Chapter 112: The Steproom
Sister, what do you do? ”
Sheng Mingzhu still wanted to chase it, but was grabbed by Lingzhu and looked at it with a puzzled expression. Now that he couldn't see the boat anymore, Sheng Mingzhu was a little depressed, so he said, "I seem to have seen Sister Song just now, but I haven't seen it for a long time...... Maybe I'm dazzled? He looked in that direction a few more times.
Jin Zhi said, "Didn't Miss Song go back to the countryside to recuperate, I heard Mrs. Song say that she was very sick and should not be able to come back in a year or two." ”
Sheng Mingzhu knew that returning to his hometown to recuperate was just an excuse used by the Song family, and he couldn't come back for a year or two? I'm afraid that in a year or two, it may be the news that Song Yu is getting sicker and worse, and he has died. A scholarly family like the Song family always values reputation, how could something like Sister Song spread out.
Because of such a fork in the middle, it is no longer of any nature to go to see the performer. didn't want to spoil the interest of the other people, Sheng Mingzhu excused himself to be tired and found a restaurant to sit down, while Sheng Qian and Yun Niang took Lingzhu to a lively place to watch the fireworks show.
——
Sheng Mingzhu was sitting in the restaurant, and the spring wind was a little strong, which blew her fence up. The restaurant here is a relatively tall restaurant in the Imperial City of the Great Wei Dynasty, just to be able to see the scenery below, she looked carefully from here, and could also see the appearance of her father and mother and Lingzhu watching the fireworks in the crowd.
He put his hand on his cheek and looked at it carefully.
There was a stronger wind than just now, and Xiao Er on the counter went down to greet people again, but it was a clear and familiar female voice, "Find a quiet place-" As soon as the words fell, Sheng Mingzhu got up from his position and ran down the stairs again, just as the person was going up the attic.
She just took off the fence on her head, and a plain and indifferent face was revealed, and she was a little shocked when she saw her, and after a while, she smiled tactfully, "Mingzhu, long time no see." ”
Sheng Mingzhu looked at her, "Sister Song, you're back, why are you-"
"I got better, and I came back naturally." Song Yu smiled, a little inexplicably alienated, Sheng Mingzhu was feeling that something was wrong, but she had already put on the power fence, "Mingzhu, I have never been in good health, you know." I won't talk to you much today, and I'll visit the Shengguo Mansion another day. ”
After that, she coughed slightly, and the maid next to her helped her, and the two quickly left the restaurant.
It's just a stick of incense to come and go, Sheng Mingzhu blinked, and there was no shadow of the two, if it weren't for the fact that the door of the restaurant was still closed, Xiao Er stayed in place, she almost thought it was her own imagination. Soon returned to his original position, "Jin Zhi, did you see Sister Song just now?" ”
Jin Zhi nodded.
Sheng Mingzhu stared at the door for a while, "Why doesn't she talk to me for a while." ”
always felt that something was wrong, so Jin Zhi said on the side, "Miss Song is not in good health, you know, in the past, I used to take medicine every day in the capital." You see that the wind is so strong here, how can her body and bones withstand it, not to mention that Miss Song didn't say that she is going to visit our house another day. ”
Sheng Mingzhu thought about what he had seen on the lake just now, wouldn't the wind be stronger on the lake. I felt that there was something else going on, so I didn't think about it further. But he never thought that Song Yu went to visit the Shengguo Mansion, and the person who visited was Song Lao Taijun, along with the three rooms.
——
Cheng brought Song Yu to visit Sheng Guogong's house, although Sheng Qian went out of the house but did not separate the family, he should also go back to treat the male guests at this time.
Sheng Mingzhu hadn't seen Song Yu before this, and it was still at the banquet that the two had a chance to speak. But there were many elders at the banquet, but there was no chance to speak at all. Song Yu is also dressed differently than in the past, she usually likes some light colors, but today she wears a dark purple dress.
It's not that it's not good-looking, she looks beautiful and naturally dressed, but she doesn't look much like before. The expression is the same, in the past, Song Yu and Song Value were a little similar, there was always a smile on their faces, Song Value was a little frivolous and affectionate, and Song Yu was a tactful and tender smile, but since she sat in the seat, Sheng Mingzhu has never seen her smile.
Sheng Mingzhu always looked at her, but she hung her head, looking gentle. Next to him, Mrs. Song and Cheng said something halfway, but Sheng Mingzhu didn't listen carefully. It wasn't until later that Mrs. Song said, "This Yu'er and Mingzhu had a good relationship in the past, and I think there is some fate." ”
Hearing his name, Sheng Mingzhu came back to his senses slightly.
Cheng also had a smile on his face, "It's also Miss Sheng San, who is painful, Yu'er has a cold temperament, and she has never been so close to people before." ”
Song Yu hung her head, when she came back this time, she originally had a lot of things to say to her friends, but now she didn't dare. It was the last time there was a hurried meeting in the restaurant, and she was timid-she was afraid that Mingzhu would be angry with herself if she knew her mother's plan now.
"Yu'er is a good girl, I know. It's just that my three sons had a wife after all, and I wronged her. Song Yu sat next to Mrs. Song, she gently raised her hand, and Song Yu only hung her head. Cheng said on the side, "Master Sheng San is young and promising now, and he was promoted to Lord Shangshu early, which is Song Yu's blessing. ”
Sheng Mingzhu didn't react when he heard this at first, but after reacting, his first thought was not to believe it. But now Cheng and Song Yu are sitting in front of her - she looked at Song Yu again, she was still hanging her head, if Mrs. Song mentioned that someone else wanted to say goodbye to her father, Sheng Mingzhu might make trouble.
But she is Song Yu.
Sheng Mingzhu's head hurt a little, so she got up from her position, "Grandmother, it's a little stuffy in the house." I'll take a look outside. After saying that, he saluted Mrs. Song slightly, and the person quickly walked out. Old Taijun Song frowned slightly, but still ignored her, and continued to talk to Cheng with a smile. Sheng Mingzhu walked all the way to the back garden of Sheng Guogong's mansion, but he didn't want to leave again.
And he stood there and watched for a while.
She knows very well what kind of person Song Yu is, she even disdains to marry a family as a wife, and she has never crossed paths with her father, so how can she be willing to join the Sheng family as a continuation, not to mention that she knows her own reasons. Sheng Mingzhu couldn't figure out the slightest clue from it, but the more she wanted to figure it out, the more irritable she became.
After all, the evasion is only temporary, it is getting late, and the Cheng family wants to take Song Yu home.
——
At dusk, Ruan and Sheng Feifei stood at the door, and Sheng Mingzhu saw off Cheng and Song Yu behind them.
Song Yu is still handsome, but she hasn't said a second sentence to her since she entered the door. Song Lao Taijun was born in the Song family, although she has a distant relationship with the current Song family, but she also knows that a scholarly family like the Song family is much stronger than the Ruan family.
With a smile, Song walked away with Cheng and Song Yu.
Because he went out of the house, Sheng Mingzhu wanted to leave at night. After Sheng Qian returned home, he went to talk to the old man, and it was not until the night that the family got together.
Mrs. Song sat in the upper seat and asked some questions about life. The old prince called Sheng Mingzhu to his side, his ancestors and grandchildren have not seen him for more than two days, and he has always been in good feelings, and now he naturally has many words to say, "Grandfather didn't see you this time, His Majesty gave you the title of county lord, who is about to get married, but grandfather has not prepared a gift for you now." ”
"My grandfather has been sick for many days, and Mingzhu didn't take care of my grandfather", the grandfather and grandson leaned together, and their relationship was very good.
"It's grandfather......" Speaking of this, the old prince Sheng sighed, and the third son told him everything that happened in the Guogong Mansion a few days ago. He also knew all the things that the eldest daughter-in-law had done, how could such a vicious and greedy woman stay at home, but it was a pity that the old wife at home had to say that the Ruan family had no merit and suffering.
If the Ruan family is dealt with, what will be the identity of Brother Lin in the future, he is the only male in the line of the Shengguo Mansion.
Sheng Mingzhu saw his expression and knew what was going on in his heart, "Now in Shangshu Mansion, everything is fine with Mingzhu." As my grandfather thought, home and everything is prosperous. She knew that Mrs. Song had to protect the Ruan family and refused to leave, and she also knew that her grandfather had locked the Ruan family outside, so why bother to let her grandfather continue to be embarrassed.
Sheng Lao Guogong sighed slightly, he knew his granddaughter's temperament, dared to love and hate, and was a quick temper. If it weren't for the family's face, I am afraid that the consequences would be unpredictable.
A few days ago, the Ruan family was taken to the family temple, and Sheng Feifei guessed what was the matter. Even though she knew that they provoked Sheng Mingzhu first, there were some inherent things in her heart that still made her very dissatisfied with the old man's approach - after all, her mother was the mother of the Sheng Mansion, and Sheng Mingzhu was just a concubine and a daughter.
How about the royal crown of the county lord?
"Since the old man is reluctant, how about letting the three-room family move back?" Old Taijun Song proposed on the side, Sheng Qian only frowned slightly, and didn't say anything. He knew his father wouldn't agree.
Sure enough, Sheng Lao Guogong's originally smiling eyes paused, "I just moved out and moved back a few days ago - the Shangshu Mansion is close to the place where I do business, and it is also convenient for the third child to be on duty." It's not so troublesome, back and forth, left and right in the capital, it's all a family. ”
Old Taijun Song said again, "But there is no female master in that Shangshu Mansion after all." ”
"If there is no master mother at home, how to rectify the back house?"
Song Yu's girl is really good, Song Lao Taijun may have a compensatory psychology this time, she feels that this is a reward for her third son, "Today, the mother of the Song family, Cheng, brought her daughter to visit, I have met the daughter of the Song family many times before, she is knowledgeable, and she is beautiful, if you marry her to rectify the back house, someone will take care of it, and it will be convenient for you yourself." ”
She knew that these three sons loved his concubine, but a concubine was a concubine after all.
If you talk about interacting with people, if the Shangshu Mansion wants to hold a banquet, is it in the name of a concubine? When the time comes, if a lady with a head and a face comes back, if he only recruits a bunch of concubines, it will inevitably make people laugh.
"Miss Song is now in her teens, and I already have two daughters, so I'm afraid I will delay her."
Sheng Qian thought about it before remembering who Miss Song was in his mother's mouth. He remembered Sister Song, who used to be in her mouth-
"You are now in an official residence, no matter how good a good match, the Cheng family is the mother of the Song family, so why is it a delay?" Old Taijun Song frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Sheng Qian's prevarication.
