bsp; Chapter Twenty-Nine: Is it relevant to be full of spring?

When Wei Changying was in Xiliang to commemorate the spring snow in the imperial capital, it did not snow, but rained.

The silk spring rain is like a fine needle, looking soft and soft, reaching out to take it, it must still carry the material of early spring.

Hitting the eaves, it makes a pleasant rustling sound like spring cannibalization leaves, endless, and there is an indescribable sultry.

At this time, although you still have to wear jackets, the pink walls and tiles of the imperial city are already thriving with plants and trees that have been soaked and washed by the spring rain like smoke and fog and green.

The city is full of spring.

The sound of rain is like music, and the deep courtyard is lonely.

In the early spring afternoon, people are most likely to be sleepy. Song Yuwang, who was alone in the study, finished his official work, and only after reading the book for a while, his eyes were sour and unbearable, so he put down the book in his hand and looked out the window to relieve his fatigue.

The first thing that catches the eye is the fluttering banana leaves that stretch to the railing from time to time with the beating of the drizzle, and you can feel its full vitality and greenery without deliberately looking at it. Not only plantains, it is the season of full bloom, many plants and trees in the courtyard are scrambling to happen, the delicate and emerald green unique to the first branches and leaves, washed by the rain, more and more verdant and tender, looking at it for a long time like a treasure seems to exude the brilliance of vitality.

In the dense sound of rain, there is no description of the sounds of nature, cut and noisy, non-stop, uninterrupted, like a grand movement played by heaven and earth. Song Yuwang listened for a moment, his eyes stayed on a drop of water condensed from the tip of the plantain leaf, crystal clear, full of fresh greenery could not compete for its brilliance, but it was a pity that it fell not long ago, fell into the sludge, and never to be seen again......

His heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the scene when his wife was still alive, and the two of them talked and laughed together in this study.

At that time, his wife Wei Cicada Ying loved to lie on the window lattice and watch the plantain in her spare time. Song Yuwang once asked the reason, Wei Chanying said that it was because there was such a bush of plantains outside the house where she lived when she was a child, she heard the footsteps and leaned to the window to see, if her father came, her mother picked up Wei Chanying and handed it over through the window...... Then the father would carry his daughter in his arms and walk leisurely through the corridor into the house to meet his wife.

…… Although Wei Chanying is also the young lady of Rui Yutang and the daughter of the Wei family of Fengzhou, she is actually not worthy of Song Yuwang.

She is from the side branch of Ruiyu Hall, and her bloodline is farther than Wei Yu's room. Neither father nor brother is a very talented person, living on a meager ancestral property. Because his grandmother was infected with an illness, she sold part of her ancestral property in order to cure the disease, and the family's life became more and more embarrassing. Later, his father even had to ask someone to go to Ruiyu Hall to seek a steward position, and grab a bite to eat with the servants.

Speaking of which, Jiang Nantang's only son Song Yuwang would marry her, but it was really Song Tan, the father of Mrs. Song, who was obsessed with his deceased wife and did many ridiculous things. As Song Tan's nephew, Duanhui Gong Song Xinping didn't dare to risk his only adult son, so he had to agree to this marriage that did not match.

At the beginning, Song Xinping took a fancy to Wei Zhengyin, the biological daughter of his cousin Mrs. Song, Song Yuwang, as an only son, was destined to take over Jiangnan Hall in the future when his brothers died one after another. Wei Zhengyin, the only daughter of the Wei lord, is his wife.

But Wei Zhengyin is several years younger than Song Yuwang, although Mrs. Song attaches more importance to her eldest son than her own daughter, but this is just compared with Wei Zhenghong. The old lady survived with a son and a daughter, and of course she was very concerned about the marriage of her own daughter. So after Song Xinping discussed with her in private, Mrs. Song did not nod immediately, but asked her nephew to come to her mansion to live for a while, so that she could personally observe her nephew's temperament and whether it was suitable for her daughter.

Song Xinping did not object to this request, he was such a sister-in-law, and naturally hoped that Song Yuwang could be a husband and wife who could love and be harmonious and happy. Moreover, Song Yuwang is a man, in order to marry a good wife, he was inspected by his cousin and future mother-in-law for a period of time, and it will only be a good story if it is passed out; You can't let Wei Zhengyin and a girl go to Song's house to live for a while, so that the future Aunt Weng can see if it is agreeable?

So Song Yuwang lived in Wei's house in the name of asking his uncle Wei Huan for homework. Then, before his cousin Wei Zhengyin grew up, he first saw Wei Cicada Shadow who had to rush to the Wei Mansion to find his father back because his mother suddenly fell ill and there were no extra servants at home.

When they first met, Wei Chanying was worried about her mother, regardless of her identity, she showed up regardless of her identity, not to mention the Jing Hai cloth skirt, but she was also dressed in old clothes, and her expression was frightened - but these couldn't stop Song Yuwang from falling in love with her at first sight, but she only inquired about her father's name, and she didn't even have time to ask if she had a marriage contract, so she returned to the Song family and asked Song Xinping to marry Wei Chanying.

Of course Song Xinping is reluctant, he only has one son, Song Yuwang has no brother as an arm, and is counting on the support of his wife - his cousin Mrs. Song and her cousin-in-law Wei Huan are both skilled and married their only daughter-in-law.

However, in view of the crazy behavior of the lovers of the Song family, Song Xinping, who was afraid that his only son would have an accident, still explained the situation to Mrs. Song with a shy face and a hard head. Fortunately, Mrs. Song was not angry when she found out, but breathed a sigh of relief, and only said: "It's a shame that I didn't get married before, and now no one outside knows, and I can't delay the children." ”

So the third lady of the Su family almost became the daughter-in-law of the Song family, and the matter was covered up silently, and all that was known was Song Xinping and his wife, Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song, as well as Song Yuwang himself...... Even Wei Zhengyin didn't know that he was almost married to his mother's maiden cousin because he was young, not the third master of the Su family today.

Wei Cicada Shadow was able to withstand everyone's envious eyes and pass through the door safely and smoothly.

Her family was poor, and her poor growth cultivated her docile and silent temperament. Even if she married Song Yuwang, she didn't become arrogant because of her wealth and Song Yuwang's favor, this huge mansion, when she lived in as the hostess, the only request she made was to plant a bush of plantains outside the study.

Song Yuwang has imagined many times the situation of his wife when she was a child: her father was a housekeeper in Ruiyu Hall, and he was on an equal footing with the servants of the world as a clansman, which was both bitter and busy; The mother guards the family business and the children, and she also works day and night, and she is not worried about her young daughter, so she has always taken her with her.

It is rare for the father to return from a vacation, and the mother and daughter do not wait for him to bypass the corridor and enter the house, and they can't wait to talk through the window. The youngest daughter was lying on the window and waiting for her father to hug her, so the mother understood her daughter's mood, handed her out through the window, and walked from the window to the door of the house......

This may be the most memorable and warmest memory of Wei Chanying when she was a child, so she was as gentle as her, and she also opened her mouth when she found that there were strange flowers and plants outside the study, but only the ordinary plantain was missing...... In fact, this bush of plantain is not the one that Wei Cicada Shadow asked to plant before.

At first, the clump died long before Wei Cicada Shadow died.

Pot after pot of boiling water was poured down, and even the roots died cleanly.

Song Yuwang invited the most prestigious florist in the imperial capital, but he failed to save even a small plant.

The order to kill the bush of bananas was under the shadow of Wei Cicada, this woman who refused to even step on an ant in her life, the reason why she would be ruthless to dispose of an innocent bush of bananas was because of her dying words: "Forget me." ”

A glimpse of the Wei Mansion and more than ten years of love and affection, envying countless others. In the end, all Wei Chanying asked for was that he forgot her.

The red face is thin, and he is about to die, but the lover is in the prime of life. With the love of the two, Wei Chanying is not worried about the children who have not yet grown up, she is only worried that her husband will follow the example of the ancestors of the Song family and never forget herself, making this marriage a shackle for his life.

So she took advantage of the fact that her breath was still alive and that Song Yuwang was away, so she ordered someone to burn all her used things, even the plantain she asked to plant outside the window, and she didn't let go - she even wrote a letter to ask her father and brother to sell their property and return to Fengzhou, so as not to easily associate with Song Yuwang and their children. Do everything possible to eliminate the traces of her existence, so that Song Yuwang has a chance to accept new people.

As a wife, she only made two requests to her husband in her life, and for the second request, she even personally ordered the first request to be completely eradicated......

But a few pots of boiling water easily watered the roots of the plantain, but her existence has long been deeply ingrained in Song Yuwang's soul and will never be forgotten.

Even though she was destroyed, Song Yuwang relied on her memory and ordered people to restore them one by one and put them back in their original places. Even the banana outside the window was sent from the courtyard of Wei Cicada Ying's mother's house.

He did his best to maintain what his wife had while she was there, or to pretend that she was still there, but that she was not there at the moment, or in the boudoir, or on the shore of the pool, and perhaps the next moment he would send someone to invite her, or he could see it in the past...... But the eulogy hanging high in the study, and the empty study room alone, all reminded Song Yuwang that the Si people had gone......

Stroking the red silk rope that Wei Cicada Shadow knotted with his own hands when the shadow of the cicada was on his wrist, Song Yuwang thought sadly: "Without you in the world, what does the spring in the city have to do with me?" ”

He suddenly felt that he couldn't bear to look at the plantain bush anymore, and was about to call someone to come and close the window to obscure his vision. Unexpectedly, I saw a girl in a goose yellow dress behind Basho, wearing a hat, with a graceful figure, and walked closer, and saw Song Yuwang looking at his side through the window, so he raised his hand as white as the moon and lifted the scarf and raised the brim of the hat, revealing a face that was as bright as spring, but unfortunately there was a scar on the corner of the forehead. ”

“…… There you are? Song Yuwang was thinking about his deceased wife, but was interrupted by his daughter coming over, and was stunned for a moment before he raised his voice through the window and ordered, "Don't be formal, come in and talk." ”

Song Zaishui went up to the corridor according to his words, listening to the sound of his daughter's clogs stepping on the wooden planks of the corridor, Song Yuwang was immersed in the scene of Wei Chanying's longing for his father's return when he was a child. waited until Song Zaishui entered the door, came to him, and made a gesture of hanging his hands to stand by, he was in a trance for a moment, and then remembered why his daughter came over now-it was he who sent someone over last night to order Song Zaishui to come over at this hour.

After settling down, Song Yu ordered him to withdraw first, and then said softly: "Yesterday, your cousin-in-law went to the yamen to find his father, and he proposed marriage for his only son. It is said that you have seen it, but my father has not asked you, for fear that you will not like it, so he said that he should give him an answer after considering it, but he does not know what you think? ”

Song Zaishui was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "I don't know which cousin-in-law my father is talking about?" ”

She has the most likely candidate in her heart, but there are the most three relatives and four relatives in the family, not to mention that she is now looking damaged and old, not as good as a serious eldest lady, not very people dare not open this mouth at all - low marriage is eight out of ten. Nine things, there are more people who dare to speak, maybe they guessed wrong?

Song Yu looked and said: "It's your second cousin-in-law of the Wei family, and his only son is called Su Yuwu." ”
