Chapter 20: Uncle and Sister-in-law
He Shi took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Someone in the backyard just sent someone over to tell the guests in front of him that Miss Duanmu Ba is willing to treat everyone, please prepare your father and brother, after a while, is there a chance that Miss Duanmu Ba can return to 'spring'?" Over there, they all praised the filial piety and thoughtfulness of the 'female' relatives of those families. As a result, the elders led the topic to the fourth son, saying that the fourth prince did not bring the fourth young lady when he came to Xiliang, and he was inevitably lonely. β
As Yuan's wife, Wei Changying hates this kind of person the most - the two young couples are living well, and Shen Zanghui himself didn't say that he wanted to add people, what do you old things '' about?!
Hearing this, Wei Changying's face quickly sank, and said, "Which people proposed this?" Who are the people you want to give away to the fourth brother? What does the fourth brother himself mean? Is it that he doesn't want to be unable to cope with it, or does he want it but doesn't want to just say yes and can't cope with it? β
A series of questions were asked, and He also knew that she was annoyed, and sighed: "The fourth prince doesn't want it much." The voice was lower, "The fourth prince and the fourth young lady were originally in love, when we left for Xiliang before, the fourth young lady was still pregnant, and she was about to give birth in the New Year!" In addition, the people sent by the fourth young lady in front of the fourth prince also mentioned the fourth young lady from time to time...... The person who just passed the message to the servant was one of them, and the fourth prince didn't want anyone, but a few elders insisted, and ridiculed the fourth prince for being afraid of the fourth young lady, so that the fourth prince couldn't get off the stage! β
Shen Zanghui doesn't want it anymore, this group of old people who are not interesting still want to shoehorn!
Wei Changying sneered and said, "I really hope that the fourth brother and sister will also be here at this time, show these old things how powerful she is!" "Pei Meiniang is the one who just passed the 'door' and made Mrs. Su fall ill in anger, if she is really here, knowing that someone dares to stuff her husband with people, maybe she will be able to step on the reputation of the 'daughter' of the family, and rush directly to the front to ask those old things, why just ask her this wife to add people to the backyard of her supervisor?!
The He family is also annoyed by these people - although it is not for Shen Zangfeng to settle people this time, but Pei Meiniang is not there, then Shen Zanghui looks like a soft-eared person, maybe he was seduced and seduced by these pretty maids who were sent, and his heart was also biased - Shen Zangfeng is not here now! Wei Changying does not have her husband to support her in person, she is still young, and she doesn't see her uncle often, so if these people 'get' her uncle and sister-in-law to fight for power, it will be troublesome!
This will suggest: "Because the fourth prince couldn't answer, he temporarily excused himself to sober up in the side house under the pretext of drinking." Or did the maid send someone to tell the fourth son, but he couldn't support it, so he went back to the courtyard to rest first, and let the elders feel free? β
"That's it." Wei Changying coldly ordered, "Also, ask someone to write down the proposals to the fourth brother and the ones that take the initiative to give them away!" "If you don't add a 'becoming' person to Shen Zangfeng, you will turn to Shen Zanghui to plug people...... These old guys, isn't the beating of Shen Chufu's 'woman' enough before?!
sent He Shi to do this, and when he returned to the table, Wei Changying was already looking as usual. She smiled and apologized and thanked Huo Shi and the others, and talked casually about common things...... At the end of the night, the guests with foreign surnames went home to keep the New Year, but the Shen men had to gather in the ancestral hall to prepare for the sacrifice on the first day of the first lunar month.
The 'women' relatives also have to be busy - on the second day of the first lunar month, according to the custom, it is the day when the married 'daughter' returns to her parents' home, Wei Changying finally got an empty breath, and is asking the 'woman' to beat the 'legs', closing her eyes and thinking about where she should go first for the New Year's greetings from the third day of the new year, and she told Shen Zanghui to see her.
Wei Changyun remembered the events at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and brought all the servants to the main hall, uncles and sisters-in-law met, and the auspicious words and greetings during the New Year greetings passed, and sure enough, Shen Zanghui asked with a bitter smile: "Several uncles sent some Ji people, but I don't want to do this, and I hope that the third sister-in-law will help me and take them in?" β
"My sister-in-law has also heard about the things at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, since the fourth brother doesn't want it, why not tell me directly?" Wei Changying saw his helpless look, and was very depressed, as a 'woman', unless she was the opposite husband, even if she was a strange man who had nothing to do with herself, she always wanted to be more dedicated. Pei Meiniang is far away in the imperial capital, Shen Zanghui can refuse to send Meiji to the 'door', Wei Changying likes him like this, but seeing that Shen Zanghui has a headache for such a thing, as if he has encountered great trouble, Wei Changying feels that this little uncle's 'temperament' is too weak.
If this is changed to her husband Shen Zangfeng, I am afraid that those elders will not dare to mention it! Ahem, of course...... If Shen Zangfeng really came forward to preside over the banquet that night Chinese New Year's Eve, it was probably himself because the elders didn't dare to mention it......
But even if he didn't kill Shen Chufu's 'woman' by himself, with Shen Zangfeng's decisiveness and strength, he said that he didn't want to add people to his backyard, who would dare to persuade him? Not to mention laughing at him in front of him.
Wei Changying said in his heart that if he changed his brother Wei Changfeng, who was "gentle and elegant, and had a humble temperament" outside, he would definitely not be able to run on the elders in person like this.
failed to resign at the banquet, and it can be said that Shen Zanghui presided over such a banquet for the first time, and it is inevitable that there will be jerky places. And I am afraid that if I insist on resigning, I will ruin the interest of the banquet...... But now that everyone has sent it over, it's just a batch of Meiji, you are a cousin, as for worrying about such a group of people?
Shen Zanghui didn't hear the true meaning of his sister-in-law's words, and said annoyantly: "Don't hide it from the third sister-in-law, when I was at the banquet, I had already repeatedly shirked it." However, if the uncles insisted together, I was afraid that I would ruin everyone's interest. Later, he was reminded by his servant to leave the table early with alcohol, thinking that this matter would be over. But I didn't expect it...... When they left, they still left people behind! β
Wei Changying looked at this and didn't know whether to say that he was sincere or ...... Uh, for the sake of my husband, let's just say that he is honest - if you really think about it, it is always your uncle and sister-in-law, the little uncle is too stupid and stupid, and she doesn't have much face as a sister-in-law, right? She was silent for a short time, and said, "Then the fourth brother is coming to look for his sister-in-law now, just want his sister-in-law to settle these people for you?" β
"Exactly." Shen Zanghui unnaturally 'touched' his nose and said, "My yard can't accommodate so many people, let me say it...... I have enough people to serve there. β
Wei Changying squinted, looked at him suspiciously, and said, "These people sent by the uncles, the sister-in-law hasn't seen them yet, have you seen the fourth brother?" β
"I was busy yesterday, and I saw you again this morning." Shen Zanghui hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "A few people in the middle are quite pitiful, and I ask my sister-in-law to be kind." β
Wei Changying laughed when she heard this, and said kindly: "Are you the most handsome or the most moving?" β
"Huh?" Shen Zanghui didn't expect his sister-in-law to suddenly ask like this, and he was a little stunned.
Wei Changying turned her face in an instant, and said: "It is said that my sister-in-law has not passed the 'door' for a few years, and my father, mother, uncle, and brother and sister-in-law are still there, so I shouldn't say anything about you!" But now that my father, mother, uncle, and brothers and sisters-in-law are not in front of me, I will also ask you to teach you a few words! If you want to listen, listen! If you don't want to listen, forget it! β
Shen Zanghui hurriedly said: "The third sister-in-law should teach me a lesson, the third sister-in-law, please speak!" β
"At the Chinese New Year's Eve party, I heard several uncles say together that you dare not accept those beautiful girls, but you are afraid of guilt, you have no words to answer, yes or no?" Wei Changying is really angry, if she had changed her own brother Wei Changfeng, she would have picked up things and beaten Wei Changfeng all over the yard!
But Shen Zanghui is not only her husband's younger brother, but also her cousin! The mother-in-law was careful with him, and Wei Changying could only coax and persuade him with good words according to his temper, "Don't you know that this concubine asked the fourth brother and sister?" This is a serious matter according to the rules, the uncles united to squeeze a few words to you, and you are really so embarrassed that you can't get off the stage according to what they say? Can't you follow the rules and ask these elders? There are not many people in Xiliang in our sect, and the rules of the clan have been abolished to this point, and even their elders who are worthy of high morality have followed Hu?! β
Shen Zanghui's face turned red, and he said in a low voice: "I said so, but the uncles said that the beautiful lady is the 'daughter' of the family, and she is the person selected by the uncle's mother, and she is quasi-virtuous!" If I hadn't left in a hurry before coming to Xiliang, maybe the beautiful lady herself would have prepared someone for me to serve...... I...... I can't say that when I left, the beautiful lady told me not to add people here! β
"......" Huang, He and others bit their 'lips' to prevent them from holding back their laughter, so that Shen Zanghui couldn't get off the stage - even Wei Changying was stunned for a moment, and he almost couldn't stop laughing: Before Shen Zanghui helped his newlywed wife make Mrs. Su angry to death, Wei Changying also said that this little uncle was ungrateful! Now it seems that this little uncle is ...... This is not yet grown up and ignorant!
can be said that he is not sensible, but he remembers Pei Meiniang's words firmly.
As the same wife, Wei Changyun's heart couldn't help but soften, and he slowed down his tone and said, "If that's the case, then why don't you take advantage of the fact that after Chinese New Year's Eve, you want to worship the ancestors and say it?" The dawn of the sacrifice to the ancestors is approaching, and you are reluctant to talk about such a topic so as not to offend the ancestorsβor that the elders sent you to Xiliang, not only to send my sister-in-law to see your third brother, but also to let you go into battle and practice...... Isn't it easy to find a similar reason? β
Shen Zanghui suddenly realized these words, and said with shame on his face: "I'm stupid, not the third sister-in-law reminded me, I didn't think of these reasons." I...... I just thought that I couldn't say what the beautiful lady told me before coming to Xiliang! β
"......" Wei Changying stroked his forehead weakly, and said after a while, "In this way, I will teach you a method: no matter who comes to say such things to you in the future, you can say that before you came, your uncle told you not to indulge in 'obsession', 'female' and 'sexy', and you must have a good life to assist your third brother." If those people want to argue with you that taking one or two concubines is not a 'fan', 'female' or 'sexual', you don't care what kind of quibbles they have, just one sentence: let them not get in the way of your uncle's teachings! If you don't listen, you will be angry, accuse them of being unfaithful and unfilial, and dare to drag you into the water! Then come over and tell my sister-in-law that I'll clean up these things for you! β
Shen Zanghui said cautiously: "But my father didn't say anything like this, in case they found out......"
"I don't believe that before you left, my uncle didn't teach you 'in private'!" Wei Changying slapped the case impatiently and shouted, "What did my uncle teach you, I don't think you can remember every sentence yourselfβwhy did they hear it all?" β
