Chapter 1: The Return
[Chapter 5, Volume 5]
Section 478
Back at the Taifu Mansion, the ladies had already gathered at Mrs. Su in the upper room and waited.
There are not a few people in the hall, not to mention the slave maid, the eldest daughter-in-law Liu led the eldest grandson Miss Shen Shujing, the second daughter-in-law Duanmu Yanyu left and right are the second grandson Miss Shen Shurou and the third grandson Miss Shen Shuyue, and the fifth daughter-in-law Su Yuyin, who passed the door at the end of last year, is the one who is married, and the messy makeup that he liked most before leaving the cabinet has been reined in. Wei Changying is used to seeing her weird appearance with heavy makeup, at first glance, even if she has made Feixia makeup, she still has a feeling of washing away the lead, but the years and experience are placed there, and there is still a little greenness between her eyebrows.
This group of people in the hall was not as lively as Wei Changying before he went to Xiliang.
Xu is because the noisy children are not there, and now they are either elders, or they are well-read ladies like Shen Shujing, and they are all silent without squinting when they are instructed by the elders. Although Liu and Duanmu Yanyu deliberately flattered Mrs. Su in the hall, they were not silent. However, when I walked in, I only felt elegant, but I didn't have the feeling of being full of vitality when Shen Shuming was young and Shen Shuyan was also there.
As soon as Mrs. Yesu saw the three-room family come in, her eyes lit up.
Naturally, the couple hurriedly took their sons to pay their respects.
Mrs. Su's eyes lingered on the swaddling arms of the nurse next to Wei Changying, and she helped her with joy on her face: "Family, why do you have to be so formal? You've just come back again, sit down, don't get tired. ”
When Wei Changying met with Concubine and sat down on the seat specially vacated by Su Yuyin, Mrs. Su smiled and asked the nurse who kowtowed to the fourth grandson held by Zhengdai to quickly pick up the little grandson: "This is Xie'er?" I have long heard that this child was born like me, so let me see it. ”
The nurse hurriedly hugged Shen Shuxie according to her words, and Mrs. Su took a look at it in her arms, and was so happy that she couldn't speak, and called Mama Tao vigorously: "Look at these eyebrows, ten out of ten are my relatives and grandchildren!" Li'er Feng'er is my own child, but they are all like their father. I didn't expect this grandson to follow me! ”
Liu and Duanmu Yanyu both brought their daughters to serve in the hall, and when they came up to take a look at it at this moment, they both praised it: "Xie'er is really like a mother!" He also said, "The two nephews under the knee of the third brother and sister are really sympathetic to their father and mother, and one follows his father and the other follows his mother." ”
Mrs. Su originally attached great importance to her male grandson, not to mention that she still looked like her grandson, and she was reluctant to let go of the swaddling clothes at the moment, and she gave a pair of jade pendants that she pressed at the bottom of the box when she came out of the cabinet as a meeting gift - according to Mama Tao, who went to get the jade pendant in person, it is not an exaggeration to say that this jade pendant is worth a lot of money, and it is definitely a good thing in the eyes of the six valves in the sea! It shows how much Mrs. Su loves this grandson, who seems to be enough.
This distress made Shen Shuguang, who had originally made up his mind to rely on his mother in order to seek refuge, a little envious. It's just that he was going to go forward and play coquettish with his grandmother, so that his grandmother would forget about himself when she didn't see her younger brother, but he suddenly noticed that his father from the side cast a smile and a smile, Shen Shuguang suddenly shuddered, and pulled the corners of his mother's clothes tightly and refused to let go......
After a while of excitement around Shen Shuxie, Wei Changying had the strength to take out some of the Tuyi that he brought back, such as the piece of superb jade that he asked for from Mengshan Jade Mine before leaving. Mrs. Dutuosu, who was dedicated to her in-laws and uncle, handed it over, and of course the part that she shared with Shen Zangzhu before was not all used by the two of them, except for a few pieces for their own use, they were all favored, and they were given to the concubines and nieces in the name of the two of them.
Although the Taifu Mansion had long known that Shen Zangfeng and his wife had made a jade mine in Mengshan, they still "robbed" Wei Changying's sixth uncle. However, because Shen Zangfeng didn't bring it when he came back, he has been busy with Shen Xuan and Shen Zhou since he came back, and he has no time to talk about this new industry. Mrs. Yi Su and these people didn't know much about this industry, and now they asked by praising jade.
Listening to Wei Changying's general story-of the version of Wei Xinyong's feud with the Marquis of Jingcheng, of course, and simplifying it-it is said that when Wei Xinyong passed by in Fengzhou, he was moved by compassion among the bandits who were taken in, and some people discovered mines in Mengshan when they were young, but they heard Taohuaxian Town as Taohua County, so they later dedicated it to Wei Xinyong because of gratitude.
And Wei Xinyong sent his subordinates to Mengshan to look for minerals - Wei Changying and Shen Zangfeng respectively on behalf of Ruiyutang and Mingpeitang respectively forced Wei Xinyong to share the minerals, of course, they can't talk directly, so this part became Wei Xinyong's indifference to the money, but he couldn't bear to brush the bandit's heart, so he sent people to Mengshan to find it with the mentality of trying it out.
Then because he didn't find it, and his niece Wei Changying happened to be in Xiliang nearby, Wei Xinyong's subordinates went to visit him, and he could tell Wei Xinyong when he went back, so that the Wei family's family could know Wei Changying's current situation.
When they were asking for peace, these people mentioned the matter of the jade mine, and then the profound and kind son-in-law of the Wei family, Shen Zangfeng, reminded him of the difference between the names of the towns and counties. After that, of course, these people found the mine in Taohuaxian Town smoothly...... is also a disciple of Valve, Wei Xinyong is such a noble and dusty person, he will never forget the reminder of his niece and son-in-law, so he insists on distributing Sancheng minerals to Shen Zangfeng!
And Shen Zangfeng, a person who can be an example for the children of the valve, is of course not a person who wants to repay the favor, so he repeatedly bowed his words. However, Wei Xinyong had to give it, even if Shen Zangfeng repeatedly refused, but in the end, based on the point of "the elder gives it, it cannot be resigned", Shen Zangfeng did not dare to accept such a heavy gift privately, so he accepted it in the name of the family...... As for why Ruiyutang also has three percent, Wei Xinyong is happy to honor the clan, isn't this normal?
…… The adults in the hall can guess what the real situation is, the jade mine is not a cabbage field, it doesn't matter if the neighbors pass by and pick two, they can also give them to relatives one by one when they are harvested. Wei Xinyong is talented but has a shallow foundation, he needs money to open the way and consolidate his body, holding a jade mine in his hand, sending a few pieces of jade even a few boxes of jade finished products is common sense, but it is not a last resort, he will take the initiative to send out the right to sixty percent of the minerals!
However, who in the family has not done something about bullying the weak and stealing the weak?
And although Wei Xinyong suffered a big loss this time, in fact, it was Rui Yutang who took advantage of it the most, and he didn't know it in advance, and he couldn't reach it afterwards. Just because a concubine, Wei Changying, married in the Shen family, and the mine was discovered by Wei Xinyong, who nominally belonged to Ruiyutang, in the early years, it was divided into three percent, not to mention, and even the responsibility of guarding the jade mine was borne by the nearby Shen family - it was completely for nothing to take thirty percent of the benefits.
Compared with Rui Yutang, who is sitting in Fengzhou to collect money, because Wei Changying is the future mother of the Shen family, even if it is the old servants of the Shen family and Wei Xinyong who are in charge of the mine now, Rui Yutang, who does not dare to be too pitiful, is simply a famous conscience for the Shen family, who is responsible for protecting the jade mine in the next troubled times! If it weren't for the relationship between Wei Changying and Wei Changying, the Shen family would definitely take advantage of the troubled times to occupy it all!
So at this moment, everyone is laughing meaningfully: "Xin Yong is too polite, they are all from their own family, Feng'er is just a little sober, how can he give Sancheng mining rights?" The next time I see me, I want to say that he doesn't want to spoil his juniors like this. ”
Mrs. Su's voice fell, and Liu Shi smiled before speaking: "Mother, according to the daughter-in-law, even if you say that the sixth uncle of the Wei family may not listen to it-you think, the third brother and sister are the nieces and nephews of the sixth uncle of the Wei family, and the sixth uncle of Wei wants to hurt his niece and niece and son-in-law, can you still stop it?" ”
Duanmu Yanyu also smiled lightly and said: "What the eldest sister-in-law said is that our family and the Wei family are in-laws, who doesn't know that the third brother and sister are favored in their mother's family?" The sixth uncle of the Wei family is also a well-known person who fights righteousness and squanders money! ”
Mrs. Su is just talking about the scene - originally, Wei Xinyong has not married a wife, it is more convenient for him to see Shen Xuan, and the chance to see Mrs. Su is not so great. Because he and Mrs. Su are the same generation, even if he goes to the Taifu Mansion, there is no need to visit his sister-in-law every time. He was a young and handsome man, and it was not convenient for Mrs. Su to see him.
Since it's hard to see, how can you preach? Could it be that Mrs. Su still had to send someone to Wei Xinyong's place to say that she couldn't do it? The Shen family didn't plan to return this benefit, so it would be a deliberate humiliation to say that.
Therefore, after the daughters-in-law had fun, Mrs. Su didn't mention this matter anymore, and asked a few words about the situation on the road, and she cared about Shen Zangzhu, Shen Shuxi and Shen Shuyan, who were far away in Xiliang.
Wei Chang Yingda has been very excited since the reunion with her husband and eldest son, and only now did she feel strange: Why didn't Pei Meiniang come? Not to mention that Pei Meiniang has been doing well with Taifu Mansion in the past two years, let's just say that Pei Meiniang is a person, even if she is not good with this side, in order to immediately know the recent situation of her daughter Shen Shuxi, she will be cheeky and run over to wait for her.
But Mrs. Su's side may not be able to pull her face to drive her away......
But at this moment, there are only people from the Taifu Mansion in the hall......
Guessing in her heart, Wei Changying kept talking about the situation of Shen Zangzhu when she left-Shen Shuyan suddenly couldn't move, so he sent someone to send a letter to explain it to Duanmu Yanyu one step earlier.
At this moment, Duanmu Yanyu repeatedly confirmed that her daughter was safe and sound, but because she was weak after detoxification, she couldn't afford to travel long distances, so she had to stay in Xiliang, and she breathed a sigh of relief, so she said hatefully: "This little thing is getting more and more nonsense!" Earlier, I heard that the third brother and sister spoiled her, so I thought that she should not be spoiled and arrogant, and she was reluctant to discipline her with a heavy hand when she bullied the third brother and sister! I don't want her to be so bold that she dares to lie to the order to deceive the sixth brother, and even picks and eats poisonous mushrooms indiscriminately! It's a shame that Miss Cao is fine, otherwise how can I explain to my third siblings? ”
Wei Changying naturally said: "Second sister-in-law, don't say this!" If you want to explain, I don't think I have the face to see you all the way! This child is not sensible anymore, and it is no longer ordinary, otherwise how would they need adults to watch them? Speaking of which, I'm not good, I patronized and packed up my things in those days, but I didn't take a good look at them! As a result, the journey was about to start, and the two children couldn't run around! Leave Yan'er in Xiliang alive! ”
"Just tell her to reflect on her in Xiliang." Duanmu Yanyu clutched the handkerchief tightly, but said angrily on her face, "It's a pity that you have to work hard again, big sister!" This is not a good thing, and when she comes back, she must give her some color! ”
Because Duanmu Yanyu has always had a reputation for being strict with her goddaughter, at this moment she said that she would severely punish her little daughter, Mrs. Su didn't dare to listen to it, and while holding her little grandson, she frowned slightly, and said lukewarmly: "Chang Ying has said it, she is a child, and it is common to be ignorant." Fortunately, Ji Qu's illness is because of his son, and he is also in Xiliang, isn't he rescued? Besides, with Zhu'er over there, she is not afraid that no one will raise her, and Xi'er can be her companion...... It's nothing more than a longer separation! The girl's family is expensive, and Yan'er has always been smart, not such an unreasonable person. When she comes back, you can reason with her well, maybe she will already know the importance after this time? Blindly harsh, your own flesh and blood will become outsiders! ”
Duanmu Yanyan couldn't get off the stage when he said this, and said with a red face: "Mother taught me a lesson." ”
Liu's well-known virtuous sister-in-law came out of the round and said with a smile: "The second brother and sister are also deeply responsible for love, but Yan'er is young and delicate, I'm afraid I can't understand the second brother and sister's approach very well." ”
"What the sister-in-law said is that Yan'er is getting older now, but she is becoming more and more sensible. In fact, this poisoning is due to my negligence in taking care of it, and secondly, the poisonous mushrooms in the forest are too much like non-poisonous mushrooms. Don't hide it from my sister-in-law, I asked the local people later, and it is said that the old people who were born and raised over there sometimes can't necessarily tell the difference! Speaking of which, Yiren still learned to identify medicinal materials from people like Ji Laozhang and Ji Shenyi, and she couldn't recognize them at night, otherwise there would be no such thing. Wei Changying knew that these two sisters-in-law were small-minded, but they didn't dare to say anything Shen Shuyan had been comforted and enlightened by Shen Zangzhu and herself, and now she has thought about a lot of clouds...... Duanmu Yanyu will definitely think that this is turning a corner and scolding her, and she won't even coax her own daughter!
So she took Shen Shuyan's age to speak, and then mentioned the matter of poisonous mushrooms to divert the topic, and said, "But Yan'er also thought that those mushrooms were delicious when she picked them at first." He said to Mrs. Su, "After my daughter-in-law heard about it, she sent someone to get some tastes, which are indeed better than those in our imperial capital." Therefore, some people took it, and they were all seen by Doctor Ji and Aunt Huang one by one. It's just that Chenguang is in a hurry, but there are not many things, so I can only give my father, mother and sister-in-law a taste. ”
Mrs. Su reminded: "Don't forget your uncle's side - the beautiful lady is pregnant, and she feels that she can't eat anything for the past two days!" ”
"The fourth brother and sister are pregnant?" Wei Changying said happily, "This is really a great event...... Mother, don't worry, how can the daughter-in-law on the uncle's side forget? You've got them all ready! ”
Strange Dao didn't come over, waiting for his arrival, so he asked Shen Shuxi.
