Chapter 7
Xie Zhijun was annoyed, but there was always a just right smile on his lips.

Those mocking words didn't seem to be heard at all, but she just replied softly: "Aunt Xie for your advice, my niece and daughter-in-law will conduct themselves carefully, and will definitely not insult Wei and Xie's families."

This is beautifully said.

Not only did it show the mind of the aristocratic family, but it also made up for Weiying, and resolved the embarrassment on the table.

However, Wei Ying was born blind, unable to see the embarrassment of the people at the table, nor the smile on Xie Zhiyun's face.

The corners of her drooping eyes raised slightly, and the sharpness in her eyes hit Xie Zhiyun again.

"Sure enough, she's a lady from the Xie family. She's really sharp-tongued."

This is a bit harsh to say.

Xie Zhijun saw that Weiying was coming for her, so this time she didn't even respond to the scene, but lowered her head in aggrieved manner.

Wei Cang's face remained unchanged, he only touched Cui Ji lightly, and Cui Ji wanted to dissuade him.

Unexpectedly, it was Wei Ji who spoke this time.

Wei Ji picked up the wine glass, stood up and stood shoulder to shoulder with Xie Zhiyun.

He bowed to Weiying from a distance, with a slender figure, like an eagle spreading its wings, shielding the chicks behind him from the wind and snow.

Wei Ji's voice was crisp, like the ringing of a bell, echoing in the listening room.

"My aunt came home from a long way, and the family is not familiar with each other. It is also common sense. The century-old lintel of the Xie family has been the pillar of the country since the pre-Qin period. Needless to say, the tutors in the family, aunt is right to worry, but don't worry too much. .”

Xie Zhiyun was too surprised to speak.

She blinked Xingyuan's eyes, and secretly glanced at Wei Ji's generous back, the cat in her heart kept crawling.

Wei Ying also had no good looks at Wei Ji, but she knew what is proper at this moment, looked at Wei Ji forced a smile, said: "What are you doing so seriously, it's just a joke with your wife, it's a big deal. "

Wei Ji didn't say anything, he drank the wine in the glass neatly, slid his right hand down, and grabbed Xie Zhijun's wrist.

With a little force on his hand, the heat swept over, almost igniting the temperature of Xie Zhiyun's wrist.

Xie Zhiyun was dragged back to the chair unconsciously by him.

After introducing them, it was time for the second-bedroom couple.

Cui Ji smiled and said: "Yao'er's wife is from the Wu family, from the Yu family in Lidu, her father is Yu Feihu, the great general of Shangzhu Kingdom, and her father-in-law is a brother-in-law."

Wei Ying's eyes fell on Yu Hanzhao, this time his complexion was much softer, and there was also kindness in his eyes.

Xie Zhiyun found that she was really a thousand faces, she could change her face faster than turning the pages of a book, and she didn't hide it, one could tell she was a capable person.

Sure enough, facing Yu Hanzhao, who was from the Wu family, her attitude became much better: "It's better to be a girl from the Wu family. Look at this neat appearance, she is suitable to be my daughter-in-law of the Wei family."

Yu Hanzhao didn't talk much, and she didn't know how to talk about these scenes. She just bowed her hands and saluted. After a toast with Wei Ying, she sat down.

The eyes of everyone in the hall fell on Ji Xiuxiu.

Cui Ji's smile remained unchanged: "This is Rong'er's wife, Ji Xiuxiu, who was born in the Ji family of Taixing. Her family is good at business, and she is a well-known voluntary merchant in the eight states under the rule of the father-in-law."

This introduction greatly honored Ji Xiuxiu.

But after the verbal fight just now when he entered the door, Weiying obviously didn't like Ji Xiuxiu's publicity and rudeness.

She glanced at Ji Xiuxiu, saw her stand up and salute to herself, her face was slightly cold: "Eldest sister-in-law, but elder brother ruled Bazhou without a good daughter? Why did you choose such a lady to come into the house?"

Although it is a chaotic situation now, the Wu family is prosperous, and the clan is still standing, but the merchants are able to support the Wu family because of their good management, and they also have a place in the clan.

In troubled times, those who are capable are respected.

What's more, the Ji family is not an ordinary merchant. Now the entire eight states under Su Guogong's rule have their own business names, and there are seven things to do, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are imperial merchants.

With Ji Xiuxiu's firecracker temper, why don't you just blow it up?
Xie Zhijun sat there obediently and acted as her Mrs. Boqian, with her earlobes slightly dilated, wanting to hear a scolding right away.

As a result, Ji Xiuxiu just lowered her head, held the wine, and remained motionless, she actually endured it.

This time it was Wei Rong who came out to smooth things over: "Auntie, the food is getting cold, and my nephew is a little hungry, why don't we eat earlier?"

Then Weiying snorted: "Forget it, you're married, what else can you say?"

From the corner of her eyes, Xie Zhiyun saw that Ji Xiuxiu's hand holding the wine glass was bruised, but she still didn't say a word, drank the wine and sat down.

Then Wei Cang smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat vegetables and eat vegetables. The daughters-in-law are all good children, very good, very good!"

With his words, the atmosphere in the listening room was much better.

The Wei family has never had the rule of not eating or sleeping, or in other words, the Wei family has no rules.

During the dinner, Xie Zhiyun ate food quietly, Wei Cang and Wei Ying could hear the conversation, they seemed to be talking about Shen Wenru's condition, every word was full of worry.

But for Wen Chun who only heard the name, no one in the family mentioned it.

Xie Zhiyun has been married into Su Guogong's mansion for more than two months, and she has never heard of Shen Wenchun mentioned by anyone, let alone such a cousin in the family.

Xie Zhijun was thinking a lot in his heart, but his face was silent.

She was eating sliced ​​bamboo shoots in golden soup with chopsticks when she heard Wei Ji beside her whisper, "This dish is spicy."

How do you know that she is not good at eating Xin?
Xie Zhijun raised his eyebrows, and the hand holding the bamboo shoots trembled slightly, and the bamboo shoots, which were as thin as cicada's wings, fell into the white porcelain dish of Wei halberd.

"My husband, please use it."

Xie Zhiyun smiled, and looked at Wei Ji gently and gracefully. Wei Ji was silent for a moment, and his deep star eyes fell down, and he glanced at her slender wrist.

He doesn't have so many rules, and he is not picky about food, clothing, housing, and transportation, so he will not refuse the dishes that Xie Zhiyun put on the plate.

Wei Ji said: "Thank you, madam."

As he said so, he put the two pieces of bamboo shoots in his mouth and chewed carefully. After a while, his starry eyes raised and his eyes fell on Xie Zhiyun's face.

"It's delicious."

For some reason, Xie Zhijun only felt his face burn.

The husband and wife are "eye-to-eye" here, but the elders around them are fighting with swords and swords.

After the blush on Xie Zhiyun's face dissipated, Wei Ying's sharp voice was heard in his ears.

"Although it happened for a reason, both Yao'er and Rong'er got married earlier than Bo Qian. After all, they are younger brothers. How can they go over the elder brother? The elder brother is really partial."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the listening room.

Wei Cangquan didn't seem to notice it, and just smiled and said: "At that time, Boqian was leading the army while the North Vietnam was fighting for several years. The two young brothers in the family had grown up, and the marriage made in the early years couldn't be dragged on forever, so I asked In order to be arbitrated by the government, I specially consecrated the marriage."

On the surface, the Sima clan in North Vietnam is still in charge of the imperial power, but in fact, among the sixteen states in North Vietnam, eight states only obey the orders of the Duke of Su.

However, at present, the North Vietnamese border is safe and sound, and there is no war on the surface, which can be regarded as a peaceful country and a peaceful country.

Wei Cang said that the marriage between Wei Yao and Wei Rong was a special gift from Emperor Tianqi himself, and it can be regarded as a good gesture between Yingzhou and Yezhou.

Wei Ying's face turned pale, she looked at Wei Yao and Yu Hanzhao, and there was a little more kindness between her brows.

"That's all."

Afterwards, Wei Ying didn't say any more, and when the meal was finished, Wei Cang got up and said, "I have something to do ahead of me, you stay in the main courtyard to talk for a while, get to know each other, and wait until Rest when you are tired."

Wei Cang left this "good intention" and strode away with his hands behind his back, completely unaware of the surging torrent behind him.

When the Duke left, the servants immediately took away the food on the table, replaced it with tea fruit in the main room, and asked them to move around and chat.

Naturally, Cui Ji and Wei Ying sat in the main seat together, followed by the second wife and all the wives and wives.

Sitting next to Wei Ji, Xie Zhiyun saw oranges on the table, so he glanced at Zhao Yu, who stood behind them peeling the oranges.

The sweet taste penetrated into the nostrils, which made Xie Zhijun sober up a lot.

At this time, Wei Ying opened his mouth.

"Yao'er and his wife have been married for more than a year, but they have no children for a long time. We still have to think more about Wei Shi, and spread the branches and leaves for Wei Shi early."

"There are still too few sons in this family."

Xie Zhiyun could see that this Aunt Wei Ying returned to the Wei family this time to find fault, and she insisted on turning Su Guogong's mansion upside down.

However, the Duke felt ashamed of her and couldn't bear to reprimand her. Just now during the ceremony, because of the presence of the Duke, she restrained herself a bit, but now she completely ignored it.

When Cui Ji heard this, the smile on her face remained unchanged. She poured a bowl of tea for Weiying herself, and said, "They are still young."

She said so, and said: "Besides, even if Yao'er and Rong'er get married first, they can't act too hastily. It's safer to wait for Bo Qian to have an heir."

The Wei family was born in a cold family, and it was a luxury to live in the early years. There are so many rules, but now that they live in the Duke of Su's mansion, everything is different.

It would be inappropriate for the youngest son to get married before the eldest brother. If the eldest grandson is born first, it would be even more impolite. Even if Wei Cang himself doesn't care, how will outsiders view their family?
So it is a good thing that they have no children for the time being.

Xie Zhiyun nodded in his heart, thinking that this mother-in-law is quite reasonable, although she is a side branch of the Cui family, she is much stronger than this aunt.

Wei Ying seemed to be satisfied with the answer, she picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said: "Sister-in-law, there are still too few children in the family. Now the elder brother is already a great hero, and there are only five children in the family. The heirs are really thin."

The smile on Cui Ji's face could no longer be held, she lowered her head and sighed: "It's my fault."

But Weiying changed the subject: "If you want me to say, the sister-in-law at the front is more virtuous. When Boqian was just born, she immediately chose a concubine for the eldest brother, so as to spread the branches and leaves for the family."

Wei Ying said so, glanced at the expressionless Wei Ji, and wiped away the non-existent tears with a handkerchief.

"At that time, the family was in a difficult situation, and my eldest sister-in-law ate the bran and swallowed vegetables by herself, and she had to give up the meals to me and my elder brother. Whenever I recall those years, I always think of my eldest sister-in-law's kind face."

"It's a pity that the world is difficult, she left too early, and didn't enjoy the splendor of wealth that she is now." Wei Ying's eyes swept over everyone in the hall, and finally fell on the face of the second wife, Mrs. Lu.

"It makes some people who are not on the stage enjoy the happiness."
