Chapter 148 Will it be awkward?
The window was half-open, revealing the wintersweet forest that Wei Fengxing had planted for her when he was alive.
Time flies, and now the flowers are standing tall and graceful, blooming beautifully, with a fragrant aroma.
The layout of the house is elegant, and it has remained the same for ten years. Even the four nanmu and primrose-colored carved silk glass screens in the distance have never been changed.
Lady Shunguogong slowly turned around and looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the opposite wall.
It was Wei Fengxing who taught her step by step after marriage.
When she was still a girl, she really couldn't understand why the Wei family came to ask for marriage.
She was a stranger to Wei Fengxing.
Although they were both in the capital, as a noble lady from an aristocratic family, she had been restrained since childhood to follow the rules and never had contact with men outside.
The few times they met were either at palace banquets or banquets hosted by various aristocratic families, and they only glanced at each other from afar.
The real conversation was on the day when the Loyal and Brave Marquis got married.
She and the wife of the Loyal and Brave Marquis were close friends.
Wei Fengxing accompanied the Loyal and Brave Marquis to marry her.
When the newlyweds knelt down to bid farewell to the bride's parents and offered tea, the crowd was noisy, firecrackers were set off outside, and the atmosphere was full of joy.
She was watching the ceremony in the corner, but was pushed by a naughty child who came from nowhere. Her body was a little unstable, but fortunately she was supported.
"Miss Ning, stand still."
Wei Fengxing's voice was as gentle as others, as gentle as jade.
She thanked him in a light voice, and then quietly distanced the two of them.
The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, who learned about this later, had stars in her eyes.
"You said Wei Fengxing helped you?"
"That shouldn't be the case. He never gets close to women. You also know that the sons of the Wei family are all outstanding. Many people are eager to marry him, but he has always avoided them."
Unlike the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, she had a calm face.
"I'm different."
The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery agreed: "Yes, you look so good, and your figure is so soft..."
"What nonsense?"
She said in a light voice: "I mean I'm promised to someone, and we're going to get married next year. His helping hand is not considered inappropriate in the eyes of outsiders, and it won't cause him any trouble."
But she still married him a year later.
Sitting on the wedding bed, it would be a lie to say that I didn't feel uneasy.
He lifted the veil and drank the wedding wine with him. They cut a strand of hair together, braided it into a heart knot, and placed it on the head of the bed.
His eyes were gentle and tender.
"Would it be awkward if I called you Madam?"
This was the second sentence they said.
Awkward.
Very awkward.
But she has always acted cautiously and has never been found wrong.
At such a close distance, she met Wei Fengxing's eyes, with a perfect smile on her lips, not more, not less: "No."
Wei Fengxing didn't know whether he believed it or not.
The candles in the room were crackling, and the curtains of the wedding bed were lowered by him.
The sight darkened.
"Suchan, tell me if it hurts."
This was the third sentence he said to her. He
called her by her name affectionately, from Miss Ning to Madam.
It looked very step-by-step.
But the process was very fast.
Ning Suchan felt at that time that this man was not simple.
He looked gentle, but his presence was too strong. He could not be ignored.
But he was not disgusting.
They were married, so it was right for him to call her anything.
After she got pregnant, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery came to see her.
"What's the matter?"
"I got married earlier than you, but there's still no movement."
"Suchan, your man is amazing." She
was already a wife, but she still couldn't stand these dirty words, and she talked to the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery about the rules and words and deeds for half an hour.
After giving birth, little Wei Zhao cried the most.
Even Wei Fengxing couldn't hold her.
But when she was in her arms, she was so well-behaved.
She held the little guy in her arms and was reluctant to let go.
Until the death of the previous emperor and the ascension of the new emperor. Wei Fengxing's brother died on the border.
She lay beside the cradle with her black hair loose, looking at the two-year-old child with a sad face.
Guizhi... if she was a girl, it would be so great.
Later, Wei Fengxing died. She was in a daze, and she felt that the sky had fallen. Everyone asked her to mourn and take care of herself.
She really had to take care of herself.
Guizhi hadn't started a family yet.
She couldn't let it go.
But now...
what could she not let go of?

Different from Shangjing.
The light in Ze County was bright, and it was rare that there was no wind, and it felt warm on her body.
The mist that had accumulated in Ze County for many years was dispelled, showing a thriving scene.
Everyone was talking about the punishment of the prisoners in the cell by the censor who came to the capital in recent days.
"All the people tried yesterday were sentenced to death. The day before yesterday was the same."
"Those people are actually afraid, saying they will never do it again, and ask the adults to forgive them this time, and they will definitely turn over a new leaf. Pah! Such words should be left to the King of Hell when they are reincarnated."
"I was wondering how the magistrate of Ze County dared to mine privately, but it turns out that he used all the money to honor the prefect."
"How greedy he is."
"Those people are not short of money, how can they have the nerve to keep increasing taxes on us poor people?" Taxes
on land, heads, corvée, and military service have made everyone breathless. Not to mention the additional road permits in Ze County.
Especially in the countryside.
How much money is there in the belly in a year?
It turns out that it all went into the pockets of those corrupt officials.
Some people wiped their tears.
"Over the years, there have been countless bodies buried under the mines in the west. The censor sent people to dig up a lot of human bones. The mines are now closed and no one can go in or out. My brother got into trouble there and now he can go to the post station to collect compensation."
Someone was particularly excited.
"Do you remember the constables who collected the pass before? How they beat people to death? The censor said to let them die in the same way."
"I must go and see it then!"
Someone was confused.
"It's strange. I'm afraid those people have embezzled so much money that they can't count it. But the censor sent people to search, but they didn't find a single copper coin. I don't know where they hid it!"
"They have been tortured, but they are crying and pretending to be innocent, saying it's impossible and that they don't know."
"Bah, can money have legs and run away by itself?"
"Are you treating those nobles who came to Beijing as fools? They are about to die, why don't they know whether to live or die."
This matter is not only spread on the street.
It is also spread in the alley.
Yu Tingwan hugged the heater and cracked melon seeds.
She has her period and has been a bit lazy these days.
Madam Zhao: "You may not know, that Dong family! The Dong family that wants to harm young girls and their marriages."
Yu Tingwan: ...
She knows it too well.
Madam Zhao: "We tried him yesterday."
"Mr. Dong may have been too old and afraid of death, or he may have been scared because his finger was bitten, anyway, he confessed everything."
"They say he was in the business of human trafficking, and he kidnapped boys and sold them to families who couldn't give birth to sons. Some good-looking girls were sold to brothels by him, and some were used as favors by him. He really has a conscience." "
His head was broken. It is said that in addition to the secret room at home, there are also several anonymous villas where he has buried his ill-gotten gains over the years." "
He has bribed officials in the four cities, and the money he has given away over the years is worth tens of thousands of gold."
Madam Zhao: "The censor immediately had people dig up those villas. Guess what?"
Yu Tingwan: ...
"I guess... they are all empty."
There have been some changes at the end of Chapter 146
