Chapter 34：

Facts have proved that Cheng Song, who speaks the truth, is not very reliable when it comes to doing things. Shaoshang entered his carriage full of expectations, but found that there was no brazier in the car.

When he got to him, he trembled while regretting that he didn't put Yuan Shen's brazier and fleece blanket in.

Cheng Song heard the younger sister sneeze in the back again, and was also very anxious, and drove more and more hastily. The gate of the mansion was nearby, Cheng Song turned his head and said happily in the carriage, "Don't be in a hurry, it's here!"

The big-bellied and fat Abo with a red complexion is Wan Songbai, who seems to be seeing off guests.

The splendidly dressed group of people with smiles on their faces was undoubtedly the entourage of the Wan family.

The bone-chilling weather is really 'cold light and iron clothes'.

When they saw a carriage rushing towards here in a panic, they only heard a few swipes. ; A juvenile guard with a slightly square chin stepped forward and said sharply, "Who is coming?"

Cheng Song was taken aback, 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 tilted for a while, and Shaoshang was also frightened, thinking that he was going to suffer an ancient car accident, and clinging to the frame of the car.

Wan Songbai was half awakened by the drunkenness, and quickly waved his hand and said loudly: "Oh, this is not... No, that, Master Ling, this is my own, my own niece and nephew ...don't do it, don't do it..."

The wisp of Xuanyu was clasped, and both arms were tied with heavy gold-encrusted arm horns.

He seemed to glance at Shaoshang, then turned slightly to the side, and bowed his hands to Wan Songbai, saying, "Your Excellency is drunk today, and I will worship you someday." After leaving, he turned around And go.

Not far away stood a huge black carriage, with a black to shiny lacquered wood frame, two tall black horses with four hoofs on the snow, even the bridles are black Smelting 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.

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, wait for me to tell my virtuous brother..."

Cheng Song was still in shock, and tremblingly helped her younger sister to get out of the car, and heard the words loudly: "Abo, you are here again! Don't say that my mother beat us when you see us hurt! "

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 when he spoke, his tongue was big, but his brain was not confused, so I just heard him laughing: "Don't be hard, even if your face is not It was because of your grandmother that you hid today because of her! Come on! Don't be stunned, come in, come in quickly..."

…

There are many servants, wives and slaves in the ten thousand family, and their style is far from comparable to the Cheng family.

Sister Wan Shisan was overjoyed when she heard that Shaoshang was coming, and hurriedly came out to greet him. When meeting in front of the hall, Shao Shang found that the little girl Qiqi was surrounded by more than 20 servants—four lanterns in the front led the way, four in the back were holding brocade boxes, eight around them were holding lanterns, and There are several top torches around.

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. Zhang Tutang and a piece of salt are simply too extravagant.

Wan Eqi is a sincere girl, holding the fat pig head of Shaoshang and looking left and right, she can't help but feel sad, and hastily asked the slaves 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 health care service at the level of a platinum giant diamond crown—

She sighed comfortably, regretting in her 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, 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 Eqi stood in the middle with akimbo, cursing Yin Yane's face with pimples and never getting better, while directing her maids to serve the young merchants like worker ants. After packing up, the new-looking young businessman was led by her to see Mrs. Wan Lao.

Walking all the way, Shaoshang was apprehensive. She knew in her heart that, except for those slaves who had been dealt with by Mrs. Xiao, only Ge Shi and Mrs. Wan could discover their own inappropriate. Even if it is the former, she will no longer worry about seeing you again after a few years. Who would have thought that when she entered the new version of Cixintang, she was first taken aback by Mrs. Wan-

The room was filled with the fragrance of medicine, and Mrs. Wan was kneeling in front of an old woman, serving her medicine.

Mrs. Wan Lao's hair is completely white, but the outline of the melon face is still very clear, the nose is straight and the lips are plump, and the waist and back are straight, especially when you are young Close, the right eyelid is sunken, obviously the eyeball is no longer there, and one left ear is missing.

Surprised. She decided it would be better to say less.

Mrs. Wan Lao wears simple clothes, no jewelry, pearls and emeralds. The clothing is only soft and comfortable, and her hair is tied in a simple 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 businessman sincerely greeted Mrs. Wan Lao.

Mrs. Wan turned around and smiled: "Young businessman is here, let's stay a few more days this time. The elder sister above Qiqi is married, and she has been idle and bored all day since she returned to the capital. , you little sisters read and write together..."

Shaoshang rides a horse! Also, mother, look at Shaoshang's face, it's all Yin..."

"Qiqi, I haven't removed those stones from your body." Mrs. Wan suddenly said, "It's already night, and it's not too heavy for you to be so full of jingles for anyone to see. ."

Mrs. Wan let out a snort, 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 shyly defended: "What, big mother, you don't know, now the capital is dressed like this..."

Mrs. Wan said lightly.

Wan Eqi was wilted and pitifully went to see her mother, Mrs. Wan pretended not to see it, just at this time 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.

The young merchant quickly fell down and saluted, thanking Wan Abe. 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 apparently heard Shicai's words and turned his head: "Mom, your old eyes are inconvenient, in fact, Qiqi looks very good in this way..."

Wan Qiqi looked up at her father, her eyes sparkling with joy.

Lao Wan said: "I like simplicity, your father loves sparseness, but you have been like this since you were young, and you don't know if the midwife was wrong. However, Qiqi is definitely right. of."

Mrs. Wan and Shaoshang lowered their heads, trying their best not to laugh.

Wan Songbai smacked her lips and said to her daughter: "What, Shaoshang is still hungry. You quickly take her to dinner... Uh, by the way, I changed my clothes, and, cough Cough, wear a few less in the future..."

Wan Qi answered with her head drooping, pulling Shao Shang, who was still laughing, to retire.

Wan Songbai watched the two girls go out, turned his head and said with a smile: "Mum, today I..."

Wan Songbai knew this was the right thing to do, so he reluctantly left.

"

Lao Wan said "no", 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 alright, the little sisters that Eiqi made before have not come to the capital, and now she is accompanied by a small businessman, she will not be shouting every day to go hunting. What is it? The little girl is getting older, it's time to learn to be virtuous and virtuous..." Mrs. Wan lowered her head and placed the bowl.

"...If you have something to say, say it directly." Mrs. Wan said, "Don't be sloppy. Besides, your detours are 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 go forward and beat it. How can this be done by a famous lady? I know what Yan'e said is inappropriate, but even if If you are wronged, there are other ways to solve it, so why be so extreme and rude."

"Then tell me, how to solve it. It is possible to let out this bad breath 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 knew about it, how could such a trivial matter be publicized. At best, the Yin lady should be punished a little, so how could she be so vicious?"

Mrs. Wan has always been in a peaceful state of mind, and said worriedly: "Why do you have to let out your anger? It will be done if you can't bear it."

Mrs. Wan bowed her head in silence.

Mrs. Wan said: "Didn't you want to make Qiqi and Cheng He a friend? But at the end of the day, she and Cheng He eat at the same table, walk all the way, and you can hear it when you get home. Did Qiqi mention her half a sentence? But he kept thinking about Shaoshang, and I'm afraid they're not going to sleep together tonight. I've also misunderstood, it turned out that the child was all acting stupid and stunned in front of Ge Shi. "

Mrs. Wan sighed slightly.

"It's good not to do it, but to do it will make mistakes. Although there are merits in the way of the mean, but one step of the mean will become cowardice and self-preservation." Mrs. Wan Lao said, "If Cheng The general also learns the mean, do you think I will ask Songbai to swoop in with him?! In troubled times, you can't stand up for your ally against the open sword and the dark arrow at the critical moment, what's the use?"

Mrs. Wan said in horror: "Jun Gu!"

"Qiqi is like a pines and cypresses, and Shaoshang is also like General Cheng. Their father and daughter are both open-minded and informal people. Just a young businessman is wearing Qiqi's old clothes? In fact, before Qiqi In the past two years, she has left a lot of new clothes that she never wore, but she was in a hurry to come to worship me, so she didn't go to the warehouse to search. She herself was full of beauty and luxurious, but she let guests wear old clothes, but Shao Shang had a little look not good?"

Mrs. Wan slowly opened her left eye, her eyes were already dim, but the light was still visible, "No, I see that the boy's manner is calm and his eyes are clear, and he doesn't care about it at all. Thank you, pure nature."

Mrs. Wan didn't pay attention to this at all. After listening to her mother-in-law, she tried to recall what she just saw.

"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 with you. Your brothers meet, but you treat me like a servant, and 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 him nearby. His family is small. 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 true! To say that General Cheng treats adults like brothers, no no, even brothers may not be like this. Several times in the battle, General Cheng saved him with his life. Especially that time, um, Qiqi was eight years old, and General Cheng brought back the pine and cypress covered in blood, which scared me to death!"

Thinking of the situation at that time, she was still terrified, "It's especially rare, because Songbai suffered such a serious injury, Yuan Yi, such a strong person, pounced on General Cheng, tears came down, but No complaints against us."

Lao Wan slowly closed her left eye: "Choose a friend, you don't have to dig out your heart. You have to be able to look at people, alas, I'm old too, these words should be true What my grandson said, taught him how to see people and know people, but now he is here to talk to you..."

Mrs. Wan bowed her head: "All the brides are incompetent and cannot reproduce."

"It's none of your business." Mrs. Wan sneered, "This is the case from generation to generation, the ancestors are like this, it is our turn to be sincere and fearful..." When she said this, her tone changed, "So, you fell in love with the Yin family with many children and grandchildren? Do you want to recruit Qiqi?"

Mrs. Wan turned pale with fright, and hurriedly fell down and kowtowed: "The bride doesn't dare!"

"It's nothing to be afraid of. It's not surprising that you and Auntie are as close as sisters."

Lao Wan put it 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, and we and the Cheng family can help. But the Yin family is prosperous, and Qiqi is not stupid, but he is still alone. When we are all dead, the family that your uncle has set up will probably have the surname Yin..."

Mrs. Wan was frightened, kowtowed repeatedly, and sobbed: "The bride never has the heart to eat the inside and the outside! I just thought that if I recruit a husband as a son-in-law, who is willing to be a family similar to my family, you can keep your door low. Xiaohu is afraid that he will be wronged. The Cheng family is the best, but his family is sparse, so how dare I open my mouth. Only Ayi, with so many children next to her family, might be able to nod..."

Mrs. Wan nodded: "Who said no, recruiting children is such a hassle. However, I advise you to stop thinking about it. I think Songbai loves her daughter, and the first twelve marry well. What's more, Qiqi is his heart and soul, and he must be dispelled by the scenery."

Mrs. Wan looked sideways and sobbed: "The adults are not too young, and their knees are still empty. If they don't recruit children, they won't be able to adopt, but those ... pines and cypresses in the clan will be offended..." She is not big Dare to look at the 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 Songbai. When you close your eyes, you still worry about that. At that time, my golden silk nanmu coffin You can use it 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 Mrs. Wan liked it.
