Chapter 189: Mrs. Gu
When I first heard that Mrs. Zhenyi was seriously ill, Wei Changying felt a little uneasy in her heart, but Princess Lingxian invited her to no avail, and she couldn't get in touch with Princess Anji, so she had to wait and see what happened.
In a few days, Song Zaishui sent someone to invite her to come over to talk about it.
Not two days after Shen Shuguang's full moon, Mrs. Su personally sent a message to Wei Changying to take care of the housekeeper, although the Taifu family has a big business, it is impossible to 'hand' it all over to Wei Changying at once, but Wei Changying will also be very busy.
But Song Zaishui's personality is the most compassionate. How could she not know that her current situation is difficult to 'withdraw'? In this way, they all sent people to invite, and they couldn't tell why their eldest lady wanted to invite her cousin over, maybe there was really something big? Wei Changying thought about it and decided to 'take time' to go, so he went to ask Mrs. Su: "Since I arrived in the imperial capital, I haven't seen my uncle in person, and now my cousin has sent someone to invite, I don't know if my uncle has time to discuss, or if I have something else to discuss, I implore my mother to let my daughter-in-law go over to investigate." ”
Mrs. Su is very fond of her because she gave birth to a male grandson, so she agreed: "This is as it should be, but our family has a lot of things, and you still have to come back on the same day when you go." ”
"What my mother said is that my daughter-in-law will not dare to delay." Wei Changying breathed a sigh of relief and said.
When he arrived at Song's house like this, Song Zaishui personally came out to greet him, and without taking two steps, he ordered the left and right to step back, so as not to hinder the two sisters from talking, seeing this situation, Wei Changying thought that his cousin really had something to say - but after Song Zaishui and the others retreated, he looked at her with a smile, and asked idly: "Why did you offend the Huo family?" Do you know that I am looking for you today because of my sister-in-law's request? ”
Wei Changying was taken aback, and immediately thought of Huo Zhao's 'jade' matter, and immediately became nervous, and said, "Did the palace send someone to the Huo family to ask?" ”
Song Zaishui was also stunned for a moment, and said, "In the palace? What's going on? Tell me about it! ”
After listening to what happened, Song Zaishui frowned and said, "You are really, you will recommend people without telling the Huo family, and now it is difficult for the Huo family to ride a tiger, and it is not a ...... to agree It's no wonder that the Huo family wants to find you a theory! ”
"But how did the Huo family know?" Wei Changying was a little puzzled, "There was no third person next to me when I told Princess Anji!" ”
"Maybe it's Princess Angie herself?" Song Zaishui disagreed, and said, "This princess has told you clearly, she helped you before and also watched Princess Linchuan help you speak, which is unusual, thinking that there is something good to help." But I didn't expect you to know why Princess Linchuan wanted to help you, so you retreated to get some benefits...... What do you think she's going to keep for you? Do you think that neither she nor Mrs. Zhenyi can have a sacred heart, and it is difficult to protect themselves, let alone what to do for you? ”
Wei Changying sighed and said, "I really can't help the Huo family in this matter, but now that the situation is like this, what should I do?" ”
Song Zaishui said idly: "Anyway, the Huo family can't eat you, so you can make amends." Then he sighed, "What are you frustrated about?" It's me who should be frustrated. The Huo family came from my sister-in-law, I can't say it, it's impossible for me to push it because of the difference in the round today, this matter has nothing to do with me, but I have to help you make amends and laugh! ”
Then he said to her, "Little one who has no conscience, you will not take my nephew with you when you come, so that I will be happy to see him." ”
"Where can I get him out?" Wei Changying heard that his son was in a better mood, and said, "I heard that I was going to come to you today, and my mother-in-law said that it was not good for no one to preside over in Jintong Courtyard, so she immediately asked someone to carry her to the upper room." ”
Song Zaishui said with a smile: "Why can you come as soon as I send someone?" A person who is a daughter-in-law is so free when there is a mother-in-law above! It turns out that you are a mother and a son. ”
"It's kind of like that." Wei Changying did not deny it, and said, "Since Guang'er landed, my mother has treated me a lot better. Even the two sisters-in-law are not as picky as before. Like today, I left the matter and came to you, and before that, even if the mother was approved, the sisters-in-law would definitely have to talk. As soon as the mother agrees today, they are far from being as amiable as before, and they are not as sour as before. ”
Song Zaishui smiled and said, "I heard that your mother-in-law recently intended to ask you to take care of the house alone, and now they probably wish you came out often, so that they can take care of a few more things!" ”
Speaking of this, they also arrived at the big room, and the two entered the 'door', and sure enough, they saw that there were traces of clearing the scene inside, leaving only a few capable and credible ambassador 'women' to serve around them, and the eldest lady Huo was talking with a 'woman' in a fancy dress. There is also a young 'woman' in colorful clothes sitting at the head of this 'woman', but this young 'woman' Wei Changying recognizes that it is Huo Qingling, the young lady of the Huo family who has met twice before.
Huo Qingling followed, and he knew that he was the elder of the Huo family without asking.
Wei Changying's heart is tight, and this will be a little cramped. Huo's and the 'woman' in the fancy clothes were polite - Huo's introduced the 'woman' as his maiden aunt Gu: "Speaking of which, my aunt's room is still a little related to Sister Wei's mother's family, but Sister Wei didn't know that she had just arrived in the imperial capital?" ”
"I'm very lonely, and I still ask Sister-in-law Huo for advice?" Wei Changying asked cautiously.
Huo Shi smiled and said: "The second son of my eldest aunt who grew up under her knees, my cousin named Shen Yuan has been studying under the 'door' of Lord Situ since he was a child. ”
"It turns out that Huo Ergongzi is an uncle and grandfather." Wei Changying is a little embarrassed when he calculates this - how to call it like this? From Shen Zangfeng's side, he and Huo Shenyuan are equals, but now according to Wei Yu's side, isn't he going to call Huo Shenyuan the uncle of the Huo family? The Huo family in front of him and Mrs. Gu ......
Fortunately, Mrs. Gu answered the round with kindness and said humbly: "The dog is stubborn, fortunately, Lord Lai Situ does not think that his qualifications are unbearable, and he will be admitted to the 'door' court, and sooner or later he will have to listen to the teachings." ”
"Mrs. Gu, you are too polite, Chang Ying once met the two sons of your family with her humble husband, and they are both virtuous and gentle people, such as the Zhilan 'jade' tree." Wei Changying wanted to compliment himself.
After the politeness of you coming and going, Huo Qingling suddenly mentioned the parrots that Song raised in the Pujia Pavilion in Shui, and the implication was to wait for Song Zaishui to invite and accompany her to watch.
With such an obvious plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, Song Zaishui would not be fooled, and called the ambassador's 'female', 'spring' and summer scenery with a smile, and said affectionately: "If this is someone else, I will definitely accompany me in person, but Sister Huo, you are my sister-in-law's cousin, but you are not an outsider, and I will not be polite to you, just be casual in my yard." ”
He smiled and said, "This is the first time I have seen Mrs. Gu, and I have long heard of Mrs. Gu's virtuous reputation, but Mrs. Gu is busy and refuses to come to the house as a guest when she is free. Snub Sister Huo's place, and let me go back and make amends. ”
She said this, Mrs. Gu, Huo's family, and Huo Qingling only needed to say that she was too polite - Huo Qingling failed to lure her away, and 'Spring' Jing and Xia Jing respectfully invited her, but they had to leave......
When Mrs. Gu saw that she would definitely help Wei Changying, and Miss Song, who was recognized as a 'shrewd' and powerful lady, she didn't do it, and she didn't go around in circles: "The day before yesterday, Princess Lingxian was summoned to the palace, and after returning to the house, she ordered the princess's mansion to go to our house and mention a marriage......
Wei Changying hurriedly sat upright, racking his brains for a while to think about how to make amends so that the Huo family could dissipate his anger - Mrs. Gu paused for a moment and replied: "My family didn't know at first, so, the dog is mediocre, how can he get into the eyes of the palace?" Later, the second son Shen Yuan mentioned the matter, saying that it might be related to Mrs. Wei, and it was related to the dog's life, so our family had to come to ask Mrs. about it, and I hope Mrs. will not be surprised. ”
"Mrs. Gu is serious, speaking of which, Chang Ying has done a good job of Meng 'Lang'." Wei Chang Ying's face was flushed.
She didn't know how to 'hand' over to the Huo family, but Song Zaishui was vigilant and asked on her behalf: "Mrs. Gu, I don't know what the second son of your family said?" ”
Mrs. Gu smiled faintly and said: "Speaking of which, Shen Yuan is also rude, this is the case - last year, the county lord of Chengxian came out of the cabinet, because the county lord was the granddaughter of Lord Situ, Shen Yuan also wanted to go to the Runwang Mansion to congratulate him." However, he was not good at talking, and he did not like to be lively, so he took the opportunity to go to the 'flower' garden and avoid people in the trees by the lake. Unawareness...... Soon after, Her Royal Highness Princess Anji and Madame Wei went to the tree to talk. Because Her Royal Highness the Princess and Mrs. Wei did not bring their 'attendants', Shen Yuan was worried that he would be misunderstood, so he didn't dare to speak out, and waited for the two of them to leave before he got off the tree. ”
“……”
There was a silence in the hall, and Song Zaishui looked at Wei Changying very sympathetically: This is really a matter of not knowing unless you do it. I also know that Princess Anji and Wei Changying threw off their 'attendants' and ran to the lake to talk, just to avoid people's eyes. It's just that they picked and picked under the tree where Huo Shenyuan avoided people, but they actually said something related to the Huo family......
Well, now I know that Princess Anji probably didn't sell Wei Changying.
However, Her Royal Highness the Princess's words may still be able to refute the words that Huo Shenyuan overheard...... Even Song Zaishui couldn't think of what Wei Changying could do except make amends and accept punishment?
Wei Changying smiled awkwardly and far-fetched, and he didn't know what to say at all.
Fortunately, Mrs. Gu continued: "Shen Yuan said that at that time, Her Royal Highness Princess Anji entrusted the selection of the concubine to Mrs. Wei to inquire for her, so as not to entrust it to someone else. And Mrs. Wei said that compared with the requirements of Her Royal Highness the Princess, she thought that there was one person who was extremely suitable. Listening to Shen Yuan, Her Royal Highness the princess trusted Mrs. Wei very much...... Now that the palace has entrusted Princess Lingxian to ask our family, dare to ask Mrs. Wei, the dog is recommended by Mrs. Wei? ”
Wei Changying nodded with a red face, and said: "This matter is Chang Ying's fault, but Madam has a punishment, Chang Ying is willing to accept it, and there is no complaint." ”
She recognized it so happily, Mrs. Gu couldn't say anything for a while, and after a pause, she said: "Her Royal Highness the princess, the golden branch 'jade' leaves, the dog is unbearable, how can it match?" ”
Wei Changying was speechless, so he had to say: "Changying knows his mistakes and knows his guilt." ”
Mrs. Gu burst into tears and said, "Our family has no intention of blaming Mrs. Wei, but the dog can't match Her Royal Highness the princess, and now the royal family actually mentions marriage, so what's the matter?" ”
Although it is said that the Valve-reading family is deeply rooted in the country, the heavenly family is the heavenly family after all. In the Jin Dynasty, the folk tasted the nursery rhyme of "the king and the horse, share the world", which shows that the Wang family was powerful at that time. But after Princess Xin'an's concubine Huan Ji was abolished from the position of concubine, he 'wanted' King Shang to offer it. At that time, Wang Xianzhi and his wife Xi Daomao were in deep love, and in order to refuse this 'door' marriage, they did not hesitate to burn their feet with wormwood, so that they suffered from foot disease all year round - but they were still forced to abandon the lord of Xi Daomao.
Now the power of the Huo family is not as powerful as the Wang family, and the saint is not the eleventh year old Emperor Xiaowu at that time, since the fairy princess who is related to the Huo family is asked, how dare the Huo family refuse? Even if you dare to refuse...... Could it be that Song Zaishui learned from Song and asked Huo Zhao's 'jade' to give himself a few knives in the face? Where is Mrs. Gu willing to go.
What's more, even if you go out and refuse...... Song Zaishui is an example, this eldest lady is recognized by all the families as capable and generous, but now they are in their two decades, and their lifelong events are still not settled. This is also the only 'daughter' in the family, and she is a descendant, and her father and brother are loving, otherwise it would be pitiful enough to stay in her mother's house. Huo Zhao 'Yu' maybe don't worry about not being able to marry a wife, it's a big deal to marry low, the question is what about his future?
Seeing that Wei Changying had nothing to say, Song Zaishui sighed in his heart and said, "Mrs. Gu, this matter is because my cousin is young and ignorant, and she is not thoughtful enough to think about things, so that Ling Lang is involved. However, now that the mistake has been cast, my cousin is also remorseful in her heart, but I hope to make up for your family. ”
The matter is here, and Wei Changying did not admit it...... You didn't find the 'door' of the Shen family, but asked my Song family to invite her over, obviously you didn't want to make a big deal out of it. Now you can say what you want to make up for!
