Chapter Seventy-Eight: There are guests and distinguished guests in the Yu Mansion
Xu Shuyuan had just finished speaking, and Zhang's mother came in and said that the person had arrived. The old lady had a straight face, and for a while asked Zhang's mother to quickly welcome people to the main hall first, and then instructed Xu Shuyuan to help her over to welcome the guests. Xu Shuyuan pursed her lips and smiled, "Grandmother, Princess Ling has to wait for a while, now I'm afraid that the cousin of the Chen family is here." ”
Zhang's mother hurriedly confessed, "Look at me, I was careless and didn't make it clear." Back to the old lady, it is the cousin who is here, and it is her own family. ”
Old Madam Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and did not scold Zhang's mother, but slapped her head and laughed: "Look at my memory, I still remember this yesterday, and I forgot it today." Quick, call Song'er in, I haven't seen you for many years, I'm afraid I won't recognize it, right? ”
After a few words of playful kung fu, Zhang's mother brought a little junsheng in. When Xiao Junsheng saw Xu Shuyuan next to the old lady, he was stupid, the pestle remained motionless in place, and a pair of eyes longed to grow on her body.
Despite being married, Xu Shuyuan was still blushing at him. Xiaojun grows handsome, and he looks a little dashing, which is a different feeling than Yu Wenyi.
"What are you doing there? Don't remember me as an old woman? ”
The old lady only cared about this and was happy in her heart, where could she see this. When he saw Chen Song for the last time, he was just a child, but he didn't expect him to look so good now.
Chen Song quickly took his gaze back, walked to Mrs. Yu and knelt down, kowtowing in a proper manner.
"Grandmother."
"Whoa! Well! ”
Mrs. Yu was really happy. Chen Song's father and Mrs. Yu's dead son were cousins who were so good that they had to wear a pair of crotch, and after she lost her son, Chen Song's father came to fulfill his filial piety to the old lady for two years. Since then, although they are just cousins, the old lady has taken special care of the Chen family, and even thought that Chen Song would come over to raise them personally.
It's just that the Chen family only has Chen Song's lone seedling, and the old lady can only give up.
Now goodbye Chen Song, the old lady has mixed feelings in her heart, and in a trance, she seems to have seen the past......
"Grandmother, what are you doing, Cousin Song rarely comes to see you, you are like this, but it makes Cousin Song embarrassed." Xu Shuyuan spoke slowly, and her soft voice gently tickled Chen Song's heart like a feather.
"Is this my cousin? Chen Song has seen her sister-in-law. ”
Although Xu Shuyuan is young and beautiful, her hair bun is already dressed as a woman. is also called the old lady "grandmother", then it can only be Yu Wenyi's newly married wife, the young lady of the Xu family. Chen Song already knew it in his heart, but he still deliberately asked again.
And Xu Shuyuan was quite reluctant when she heard the title of "sister-in-law", and in the blink of an eye, she was firmly grasped by Chen Song. Chen Song also understood in his heart that the relationship between Yu Wenyi and Xu Shuyuan was not as good as it was rumored outside.
The old lady was really happy in her heart, and pulled Chen Song to talk endlessly. After a while, he saw that Xu Shuyuan was still standing beside her, so he gave her a look. Xu Shuyuan understood and found an excuse to leave. And Chen Song also restrained a little, and didn't go to see Xu Shuyuan anymore, but followed the old lady Lala.
"When you come back to Beijing this time, you must accompany me, an old woman, and stay for a few days."
Chen Song was naturally willing. Although the Chen family is not bad, it is much worse than the Yu family in the capital. After seeing the minor tune of Jiangnan, he also wants to enjoy the prosperity in the imperial city. As soon as the old lady finished speaking, he responded crisply.
Old Madam Yu patted the back of his hand, a plan flashed quickly in her eyes, but her tone was serious. "Your father...... Your father can be regarded as my second son, but he is not in good health, and he has never planned to enter the ranks, it's a pity, it's a pity. Do you know that Wenyi has newly appointed Shangshu? Someone from our Yu family finally has an official position. Now that his official career is gradually stabilizing, I thought, if you want, then let your cousin Wenyi pull you. ”
Chen Song's spirits were lifted, and his heart was happy, but his face was sad again. "Cousin Wenyi has the ability, and he can live in the second grade at a young age. I'm so stupid, I'm not as good as Brother Wenyi, and if I want to join the ranks, it will only upset my grandmother. ”
Old Madam Yu pretended to be angry and slapped his hand, "No ambition!" ”
said this, but in fact, the old lady was already happy in her heart. Although she feels sorry for Chen Song, Yu Wenyi is her own grandson, and she is staring at the surname of the Yu family. No matter how this position of Shangshu came about, it is the ability to sit on it.
Chen Song saw the smugness in her eyes, and said even more deflated: "When I was at home, my father always asked me to learn more about my cousin, and now my cousin has become a big official, and my father talks to me every day." I thought I could hide from your grandmother, but I didn't expect your grandmother to say the same about me. ”
"If you talk nonsense, it will make me happy. What kind of virtue was Wenyi in the first place, did I not count it in my heart? Every day, I follow those fox friends and dog friends outside, and your sister-in-law quarrels with him a lot for this. ”
Chen Song came to the ground at once, and sure enough, Xu Shuyuan and Yu Wenyi were in a discord! In fact, no matter whether Yu Wenyi was before or after becoming an official, his bad things have spread all over the outside, how many women can stand such a man?
He flattered Mrs. Yu and hung his legs, and said with a smile: "Father said that my cousin seems to be messing around, but in fact, he has already established a good relationship with those sons and brothers. Regardless of whether you are in business or in business, the relationship between wealth and nobility must be managed well. No matter what people think about it now, there will be a time when it will be useful in the future anyway. ”
These words entered Mrs. Yu's heart, and she was reluctant to beat and scold Yu Wenyi, so she could only comfort herself in her heart. When I heard Chen Song say this at this time, I felt even more cordial, and I was a little more kind to him, so I stopped hiding it from him.
"I'll just say it directly, I have already repaired the book on your father's side, and I also asked your father what he meant, and I called you over this time, because I have something to hand over to you."
Chen Song patted his chest and said, "Grandmother, although I commanded, I will call you grandmother, then I will be your own grandson, as long as I can do it, I Chen Song will definitely do it for you!" ”
The old lady looked happy, "There will be a distinguished guest in the house in a while, I want you to use all the tricks to deceive the little girl and take her down for me!" ”
Chen Song was stunned for a moment, and then his face became a little unnatural, "What did grandmother say, when did I deceive the little girl." ”
"Don't think I don't know your Chen Song's reputation in Jiangnan, what garlic are you pretending to be with me here? Yu Wenyi is just a scholar, a second-grade official. What is a lifetime of glory and wealth, if you do this well, then you are a concubine, a relative of the emperor! ”
"What is it?"
Chen Song was stunned for a moment, afraid that he had heard it wrong.
The old lady patted his head, "Imperial relatives! ”
Chen Song was very smart, and he didn't talk about Tong Yuqing and Yu Chong, but asked about Xu Shuyuan intentionally or unintentionally. He spoke very skillfully, most of them started from Yu Wenyi, and talked about the scene when he chased Yu Wenyi and ran off his pants when he was a child, and then he was ashamed that he didn't come to Yu Wenyi's wedding. The old lady is such a shrewd person, but because she is caught in these past events, she can't see the subtlety at all.
In a short time, it was time for lunch. Xu Shuyuan was busy going in and out, and called someone to go to Shangshu Mansion to call Yu Wenyi back. Yu Wen was also happy when he saw Chen Song, and asked someone to put all the good wine at home on the table, and he must have a good time with him.
"Husband." Xu Shuyuan leaned over softly, "My cousin has promised my grandmother to stay here for a period of time to accompany her old man, and you will have more time to catch up with in the future." You still have public office in a while, so you will drink this wine tomorrow. ”
The call of "husband" was soft and soft, and Yu Wenyi was in a good mood when he heard it, even Chen Song next to him was numb when he heard it, and his eyes on Xu Shuyuan's body became more and more obscure.
After lunch, she didn't see the guests coming, and Mrs. Yu's eyelids jumped, she was afraid that Princess Ling would regret not coming, or that something would go wrong, so she hurriedly called Xu Shuyuan over. The two men here had already chatted, and Chen Song hurriedly asked a gossip when he saw the opportunity.
"Cousin, did Tong Yuqing, who entered the door on the same day as your wedding, really run away with someone?"
Speaking of this, Yu Wenyi's face suddenly changed drastically. Chen Song smiled, "This is also hearsay, my grandmother has always been strict about the rules, how can she tolerate this kind of thing." Blame me for being too talkative, blame me for being too talkative. ”
Yu Wenyi sighed and said, "If only she could be a little more obedient, or maybe she was ...... back then That's it, it's all over. You remember, her name must not be mentioned in front of Shuyuan and grandmother, and when they are angry, I don't have the ability to coax them anymore. ”
Chen Song also sighed, "I heard that the child in my sister-in-law's womb is because she doesn't have it, and my sister-in-law must be very sad...... Look at my mouth! ”
He raised his hand and slapped his mouth, and seeing Yu Wenyi's gloomy face, he hurriedly said, "Before I went out, my father also pulled me to teach me a lesson, so that I could learn more from my cousin." But I'm stupid enough to be as stupid as your cousin. If my father Xiushu comes to ask, cousin, you must help me say good things, just say that I have been studying hard with you recently, and I am very hard. ”
This was a coincidence, Yu Wenyi's face immediately turned cloudy and sunny, and he admonished him a few words in a decent manner, and then rushed back to deal with official business. As soon as Yu Wenyi left, Chen Song pulled the corners of his mouth and sneered. Seeing Mrs. Yu coming from a distance, she put away the sneer on her lips again, calmly replaced herself with an innocent look, and shouted affectionately: "Grandmother! ”
Old Madam Yu had a smile on her face, and her eyes flashed with shrewdness and excitement. The old lady took his hand and led him forward, "Princess Suzu has come, you go with me." You can make those little girls happy, you can make her happy. Coax her to be happy, and you'll have everything. ”
Chen Song snorted, "Got it, grandmother." ”
