V1.Chapter 2 (1/2)
In the main room of the back house, the curtain is low, but it doesn't feel sultry. It's because there are half a person's ice tanks in the four corners of the room, and four little maids holding a palm fan, fluttering in the wind in a neat and uniform way. Although there is such a chilly and autumn enjoyment in the summer, there are two pieces of jelly cheese in hand, and it's the most sleepy noon. Song's wife of Wei's family has just finished a day's work and has just used lunch. It's a good time to have a rest For a moment, I would go to the old lady's bed and ask her to have a good time. But Mrs. song could not sleep for a long time.
”How are things now?” Mrs. song thought about it or did not feel at ease. She climbed up and sat up. She asked her mother, Mammy Shi, who was married with her, fluffy about her temples.
”The maidservant just lifted the curtain and looked through the window. The eldest lady was still kneeling In the sun, look It's very hot. ”
After hearing this, Mrs. song hissed and asked, ”can someone give her water?”
”The maidservant did not see it.” ”Ma'am, it's going to be a very hot day, miss I'm afraid I can't stand it! ”
Mrs. song's face was very ugly. She slapped the small tangy table beside the couch with great force. She almost turned it over and said angrily, ”don't worry about her! If she doesn't admit her mistake, she won't be allowed to get up! I didn't say where to kneel in such a large yard. She chose a place that was not covered by Wuzhang to kneel, just to make me feel soft - I don't feel soft today! Hum! ” Said, she stout face, lay down again, cold command, ”no one is allowed to give her water! Tell her to kneel! If she doesn't admit her mistake, she will be sunburned. You can call a doctor to show her. Don't tell me! This heartless little thing, I really think I can't help to discipline her! ”
”Yes!” said mammy carefully
When song Fu's face turned to the inside, she seemed to fall asleep. She looked at the corner and the screen of the two handmaidens who were waiting by the curtain, and led them out of the inner room. When they got to the outside, she murmured, ”does the lady understand?”
The painting corner and the painting screen looked at each other, and whispered: ”let's go to send some water to the eldest lady?”
”Take the jelly cheese of that time to the eldest lady It's not good to persuade the eldest lady to eat slowly. It's not good to eat cold food in the heat. ” ”Then coax the eldest lady to the shade and kneel In a word, I can't let the eldest lady stay in the sun any longer! ”
The painting corner and the painting screen should be answered. Just waiting to go out, Mammy Shi said again, ”yes, ask the eldest lady if she is willing to admit her mistake. If not In a moment, I'll persuade the eldest lady to pretend to faint. ”
”I'm afraid of the sex of the eldest lady,” he said with a wry smile
If the eldest lady in the long room of the Wei family is willing to pretend to be dizzy, she will not refuse to bow her head to Mrs. song. Mother Shi sighed: ”if the eldest lady is not willing to pretend to be dizzy, you will coax her back to the room. Didn't the lady say that if the eldest lady faints, don't you tell her? If we don't mention it, Madame will be taken as the eldest lady and be sent back to the room after kneeling and fainting. ”
The two maids understood the real meaning of the song lady's words and thanked mammy Shi for her advice. Just as I was about to open the door, I didn't want to hear the footsteps on the veranda outside. Soon I arrived at the door and knocked on it gently. A very gentle voice said with a smile, ”can aunt see me?”
”Open the door!” Hearing this, Shi hurriedly ordered the servant girl to straighten her skirt again - the door opened, but she saw a girl about 17 or 18 years old standing outside. She did not describe her distant eyebrows, her eyes were bright, her teeth were bright, and her skin was bright as the moon.
Her crow's hair is tied with a single snail, and two jewel Zan hairpins of hibiscus flowers are inserted obliquely. Her mouth is smiling, revealing a pair of pear vortexes with deep cheeks. Wearing a lotus colored shirt with wide sleeves, a moonlight covert skirt, and a light Fragrance Sachet on the waist, the whole person looks generous and bright. As soon as the door opened, a very comfortable smile appeared. Seeing mother Shi, he immediately called out.
When she saw the young girl, she couldn't help showing her joy. Because the heat wave was rolling outside, she was busy greeting her and the two blue maids behind her to come in and talk. She closed the door and blocked the heat wave. She couldn't greet her, so she asked the young girl in a low voice: ”thank God that Miss Biao is here, but it's for...” Through the door, also accurately looked to Wei Changying now kneeling place.
This cousin is the niece of song's wife. Like the Weishi of Fengzhou, she is the first-class daughter of song's family in the south of the Yangtze River, song Zaishui. Her father, Song Yu wangguan, worshipped Sikong and was also a great uncle. He was the brother of Mrs. song's compatriots. His official career was in the capital of Haojing, and his mother, Wei, died prematurely. In the book reading, Feng Zhou Wei and Jiangnan song had an appointment several generations ago. They married each other from generation to generation. Although they did not only marry each other, they always preferred each other. Song Zaishui's birth mother is a Tang Gu of Wei Changying and Wei Changfeng. So song Zaishui and Wei's brother-in-law are both cousins and uncles. Because their cousins are closer than Tang's mother, they are called after Song's wife.
The Wei family died more than ten years ago. After his death, song Yuwang ordered song Zaitian, the eldest son, and song Zaidi, the second son, to go back to Jiangnan for burial. Song Zaidi accompanied him in the water. The three brothers and sisters together guarded their filial piety in Jiangnan. After Xiaoman, song Zaitian didn't want to receive a letter from Song Yuwang to take his brother-in-law and sister back to the imperial capital. Song Zaishui was determined not to take it. He gave up the old man of the Song family for an excuse to stay. Considering that after Wei's death, song Yuwang didn't marry again, and song didn't have formal female elders to teach her when he arrived at the capital of the emperor, he also agreed to leave her around to teach for some time.This taught song to stay in the water until this year. At the beginning of the year, song Yuwang urged her to return to the capital again. Even the old man of the Song family told her to leave, and she left the south of the Yangtze River slowly. Just passing by Fengzhou, I came to visit my grandmother, Mrs. song, and my aunt, Mrs. song. I found an excuse to refuse to leave.
Although she has lived in the Wei family for more than four months, she refuses to leave after receiving letters from her family several times. She has made it clear that she wants to stay in the Wei family, but no one in the Wei family dare to despise her. Only because Song Dynasty got the praise of Zhaoyi and Empress of today before the death of Weishi, the mother of Song Dynasty, and got the golden words of today. She and Ji empress were allowed to be crown princess with a handle of gold inlaid with jade Ruyi in front of her. This is the queen of the world who wants to be the mother of the world in the future!
It's because the eldest daughter in the long house, such as grandma Shi and Miss Wei, can be regarded as half a daughter to be angry. Seeing song Zaishui, they still have to fight respectfully.
However, Song Dynasty was born in water with a noble background and a great future, but he did not have the spirit of cunning, arrogance and brutality. Instead, he was modest and gentle, which was very popular. This meeting listened to the words of mammy Shi, she nodded and said in a low voice: ”I don't know about this, just now five cousins went to me Aunt in there? But asleep? ”
In fact, she didn't expect to invite Mrs. song, the first niece, to express her love. But song Zaishui is a quasi crown princess. How dare they disturb her except for Wei Changfeng?
