While Wei Changying and Song Zaishui were chatting about family affairs, the white cloth had not yet been completely removed in the lonely rear courtyard of the Wei Family's mansion. When the wind blew, the white cloth danced with the remaining snow, adding sadness and loneliness to the bleak reality.
Wei Changjuan, the Seventh Miss, stood alone in the courtyard under a plum tree with blood-red blossoms, holding a snowy plum branch, lost in thought. She thought melancholily, "In the past, at this time of the year, Mother would always lead people to collect snow from the plum blossoms and seal it in a clay pot to make tea when the spring comes. I remember one year, my first sister saw a recipe for plum blossom cakes in a book, and we collected plum blossoms together to make some. The plum blossom cakes we made at that time were not good at all, but my first sister ate several pieces in order not to lose face. In the end, she had a stomach upset in the middle of th
"It seems that Changwan told the doormen to do so, saying that you are in mourning and shouldn't have visitors. When I just arrived at the front door, I saw that was how Liu Ruoye was sent away." Min Yinuo said softly, "I was told the same thing, but on the way back, I remembered that I had passed by a side door of yours, so I tried it. Surprisingly, they let me in. When I got to the courtyard, I happened to see you almost collapse. Silly you, it's so cold nowadays, but you aren't looking after yourself properly. My fifteenth aunt, your mother, has passed away so you should take better care of yourself, in case my fifteenth uncle and cousins worry about you!"Wei Changjuan’s heart ached, thinking that her father and siblings were blaming her for everything. Instead of worrying about her, they would probably choose not to see her again.After a pause, Wei Changjuan said in a low voice, "Since it is Changwan's order, so let it be. Maybe she wants me to
Usually, when it came to the right to run the household, there could be some hard feelings between sisters-in-law. In some families, though the mothers-in-law hadn't passed away, they had delegated the responsibilities and their daughters-in-law would start to fight with each other. This should have been the case in the second branch of the Wei Family as the mother-in-law had suddenly died without specifying which daughter-in-law should be in charge. Even though the first daughter-in-law would normally be the one, she couldn't completely keep the second daughter-in-law out, so there should have been a fight.But Mrs. Min and Mrs. Zhou got along very well and were like sisters. There was an explanation for that.They were both granddaughters-in-law chosen by Old Madam Song for her grandsons. Both of them had gentle and quiet temperaments, who didn't like to cause trouble. They would also put up with things when they could.Usually, daught
Mrs. Zhou asked, "What is it?""You know my cousin came over to visit Wei Changjuan today." Mrs. Min squinted, saying, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have given her all those good things to ruin! Hasn't she ruined enough things in the past?"Mrs. Zhou asked suspiciously, "But didn't you say you weren't very close to Min Yinuo? How did you manage to persuade her to help us?""Her father, Min Zhixia, is just a descendant of a distant branch, but at least, my family is from the lineal branch of the clan, so of course our situation is much better than his. When Min Zhixia was poor and sick, my family didn't care much about him. Since he got the support of the Duanmu Family, he rarely visits our family. Perhaps he has grievances? Before I was married, I was in Quyin County. The first time I met Min Yinuo was in this mansion when Wei Changjuan brought her back as a guest. I only learned that she was from the same family as me when I was with her. Howe
Before the next day when a servant could have been sent as usual to ask Ji Qubing to come over to check Wei Changying's pulse, the moment Ji Qubing packed his medical bag and went away with Wei Zhengyin, the Ni Tao couple ran in a panic to the Jintong Courtyard to report the news.On hearing this, Mrs. Huang was shocked. Having thought for a moment, she calmed down, warning them, "Don't tell the young madam about this for now in case she becomes worried. It might cause trouble for her when giving birth."Ni Tao was the person who served Ji Qubing. He was worried that if something bad happened to Wei Changying after Ji Qubing had gone with Wei Zhengyin, Old Madam Song would vent her anger on him as she couldn't do anything to her daughter. He asked nervously, "If we aren't going to tell the young madam, we should send someone to bring Miracle Doctor Ji back, in case the young madam...""What are you talking about?" Mrs. Huang looked upset
As the saying went, the more a person was worried, the more things might go wrong. That night everyone in the Grand Preceptor's mansion was disturbed, and even the neighboring Count Xiangning's family had the news before dawn. As Shen Cangzhu was a widow, she worried that she would bring bad luck, so she did not go. Mrs. Pei dressed up and led people over in person to enquire about the situation. Actually, among all the people who had been disturbed and now gathered here, there were people like Madam Su who had given birth to many children, and there were also people who knew gynecology like Mrs. Huang. However, none of them could see the true situation as Duanmu Yanyu could, who didn't care about Wei Changying and only wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain a benefit for herself.Everything happened just as Duanmu Yanyu had predicted and had told her maidservant in the carriage. As this was her first time giving birth, being worried, Wei Changying p
Wei Changying's second aunt, Wei Zhengyin, was ill and her second uncle's family was prevented from coming over as they were in mourning. Thanks to their absence, the two families didn't have to see each other or consequently be upset by each other. Among Wei Changying's relatives, distant relatives like Wei Yu and Queen Run had sent their trusted people over to present gifts. The people had taken a look at the newborn baby and had given their congratulations, showing the respect from their families. And now her relatives were just waiting for the banquet to celebrate the baby becoming one month old before they would come to give their congratulations in person.But her eldest aunt, Wei Shengxian, came almost every other day.Wei Shengxian came so frequently but she cared very little for Wei Changying. She came mostly for the son Wei Changying had given birth to. Since Wei Shengxian had no sons herself, she particularly loved the young masters of the
Shen Shujing was helping her elders to comfort her cousin, but she had accidentally offended her second aunt with just a single sentence. Although her mother, Mrs. Liu, was aware of this, she couldn't say anything at that moment. After all, it was true that there was no son in the second branch. If she told her daughter to apologize to her for this, it would embarrass Duanmu Yanyu even more. She knew Duanmu Yanyu's personality, so secretly she was worried for her daughter, "Duanmu Yanyu's greatest regret is that she has no sons. I hope she won't hold a grudge against Shujing just because of this."On hearing what Shen Shujing had said, Wei Changying froze for a moment. She knew that her eldest niece was a polite girl and was not the kind of person who would attack others by using innuendos. She had probably said it unintentionally. However, having glanced at Duanmu Yanyu, she saw her looking upset. Wei Changying secretly sighed, thinking of her two sisters-in-law
While everything was festive at the Grand Preceptor's mansion in the capital. Far away, in Fengzhou, Ruiyu Hall was filled with joy and flourishing with fancy decorations. As soon as people entered, they could see that the hall was filled with the family's friends and relatives. There was pleasant music. Singers were singing and dancers were dancing. With the singing and dancing, various expensive foods were endlessly ranged over the tables. The banquet was extraordinarily lively.At the moment when the music reached its climax and the dancers looked the most charming, Wei Huan, as the host, quietly excused himself as being too drunk from the banquet to the people by his sides. He then gave the task of hosting the banquet to his third son, Wei Shengnian.When he returned to the back of the hall, a servant handed him a hot handkerchief. Having taken it and wiped his face, Wei Huan let out a breath. The drunkenness that had made him stumb
The pills made by Ji Zhaosi himself and specifically used for hanging lives are extraordinary exactly.Huang asked Wei Changying to bring two pills, which were taken by Shen Shuxie and Shen Jingshi respectively. However, after half an hour, the two nephews and uncle, whose breath was originally weak, breathed clearly and evenly!Even before the high fever has been unrelenting Shen Jingshi, actually began to retreat from the heat!Although it was said that this one pill could not heal them immediately, and it might not even be able to guarantee that they would definitely survive.But ...... Shen stack wiped tears and cried and laughed, "Ji Shen doctor road is delayed again, and then there are at most ten days of light will be able to arrive!"The doctor who was called over to treat the uncle and nephew after taking the medicine said, "The second son and the second grandson are now revitalized, and if they take some more warming and tonic medicines. If th
Wei Changying rushed into the house in a hurry.Because the snow hadn't melted yet, and she was in a hurry, her foot slipped when she went up the steps, and she fell and knocked on the top step."Sister Wei, be careful!" Gu Rouzhang, who was running over with her skirt, shouted in shock and was about to rush forward to help her, but Wei Changying quickly stood up after the fall and went into the house as if nothing had happened.However, the remaining snow on the steps had been dyed blood red under this knock!A trail of blood dripped all the way into the house with Wei Chang Ying's steps!Gu Rouzhang's gaze paused on the blood before she came to her senses and turned back to instruct Shi Man'er, "Go to the car and bring Sister Wei's package!"Shi Man'er fearfully raised the things she was holding in her hands, "The maidservants brought it with them when they got off the bus.""Keep your voice down and follow me in to take a look." Gu Rouzha
Three days later, 5,000 Western Liang horsemen arrived to welcome Wei Chang Ying's aunt and nephew back to the camp.Originally, there was still a last shred of fantasy in his heart, but when he saw the leader of these 5,000 elite soldiers, a lieutenant who claimed to be named Cai Qingzhi, coming up to the hall in onyx, Wei Changying understood everything the news that Shen Bo had been executed by Pei Jie and the others privately was still unknown, and since it was not to observe the filial piety of the Son of Heaven, who else was qualified to receive this onyx of the Xiliang army, except for Shen Xuanyuan? Who else in the world is qualified to receive this onyx besides Shen Xuan?This is nothing less than proof that Shinbo's words that day, or at least part of what he said, were in no way a lie.Wei Changying was like falling into a freezing cellar in an instant!She grabbed her sleeve in death, and was silent for ten or so breaths before she let Cai Qingzhi
Although the news brought by Shen Bo had left the crowd in a state of shock and anger, the rendezvous with Mo Binwei was more or less a relief.Before they easily escaped from the pursuit of the Rong people, and then settled in Changxian not that they are willing to stay in Changxian, but is listening to Shi Lin said that the left side of the county is also Changxian because of the remoteness of the land, there is no big family, so instead of the peace more.With the Rong people to the north and bandits to the south, there's really no other safer way than to wait for news here.And the news that Schilling was told to poke around never did ......Now Mo Binwei with the Wei family's three thousand elite cavalry to come, naturally do not have to Wei family of those doing business with a good hand to continue to rush ducks on the shelf as a scout, there are after Mo Binwei coaching of tough scouts to do this errand.So Mo Binwei stationed in Changxian Count
"...... Zhu Chengyi is the person who served my birth mother back then. After my birth mother was murdered for the abolitionist Gu, I occasionally took advantage of my foster mother's lack of preparation and went to the palace where she had lived to reminisce, and often saw him secretly burning incense and praying for my birth mother in the corner. Later, my foster mother lost favor, I live in the Jia Mu Palace, Zhu Chengyi frugal saving a meager monthly fee to me, I still remember when I was ten years old in the Jia Mu Palace in the snow like a mat, freezing cold, Zhu Chengyi did not wear a fur coat, freezing and shivering from the corner of the door to look for me in no one's place hard to plug his pawn fur coat of silver money to me, said that is afraid that I have been deducted from the royal son of the part of the case, hurt the body ... ... ...When he was about to part, he was in his prime but appeared to be trembling due to the lack of clothing to protect him from the cold an
Dusk, the remnants of the sun like blood, to the icy sky and snow gilded like gold and blood light.Mo Binwei, dressed in military attire and dusty, followed Pei Jie into the inner courtyard.Although this mansion, which was already a first-class courtyard in Chang County, could not meet the eyes of the real nobles, it was tidied up quite neatly by Shi Lin's commanders.At this moment, the snow in the courtyard were broom swept carefully, the ground brick was frozen into a pale green color. But the corner of the yard quietly spit stamens of a red plum by the north wind blew down a few buds fell on it, the pale more pale, red more colorful, but it looks like a picture.Dark fragrance filled the court, but see the corridor under the two with plain dresses of young girls, playful and bright, is whispering.Noticing that Gu Xi Nian had brought someone with her, Shi Jian'er and Shi Qing'er busily rose and saluted, "Mr. Gu!"Gu Xi Nian raised her stage
"They didn't land in Jiu County, or even enter the city at all, before continuing south?" In Chang County, in the afternoon, there was a foot of snow in the court, and ice prisms reached the ground under the eaves.However, because the house was burning with an underground dragon, Wei Chang Ying was only wearing a jacket. She was dressed in onyx, not adorned with jewelry, but her natural beauty still made the few young Shi daughters who served her look down on her.But Wei Changying, who had already put on her mother-in-law's mourning dress, was not in the mood to congratulate herself on her jade-like appearance.Through the embroidered curtain, she listened to the report of Shi Lin, who had rushed to Jiuxian County without stopping to find out the news and then rushed back, and her eyes gradually became heavy, "You go, and invite all the people who traveled with me to come over, in addition to Sister Deng, Jing'er, and the entourage!"Shi Lin heard the skept
Mo Binwei escorted Wei Xin Yong back to Fengzhou to take revenge, and originally agreed to return to the capital immediately after killing Wei Qi.Then Wei Xinrong would assist Shen Bo, who was still the Crown Prince at the time, to ascend to the throne, and then of course, he would gain high rank and salary by taking his own merits from the dragon, and then vigorously cultivate Mo Bunwei his birth mother died early, and his relationship with his family was not good, and the Crown Prince was too short a period of time for him to develop any deep roots, so there was no one available to him in any respect. Available, Wei Xin Yong and Mo Bunwei such and real learning, but no reliable background of the young talent, it is Shen Bo's dream of the right arm.According to Wei Xin Yong's previous plan, with the help of the Shen Bo emperor's identity, he and Mo Binwei a literary and military cultivation of power, the existence of Wei for a year to cultivate a year of course, he wi
Taking advantage of the light of setting up camp, Mo Binwei walked into the tent that had been specially erected for Wei Xinrong, who had not yet recovered from his illness.The tent is lit with two wind lamps, Wei Xin Yong's feet, there is a delicate mythical beast gilt furnace, the furnace burning the best silver frost charcoal, warm, but do not see half a bit of smoke and fire atmosphere.This is a disease for many years of Rui Yu Hall six old master than a year ago, thin not a little two points, the whole person even some form of bone meaning. Originally fair face through a strange pallor, more and more appear his eyes cold as a cold pool, bottomless.Not only that, the weariness between his brows was very obvious, making Mo Binwei very worried for him, "Mr. Wei, but today's march was too long?""There's no harm in it." Wei Xinrong sipped the hot ginseng tea in the tinu, shook his head slightly, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "My physique is too wea
