While Wei Chang Ying was in Xilang remembering the spring snow in the imperial capital, it was raining instead of snowing.
Silky spring rain like a fine needle, look at the soft and gentle, reach out and take it, must still be with the early spring of the weather.
Hit on the eaves of the house, issued a spring silkworms eat leaves like a pleasant rustle, continuous, there is a kind of indescribable tantalizing.
At this time of the year, although you still have to wear a jacket, but the Imperial City, between the pink walls and tiles, washed by the spring rains, such as smoke and mist and such as emerald grass, has been thriving.
is full of spring colors.
The rain sounds like music, and the deep courtyard is silent.
Early spring afternoon, people are most likely to be sleepy. Alone in the study of Song Yuwang busy with official business, only to read a book for a while, the eyes are sore and intolerable, put down the hands of the scrolls, look out the window to relieve a lack of.
The first thing that comes to mind is that as the rain pounds from time to time to the railing of the fluttering banana leaves, do not intentionally look at it can also be felt that it is full of abundant vitality and greenness. Not only bananas, is full of the season, many grasses and trees in the courtyard, are scrambling to be the first to happen, the first branches and leaves unique delicate green, washed by the rain, more and more tender and dripping, look at it for a long time as if the most precious seem to radiate the glory of vitality.
The sound of the rain, no description of the heavenly music, cut and cacophony, without stopping, without interruption, such as heaven and earth interplay of the grand music. Song Yu look and listen for a moment, his eyes rested on the tip of the banana leaf condensation out of a water droplet, crystal clear, full of fresh green can not compete for its glory, but unfortunately not long before it fell down, fell into the sludge, and then never see ......
His heart stirred, and suddenly he remembered the scene of the two of them talking and laughing together in this study when his wife was still alive.
At that time, his wife, Wei Cicada Ying, loved to look at the bananas on the window pane in her spare time. Song Yuwang once asked the reason, Wei Cicada Shadow said it was because when she was a child, there was a bush of bananas outside the house where she lived, and when she heard footsteps, she would lie down on the window and look at it, and if it was her father who came, her mother would pick up Wei Cicada Shadow and pass her through the window,......, and then her father would carry his daughter, walk leisurely through the corridor, and come into the house to meet his wife.
Although ...... Wei Cicada Shadow is also a Rui Yu Tang s miss in theory, the daughter of the Fengzhou Wei Clan, she is actually not worthy of Song Yuwang.
She was born from the side branch of Rui Yu Tang, and her bloodline was even further away than Wei Yu's house. Her father and brother are not very talented, and they rely on their meager inheritance to make ends meet. Because his grandmother had contracted a disease, he sold part of his ancestral property in order to cure the disease, and the family's life became more and more difficult. Later on, his father could not even help but ask someone to get a stewardship position in Rui Yu Tang, and the world's servants to grab a bite to eat.
The only son of Jiangnan Hall, Song Yuwang, would marry her because Song Tain, the father of Mrs. Song, was obsessed with his late wife and had done many ridiculous things. As Song Tan's nephew, Duanhui Gong Song Xinping didn't dare to take the risk of his only adult son, so he had to agree to a marriage that didn't match.
Initially, Song Xinping was actually interested in his cousin, Mrs. Song's own daughter, Wei Zhengyin. Song Yuwang, as the only son, was destined to take over the Jiangnan Hall in the future when his brothers died in droves. Wei Zheng Yin, the only daughter of the Wei Clan's warlord, was the right wife for him.
But Wei Zheng Yin was several years younger than Song Yu Wang, and although Old Lady Song valued her firstborn son more than her own daughter, yet this was only compared to Wei Zheng Hong. The old madam had survived with just one son and one daughter, so of course she was very concerned about her own daughter's marriage. Therefore, after Song Xinping privately discussed with her, Old Lady Song did not immediately nod, but asked her nephew to come to his residence to live for a period of time, so that she can personally observe his disposition and behavior, whether it is suitable for their own daughters.
For this request Song Xinping does not oppose, he is only a first son, naturally hope that Song Yuwang can couple love and harmony. And Song Yuwang is a man, in order to marry a good wife, by the cousin aunt and future mother-in-law to examine a period of time, spread out will only be a good story; can not let Wei Zhengyin a girl to live in the Song family for a period of time to let the future aunt to see if it is not agreeable to strike?
So Song Yuwang stayed at the Wei family in the name of asking his aunt and uncle Wei Huan for help with his homework. Then, before he could wait for his cousin Wei Zheng Yin to grow up, he first met Wei Cicada Ying, who had to personally rush to the Wei residence to look for his father due to his mother's sudden illness and the lack of extra servants at home.
When we first met Wei Cicada Ying worried about her mother, regardless of the identity of the show, not to say thorn hairpin cloth skirt, but also clothing worn out, look frightened - but these can not stop Song Yu Wang fell in love with her at first sight, just inquired about her father's name, and even if she has a marriage contract is not as good as to ask, and returned to the Song family Song Xinping proposed to marry Wei Cicada Ying's request.
Song Xinping of course reluctant, he has only one son, Song Yuwang has no brothers as arms, is counting on the support of his wife's family - his cousin, Mrs. Song and his cousin's husband, Wei Huan, are all people with excellent skills, married to their only daughter, to the old lady Song's nature of the importance of biological flesh and blood, not afraid that she will not be able to help a little bit of Song Yuwang.
However, in view of the crazy behavior of the Song family's lovebirds, Song Xinping, who was afraid that something would happen to his only son, still went to explain the situation to Old Lady Song with a shy face and a stiff upper lip. The good thing is that Mrs. Song did not get angry when she found out, but was relieved, and only said, "Thanks to the fact that we didn't get engaged earlier, no one outside knows about it now, and it won't delay the children."
So the Su family's third wife almost became the Song family's daughter-in-law this thing noiselessly was covered up in the past, know, only the Song Xinping couple and the Song old lady couple, as well as Song Yuwang himself ...... even Wei Zheng Yin are because of the young, and do not know that he almost is married to his mother's maternal cousin nephew, rather than today's Su family's three old masters.
Wei Cicada Ying was able to pass through the door safely and smoothly against the envious stares of the crowd.
Her family's poverty and straitened upbringing has cultivated her gentle and silent nature. Even after marrying Song Yu Wang also did not because of the sudden wealth and Song Yu Wang's favor on the extravagant, this huge mansion, when she lived in the identity of the hostess, the only request made is to plant a bush of plantain outside the study.
Song Yuwang had many times imagined the scene of his wife's early childhood: his father worked as a steward in Rui Yu Tang, as a member of the clan on an equal footing with the world's servants, and was both bitter and busy; his mother guarded the family business and the children, and also worked day and night, and did not feel at ease with his young daughter, so he always brought her in front of him.
Rarely father returned on vacation, mother and daughter are not waiting for him to go around the corridor into the house, through the window can not wait to talk. The youngest daughter is lying on the edge of the window, waiting for her father to hold a hug, so the mother read the daughter's mood, hand her out through the window, from the window to the door into the house, so a way, Wei Cicada shadow on the basis of the young can be held by the father, into the house, and then salute......
This is perhaps the most memorable and warmest memory of Wei Cicada Ying's childhood, so gentle as she is, she also opened her mouth when she discovered that outside the study there was a patchwork of exotic flowers and grasses, but only the unusual plantain was missing....... In fact, this clump of plantains is not the one that Wei Cicada Ying had asked to be planted before.
The clump that started it all died long before Wei Cicada Shadow passed away.
Kettle after kettle of boiling water was poured down and even the roots died cleanly.
Song Yuwang invited the most prestigious florist in the imperial capital, but failed to save even a small plant.
The order to kill the plantains was given by Wei Cicada Shadow, a woman who refused to step on even a single ant in her life, the reason why she would ruthlessly dispose of an innocent clump of plantains was because of her dying words, "Forget about me."
Wei House in the glimpse, ten years of love and affection, envy countless bystanders. At the end of the day, all Wei Cicada Ying asked for was for him to forget about her.
The woman's life is thin and she is about to pass away, but her husband is in his prime. With their love, Wei Cicada Ying is not worried about the children who have not yet grown up, she is only worried that her husband will follow the example of the ancestors of the Song family, and will not forget himself, so that this marriage will become the shackles of his life.
So she took advantage of her breath is still alive, take advantage of the Song Yu Wang is not there, ordered people to burn all their own all used things, even outside the window of this clump of banana she asked to plant, also did not let go - even wrote a letter to let their own father and brother to sell the property to return to the Fengzhou, and do not easily with the Song Yu Wang and their children to come and go again. He even wrote a letter asking his father and brother to sell their properties and return to Fengzhou, and not to have any further contact with Song Yuwang and his children.
As a wife, she made only two requests of her husband in her life, and even personally ordered the first one to be completely eradicated for the sake of the second one ......
But a few pots of boiling water easily watered the roots of the banana, her existence, but has long been deeply rooted to the engraved in the soul of Song Yu Wang, unforgettable for all eternity.
Even though she destroyed them, Song Yuwang ordered them to be restored one by one and put them back in their original places from memory. Even the banana outside the window was sent to be moved from the courtyard of Wei Cicada Ying's mother's house.
He tried his best to maintain all the things that his wife had when she was here, and also pretended that she was still on earth, just not in front of him at the moment, or in the boudoir, or in the pool bank, perhaps the next moment, he would send his subordinates to invite, or he went over to see ...... the eulogies hanging high in the study, and the empty study that was all alone reminded Song Yuwang that the man had gone. ......
Stroking the red silk rope that Wei Cicada shadow knotted with her own hands when she was in the wrist, Song Yuwang thought despondently, "There is no you in the world, and what does a city full of spring colors have to do with me?"
He suddenly felt that he could not bear to look at the plantains, and was about to ask someone to come over to close the window, cover the line of sight. Unexpectedly, but saw a banana behind the turn of a young girl with a goose yellow dress, wearing a hat, figure graceful, came close to the window to see Song Yu Wang is looking at this side of their own, raised the white as the moon's hand uncovered the gauze raised on the edge of the hat to reveal the bright as the color of spring, but unfortunately in the corner of the forehead there is a scar damage to the face to, guanerliao smile, ten thousand blessings for the salute: "father! "
"...... you came?" Song Yu Wang is thinking of his late wife, at first was interrupted by his daughter to come over, stunned for a moment, before raising his voice through the window and commanded, "There is no need to be polite, and come in to talk."
Song Zaishui went up to the corridor, listening to the sound of his daughter's wooden clogs stepping over the wooden planks of the corridor, Song Yuwang momentarily immersed into Wei Cicada Shadow's story of how she looked forward to her father's return when she was a child. He waited until Song Zhaoshui entered the door, arrived in front of him and made a gesture of standing by with her hands hanging down, he was in a trance for a moment before remembering why his daughter had come over now - it was he who had sent someone over last night to instruct Song Zhaoshui to come over at this hour.
Fixed his mind, Song Yu Wang ordered the left and right to exit first, only then said softly: "Yesterday, your cousin's husband specially went to the Yamen to seek for the father, he proposed the marriage for his only son. It is said that you have met, my father did not ask you, for fear that you do not like, so said to deliberate and then give him a reply, but do not know what you yourself think?"
Song Zhaoshui was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Unknown which cousin's husband is father talking about?"
In her heart there is a most likely candidate, but everyone in the family of three relatives of the most but, not to mention that she is now appearance damage years also long, not compared to the serious full-fledged Miss identity, not very people simply do not dare to open this mouth - low marriage is eight out of ten. Nine things, dare to open the door of the family also more up, may be guessed wrong?
Song Yuwang said, "It's your Wei family's second cousin's husband, whose only son is called Su Yuwang."
