Chapter XVIII



[Chapter 5, Volume 5]

Section 495

Soon after Liu Kengman's weekly banquet, Su Yufei gave birth to a son at full term, and the mother and son were safe.

Wei Changying wanted to pack up her things and go over to congratulate her, but after congratulating Su Yufei, it was her turn to be congratulated - the Wei family sent someone to the imperial capital to discuss the marriage date with the Su family.

Su Nianchu's marriage to Wei Changfeng was given by holy decree, and Wei Changying was decided the next year after he left the cabinet. But for various reasons, the specific date of the crossing has never been decided. Originally, there was a rumor in the two families last year that it was going to be decided, but Mrs. Wei passed away, and Wei Changfeng, as his grandson, wanted to keep filial piety to his grandmother, so he dragged it down again.

Now that Mrs. Wei's filial piety period has passed, the Wei family doesn't want Wei Changfeng to get married too late and delay the heir. Even though it was the end of the year, I still sent someone to negotiate, hoping to give this matter as soon as possible.

Because Wei Zhenghong, the old man of Wei, is the father of Wei Changfeng; The second master, Wei Shengyi, has always been the emperor, and the relationship with his father and brother is not embarrassing; And Wei Shengnian has the identity of Fengzhou Thorn History, so this time it was Wei Shenghe, the fourth old man who came to discuss relatives and visit several Wei family girls who married in the imperial capital.

Knowing that the fourth uncle was here, and it was for the marriage of his younger brother, Wei Changying didn't dare to slack off, and as soon as he received the news, he took his eldest son to Weifu to visit.

Wei Shenghe is Wei Huanshu's youngest son, and he passed to the knee of his childless and daughterless uncle Wei Jiong in his infancy. Wei Jiong and his wife are not in good health, and the only heir of course has to serve the decoction in front of the bed, so it is inconvenient to leave. So even if Wei Changying didn't see him many times before he left the cabinet, he vaguely remembered that this fourth uncle was very kind.

Uncle and nephew met, and after the ceremony, they wanted to say goodbye.

Wei Shengyi was very impatient to perfunctory things at home because he didn't tear his face openly with his father and brother, and he was very impatient to perfunctory things at home, and he also knew that if Wei Huan and Mrs. Song asked Wei Shenghe to bring anything important, most of them would not say it in front of him, so they didn't sit for long and found an excuse to leave - as soon as he left, Wei Changyun and Wei Changsui also said goodbye and left.

There were only Min and Zhou left to accompany Wei Changying, which was really embarrassing.

Seeing this situation, Wei Changying had no choice but to say goodbye, and reminded when she left: "The eldest aunt and the second aunt both miss the fourth uncle. ”

It's hard to talk at my uncle's house, so I can only go to my aunt's house to talk about it in detail.

The next day, Wei Sheng He prepared a gift to the Lingxian Princess's Mansion to discuss the marriage date, because it was a holy decree to marry, although the Lingxian Princess was reluctant to marry her daughter far away, but watching the year pass, the in-laws did not mention the kiss for a long time, but they were already anxious. Now Wei Sheng has come to propose the marriage date, and he is not allowed. Meaningfully said a few words that Su Nianchu was reluctant to say, and then entered the main topic and discussed the official day.

Of course, the Wei family had already seen the date, and after discussing it with the concubine, Princess Lingxian decided to agree to all of them - this was the fifth day of the fourth month. Wei Sheng promised that Wei Changfeng would personally come to the imperial capital to pick up his relatives at that time. This news made Wei Changying worry and look forward to it, looking forward to seeing his brother, of course, worrying that if it is not peaceful today, Fengzhou has come all the way, marrying a wife and not marching in a different way, so he has to bring a lot of burdens.

However, Huang said: "What are you worried about, how can our lord and the old lady not think about it? The old lady treats you and the fifth prince as eyeballs, and whoever is wronged can't be wronged by the two of you! Since the fourth master promised to let the fifth prince greet him in person, there must be a foolproof strategy. ”

For her grandmother, of course, Wei Changying trusts her, so she is also relieved.

After finishing the business, Wei Shenghe can visit his relatives freely. According to his seniority, he first went to Situ Weiyu's mansion, and then Wei Shengxian. It was also inconvenient to talk in Situ's mansion, so Wei Changying inquired that he was going to Wei Shengxian's side this day, so he told Mrs. Su that Shen Shuguang was temporarily entrusted to the room to take care of him, and went to the door of his eldest aunt alone.

Wei Shengxian is much older than a few years ago, firstly, because of his age, and secondly, because the marriage of his eldest daughter Song Xiyue has been quite tortuous, and he has been wronged and worried after leaving the cabinet.

However, Song Xiyue now has the tendency to come to the bitter end, and the second daughter Song Ruxuan Xu's Wei Qing is her mother's family, and her conduct is also reliable, but Wei Shengxian's spirit is good now. She wiped her tears and recalled with Wei Shenghe Chenguang who grew up in the imperial capital decades ago, and greeted everyone in Fengzhou one by one, and finally asked Wei Shenghe about his trip: "Even if Changfeng is not young, it is time to get married." But now it's the wax moon, why do you want to run this trip? ”

In fact, Wei Changying wanted to ask as early as when Wei Sheng arrived in the imperial capital and she went to Wei Mansion to visit her uncle, because according to the rules at this time, there will be no talk of marriage since the beginning of the month, and it will be postponed until after the Lantern Festival of the following year. What's more, Wei Shenghe still deliberately rushed over from Fengzhou? It's just that at that time, Wei Shengyi made it clear that he wanted to drive away customers, and he didn't have time, so he listened to his aunt ask on his behalf, and he was busy pricking up his ears to listen.

Wei Sheng He saw that except for his sister, niece, and niece, all the subordinates were credible, and he didn't hide it, and sighed and said: "A month ago, the valve owner accidentally fell down the stone steps and injured his ankle. It hasn't been good until now. ”

Wei Shengxian and Wei Changying's faces changed when they heard this: "Why didn't anyone say anything?" Can it be serious now? ”

"Now the situation is ......" Wei Shenghe shook his head and said, "Originally, our Ruiyutang has been weak over the years, and thanks to the wonderful hand of Doctor Ji, the eldest brother has recovered, and this is a little better, but now that it is an eventful season, I am afraid that it will be affected by the DPRK and the central government, and the eldest brother is inconvenient to enter the office." Now the momentum of our branch is still supported by the name of the valve owner, if the news of the valve owner's omission spreads, the Wei family may be even more underestimated. So before leaving, the old lady and the valve owner repeatedly told that the news of the valve owner's illness must not be spread! ”

"Fortunately, the valve owner hasn't been to the yamen much in the past two years, and he mostly asked the third brother to bring the official documents back to Ruiyu Hall for approval. I don't know about it yet. Wei Shenghe frowned and said, "I came to the imperial capital this time, one is to set the wedding date for Changfeng and the Su family; The second is to ask the eighth lady of the Duanmu family. ”

As he spoke, he took out a stack of pulse cases from his sleeve, "This is written by Dr. Ji." ”

Wei Huan wanted to hide the news of his ankle injury, of course, he didn't dare to seek medical treatment in a big way. But this injury has not been good, and he had no choice but to find another reason to send Wei Shenghe to Beijing for medical treatment. Wei Changying took a deep breath, stretched out her hand to take it, looked at Wei Shengxian and said, "Auntie, fourth uncle, I'll do this." ”

"You are good friends with Miss Duanmu Ba, and she is your in-laws' daughter-in-law, so it is convenient to come and go and not easy to attract attention, which is more suitable than me and your second aunt." Wei Shengxian bowed slightly, and asked with a solemn expression, "I won't look at the pulse case, fourth brother, can you tell me what is going on with my father now?" ”

Wei Shenghe sighed: "Fortunately, the bones are fine, but I don't know why, the swelling has been weak since it retreated." As soon as it landed, it was painful, and even a person as tough as the owner couldn't hold it. ”

Wei Changying said on the side: "My niece wrote a letter to Xiliang a few days ago, and tomorrow my niece will ask Duanmu Xinmiao to come to the house to see these pulse cases, if she can't grasp it well, my niece will copy a copy and send it to Xiliang with her henchmen." ”

I can't help but wonder, "Grandfather has always been careful, the stone steps of Ruiyu Hall are all familiar, and my grandfather has someone around him to serve him when he goes in and out, why did he fall?" ”

"It happened to rain in Fengzhou that day, and the valve owner went up the stairs, but suddenly remembered that he had to turn back to the upper room, but when he turned around, he didn't make a sound, and he happened to collide with the little guy who was waiting for the valve owner, and the soles of his feet were slippery." Wei Sheng He said, "I fell right now, the little guy was young, and he didn't have enough strength, so he couldn't hold the valve owner." Although in the end, I gave the valve owner a cushion, and in the end I hurt my ankle. ”

It's a real event.

Wei Shengxian and Wei Changying were anxious, but they had nothing to do, and after discussing for a long time, there was only one way, that is, to ask Duanmu Xinmiao to see the pulse case as soon as possible, and if it didn't work, they would send someone to Xiliang to ask for help Ji to get sick. All in all, it's useless to rush.

When it was time to say goodbye, Wei Shenghe reminded them again: "The lord doesn't want outsiders to know about the injury, so I rushed to the imperial capital in Layue this time, and the tone revealed to the outside world, in addition to determining the marriage date for Changfeng, is for the Song family." ”

The two aunts and nephews said unexpectedly: "Song family? ”
