Chapter 66: Another Year
Updated: 2014-04-26
"Another year has passed...... "On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Wei Chang Yingying was dressed in beautiful clothes, with strict makeup and decoration, sitting in the hall with a smile, receiving the courtesy of the juniors and subordinates, saying auspicious words in his mouth, and constantly giving out rewards in his hands, but there was a faint melancholy in his heart, "The husband is out on the expedition, and I don't know if everything is okay?" ”
"Third sister-in-law," Huo Qingling beside him was also dressed beautifully, holding Shen Shuyao in her arms - the sixth grandson of the Shen family had very delicate eyebrows and eyes, but she didn't follow her parents. When she first landed, everyone was both funny and wishful, and they all said that she was like a father and a mother. But after growing a little, she found that she looked like her eldest uncle Huo Zhao's 'jade'. This makes it a pity that the six-room husband and 'wife' who have only had a 'woman' for many years have been married.
Fortunately, Huo Zhao's 'jade' is also a beautiful man, and this sixth miss is expected to be a beauty when she grows up.
However, Shen Shuyao is far inferior to her cousins, although she is a baby who is not yet a year old, she is surprisingly able to toss. is now recognized as naughty Shen Shuxie in the Shen family and Shen Shuyan, who is recognized as difficult to serve, were better than her when they were children.
Huo Qingling hugged her for a moment and was quiet for a moment, but at this moment it was noisy again, Huo Qingling had to turn his head sideways and ask Wei Changying, "I'll take my aunt down?" You see, she's so noisy that we can't talk. ”
At this time, Wei Changying was still greeting several old ladies in the clan, and he also felt that it was unseemly for the little niece and 'daughter' to cry beside him - it would have been good to let the 'breast' mother hold it, but Huo Qingling was always not at ease when she first became a mother, and Wei Changying now perfunctory this kind of scene no longer cares about helpers, so she nodded and said, "You go." ”
After Huo Qingling confessed the crime, he hugged Shen Shuyao and went down, and several old ladies in the clan made fun of Shen Shuyao, and asked about Wufang: "I heard earlier that the fifth lady would bring the two little sons back, but then they said that they would not come back?" ”
Originally, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was called according to generation, but since Shen Zangfeng repeatedly purged the family, many close relatives were disposed of by the whole house, and after the status of the sect was stable, the remaining clansmen were afraid and no longer dared to rely on their generation. As a result, relatives near and far now use the title of distant and respectful.
In this regard, Wei Changying changed her words with them after being polite twice-she had suffered a few years of seniority losses before, and she was happy to be able to be more relaxed here.
"It was meant to come back." At this moment, she smiled and said, "Isn't this Shu Ming going to 'Meng' Mountain to guard the mine?" Husband and they are not at ease, in the end, Shu Ming has never been in charge of himself before, but he can't 'draw' people to teach him. Thinking that the fifth brother and sister are his elders after all, they can also give him a strong courage there...... I asked the five brothers and sisters to work hard, and come back after the New Year, so that Shu Ming has a period of adaptation.
In fact, Shen Shuming nominally went to the 'Meng' Mountain to take over the 'jade' mine, but in fact he was taken care of by the deputy director of the mine - with his squishy appearance, who would dare to 'hand' over the huge 'jade' mine to him to manage?
Not to mention that the 'jade' mine is not unique to the Shen family, if there is any problem for him, Rui Yutang and Wei Xinyong will definitely not follow.
It was also after knowing the news that the anger in Wei Changying's heart calmed down a little: her husband hadn't taken care of her to the end, and she knew that this nephew had to be disciplined well, so as not to cause big trouble again!
Regardless of whether the old ladies know the truth about Shen Shuming, the so-called 'jade' mine manager, at this moment, they all say that Shen Zangfeng's husband is good to his nephew.
However, some people tentatively talked about what Shen Shuming had done before: "...... Although he said that he was eager to save his father, he was too reckless. If it weren't for the 'shrewdness' of the valve owner, he took a stand-in and replaced him back, it would be ......"
"How can a young man not make a mistake?" Wei Changying took a look, this old lady's maiden name is Gu, and she is the 'daughter' of the side branch of the Gu family in the imperial capital, and her blood relationship is not very far from Gu Yiran, her husband was made up after Shen Zangfeng's cleaning to be the clan elder, so she is quite close to Shen Zangfeng's husband and 'wife'.
This old lady looks old enough to be Wei Changying's mother and has to grow up for half a generation, but in terms of seniority, she is actually on the same level as Wei Changying. Usually when they meet at the banquet, they all say according to Wei Changying's tone.
At this moment, he suddenly said that Shen Shuming was not, probably to please Wei Changying - Shen Zangfeng was beaten by Wei Changying for three days because he almost exchanged his second son Shen Shuxie for Shen Shuming, and he didn't dare to go out of the 'door' for three days, and Xiliang took it as a warning. This old lady Gu knew that Wei Changying dared to beat her husband behind closed the 'door', but she might not be embarrassed to continue to kill Shen Shuming on the scene.
After all, Shen Shuming had been sent to the 'Meng' Mountain by Shen Zangfeng.
Now that Old Madam Gu mentioned this, even if she was rejected by Wei Changying, it was tantamount to reminding some people where they could do to please this lady of the lord.
But although Wei Changying still has a bad feeling for Shen Shuming, he is unwilling to say that he wants to let people toss him. After all, Shen Zangfeng and the others still cared about Shen Shuming's nephew, and Shen Shuming was not a smart person, in case something happened to him in the 'jade' mine, it alarmed Shen Zangfeng and the others...... Originally, there were a lot of things that needed to be 'worried' when going out. Why bother your husband with any more trouble?
Therefore, Wei Changying said again, "If you know that you can change your mistakes, that's it." As elders, we still have to relax, otherwise, we will scare the children into being tied, although we dare not make mistakes easily, but it is not good. Our Shen disciples have always been proud of their bravery, aren't they? ”
Old Madam Gu was a little embarrassed when she heard this.
Wei Changying didn't want to chill her heart, so he smiled at her deliberately and said, "I haven't seen you Old Madam Gu for some days, but now I look more 'spirited'." ”
The old lady Gu's reluctance disappeared slightly, and she said with a smile: "What you said is that there is also a reason for this." ”
In fact, the New Year's Day, if there is no special trouble, who does not have three points of joy on their faces? Doesn't that look like this?
When Wei Changying said this, she didn't expect Old Madam Gu to really admit it, and she and several old ladies nearby asked with great interest: "Oh, but I don't know why Old Madam Gu is so 'spirited' today?" Could it be that there is some happy event at home? ”
Old Madam Gu said with a smile: "If you want to say that there must be happy events, but that was more than half a year ago - didn't you all still have a salute at that time?" ”
"You mean marrying your granddaughter-in-law?" More than half a year ago, one of the grandchildren of the old lady Gu got married, and Wei Changying not only followed the ceremony, but also brought his son and niece over to have a lively time, and smiled at the moment, "I know, must it be your granddaughter-in-law who has good news?" ”
Several other old ladies also guessed so—but Old Madam Gu smiled and said, "There is no good news yet, but it is only a matter of time before it comes." I'm happy that this granddaughter-in-law can do a good job, she is really virtuous and lovely, which makes me feel more distressed the more I look at it! ”
She praised the granddaughter-in-law who was born in Xilin Zhou, how capable and filial she was, and finally sighed with emotion, "I only have one son, but my daughter-in-law 'wife' went early, and my son never renewed." Earlier, I asked the eldest granddaughter-in-law to take care of the house, and the eldest granddaughter-in-law has been sick since she gave birth. The next few granddaughters-in-law have limited ability, in the end, after this granddaughter-in-law entered the 'door', I was relieved, and now there is nothing to do except eat, sleep, sleep and eat. ”
Everyone laughed: "This is also your blessing, the filial daughter-in-law in this world is easy to find, but the filial and capable one is not necessarily." You deserve that. ”
There was also an old lady who asked with concern: "Such a capable granddaughter-in-law must be excellent if she wants to come to teach at home...... But I don't know if she still has sisters who are always in the boudoir? A few boys in my family have reached the age of marriage......"
Wei Changying listened with a smile at first, but gradually came to his senses here, is this to say goodbye to this sect?
It's just that although Old Madam Gu mentioned Shen Shuming before, according to the old lady's personality, when she tried her best to get close to the valve owner's room, she would definitely not consider Shen Shuming...... Could it be......
She also smiled and asked: "What Mrs. Zhang said is, Mrs. Gu, don't be reluctant, your family has married a virtuous and capable granddaughter-in-law who makes you full of praise, this is good, and we have to introduce it evenly, don't we?" ”
Sure enough, Mrs. Gu smiled and joked, and happily 'handed' the granddaughter-in-law Zhou had a cousin who grew up together when she was in the boudoir, who was the 'daughter' of the Rongcheng Deng family, and she was fifteen years old tonight, and she was both beautiful and gentle and virtuous, and her granddaughter-in-law Zhou was very similar to her very satisfied 'temperament'.
…… The next day, after finishing the sacrifice and other things, Wei Changying waved off the rest of the people and discussed with the Huang family: "This Deng family should want to introduce it to the second brother, right?" ”
"If it weren't for the eldest son, it would definitely be for the second master." Huang smiled, "Our second son is not yet the year of marriage!" Besides, this Deng family is not from a high background, where is he worthy of our second son? ”
"If only he were gentle and virtuous, not pretentious." Wei Changying sighed, "It's just that I'm younger, and I'm only two or three years older than Yan'er." How will this stepmother get along with her stepdaughter in the future? Especially Yan'er's 'temperament' is stubborn. ”
Huang felt that she had too much heart to '' for the second room, so he reminded: "The identity of the second master, even if it is continued, it must be an unmarried 'daughter'." Where can there be a person who is too old? Besides, the fourth lady is thirteen years old! How many more years can you stay at home? If you are afraid that she will not get along with her stepmother, after the new second lady passes the 'door', you can let the fourth lady continue to live in the sixth room. The maid thinks that the new second lady, even if she is kind, may not necessarily have to live in the second room of the fourth lady, in the end, the mother and daughter seem to be old, and it is embarrassing to get along, isn't it? ”
"I'll write to my husband tomorrow." Wei Changying tilted his head, thought for a moment and said, "I'm not all 'worrying' about Yan'er, you know the second brother and aunt." He only values his children, and he is impatient to ask about things in the backyard. I'm afraid that if the second sister-in-law can't give birth to a male heir in the future, like the previous second sister-in-law, I will have to give the second brother a concubine to continue the heir, and in the end, there will be another backyard 'wave'...... To be honest, if I am the second sister-in-law, just because I have no son, I want to treat the concubine born to the concubine as a treasure, but drive away my own biological 'daughter', and I will also have a grudge against that concubine. So for a person like the second brother, it's better to find him a really honest and honest steproom. ”
Huang snorted slightly, thinking that the people who came out of the family were really honest and honest, and the elders in the family and the people around him to marry, could they not mention something?
"The second master is in the prime of life, and there will definitely be heirs in the future." Huang smiled, "Even now that the second master is on the march, I'm afraid that even if it becomes a family, it will not be easy to get married." ”
"I will write two letters, and when the time comes, let the person who sent the letter see that he will tell him these 'private' things when he has time." Wei Changying nodded, and thought to himself: "I received news a few days ago that the families tried to add people to the husband's backyard in vain, and sent everyone to Wen Yanzi. Are you thinking about a detour now? The second brother is not married, but this candidate for a wife can directly let the 'daughter' come out. In addition to this Deng family, I don't know who will be the next candidate? ”
