Past Life (4)
Although Mrs. Cao also hoped that her daughter would be able to climb the high branches, and gave Wei Mengying half a year, in fact, in this matter, the entire Wei family could not help her.
Because the gap between the lintels of the Wei family and the Song family is too big.
The maids of the Song family were impatient to accept the Wei family's silver - the reason why I said this was because after Mrs. Cao relented, Wei Mengying's third brother deliberately went to the Song Mansion for several days in order to help his sister, looking for an opportunity to set up a set of Song Yuan's itinerary and preferences.
Who knew that it was easy to wait for a maid who went out to do things, but she didn't even look at him, let alone take the benefit and reveal any news to him.
Wei San returned to the house in a gloomy manner, told his sister what had happened, and sighed: "The third brother is incompetent, but he can't help you anymore!" ”
"The third brother has this heart, and I am already very grateful." Wei Mengying smiled sweetly at him, but her heart was full of murderous intent - this is her mother's family! Not to mention using my daughter as a commodity, I'm still in a hurry to sell her! These people are shameless themselves, and it is natural for them to act on the faces of their sisters!!
At that time, she didn't know if other families were like this, all in all, she hated these so-called family members!
But they had to continue to be perfunctory.
Unable to find out the trace of Song Yuan, the Wei family imagined several possible encounters, but none of them went smoothly - Song Yuan, as the champion of the new department, was definitely selected into the Hanlin Academy.
But it was not so easy to intercept him on the way from the Song Mansion to the Hanlin Academy, and the Song family was an only son of him, so naturally he was not enough to care. Song Yuan usually goes on errands, in addition to the personal servants, he is also accompanied by four or five family guards.
The most important thing is that he goes in and out on horseback, coming and going in a hurry, and does not stop at all in between.
After a period of time to no avail, Wei San was anxious and said to Wei Mengying: "Or, don't you wait for him to pass by on the horse, don't you bumper into it?" ”
"What if he doesn't pay attention and tells the horse to really trample on me and hurt my appearance?" When Wei Mengying heard this, she couldn't wait to give him two ear scrapers, but she had to show embarrassment on her face, "Even if he is willing to admit it at that time, at most he will give us some silver?" ”
Wei San thinks about it, his family is not high, and if his sister can climb high branches, she expects it all on her beautiful appearance. As long as the appearance is there, even if Song Yuan can't get around, he can still switch to another family. Without her appearance, what future can Wei Mengying have?
But he was really anxious and reminded: "The time my mother gave you is not a few months, it's not that we don't feel sorry for you as brothers, but this is the promise you made in front of your mother, and it is not good for us to disobey our mother as sons." ”
"What did the third brother say?" Wei Mengying lowered her eyelashes to hide the killing intent in her eyes, and said obediently, "What is distressed or not, the delicious food and drink at home have been provided to me over the years, what fat powder hairpin ring clothing, everything is the best for me, I see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart, but I am afraid that I can't repay it!" Now that I have the opportunity to do something for my brothers, it's too late for me to be happy, is there still a grievance? ”
Wei San was smiling at her, and said with a pleasant face: "Strange Dao Niang said that you are sensible, you are really much smarter than your eldest sister." ”
Of course, he is not a fool, although it is said that there is no girl in this world who is greedy for wealth and wealth and wants to be a concubine for the powerful, but Wei Mengying pulled out Song Yuanlai and also refused the family affairs arranged by the family, obviously he has his own opinions in his heart.
So after thinking about it, he persuaded bitterly, "Actually, no matter whose door you enter in the future, aren't you the first one to enjoy wealth?" Even if you are willing to promote your mother's family, it is impossible to hand over all the things of your husband's family to us. In the final analysis, what your mother teaches you is also for your good. The family is just a little light by the way! ”
"And the ancients said that it is easy to grow old. You're growing well now, but you're going to be old in the future. At that time, whether you can still stand in your husband's house depends on us brothers. Even if you give birth to a son in the future, how can your nephew not need the support of us as uncles? Do you think that's the truth? ”
"The third brother didn't say it thoroughly!" If my future son will still count on you? How wasted is that! Wei Mengying sneered coldly in her heart, but her face nodded again and again, her expression was sincere, "So I don't think much about the family business that my mother said, I can only help the second brother like that, the eldest brother and the third brother, you and the fourth brother are here, but what good can it be?" Second, in the end, it is the second brother's top boss, in the future, if my old Zhuhuang is wronged, my brothers want to stand up for me, but I have to take care of the second brother's face, but this is embarrassing our own family, so how can it be good? ”
Wei San left very satisfied, he didn't see it, Wei Mengying stared at his back, his smile froze a little bit, and his eyes were so cold that he looked like he was looking at a dead man.
However, Wei Sanhao sent it away, and Mrs. Cao was not so perfunctory.
In less than half a year, when she was four months old, she called Wei Mengying to her and said lukewarmly: "Still not dead? ”
"Since my mother can delay this marriage until now, it can be seen that it is not impossible to push it off." Wei Mengying was not as disheartened or panicked as Old Madam Cao expected, but said very calmly, "In this case, I've been waiting for half a year, what do you do not delay for a while, give me some more time?" ”
Old Madam Cao frowned and said, "I have already dismissed the family business I told you before. However, you are fifteen years old this year, how precious is the youth of a girl's family? What should I do if I drag on for a year and a half and drag myself into an old girl?! ”
"The main reason I can't get in touch with Song Zhuangyuan is that I can't attract him!" Wei Mengying said in a deep voice, "This champion only won the list this year, and now he is busy getting acquainted with the envoy of the Hanlin Academy, and the person sent in front of the Song Mansion also said that he will not go out easily. When he went out by chance, it was not convenient to talk on the road, and he went to either the minister's house, or some places that we were not qualified to go to at all. ”
Speaking of this, she paused for a moment and continued, "So I asked my mother to give me another year!" ”
"It's been four months, and I haven't even seen a figure, so if I wait another year, will there be any turnaround?" Old Madam Cao sneered, "My son, I know that you have deep thoughts and great ambitions, and compared with your sister, I don't know how many qualifications you exceed!" So if you are not satisfied with the previous family affairs, I will also push it off according to you. But you also have to know that you are not so beautiful that no one can match, and even if you get to that point, there is no one in the world who is hard-hearted and doesn't care about appearance! So you have ambitions, and I support them, but your ambitions must also be weighed! Don't end up being self-defeating, and in the end you can only talk to someone who might as well push off this family, lamenting and regretting in vain! ”
"Thank you for your success!" When Wei Mengying heard this, she was silent for a short time, but she didn't take the disguised well-behaved look again, but raised her head, looked at Mrs. Cao with some indifference and some pride, and said, "But it's not for nothing that I ask my mother to give me another year: it's time for summer to come to an end, and don't mention it." However, in the spring of next year, the emperor and grandson will go to the suburbs, Song Zhuangyuan is the only son in the family, and he has just entered the office, whether it is to continue the family reputation, or to make friends with colleagues, he will definitely participate! ”
"In this city, it is not convenient to try to get to him, and it is too easy to make a trace, so that he can see it and be disgusted!"
"But at the beginning of spring, both the rich and the low, young and old, will go out to play together...... Bumping into him in that situation, even if you do something that attracts him, is understandable. ”
After all, the matter of going out has the meaning of allowing young men and women to take this opportunity to get acquainted.
At this time, euphemistically expressing his love for someone, generally speaking, even if the other party does not accept it, he will not make a humiliating move - the lintel of the Song family is so high, Song Yuanyu undertakes court training, even if he refuses, he will not speak ill of him, right?
Wei Mengying thought so apprehensively at that time.
After Mrs. Cao carefully considered her daughter's thoughts, she showed admiration and said, "Then I will give you this time!" ”
Wei Mengying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to say thank you, when she suddenly heard Old Madam Cao say again, "Then your sister can't be mentioned again!" ”
"Why?" Wei Mengying was taken aback and asked puzzled.
"I thought you were smart, why are you stupid?" Old Madam Cao glanced sideways, and said lightly with some dissatisfaction, "Zhuang Yuanlang's background is so good, do you think he will be a brother-in-law with an old man who is still only a fifth grade?" Even if your sisters are concubines, he may not be happy? What if you refuse to give you a name because of this?! ”
Old Madam Cao waved her hand, "So I will order the family not to mention Mengyue from now on!" Quan I gave birth to a daughter of yours - as for the relatives, I will not let them go to the Song family at that time, and if you are favored, you can take him back to the Wei family to see, I will also arrange it, so that no one will leak his mouth! ”
Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something, her face showed a touch of relaxation, and her tone was a lot softer, "Okay! These mothers will think about it for you, what about you, now go and dress up well, take care of your body and complexion, turn around, and strive to take a look at it, and you will be fascinated by that Song Zhuangyuan! ”
Wei Mengying could barely maintain the expression on her face, and reluctantly smiled: "Then I'll retire first!" ”
As soon as she went out, she clenched her fists!
She knew what the reason for the ease on Mrs. Cao's face at that moment - eight times out of ten. Nine is to think that Wei Mengyue is dead, it is also a good thing, if she does not die, how can it be so easy to erase the existence of such a daughter?
Although Mrs. Cao was thinking about Wei Mengying, Wei Mengying couldn't be grateful at all, she only felt disgusting that she couldn't say!
"I'm going to make it!" She took a deep breath and silently told herself, "They don't deserve to die with them!! ”
In such a situation, in the spring of the following year, under the peach blossom tree on the bank of the river, when Wei Mengying really "encountered" Song Yuan, she thought that she would be so nervous that she couldn't speak.
After all, this well-designed "encounter" is related to her whole life!
But I don't know why, when Wei Mengying raised her eyes and saw a surprised glance from the man in the distance, the worry and fear in her heart and the suppressed inferiority complex were gone!
"Thank you Childe today!" Half a day later, she stood in front of the door of Wei's mansion, and thanked Song Yuan who sent her back shyly and timidly, her cheeks were stained, her eyebrows flew and her eyes moved, so that Song Yuan had a clear moment of distraction, at that moment Wei Mengying was enlightened, and after thanking her, she walked back to the door without hesitation, and when she turned her back to Song Yuan, she gently bent her lips and showed a smug smile!
At that time, she thought that her future had taken a turn for the better, so she felt that she could not say that she would see the light of day.
After a long time, Wei Mengying woke up, and that joy was actually because she enjoyed the fun of this conquest very much.
Growing up in the hands of Mrs. Cao, she was instilled with the idea that she should sacrifice for her family and brothers since she was a child, Wei Mengying was instinctively unwilling and instinctively reluctant, and even disgusted with Mrs. Cao's teachings from the bottom of her heart.
But when she really walked the path that Mrs. Cao wanted her to take, and achieved glory and wealth by conquering men, she found that in fact, she was simply happy with this kind of practice!
That is the only son of the Jiangnan Song Dynasty, noble, talented, handsome, and wealthy...... When he crossed his horse around the imperial capital, the women of the city cheered for him.
At that time, Wei Mengying was submerged in the crowd, inconspicuous at all.
If she had told her that the man who was being buried by countless flowers would be her husband, it would have been considered whimsical.
Even herself, too, thinks so.
So when this man, who was once as far away as a cloud, showed love in front of her, and even did not hesitate to bow down for her smile, the satisfaction and pride in Wei Mengying's heart were beyond words.
Fortunately, she secretly thought that she didn't listen to her family's arrangement, otherwise wouldn't she ruin the bright future of her life?
Fortunately, she secretly thought that she insisted on and worked hard to meet Song Yuan, otherwise who would have thought that such a man who was more than enough for Princess Shang in every aspect would fall in love with her at first sight?
Fortunately, she secretly thought that she didn't believe the unfavorable words of her family, otherwise how would she know that she was actually better and more valuable than her family thought and imagined?
Originally, he decided to humbly prostrate and only ask for a concubine even if it was an outer room title, but at that moment, Wei Mengying felt that she could ask for more.
For example, Ming Media is marrying?
