Chapter 43: Bad News



[Chapter 5, Volume 5]

Section 520

It's just that after Shen Lang woke up, there was no bad news in the palace - maybe because he was too young? Still can't see it? In fact, after Shen Shuxi Shi acupuncture woke up before, the Shen family also looked at her worriedly, not knowing the bad luck. It wasn't until Shen Shuxi grew up after he arrived in Xiliang that although he was not as stunning as Shen Shuyan when he was taught by his cousin Shen Shuyan, he was more clever than ordinary children, and everyone was relieved.

So Duanmu Xinmiao said that he was delayed by Empress Dowager Deng's diagnosis and treatment, and it was very likely that he would become stupid, but it was only very possible. Maybe he's lucky, just like Shen Shuxi?

Although he pities this little prince, it has little to do with him. Wei Changying and Duanmu Xinmiao sighed and let go, seeing that the days passed day by day, Shen Zangfeng guarded Yanzhou but still did not return, this has been a year...... Wei Changying missed it in her heart.

But although Yanzhou is not far from the emperor, her in-laws are in the hall, and she is still a young lady in charge now, so it is impossible to go to Yanzhou to find a husband. I had no choice but to ask my mother-in-law in private when my husband would come back?

Mrs. Su also felt that Wei Changying had only been through the door for a few years, but she had said goodbye to her husband twice, and she was really aggrieved. After comforting her for a few words, he went to preach to Shen Xuan: "Since the Rong people have withdrawn from the army, the situation in Yanzhou is not too tight, do you want Feng'er to come back first?" After all, Guang'er and Xie'er are still young, and Chang Ying has to be in charge of the house and take care of two grandchildren, so it's not easy. ”

Shen Xuan frowned and said: "Let's talk about it after the New Year, you must know that the Rong people are now gathering in the king's tent, but they have not dispersed." Maybe the third prince packed up his eldest brother and then waved his army south? ”

Since it's for the sake of war, there's no way around it.

After Wei Changying heard her mother-in-law convey this meaning euphemistically, she sighed in her heart and returned to Jintong Courtyard listlessly.

Who would have thought that after returning to the courtyard, there was even worse news waiting for her - the Huang family greeted her with a solemn expression and said: "If the young lady doesn't come back, the maid will send someone to invite: the Song family just sent someone over, and the Tao is ...... Sikong-sama, he doesn't seem to be very good! ”

Wei Changying was shocked when he heard this!

Although Song Yuwang has been ill for many years, everyone knows in their hearts that he is just dragging it out like this, but seeing him drag it down day by day, he always hopes that he will be able to get better? Or a few more years? How could this be...... Her hands and feet were cold for a moment, and she was stunned for a moment before she said, "And now?" ”

As soon as Huang heard her ask this, he knew that the news was too sudden, and Wei Changying was a little confused, and hurriedly reminded: "You have to hurry up!" Lord Sikong refused to see you before, saying that he was afraid that he would touch his feelings. But now that the eldest prince of Song has sent someone to invite, I am afraid that you will be asked to meet you...... See you! ”

This kind of thing is very urgent, maybe it is a long way to go one step late, Wei Changying didn't have time to ask her mother-in-law for instructions, and directly told a servant to go to the room and said that she hurriedly sent a carriage and a horse to lead her eldest son who was doing homework. Drove all the way to Sikong Mansion, thankfully there was no crying in the room, the door had already been ordered, and the old servant who led the way was waiting in front of the door, and hurriedly invited her in.

At this time, I couldn't care about Song Yuwang in the inner room, and the father and son were both men, Wei Changying picked up his son and walked into the door quickly, but when he saw that under the half-rolled embroidered curtain, his uncle Song Yuwang was as withered as a skeleton, and he didn't look like a living person - thinking of the gentle voice of this uncle when he saw him for the first time after leaving the cabinet, Wei Changying's heart was sour, and he immediately burst into tears!

If Song Yuwang hadn't had a little light in his eyes at this time, and his chest had risen and fallen slightly, it would have looked like he was completely dead. Since Shen Shuguang remembered, although he had met this uncle a few times with his grandfather and other elders, and was hugged by him, Song Yuwang had not yet reached such a point at that time. Seeing this scene at this moment, I couldn't help but be a little scared and a little curious, my little hand grabbed my mother's skirt, looked at him, and remained silent timidly.

Song Zaitian, who was described as haggard, sat silently on the side, staring blankly at the distance, neither greeting his cousin nor crying, but revealing an atmosphere of mourning greater than death.

Wei Changying didn't have to ask her cousin this time, she took Shen Shuguang and knelt down to Song Yu's couch together, and cried sadly: "Uncle? Uncle? Your niece and Guang'er have come to see you, ...... Do you remember your niece? ”

Song Yu couldn't see it very well, and it sounded hard - Wei Changying shouted several times, and the louder he shouted, the louder he became, he responded twice, and finally said hoarsely: "Long ...... Win? ”

"It's the niece, and the niece came to see you with Guang'er." Wei Changying couldn't have imagined that this uncle would not be able to do it now, and looking at his appearance of running out of oil and withering the lamp, he didn't know how much torture he had suffered these days to drag it out to today. She came to visit a few times before, but Song Yuwang couldn't say that she couldn't see it, but Taishi and others came, and he would see him occasionally.

At that time, Wei Changying was a little aggrieved in his heart, how could he say that he was a niece and niece, and he was really worried about his uncle, why didn't he even let him see him?

Now that I see Song Yuwang like this, I know how hard this uncle is and how difficult it is, and it is strange that he refuses to even see his niece, obviously because he is afraid that it will take a little more energy to see one more person, and it will cost him a little more energy, which is equivalent to letting him live a little less. And Taishi and others, for the sake of the Song family, he had to be perfunctory.

Although Song Yuwang only had one breath left, his thinking seemed to be clear, and when he heard this, he tilted his head to the side with great effort, and said angrily: "Guang'er has grown up a lot now, right?" ”

Wei Changying hurriedly pushed Shen Shuguang forward: "Your uncle called you!" ”

Shen Shuguang shouted to his uncle, Song Yuwang responded with a smile, and slightly raised his voice and ordered Song Zaitian: "The set of four treasures in the study at the bottom of the dark grid in my study will be given to Guang'er in the future." And he said, "The penultimate set is for Xie'er." Let's just think about it. ”

Wei Changying couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard that he was arranging what was going on after his death, at this time he should have persuaded Song Yuwang to open up a little and say some words of encouragement and comfort. But Song Yu looked like this now, and said that he would get better, which was undoubtedly coaxing a three-year-old child.

It was because she couldn't say anything but sob.

On the contrary, after Song Yuwang told his son to leave a set of four treasures for each of his two nephews, he calmly said to her: "Your mother is my only sister, but it's a pity that after she went to Fengzhou, I never met her again." Originally, I had been telling them to take care of their aunt in the future, but since your father is very good, everything has been fine since you came out of the cabinet, and I heard that Changfeng has also succeeded in studying...... Thinking about it, she is also bitter and sweet, and she will definitely get better and better in the future. But I won't do it, and I'll ask her to take care of your cousins and cousins more in the future. ”

Wei Changying saw that he was supporting Gu, and agreed silently.

I heard Song Yuwang again: "Your grandmother has already gone, but there is still a grandfather in the hall, and in the future, Changfeng will marry Miss Su Jia, and someone will preside over the backyard." Please don't forget your mother to find time to go back to Jiangnan to visit, so as not to desolate your father's knees. ”

Next, he told a lot of trivial things one by one, and gradually became more and more clear and organized, and his voice was much higher - it was clearly a return to the light - the more Wei Changying listened, the more sad he became, and his tears couldn't stop falling on the edge of the couch, Shen Shuguang was still young, and he didn't know the pain of life and death, so he looked at his uncle on the couch blankly and then at his mother, and then obediently raised his sleeves to wipe his mother's tears.

I don't know how long I said, Song Yuwang seemed to finish what he wanted to say, thought for a moment, and sighed lightly: "Good boy, you take Guang'er out for a meeting, I still want to talk to Zaitian." ”

I know how long my uncle won't last long now, once he returns to the light...... Wei Changying's heart was messy, empty, but he didn't dare to delay, and said to Song Zaitian, who was beside Mu Ran, with a whimper: "Big cousin, come here, uncle wants to talk to you." He hurriedly exited the inner room with Shen Shuguang in his arms - ran all the way to the porch outside, and he didn't have time to pay attention to his surroundings, so he held his son in one hand and covered his mouth with the other, crying silently!

I don't know how long she cried, she felt that someone wanted to take Shen Shuguang from her arms, but she said that it was Huang, so she let go and let the other party hug her, and she leaned on the other party's shoulder and cried mournfully. But I heard Shen Shuguang shouting: "Grandmother! ”

Wei Changying cried twice more before trying to stop, and when she looked up, she saw that it was her mother-in-law, Mrs. Su, and the autumn-scented jacket on her shoulder had already been stained by herself crying. And it's not just Mrs. Su who is there, but there are many people in the outer room behind her.

In addition to the in-laws of the Song family, the father and brother of the eldest lady Huo, the parents of the second lady Min, the Taibao Su Pingzhan and Su Mao, and the Shen Xuan couple who are also relatives of these two generations because Wei Changying is also counted as a relative of Song Yuwang, there is also Duanmu Xinmiao, who is frowning at the door of the inner room at the moment.

Thinking about Song Yuwang, even if he has been ill for many years, he will be in the empty position, but whether it is his participation in politics for more than ten years or his current status as a family member of the Jiangnan Song clan, he will pass away, and it is impossible for the rest of the five lords not to come and send it off. Especially now that the Song family is not in order, even if there are other Song clansmen in the imperial capital, Song Zaitian is difficult to support alone, because he has served his father for a long time, and his health is not good, everyone came over to support him in the scene, so as not to let Song Yu look at it, now the imperial capital is not connected with Jiangnan Hall, and Duanhui Gong is also old, he may not be able to bear the pain of losing his wife and children within two years, and some people have crooked thoughts.

The second was to comfort Song Zaitian, Duanmu Xing actually brought his granddaughter over.

When Wei Changying ran out of the inner room just now, he didn't notice them because of his excessive grief, but now that he saw it, he wiped his face indiscriminately, choked up and turned back to salute everyone to make amends. At this time, the ministers did not take care of themselves, and absentmindedly said two words such as she was pure filial piety, and she was not a loss of manners.

But before these words fell, I heard a cry in the inner room, "Father! ”

Everyone's expressions were all awe-inspiring!

Wei Changying looked at the inner room in surprise, and was about to run back, but he heard the Taishi say softly: "Sikong doesn't know what to do with me Duanmu, and the old man won't go to him at this moment to attract attention, please go in and have a look." ”

In addition to the Taishi, everyone rushed into the inner room together, but they saw that Song Yuwang still had a breath, but his face was even more gray than before, this was dying-Su Pingzhan and Shen Xuan glanced at each other, and stepped forward to talk to him together, but at this time, they didn't care about being polite, and asked him if he had any unfinished business, which he could help?

Even the lieutenant Liu Siyuan then promised that he would try his best to take care of the Song family in the future...... At this time, Wei Changying was completely speechless, and was standing behind with her arm held by Mrs. Su, crying dumbly.

When everyone was gossiping about promises, they heard what Song Yuwang seemed to say...... Su Pingzhan said in a deep voice: "Be quiet!" Let's listen to what Huaqing has to say! ”

After quieting down, I heard Song Yuwang say weakly: "I'...... No...... Sweet...... Heart! ”

Su Pingzhan was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "Huaqing, you ......" What he wanted to say hadn't been said yet, but Wei Changying had already seen his uncle's head tilted suddenly from the crowd, and his chest, which was originally as weak as nothing, suddenly calmed down, and the eyes that exuded the last bit of life light still looked at the sloping roof, with infinite nostalgia and unwillingness for the world.

"Father!" Song Zaitian shouted bitterly, and before everyone persuaded him to mourn, his body shook for a while, and he fell directly on the couch......
