[Chapter 3, Volume 3]

Section 199

When Wei Changying just passed the door, he knew that Shen Zanghui's little uncle's marriage date was two months later than his own marriage, and now if you calculate it, the total will be more than half a month. At this time, he began to ask the people from the Taifu Mansion to help, and Wei Changying thought of the tediousness when he left the cabinet, and he couldn't help but worry about whether Chenguang was enough.

After returning to Jintong Courtyard, she inquired about the Huang family, and the Huang family smiled when she heard it, and said: "The young lady also knows that the marriage date of the fourth prince is only two months later than that of the young lady and the son-Heng Zhu are cousins, and the fourth son was raised by our wife as his own flesh and blood. What's more, the Shen family only welcomed the young lady into the door a month and a half ago, and many things are now ready-made, and then welcoming the bride of the fourth prince into the door is only a more refreshing and hands-on reason. ”

Wei Changying came to her senses when she said this, and said embarrassedly: "I forgot." ”

Huang said with a smile: "The young lady is young, although she is out of the cabinet, she has never handled such a thing, no wonder she can't think of it." ”

Wei Changying asked: "Then what should I do when I go tomorrow?" ”

"Young lady Rong maid to tell the truth, in fact, Xiang Ningbo said that he invited the lady and the young lady to come to the house to help with the marriage of the fourth son, but in fact, there are only two people who are really invited - the lady and the eldest young lady." Huang smiled and said, "Do you remember the Qian family who combed the young lady's hair when she left the pavilion?" ”

"I naturally remember Aunt Twenty-One." Wei Changying suddenly said, "Quanfu people? ”

"What the young lady said is that this wedding is a happy event, and it is unlucky for the person who handles it to be unlucky." Huang said with a smile, "Otherwise, Xiang Ningbo's eldest daughter and eldest lady have been presiding over the backyard of the house since she returned to her parents' house, and she has always been a mound woman when she was in the Su family before, so where can't many things be done?" It's all because of the identity that is not easy to do! ”

The voice was low, "The lady and the young lady are all parents in the hall and have complete children, and they are also respectful to their husbands, so they are naturally blessed." There is nothing bad about the young lady, but she has just passed the door and has never presided over such a thing, and the maid estimates that it is also kind to invite the young lady over to the Xiangningbo Mansion. At most, Madame took the young lady over to have a little experience, this kind of big thing, Madame didn't dare to ask such a young daughter-in-law as the young lady to really intervene so as not to go wrong. And the second young lady has no children under her knees so far, not only the second young lady herself, but even no male heir in her backyard has come out, the heirs of Xiangningbo Mansion are not as prosperous as our Taifu Mansion, how can the wedding of the fourth prince be touched by the second young lady? ”

Wei Chang nodded clearly: "I know, I'll go to the second uncle's side tomorrow, just listen and watch more." ”

The next day, she sent Shen Zangfeng away and went to the upper room to greet Mrs. Su.

Seeing that the daughters-in-law were all together, Mrs. Su took a sip of tea and said, "Let's go over." ”

This time, because Mrs. Su personally came to the house, and Wei Changying was also full moon, Shen Zangzhu, the eldest daughter of Xiang Ningbo and the eldest lady of the Shen family's own clan, personally greeted her at the corner gate.

Shen Zangzhu was not yet thirty years old, but he looked as if he was almost forty...... The face of the melon seeds, which should have been very pretty, was full of melancholy, and the corners of the eyes of a pair of apricot eyes that used to be watery had drooped, and the two bright autumn waters seemed to have dried up at the moment, revealing dazed and dead silence......

Although he came out to greet the elders, he still looked depressed.

Her kind of depression is different from Zhong Xiaoyi's. Zhong Xiaoyi is beauty contains light sorrow, and that sorrow only adds to the charm. Shen Zangzhu is really sad like the sea.

Because she is a widow, she wears a very plain dress, a moon-white collar on a shirt, a water-colored Luo skirt, a coiled bun, two flat hairpins on the bun, and there is no decoration from the clothes to the hairpin.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Su is her eldest aunt, but she looks even younger than her - seeing such a niece, Mrs. Su can't help but feel very distressed, holding her hand, and softly asking her about her current situation.

Shen Zangzhu smiled dismally and said, "Thank you aunt for your concern, I'm fine." ”

Mrs. Su sighed and said, "You also have to relax your snacks, there is no hurdle in this world that you can't get over...... Don't be too bitter about yourself, now that you are in your own home, you can make decisions about everything, and if you can't make decisions, there are also our elders who make decisions for you. ”

"That's what the eldest aunt said." Shen Zangzhu obviously didn't want to talk about his own affairs - so he said perfunctorily, greeted Liu, Duanmu, and Wei Changying in turn, and talked about Shen Zanghui's wife, as Huang expected, "When the third brother married the third brother and sister before, the fourth brother also prepared a copy here." The rest, my father said that it was all compared to the third brother's, and most of the things now are sent by my father to buy them himself, and I haven't touched them...... My father put all the books and books in the flower hall this morning. Let's go and see it now? ”

Mrs. Su had no choice but to say, "Then let's go over and have a look." ”

When he arrived in the flower hall, Shen Zangzhu asked people to serve tea, and refused to touch all kinds of booklets, but only introduced Mrs. Su one by one according to what Shen Zhou said. Because she is a top-notch family in the sea, and she is the eldest daughter-in-law of Shen Zhou's branch and the future grave woman, the cumbersome ceremony and the exquisiteness of the utensils are not at all under the time when Wei Changying passed through the door.

When Wei Changying passed through the door, because she was a bride, she was carried through the door in a sedan chair...... She didn't know how much effort the Shen family had spent on her side. Now listening to Shen Zangzhu's endless explanation of the things that need to be prepared, he talked about the tea scene, and said: "Father said that he didn't know much about the rest, and asked his aunt to help him." ”

Mrs. Su also said: "The big items are generally all together, even if they are less, they can be used by Feng'er and Chang Ying, and it doesn't matter." It's just that there are a lot of small things, and it takes a bit of effort to complete them, Yi'er, come and remember them......"

So Mrs. Su talked about one by one for a long time, and at the end, Shen Zangzhu reminded a few more, so Liu took notes again...... Wei Changying was dazzled by the audience, and secretly sighed that it was not easy for everyone to get married...... I was amazed at the good memory of the haggard Shen Zangzhu, Mrs. Su didn't say much as Shen Zangzhu said, and asked Liu to take notes, Shen Zangzhu was afraid that his bad luck would harm his younger brother, so he refused to touch the booklet at all, and he was able to recite it without a bad - it was really fate, if Su Yuxian did not die of illness, Shen Zangzhu, the second young lady of the Su family, expected to be a shrewd and capable person, and definitely not the appearance of being old and decrepit now.

In this way, until noon, they were discussing the purchase of supplementary things, and the wedding of Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying had not passed, and Mrs. Su and Liu had not forgotten to handle it single-handedly, so they finalized the list before lunch. Shen Zangzhu read the list in the air, so he asked people to call in various places to take charge of things and let Mrs. Su give instructions.

After sending the housekeepers and having lunch in Xiangningbo's Mansion, Mrs. Su sent the second and third daughters-in-law who didn't call anything in the morning and didn't let anyone touch any booklets: "No one in our house can watch it, you go back first, just let your sister-in-law give me a hand." ”

This is just Mrs. Su giving face to her daughters-in-law, not to mention that the Duanmu clan has no children so far, and Wei Changying has not been in the door for a long time, so she asked them to sit with them until now, and then give them a step to go back.

Duanmu and Wei Changying both knew it, Wei Changying didn't care if she didn't pass the door long anyway, Duanmu squeezed the veil hard - how many people are worried about having no children in the second room, even if they have been prepared, they can't help but feel uncomfortable after being mentioned.

The two got up and responded, and were about to say goodbye, but Shen Zangzhu seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "Auntie, the second brother and sister have been in the door for many years, and if you want to come to your side of the house, the second brother and sister can watch it, and the third brother and sister will stay and help the eldest aunt, so as not to make the eldest sister-in-law too tired alone." ”

Mrs. Su was stunned, she felt pity for this niece, and she would never refute Shen Zangzhu in such a matter, so although she was puzzled, she still said: "Since this is the case, then you can stay." ”

Duanmu bit his lower lip and saluted, "That daughter-in-law will go back first." ”

Shen Zangzhu couldn't help but be a little embarrassed because he kept Wei Changying in front of him but didn't keep Duanmu's family, so he got up and said, "I'll send one to my second brother and sister." "Accompanied the Duanmu clan out, and explained by the way.

As soon as they went out, Liu said with a smile: "The third brother and sister have always been in harmony with the third brother, isn't this request from the Pei family?" I hope that after their young lady passes through the door, she will also be in harmony with our fourth brother. ”

Mrs. Su snorted - she also knew that the three-room couple loved her, but in Mrs. Su's opinion, Wei Changying had only entered the door for a few days, and it was too useless to lose her husband's favor.

What's more, in Mrs. Su's mind, as long as she is a husband like her third son Shen Zangfeng, as long as she is not a big fool as his wife, she will never have a bad life. Now they are going to marry women, not women. Shen Zanghui wants to learn from Shen Zangfeng, why should he leave Wei Changying to manage the marriage and go to the house to consult Shen Zangfeng...... So Mrs. Su said lightly: "Maybe Zangzhu is just a piece of filial piety." ”

Liu Shi hurriedly said: "What my mother said is that my daughter-in-law is joking about my third brother and sister." ”

Wei Changying has long been accustomed to the behavior of sisters-in-law seizing every opportunity to provoke and instigate these days, and now she is too lazy to think deeply about the intention of Liu's words, but she took the opportunity to ask for advice: "I don't know which lady of the Pei family the fourth brother is going to marry?" ”

Seeing that Mrs. Su was looking at the booklet intently, Liu didn't seem to have the intention of answering in person, so he said, "The third brother and sister just passed the door, but we forgot to tell you." The fourth brother married the fifth lady of the Pei family, whose name is a beautiful girl. ”

"Yesterday, I also saw the daughter of the Pei family in Weiyang Palace, and there doesn't seem to be a fifth lady in it?" Wei Chang said.

"Maybe I know that we will go too, so I'm shy." Liu smiled slightly and said, "Before this family affair was settled, my mother personally went over to see the fourth brother, and since then, Miss Pei Wu has been avoiding her mother, and the young lady's family is tender." ”

The lady is not a wife, so there is no need to take leave if she is not present.

Wei Changying originally thought that the Pei family did not have a fifth miss, or that the fifth miss was not in the imperial capital, but she didn't want to be ashamed to see her future aunt.

Thinking that Miss Pei Wu was going to be the mistress of Xiangningbo Mansion after passing the door, but her temperament was so shy, Wei Changying couldn't help but laugh a little, and said: "What the eldest sister-in-law said is that I didn't expect the future four brothers and sisters to be so thin-faced. ”

At this time, Shen Zangzhu sent the Duanmu clan back, and when she heard it, she laughed and explained for Miss Pei Wu: "Meiniang didn't deliberately avoid the eldest aunt and you yesterday, but because she put too much ice on the night two days ago and coughed a little. ”

Wei Changying and Liu's were originally joking, and they didn't have any malicious intent, but when Shen Zangzhu bumped into and explained like this, they were always a little embarrassed, so they made amends: "It's us who talk too much and speculate about the future four brothers and sisters." ”

Shen Zangzhu said politely: "Don't be like this to the eldest sister-in-law and the third brother and sister, that's what I said." In fact, the future four siblings haven't passed through the door yet, and I don't know what kind of person they are. But thinking that it is the person who is favored by my mother, it will not be bad after all. ”

So Liu and Wei Changying made amends with Mrs. Su again.

Mrs. Su flipped through the booklet and said, "It's nothing to talk and laugh between concubines, just don't go too far." It didn't sound like being angry, and the two daughters-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Su asked Shen Zangzhu again: "Chang Ying is young and has no experience, if you keep her down, I'm afraid you can only serve us tea and pour water." This is a question that both Liu and Mrs. Su had guessed just now, and Wei Changying himself didn't know why, but now when he heard Mrs. Su ask, he couldn't help but prick up his ears.

Shen Zangzhu smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Father mentioned it in the morning...... The Tao is a blessing for the three brothers and sisters. So I thought that asking the third brother and sister to help me could also let the fourth brother and the fourth brother and sister get some blessings from the third brother and sister. ”

She also felt that saying this would inevitably embarrass Wei Changying, and the more she spoke, the quieter her voice became-Wei Changying's face was blue and red, and she was uncertain for a long time: although good luck is a good word, what Shen Zhou thinks is good is good ...... It probably means that he was able to retreat when he was assassinated in Fengzhou first, and then met Shen Zangfeng, a husband who did not dislike him, right?

These are all facts, but why...... Hearing that it was Shen Zhou, the second uncle, who said it, Wei Changying always felt that what he really wanted to say was not blessing, but ...... If you're lucky, you'll always be able to turn evil into good fortune? Don't you think of yourself as a person who drives away evil spirits and seeks good fortune...... Belch...... Forget it, my mother-in-law and my husband's eldest sister are here, so don't think about it......

So Wei Changying smiled reluctantly: "Uncle and eldest sister can take a fancy to me, where do I dare to be lazy?" It's just that I'm young and don't understand anything, and I hope my mother and sister-in-law will teach me more. ”
