As soon as I entered the door, I found that there were already more than a dozen guests inside.

Wei was wearing a bright red jacket embroidered with gold peony flowers and a full set of gorgeous headdresses. Her face was heavily made-up, and there was a sharp and proud look between her eyebrows.

Talking to someone casually.

When Mrs. Wen saw Wei, she smiled and said, "Oh, Xiangyu looks like a bride today!"

Wei raised her face pretentiously: "What bride? I am the wife!"

Old Mrs. Wen was inexplicably interrupted and a little dazed, thinking: What is going on with this Wei family?

She was a little angry, but what could she do? So she pretended not to hear it and laughed. Just then someone in front called out, "Aunt Song, you're here!"

Old Mrs. Wen walked forward and said, "Oh, Mrs. Feng! It's been a while since we last met."

The Wen sisters followed in, and Wen Yu was the last one. When she passed by Wei, Wei pouted: "Where did this stink bug come from? It fell into my mouth! It's really looking for death!"

Wen Yu looked at Wei in surprise, looking him up and down, as if she found Wei's performance a little unbelievable.

Wei's eyes stood up...

But at this moment, a girl came over quietly: "Ayu!"

"Yier!" Wen Yu ignored Wei and left.

Wei sneered from behind.

Yi'er is Mrs. Song's niece, only a few days older than Wenyu. Mrs. Song likes her very much and often asks her to accompany her.

She and Wen Yu often meet and are quite familiar with each other.

She was busy yesterday and didn't see Wen Yu. When she saw the Wen family coming in, she went to find her, but she saw Wei in a bad mood. Yier was also stunned: What's wrong with her?

Yier's parents died early, and Mrs. Song was worried that Yier was not well educated, so she took care of her herself. At present, Yier is in charge of all the affairs in Mrs. Song's yard.

In fact, it has nothing to do with Wei.

But Wei was so proud and arrogant that she even looked down on her mother-in-law from the bottom of her heart, not to mention the orphan relative from her mother-in-law's family.

Moreover, her husband was too kind to Yier!

The girl hadn't gotten engaged yet, and she was really afraid that the old lady would make the decision and give Yi'er to her husband.

So he didn't show it on the surface, and he didn't have a very good attitude towards Yi'er in private.

Yi'er's parents died early, and she was a very sensitive person. She was too embarrassed to tell Mrs. Song about Wei's coldness, and was often upset.

"Ayu, I happened to be busy yesterday, so I didn't see you in the Zoo. I was worried that you must have been tired from the journey, so I didn't bother you last night."

"Why are you being polite? We have just met. Oh, it's been nearly a year since we last met. Are you okay?!"

"I've been staying with my aunt these days, everything is fine! Ah Yu, you are... one punch taller than me, right?"

"Yeah, I've grown a lot taller recently."

"You're so pretty!" Yi'er said sincerely, "Hey, is this... Hongdou? Why are you so dark?"

"Miss Yier, my name is Zhuzhu now. This face... has a rash, and I need to take medicine. It will be fine after a while!" Yan Zhu cared about this a lot, and she touched her little face worriedly.

"Well, even if you have a dark face, you are still good-looking..." Yier is not very good-looking, so she likes good-looking people.

"Yier, Zhuzhu is no longer my girl. My uncle adopted her as his adopted daughter. She is my sister now!"

"Ah?! Really? What's going on?! Tell me quickly!" Yi'er widened her eyes, she was also a gossipy person.

Wei stood there alone, watching Wenyu and Yier chatting animatedly. The curvy girl next to them must be the one called Hongdou! She was laughing so wildly!

What a born bitch! From the fact that her husband coaxed them to play in the zoo yesterday...I can infer that in the future, will both of them follow her husband?

She picked at her handkerchief hard. The letter from yesterday...

Who wrote it?

What is certain is that it is the people around Old Lady Wen. Moreover, Old Lady Wen may not know about this matter...

Who could it be?

What do you want to do? A red coral hairpin! She has never seen it, but she has heard of it...

Let's not talk about the exquisiteness and value. The key point is: this is her husband's intention! Since she married Song Shang, she has never counted how much money she spent on jewelry and clothes! She has never thought about this problem. Anyway, when the things are brought back, the accountant will come to settle the bill.

She once thought that this was great and that she lived a more carefree life than the noble ladies in the capital.

But she didn't expect that as a husband, he had never bought anything for her.

At most, during the Chinese New Year, she could get gifts from her husband along with her mother-in-law: neatly packaged, from their own store, all good stuff! But now that she thought about it, it didn’t take him any effort…

He went to the "Huiyuan" auction and bought the red coral hairpin!

But he gave it to that bitch Wen Yu!

This is outrageous!

…

Over there, a few women were greeting each other and chatting, it was very lively.

After a while, someone said, "Old lady, our Fifth Master is here!"

"Oh, he's here!" Mrs. Song said quickly, "Hurry up and let him come in to meet these aunts and uncles!"

Song Shang strode in, dressed in bright blue, with a smile as pure as the sky. He walked up to Mrs. Song and said, "Mother!"

Several ladies hurriedly praised him: "Oh, Shang Ge'er! Look how energetic he is!"

"Yes, yes! Such magnanimity! People would believe him even if they said he was the Marquis!"

There are many people who flatter.

These people have all benefited from Song Shang to varying degrees, so they are very enthusiastic.

Song Shang stood beside his mother, talking to everyone with a smile. Then he turned his eyes and saw the person over there, who was talking and laughing with his cousin Yier and that... Zhuzhu...

Haha, he felt at ease and satisfied.

At this time, Mrs. Song's sister-in-law pushed the girl next to her and said, "What did you make for your aunt? Take it out quickly!"

The girl's nickname was Zhenniang, and she was the lady's niece.

Seeing that Song Shang had been married for several years but still had no son, she had an idea and wanted to give her niece to Song Shang. What's the difference between a concubine and a concubine? It's the same as giving birth to a son! That Zhenniang had an oval face, big eyes, and was born very well. Her clothes and behavior made her look like a calm and stable girl! Upon hearing this, her face flushed, she responded, and went to get it.

Mrs. Song originally liked Zhenniang very much, but when she learned that her sister-in-law intended to give her to her son as a concubine, she no longer liked her very much.

She won't tolerate this kind of thing!

A lady asked, "What birthday gift did Shanger give you?"

Mrs. Song pointed to the table next to her. It was covered with red velvet and had several objects on it. "It's an ancient jade Buddha. There will be a thousand-year ceremony at Tianlong Temple in a few days. Brother Shang said he wanted to go to the Dharma image and instruments to offer sacrifices and ask the master chef to consecrate it. Come back and offer it! The niche is ready!"

Some people came closer to take a look, and knowing that it was valuable, they did not dare to pick it up, but instead praised it with admiring sounds.

"And the one next to it is a set of ruby ​​head ornaments given by Brother Shang's daughter-in-law. Oh, I am an old lady, how can I wear it outside!"

Wen Yu also found it funny when she heard Mrs. Song's chatter.

I heard that the Princess of Wu has a similar set of ruby ​​headpiece.

But what is her status? If Mrs. Song really wears such a thing when she goes out, won't she cause trouble or be laughed at?

But Wei always looked up.

The birthday gift that Zhenniang gave was a handkerchief embroidered with a hundred longevity characters.

Mrs. Song took it in her hand and looked at it carefully. Although she was a little dissatisfied with her, she could not deny that the handkerchief was really well made.

"Good girl, you have really skillful hands!"

"Yes! Zhenniang..." My sister-in-law started praising her again.

Mrs. Song nodded as she listened, then turned and handed it to the person next to her: "Put it away!"

Song Shang stood there with a smile on his face and said nothing.

Two other girls gave gifts, including purses they had made themselves, which were also very exquisite.

Old Madam Wen said quickly, "Young ladies, take out what you made for your aunt! It's definitely not as good as what Zhenniang and the others made, but you can't hide from it, so you better embarrass yourself as soon as possible!"

"Haha, aunt, what are you talking about!" Mrs. Song laughed so hard that she fell backwards.

Everyone started laughing too.

The gold-painted folding fan that Wen Jiao gave her was purchased. There were already words on the fan, so after buying it, she just had to paint it with gold powder.

Mrs. Wen looked at it, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "This girl's hands are so clumsy!"

Wen Jiao didn't care, she opened it and fanned Mrs. Song, "Aunt, this is not an ordinary fan, smell the fragrance! Isn't it nice!?"

“Smells good!”

Mrs. Song took it and fanned it, "Mm, it smells really good!"

Wen Wan gave me a necklace with six agarwood beads on it, and I could smell the fragrance. Although it was not top-grade agarwood, it was not cheap either. Fortunately, I didn't use it much, otherwise Wen Wan would feel bad.

Wen Su was the most stingy, she copied the sutras. Knowing that Mrs. Song believed in Buddhism, she would not go wrong copying this! Finally, it was Wen Yu's turn.

She held the book in her hands.

Mrs. Song took it and said, "Yu girl, what is this?"

"Aunt, this is what Yu'er drew for you!"

Song Shang leaned forward, and the mother and daughter put their heads together to look.

The first page shows a picture of a market town, with shops lining the streets and people coming and going.

On the second page, there is a little boy who is running and playing in the market. He sees someone slaughtering a pig and stands to watch the fun.

Turning the page again, the little boy went to the next door again. Someone was shouting to sell goods, and he opened his mouth curiously.

…

Then his mother saw it, went home, packed her bags, and moved.

Mrs. Song understood it immediately, "I know this! It's the story of Meng's mother moving three times!"

When she was in her boudoir, she could not read.

Even after getting married, I still didn't learn it.

Later, her husband died and she had to check the accounts, so she had to learn some characters. She was not very smart, and she was gloomy and worried. She studied very hard, but she could only check the accounts and could not even read the contracts.

After her son grew up and took charge, she felt relieved and returned everything she had learned to her husband.

It was not possible to let her read, but as soon as she saw this painting, she immediately knew it was telling the story of Meng's mother moving three times!

After taking a closer look, he was stunned again. This little boy...exactly looks like his son when he was a child!

And looking at Meng Mu...she is six points similar to me when I was young...

Mrs. Song understood immediately, and her eyes turned red...

When Song Shang saw this, her heart was filled with emotion. She had an idea...

Wen Yu handed Mrs. Song a handkerchief and said, "Aunt, my cousin's achievements today are all due to your careful teaching! You are the person Wen Yu admires the most!"

This sentence reminded Mrs. Song of the swordplay of those years. Among the Song family, there were those who wanted to kill him, those who wanted to take advantage of him, and those who wanted to lead him astray.

It is oneself who protects, manages, leads, and teaches...

It's not easy for a widow like her with no skills.

But in the end... she looked at her son in front of her: he became a better person than his father!

All of this is due to my own efforts!

Mrs. Song pulled Wen Yu: "Ayu...you are a good child."

Song Shang felt both sweet and bitter in his heart. He was afraid to reveal his emotions, so he didn't dare to look at Wen Yu, and his eyes were slightly wet.

Wei took two steps over and smiled faintly: "Cousin Wen, you are really thoughtful!"

Yes, I did it on purpose! "Thank you for the compliment, cousin!" Wen Yu smiled charmingly.

Wei was about to say something when she saw her husband take the picture album from her mother-in-law and begin to read it carefully.

Old Mrs. Wen was sitting there, and Wen Yu received Mrs. Song's affirmation, so she should be happy.

But why do I feel so sad? 　The book is about to be signed:)

Thank you for your support.
