[Chapter 3, Volume 3]

Section 302 Chapter 171 February

In February, the snow in the imperial capital had not yet melted, and the earth dragon was still burning in the Jintong Temple. The porcelain vase on the high table is inserted with freshly cut plum blossoms, and the cold fragrance is mixed with the warmth, which is pleasant.

Song visited Wei Changying in the empty house, and after sitting down, he looked at his cousin's scarlet placket and wide-sleeved magnolia flower-length skirt, and said highly, "Is it about to give birth?" ”

Wei Changying counted with his fingers and said, "It's eight months now, and there are still some days." ”

Song Zaishui is not married yet, and he doesn't know much about this, so he guessed wrong casually, and said with a smile: "The two months are also very fast, it seems that I have to hurry up next, otherwise the clothes promised to my nephew before will not be able to make a set of clothes for each of the four seasons." ”

"I'm kidding you, cousin!" Wei Changying smiled and said, "You are in charge of the house now, where is there so much effort to do this?" Besides, the aunts and Qin Ge have already done a lot, and my mother has also sent embroidery girls to make several clothes, and I don't think I can wear these clothes at all. ”

Song Zaishui pretended to be surprised and said, "Yo! How can you be so compassionate? What a surprise to me! I thought you were going to say 'what?' Cousin, you're still not done yet! Didn't you promise me a long time ago? How can you repay the little nephew who has not yet been born! Hurry up and go back and do it', I'm ready to make amends for you!" ”

The maids who were waiting nearby all covered their lips and smiled, and Wei Changying embarrassedly took a kumquat and smashed it into her arms: "Cousin is getting worse and worse, when did I say such a thing?" ”

Song Zaishui took out the kumquat from the fold of his skirt and said with a smile: "I am about to become a mother, I don't know how much more considerate and sensible than before." I used to have a headache when I saw you, but now it's not like this, it's really fortunate that my little nephew who hasn't landed yet! must be a well-behaved and considerate person, no, before he was born, let my aunt and I touch his light. ”

"It's clearly cousin, you have a headache in the first place." Wei Changying scolded her, and in order to change the topic, he picked up the embroidered handkerchief that Song Zaishui tucked in the bracelet and said, "Hey, cousin, have you recently learned a new embroidery method?" I don't think it's like what you're used to, but it's not bad. This lion cat fluttering butterfly pattern is quite interesting, it is this lion cat...... Isn't it a little too fat? Where can you catch a butterfly like this? It looks like it's hard to walk, but a model made of snowballs? ”

Song Zaishui said with a smile: "Don't look at its fat, its movements are dexterous and tight, when you went to see me for the first time last year, didn't I have a few parrots there?" ”

Wei Changying smiled and said, "Do you want it to eat one again?" ”

"What's that? After Duanmu returned home colorlessly, my sister-in-law wanted to recuperate, and I took care of the housework, and I didn't pay attention to it, so that there was only one left after it ate! Song Zaishui sighed and said, "I really can't bear to make that green leaf scared anymore, so I exchanged this handkerchief with someone." You also said that the handkerchief was well embroidered, and it seems that I took advantage of it. Not only did he find a place where Cuiye'er couldn't be harmed by snowballs, but he also got benefits. ”

When Wei Changying heard this, he asked, "Isn't this handkerchief embroidered by you, cousin?" Isn't it Deng Wanwan? ”

"Although the crooked embroiderer is good, it is not this way." Song Zaishui smiled meaningfully and said, "Speaking of which, I can get this person's embroidered handkerchief or stain your light." ”

"Huh?"

"The fifth lady of the Su family often goes to look for her cousin, my sister-in-law these days." Song Zaishui said lightly, "These five young ladies are respectful and affectionate to me, Sister Song is long and Sister Song is short...... Once you come and go, you will become familiar. ”

When Wei Changying heard the words "Su Nianchu", her eyebrows jumped, and she first ordered left and right: "You all retreat!" After the scene was cleared, he asked Song Zaishui in a low voice, "How is this Su Nianchu?" Don't hide it from my cousin, I was also at the banquet of Princess Linchuan, Cousin Su pointed at me, and I didn't even say anything, but I didn't mean to point it out to Changfeng! ”

Song Zaishui said: "At first, I thought it was my aunt's meaning!" It wasn't until she pestered me to point out a thing or two in the name of looking for my cousin, and I realized that it wasn't like that. After pondering for a moment, he said, "People are not bad, girls are born well, bright and beautiful, and etiquette is still good...... Is it both the princess and the daughter of the valve! The temperament is very gentle. Speaking from the heart, he's a good guy. ”

"You know Changfeng's situation, cousin, do you think she is suitable?" Wei Changying asked.

Song Zaishui thought for a while, and then said: "This is really hard to say, this Su Nianchu, it can be seen that he is also very favored at home, it is inevitable that he is a little squeamish, and he is not a shrewd or scheming person." It's just that she has one advantage, that is, she is willing to learn and change. I think it may be that the fairy princess and the concubine really want to get married? I don't know how much she can learn now. What's more, the person who went to Fengzhou to deliver the message hasn't returned yet, and I don't know when she will pass the door. ”

Wei Changying frowned and said, "It's not that I'm critical of her, it's just that ......" lowered his voice, "My mother's second aunt is gone, do you think Changfeng and the second uncle can still give up in the future?" Even if the second uncle is willing, the cousins under the second uncle's knees will not agree! Can an ordinary virtuous lady cope with such a situation? ”

"Not necessarily." Song Zaishui snorted and said, "For example, I was given to that one because I was a child, so my grandmother has always taught me according to the requirements of my mother's world, and since I was a child, I never thought that I would be able to be a couple with my husband for the rest of my life - after all, my grandmother has always taught me that I should have the bearing to accommodate seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards, and this is also for my good!" But if I didn't have that gold-inlaid jade Ruyi, I think my grandmother would have hurt me as much as my aunt and grandmother loved you, and even if I wasn't as difficult as you used to be, I wouldn't have been too knowledgeable. ”

And he said, "If you were me, and I was taught and raised by my grandmother, you would have been like me." Although she is not a quasi-princess now, the so-called nature of the country is easy to change, and her temperament has been cultivated, so it is like this. ”

Wei Changying said: "What my cousin said makes sense, when you are stable, you look at pampered people, and when you are in danger, you may not be able to take on things." But this is only possible, Su Nianchu is unknown in the future, but I only have one brother. ”

Song Zaishui pursed his lips and said, "We are cousins, but Su Nianchu is still an outsider to us now." Am I going to help you and Changfeng instead of her? But you see, now that the holy decree has been issued, it's not that I don't have a backache when I stand and talk, but I am also extremely hesitant about my previous family affairs. However, Su Nianchu is not as good as that one, I think this girl is very attentive to learning things, whether it is ordered by her parents, or she admires Changfeng's literary talent, she will not be unable to take on things in the future...... If you think about the benefits, your aunt and aunt are both capable people, as long as she is willing to learn, are you afraid that you will not be able to teach her well? ”

Thinking of her grandmother and mother, Wei Changying inexplicably felt a little more relaxed, and sighed with a complicated feeling: "Before I left the cabinet, I was always worried that I would meet a rude sister-in-law, so I wanted to be more sympathetic when I was someone else's sister-in-law." I don't want my sister-in-law and sister-in-law to be very good to me, but I find fault with my brother and daughter-in-law who haven't offended me. ”

"You are different from Su Nianchu." Song Zaishui said disapprerovingly, "Changfeng's status has not yet been clarified, and the opponent is your uncle, and it is a little difficult for Changfeng to talk about seniority, so it is right for his aunt and aunt to choose a wife who can assist him and the family can also help." Not only for the good of Changfeng, but also for the good of his future wife and children. But Shen Yaoye's status in the clan was determined before you passed through the door, and I will say something unpleasant, your status in the Shen family was obtained because of him, such as Pei Meiniang's surrender before. No matter how capable you are, that's it, you can't do it, as long as there are no big mistakes, Shen Yaoye will take over Ming Peitang, and you will be the head of the Shen family. So as long as you're not too confused. ”

Wei Changying couldn't help but say, "Where is it so easy for your cousin?" Mingpeitang is not monolithic, Xiliang ......" she sighed and said, "Mother has been reminding me to be smarter, don't drag down my husband!" ”

Song Zaishui snorted slightly: "Look, isn't this the same mood as you are now?" Anyway, it seems to me that you are just in the prime of life, and you are assisted by Xiang Ningbo, and Shen Yaoye's position is stable! Unless he made a big mistake, Ming Peitang would definitely be in charge of him. He took over Ming Peitang, your yuan is not a wife, who is in charge? But Mrs. Su is Shen Yaoye's mother, so she naturally hopes that you can worry about Shen Yaoye. ”

Although Song Zaishui said that Su Nianchu may not be able to become a person suitable for Wei Changfeng, but it is a lifelong event related to his only younger brother, and Wei Changying still feels a little upset. However, she had no other way than to write a letter to Fengzhou. I didn't want to continue the topic along the way, so I changed the topic and talked about the Song family: "It's been almost a year since I arrived in the imperial capital, and I haven't seen my uncle yet." ”

When she went to visit Sikong Mansion last year when she was newly married and had a full moon, because it didn't happen to be a day off, Song Yuwang was on duty in the palace, and her uncle and nephew missed it like this. Later, I was busy with various things and didn't go back, and then I found out that I was pregnant, and it took many days to protect the baby. When it comes to the New Year's Festival, the fetus is stable, and it is time to walk around and visit...... But the second aunt of the mother's family died of illness again.

I put on filial piety in the first month, of course, it is not good to go to relatives. So Wei Changying has never seen this only uncle until now, and I really don't know whether to laugh or be full of emotion when I think about it.

Song Zaishui said: "Hengzhu, you are now in the imperial capital, and there will always be a time to see it in the future." Not to mention the side, my little nephew's happy wine, my father has to come to drink it, and he wants to come and see it. ”

Since Song Yuwang was mentioned, Wei Changying asked Huo Shi again: "Is the eldest cousin okay now?" ”

"It's not all right, and I still have to take care of some things, but I can get up and start taking care of things." Song Zaishui said lightly, "She is a smart person, and it is easy to get along." ”

Wei Changying smiled and said: "This is because cousin, you are smarter, if you change me, I will have a headache with such a sister-in-law." ”

Song Zaishui said: "If you have a half-brother and marry my sister-in-law, she will definitely treat you as her own sister!" Just to her aunt and aunt, she is going to do the same. ”

"The second cousin has retired from that end of the wood, is there a suitable candidate now?" Wei Changying thought of the early death of his aunt, and Song Zaishui had also lamented the helplessness of not having the protection of his biological mother several times before, so he changed his words again.

Before the words fell, I saw Song Zaishui smile incomprehensibly and said, "Guess? ”
