Chapter 69: Ge Shun
[Chapter 3, Volume 3]
Section 200
Although there are Mrs. Su and Liu in the front, Wei Changying is just a handicap, but when he really manages it, he knows the cumbersome and solemn affairs of marriage. Wei Changying followed her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to go out early and return late for more than ten days before everything was sorted out.
After relieving her breath, Wei Changying thought that the third lady Shen Jimei had never appeared, and she couldn't help but feel strange. On this day, she was the only one with Liu, so she inquired, and Liu whispered: "You don't know, the biological mother of the third sister passed away last year." ”
It turned out that she was wearing filial piety, and she came back to Wei Changying to serve tea on the strange road, but now Shen Zanghui's marriage has no shadow of her.
Wei Changying suddenly said, "I said, I haven't seen the third sister in the past few days since I entered the door." ”
Liu said lightly: "A family can always see it." ”
…… The day before yesterday, the Liu family received the holy decree of marriage, Liu Ruoyu was going to marry into the East Palace at the end of the year, and the Liu family, who had always regarded this cousin as a daughter, was in a very bad mood for the past two days. Even in front of Mrs. Su, she didn't have the intention of joking, so Wei Changying didn't care about her cold reaction now, so she ended the topic, asked Qin Ge to study the ink, and continued to finish writing the roster in her hand.
However, after only writing two strokes, Zhu Yan ran over in a hurry, saluted, and said: "An old servant came to our door to post a post, saying that the eldest aunt and wife moved to the imperial capital not long ago, and only then did she clean up the house, so she sent someone to tell the young lady." ”
Wei Changying sighed, and said to Liu: "It's my mother's aunt, speaking of which, I was only hugged by her in my infancy." Over the years, I heard that my eldest uncle had been serving in other places, and when I went to see my cousin before, I heard that my eldest aunt seemed to have been transferred back to Gyeonggi. It's just that I didn't inquire about their residence at the time, thinking that there were many things to do when I came back, and they would definitely tell me after they were settled, but didn't someone come? ”
Although Liu's interest was not high, the scene was still perfunctory, revealing a look of concern, and said, "Yo! Then you have to go over in person, I haven't seen you for so many years, and I think you think about your aunt too. ”
"I'll go meet the person who posted it first and ask about the current situation." Wei Changying got up and confessed to her, "I still ask my sister-in-law to help me take care of the affairs here, and I don't dare to ......disturb my mother now that she is in front of me."
Liu nodded and said, "Your aunt sent someone, how can you not go and take a look?" I'll just come here, and I'll help you when my mother comes back, so you can go with confidence. ”
Wei Changying thanked her, and returned to the Taifu Mansion with Qin Ge, Zhu Yan and others, and asked Zhu Yan where he was on the way, Zhu Yan said: "The second young lady asked him where he came from, and he was led to Jintong Courtyard." Aunt Wan sent Shen Ju to accompany him to drink tea in the side room in front of him. ”
He also said, "Aunt He knows someone who seems to have the surname Ge." ”
Wei Changying looked at the Huang family: "Isn't it the eldest aunt's dowry?" ”
Huang pondered for a while and said: "When the eldest aunt and wife left the cabinet, one of the stewards who accompanied the marriage seemed to be surnamed Ge. ”
When he arrived at Jintong Courtyard, Wei Changying changed into a set of dresses for visitors, and helped the sideburns bead flowers, so that the left and right sides could see it without hindrance, and then sent someone to the front to call the old servant surnamed Ge over.
After a while, people arrived, and sure enough, it was the He family who came in, about fifty years old, gray hair, short stature, and a loyal and honest face, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, to Wei Changying to ask for peace, and his self-registered surname was Ge Shun - it is indeed what the Huang family said, Wei Shengxian's dowry steward, and now he is Wei Shengxian's big butler.
Wei Changying politely asked him to sit and asked about Wei Shengxian's recent situation.
Ge Shun said respectfully: "Madame, everything is fine, and the two young ladies are fine." It's just that the lady hasn't seen her mother's family for a long time, and now that she has returned to live in the imperial capital, she knows that the third lady has been out of the cabinet and is also full of moon, so she misses it very much. A few days ago, I was settling all kinds of things in the new house, and I was worried that the third lady would have no place to receive it in the past, but now that it is cleaned up, I want to invite the third lady to come over to the house. ”
Wei Changying sighed: "This is as it should be. In fact, two days ago, I went to visit my cousin of the Song family, and I heard her say that my eldest aunt was transferred back to Gyeonggi to work, so I wanted to see my eldest aunt. It's just that Cousin Song doesn't know where the eldest aunt lives, I think the eldest aunt is probably busy, otherwise someone will definitely come to tell me. Sure enough, you came over today, but it was not a coincidence in the past two days, my fourth brother here is going to Pei's house to greet him on the eighth day of the sixth month. It's the second day of June today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get out. ”
Ge Shun hurriedly said: "The third lady is out of the cabinet now, so naturally she has to focus on the affairs of her husband's family. When the old slave came, his wife repeatedly told him not to delay the affairs of the Shen family. Madame only hopes that the third lady will be able to go and see her when she is free. ”
"When the fourth brother and sister have passed the door, I will make time and go over to see the eldest aunt and two cousins." Wei Changying nodded, promised, and asked Wei Shengxian how good he had been in the past few years, what the two cousins liked, and so on.
Ge Shun answered one by one, and Wei Changying knew that Wei Shengxian had been forced by her husband's family to succeed over the years, except for being forced by her husband's family to succeed because she had no children. Wei Shengxian's husband Song Yue has an honest temperament, although he also accepted two concubines for the sake of his heirs in his early years, but he gave them away before returning to Jinggi, and he also loved Song Xiyue and Song Ruxuan's two daughters very much.
These two aunts and cousins, one sixteen and one fourteen, are quiet and virtuous, and the female red needlework is very good - Ge Shun is a servant, so naturally they all choose good words. How Wei Shengxian and his two daughters are really doing, Wei Changying feels that he still has to visit himself to know.
However, Shen Zanghui's wedding date was imminent, and Wei Changying couldn't ask Mrs. Su, who was very busy, to see her aunt now, so she made an appointment with Ge Shun to meet Pei Meiniang at Wei Shengxian's door after passing the door.
Ge Shun brought Eli Lilly, Wei Changying doubled back, and asked Huang to personally pick out two copies of the same jewelry, especially for the two cousins, and sent Shen Ju to send him back, and came back after recognizing the door.
After such a busy time, noon has passed.
The food was delivered in the small kitchen, Wei Changying ate a few bites indiscriminately, and was about to continue to Xiangningbo Mansion, but saw Shen Zangfeng wearing a personal guard costume and a knife hanging from his waist.
Seeing Wei Changying, Shen Zangfeng was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Aren't you busy today?" ”
"My eldest aunt just sent someone here, so please ask my sister-in-law to help me take care of it, and come back to receive it first, and then I will send people away." Wei Changying stood up, at this time Shen Shuyan also struggled to land from Shen Zangfeng's arms, Shen Zangfeng bent down to put her down, she came over to salute Wei Changying, her big black eyes smiled and narrowed into two crescents, very cute, sweet greetings to the third aunt.
Wei Changying leaned over and touched her hair, and asked with a smile, "Yan'er came here, do you want to eat fruit?" "Then he told them to bring fruit.
Before Qin Ge moved, Shen Shuyan shook his head and said in a milky voice: "I'll come to see Cui Di'er and Cui Wei'er." ”
"Cuidier and Cuidier?" Wei Changying thought for a while before remembering that the two parrots sent by Song Zaishui were exactly these names, so he teased her, "You just come to see Cui Di'er and Cui Wei'er, don't you come to see the third aunt?" Don't you like the third aunt anymore? ”
Shen Shuyan hurriedly said: "I like the third aunt. ”
"Then why did you come to see the parrot, but not the third aunt?" Qin Ge brought the fruit over, and Wei Changying fed her a piece and smiled.
Shen Shuyan blinked with big eyes and said with a grin: "Because the third aunt is busy, my mother told me not to disturb the third aunt, and I dare to come when I meet the third uncle who is willing to bring me in today." ”
Wei Changying couldn't help but feel a little unbearable when she heard her say pitiful, but Duanmu was Shen Shuyan's biological mother, and it was not easy to talk about her harsh goddaughter, so she smiled and said: "Third aunt, there is nothing to disturb here, in the future, if you want to come, come in, and ask Zhu Yan and Zhu Shi to lead you to see the parrot." There are goldfish in the pool over there...... It's just that there is no one to accompany you, so you are not allowed to watch it alone, so as not to hurt you. ”
"I want to see parrots." Shen Shuyan finished eating the flesh that Wei Changying gave her, and said, "I don't like goldfish." ”
"Okay, then tell Zhu Shi to come in and accompany you to see the parrot." Wei Changying touched her little face, smiled and asked people to call Zhu Shi, accompany her to find Cui Di'er and Cui Wei'er to play, and told Zhu Shi to be careful, don't let the parrot scratch Shen Shuyan.
When Shen Shuyan went out, Wei Changying asked Shen Zangfeng: "Why did you come back so early today?" ”
Shen Zangfeng smiled: "I saw that you only cared about coaxing Yan'er, and thought you had forgotten me." ”
The maids all covered their mouths and snickered, Wei Changying blushed slightly, and said, "How old are you, you still have to drink vinegar with your niece, why are you embarrassed?" Then he asked, "Is there something wrong with coming back so early today?" ”
"It's nothing." Shen Zangfeng said with a smile, "The Lord Commander is going to greet him in person because of Zanghui, and the palace is not busy these days, so let us come back to help." ”
Wei Changying said: "This will be almost the same." ”
"I can run errands after all." Shen Zangfeng smiled and said that he would accompany her to Xiangningbo Mansion.
Wei Changying asked him if he had eaten in the palace, and was about to nod, but remembered that Shen Shuyan was still there, so he said, "Let's all leave, doesn't it matter if we leave someone to accompany Yan'er?" ”
"What about a large group of people, although we have a pool here, it is not deep, and Yan'er only reaches his chin when he goes down." Shen Zangfeng said, "Just tell them to be careful." ”
When the two got outside, they saw Shen Shuyan crawling on top of the beauty, waving a newly folded rose in her hand, and kept attracting the two parrots hanging on the shelf under the porch to peck. In addition to the previous greetings, he will also scold people when he is angry, and he is scolding her at the moment: "Badass! Little villain! ”
Shen Shuyan was not angry but happy, and said in surprise to Zhu Shi, who was helping her next to her to avoid falling: "Sister Zhu Shi, listen, they will still scold people!" ”
"It's going to be a lot." Zhu Shi said proudly, "When they are happy, they will learn the song of larks......
Shen Zangfeng coughed twice before they noticed it, and Zhu Shi hurriedly hugged Shen Shuyan down: "Son, young lady!" ”
"Let's go to Xiangningbo Mansion to help, you guys take good care of Yan'er, you know?" Shen Zangfeng instructed his subordinates, touched Shen Shuyan's head again, and told her, "Don't run around, be obedient." If you feel hot, ask them to bring the parrot into the house to use ice, but don't be too cold, lest it get cold to ......"
After telling him in detail for a long time, and seeing Shen Shuyan nodding obediently, Shen Zangfeng left with Wei Changying.
When he went out, Wei Changying made fun of him: "I see that Yan'er is about to fall asleep when I hear it, it's really hard for you to think of so many things to advise, but if you change my instructions, it won't be so complete." ”
Shen Zangfeng smiled and said, "Sooner or later, you will be more complete than me." ”
Wei Changying didn't understand what he meant, and asked curiously, "Why?" ”
"Those are the words I used to say goodbye to my mother when I went on a business trip." Shen Zangfeng's gaze swept silently over her lower abdomen, and quietly whispered to her ear, "I was also almost asleep listening to it at the time, but my mother took the trouble to say it every time, and I wrote it down more times." ”
Wei Changying was ashamed, slapped him, and said, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”
