Chapter 19: Clues
[Chapter 5, Volume 5]
Section 496
"The lord of Song and his sister-in-law are very worried when they hear that Brother Song has been unable to get up so far." Wei Sheng He said, "It just so happens that our family is also planning to come to the imperial capital to discuss the day of welcoming the Su family, so we simply left early and went to visit the Song lord and sister-in-law on behalf of the Song lord, so that we can send someone back to report in detail, so as to appease the hearts of the Song lord and the sister-in-law." ”
Wei Shengxian and Wei Changying glanced at each other and sighed: "Huaqing's situation has really not been good recently, and even in Xinjiang it seems to be a lot haggard recently. "Huaqing is Song Yuwang's word.
"It's not just that." Wei Shenghe groaned, "Jiang Nantang is still in the filial piety of Old Lady Wei, so the Lord of the Song Dynasty can only send his servants to the imperial capital to visit Brother Song Shi, but the people who have not been able to see Brother Song Shi several times in a row, including the old man who has served in front of the Lord Song for many years. According to his nephew Zaitian, Brother Song is not in good health and in a bad mood now, so he doesn't want to see anyone. Lord Song was very worried, so he wrote to his sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law entrusted me with this matter. ”
Wei Shengxian groaned: "Cousin-in-law Wei went early, Huaqing didn't continue the string, and it was not convenient for me to visit in person, but Chang Ying, I went to Sikong Mansion when I came back from Xiliang." ”
"My niece didn't get to see my uncle." Wei Changying said, "It was the eldest cousin who came out to receive him." However, the eldest cousin's words revealed a layer of meaning: the uncle seemed to hate the Duanmu family very much, and even the Taishi offered to take Miss Duanmu Ba to diagnose his uncle, but he resolutely refused. Not only that, but because of the Duanmu family, my uncle even refused to seek medical treatment because of Miss Duanmuba's master, Dr. Ji Shen...... Because of this, the niece and Yao Ye pondered repeatedly, but they couldn't figure it out. ”
"Is this the case?" Wei Shengxian and Wei Shenghe were both very surprised, and after thinking for a while, Wei Shenghe asked Wei Shengxian suspiciously, "Brother Song and the Duanmu family...... I don't think I've heard of such a big feud, right? ”
Wei Shengxian said helplessly: "I haven't heard of it either." ”
Wei Changying said: "My niece only married to the imperial capital a few years ago, but Yao Ye was born and raised in the imperial capital, and he didn't hear of it. Later, I asked my mother-in-law on the side, but my mother-in-law was also confused. And Duanmu Wuse, the wife of Song's second cousin, was the daughter of the Duanmu family, although Duanmu Wuse was a loss of women's morality and was divorced back to his parents' house, but obviously the relationship between his uncle and Duanmu was good, otherwise why would he hire Duanmu Wuse as his wife for Song's second cousin? ”
The three of them looked at each other for a while, and Song Ruxuan, who had never spoken before and was sitting next to her, thought about it and said softly: "Uncle Song Hugh Duanmu is colorless but a little weird, maybe Uncle Song didn't like the Duanmu family at that time?" ”
"But in those days, except for Duanmu Colorless, I didn't hear that Duanmu's family had a place to offend my uncle." Wei Changying said in embarrassment, "Actually, because Duanmu is colorless and unvirtuous, before being divorced, he provoked the anger of his uncle and cousin several times, and he was driven back to his parents' house by his cousin more than once, so in order to intercede and round her up, Duanmu's family has always been very polite to her uncle." ”
The daughter is not angry, and the lintel of the Song family does not need to look at the face of the Duanmu family, and the Duanmu family will not compensate the in-laws with a little smile, isn't this death? In fact, Duanmu was suspended until the Huo family, Song Zaishui and Pei Meiniang joined forces, and it was also because her parents and brothers had always given the Song family a smile, otherwise according to her arrogant and jealous energy, she would have been returned to her parents' house by the Huo family alone a few years earlier.
Wei Sheng He pondered for a moment and asked, "I don't know very well what happened to Duanmu Colorless and being suspended, Chang Ying, you can tell me about it." ”
"This thing is like this: at that time, my younger sister Pei Shi had just passed the door, and as a result, she put a lot of anger at home, and my mother-in-law was angry......" Wei Changying briefly said what happened, Song Zaishui's tandem behind the scenes is of course inconvenient to tell the elders, especially Wei Shenghe, who is not too familiar, so she just described the appearance of the matter, but she didn't mention anything about the inside story.
But Rao is like this, Wei Shenghe also said lightly after listening to it: "My nephew's wife in Xinjiang is so virtuous." The meaning of these words is obviously to see that the Huo family has a share in Duanmu Colorless.
Although Wei Shengxian also saw Huo's actions, as a woman, she had been excluded by her husband's family for many years because she had no children, but she could understand Huo's pain as the eldest sister-in-law, who was arrogant and domineering and targeted at her everywhere, but was more inclined to Duanmu Colorless, so she said: "I heard that Duanmu Colorless has been very unvirtuous since he passed through the door, especially since he is the daughter of the valve, and he can't get along with the eldest sister-in-law several times." At the beginning, Huo's careless miscarriage, Duanmu Colorless not only showed compassion for his sister-in-law, but even mocked him face-to-face many times, making Huo's face wash his face with tears day and night. ”
"Hmm, what else is going on?" Wei Shenghe was surprised, "Could it be this Huo's miscarriage?" ”
"Probably not." Wei Changying heard a lot from Song Zaishui about these two cousins-in-law, one of whom was already a former cousin-in-law, and she also knew the reason for the Huo's miscarriage in the year she first married in the imperial capital, which was personally checked by Song Zaishui, and it was proved that it was not Duanmu's colorless hand. Otherwise, Song Zaishui would not let her go back to her parents' house easily, and he would definitely not spare her.
So at this moment, I just said that I knew them, "Cousin-in-law Huo's miscarriage was because she had a sick illness in the boudoir once she came, and she passed the door before she got better, and she didn't know that she had a secret loss in her body, so after she was pregnant, the fetal image was not very stable; Second, Huo's cousin-in-law was angry with Duanmu Colorless at that time, and refused to easily let Duanmu Colorless take care of the housework, thinking that it would be handed over to Duanmu Colorless after the month was older. As a result, his weak body and hard work led to the loss of his child. ”
These words were said by Song Zaishui, which is relatively fair. If it was Huo's words, it must have been Duanmu Wuse who saw that she was pregnant and intended to seize power, which caused Huo's to hold on to the housekeeper's power, resulting in the child being dropped.
And from Song Zaishui's point of view, Duanmu is colorless and unvirtuous, but Huo himself is also confused, and he is disproportionate by Duanmu Wuse's consistent provocation. Knowing that her fetus is unstable, she doesn't want to let go of everything to keep the fetus safe, and she still thinks about not being divided by the concubine - as the eldest sister-in-law, even if Duanmu Wuse is temporarily in charge of the family because of the things of fetal security and confinement production, are you still afraid that there is no chance to take back the authority?
Even if Duanmu Wuse took advantage of the housekeeper's time to do things from the public account, it was really nothing compared to his own flesh and blood. Duanmu is colorless, can it still empty the Sikong Mansion? Taking 10,000 steps back, she really emptied the Sikong Mansion, but the Song family's heritage is in Jiangnan Hall.
Song Zaishui, as the opinion of the family of these two husbands, thinks that Song Yuwang will think the same.
Then Song Yuwang's idea of killing the heirs of the Song family because of Duanmu Colorless and angering the entire Duanmu family cannot be established.
Song Ruxuan thought for a while, and then asked, "Cousin Wei, according to what you said, this end of the wood is colorless. Zi is the easiest to offend people, but I don't know that except for Sister-in-law Huo, did she anger Uncle Song when she was in the Song family? ”
"Uncle Song?" Wei Changying pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I haven't heard of this. Uncle Wei passed away early, and my uncle has never been in charge of the backyard affairs, except for the New Year's ceremony, he usually doesn't meet his cousins. ”
No matter how much they thought about it, they couldn't think of anything.
So in Wei Shengxian's house, this investigation ended in vain.
However, when Wei Zhengyin was at Wei Zhengyin's place, Wei Zhengyin reminded: "Chang Ying came over to talk about this before, and I also felt confused, but I remembered it in the past few days: Cousin Song has a deep affection for the late Cousin Wei, and even the bush of plantains that Cousin Wei personally eradicated before her death, so as not to let him see things and think about people, have been replanted. Isn't Duanmu colorless rude to the deceased, which makes Cousin Song hate? ”
These words made Wei Shenghe and Wei Changying both wake up from a dream, and they all thought about this possibility.
Wei Zhengyin said again, "Cousin Song's personality is very generous. Ordinary grievances, it is absolutely impossible to keep grudges all the time. Only when it comes to Cousin Wei's sister-in-law, Cousin Song is a bargain. ”
"It's just that my cousin and aunt have passed away a long time ago, and Duanmu is colorless and dignified, how can you be rude to her?" Wei Changying was puzzled.
Wei Shenghe thought that this kind of inference was more likely, and said: "Since this woman is not virtuous, it is not strange that she has no respect for her elders and despises the deceased. ”
It is estimated that Duanmu Wuse offended Song Yuwang, but how to enlighten it next is a problem.
Because Song Yuwang clearly inherited the Song family's love habits that appeared from time to time, and he was bitter about his deceased wife, Duan Huigong and his wife didn't know how many ways they had thought of. If you can make him relieved, you don't have to wait for Wei Shenghe to come. Thinking of this, Wei Shenghe felt that Song Yuwang really had a grudge against the Duanmu family, but it was better to explain it......
After hesitating for a long time, Wei Shenghe still had to go on this trip.
And Wei Changying finally waited for the news of Duanmu Xinmiao - the next day after she came back from Wei Shengxian's mansion that day, she took Shen Shuguang as a puppet and invited Duanmu Xinmiao to come over the mansion for a while, and took advantage of the situation to show her the pulse case. It's just that there are so many veins in that stack that Chenguang can't finish it in an afternoon, let alone give a diagnosis and treatment.
Therefore, Wei Chang Yingqian instructed Duanmu Xinmiao to keep it secret, so she took it back for consideration.
Duanmu Xinmiao came over this day, one returned the pulse, and the other said her opinion: "The injury of the Lord of the Guardian is actually not very serious, but it is not possible to rely on medicine alone, and it must be supplemented by massage." ”
Wei Changying asked: "I don't know this method of massage? ”
"It doesn't make sense in a few words, but there is a ready-made person who is well trained." Duanmu Xinmiao said, "You just bring the Zhu Shi that I gave me." ”
Wei Changying breathed a sigh of relief, and confirmed: "Can it be good?" ”
"Naturally, it can be good." Duanmu Xinmiao said a little unhappily, "Why, don't worry about me, you have to nod my master to believe it?" ”
"Nothing." Of course, Wei Changying didn't admit it, and said with a smile, "I just thought that my grandfather's injury had dragged on for a month, and I was worried. ”
Duanmu Xinmiao's face eased at this time, and said, "By the way, Zhu Shi is also a little old, I originally planned to find a reliable steward for her in Duanmu's house." But now that she is going to Fengzhou, when this war is in chaos, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return again......"
Wei Changying hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will write to my grandmother to find a good one for her." She was feeling that Duanmu Xinmiao had affection and righteousness for Zhu Shi, but Duanmu Xinmiao made a straight face and said, "Third sister-in-law, where do you want to go?" I mean, you gave me two clever maids, and now that Zhu Shi is gone, there is only one Zhu Yan left to serve me, this person is not enough, right? ”
"......" Wei Changying choked for a long time before he said slightly angrily, "Why is the Duanmu family still lacking the person you called you?!" ”
Duanmu Xinmiao squinted at her and didn't speak.
Wei Changying looked at her for a moment, but she couldn't hold up this guy's face, and sighed: "Forget it, for the sake of the upcoming New Year, I won't care about you!" "In the end, I took a pair of jade bracelets, and then I sent Duanmu Xinmiao away.
