Chapter 264: Visiting Dai's Mansion
Daifu is located in the upper eastern corner of Ankobo in Kyoto. Turning out of the alley is Tonghua Avenue, and you can get out of Kyoto from Tonghua Gate in less than two pillars of incense by car, and if you ride a horse, it will be faster.
Minami Kaorubo, the weight of Kyoto, is a city within a city facing the Imperial Palace. If you want to get out of Kyoto, you have to pass through six squares such as Yongxing and Pingkang in the east, and four squares such as Yining and Zhengzheng in the west......
Shen Muqing lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at it, and sighed secretly.
Success is never a fluke!
The mother-in-law who followed the car had already reported to Dai's house, and when the carriage stopped, the Wei Mansion opened the east door, and the carriage slowed down and drove in.
At the second door, Wei's personal mother Wang had already bowed her hands.
After getting out of the car, Wang's mother stepped forward to ask for peace and accompanied Shen Muqing into the inner courtyard.
The courtyard is full of green trees and simple layout, with a unique atmosphere and calmness of a century-old family.
A maid's mother came over with a woman like a flower and a water.
Far away, the woman curtsied to Shen Muqing: "Sister Shen." The slave Wei family saluted his sister. ”
Shen Muqing bent his knees slightly, and returned the salute generously: "Sister Wei, although today is the first time we have met, we have heard it for a long time. My sister is very polite. ”
The two laughed and met on the verandah, Wei took Shen Muqing's hand, and his face was full of apologies: "Sister don't blame me for being late-it's really my sister's body is not angry!" ”
"I know you're not in good shape!" Shen Muqing said sincerely, "I have wanted to come and see it for a long time, but I am entangled in mundane things and can't drag it out." ”
As they spoke, the two looked at each other.
Wei is beautiful, but his face is pale, his eyes are sad, and he looks like a sick beauty.
Shen Muqing's appearance is outstanding, and his eyes are as bright as morning stars, and he looks radiant.
Wei nodded secretly, and welcomed Shen Muqing to the east of the hall - this place is generally used to entertain more intimate people, Shen Muqing and Wei went to the kang one left and one right, and couldn't help but secretly think in their hearts, Wei put on such a posture, I don't know what the intention is!
The maids served refreshments, and Wei instructed Wang's mother beside her: "Hold the uncle and kowtow to Mrs. Xiao." ”
Wang's mother left in response.
Shen Muqing said apologetically: "I wanted to come to the house on August 15 to be lively, but now the family is old and small." I had to prepare for the move again, but I couldn't be busy, so I had to visit my sister in advance and greet my sister's holiday! ”
"It's all my lack of consideration!" Wei Shi hurriedly said, "My sister is also the person who presides over the feed, where can I be free." I regretted it when I sent the letter, but fortunately my sister was not angry. As he spoke, he asked about Shen Muqing's two children.
"The girl is lively," Shen Muqing smiled when he mentioned his child, "The son is just the opposite, very quiet." ”
"Having children and daughters, Mrs. Xiao is so blessed." Wei's smile also had a melancholy color, "You can be a companion when you are small, and you can support each other when you are older." That's great! ”
Xiao Yueying and Xiao Ziyang are companions...... Why does Shen Muqing think this scene is a little weird! But in front of Wei's face, she naturally couldn't splash the face of her son and daughter.
"Just as Madame said." She smiled, "I brought the two children with me, if it weren't for the little obedient, how could I take care of the big one!" ”
As she was talking, Mother Wang came in with a child in her arms.
Shen Muqing was startled when he saw it.
The big red carved silk peony wears a flowered gown, jade-colored Hangzhou silk pants, and is young. The skin is white and the eyebrows are picturesque, which is nine points similar to Dai Gui, but more beautiful than Dai Gui. Dai Gui's beauty has a kind of arrogance that comes out of his bones, and Brother Bao's beauty is delicate and weak, which makes people feel pity in their hearts.
"This is Brother Dog Treasure." Wei pointed to the child, "Since I was a child, I have been weak, so I can't help but be a little pampered." ”
"It's beautiful!" Shen Muqing sincerely admired.
Mother Wang had already placed the child on the ground, and Brother Bao knelt down to greet Wei—a maid cleverly placed a mat under his knees.
"This is your aunt of the Xiao family!" Wei looked at his son with joy and pride.
Brother Bao saluted Shen Muqing again.
Shen Muqing saw that although he was young, he was not lacking in etiquette, and he couldn't help but have a headache when he thought of the demon king of the mixed world who was two months younger than Brother Bao at home.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Shen Muqing smiled, Ying Fan hurriedly stepped forward with Brother Bao, and Shen Muqing took out a purse from his sleeve to give Brother Bao a greeting gift - inside was a piece of fine mutton fat jade, carved with a monkey holding five peaches, with the meaning of longevity in it.
Brother Bao took the purse, thanked him softly, and then stood beside his mother with his hands down, which was heart-wrenching.
"This kid is really sensible." Shen Muqing praised.
Wei touched his son's head, and his eyes were full of love: "He is also a quiet character." He asked Brother Bao with a smile: "What books have you read today?" ”
Brother Bao said respectfully: "Back to my mother, the child was reading 'Snowflakes Fly Six Out, Premonition of a Good Year' in "Kindergarten Learning" just now. ”
Wei's gaze softened more and more when he looked at his son.
Shen Muqing was secretly shocked in his heart, he enlightened the child so early. Looking at Brother Bao's calmness as a little adult, she felt a little disappreciative in her heart - she felt that children's early education was necessary, but there was no need to teach children to lose their innocence, compared to reading and writing. It is more important to develop good living habits. But Wei asked the child about her homework in front of her, and it was not good for her not to say kind words. Then he laughed and said, "This kid is so smart! At a young age, I have already started to read "Kindergarten". Unlike our daughters, who only know how to play. ”
Wei smiled when he heard this, and asked Wang's mother to take Brother Bao down, but said: "I only hate that my body is not good, and I don't know if I can see Brother Bao marry a wife and have children." ”
When she said this, there were tears in her eyes, and there was a kind of sadness that touched her.
is also a mother, Shen Muqing can naturally understand her worries: "What kind of disease does my sister have?" What did the doctor say? ”
Wei's smile was a little bitter: "The doctor said that he was depressed in the liver, and he prescribed medicine to let him raise it slowly." ”
To put it bluntly, it's just a lot of thinking. I want to come to Wei's and know. But people are like this, it's one thing to know, and it's another thing to let go or not.
"My sister will walk around more if she is fine." Shen Muqing thought for a while and comforted her, "Brother Bao is still counting on you!" ”
Wei nodded, but her expression was a little disapproving, it could be seen that she didn't take Shen Muqing's words to heart, probably because many people had persuaded her like this.
The two gossiped a few more words, and a mother came in and said that the food and wine were ready.
Wei left Shen Muqing to eat.
Shen Muqing didn't push either. After having lunch at Dai's house, and chatting with Wei Shi for a few more words, he was about to get up and say goodbye: "We'll get together again after the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
"My sister said that my heart is up!" Wei nodded with a smile, and took Brother Bao to personally send Shen Muqing to the car.
Looking at the gate of Dai's Mansion that was gradually moving away, Shen Muqing couldn't help frowning.
Wei knew that it was not a good thing for the two families to move around too closely at this time, so they asked themselves to go, was it just to have someone to talk to?
When she returned home, she told Shen Zhen her thoughts, Shen Zhen pondered for a long time, and said, "You go and send someone to inquire about Dai Gui's concubine in Liaodong?" ”
Shen Muqing was slightly stunned, and immediately understood: "Does she want to marry our family...... The child is still so young...... No way? ”
Shen Zhen looked at her and smiled faintly: "You." It also requires multiple hearts. ”
"Didn't I think about that?" Although Shen Muqing muttered in a low voice, he agreed with Shen Zhen's statement in his heart. If Wei's health is good, it's nothing, and now that she is not in good health, she has to find a kao mountain for her son. However, choosing the Xiao family will be self-defeating. Speaking of which, although Xiao Sa is powerful, his foundation is still shallow, and he is not on the same level as the Dai family. Moreover, the Wei family is so sure that the Xiao family will interfere in the Dai family's housework.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was not a good thing.
"I'm not going to order a baby for my child...... Besides, both of us are so eye-catching, I don't want to be both prosperous and lose with the Dai family......"
"If you want to be prosperous with others, and lose everything, the Dai family may not agree." There was a bit of ridicule in Shen Zhen's tone, "The Dai family, that's the real family of conspiracy." I'm afraid that this idea is Wei's own initiative. Just pretend you don't know. ”
Shen Muqing thought about it again and felt that Shen Zhen's speculation was reasonable. But I still couldn't let go of this matter in my heart, so I hurriedly wrote a letter and sent it to Xiao Sa.
She wants Yueying to find someone she likes, and she doesn't want to arrange a marriage for Yueying.
The eldest lady found out but thought it was good: "...... The eldest son, who has a title, has a quiet personality, is also beautiful, and knows the roots, if he really puts it forward, he can also consider it. ”
"You didn't see the kid." Shen Muqing said, "More beautiful than a girl, any girl standing in front of him will be ashamed." Don't bother with that. ”
The eldest lady laughed, just when Yueying came to greet the eldest lady, the eldest lady pulled Yueying to look up and down: "Our family Yueying is also a beauty!" ”
"I'm not a beauty!" Yue Ying flashed her big eyes and retorted to the eldest lady, "I'm a woman!" ”
"Ouch!" The eldest lady smiled and hugged Yueying and kissed her, "Look at our Yueying, we can speak long sentences." ”
The room full of maids and women all followed the flattery, who cared about what Yueying said.
Shen Muqing also smiled, while preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival. On the other hand, he sent someone to inquire about Liaodong.
Dai Gui is now in a high position, and there was a reply soon about him - Dai Gui really accepted a concubine in Liaodong.
Shen Muqing felt a little sour in his heart when he heard this.
Like them, the town's generals, their wives and children are left in Kyoto, but how can there be no one around to serve, and they usually take concubines. Xiao Sa...... But sooner or later!
Thinking of this, she was very depressed and had no energy for several days.
At this time, Wei came to visit.
And that's not even after August 15th?
Shen Muqing was stunned and got up to greet him in person.
If the Wei family really wanted to marry the Xiao family, would they be too eager...... Or, what happened to the Dai family that she didn't know about?
(I've been a little messy lately, so I won't add more on the weekend, so I'll sort out my thoughts and prepare for the conclusion.) (__) Hee Hee ...... )
