[Chapter 6, Volume 6]

Section 611 Chapter 12 Ten Sisters-in-law

Ji Chunmian heard that he was only helping for half a year, so he agreed after hesitation.

Wei Changying was very happy, and when he turned around, he sent someone to send a box of jewelry, in order to prevent Ji Chunmian from pushing back, he said that it was for Ji Yiren to keep for the cabinet to go out of the cabinet in the future. She is the stepmother of the Jiyi people, and it is appropriate to add makeup to the daughter.

Soon after inviting Ji Chunmian, Huang's letter arrived, and the beginning of the letter said a not-so-good news: due to the recent uprisings have proclaimed themselves kings and denounced the Great Wei, the imperial capital has been in a lot of depression. Therefore, the procurement of dowry by Huang and others did not go well.

That's not all, the key is that they don't dare to purchase it now - because the news has spread that Xu Zongwen, Wen Yanzi and others have decided to form an alliance to attack the imperial capital. The Qingzhou army is now desperately building the imperial capital and the fortifications of all the important towns in its hands, and is ready for battle.

The entire imperial capital, along with Gyeonggi, was in a tense atmosphere of preparation for war, and the little prosperity driven by the passage of merchants and merchants suddenly dissipated again.

The Shen family doesn't have enough manpower over there now, so if they buy a lot of things, they are looted in the end......

This is Shen Zangning's trouble.

As for looking for marriage candidates, Huang said that the imperial capital of Washington was burned down one after another, and many families moved back to their ancestral homes at that time. This time, the imperial capital is about to come, and there will be more people.

Even Song Zaijiang decided to take his family back to Jiangnan first.

Of course, there is no good person to be found in this case, but when Huang went to visit Song Zaishui with Wei Changying's handwritten letter, Song Zaishui heard that his cousin was worried about the family affairs of her husband's family, and after carefully asking who they were and what they wanted, she recommended a candidate to be Shen Shuming's wife.

"Song Manlu." Wei Changying knew that her cousin was steady, and since she opened her mouth, it was probably appropriate, so she suddenly perked up, and hurriedly sat up straight and looked down, "Great-grandfather Song Xinwu...... The seniority is just right. ”

Her grandmother Song Xinci and Song Zaishui's own grandfather, the current Duanhui Gong Song Xinping are cousins and brothers, although this Song Xinwu has not heard much, but when she hears the name, she knows that she is the same generation as her grandmother and maternal grandfather, and she is also a child of this sect.

Shen Shuming is the eldest grandson of the previous lord of the Shen family, although most of Ming Peitang will not be inherited by him in the future, and his wife's background cannot be too bad. If this Song Manlu is the daughter of a side branch, then she is not worthy.

Unless Shen Shuming wants to marry her like Song Yuwang......

But Song Yuwang also saw Wei Chanying first before he moved the idea of not marrying. Now that this Miss Song family is still far away in Jiangnan, she has never met Shen Shuming, so she can't talk about not marrying her, so as an elder, she naturally has to consider the backgrounds of both parties.

Song Manlu's background can only be barely qualified, and her great-grandfather is not famous, so he obviously has no achievements. Her grandfather, Song Zaishui, didn't even mention it - it was her father, Song Zaishui said that he had been a master for a few years, and he was quite respected. But later he resigned because of poor health, judging from the wording of Song in the water letter, it should be for another reason, and even felt that Wei Zuo was declining, and he was afraid that he would be involved too much with the clan and be swept into the water.

From this point of view, even if he is a little timid, he is also a shrewd person.

However, the biggest reason why Song Zaishui recommended her is that Song Manlu herself is both talented and beautiful, and she is very knowledgeable, gentle, virtuous, sensible and filial, Song Zaishui said in the letter that she has a very Shen Shujing demeanor. These words reminded Wei Changying of Song Zaishui himself, with the example of Song Zaisui, it is not surprising that the Song clan in the south of the Yangtze River taught another model of ladies.

If it was a girl like Song Zaishui, even if she had a little bit of essence, in the current situation of the beautiful and withering, Wei Changying would be very satisfied. Her requirements for Shen Shuming's wife are that the family is passable, at least she can't let people talk about the Shen family's mistreatment of Shen Shuming, and then she has a virtuous temperament, it is best to help persuade Shen Shuming to be more sensible after passing the door, and stop going against her uncle and aunt, and it will be.

So after reading Song Zaishui's description of Song Manlu written by Huang, he was very happy, and he thought about turning around and showing it to Shen Zangfeng.

But then there was no good news for the Huang family.

Shen Jishi's candidate for continuation and Shen Shujing's husband candidate have not been decided.

In fact, the most urgent is Shen Shujing...... She will be eighteen years old.

Wei Chang read the letter with joy and sorrow, handed it to Lian Mei to put it away, and then took a sip of the tea bowl, and then the next person came in to tell him that it was the tenth lady of the sect who asked to see him.

These ten ladies are ranked according to the main sect, and they are the granddaughter-in-law of Shen Xuan's uncle and the daughter of the Xinghe Qian family.

She has no grudge against Wei Changying, and the conflict between the two is caused by the Qian family's father-in-law coveting the position of lord in the final analysis. However, the Qian family and Su Yuyin have a personal feud that is not big or small, and that is when Wei Changying and they have not returned to Xiliang again.

All in all, when she heard that the Qian family was coming, Wei Changying knew that she must have come with bad intentions, so she ordered: "Please invite the tenth sister-in-law to the side hall to serve tea, and say that I will change my clothes and go over." ”

Having said that, she slowly drank the tea in her hand, and asked Lian Ju to come up and pinch her shoulder, it is estimated that Qian was already waiting impatiently, so she went into the inner room to change into plain clothes and go out.

Sure enough, Qian was left to dry for so long, and his heart was full of anger.

As soon as Wei Changying entered the door, she said coldly: "Brother and sister are really a big show!" I thought my brother and sister were joking when they told me to wait here, but they had already forgotten about me! ”

She was angry, but Wei Changying was not angry, and said with a smile: "How dare I dare to say this?" How can you forget the tenth sister-in-law! To tell you the truth, there was something to delay just now, otherwise I would have come here a long time ago, wouldn't I? ”

Of course, Qian didn't believe her words, and Wei Changying's words just gave her room to come today, so she leaned back at the moment, and said in a weird manner: "It turns out that my brother and sister are delayed because there are too many things?" This is not very good, it is my sister-in-law and I who are hanging here today, we are all my own family, I was wronged in your hands, just say a few words, it is not true. But if it's an urgent matter on the side, and you can't handle it, isn't that a big mistake? ”

Without waiting for Wei Changying to answer, she immediately said, "I heard that Su Yuyin offended her younger siblings two days ago, and her younger siblings don't want her to help." So now that there is a lack of someone, my brother and sister are delayed because of this, right? But brother and sister, you are too ridiculous, our concubine, and there is not only one Su Yuyin, she can't help, why do you need to find an outsider? Is it difficult for us, sisters-in-law, brothers and sisters, who are not as good as a daughter of the Shu clan to be in your eyes? If this spreads, it will be said that younger brothers and sisters, you look down on your own concubine, and instead promote an outsider; The most important thing is to say that the women of our Shen family are not angry, take care of some backyard chores, and have to invite a reckless commoner woman to help! Brother and sister, do you say this is the reason? ”

Wei Changying thought to herself, I knew that you were here for Ji Chunmian.

Since she invited Ji Chunmian, of course she also responded well. At this moment, he smiled lightly and invited Qian to drink tea to moisten his throat, took a sip himself, and said unhurriedly: "What is the reason why my tenth sister-in-law came here today, did she just tell me about Sister Ji?" ”

Qian snorted, "Let's talk about this first." The implication is that she doesn't necessarily have nothing to talk about.

"I want to say that the tenth sister-in-law must have heard rumors!" Wei Changying nodded and said.

Qian frowned and said, "Why didn't you invite the Ji family to come over and help you as a housekeeper?" ”

"I'm talking about the fact that my fifth brother and sister offended me, so I don't want her help." Wei Changying said unhappily, "The fifth brother and sister have to call me a cousin before they pass the door, since the door, we have always gotten along harmoniously, when did you blush?" When did she offend me, and I didn't want her help? I've never heard of this, it's funny! ”

"Then Su Shi and you are not once or twice, two days ago, the two of you talked behind closed doors, but after Su Shi returned to his yard, it was said that he cried a lot, and then sent someone to tell you that she was sick, not in good health, and could no longer take care of things. Now the ones she manages, part of them are given to Shen Shujing to practice, and part of them are given to Ji Chunmian to take care of......" Qian thought to himself, "It's not that she offended you, what is it that you have taken away power?" Now you have to pretend like this! ”

However, the Qian family was about to ridicule each other on this matter, but he remembered that he came here today, mainly for Ji Chunmian, and whether Wei Changying was pretending to attack the concubine was not the point.

So she said lightly, "Oh? Is that so? That's supposed to be the nonsense of the people below. I wronged my brother and sister. ”

The conversation changed again, "So these people should also be in charge!" This time you dare to arrange your younger siblings, don't you, in a few days, you don't dare to say anything, dare to make any rumors? ”

"So I asked Sister Ji to help." Wei Changying put down the tea bowl and said lightly, "The fifth brother and sister have not felt well for the past two days, so I will let her rest." The sixth brother and sister have always been relatively weak, and you know this as well as the tenth sister-in-law. Jing'er is a good child, but unfortunately she is young, and she is a young lady in our family, no more convenient than us who are already wives and are convenient to deal with. Aunt Huang, who was able to do it in front of me, is not here now, and I have to ask someone to help me after thinking about it. ”

"It's this reason, but the people in our family ......"

"My sisters-in-law all want to hurt me, I know that. But I also have to be considerate of my sisters-in-law, don't I? Wei Changying hooked the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes, and said, "Take you as the tenth sister-in-law, you have a pair of children under your knees, and there are cousins and aunts who need to be honored, and you have to be housekeepers when you are empty, why do you say that I am embarrassed to ask you to come over to help?" ”

Qian frowned and said, "I didn't say me!" But we have so many children......"

Her words were interrupted again: "It turns out that my sister-in-law blames me for not promoting the family and having children, but asking Sister Ji for help?" I know, someone must have come to my sister-in-law and arranged something, right? It's funny, do these people remember that they were slaves? It turns out that who does my lady do with whom, and it's their turn to intervene? The main family has to look at people's eyes, which family has such rules! ”

Qian felt that Wei Changying was messing around, and said, "Brother and sister, what you said is unreasonable!" First, no one came to me to arrange your fault, and second, what you did this time was that everyone said you were wrong. Where is this ancestral hall, where can anyone live in? It's been a few times before, and that Ji Yiren is the righteous daughter you accepted, and now this season of spring sleep, everyone knows that she was born recklessly...... She came out of Caojiabao, who doesn't know about this? Caojiabao, what kind of place is that? What kind of family is our family, you don't look for people inside and out, but you look for her, do you say this is like a word! ”
