Chapter Twenty-Three: Wei Changxian
On the way to the Jingping Mansion, Song Zaishui had a 'yin' face, so that the carriage from Wei Changying to the little maid serving tea was all looking at the nose and nose, and was extremely well-behaved. It's just that she was raised as a future queen, and she knows the most. Although he put on his face all the way, when he arrived at the Jingping Mansion, as soon as the curtain was lifted, Song Zaishui instantly changed back to gentle and noble, with a warm smile at the corner of his mouth, and he almost wrote the words "virtuous and kind, Shuxian chaste and quiet, and beautiful model" on his body.
The two sisters were helped out of the carriage, and before they could tidy up their skirts, they heard someone on the stone steps not far away, who said in a voice like a yellow warbler: "Hey, third sister, you still brought guests?" Is this Miss Song? ”
Song Zai Shui followed the prestige, and saw three or five people standing under the corridor on the stairs, and the one who was surrounded by them was a young 'woman' wearing a moon-white lotus 'flower' wide sleeve 'handed' collar and a skirt tied to the water 'color' hidden 'flower' - someone in the house still wore such a plain dress on his birthday, it must be Wei Changxian himself, the main owner and widow of today.
Sure enough, Wei Changying gave a salute to the young 'woman' and said politely: "How is the second sister lately?" This is indeed the cousin of the Song family. ”
"I'm fine." Wei Changxian smiled faintly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes at all, revealing politeness and indifference, her eyes slipped on Song Zaishui, raised her sleeves slightly, half-covered her mouth, and said, "I said, looking at the appearance and demeanor, they are different from ordinary ladies, and they are full of atmosphere...... A few days ago, I heard that Miss Song is now living in the second uncle's mansion, but I am an unlucky person, and I didn't dare to give a post to a noble person like Miss Song easily. ”
said that he was going to apologize to Song Zaishui.
Song Zaishui hurriedly stopped: "What is Sister Wei talking about?" My sister didn't dislike me and came rashly, I was already very 'excited'. What's more, the honorable husband sacrificed his life for the country, and his heroic soul was fierce, although he only heard about it in the water, he was also deeply admired! My sister is a husband who keeps festivals, her heart is chaste and pure, and she is an example of a 'woman', how can she say the word 'unlucky'? ”
She said while carefully looking at this Miss Wei Er, although Song Zaishui was influenced by her cousin Wei Changying, she had no good impression of Wei Changxian, and she couldn't help but feel a little regretful: Wei Changxian was only a little more than ten at most, her face was like a full moon, her eyebrows were very long, her eyes were like autumn water, her lips were Qiong's nose, and her body was slightly plump, but it was not bloated, but it was a little round and 'jade'.
Because of her widowhood, she did not apply fat powder, and in the summer, under the porch, although the 'woman' around her carried an ice basin, a thin layer of sweat also oozed from the tip of her nose, and her skin became more and more delicate and fair. The jet-black hair is made into a simple bun, and only two flat hairpins without 'flower' patterns are inserted, and the whole person looks refreshing and generous, graceful and beautiful, not at all like the 'woman' in the boudoir that Song imagined before the water, and does not lose everyone's beauty at all...... Thinking that she was born noble, but she was so young and 'spring' Shaohua had to keep the festival for her deceased husband from now on, and she had survived for decades alone, Song Zaishui also felt that this Miss Wei Er was really ill-fated.
Listening to Song Zaishui's words, Wei Changxian's eyes suddenly appeared, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she choked up and said: "Miss Song is serious, I'm just a surviving person, how can I set an example?" Liu Jizhao sacrificed his life for the country, Wei Changxian was both sad and proud, so although today was her birthday, Song Zaishui directly mentioned this matter, but she didn't feel offended, but her tone was soft, and she followed, "If it's hot today, let's go see my mother first." ”
Wei Changying glanced at Song Zaishui, thinking to herself, I knew that the cousin who saw people and talked about people wanted to make the second sister happy, but it was just easy for her to say this - she was fortunate that Wei Changxian didn't say it, otherwise Song Zaishui would definitely be angry with her again......
Along the way, Wei Changxian was trying to calm down his emotions, and he never made a sound, and when he arrived at the 'wife' of the prince of Jingping, he packed up his emotions and introduced them to both sides.
Wei Changying is of course no stranger to this aunt, Song Zaishui is the first time to see this little Liu - the reason why she is called Xiao Liu behind her back is because she is a continuation, Jing Ping's son Wei Zhengya's Yuan distribution wife Da Liu died of illness ten years ago, Wei Zhengya guarded his wife for a year, for the Duchess Jingping has passed away, and the 'female' son Wei Changxian was only cardamom at that time and needed the 'female' and 'sexual' elders to upbring, and remarried the cousin of the Da Liu family.
Therefore, this little Liu is nominally the mother of Wei Changxian and others, but she is actually less than thirty years old, and she has been pampered and beautiful for many years, and she looks more like sisters with Wei Changxian.
Hearing that the future crown princess accompanied her cousin to the 'door' to congratulate Wei Changxian's birthday, Xiao Liu was of course in awe and thanked Song Zaishui very politely.
Song Zaishui has always been handy to deal with this kind of occasion, and everyone has a good impression of her in three or five sentences, and they all feel like sitting in the 'spring' wind, and everyone secretly thinks that in the end, he is a person who has been favored by the royal family since he was a child, and he is really born with a delicate heart, liver, and gall, but it is the first time he has met and the people are perfunctory, as if he has been with everyone for more than ten years.
With Song Zaishui supporting the scene, Wei Changying hid laziness and picked the grapes on the plate wholeheartedly to eat. While eating, Wei Changfeng and others, who had entered the mansion in the past, also came over to greet Xiao Liu.
Originally, they were all children of the Wei family, but this general gift just meant it, and it was just called in. However, now that Song is in the water, he is a young 'female' guest in the 'spring', born well, and he is a person who has long been set by the royal family, Xiao Liu couldn't help but hesitate, and after thinking about it, he said: "It's all their own flesh and bones, and they are all in Fengzhou, and they can't be common for thousands of miles, so why be so polite?" It's hot, and most of them come on horseback, so let's go and rest first, don't get caught in the heat. ”
said so, but everyone heard that they were afraid that Song Zaishui was here, and they didn't want the foreign man to bump into her.
In order to avoid Song Zaishui's embarrassment, Xiao Liu was about to immediately change the topic and talk about the side, but he didn't want Wei Changxian to suddenly say lightly: "You really don't have to be polite, I originally said that my life was not good, and it was a hot day, and when I landed, my mother was sinded enough, and it was even more difficult to endure it in the confinement!" After a few years of coming out of the cabinet, he came back...... What is there to celebrate on your birthday now? ”
"You kid." A touch of embarrassment flashed on Xiao Liu's face, and he understood that his words made Wei Changxian think that he was insinuating her birthday, but it was a hot day, and he was disgusted with trouble, so he hurriedly said, "The family is reunited to make you happy, you say such things, what do you think about Miss Song, your sister-in-law, and sister?" I thought you didn't want to see them! ”
Xiao Liu's even tried to round the field with a smile, and his henchman Qiao also said: "Fengzhou Wei's is the top famous 'door' in China, and the second miss is the only 'daughter' of the long branch of the sect, the pearl of the prince of the world - if the birthday of the second miss is not good, how many people in the world can be good?" ”
The stepmother and grandmother both said so, and Wei Changxian's expression was still faint: "Mother thinks too much, I just hurt myself a little, and I don't mean it." ”
When Xiao Liu heard this, he sighed: "Don't think about those sad things in good days." He said softly, "When the Liu family sends the child, you teach him well, the so-called kindness is not as great as raising grace, that is, the heir, you raise him when you are young, in fact, it is no different from your own child." ”
Song Zaishui's eyes moved, thinking that Wei Changxian was really easy to be distracted, with such a stepdaughter, Xiao Liu's usually had no headaches - this is the case with his stepmother, no wonder Wei Changying is annoyed by this cousin. Originally, Liu Jizhao sacrificed his life for the country, and Wei Changying was so good at martial arts, not to mention that he and Wei Changxian were cousins, and he shouldn't be so tired of his widow.
Because Xiao Liu directly mentioned the matter of the heir, Yu Li Wei Changying also asked a few questions. Wei Changxian said lightly: "I haven't seen it yet, kid...... I heard that the letter said that the birth was a bit like Ji Zhao. ”
"Looks like a second brother-in-law?" This heir hasn't been sent over yet, Wei Changxian loves a lot of hearts, this is really not easy to accept, Wei Changying quickly thought about the wording, and then said dryly, "That is also related to the second sister." ”
Xiao Liu saw that Wei Changxian suddenly turned his head away and didn't speak, so he had to reluctantly perfunctory for her, and said, "That child was full of moon half a month ago, and it will be there in two days." ”
Wei Changying suddenly remembered something and said, "Aunt Tang, is this child still in Donghu now?" ”
"Of course the children of the Liu family are in Donghu." Xiao Liu glanced at her and said with some surprise, "Why did Chang Ying ask that?" ”
"I ......" Wei Changying paused when he said this, then he glanced at Wei Changxian and whispered, "I just want to go out as hot today, and the child goes out to the 'door'......"
Xiao Liu hurriedly said: "That child is extremely strong, and there are people on the road who take care of him, it is always the blood of the Liu family, how could he be wronged?" ”
"It's me who talks too much." Wei Changying realized that he had overstepped himself, and said apologetically.
"Are you polite to your aunt?" Xiao Liu smiled dignifiedly, and scolded her - Song Zaishui also came in and said a few words of gossip, Wei Changxian suddenly said: "I think my sister-in-law is coming to my place soon, I'll take Miss Song and Chang Ying back first?" ”
This step-'daughter' has so many hearts, but she is also the 'daughter' of the Yuan match, and the widow' of the festival, she can't be treated well, Xiao Liu's party was 'made' by her in public so that she almost couldn't get off the stage, and now I wish she had left the front as soon as possible so as not to regenerate the branches, and immediately said: "I forgot Chenguang when I spoke...... You're all young, it's always boring with me, come over quickly. ”
smiled and told Song Zaishui, who visited for the first time, not to be restrained.
After a few words of greeting with Xiao Liu, he retired, and when he left the courtyard, Wei Changxian asked: "Aren't the fourth sister and the fifth sister together?" ”
Wei Changying thought to herself, sure enough, you won't leave this question, she pretended to sigh: "The third aunt was a little unwell this morning, and the fourth and fifth sisters were worried, so they all stayed at home to 'serve' the soup and 'medicine', and asked me to bring the congratulatory gift, second sister, don't be surprised." ”
Hearing this, Wei Changxian's face suddenly sank, her brows furrowed, and she snorted lightly, "Really? How coincidental is this? ”
"Yes, maybe it's because it's hot these days, and there are too many ice tanks at night?" The chief of the guard has a way of prescribing.
Song Zaishui said in a just right 'plug': "Second Miss don't worry, Mrs. Pei is just a little unwell, and I expect to be fine in a day or two." ”
Of course, what Wei Changxian cares about is not Pei's body, but Pei's and Wei Gaochan's and Wei Changyan's move is clearly deliberately avoiding herself, but now Song Zaishui is full of gentleness and virtuousness, and said before that Wei Changxian "can be a 'woman' example", Wei Changxian is not as shameless as Wei Changying after all, and can throw the high hat that he wears by default to his feet in this short moment - not to mention that Song Zaishui has a special identity, and it is the first time he has been on it. The door came to congratulate himself, but he couldn't ignore it like he did with his cousin or stepmother, so he had to recognize the name of being virtuous and considerate, and replied lukewarmly, "Is that so?" That's fine. ”
She is not stupid, she used to think that Song Zaishui was ironing words, and people were also eye-catching, and she felt that she was a person who could be 'friend', at this time, she would realize that this Miss Song family was brought by Wei Changying, and as soon as they met, she dug a pit for herself first, and her heart was angry, and her face was 'color' - she was unhappy, Wei Changying and Song Zaishui were not people who would please her, since the words were not speculative, they didn't talk about sex.
When I arrived in the courtyard where Wei Changxian lived, I went in, and a simple maid came up to tell her, saying that the second son had just eaten a bowl of lotus seed soup and vomited, so the eldest lady Su Shi, who had come to congratulate Wei Changxian and also arranged a family banquet for her, was worried about this second son, so she hurriedly went back to see it, and left this 'woman' to confess on her behalf.
"Rose's throw up? But does it matter? When Wei Changxian heard this, she was taken aback, and the face that she deliberately put on Wei Changying and Song Zaishui along the way disappeared, and she asked anxiously.
The second son Wei Shanzhui said by the 'female' is the second grandson of the great-grandson of the Jingping Mansion, the child is only three years old now, it is said that it is because the Su family was pregnant with him not long after the confinement of the child, and the vitality lost when he gave birth to his brother and the eldest son Wei Shanshi has not recovered, so this second son is congenitally a little deficient, and he has accumulated weakness since the womb like his cousin Wei Zhenghong.
Because of this, after Wei Shanzhui was born, he became a heart problem of the Su family, and he was far more concerned about this second son than the eldest son, and when he heard that he vomited food, he was so anxious that he immediately put down everything and rushed back - even if he would offend the sister-in-law today, he didn't care.
And although Wei Changxian is a loving person, her husband died before she had children after she got married, and now although she is about to pass as a step-heir, she has no blood relationship with her. On the contrary, it is the nephews surnamed Wei who are the blood of the family with her, and they have always been very concerned about the two sisters-in-law under Wei Changxu's knees, but at this moment, they don't have the heart to care about the Su family leaving their birthday for their son, but they take care of it.
