Chapter 273: Strange Things
Chapter 273: All kinds of abnormalities
The female guests from outside the world have been praising Liu Dongning non-stop, whether it is Liu Gu's family or the Gu family, they all laughed when they heard it, and they had to be humble in their mouths: "Where is he so good?" You've won a prize. Or: "Your eldest son is the real young talent." In the midst of this harmony, a young lady got up with a smile and walked to the edge of the round light mask, lifted the curtain and looked in, and said, "Where are the six girls?" I haven't seen her for several years, Hengzhu is an aunt and brother and sister, I have been playing together since I was a child, and I didn't see her avoid her in the past, why is it embarrassing today? β
Hearing this, everyone was silent and looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Liu Gu smiled, Jiang turned white, and Liu Dongning was stunned.
The lady didn't notice it, but looked at the person in the back room a little sneeringly: "Isn't the sixth girl there?" But just ......" Wen Xian's face turned white, Wen Juan was in a hurry, and stood up suddenly: "This lady ......" but Wen Xian grabbed her arm and dragged her to prevent her from speaking. Wen Ya showed a mocking look on the side.
When Wen Yi saw this situation, she didn't know how to deal with it, she looked at this lady, and she didn't know what the origin was, but the people who could welcome the guests in this house were naturally close to them, how could they not even know the candidates for the Gu Liu family to marry? It can't be intentional, right?
Jiang Yao didn't wake up until this time, and immediately showed a sweet smile, and stepped forward to say to the wife: "Mrs. Qu, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you just returning to Beijing?" How early or late will you come back? Is Big Sister Qu here too? I haven't seen her for more than three years, and it's strange to think that she didn't say anything to me when she came back......" That Mrs. Qu was attracted by her call, temporarily put aside Fang Cai's doubts, and responded with a smile: "It's only been a few days since I came back, and the house is in a mess, no, it was almost cleaned up yesterday, just in time for today's good day for the eldest son Gu." Your sister is at home, she was infected with a cold on the road, so she took medicine, and she was slightly better, so I didn't dare to ask her to go out......"
Mrs. Qu was still chattering there, and there was a sudden commotion outside, mixed with Liu Gu's exclamation: "Brother Ning" also had Liu Su's voice: "Big brother, are you okay?" The people in the room didn't know what was going on, Mrs. Qu hurriedly went out to look, Wen Juan quickly ran to the round light mask to look out, just one glance, then covered her mouth, turned around and whispered: "Cousin Liu fainted"
Wen Xian was shocked, and she couldn't stop panicking on her face: "How could you faint?" Wen Juan continued to look at it, Wen Yi frowned, hurriedly pulled her, lifted the curtain and went out, only to see a bunch of people outside in a circle, among them was Liu Dongning, who collapsed to the ground with his eyes closed, Liu Gu was holding his son, pinching others in panic, next to Liu Su who kept fanning the wind, Liu Dongjun stood on the side with a serious face, and Aunt Bai squeezed in with tea, and said earnestly: "It's probably too hot, my brother is weak, so I have heat stroke, Mrs. feed my brother a sip of tea." β
Liu Gu didn't appreciate it, he didn't pay attention to it, he just cried there: "My son, wake up quickly, don't scare your mother"
Liu Yin stood on the periphery and looked at it coldly, with disdain in her eyes: "Didn't Madam say that she had already called the imperial doctor to see it, and the eldest brother would be fine?" Why can't you support it after only a while? The third brother is sick all day long, and he is not so weak."
Liu Gu raised his head angrily and scolded: "Black-hearted little prostitute, you shut up for me, your brother is just sick for a while, you curse him like this, what kind of heart do you have?" He scolded Aunt Bai again: "Why don't you take out the nasty seeds you gave birth to?" I said I couldn't bring them here, I didn't have to lose the face of the Liu family."
A trace of hurt flashed on Aunt Bai's face, her eyes were red, and she stood aggrievedly and lowered her head without speaking, but won the sympathy of several wives and grandmothers present. Liu Yin was unconvinced and wanted to refute, but she stopped her, and the mother and daughter pulled inconspicuously for a while, and Aunt Bai weakly took Liu Yin out. Liu Dongjun was about to follow, but before he got out of the threshold, he was intercepted by Duan's girl, and together with his biological mother and sister, he was invited to another small flower hall.
Wen Yi saw that the scene was not decent, but instead called the female guests who came to congratulate him to see the joke, so he walked over to support his grandmother, and said to the old lady: "Brother Ning is unwell, it is better to ask someone to carry it to the side room, and invite the doctor to take a look, such a mess is not very good for the patient." Mrs. Yu woke up like a dream, hurriedly suppressed the panic and worry in her heart, and instructed Ruyi and others: "Quickly call a few powerful mothers-in-law" and walked over to comfort her daughter: "Don't panic, maybe it's really heat stroke." Nowadays, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the house is stuffy, and the children can't stand it for a while. Carry him quickly to the wing, where there is a cleaned bed, which is quieter than here. β
Liu Gu came to his senses at this time, calmed down a little, and saw the mother-in-law come in to carry people, because he was not at ease, he asked all the way to accompany him, and Liu Su naturally accompanied him. As soon as they left, everyone in the room felt a little embarrassed. Duan smiled and said, "The eldest nephew went to greet his relatives and walked for a long time, why hasn't he come back yet?" I'll call someone to urge, but don't miss the auspicious time" Jiang Shi also got up, and said a little uncomfortably: "I'll go ahead to see how the banquet is prepared, please sit down." The two of them went away.
Mrs. Yu had to invite the guests to return to their seats, Wen Yi helped her grandmother to sit down, and started to talk, from the auspicious time of Wen Xian's great joy to the bride's family history, and then extended to the family background of all the female guests present, and finally let these wives and grandmothers unexpectedly discover the common relatives of the two families, and the scene became lively again, and no one mentioned the two embarrassing things just now.
Mrs. Lu gave her granddaughter a look, Wen Yi understood, quietly got out, and returned to the inner room to sit down, her mouth was already dry. Jiang Yao poured a large cup of tea for her with a very good look, and whispered with a smile: "It's hard for you, in fact, Mrs. Qu has not returned to the capital since she went to the post of Lord Qu three years ago. β
Wen Yi sighed, poured the whole cup of tea, finally relieved herself, and re-held the pot and poured it again, but caught a glimpse of Wen Xian who had left the table at some point and shrunk to the Luohan bed in the corner. Duan Kerou was whispering to comfort her beside her, but no matter what Duan Kerou said, the shame on her face never disappeared, but instead bit her lower lip to the point of bleeding.
Seeing Wen Xian like this, Wen Yi also felt a little unbearable in her heart. Although she is not optimistic about this marriage, she also doesn't want to see Wen Xian become the object of ridicule before she gets married. After thinking about it, she got up and walked over, wanting to persuade a few good words, but she heard Duan Kerou whisper there: "...... I think it's because the illness hasn't healed yet, I went to Liu's house with my aunt, and I heard from his family that Cousin Liu has been seriously ill since that flower-viewing party, and he has not broken the root of the disease, and he has been raising it for a long time before he gets better, but his body is not as good as others......" Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Wen Yi coming, so he stopped, and got up and smiled a little unnaturally: "Ninth sister." β
Wen Yi smiled back, and said to Wen Xian: "Fifth sister, don't think too much, there are many people outside, and there is still an incense burner, I have only been out for a while, and I feel tightness in my chest, let alone someone who has just recovered from a serious illness?" But since the second aunt brought her children over, she thought that she was confident and knew that there would be no big problem, but she didn't expect the house to be too stuffy. β
Wen Xian smiled reluctantly: "I know, the ninth sister doesn't have to worry." I didn't think much of it. β
This is clearly a lot of thinking
But Wen Yi saw that she didn't want to talk anymore, and she couldn't say anything, so she glanced at Duan Kerou and left. Outsiders don't know, but Wen Yi has heard some rumors, Liu Dongning was not sick that time, but he called Second Uncle Liu to beat him, and it was not good to hear about it, so the Liu family only said that he was sick, and people who didn't know thought that he was sick because of a change in marriage.
Wen Yi returned to the table and sat down, Jiang Yao was about to say something to her, but suddenly heard the girl outside report that the Shen family's wife had brought Miss Shen over, so she had to shut up.
The guests were brought in by the Duan family, Wen Yi hurriedly went out to help with the entertainment, talking and laughing, only to catch a glimpse of Duan Kerou who left Wen Xian at some point, and pulled Miss Shen to sit in the corner and talk.
Fortunately, no one brought up the embarrassing topic next, and Mrs. Qu seemed to know from others which two children of Liu Gu's two families were married, and understood that she had said the wrong thing, so she kept laughing cautiously, and hardly made a sound. Finally, the auspicious time is approaching, the groom Wenxian came back with a sedan chair, everyone was busy and happily went to watch the ceremony, and Liu Dongning, who woke up, also appeared, except that his face was slightly pale, and his actions did not show weakness.
Wen Yi has been following her grandmother's body, helping to take care of the old lady at the same time, and occasionally looking back to take care of a few sisters. She felt sorry for her grandmother and was afraid that the old man would be tired, so she persuaded Mrs. Lu to stay in the Shilang Mansion for one night, and took the girl back by car.
The second day is the day when the newlyweds meet. Wen Yi cheered up and rushed over early in the morning. The new sister-in-law, Ge Shi, is a well-read, courteous woman with elegant words and deeds, who has already dressed up and dressed, followed behind her husband Wenxian, three steps behind, and went to the main courtyard to meet her in-laws. After serving tea to his in-laws, he went to kowtow to the old lady. Mrs. Lu also received a great gift from them because she borrowed it for one night in the Shilang Mansion, and when they met for the first time, she gave Ge a pair of jasper bracelets with good texture.
After meeting the elders, Wenxian led his wife to meet his brothers and sisters.
Wen Yi saw that the Ge family looked elegant and behaved dignified, and during the action, the beads and pendants on the head of the phoenix hairpin did not shake for a moment, although the hibiscus mandarin duck was tied around the waist, and there were gold, silver, beads and jade decorations, but he did not make a sound at all, he spoke unhurriedly, and his voice was soft, but he was elegant and organized, and he was also generous in handling things, and he couldn't help but feel close in his heart.
Ge had heard of several sisters-in-law of her husband's family when she was at home, and at a glance, except for the sister-in-law who was famous for her beauty in sixth place, several sisters-in-law in the clan were all together, one was a little gloomy and restrained in silence, one was straightforward and straightforward, one had a sweet smile but thorny words, and the other was dignified and gentle, but also kind, always looked at herself with gentle eyes, and always blocked the sarcasm of others for herself, so that she couldn't help but feel a little good. It's just that this sister-in-law is not only in the next room, but also dressed as a woman, and when she thought about it carefully, she knew that it was the one in the sixth room of the Gu clan, who was married to Liu Dongxing, a martial arts general who had made great achievements in the frontier not long ago.
Ge's mother's family has been scholarly for generations, and it is not the same as the military attachΓ©, but her husband is also from the imperial examination, and she has just squeezed into the officialdom, which makes her involuntarily feel close to Wen Yi, and after talking for a while, they both feel happy in their hearts, and secretly decide to be more cordial in the future.
Ge is the new daughter-in-law, and since she wants to be close, it is naturally impossible to delay too long with the sisters-in-law, and after a while, Jiang ordered someone to call them husband and wife. After Wen Xian and Ge Shi left, Wen Yi sat down to chat with the sisters, Jiang Yao hesitated for a moment, and then began to whisper to her: "Ninth sister, we may not have seen our friends for a long time, I wonder what they are doing now?" The eldest lady of the Ruan family heard that she had also begun to discuss marriage, and when the matter was settled, it would be difficult to go out. β
Wen Yi said with a smile: "Miss Ruan is also at the age of saying goodbye, my sister of the Li family once wrote to me about this, I heard that it was General Xiao Ruan's matchmaker, and the other party was the son of his friend in the army, and he was also a young talent." β
Jiang Yao said: "Xiaojun Qian'er brought a letter, saying that she will go to the suburban imperial village with the princess and the princess in a few days to spend the summer, and I am afraid that she will not be able to see us for a long time." β
Wen Yi blinked and looked at her, "Really?" I haven't been in contact with her for a long time, and since Miss Lin left Beijing, I haven't confiscated her letters, and you still have contact with her? "Now that the situation is settled, if the young ladies of those princes and noble families have no intention of befriending her again, she will naturally not rush to cling to her.
Jiang Yao said: "Occasionally, there are only two letters, the threshold of the palace is high, how dare I disturb from time to time?" After a pause, "I heard that you went to the palace to see the crown princess a few days ago?" β
Wen Yi smiled and nodded: "The queen summoned the families of the meritorious soldiers to talk, and I stopped by to visit." β
Jiang Yao pursed her lips: "I always feel as if a long time has passed, and in the blink of an eye, everyone is separated...... If we don't find a chance to get together again, when Miss Ruan has decided on a family affair, and Xiaojunjun is out of the city again, can we see each other again? Why don't we two sisters be hosts and invite them out for a get-together? β
Wen Yi was a little surprised: "Are we the host?" Yes, yes, but where to go? The two young ladies of the Ruan family are just going back, if even Xiaojunjun is invited over, my house will not dare to entertain, do you want to go to your house? β
Jiang Yao didn't speak, her house is not a big house, only a very small garden, it is really inconvenient to entertain guests.
Wen Yi smiled and said: "If you really have this heart, it is better to wait until the weather is cooler, such as the Double Ninth Festival, let's find a good garden, rent a day together, and invite them to play together." At this time, you are too anxious, and this house is also very busy, and the eldest aunt may not be willing to let you out. Then he asked, "Why did you come up with this idea?" β
Jiang Yao laughed dryly: "I just thought of it suddenly." Seeing that Wen Yi was going to ask again, he opened the topic: "Don't talk about this, I have something to tell you, in the past two days, the words and deeds of the Duan family's sister have been a little weird, I can't say anything, you pay attention to it, don't have an accident." β
Wen Yi was stunned: "Weird? What's weird? βγ.γ
