[Chapter 5, Volume 5]

Section 484

Although even Song Zaijiang didn't know why Song Yuwang was so good that he had the will to die, and he refused to ask for Duanmu Xing, the master Duanmu Xing, to personally bring his granddaughter to his door for diagnosis and treatment, and even refused to treat Duanmu Xinmiao's master Ji Quai's illness, but Wei Changying couldn't just watch his uncle be prescribed by a group of helpless imperial doctors to linger on the sickbed.

So after returning from Sikong Mansion, she repeatedly thought about the inner reason.

Two days later, she came to her senses and went to her husband to ask: "Except for the fact that my uncle insisted that the second cousin Song take a break from Duanmu, what kind of grudge does he have with the Duanmu family?" ”

Shen Zangfeng was stunned and said: "I haven't heard of it...... he was originally a person with a clear mind, and his wife also woke up when she mentioned this, "Yes, the meaning of Song's cousin's words that day, the reason why Uncle Song refused to ask for a divine physician to treat him was all because he hated the Duanmu family, but he didn't necessarily really want to die-otherwise, why would he let the imperial doctor pass by every day?" ”

But thinking about this, Shen Zangfeng was even more confused, "Uncle Song has had some political disagreements with the Duanmu family over the years, but then again, there are many courts, and after a few years, who can not start a dispute?" Let's talk about Uncle Song and Taishi, even my father and grandfather have also had a few disputes. These are not hatreds - besides, Song's second cousin Xiu Naduanmu was a matter of the previous two years, and before that, Uncle Song had a good relationship with Taishi, otherwise why would the two families have children and daughters? ”

Wei Changying frowned and said, "It's really strange, how could my uncle hate the Duanmu family so much?" ”

Shen Zangfeng said, "Didn't you say that our righteous sister would come over in the afternoon?" ”

"You also know that she doesn't pay much attention to things at home, but she doesn't necessarily know about it." Wei Changying sighed - Song Yuwang may not be bent on death, but he is so disgusted with the Duanmu family that he would rather wait for death than be diagnosed and treated by a divine doctor, which is still implied by Song Zaijiang in his words.

Although I don't know why this cousin Song refused to say it clearly, since Song Zaijiang saw it, the reminder in his sister-in-law's words only reached the point where Song Yuwang hated Duanmu's family, and obviously he didn't know why-it must have been that he didn't find out when he inquired with Taishi, or Duanmu Xing knew but refused to say. No matter what the situation is, all in all, Song Zaijiang doesn't know, but the possibility that Duanmu Xinmiao can ask is not high.

Shen Zangfeng said with a smile: "Don't underestimate our righteous sister, she may not be interested, but she may not be able to find out." If this is not the case, why would Cousin Song express to us that Uncle Song does not like the Duanmu family? ”

Wei Changying was surprised: "Xin Miao is so capable now? And he took these words to heart.

After noon, Duanmu Xinmiao was invited, and after Wei Changying introduced her to a seat, because the two were familiar with each other before, they didn't have to be too polite at the moment, and after a little greeting, Wei Changying waited to talk about his uncle straight to the point - she always felt that something was wrong with Duanmu Xinmiao, and she came to her senses after a while, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Why are you still dressed like this when you are out of the cabinet?" ”

But Duanmu Xinmiao was wearing a goose yellow short skirt with a green Luo skirt, a golden hairpin and a jade ring, neatly dressed, and her hair was full of green silk and a hanging bun - this hairstyle is only combed by girls who have not been out of the cabinet. Wei Changying remembered that she was out of the cabinet at the beginning of May and when she was still in Xiliang, how could she still dress up as unmarried? Even if you don't get along well with Huo Shenyuan, you always have to cover it up when you go out!

I don't want Duanmu Xinmiao to hear this, she looked at her in even more surprise, and said, "Huo Shenyuan's biological mother went in April, sister-in-law, don't you know?" ”

Wei Changying suddenly said, "I just came back, and I think the people below haven't bothered to tell me." No, the marriage dates of the six brothers and three sisters in the family have been set, although the sister-in-law is capable, I always have to help. And my maternal uncle has been sick since the beginning of spring until now, two days ago I went to Sikong Mansion with your third brother to visit, and I have remembered this for the past two days! ”

As soon as Duanmu Xinmiao heard this, he said, "I know what you are looking for me to do today-Zhu Yan, put away the medicine sachet." ”

Mrs. Su took Mu Xinmiao to Taifu's mansion on the grounds that she hadn't seen her righteous daughter for several days, and she missed her very much. So after Duanmu Xinmiao came, she first accompanied Mrs. Su in the upper room for a long time, and then in order to take care of the face of her sister Duanmu Yanyu of the same clan, and in order to save time, Mrs. Su said that Wei Changying had just come back from Xiliang, and she was afraid that her daughter-in-law would be tired on the way, so she asked the righteous daughter to go to Jintong Courtyard to show the third daughter-in-law, so she was sent directly to the third room.

Duanmu Xinmiao didn't know whether it was true or not, and when he came over, he specially ordered someone to bring the medicine bag.

At this moment, I heard Wei Changying turn the topic to Song Yuwang, but she made sense at all, waved her hand to make everyone quit, took a sip of tea and said: "Sister-in-law, you asked me about this matter in vain, at the beginning of the year, your cousin Song asked me out in private to ask about it." I was confused at the time, so I was entrusted by her to go to my grandfather to inquire when I returned home. But my grandfather also said that I didn't know where to offend Song Sikong! ”

Song Yuwang just fell ill this year, and the Taishi personally came to visit, and proposed to let his granddaughter treat him when he was refused, Mrs. Wei has not passed away, and of course Song Zaishui's children don't have to go to Jiangnan to mourn, so they found out their father's true thoughts, and they couldn't get an answer from Song Yuwang, so they turned to Duanmu's house to ask what was going on.

Wei Changying felt a little tricky in his heart, and muttered, "It turns out that my cousin was still in the imperial capital? ”

"It's weird to say." Duanmu Xinmiao approached Wei Changying and said in a low voice, "I haven't noticed Song Sikong's personality before, but after your cousin asked, third sister-in-law, I specially inquired with my stepmother before I went to see my grandfather - Song Sikong is not a small person!" Our family really doesn't have any big grievances with him, why did he first advocate letting the third sister-in-law, your second cousin Song, take a break from Duanmu Colorless, and then he was so angry that he didn't even want his life in order to hate our Duanmu family? It is said that in the matter of Duanmu Wuse, it should be our Duanmu family who is more angry, even if Duanmu Wuse has all kinds of unvirtuous when she is the daughter-in-law of the Song family, Song Sikong is not even willing to let her die a dignified death. Our splendid Duanmu's face has been lost! How can this not quench Song Sikong's anger? ”

Wei Changying became more and more like falling into the five-fold clouds, and said, "This is really weird! If it's for Duanmu to be colorless, I don't think my uncle will be like this, isn't there a misunderstanding somewhere? "Song Yuwang is also a person who has been in the position for decades, it is impossible to hold a grudge for the unvirtuous of a daughter-in-law to such a point - it is a common person, how can a father-in-law hold a grudge for a daughter-in-law who has been divorced?

is like what Duanmu Xinmiao said: Duanmu was left without color, and it was obviously the Duanmu family that suffered more than the Song family. Moreover, after Song Zaitian married the daughter of the Min family, he was in love and harmony, and gave birth to a son last year, and he lived a peaceful and beautiful life...... No matter how sorry Song Yuwang is, no matter how sorry he is for his son, it is impossible to make such a scene for this matter. No matter how you think about it, there is an inside story.

Duanmu Xinmiao said: "Third sister-in-law, what did you think of, where would my grandfather not think of it?" Before he knelt in the palace, he personally went to Sikong Mansion to be honest with Song Sikong. However, my grandfather is so low-minded, it is said that even if it is the revenge of killing his son, Song Sikong should give a charter, right? However, Song Sikong didn't admit it at all! So, sister-in-law, it's not that I don't help you, I'm also wondering! ”

Wei Changying sighed secretly - since Duanmu Xinmiao couldn't solve this puzzle, and she was not familiar with the rest of the Duanmu family, she could only think from the side.

The two haven't seen each other for a few years, and at this moment, it can't be said that Duanmu Xinmiao can't solve the problem and disperse, so they have to talk about the past.

Wei Changying has been taking care of her children in Xiliang in the past few years, first her niece, then her son, and the others either have nothing to say or it is inconvenient to talk about them in detail. Duanmu Xinmiao's description is simpler - in a word, since she was brought back to the imperial capital from Xiliang by her fourth uncle Duanmu Qin, she has done one thing: preparing for marriage.

"Earlier, when people were undecided, my eldest sister and stepmother repeatedly told me, 'Why don't you learn needlework, why don't you learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, how can you find a good family'." Duanmu Xinmiao confided, "Later, I decided on someone, and I thought to myself that I should be relieved now, right?" As a result, the eldest sister said to her stepmother, "Why don't you learn needlework, why don't you learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so how can you be a virtuous daughter-in-law praised by everyone in the future...... Don't talk about it, it's all tears if you talk too much! ”

Wei Changying laughed out loud when she heard this, and saw that Duanmu Xinmiao's spirit was radiant, and there was no haze that she had not yet left the cabinet because of her age, and that her fiancé had to cancel this kind of thing because of her age, and she was about to catch up with the marriage date, and her fiancé had to cancel this kind of thing, she also quipped: "Sister Ling and Ling Tang are also for your good, as elders, aren't the requirements for daughters-in-law all virtuous?" ”

"I know that too." Duanmu Xinmiao sighed and said, "But third sister-in-law, look at me, do you say that I am the kind of person who can learn to be virtuous and virtuous in the battle to sharpen the gun?" Besides, my eldest sister and stepmother, while letting me learn this and that to please my husband's family, said, 'You don't learn any of this, what if no one can afford you to marry into the Huo family in the future', and on the other hand, she said, 'You can rest assured, Mrs. Gu of the Huo family is a generous person, although your husband is a concubine, but Mrs. Gu was raised like the son of Huo, and this Huo Shenyuan's temperament also followed his mother-in-law, and he was very kind." Which one do you think I should believe? ”

Wei Changying smiled and leaned back, and said, "Sister Ling and Ling Tang are really interesting......

"But I'm better than Gu Rouzhang." Seeing that Wei Changying did not hide her schadenfreude at all, Duanmu Xinmiao glared at her, thought for a moment, but hummed, "Gu Rouzhang came out of the cabinet in October this year, didn't her mother pass away?" Now it was your cousin Su who rushed back to teach her the rules and etiquette she should have before leaving the pavilion - your cousin Su is really a good means, she sees Gu Rouzhang as impenetrable, and can only be detained in the backyard to learn all kinds of skills arranged for her by her sister-in-law. I went back to see her, and I waited for half an hour to meet, and when Gu Rouzhang saw me, she almost threw herself into my arms and cried! ”

Wei Changying smiled and said: "Rouzhang loves to make trouble, my cousin Su is a well-known virtuous person, how can she be harsh?" ”

"Now I'm afraid of the virtuous person you spoke of!" Duanmu Xinmiao said, "As soon as we are a little unsatisfactory, we will immediately pull out the good wives and good mothers in the heavens and the earth as models throughout the ages, and then compare us to nothing!" It boils down to the eternal road of 'if you don't do this, it will be miserable and miserable, and there will be no good end' - don't you say that living a good life will be done? If you want to be virtuous, you are virtuous behind closed doors, so virtuous that everyone knows and everyone knows, forcing everyone to look up to them, isn't this what is a woman in the world?! ”

Wei Changying laughed: "It's okay to say what you said in front of me, if you go outside, Sister Ling and Ling Tang's hard work will be in vain." You're a little bit of a minority! ”

"I know, I know - I showed a little bit of a mouth at my big sister last time, but she talked about it for nearly two hours, and it almost killed me!" Duanmu Xinmiao held his cheeks and groaned.

"You said it for so long, I don't even know who she promised." Wei Changying peeled a grape and handed it to her, and said with a smile.

The Wei family and the imperial capital Gu family have not been married for several generations, and the direct relationship between the Shen family and the imperial capital Gu family is also the generation of Shen Xuan's parents. And Shen Xuan's parents' generation is still tied to the side branch of the Gu family and Gu Yiran. Therefore, although Gu Rouzhang relied on the Shen family to escort Wei Changying to Xiliang's team to Xiliang to follow him, the relationship between the two sides was not so good that Gu Rouzhang went out of the cabinet and asked someone to tell Wei Changying for thousands of miles - if Wei Changying was also in the imperial capital, he would not have to get a post.

Duanmu Xinmiao took the grapes and ate them, and said with a smile: "Who else can it be besides her cousin Pei Xin?" ”
