V4.Chapter 17 (1/2)
Because of the accident in Yanzhou, the internal fighting of huochentang has eased a lot in the past two years.
However, Liu Xixian, supported by the Weiyuan Marquis group, missed the opportunity to build a career in the border area and delayed his promotion. In the past two years, Weiyuan Marquis tried to find ways to support him, and recently, in order to show Weiyuan Marquis how to do well, Liu Xixian deliberately promoted him. Now, he is just a vehicle commander from the fifth grade.
But Liu Xixian was a cheerful man. Although at the full week banquet held for Liu Keng, the eldest son of his own, his old friends and acquaintances who came to congratulate him were almost higher than him in official positions, they were still smiling and not a little depressed. However, Liu youzhao, the younger brother of Liu Xixian, who was replaced by Liu Xixian and went to hujiangong in the East, even leaped several levels, although he was very proud in his official career, he did not know why. Today, he looks a bit gloomy, and seems to be unhappy.
In the eyes of the guests who come to congratulate, they are all curious and seldom discuss in private.
This is the front yard.
In the backyard, because Liu Xixian's parents were all in Donghu, all the people who came to congratulate him were ordinary people and younger people. After watching Liu Keng, who was sleeping soundly, and congratulating the song Xiyue, a female family member did not have to wait in front of the old men. They got close to each other while chatting in twos and threes while the banquet was still open.
Wei Changying asked his nurse to take Shen Shuguang down to play with Liu Jinger, song Xiyue's eldest daughter, and he made time to talk to his cousin about himself: ”I don't think you look good today. Are you tired of keng'er's full week feast? Take care of yourself. Jing'er and keng'er are both small and depend on you! ”
Song Xiyue's face is full of red light today, which is very in line with the joyful spirit of Aizi Man Zhou. However, if you look closely, you can see that this kind of color is decorated with powder. In fact, she is dark green now, and she is even thinner than before she came out of the cabinet. At first, she was similar to Wei Changying, but after she had two children, she was plump. Now her cousins are standing together, which doesn't look like before.
After listening to Wei Changying's words, song Xiyue chuckled and said, ”I asked cousin Wei to worry. In fact, it's nothing. Just two days ago, keng'er coughed. I was worried in my heart, which made me thinner.”
”Keng'er coughs?” Wei Changying frowned slightly and asked with concern, ”now he is?”
”It's all right. I just picked him up and my cousin saw it. Didn't she sleep very well?” Song Xiyue smiled quietly and said, ”the doctor I asked before said it was just cold, but I don't feel at ease.”
Wei Changying is also a mother. He has a deep feeling about this: ”children are the meat that falls from us. What's wrong with them? We know it's OK. How can we not worry? But you can't worry too much. After all, you've been a little weak these two years. If you don't take care of yourself, how can you take good care of jing'er and keng'er? ”
”What my cousin said is that I don't plan for anything now, just for two children to grow up safely.” Song Xiyue sighed, ”don't let the mess disturb them.”
Wei Changying's eyes moved. He saw that all the people around him were talking with each other. His sisters were trusted servants. He whispered, ”but when keng'er was born, someone in the backyard was uneasy.”
”They are no more restless than concubines.” Song Xiyue shook his head and said softly, ”my father-in-law and my mother-in-law have lost a lot of gossip because of my son's landing. What I am worried about now is the situation. Cousin, you see, although we are women, we often hear that there is a civil commotion here and there. Jinger and keng'er are both young Think that they may catch up with the times of chaos, my heart Alas! ”
Wei Changying comforted: ”so you are worried about this? But you are also confused. Although it is said that the world is not peaceful now and the war is raging, where can people like us be despised in troubled times? ” When he said this, he suddenly felt very familiar with it. After thinking about it, he remembered that it was Wei Changfeng, his younger brother, who was punished by his mother to kneel in the court the year before he left the cabinet, who persuaded him to speak his original words.
Remembering his mother's home, Wei Changying couldn't help being in a trance for a moment.
Fortunately, it took a long time for song Xiyue to open his mouth, saying: ”it's said that it's better to be a peace dog than a man in troubled times. Although we are not as common as the common people, we are still at ease from the time of peace and prosperity
”Peace and prosperity, who doesn't want to?” Wei Changying patted her on the back of the hand and said, ”but we can only have a good time in troubled times! Compared with the common people and the small scholars in the remote places, our status has been blessed by heaven. ” Even the royal family is not safe in this turbulent world.
Song Xiyue wants to talk about it again, but when the rain suddenly ran over and whispered, ”the second grandson asked the maid to come and ask the little lady to go quickly.”
”What's the matter?” said Wei Changying
Song Xiyue is a little worried: ”is Jinger naughty and bullying him?” Although Liu Jinger is a girl, and she is more than one year younger than Shen Shuguang, she has a bad temper.
When Wei Changying came to visit last time, he saw Liu Jinger smashing people with the fruit in the fruit plate, and song Xiyue refused to stop shouting.
