng said coldly: "Have you forgotten that she was the four sisters who killed us in the incense dye garden for nearly half an hour!" ”
