Although even Song Zaitian didn't know why Song Yuwang had a death wish, letting his granddaughter come to his door to see him in person, and even rejecting the Duanmu family to the extent that even Duanmu Xinmiao's master, Ji Zhaodi, refused to be treated, Wei Changying couldn't just look at his uncle, who was suffering from the illness, being treated by a class of doctors who couldn't do anything to help him.
So after coming back from the Sikong mansion, she repeatedly pondered over the inner reasons.
Every two days, but some wake up, to find her husband to ask "uncle in addition to that year, insisted that the second cousin Song Huo that Duanmu colorless, and Duanmu family can have any great hatred and grudges?"
Shen Zangfeng baffled "I have not heard of ......" He is a person with a clear mind, his wife so mentioned also came to realize, "Yes, that day, Song's words in the words of the meaning of Uncle Song refused to want the Divine Physician and his disciples, all because of the loathing of the Duanmu family, not necessarily really seeking death otherwise why make the Imperial Doctor over the house day after day. All because of the loathing of the Duanmu family, it does not seem to be really seeking death otherwise, why make the Imperial Doctor over the house day after day?"
But want to understand this point, Shen Zangfeng fell more confused, "Uncle Song over the years with the Duanmu family is some political views and things, but then again, the dynasty has a lot of politics, a number of years down, who can not start disputes? Slowly said uncle Song and the master, is father and grandfather is also disputed a few times. These are not grudges -moreover, Song second cousin Hugh that Duanmu Clan is the first two years of things, before this, Uncle Song and the master is still on good terms, otherwise why would the two families have to tie down the children's family?"
Wei Chang Ying frowned, "It's really strange, how come uncle hates the Duanmu family so much?"
Shen Zangfeng then said, "Didn't you say that our righteous sister will come over after noon?"
"You also know that she's not very attentive to her family's affairs, yet she may not know it." Wei Changying sighed Song Yuwang might not be bent on seeking death, but she was so disgusted with the Duanmu family that she would rather wait for death than be treated by the Divine Doctor's lineage a point that Song Zaitian had implicitly hinted at in his words.
Although I don't know why this Song Da Cousin refused to say it clearly, but Song Zaitian since he saw it, the reminder of his sister's son-in-law's words only went as far as Song Yuwang hating the Duanmu family, obviously he also didn't know why must have probed with the Imperial Master and didn't find out or Duanmu Sheng knew but refused to say it. Whichever the case, in short, Song Zaitian did not know, the possibility that Duanmu Xinmiao can ask is not high.
Shen Zangfeng laughed "Don't underestimate this righteous sister of ours, she may not be attentive, but she may not be unable to find out. If not, why would First Cousin Song express Uncle Song's dislike of the Duanmu family to us?"
Wei Changying was surprised and said, "Xinmiao is so capable now?" He saved these words in his heart.
After noon, Duanmu Xinmiao was invited to come, Wei Changying led her to take a seat, because the two were familiar with each other from the past, at this moment there is no need to be too polite, a little bit of pleasantries, Wei Changying was to open the door to talk about their own uncle's business not always feel that Duanmu Xinmiao where not right, looked at a moment before she came to her senses, and couldn't help but be surprised that "Why are you still dressed like this when you're out of the cabinet?"
Duanmu Xinmiao was dressed in a short jacket in goose yellow with a green skirt and a gold hairpin with a jade ring. Her hair was neatly dressed, but her head was covered with green silk and her hair was in a bun a hair style only a young girl who had not left the court would wear. Wei Changying remembered that she had left the court at the beginning of May, when she was still in Xiliang, so why was she dressed as an unmarried woman? Even if she didn't get along well with Huo Shenyuan, she had to cover up a bit when she was out and about!
Not wanting to hear this, Duanmu Xinmiao looked at her with even more surprise and said, "Huo Shenyuan's birth mother went in April, sister-in-law you don't know?"
Wei Changying said, "I've only just returned, so I don't think the people underneath me have bothered to report. I've only just returned, and I don't think the people under me have had time to report to them," said Wei Changying, "I've only just returned, and I don't think the people under me have had time to report to them yet. Moreover, my maternal uncle has been sick since the beginning of spring, two days ago I went with your third brother to visit the Sikong residence, and I have been remembering this for the past two days!"
As soon as Duanmu Xinmiao heard this, she said, "I know what you're looking for me to do today Zhu Ran you put away the medicine bag."
Mrs. Su picked up Duanmu Xinmiao to come to Tai Fu House, the reason is that several days did not see the righteous daughter, very miss. So after Duanmu Xinmiao came, she first accompanied Mrs. Su in the upper room and exchanged pleasantries for a long time. Afterwards, in order to be concerned about the face of her sister Duanmu YanYu, and also to save time, Mrs. Su said that Wei ChangYing had just come back from the Western Liang, and that this mother-in-law was afraid that her daughter-in-law would be tired on the road, so she invited her daughter-in-law to the Jintong Courtyard to show her to the three daughters-in-law, and then she sent her to the third house directly.
Duanmu Xinmiao didn't know if it was true or not, and specially ordered people to bring the medicine bag with them when they came over.
At this moment, listening to Wei Changying turn the topic to Song Yuwang, she is a bit of understanding, waved his hand to let people quit, sip tea said "This thing sister-in-law, you ask me is useless, the beginning of the year, your cousin Song asked me to go out to ask about the details in private. I was confused at that time, entrusted by her, after returning to the house also went to grandfather to inquire about it. But grandfather also said he didn't know where he offended Song Sikong!"
Song Yu Wang just fell ill this year, the master personally visited the door, proposed to let his granddaughter to his medical treatment was rejected that would, Wei old lady has not passed away, Song in the water of course, these children also do not have to go to Jiangnan condolences, so the father's real mind, from Song Yu Wang and get no answer, and indeed turned to the Duanmu family to ask the truth.
Wei Changying felt that it was a bit tricky and muttered, "So cousin was still in the imperial capital?"
"Speaking of which, this is really strange." Duanmu Xinmiao leaned in close to Wei Changying and said in a low voice, "I hadn't paid attention to Song Sikong's character before, but after third sister-in-law and your cousin inquired about him, and before I went to see Grandfather, I asked my stepmother about him--Song Sikong isn't a man of small stature! Our family really doesn't have any major grievances with him, so why did he first try to get your second cousin Song to repudiate Duanmu Wucolor, and then gamble to the point where he even gave up his life in order to hate our Duanmu family? According to this matter of Duanmu WuSe, more angry should be our Duanmu family is right, even if Duanmu WuSe as the daughter-in-law of the Song family has all sorts of not virtuous, Song Sikong but even let her decency to die a violent death are not willing to. The face of our Duanmu family has been disgraced! How is it that this still doesn't assuage Song Sikong's anger?"
Wei Changyin said, "This is really weird! If it's for Duanmu Wushe, I don't think uncle would be like this, is there a misunderstanding somewhere?" Song Yuwang is a man who has been sitting in a prominent position for decades, and it is impossible for him to hold a grudge for his daughter-in-law's lack of virtue to such an extent that is, he is a commoner, and there is no man who holds a grudge against a daughter-in-law who has been dismissed from the family.
Just like what Duanmu Xinmiao said Duanmu Wucolor was repudiated matter, suffer greater loss is obviously the Duanmu family rather than the Song family. Moreover, after Song Zaitian married the Min family's daughter, love and harmony, last year also gave birth to a son, a small life and beautiful ...... Song Yuwang is no longer heartbroken son is not likely to make this scene for this matter. How do you think there is an inside story.
Duanmu Xinmiao said ''Third sister-in-law you thought of, where my grandfather would not think of? He did not kneel before the palace, but also personally ran to the Sikong House with Song Sikong open and honest to it. But my grandfather is so low, according to even if it is the murder of the son, Song Sikong should give a charter is not it? However, Song Sikong simply does not recognize! So ah sister-in-law, not that I do not help you, I also puzzled!"
Wei Changying sighed since Duanmu Xinmiao couldn't solve this problem, and she wasn't familiar with the rest of the Duanmu family, she could only think of something else.
The two said that there are a few years have not seen, at this moment can not say that Duanmu Xinmiao can not answer the doubts on the loose, there is no need to catch up with the old.
Wei Changying had spent the last few years bringing up children in Xiliang, first her niece, then her son, and the rest of them either had nothing to say or were not convenient to describe in detail. Duanmu Xinmiao's description was even simpler in a nutshell, ever since she was brought back to the imperial capital by her fourth uncle, Duanmu Qin, from Western Liang, she had been doing one thing preparing for her marriage.
"Earlier when people did not decide, big sister and stepmother repeatedly told me 'how not to learn needle and thread women's red, how not to learn the qin and chess calligraphy and painting, so how to find a good family yo'." Duanmu Xinmiao confided, "Later settled, I thought in my heart this time to give me relief, right? As a result, the big sister and stepmother and said 'how not to learn needle and thread women's red, how not to learn the qin and chess calligraphy and painting, so that in the future can be how to do a person praised by the virtuous daughter-in-law, yo' ...... do not say, say more are tears!"
Wei Changying laughed out loud, seeing Duanmu Xinmiao's radiant expression, there was no trace of the gloom of having to cancel her marriage because she was already old but not yet married, and her fiancé had to observe her mother's filial piety, so she joked, "Your sister and your mother are doing this for your own good, and as a senior, the requirement for a daughter-in-law is always to be virtuous. "
"I also know ah." Duanmu Xinmiao sighed, "But look at me, Third Sister-in-Law, do you think I'm the kind of person who can learn to be a virtuous person? Besides, my big sister and stepmother, while letting me learn this and that to please my husband's family, saying 'you don't learn all this, and then marry into the Huo family and no one will look up to you how to do it', and at the same time, saying 'you ah, just put your mind at ease, Huo family, that Mrs. Gu is a generous person, and although your husband is a commoner, he is the son of Mrs. Gu as Huo's son, but the husband is the son of a concubine. Although your son-in-law is a concubine, he was raised by Mrs. Gu as if he were a great son of Huo, and this Huo Shenyuan's temperament follows his first mother's, so he is very generous. Which one do you think I should believe?"
Wei Chang Ying laughed and said, "Your sister and your hall are really interesting people ......"
"But I'm quite good compared to Gu Rouzhang." Seeing Wei Changying not hiding her gloating, Duanmu Xinmiao glared at her and after a moment's thought, she grunted, "Gu Rouzhang will be leaving the court in October this year, but didn't her mother pass away? Now it is your cousin Su specially rushed back to teach her the rules and etiquette before leaving the cabinet your cousin Su is really good means, the Gu Rouzhang see the wind and rain can not be seen, can only be detained in the backyard to learn the sister-in-law arranged for her all kinds of skills. I went back to see her last time, waited half a day to give half an hour to meet, Gu Rouzhang saw me, almost jumped into my arms and cried out!"
Wei Chang Ying laughed and said, "Zuo Zhang just loves to make a fuss, my cousin Su is a famously virtuous person, so how could she be harsh on her?"
"Nowadays, she and I are afraid of this kind of virtuous person you said!" Duanmu Xinmiao said, "We are a little less than satisfactory, immediately pulled out the ancient heaven and earth virtuous wife and mother as a model, and then compared us to nothing! And then attributed to the 'do not do so inevitably miserable no good end' of the eternal road you say good life is not it? If you want to be virtuous, why don't you be virtuous behind closed doors, so virtuous that no one knows about them, forcing everyone to look up to them, what is this not to screw all the women in the world?"
Wei Changying laughed, "It's fine if you say this in front of me, but if you say it outside, your sister's and your mother's hard work will go down the drain. You must be careful!"
"I know, I know last time I revealed something at my big sister's place, I ended up being chanted at by her for nearly two hours, it's killing me!" Duanmu Xinmiao rested her cheeks and groaned.
"You've been talking about Zuozhang for such a long time, and I still don't even know whose family she's promised to." Wei Changying peeled a grape and handed it over to her, smiling.
The Wei family has not been married to the Imperial Gu family for several generations, and the Shen family's direct kinship with the Imperial Gu family is with Shen Xuan's parents' generation. And Shen Xuan's parents' generation, or with the Gu family side branch, Gu Yiran that a knot. So although Gu Rouzhang relied on the Shen family to escort Wei Changying's team to Xiliang to visit her husband, the relationship between the two sides was not good enough for Gu Rouzhang to tell Wei Changying when she left the court if Wei Changying was in the imperial capital, she would have to receive a post.
Duanmu Xinmiao took the grapes and ate them, smiling, "Who else could it be but her cousin Pei Jieji?"
