Chapter 70: Pei Meiniang
[Chapter 3, Volume 3]
Section 201
When the two arrived at the backyard of Xiangningbo's Mansion, Mrs. Su had already returned from the front, and was talking to the Liu family about the list, but she was not surprised to see Shen Zangfeng, and said: "Fang Zanghui is also back, and Commander Gu is really well-intentioned." ”
Shen Zangfeng said with a smile: "There are benefits on both sides of the horizontal and vertical, isn't there more people who can support my mother now?" ”
Mrs. Su scolded with a smile: "You just welcome the guests, there is no capable steward in such a thing." ”
"I can share my mother's worries after all." Shen Zangfeng laughed with his mother, "Besides, the child can also pinch his mother's shoulder and beat his leg." ”
"Go, go!" Mrs. Su pouted him, "I was about to write a list, you come over and pinch your shoulder, and see that I write crookedly." "Go ahead and ask the steward over there if you want to help, and then don't make trouble." ”
Shen Zangfeng smiled a few more words before she drove her away and sent her son, and Mrs. Su asked Wei Changying, "Your mother's eldest aunt went back to live in the imperial capital, and she asked someone to come over to see you?" ”
Wei Changying hurriedly said: "Yes, but the daughter-in-law thinks, the fourth brother is here for a lifetime, although the daughter-in-law is young and doesn't understand these things, she can't do anything, but she can also help her mother and sister-in-law, where can she go away these days?" Moreover, the person who came with the eldest aunt also said that the eldest aunt told him that since the daughter-in-law was out of the cabinet, she should put the affairs of her husband's family first, and let the daughter-in-law come to see each other again. The person who sent me today just came to invite me, and also told my daughter-in-law where my aunt and cousins lived now, not that my daughter-in-law rushed to see them. ”
Mrs. Su heard her say that she should focus on the affairs of her husband's family, and she showed a satisfied look and said, "I heard your eldest sister-in-law say that your eldest aunt has not seen her for many years, and she is close to her flesh and blood, and she misses it very much. But you also saw that your second aunt went early, and Hui'er is your uncle's eldest son, his marriage should not be neglected, although you are young and have just passed the door, but you are always his sister-in-law! Your second uncle also said that you are blessed, and you really can't help you in many things. ”
"The daughter-in-law can't afford the praise of her mother, if there is no careful guidance from her mother and sister-in-law in the past two days, the daughter-in-law really doesn't know anything like a wooden man." Wei Changying pursed his lips and smiled.
Mrs. Su said with a smile: "Everyone came over like this, when I was young, I followed my mother-in-law and sister-in-law to take a hand, and I knew it when I came and went." And he said, "There are several brothers and sisters under you, and there are nephews and nieces in the future, and I can't handle this old bone a few times." I'll always leave it to you in the future. ”
Wei Changying looked at Liu and smiled: "The daughter-in-law is stupid, and she has to beg her sister-in-law." ”
Although Liu's interest in the past two days was not high, he smiled reluctantly now, and said: "I have followed my mother to see the marriage of the eldest sister, the second sister, the second brother and you, and even the fourth brother is the fifth time, but without my mother's palm, I have many places that I am not sure about." ”
Mrs. Su saw that the chatter had been delayed for some time, so she said: "You will learn to learn, you will definitely not be able to rest assured for the first time." But after doing it again, I knew that it was not difficult to say otherwise...... Zanghui is here in a few days before the end of the day, and when your four brothers and sisters have served tea, you can go to your eldest aunt again, and you don't have to worry about it at that time. ”
Wei Changying said to himself: "Mother said yes. ”
In this way, all the people who have no taboos up and down have been mobilized, and they are all busy, and finally on the eighth day of the first month of June, the newcomers entered the door with gongs and drums, and the sister-in-law who was relieved hugged to the cave room to see the bride - Shen Zanghui took off his hijab happily, and saw Pei Mei Niang under the hairpin dress as his name, with white melon seeds on his face with distant mountain eyebrows and apricot eyes, and a plum blossom in the center of his eyebrows set off his skin and snow, and he was glamorous.
Shen Zanghui didn't see his wife before he got married, he only heard the eldest sister Shen Zangzhu say in private that she was born well, at this moment Pei Meiniang's appearance exceeded his expectations, and she was surprised, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed, staring at Pei Meiniang's good eyes - which made the cousins and sisters-in-law laugh, Shen Zangning smiled and shouted: "I said before that the third brother was reluctant to give up the third sister-in-law, and didn't want to leave the cave room to toast at the banquet, how could the third brother have the fourth brother now see the fourth sister-in-law in a daze?" ”
When he said this, everyone stopped hiding it and laughed.
Shen Zanghui and Pei Meiniang both blushed, and subconsciously glanced at each other, which meant something about each other's veins...... Everyone joked that they would finish the ceremony, urged Shen Zanghui to go out to toast, and teased Pei Meiniang a few words as usual.
However, this Miss Pei family lowered her head and remained silent after her husband left, no matter how embarrassed everyone was, she didn't speak, and she didn't know whether she was shy, nervous or annoyed, and everyone was afraid that the happy event would be ruined, so she didn't say anything, looked at Chenguang, congratulated her a few words, and exited the door together.
On the way back to the table, Liu quietly discussed with Wei Changying: "These four brothers and sisters don't look very generous. ”
Wei Changying smiled and said: "Xu is the new bride, I don't hide it from my sister-in-law, I was also very scared that day, and I didn't know what I said." ”
Liu said that Pei Meiniang was not very generous, firstly, Pei Meiniang's silence seemed childish, and she did not give face to her sisters-in-law - after all, Liu had been busy for so many days for her to enter the door, and it would be disappointing to tease her a few words and not even reply to a few words at the right time; Second, she felt that her maiden family, Pei's, was just a family, and the three of them were all from domestic families, compared to Pei's silence, it seemed that she was inferior in front of her concubine.
Now seeing that Wei Changying didn't echo his words, Liu didn't say anything, but said: "I'll go back if I eat casually, Ming'er still has to prepare the bride for tea, and then you can rest for a few days." The three brothers and sisters have been tired in the past two days, right? ”
"Mother and sister-in-law made the big head, I'm just going to do it." Wei Changying said humbly, "I'm fine." ”
"After tomorrow you can go to see your eldest aunt." Liu sat down with her gossiping......
Early the next morning, Shen Xuan's branch gathered again and prepared the bride to come and recognize each other.
Taking advantage of the fact that Shen Zanghui and the bride had not yet come, Shen Xuan first asked a few questions about the children's studies, and Shen Shuming was now the only grandson and grandson, so he was paid special attention to by Shen Xuan, and specially called him to his side to ask questions about his homework.
However, Shen Shuming didn't know if it was because the Liu family had been helping out in Xiangningbo's Mansion for the past few days and had neglected to discipline his son, or if he didn't pay much attention to his homework in the first place, and he stumbled over a hundred-word essay, which made Shen Xuan frown frequently - seeing this situation, he cast a look for help from his grandmother Mrs. Su while turning his back.
Mrs. Su was very strict with her daughter Shen Zang, but she was very conniving with her eldest grandson, and when Shen Shuming saw it, she rounded the field for him and said: "Zanghui and they are coming over, you are now asking Shu Ming to endorse, he is worried about seeing the new aunt, where can he settle down?" Let's test him again in the evening. ”
Shen Xuan's face was very ugly, and said: "You don't have to talk to him, this fuwen was taught to him by Mr. in the first half of the year, but he is not familiar with it until now, and he must be greedy for fun." "Just ask someone to take the ring ruler," Shu Yan is only four years old, his predecessors resigned, and most of them can recite it, as an eldest brother, you are not as good as a younger sister, I won't leave you a lesson today, and you don't have to get used to being a gentleman! ”
Shen Shuming was anxious when he heard that he was going to take the ring ruler, and turned his head to his father Shen Zang and shouted, "Father save me!" ”
Wei Changying couldn't cry or laugh in her heart, thinking that if your father wanted to beat you, you would just ask your grandfather to save your life, but now that your grandfather wants to beat you, what's the use of you looking for your father...... However, Shen Zangli really came out to intercede, and said with a smile: "Father, don't be angry with this kid, he is not as talented as Yan'er......"
"It's because of the inferior talent that I have to make up for the hard work!" Shen Xuan glared at Shen Zangli fiercely, and said angrily, "If you don't raise it, it's your father's fault!" You are still used to such a big person, this is your own son, are you afraid that you can't hurt him? ”
Shen Zangli was scolded with an embarrassed face, Liu was worried that he would continue to anger his father-in-law, so he pulled his sleeve vigorously, but Shen Zangli really doted on his son, so he still broke away from Liu, and said stubbornly: "The child knows his mistakes, but now the fourth brother and the fourth brother and sister are coming......"
Mrs. Su also spoke again: "If you want to beat and scold the child, when can't you?" Choosing Chenguang of his niece's tea, if this is passed out, you are not satisfied with your niece, and the dignified uncle deliberately pointed out that Sang scolded Huai for a junior! Does it sound good? ”
Shen Yongshi, Shen Zangfeng and other sons also persuaded one after another, and the sixth son, Shen Yongkun, and the eighth son, Shen Yongheng, pulled Shen Shuming to the bottom together, so that Shen Xuan was angry-fortunately, everyone persuaded the matter to calm down, and someone outside came to report that Shen Zanghui had led Pei Meiniang through the corner gate and was coming here.
So the whole house looked at each other's clothes and appearances, tidied up their clothes, and Mrs. Su asked someone to remove half of the tea...... When Shen Zanghui and Pei Meiniang came in together, the hall was neat and tight.
After a night, Pei Meiniang, who has changed from Miss Pei Wu to the fourth young lady of the Shen family, seems to be much more generous, although there are still shy red clouds on her face from time to time, but when she hears the jokes of the concubine, she is not silent, and she more or less replies. Originally, Liu and the others had gone through the cold scene last night, and they knew that this brother and sister didn't like to talk, but now they just showed affection on the scene, and made fun of them casually, but they were actually blocked back by Pei's words, and they were slightly stunned: These four brothers and sisters don't look like people who are too shy to speak?
So if you didn't answer last night, didn't you mean it?
Thinking so, Duanmu reached out to help Pei Meiniang up, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I saw that my younger brother and sister kept ignoring our jokes, and we thought that my younger brother and sister were not like to talk about it." I just found out today that my brother and sister have a good mouth, and yesterday they deceived us all. ”
When Pei Meiniang heard this, she said without thinking: "I was too tired yesterday." ”
Duanmu waited for a while, and saw that she didn't add a sentence of "neglecting the sisters-in-law" and other words of reparation, so he had to laugh forcibly: "That's the sister-in-law's no, I didn't expect you to be extremely tired when you went out of the cabinet, but you still have to lead you to talk about things, and it's strange that you don't talk much." ”
At this time, according to the polite words, Pei Meiniang should say, for example, "What the second sister-in-law said is also useless to me, when people are tired, their minds can't be turned, and they don't know how to answer the sisters-in-law, and they are afraid that it will be bad to say bad things, so they are silent", so as to step down for Duanmu. But Pei Meiniang was generous and calm, and said: "Second sister-in-law don't worry, I don't blame the sisters-in-law." ”
"......" Duanmu was silent.
Liu squeezed the veil tightly, secretly thinking that she didn't ask or say it to herself, otherwise she would really have to give a look on the spot - because Duanmu didn't have a son, she only accompanied Shen Zhou for half a day the day after she asked her sister-in-law and nephews to come to the house to help, and Liu was busy with her mother-in-law from beginning to end!
She hasn't been through the door for a long time like Wei Changying, and she hasn't experienced anything like this before, so she can only start and do something unimportant. Liu has experienced five marriages from her husband's family since she came out of the cabinet, although she said modestly that she still didn't dare to be alone, in fact, she was able to preside over it alone.
Mrs. Su also knows this point, in the past few days, except for Mrs. Su herself, the Liu family herself is the busiest-no, she is so busy that she can't even take care of her only son's schoolwork, so Shen Shuming lost such a big face in front of her grandfather, and the whole family went into battle to persuade her!
After paying so much, I don't ask Pei Meiniang to thank her for her kindness after passing the door, so why don't you say a heart-warming word? However, these four siblings said, "I don't blame the sisters-in-law", if it weren't for the fact that Liu's eldest daughter is ten years old, she would be a long-lived person in the backyard, she really wanted to point to Pei Meiniang's nose and ask: "Why do you blame us?!" ”
Wei Changying was also a little speechless......
In fact, when she first heard that Miss Pei Wu was very shy and shy, the first thing she thought of was her third aunt Pei Shi - the aunt who was afraid that others would say that she was not worthy of being a daughter-in-law because her background was not as good as Fengzhou Wei.
However, now it seems that although this Pei Meiniang and the Pei family are of the same clan, they are not the same type at all. The master said that she would feel inferior in front of her husband's family, whose lintel was higher than her mother's house, and she felt very good about herself......
Although Pei Meiniang almost offended the three cousins-in-law with one sentence, but now, when the elders and the younger generations came to the bride to serve tea on the first day, she looked at her husband Shen Zanghui again, and she didn't know if she heard these two words, and looked at her wife tenderly, looking like she was tired of the tea ceremony...... Duanmu silently swallowed his blood and said, "Thank you brother and sister." ”
There is such an example of her, when she waited for Wei Changying, she secretly said that this time she really thanked her second sister-in-law for setting an example and giving a lesson - Wei Changying didn't mention yesterday's incident, and congratulated them in a decent manner, asked someone to take out a congratulatory gift, and sent them away.
