The nephew was ill, so the aunt couldn't only think about her birthday. Wei Changxian asked the maidservant and found that she was just thinking about Mrs. Su's order and waiting for her here, but she didn't send anyone to inquire about the specific situation. She immediately scolded the maidservant for her stupidity. After that, she frowned and said to Wei Changying and Song Zaishui, "I don't know what's going on. Gui is so weak and this maidservant is so stupid. Now I'm not at ease. I want to go to my sister-in-law and have a look. Changying, please accompany Miss Song here for me for a moment."
And she apologized to Song Zaishui.
But Wei Changying said, "Let's go and visit Gui together."
"All right." Wei Changxian originally thought that Song Zaishui had a special status, so she couldn't force her to visit Wei Shangui. That was why she asked Wei Changying to stay with her. But now since Song Zaishui had no objection, although Wei Shangui was
Because Wei Shangui was ill, Wei Changxian's birthday party ended in a hurry.Song Zaishui said goodbye and left Duke Jingping's mansion. She complained about Wei Changying all the time on the carriage and asked her, who knew her wrongness to apologize constantly. Wei Changying was speaking sugared words all the way and Song Zaishui was finally in a better mood.When Wei Changying returned to the mansion, she went to the main room first to see Old Madam Song. As soon as she stepped in, she saw that Old Madam Song looked very happy as if she had heard something joyous. Old Madam Song even got happier when seeing Wei Changying. Before Wei Changying and Song Zaishui could salute, the old madam quickly waved, "Don't be restrained, come here quickly!"They sat next to Old Madam Song. Wei Changying asked curiously, "You look very happy today, Grandma?""Look at this." Old Madam Song carefully took out a red sandalwood box from the couch
Madam Song was worried, but Wei Changying smiled calmly and said, "Since the two sisters-in-law are virtuous women, even if they were jealous of this pair of hair clasp, they would only say something out of jealousy. If I am in a good mood, I will ignore. But if I am not, I will respond to their words. After all, they are my sisters, so I don't think they would do anything to me.""Virtuous women?" Madam Song sneered as she said, "Only one kind of woman in the plutocratic families could be praised as a virtuous lady because of her kindness— a girl like you who has not yet married and is under the protection of powerful elders! Let's just talk about the servants. In a family like ours with so many servants, we all agree that there's a distinction between masters and servants. However, in the collateral branch of the Wei Family which is in poverty, the servants never have such a life as our servants, let alone the personal attendants of the masters. To us, these people ar
Old Madam Song decided to bet for her granddaughter. She insisted that Shen Cangfeng and Wei Changying were still young, so even if Shen Cangfeng didn’t like her, Wei Changying could still change after getting married. After all, both of the families were distinguished, and as long as Wei Huan and Old Madam Song were still alive, Wei Changying would not suffer from anything.Although Madam Song thought it was too ridiculous to make such a decision, she couldn't seek help from others except for Old Madam Song. Also, she didn't know whether Shen Cangfeng would like Wei Changying's current personalities or not. If she forced Wei Changying to become virtuous, she might run counter to her desire.After all, Wei Changying would become Shen Cangfeng's wife. No matter how she was loved and respected by her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law, a wife whose husband doesn't love...has nothing but a title.From the very beginning, Old Madam Song and Madam Son
Wei Changsui was nervously planning with the old servant about how to turn the situation around. By the end of June, Fengzhou, instead, received a piece of great news!—The north of the province had a great victory!Wei Changying's speculation before was actually right: there were indeed northern Rong tribes sneaking into Fengzhou. Liao City had heavy casualties due to the betrayed spies that three Jingguan were heaped up and only less than three tenth of people in the city survived!This event was forcibly suppressed in a short time by Wei Huan. After all, the terrain of Fengzhou was long and narrow so that and the north and south sides were quite far apart. Although some rumors spread to the city of Fengzhou, the Wei Family never admitted this news and used its deeply rooted power in this province to pacify the people with both hard and soft tactics. Fengzhou was the hometown of Wei Family and the provincial officials were all the descendants
Wei Changfeng opened his palms to reveal a ball of paper. Wei Changying glanced at it. The paper looked like a poem note for impromptu poems on the Wei Family's table. She said strangely, "What is this?""I looked at it by the lights on the porch just now...." Before Wei Changfeng finished his words, Wei Changying had already taken it from him quickly. She thought something was written on the paper, but she felt something heavy when she held the paper—something was wrapped in it. She opened it. It was an iron tablet with the size of a baby's hand.A hole was made at the top position of the iron tablet as if it had been for the rope to pass through in order to hang it. The tablet was engraved with tadpole-like words or graphics. They were neither seal scripts nor oracle bones. The Wei Family had a prosperous tradition of literacy. Although Wei Changying did not work hard in studying, she could still recognize these words. The language on this tablet was not
After listening to concise narration from Wei Changfeng, Old Madam Song didn't look well. Wei Gaochan couldn't be compared with her lineal granddaughter Wei Changying in her mind, but she was a daughter of the Wei Family and was almost cheated into marriage by the collateral branch of the Song Family. It not only made Old Madam Song feel sorry for her granddaughter, but also angry that Song Han and Song Duan had disgraced the Song Family in Jiangnan!Fortunately, it was her beloved grandson, Wei Changfeng, who had told this matter, and she was not angry to throw the bowl and pound the table, for she had always been soft in front of her lineal children. She settled down and asked Wei Changfeng to return to Wei Huan to learn from his grandfather, turning around and letting Chen Ruping send someone to call Wei Shengnian in front.Wei Shengnian did not know the accident, and Chen Ruping of course would not tell him. So he thought his mother called him to ask ab
Wei Changying had left Xianshuang Court after practicing boxing. Zhu Lan came up to her when she was walking the short dozens of steps from the courtyard gate to the front of the house, and articulated Wei Gaochan's reason of visiting her.The maidservants were at first surprised to see Wei Changying, but then they were overjoyed!Everyone was wondering that since Wei Changying and Wei Gaochan had no enmity in the past, how come Wei Changying was so glad to hear about the unforeseen upheaval in her cousin's marriage? Even Wei Changying herself had realized this, and she tried to hide her happiness. After entering the gate, Wei Gaochan had only spoken a few words to Mrs. Duan, and Wei Changying already promised to help them.And then after sending her grateful cousin away, Wei Changying hurriedly took a bath and got dressed. She then rushed to see Old Madam Song and asked rightfully to go to Wei Huan's study with Wei Changfeng so as to observe t
It was rare for Old Madam Song not to feel happy when her granddaughter was coquetting. Unexpectedly, she felt sadness welling up. But she was silent for a long time, and finally made up words to comfort Wei Changying. At that time, Shuangli came in to report, "The fifth young master has come.""Oh! It must be that my grandfather has made things clear and asked Changfeng to tell you." Hearing this, Wei Changying's eyes lighted up. She immediately struck the long table in front of her and couldn't wait to say, "Shuangli, go and ask him to come in!""..." She was so heartless and got happy again. Old Madam Song felt that the atmosphere was not suitable for her to have a deep talk with her. She sighed helplessly and said to Shuangli who looked at her, "Let Changfeng come in!"In the urging voice of his elder sister, Wei Changfeng gave his grandma a salute meticulously and then bowed his hands to Wei Changying. Before he could say anything, a pine
