[Chapter 2, Volume 2]

Section 89

…… After Mrs. Song met Deng Zongqi in person, she called Song Zaishui and Wei Changying to her the next day, and said straight to the point: "This marriage must be stopped, although the reply from Jiangnan has not yet come, but I think it will mean this." Deng Guifei said that on Zhong Xiaoyi's birthday, there will be bad omen in the palace - because the Zhaohua Palace where Deng Guifei lives is located in the south of the palace, then the queen and Zhong Xiaoyi will arrange for their people to do tricks and feet here. ”

After a pause, Mrs. Song continued, "The reason why the Great Prince of this dynasty was abolished is because after being deposed, the Qian clan exposed the witchcraft and cursed the saint!" Therefore, if the saint thinks that the concubine is ominous, even if the concubine is not abolished, the future days of the Deng family will plummet! Especially when the only prince of the Deng family died, he may be said to be a Kezi...... Concubine Deng's plan is to use you to replace her and let you enter the city through the south gate that day. ”

Song Zaishui nodded and said, "As long as I don't marry the prince, I'm not afraid of these." ”

"Nope." Mrs. Song glanced at her, but shook her head and said, "Are you in a hurry now, haven't you found a loophole in this statement?" ”

Song Zaishui was stunned, and then listened to Mrs. Song, "Not to mention the plans of Queen Gu and Zhong Xiaoyi, how did Concubine Deng know about it early?" Let's just say that this time, in order to make Zhong Xiaoyi happy, the saint specially sent Yiwei south to Qingzhou to find Zhong Xiaoyi's relatives - which of those four people is Queen Gu or Zhong Xiaoyi's people? Although Gu Yiran is also surnamed Gu, he is a child of the Gu family in the imperial capital! The children of the Duanmu family and the Liu family are easily supported by the queen? ”

"If you are Empress Gu and see these four Yi Wei - knowing that you are in Fengzhou now, and Yi Wei will have to go from Fengzhou if he wants to go to Qingzhou, will you not want to have something to do when Deng Zongqi passes by Fengzhou?" Mrs. Song smiled coldly and reminded, "Don't forget that Empress Gu also knows that you don't want to marry into the royal family!" ”

Song Zaishui was shocked: "Then all this ...... It's in the queen's calculations? ”

"It's also in the concubine's calculations." Mrs. Song said earnestly, "Deng Zongqi is the concubine's nephew, and he is protected by the concubine!" The concubine's people are here, do you think the queen will be unprepared? And how could the concubine not expect this? ”

"Our family is far away from the imperial capital, and the news is not complete, and the back and forth is not timely, and there is no legal plan now. But what Chang Ying's grandmother said is right, the Song family is one of the six valves, and they must not make a repentance of the marriage contract! Seeing that Song Zaishui's face changed, Mrs. Song continued, "But if others don't like the Song family to produce the crown princess, and make a hindrance from it, so that you can't marry into the royal family, then you can't blame the Song family!" ”

Song Zaishui thought for a moment and said, "So the concubine? ”

"Not bad." Mrs. Song nodded and said, "Since you are willing to cooperate, Concubine Deng has many ways to make you unable to marry, then Deng Zongqi is a shrewd and ruthless person, he is ready to go back when he comes to Fengzhou this time, this kind of person is forced to be anxious, and he does not dare to make a move on you!" The reason why the concubine chose to let you replace her to deal with that bad omen is to give the Song family an explanation - this marriage was broken up by the Deng family, not that the Song family wants to regret the marriage, understand? ”

Wei Changying smiled and said, "In this way, the Deng family is also well-intentioned. Then he frowned and said, "But I still think that the concubine is a little taken for granted, why is she so sure about what will happen in two months?" Besides, my cousin goes to Beijing, the itinerary is both easy to calculate and can send people to star, if I am the queen, since I know that my cousin can enter Beijing on Zhong Xiaoyi's birthday, why is it good to open for a day? Speaking of which, things are bad luck on Xiaoyi's birthday...... Will Xiaoyi not be affected? ”

"Who told you that this bad omen must only be arranged by the queen and Zhong Xiaoyi?" Mrs. Song nodded at her in vain, and said lovingly, "What's more, we want to use the Deng family, but there is no need to listen to them in everything!" When Concubine Deng said this, she was willing to take the charge of breaking up the marriage contract between the water and the East Palace in order to preserve the dignity of the Song family! This so-called idea is nothing more than an attitude. ”

Wei Changying looked at Song Zaishui: "Then what should my cousin do?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to enter the royal family, or if your knee injury doesn't heal, it's not good to do it." Mrs. Song glanced at her niece and said, "Anyway, there are still some days, when Zaitian arrives, I will ask the situation in the imperial capital carefully and then make a decision." ”

Hearing the words "knee injury has not healed", Song Zaishui blushed in embarrassment and said, "I lied to my aunt before, I ......"

"I'm afraid it's still the idea that this little evil obstacle gave you?" Mrs. Song seemed to be smiling, looking at the appearance of her niece, who had always been smart and generous, who was at a loss after being broken, she felt a little funny but also a little embarrassed, because she remembered that she was in front of Mrs. Song the day before, thinking that she had concealed it well, and she didn't want Mrs. Song to point it out before she knew that everything was in the insight of the old lady...... In the end, the years are not without strengths, and the wisdom precipitated over the years cannot be replaced by talent.

Although Song Zaishui is highly gifted and well-educated, he is still a little younger, thinking of this, Mrs. Song was a little comforted by the blow she received in front of the old lady, and she didn't make fun of her, Zhengse said, "I have just gotten the news, the angel will arrive in three days, don't think nonsense, prepare well...... Everything, there are us elders! ”

Wei Changying nodded with a smile, Song Zaishui let out a long breath, but despite Mrs. Song's obstruction, he insisted on getting up and saluting her, and said with a smile: "I believe in my aunt!" ”

She looked up and smiled, her eyes were bright, and the kind of reliance and gratitude seemed to be in stark contrast to Wei Changying's naturalness at the same moment, which made Mrs. Song in a trance and secretly strengthened her determination, no matter what, she would help this pitiful niece - Mrs. Song did not think that her daughter was not grateful enough, but she was lamented by Wei's early death, such a good niece had no biological mother to care for and support, and she was so afraid of marrying into the East Palace but she couldn't bear to mention it to herself...... It's nothing more than a fear of rejection.

Now her aunt is only willing to reach out when the situation has changed, but she has already made her very grateful. Such a sensible niece made Mrs. Song feel more and more guilty.

"But I hope that Zaitian can bring some good news, so that the two children can have a good home." Mrs. Song sent the two away, and said to Mama Shi melancholy.

The three-day period was fast approaching.

On this day, Ruiyu Hall opened the middle door to welcome the holy decree, Wei Huan led his children and grandchildren in front, and the female dependents in the back. was blocked by the man in front, and the female dependents were far away from the messenger who read the decree, and they needed to kneel on the ground when receiving the decree, so after receiving the holy decree praising Wei Huan and Wei Shengnian, they did not see the description of the angel clearly. Even Wei Changying's eyesight was only taking advantage of the short time he turned around, tiptoeing to see a piece of crimson purple.

At this time, Wei Huan had already led his children and grandchildren to surround the angels to greet him, and the ladies were all going to follow Mrs. Song back to the backyard.

Wei Changying was dressed in makeup that had been pondered by Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song for several days and tried one by one, and sat in the frost court and waited for more than an hour, almost thinking that Shen Zhou and his grandfather were chatting very well, and he didn't plan to see himself today, so he saw Shuangli come to invite her: "The lord and the old lady asked the eldest lady to go to the hall to meet the elders." ”

Although she said that she had been prepared for a long time, and now she is not seeing her in-laws, but when the matter came, Wei Changying was still a little nervous, urging He Shi to take care of her appearance again, in fact, He Shi also took care of her in her heart, but at this moment, she had to be calm, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is beautiful, and today's dress is planned by the old lady and the lady, are you still afraid that the Shen family will be picky?" ”

Shuangli also said: "The maid came in, and I almost looked at the eldest lady in a daze!" ”

…… In fact, Wei Changying's outfit today is not flamboyant, after all, this time she is to meet Shen Zhou, and she is not to meet Shen Zangfeng. Elders, although there are also those who like the younger generations to dress up beautifully, but the first time they met, Wei Changying was going to the Shen family to be a daughter-in-law, and everything was dignified and respectful.

Therefore, the old lady Song chose a water-colored dark embroidered folded branch mandala pattern collared middle shirt for Wei Changying, covered with a white embroidered white sleeve collar undergarment, an ivory-colored fairy skirt underneath, a purple waist with a purple Sihe Ruyi cloud pattern woven gold belt, and a bean green flower silk on her arm. At this time, the summer has just passed, the climate is cooler, but the autumn is not obvious, the flowers and trees in the Ruiyu Hall are still lush, and the leaves are bright and thick, which just sets off this elegant and fresh, making Wei Changying look particularly dignified and pleasant.

But considering that Wei Changying is young, and her dress is light, she can't show her momentum. So Mrs. Song proposed to replace the jade with colorful jade and jade butterflies, and the silk silk with jade pendant was also replaced with a brightly colored pomegranate red blood-saving coral pearl palace silk.

As for the jewelry, the pair of blood jade hairpins given by Mrs. Su must be worn - Mrs. Song chose a dress with a less strong color for her granddaughter, and it was also in order not to take away the limelight of the pair of hairpins, which not only showed respect for the hairpin ring given by Mrs. Su, but also took great pains to show that Wei Changying could definitely afford to wear this pair of hairpins, which were also famous in the valve reading.

Mrs. Song has far-reaching intentions, at this moment, there is only one pair of hairpins on the pendulum that symbolizes the girl who has not left the pavilion, and there is no other decoration.

The black sideburns like crow's wings and the blood hosta that is about to drip brightly reflect each other, seemingly simple, but because the two colors are rich and pure, they are impressive. Wei Changying was already delicate, and being lined with such crow temples and blood hairpins, she became more and more eyebrows, red lips, and snow nose, which was unforgettable.

She was surrounded by a group of attendants, and swept to the back hall, and the double carp went first to say goodbye, and after a short time, she came out and nodded. Wei Changying took a deep breath, straightened her skirt slightly, and walked in with a dignified and generous demeanor-

The back hall has added some new decorations such as flowers and bonsai, and has replaced it with a new cluster of flowers, which is no different from usual. Old Madam Song gave up her left hand on the throne to Wei Huan, and sat on the right side, with Chen Ruhua standing behind her. The old lady's ambassadors here, Shuangzhu and Shuangjiao, served at the next two tables.

Wei Changying knew that one of the two seats must be Shen Zhou, and now he must be looking at himself, not daring to be distracted, he saluted Wei Huan and Mrs. Song without squinting, and invited her grandfather and grandmother An - Mrs. Song introduced her with a smile: "Haven't you seen your uncle of the Shen family soon?" ”

After getting her grandmother's words, Wei Changying turned around and bowed to the seat of the guest of honor, calling her uncle. She leaned over, and heard a loud and heroic voice and said with a smile: "Hey, is this the girl who promised my nephew Zangfeng?" is a good look, good manners, is it the daughter of Wei...... Get up, it's all a family, no need to be polite. ”

This voice is as loud as a bell, full of energy, it can be said that the sound of the house when speaking, with this voice alone, it is completely consistent with the impression of ordinary people in the eyes of the battlefield and the wild and fierce general.

Wei Changying couldn't help but think of her husband, is this the same? If this is the case, change to a delicate lady, and be a little timid, like Zhu Yan did last time, he was so frightened by Jiang Zheng's loud cry that he fell to the ground......

Sure enough, if you want to be the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, you must guard against it!

She was thinking nonsense here, in order to prove that she was indeed a dignified and elegant lady, she was determined to be able to take on the responsibility of the Shen family's housewife! And at this moment, she still has the shyness of a girl who has not yet left the pavilion, she can only force herself to look up to see how Shen Zhou looks, in order to figure out the possible impulse of Shen Zangfeng's appearance, she lowered her head slightly, and carefully pinched a splendid Luopa with the slender ten fingers of the Qingfeng Sword, and stood there solemnly - Shen Zhou didn't know that this nephew and daughter-in-law was turning a big rebellious idea in her heart, seeing her beauty and proper manners, she was very satisfied, but she sincerely praised a few dignified words, Wei Huan and Mrs. Song wanted to be humble on her behalf.

Wei Changying was distracted and paid attention to her grandfather and grandmother's words, acting shyly in response to the situation, and when her grandfather and grandmother and Shen Zhou were polite about their appearance, demeanor, and demeanor, grandmother expected to send herself away or call herself to her side—and then ...... It's almost the same time she met the elders this time.

After not wanting to finish this politeness, Mrs. Song pointed to Shen Zhou's first seat, and said with a smile: "This is your cousin Song, I saw it when you were an infant before, and then our family returned to Fengzhou, I haven't seen it all these years, I don't think I remember." ”
