Wen Xian was still wearing the homely clothes that she had changed after getting up in the morning, her face was thinly powdered, but she couldn't hide her red and swollen eyes, and she didn't wear a few pieces of jewelry on her head. She still looked worried and anxious, and when she saw Liu Dongning, the whole person seemed to be relieved and softened: "Xianggong, are you going back?" ”

Liu Dongning frowned, looked back at the door behind him, the old Wang couple in the concierge had already seen the situation here, the old Wang family seemed to have gone to report the news, and the old Wang looked over here. Liu Dongning felt that his wife's behavior was a little embarrassing, so he walked over and reprimanded in a low voice: "What are you doing?" Look what you look like now."

Wen Xian blushed, bit her lip, lowered her head and whispered: "I went to ask my mother-in-law for peace in the morning, and my mother-in-law asked where Xianggong went, and I told the truth, and my mother-in-law got angry and urged me to pick up Xianggong back, saying that she was afraid that Xianggong would be wronged here......"

Liu Dongning sighed secretly in his heart, and his tone slowed down a little: "Mother is too worried, I came to see my brother, what grievances can I suffer?" Why didn't you persuade your mother to say a few words, but she really came? Look at you like this, when my brother and sister-in-law saw it, they thought I had treated you badly. ”

Wen Xian was full of grievances, tears rolled in her eyes, and she bit her lip silently. Her eyes were red and swollen, wasn't he the fault last night? She clearly sent Shiqin to invite him back to the room, but he still rested in the study, so where did she put her face? This morning he hurriedly dropped two sentences and ran out of the house, without saying a word to the elders, but when his mother-in-law asked about his whereabouts, she had to bear the blame of her mother-in-law alone, if it wasn't for her mother-in-law's urging, how could she run out in a hurry? She naturally knows that her current appearance is not good-looking, but she can't delay what her mother-in-law tells her to do, right? How could this be her fault?

Liu Dongning actually didn't really blame her, he naturally knew what his mother's temper was, but he just taught her to be obedient: "If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, just send a little girl to find me, as long as I go back and show my face in front of my mother, she won't have time to ask if you went to find me in person." Also, my eyes are swollen like this, I don't know if I want to ask the girl to find some medicine to wipe it? I'm in a hurry to go out in the morning, and I haven't had time to ask you, what happened last night? I didn't do anything, why are you crying like this? ”

Wen Xian flattened her mouth, lowered her head and didn't speak, but her eyes were red again. Seeing this, Liu Dongning turned his head away angrily.

At this time, the porter Lao Wang and his wife came over to invite: "Second Master Ning, Second Grandma Ning, our eldest * grandmother heard that Second Grandma Ning is here, and we want to invite Second Master and Second Grandma to go in and sit again." ”

Wen Xian's face turned pale when she heard this, Liu Dongning didn't notice it, just nodded with a smile, turned back to his wife and said, "Since you're here, go in and sit down, you can also borrow your sister-in-law's place to clean up." ”

Wen Xian bit her lip and whispered: "I look like this, and I haven't prepared a gift, how can I come to the door?" I don't have to call ...... I don't know how to be polite when people laugh at me, so I'd better come back another day. ”

Liu Dongning frowned: "The people who live here are not outsiders, they are brothers and sisters-in-law, you and your sister-in-law are still your sisters, how can your family be so exquisite?" ”

Wen Xian was very insistent and refused to enter the door no matter what. Not to mention that she has never been dressed up brightly now, just with those red and swollen eyes, she can't appear in front of Wen Yi - isn't that clearly telling the other party that she is not doing well? She is the most beautifully married among the sisters, in contrast, when Wen Yi was engaged, Liu Dongxing was just a white body, and he didn't even know his birth name, although he had an official position, he couldn't compare with the prominent family of the university scholar, how could she accept it if she exposed her shortcomings in front of her noble sisters, who were not as good as her? If it weren't for Liu Gu's urging, she wouldn't even want to come to this alley

Liu Dongning saw that she was unwilling, and he was a little annoyed in his heart: "Not entering the door is the most unruly behavior, why are you so stubborn?" When he thought of his brother and sister-in-law's good treatment of him, he felt more and more ashamed, and when he looked at his wife, he was dissatisfied: "It's still like this for your closest relatives, and your temperament is a little boring."

Wen Xian's eyes turned red again, and she was so aggrieved that tears fell straight down. Seeing her like this, Liu Dongning felt that instead of letting her lose face in front of her brother and sister-in-law, it was better to return home, so he turned back to Lao Wang and said: "Shouldn't I make amends for my brother and sister-in-law, their brother and daughter-in-law seem to be a little unwell, and they dare not bother, so we will go back and come back another day to apologize to my brother and sister-in-law." After that, he turned around and glanced at his wife, flicked his sleeves: "Let's go" and helped the little man to get on the horse, and ordered the coachman to drive the carriage to turn around and leave.

Wen Yi heard Mama Wang report what happened in front of the door, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart, what is Wen Xian doing? Thinking about the fact that she had never treated her badly, she had nothing to do, and when she encountered her own bad luck, she also warned her to go back without pain, and there was no revenge afterwards, but she has always been unable to forget the past, but it is Wen Xian herself who is nominally a sister and a concubine, and she actually passed the door without entering, and it was spread out, and she was not afraid of people laughing off her big teeth

Mama Wang also whispered: "I saw it on the door, Grandma Ning Er's eyes were swollen, and she must have cried a lot yesterday or this morning." In the past, I always heard people say that Ning Er's grandmother is a very well-behaved lady, and everyone under us believes it - as long as you think that Ning Er's grandmother and the big * grandmother are sisters, and the big * milk is such a prominent person, you will know that she is not bad. I didn't expect Grandma Ning to come to someone else's house like this......"

Wen Yi smiled and thanked her for the compliment, rewarded her with a piece of material, and sent the person away, before walking into the Xinuan Pavilion and saying to Liu Dongxing: "My fifth sister didn't know what grievances she had suffered in her mother-in-law's house, she cried so much that her eyelids were swollen, and she didn't even care about dressing in a hurry, so she ran over to pick up people, as if she came a little late, and your brother would be eaten by us." ”

Liu Dongxing had just changed into clean clothes and was tying his clothes, when he heard this, he raised his head and smiled: "Needless to say, it must be a good thing done by my second aunt." She was weak in her own heart, so she always thought that I would harm their mother and son. It's really ridiculous, when I lived together before, I didn't do any harm, but now that the family has moved out, will I still do it? Dealing with them, just hitting them, that's what only a fool would do. You see, just now I just moved my mouth, Brother Ning was happy and convinced of me, and when he got home, no matter what the second aunt said, her dearest and most beloved son would dismiss it for me sentence by sentence. That's when it was fun."

Wen Yi glanced at him, walked over to tidy up his clothes for him, and said, "I see that the second brother treats you well, will it be too unkind for you to coax him like this?" ”

Liu Dongxing smiled: "I'm already very kind, it's just to coax him a few words, and he won't lose a hair." Besides, he is a person who understands the truth, and his temperament is quite gentle, but he is too cowardly, and he is pretentious. Don't look at him anxiously coming to me to ask me now, in fact, how could he have ever cared about such a thing in the past? If it weren't for the fact that things threatened the peace and prosperity of his family, he wouldn't have time to pay attention to it. Such a person is most suitable for being an idler, it is impossible to have a big career, rather than not being able to write in the capital, and not mixing in martial arts, it is better to go back to his hometown, with the name of the former Shangshu Gongzi, but he can still be beautiful for a few years. ”

Wen Yi said angrily: "Your mouth is getting more and more mean." I won't tell you. He turned around and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Liu Dongxing, and said coquettishly: "Good lady, I won't say anything more, don't be annoyed." After a few words of coaxing, Wen Yi was not really angry, and when she saw his appearance, her face couldn't stand up, and she laughed a lot.

After laughing, Wen Yi gasped and broke away from his embrace, straightened her hair slightly, and glanced at him: "Don't make trouble, early in the morning, you haven't even eaten yet, why don't you feel hungry?" I asked someone to make a good soup, the most nourishing and invigorating blood, you give me an extra bowl to eat. With that, he raised his voice and told the girl to bring the soup hot.

Liu Dongxing sat up again with a smile, took her hand, and said with a straight face: "Brother Ning is not a big evil, but when I saw him, I really couldn't get close, in fact, I didn't have the intention of harming him." ”

"I know." Wen Yi smiled slightly, "You have a deep grudge in your heart, and it will be difficult for you to be sincere and affectionate to them." For example, I have not been angry with the long house since I was a child, so I only count the courtesies on my face to the elders, and I can't make love to my brothers and sisters, although I talk and laugh. Just like the situation at the door just now, although I knew that the fifth sister had been wronged, I didn't plan to go to the Shilang Mansion to report the news and ask her mother's family to support her. ”

Liu Dongxing said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it's interesting for you to teach your daughter. I've seen almost all the sisters in your family, from those who have been married for many years to those who are only a few years old, but how do I think that none of them are good except for you? ”

Wen Yi smiled: "Where did it get to this point?" For example, the tenth sister is good, but she is more straightforward and less scheming, and there are a few sisters, and there is nothing bad about her temperament, some are gentle and peaceful, some are lively and laughing, and there are soft and rigid outside, although she is not close to me, but it does not mean that she is not a good daughter. The hall sister who has been married is a gentle and amiable person, a husband and a child, and has a good reputation in her in-law's family, but she is not born in a long house, so her reputation in Pingyang is not loud, and she rarely returns to her parents' home. ”

Liu Dongxing shook his head: "I don't know about the people in the other rooms, but I am most familiar with your Gu family, except for the sixth room, the long room." I just think that there is no rule in teaching my daughter in the long room, look at my second aunt, and the sixth lady, I heard that the eleventh sister is not very good, and now look at this fifth aunt who has always been known for her gentleness and grace...... I'm really glad in my heart that you weren't born in a long house. ”

Wen Yi was stunned, thought about it carefully, and sighed: "Although I am young, I have heard my grandmother mention the past. In the past, the reputation of the Gu family's daughter was praised by everyone. The lessons taught by the boudoirs in the clan not only include poetry, female red, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also female virtues, and the girls taught are not only knowledgeable and courteous, but also elegant and calm. Three generations ago, there was even a daughter in our clan who had both ability and moral integrity, who was selected to be a female official in the palace to teach the princess and the county lord their homework. But then it ...... After the eldest lady of the long house succeeded to the position of patriarch, the curriculum was revised in the boudoir, and the four arts of poetry and literature were all behind, and the female virtue was only a general talk, but the mundane affairs such as the housekeeper and the director were brought up, and the daughter was taught to only focus on practice, but it was a little stricter in discipline. ”

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment before continuing: "Back then, there were two very outstanding girls in the clan, one was in the second room, and the other was in the eighth room, both of whom were heavily blamed for very small things...... It's dead. Since then, there has never been a truly outstanding daughter in the clan, and the words and deeds are all disciplined by the parents of each house. I said don't laugh at you, I have a cousin, is an excellent example, because she has studied in the boudoir for a few years, she has always been polite and knowledgeable in front of people, but she is very mean when she talks and acts behind her back, and she likes to be inflammatory. I'm always glad that if it weren't for my grandmother to protect me, I wouldn't know where I'd be going to end up now. ”

Liu Dongxing held her hand tightly and smiled comfortingly: "What are you doing mentioning those bad things?" Now that you are my wife, you will naturally come to our house. And what do you do with your people, who have not been merciful to thee? ”

Wen Yi smiled and said, "Although I am married to you, my grandmother still has to go back to live, and I still have a younger brother...... The clansmen can't get rid of it, and you are the same, if there is something you can befriend, treat them politely, and ignore those who are mean. ”

Dongxing lowered his head and smiled, with a slight force in his hand, he pulled her, pressed her on his lap and hugged her, and didn't speak for a long time.

Liu Dongxing had a ten-day vacation this time, first spent three days at home, and made love to his new wife, but there was not enough, but others couldn't wait. Although the Liu family has not been here since Liu Dongning came to the door that day, the Gu family sent someone to send a post, inviting Mrs. Lu, Liu Dongxing and Wen Yi to go to the Chongyang Chrysanthemum Banquet two days later. In addition to the invitation post, the visitor also attached a handwritten letter from Wen An, his birthday was on the eighteenth, and he turned sixteen this year.

Dongxing looked at the letter in his hand helplessly, raised his head and smiled bitterly at Wen Yi.

Wen Yi instructed Qiu Guo: "Go and tell the person who sent the letter, we will go, and give him a second-class seal." Qiuguo went, and she said to the eastbound: "The eldest uncle and grandmother have indicated that they want to invite their grandmother to go, but they can't be pushed." Let's go. If your uncles want you to do something, you feel embarrassed, just say no, there is nothing to worry about. ”

Dongxing sighed and raised the letter in his hand: "Wen'an, this kid will cause me trouble." Okay, since we are going to the Gu family for a banquet, before that, we have to go to the Liu family first. ”

Wen Yi hurriedly said, "Didn't you say you couldn't see your second uncle?" ”

Dongxing raised his eyebrows: "I didn't say I wanted to see him?" ”

Wen Yi was puzzled, what did this mean?。.。
