Facts have proved that Cheng Song, who speaks righteously, is not very reliable when it comes to doing things. Shao Shang entered his carriage full of expectations, but found that there was no brazier in the car.
In the middle of winter, a carriage without a brazier is just a cold and desolate little black house. It has no other use except to keep out the wind. Finally, Shao Shang found a thick felt pad from under the car board and quickly wrapped it around him. I regret that I didn't get Yuan Shen's brazier and fluffy blanket along just now.
Cheng Song heard that the younger sister sneezed again behind him, and was also very anxious, and drove more and more hastily. Fortunately, the Wancheng family was not far away. Song turned his head and said happily in the car: "Don't worry, it's here!"
Shao Shang was snot out of his nose. Hearing the words, he quickly opened the car door. In the cold wind pouring in, he saw a crowd surrounded by the gate of Wanfu. Among the people in the circle, the red-faced, fat-bellied Abo was Wan Songbai, who seemed to be seeing off guests.
At this time, the sun has set, and the horizon is surrounded by a looming afterglow. It is the twilight that is gradually sinking, and the people in front of the Wanfu Gate are divided into two groups of people who are black and white like a Tai Chi gossip. The group of people dressed in splendid clothes, with a smile on their face, was undoubtedly the entourage of the Wan family.
The other group of more than ten people were all black-clothed and black-armored health guards, all with bows on their arms, heavy swords on their waists, and snow-white feathers on their backs, reflecting the bone-chilling weather. Light Iron Clothes'.
When they saw a carriage rushing towards here in a panic, they only heard a few swipes. Taking a step forward, he shouted sharply: "Who's coming?"
Cheng Song was taken aback, he used all his strength to restrain the reins, and shouted at the same time, "Uncle Wan, it's me, it's me..." The
carriage jolted and slanted, and the young Shang was also terrified, thinking that he was about to suffer an ancient car accident, and clinging to the frame of the car tightly.
Wan Songbai was half awakened by the drunkenness, and quickly waved his hands and said loudly: "Oh, this is not... No, that, Master Ling, this is my own person, my own nephew and niece... Don't do it, Don't do it..."
At this time, the group of black armored soldiers separated, and a young man in a black curved robe appeared. He was extremely tall and had a black animal hair cloak, which was fastened with dark gold threads and black jade. They were all tied with heavy gold-studded arm horns.
He seemed to glance at Shaoshang's side, then turned slightly to the side, and bowed his hand towards Wan Songbai, saying, "Your Excellency is drunk today, I will worship again in the coming day." After leaving, he turned and walked away.
Not far away, there stood a huge, pitch-black carriage, with a lacquered wood frame that was so black, and two tall black horses with four hoofs treading on the snow, and even the bridles were made of pitch-black smelted iron. Before boarding the carriage, he raised his right arm, and the guards in black armor all around gathered their swords, surrounded the carriage that was three times the size of Cheng's carriage, mounted on horses and walked with them.
The Cheng brothers and sisters were frightened to death, unable to move for a while, and Shao Shang was even welded to the carriage.
Wan Songbai watched the black carriage go away, and quickly stepped forward and said, "Why are you two here? Ouch, curl, what's wrong with your face... Haha, hahaha... It must be your mother who beat you... Don't be afraid, When I go to tell my virtuous brother..."
Cheng Song was still in shock, and tremblingly helped his younger sister to get out of the car, and heard the words loudly: "Abo, you are here again! Don't say that it was my mother who beat us when you see us injured. Yes!"
Shao Shang was also furious and said, "Even if it was my mother who beat me, uncle, you are so happy to see my mother beat me!"
Wan Songbai obviously drank a lot at Yin's house, and his tongue was big when he spoke. Yes, but his mind is not confused, just listen to him laughing: "Don't be stubborn, even if your face was not beaten by your mother, it is because of her that you are hiding today! Alright!... Don't be stunned, come in quickly. , come in quickly..."
... The
ten thousand family's servants, wives and slaves are numerous, and their style is far from comparable to the Cheng family.
Wan Shisanmei was overjoyed when she heard that Shaoshang was coming, and hurriedly came out to greet him. When they met in front of the hall, Shao Shang found that little girl Qiqi was surrounded by more than 20 slaves and servants. Engine lights, and a few top torches on the periphery.
Shao Shang was speechless for a while, and at the same time felt inexplicably shabby. The eldest lady just walked from the house to the front of the hall. It was as noisy as the head of state on a tour. She left home empty-handed for such a big event. She really had little knowledge. One with sugar and one with salt, it's simply too extravagant.
Wan Eqi is a sincere girl, holding Shaoshang's fat pig head and looking left and right, she can't help but feel sad, she hastily asked the servants to carry Shaoshang to her place. When he arrived at the brightly lit courtyard, Shao Shang was horrified to find that there were as many as thirty or forty members of Thirteen Sisters. Then, she enjoyed a large-scale health care service at the level of the platinum giant diamond crown-
distributing heavy grate, soaking her feet in warm water, covering her knees and fingers with a hot handkerchief, then moisturizing her skin, incense and changing clothes, a complete set, less Shang Shu felt as if he had given birth again, and sighed comfortably, regretting in his heart: Why didn't Uncle Wan give birth to a son, she must let Father Cheng marry her!
In this world where the rank system has not yet appeared, the official rank is more used to distinguish the rank, and who really lives on a few rice grains! For example, in this 10,000 family, the family has been a prominent family in Sui County for generations, and the field manor covers 20% of the county's area. In the long run, although his father has more room for promotion than Uncle Wan, for now, the Cheng family is definitely no match for the wealthy Wan family.
Wan Qiqi stood in the middle with her hips on her hips, cursing Yin Yan'e with pimples on her face that would never get better, while directing her maids to serve the young merchants in a crowd like worker ants. After packing up, the new-looking young businessman was led by her to see Mrs. Wan Lao.
Along the way, Shao Shang was apprehensive. She knew in her heart that, except for those slaves who had been disposed of by Mrs. Xiao, only Mrs. Ge and Mrs. Wan could find themselves wrong. Even if it is the former, she will no longer worry about seeing you again after a few years. Unexpectedly, when she entered the new version of Cixin Hall, she was first taken aback by
Mrs. Wan. The fragrance of medicine filled the room, and Mrs. Wan was kneeling in front of an old woman, serving her medicine.
Mrs. Wan's hair is completely white, but the outline of the melon face is still very clear, her nose and lips are full, and her back is straight, especially when she was young, she was very handsome and beautiful, but... Her eyes were lightly closed, under the right eyelid. It was sunken in, obviously the eyeball was gone, and one left ear was missing.
Rao's candle was bright, but there was still an indescribable strangeness on the old woman's face. Fortunately, the bruises on Shao Shang's face hadn't disappeared at this time, otherwise people would have seen her unconcealed surprise. She decided it would be better to say less.
Mrs. Wan Lao's clothes are simple, no jewelry is used, only soft and comfortable clothing is required, and her hair is only tied in a simple round bun with a wooden hairpin. In order to take care of people with eye diseases, the decorations in the house are few and exquisite, such as the incense burner that is exhausted.
The young merchant honestly greeted Mrs. Wan Lao.
Mrs. Wan turned around and smiled: "Young businessman is here, let's stay for a few more days this time. The elder sister above Qiqi is married, and since she returned to the capital, she has been idle and bored all day, and you little sisters are reading books together. , write and write..." When he
heard 'writing', Shao Shang's first reaction was to simply bring Mrs. Xiao's wooden slip here to write, but Wan Qiqi shouted first: "What words to write, I want to teach you Shaoshang is riding a horse! Also, look at Shaoshang's face, Mammy, it's all Yin..."
"Eqi, you haven't picked up those stones from your body." Mrs. Wan suddenly said, "This is It's already nighttime, and it's not too heavy for you to be so full of jingles."
Mrs. Wan snorted, and Shao Shang couldn't help laughing. Indeed, even at home, the thirteenth sister still wears luxurious clothes, and the golden collar hanging like a Christmas tree continues to ding-dong loudly, even the blind can't ignore it.
Wan Ei was shy and defended: "What, big mother, you don't know, now the capital is dressed like this..."
"You can find me another little girl dressed like you, and big mother will give you a call as it is. If you can't find it, you can give it to me." Mrs. Wan said lightly.
Wan Qiqi was wilted, and she went to see her mother pitifully. Mrs. Wan pretended not to see it, just at this moment, General Wan came in with a smile on her face. He had obviously come here after grooming, and his body was no longer smelled of alcohol.
"Young businessman, Zifu has already gone back. I already know what happened. You can stay here for a few more days, or wait for your mother to calm down."
Shao Shang hurriedly fell down and saluted, thanking Wan Abo. Thanks to the bruise on her face, she doesn't even need to pretend to be embarrassed now, no one can see it anyway.
Wan Songbai obviously heard Shicai's words, and turned his head and said, "Mum, your old eyes are inconvenient, in fact, Qiqi looks very good in this way..."
Wan Qiqi looked up at her father, her eyes shining with joy.
Mrs. Wan said: "I like simplicity, your father loves sparseness, but you have been like this since you were a child. I don't know if the midwife was wrong. However, Qiqi is definitely right."
Mrs. Wan and Shaoshang both He lowered his head, trying his best not to laugh.
Wan Songbai smacked his lips and said to his daughter: "Then what, Shao Shang is still hungry. You should take her to dinner... Uh, change her clothes by the way, and, ahem, wear less in the future. This is..."
Wan Eqi replied with her head drooping, pulling Shao Shang, who was still smirking, to leave.
Wan Songbai watched the two girls go out, turned his head and said with a smile: "Mum, today I..."
"I'll talk about the gossip later, Ling Budo is visiting today, not to see your drunken appearance, the guest teacher is already in the hall. When you have discussed it, let's go."
Wan Songbai knew that this was the right thing to do, so he reluctantly left.
Seeing that her husband and daughter had all gone out, Mrs. Wan waved away the servant girl who was accompanying her, tried the medicinal soup herself, and said softly, "Aunt Jun, the medicine is a little cold, why don't you drink it hot?" Mrs. Wan said, "
No need. ', then took the lacquer bowl and drank it. Mrs. Wan hurriedly offered water to rinse her mouth, and when she presented a candied fruit with a silver chopstick, Mrs. Wan shook her head and refused.
"It's all right, the little sisters that Eiqi made before have not come to the capital, and now she is accompanied by Shao Shang, she will not be shouting every day to go hunting. After all, she is a little girl, and she is getting older. , it's time to learn to be virtuous and virtuous..." Madam Wan lowered her head and placed the bowl.
"...Speak straight if you have something to say." Mrs. Wan said, "Don't be foolish. Besides, you're not very clever."
Mrs. Wan's face was a little red: "Jun Au, you didn't see it. If you don't agree with each other, you will come forward and beat it. How can this be done by a famous lady? I know what Yan'e said is inappropriate, but even if she is wronged, there are other ways to solve it. Why is it so extreme and rude."
"Then tell me, how to solve it. It is possible to have such a bad temper without hurting the peace?"
Mrs. Wan murmured: "I, how do I know, but maybe... You can tell the elders first..."
"Even if Yuan Yi and his wife know, how can such a trivial matter be publicized. At best, the Yin lady should be punished, how could she be so angry?"
Mrs. Wan, who was always in a peaceful state of mind, said worriedly: "Why do you have to let out your anger? You can't bear it if you can't bear it."
"People only breathe in one breath. When they're out of breath, they'll walk around."
Mrs. Wan bowed her head in silence.
Mrs. Wan said, "Didn't you want to make Qiqi a friend with that Cheng He? But at the end of the day, she and Cheng He ate at the same table and walked all the way. Did you hear Qiqi mention her a word when we got home? I kept thinking about Shaoshang, and tonight they are afraid that they are going to sleep together. I also misunderstood, it turned out that the child was all pretending to be stupid and stunned in front of Ge Shi."
Mrs. Wan sighed slightly.
"It's good if you don't do it, but if you do, there will be mistakes. Although there are merits in the way of the mean, but one step in the mean will become cowardice and self-preservation." Mrs. Wan said, "If General Cheng also learns the mean, do you think I will ask Songbai to swoop in with him?! In a chaotic world, you can't stand up to be your ally against the open sword and the dark arrow at the critical moment, what's the use?"
Madam Wan said in horror: "Jungu!"
"Qiqi is like a pine and cypress . , Shao Shang is also like General Cheng. Their father and daughter are both open-minded and informal people. Just now Shao Shang was wearing old Qiqi clothes? She was in a hurry to come to worship me, so she didn't go to the warehouse to look for it. She herself is full of beautiful clothes, and her room is luxurious, but she makes the guests wear old clothes, but does the young merchant look a little bad? "
Mrs. Wan slowly opened her left eye, her eyes were already dim, but the light was still visible, "No, I see that the boy has a calm demeanor and clear eyes, and doesn't care about it at all. Thanks to Qiqi's closeness, it is purely natural."
Wan Madam didn't pay attention to this at all. After listening to her mother-in-law talking about it, she tried to recall what she had just seen.
"Ten years ago, when we first came to the capital, when we bought the old house, we gave the partial house to the Cheng family. This is a good intention, but if you are a person with a small temperament, you will inevitably think 'I am friends with your brother, but you give me As a servant and the like, let me be at the back of your mansion'. But General Cheng didn't care, he was happy that he could save a fortune, and he could ask my family to take care of his family nearby. At that time, I thought , I can rest assured to ask him to accompany Songbai to fight."
This example is very convincing, Mrs. Wan said: "This is! To say that General Cheng treats adults like brothers, no no, even brothers may not be That's possible. Songbai was reckless, and several times in the battle, General Cheng saved him with his life. Especially that time, um, Qiqi was eight years old. It scared me to death!"
Thinking of the situation at the time, she was still terrified, "It's especially rare, because Songbai suffered such a serious injury, Yuan Yi, such a strong person, threw himself on General Cheng, tears came down, but he was right. We don't have a single complaint."
Mrs. Wan slowly closed her left eye: "You don't have to dig out your heart to choose a friend. You have to be able to look at people, alas, I'm old too, these words should have been said to Sun What my son said, teaching him how to see people and know people, but now he is talking to you here..."
Mrs. Wan lowered her head: "It's all brides who are incompetent and can't reproduce."
"What's your business." Mrs. Wan sneered, "It's like this from generation to generation, it's like this from generation to generation, and the ancestors are like this. It's our turn to be frightened..." When she said this, she changed her tone, "So, you fell in love with the Yin family with many children and grandchildren? You want to recruit Qiqi. ?"
Madam Wan turned pale with fright, and hurriedly fell down and kowtowed: "The bride doesn't dare!"
"Nothing dares. You and Mistress are as close as sisters, so it's not surprising to think of this."
Mrs. Wan said lightly and waved her daughter-in-law to get up, "However, are you willing, Qiqi, Songbai? They have many sons in the Yin family who want to join the army. We and the Cheng family can help. But Yin The children of the family are prosperous, and Qiqi is not stupid, but in the end, he is alone. When we are all dead, I am afraid that the family owned by your uncle will be named Yin..."
Madam Wan was terrified, and she continued He kowtowed and said, "The bride has absolutely no heart to eat inside and out! I just thought that it would be a good idea to recruit a husband as a son-in-law, but someone who is similar to my family would be willing, but a small family is afraid of being wronged. Originally, the Cheng family It's best, but his family is sparsely populated, so how dare I open this mouth. Only Ayi, who has so many children next to her family, may be able to nod..." Mrs.
Wan nodded: "Who said no, it's the recruiting. It's so troublesome. However, I advise you to stop thinking about it first. I think Songbai loves her daughters very much, and the first 12 are all married, not to mention that Qiqi is his heart and soul, and he must have a good time to pass it on."
Wan Madam turned her face sideways and wept: "The grown-up is not too young, and there is still no space under your knees. If you don't recruit children, you won't be able to adopt, but those in the clan... the pines and cypresses are all offended..." She didn't dare to look at her mother-in-law's face. , because the cause is on her.
Mrs. Wan said: "What are you doing, maybe you died earlier than me and Pine and Cypress. When you close your eyes, you still worry about it. At that time, my golden silk nanmu coffin can be used for you first."
The tears on Mrs. Wan's face were not dry, she was dumbfounded and didn't know how to continue. She hasn't gotten used to her mother-in-law's speaking style for decades, probably only the late Wan Taigong liked it.
