[Chapter 3, Volume 3]

Section 153

The next day, Huang went out before noon and went to the east of the city to visit Ji Quai. Shen Zangfeng entered the palace as usual, and Wei Changying had nothing to do, so he asked someone to take a closer look at the male and female swords given by Shen Xuan on the day of the tea ceremony.

This female and male sword style is generally the same, except that the female sword is thinner and shorter, which is more suitable for women. They are all unpretentious, very different from the luxurious and graceful appearance of "Killing Hu", not to mention the hilt of the sword, even the scabbard is only wrapped in shark skin, and the appearance is not good at all.

Of course, what Shen Xuan sent out was a suiless martial sword, and Wei Changying pulled out the female sword, but it was a dark and heavy sword edge, unlike the sword like "Killing Hu", which was overflowing with cold light when it left the sheath, just looking at the appearance, it was very inconspicuous. Wei Changying was not disappointed, the Shen family used martial arts to inherit the family and collect weapons, just like the Wei family collected the authentic classics, which was not of a certain grade, and it was tiring to be collected in the warehouse. How can a gift for a son and bride with high hopes be ordinary, even if it looks ordinary?

When she looked closer, she saw that the spine of the sword was covered with diamond patterns as fine as fish scales, and near the hilt of the sword, there was a full moon carved in the size of a grain of rice.

Speculating that this should be the name of the sword, Wei Changying looked at the sword again, and sure enough, the word "Hua Hao" was engraved in a similar position. The metaphor of the full moon is also auspicious, but it is ...... Wei Changying looked at it over and over for a long time, but he didn't see that in addition to the name of the sword, there were any marks on the male and female swords that could be stained with the full moon and the like.

Belch...... Maybe it's because the father-in-law wants to use this pair of swords as a wedding gift, and he is temporarily looking for someone to engrave the names of these two auspicious blessings?

Wei Changying thought a little crying and laughing.

was fiddling with two swords, and Zhu Yan outside said in a crisp voice: "Young lady, the steward in the front yard sent fish to the door, now call them in?" ”

"Fish?" Wei Changying was stunned for a moment before remembering that the small pond in the southeast corner of the outside, Wan had said that he could raise some carp or goldfish for ornamentation, Shen Zangfeng didn't care which one to raise, let her make her own decisions, Wei Changying chose goldfish - the rules of the Shen family, when the wife enters the door, the newlyweds will be given a courtyard, and the renovation cost of the entire courtyard will be paid by the public middle school as long as it is not too excessive.

Therefore, after she chose to stock some goldfish, she didn't have to send someone out to buy it herself, as long as she sent someone to talk to the chief manager, and the chief manager would send someone to do it. When I heard that the steward in the front yard had sent it over, Wei Changying ordered: "Tell them to move in, and ask Aunt He to watch it." ”

After a while, Wei Changying heard He's greeting with people through the window, and after a while, the court was quiet again, and He came in to report: "The steward personally put the fish into the pond, a total of twenty goldfish, and the steward said that he wished the prince and the young lady perfect." The maid saw that the twenty goldfish, ten golden and ten red, were all lively and strong, and they swam away as soon as they got out of the water, looking for the water lily under the leaves. ”

Wei Changying nodded and said: "The pool is as clear as the sky, and there are water lilies planted in it, so it is necessary to raise such a brightly colored goldfish to look good." If it's black or white, it's not eye-catching enough. ”

He Shi said again: "The maid took a few purses with them. ”

"That's as it should be." Wei Changying said, "It's good for my aunt to call the shots about these things." ”

He was about to retire, and looked at the little maids outside, but Wan, who had always been steady, suddenly rushed in, hurriedly saluted, and hurriedly said: "Young lady, someone came from the second room, saying that the second young lady had a big quarrel with the second son for the matter of green warp." Now that the Taifu, Madame, the eldest son, and the third prince are not here, the eldest young lady has sent someone to the front yard to call the fifth and sixth sons—and ask the young lady to come over and persuade them! ”

Wei Changying was taken aback and said, "The second sister-in-law is back?" ”

"Oh, isn't it?" Wan Shi sighed, "Madame specially asked the second young lady to come back to deal with the matter of Lu Qiao, and if you don't want to, you can ...... The young lady went over first, I heard that the noisy garden was very fierce, but don't have an accident. ”

Wei Changying saw that she was in a hurry, although she didn't care much about the second room, but everyone in the family went to persuade her, and she was not good at falling behind. Fortunately, the dresses are all new in the newlyweds, and there is no need to deliberately change them when they go out.

When I arrived at the gate of Jintong Courtyard, I saw that the maid sent by the second room to report for help was waiting, and when she saw Wei Changying, her eyes turned red before she spoke, and said, "The third young lady, please come with the maid." ”

followed the maid who was almost trotting all the way to the Flower Garden, and before she entered, she heard the persuasion of the fifth son, Shen Zangji, and the sixth son, Shen Yongkun: "Second brother, calm down, calm down!" ”

"The second sister-in-law has always been virtuous and dignified, since she wants to sell Luqiao, there must be a reason, why don't the second brother calm down and listen to the second sister-in-law talk about the reason?"

There seems to be Liu's voice comforting Duanmu in the middle...... I didn't expect that I was in a hurry or came the latest, Wei Changying couldn't help but have a headache, and when she entered the door hard, she saw that the courtyard was a mess - Shen Yong's face was red, and he was excitedly held down by Shen Zangji and Shen Yongkun holding down one by one by his waist and one by his shoulder; Duanmu also wore a haggard look and was held in Liu's arms.

There was also a hosta broken in two at the feet of the two concubines, I don't know if it was broken by falling in the dispute, or it was deliberately broken.

A large group of servants were at a loss, some standing under the porch and some standing in the court, all embarrassed and embarrassed and did not know where to put their hands and feet......

There were also several people who knelt on the ground tremblingly, and among them was a woman of eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed neatly, but wearing only one shoe, and one barefoot, covered with mud, and the head was bowed, covering her face with a handkerchief and weeping.

At the same time that Wei Changying stepped into the courtyard gate, Shen Yongshi struggled to point at Duanmu and scolded: "You slut ......"

Shen Zangji smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand to cover his mouth: "Second brother, can you talk well?" Now that there are so many people, let's go to the house and say, okay? ”

Duanmu and Shen Yongshi are right, this sister-in-law has been in the door for eight years, and she has served Aunt Weng very hard, and she is often praised by the elders. Although he has no children under his knees, he also gave birth to two concubines, and the concubine also gave birth to a concubine, among which the youngest daughter Shen Shuyan is still a prodigy in the imperial capital, and she has a virtuous name in the Shen family and the imperial capital.

Besides, the so-called face-to-face training of his wife behind his back, Shen Yongshi's move spread and made others talk about his being too ruthless to his wife, a serious match, and he didn't give any dignity......

The sixth son, Shen Yongkun, also pushed his brother into the house: "Second brother, you are confused now, go into the house to drink tea." also let the second sister-in-law freshen up and clean up. ”

Wei Changying walked to Liu's side, and asked quietly at a loss: "Sister-in-law, ...... second sister-in-law?" ”

"Both of them are in a hurry, so why bother?" It was inconvenient for Liu to say more, so he gave a look, helped Duanmu and whispered, "Second brother and sister, let's go to the back to freshen up, wait for the second brother to drink tea, and then talk to him slowly." Your personality is in the eyes of our family, how can you harm a little concubine? We have to ask the second brother clearly, who is talking nonsense to instigate your husband and wife, and you must not be able to break up with that person! ”

In this way, the two sides coaxed and pulled, and in the end the two of them were forced off the field.

Wei Changying followed the two sisters-in-law into the backyard of the Flower Garden, but saw that this courtyard was much more lively than the Jintong Courtyard, with grape trellises in the courtyard, swings under the shelves, a leather ball thrown on the corridor, and a pair of thrushes hanging on the railing, chirping tactfully - there were three children in the second room.

The furnishings of Duanmu's house are similar to those of Wei Changying, and everything in it is neatly placed and not messy. Thinking that she hadn't heard the news of Duanmu's return before noon, it was estimated that she had just come back, and the house that she hadn't lived in for a few days was still so neat and clean, which showed that Duanmu's family had always asked for her subordinates, even if she wasn't there, and she was ready to come back at any time to use it.

Wei Changying couldn't help but think that just by looking at the furnishings in this house, she knew that this sister-in-law was really a strict person......

Because of the presence of the Liu family on her side, she was distracted, and when the maid entered the water, Duanmu wiped her face with tears, only to find that there were two red marks on one of her cheeks, which were slightly swollen.

Wei Changying was stunned for a moment before he reacted, this should be caused by a slap that was not completely avoided. No wonder when he entered the door, he saw Shen Zangji and Shen Yongkun stopping Shen Yongshi with such a desperate force, and he didn't even have time to say hello to himself, it turned out that Shen Yongshi actually made a move!

This is worse than insulting the Duanmu clan in public, a good daughter was beaten, and if she didn't come to the door to ask for an explanation after knowing it, how could the girls of the clan be decent?

Of course, the Shen family is not afraid of the Duanmu family, the problem is that the Duanmu family is not something that the Shen family can slack off at will. Especially Mrs. Deng is still counting on Duanmu to invite her sister Duanmu Xinmiao to treat her, in the final analysis, she still wants to ask Ji Qu to take action in person - on this eye joint, Shen Yushi beat Duanmu Clan, even if Duanmu Clan is still willing to go to her mother's house to invite someone, but the look on her face, how can Duanmu Xinmiao go to the clinic calmly?

Not to mention interceding in front of Ji Quai!

Wei Changying couldn't help but think, could it be that Shen Yongshi caught the evidence of the Duanmu clan's plot to kill the heir in Lu Qiao's belly, so he was so out of shape?

Otherwise, on the day of the tea ceremony, looking at Shen Jishi's kind attitude and cordial tone, he really didn't look like a person who beat and scolded his wife at every turn!

At this time, Duanmu washed his face, looked at the traces on his face in the mirror, and cried bitterly, Liu was busy persuading and comforting, and Wei Changying also echoed - it was easy to coax Duanmu, and the people in front of him came to invite, saying that Shen Yongshi had promised to listen to Duanmu's explanation before speaking.

So the two of them accompanied Duanmu to the front hall, and sure enough, Shen Yushi had a gloomy face, and was sandwiched between the two younger brothers, one left and one right, and his face was not good-looking, but when he saw Duanmu come in, he only snorted and didn't say anything.

Liu and Wei Changying helped Duanmu to sit down, and after sitting down, Duanmu was arrogant and shed tears, very aggrieved. Liu's sister-in-law couldn't help but say a few words about Shen Yushi...... Fortunately, Duanmu cleaned up his emotions, and the first sentence he said made everyone stunned: "Lu Qiao herself was not careless and lost the child, for fear of being punished, so she managed to get the abortion pill and put it in the tea bowl, deliberately planting others and provoking discord in the backyard of the second room!" I don't want to punish her, I just want to wait for her to be out of the moon, and then I will sell it...... What's wrong? ”

Shen Jishi was also stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Do you have any evidence that it is said that Lu Qiao lost the child by himself?" ”

Wei Changying bit her lower lip, thinking to herself that it was really ...... Shen Yushi thought that the Duanmu clan had harmed his heir, so he was so angry...... I just don't know how the Duanmu clan is going to end up now? She has always had a good reputation, and without any evidence, Shen Yongshi will not believe it.

I heard Duanmu choked up and said, "Naturally, there is, otherwise why would I say this thing about selling green warps today?" So he talked about it one by one, and from time to time called people from inside and outside to corroborate it, Wei Changying listened, only felt that the fit was flawless, and his heart was secretly awe-inspiring.

She couldn't find a loophole in this statement, Shen Yushi pondered for a long time, asked a few places, and Duanmu quickly explained, which was reasonable. Shen Zangji and Shen Yongkun both secretly wiped their sweat and said, "Second brother, listen, let's say that the second sister-in-law has always been virtuous, how could she do something to murder your heir?" The second brother's child, isn't it the second sister-in-law's child? ”

Shen Jishi couldn't pick out anymore, and he was squeezed by his younger brothers, and the Liu family also helped, so he had to apologize to the Duanmu clan with the last trace of instinctive suspicion......
