Chapter 7: Dilemma
Xie Zhiyun was bored in his heart, but he kept a just right smile on his lips.
Those mocking words didn't seem to be heard at all, but he replied softly: "Aunt Xie clicked, and her nephew and daughter-in-law will behave carefully in the world, and she will not disgrace the Wei family and the Xie family's lintel." ”
That's a beautiful thing to say.
not only revealed the mind of the family, but also made up for Wei Ying, resolving the embarrassment on the table.
However, Wei Ying was blind, unable to see the embarrassment of the full table, nor the smile on Xie Zhiyun's face.
The corners of her drooping eyes were slightly raised, and the sharp edge in her eyes hit Xie Zhiyun again.
"Sure enough, she is a lady from the Xie family, and her mouth is really neat."
That's a bit ugly.
Xie Zhiyun saw that Wei Ying was coming for her, so this time she didn't even respond to the scene, and only lowered her head aggrievedly.
Wei Cang's face remained unchanged, and he only touched Cui Ji lightly, and Cui Ji was about to open his mouth to dissuade him.
Unexpectedly, this time it was the garrison who spoke.
The halberd picked up his wine glass, stood up and stood side by side with Xie Zhiyun.
He bowed to Wei Ying from afar, his slender posture was like an eagle with wings spread, shielding the chicks behind him from the wind and snow.
The halberd's voice was crisp, like the ringing of a bell, echoing in the listening room.
"My aunt came home from afar, and I am not familiar with the whole family, and it is also common sense, Xie's century-old lintel has been the pillar of the country since the pre-Qin period, and the family education in the clan is needless to say, my aunt is worried about it, but she doesn't have to mind too much."
Xie Zhiyun was speechless in surprise.
She blinked her apricot garden eyes, and secretly glanced at the thick back of the halberd, and the cat in her heart kept crawling.
Wei Ying also didn't have a good eye for Wei Ji, but she knew what proportion was at the moment, looked at Wei Ji and smiled reluctantly, and said, "What are you doing so seriously, it's just a few jokes with your wife, it's unbelievable." ”
Wei Ji didn't speak, he drank all the wine in the cup neatly, his right hand slid down, and grabbed Xie Zhiyun's wrist.
As soon as he exerted a slight force on his hand, the heat swept in, almost igniting the temperature of Xie Zhiyun's wrist.
Xie Zhiyun was unconsciously dragged back to the chair by him.
After introducing them, it was time for the two-room couple.
Cui Ji said with a smile: "Yao'er's wife is from a martial arts family, from the Lido Yu clan, her father is Yu Feihu, the general of Shangzhu State, and her grandfather is a brother who worships the son. ”
Wei Ying's gaze fell on Yu Hanzhao, this time his face was much softer, and there was love in his eyes.
Xie Zhiyun found that she was really a thousand faces, her face changed faster than turning a book, and she didn't hide it, and she knew that she was a capable person at a glance.
Sure enough, in the face of Yu Hanzhao, who was born in the martial arts, her attitude was much better: "It's better to be a girl from the martial family, look at this neat appearance, it is suitable to be my daughter-in-law of the Wei family." ”
Yu Hanzhao didn't talk much, and she didn't know how to talk about these scenes, she just bowed her hand, and sat down after a glass of wine with Wei Ying.
The eyes of everyone in the hall fell on Ji Xiuxiu.
Cui Ji's smile remained unchanged: "This is Rong'er's wife Ji Xiuxiu, who was born in the Taixing Ji family, is good at business in the family, and is a famous righteous businessman in the eight states under the rule of my grandfather." ”
This introduction added glory to Ji Xiuxiu.
But with the battle of words as soon as Fang Cai entered the door, Wei Ying obviously didn't like Ji Xiuxiu's flamboyance and rudeness.
She glanced at Ji Xiuxiu, and saw her standing up and saluting herself, her face was slightly cold: "Sister-in-law, but there is no good daughter in Bazhou under the rule of the eldest brother?" Why did you choose such a lady to enter the house? ”
Although it is a chaotic matter now, the samurai family is prosperous, and the gate valve is standing, but the merchant is good at business and can support the samurai, and he also has a place in the clan.
In troubled times, those who can are respected.
What's more, the Ji family is not an ordinary businessman, and now the entire eight states under the rule of the Duke of Su have their business names, and there are all seven things to open the door, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the emperor is a businessman.
Ji Xiuxiu's artillery temperament, why don't you blow it up at a point?
Xie Zhiyun sat there obediently as her Mrs. Boqian, her earlobes dilated slightly, and she wanted to hear a scolding fight immediately.
As a result, Ji Xiuxiu lowered her head like that, held the wine, and didn't move, but she endured it.
This time, Wei Rong also came out to play a round: "Auntie, the food is going to be cold, and my nephew is a little hungry, why don't you eat earlier?" ”
Wei Ying snorted at this time: "That's it, if you marry all of you, what else can you say?" ”
Xie Zhiyun saw that Ji Xiuxiu's hand holding the wine glass was bruised, but he still didn't say a word, drank the wine and sat down.
Wei Cang smiled and said: "Okay, okay, eat vegetables, eat vegetables, several daughters-in-law are good children, very good, very good!" ”
With his words, the atmosphere in the listening room was much better.
The Wei family has never had a rule of not eating or sleeping, or rather, the Wei family has no rules.
During the banquet, Xie Zhiyun had been eating quietly, and the sound of Wei Cang and Wei Ying talking in his ears seemed to be talking about Shen Wenru's condition, and every word was worried.
But for Wen Chun, who only heard the name, no one in the family mentioned it.
Xie Zhiyun has been married into the Suguo Mansion for more than two months, and he has never heard anyone mention Shen Wenchun, let alone such a cousin in the family.
Xie Zhiyun thought a lot in his heart, but his face was silent.
She was eating a piece of bamboo shoots with chopsticks, when she heard the halberd next to her whisper: "This dish is spicy." ”
Do you even know that she is not good at eating hard?
Xie Zhiyun raised his eyebrows, and the hand holding the bamboo shoots trembled slightly, and the bamboo shoots as thin as cicada wings fell into the white porcelain plate of the guard halberd.
"Husband, please use it."
Xie Zhiyun smiled and looked at the halberd gently, the halberd was silent for a moment, and the deep starry eyes fell down, and a faint glance fell on her slender wrist.
He doesn't have so many rules, and he is not picky about food, clothing, housing and transportation, so he will not refuse the dishes that Xie Zhiyun put on the plate.
The guard said, "Thank you, madam." ”
As he said this, he took the two pieces of bamboo shoots into his mouth and chewed them carefully, and after a while, his starry eyes lifted and his gaze fell on Xie Zhiyun's face.
"It's delicious."
Somehow, Xie Zhiyun only felt that his face was like fire.
Their husband and wife are here "eyebrows", but the elders around them are a sword and sword, fighting and shaking.
When Xie Zhiyun's blush dissipated, he heard Wei Ying's sharp voice in his ears.
"Although there is a reason for the incident, Yao'er and Rong'er got married earlier than Boqian, after all, they are younger brothers, how can they go past the eldest brother? The eldest brother is really a little eccentric. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the listening room.
Wei Cangquan didn't seem to be aware of it, and only said with a smile: "At that time, North Vietnam had been fighting for several years, Bo Qian was leading the troops, and the two younger brothers in the family had grown up. ”
On the surface, the Sima clan still held the imperial power in North Vietnam, but in fact, eight of the sixteen states in North Vietnam only obeyed the orders of the Suguo Prince.
However, at present, there is a safe and secure border in Beiyue, and there is no beacon fire on the surface, which can be regarded as national peace and security.
Wei Cang said that the marriage between Wei Yao and Wei Rong was a special gift from Emperor Apocalypse himself, and it could be regarded as a good gesture between Yingzhou and Yezhou.
Wei Ying's face was a little pale, she looked at Wei Yao and Yu Hanzhao, and there was a little more kindness between her eyebrows.
"That's it."
After that, Wei Ying didn't say anything more, and when the meal was finished, Wei Cang got up and said: "I still have something ahead of me, you stay in the main courtyard and talk for a while, get acquainted with each other, and rest until you are tired." ”
Wei Cang left this "kindness", and strode away with his hands behind his back, completely unaware of the torrent surging behind him.
When the grandfather was gone, the servants immediately withdrew the food from the table, replaced the tea and fruit in the hall, and invited them to move and chat.
Naturally, Cui Ji and Wei Ying sat on the main seat together, and the second lady and the sons and daughters of the sons and daughters were below.
Xie Zhiyun sat next to the halberd, and when he saw that there were oranges on the table, he glanced at Chao Yu, and Chao Yu stood behind them peeling oranges.
The sweet taste penetrated into his nasal cavity, making Xie Zhiyun sober up a lot.
At this time, Wei Ying opened his mouth.
"Yao'er and his wife have been married for more than a year, but they have no children for a long time, so they still have to think more about the Wei family and start their branches for the Wei family as soon as possible."
"There are still too few sons in this family."
Xie Zhiyun can see that this Aunt Wei Ying's return to the Wei family this time is to come back to find faults, and she has to turn the Suguo Mansion upside down.
Grandpa Ranguo was ashamed of her, and he couldn't bear to reprimand, so he was just listening to the ceremony, because Grandpa Youguo was still a little restrained in her, and now he is a little completely disregarded.
When Cui Ji heard this, the smile on her face remained unchanged, she personally poured a bowl of tea for Wei Ying, and said, "They are still young." ”
She said this, and said: "Besides, even if Yao'er and Rong'er get married first, they can't be in a hurry, and they still have to wait for Boqian to have an heir, which is safer." ”
The Wei family came from a humble background, and it was a luxury to survive in the early years, where there were so many rules, but now that they live in this Suguo Mansion, everything is different.
It is not appropriate for the youngest son to get married before the eldest brother, if he has the eldest grandson first, it is even more rude, even if Wei Cang himself doesn't care, how will people outside view their family?
So it's a good thing that they don't have children for a while.
Xie Zhiyun nodded in his heart when he heard this, and felt that this mother-in-law was quite sensible, although she was a side branch of the Cui family, she was much stronger than this aunt.
Wei Ying seemed to be very satisfied with this answer, she picked up the teacup and took a shallow sip, and said: "Sister-in-law, there are still too few children in the family, and now the eldest brother is already a big hero, and there are only five children in the family, and the heirs are really thin." ”
The smile on Cui Ji's face was a little unbearable, she lowered her head and sighed: "It's mine, it's not." ”
Wei Ying changed her words: "If you want me to say, the sister-in-law in front is more virtuous, when Boqian was just born, she immediately chose a concubine for her eldest brother, so as to spread the branches and leaves for the family." ”
Wei Ying said this, glanced at the expressionless halberd below, and wiped away the non-existent tears with a handkerchief.
"Back then, the family was difficult, the eldest sister-in-law ate bran by herself, and she had to give the food to me and my eldest brother, every time I recall those years, I always think of the eldest sister-in-law's kind appearance."
"It's a pity that the world is difficult, she went too early, and she didn't enjoy the wealth she has now." Wei Ying's gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the hall one by one, and finally fell on the face of the second lady Lu.
"It's a blessing for some people who can't be on the stage."
