Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 196 San Lang Meets His Mother-In-Law (1 more)
After moving to the new house, the parents-in-law lived in the main house, Song Wei and Wen Wan lived in the east wing with Jinbao, and Song Yuanbao lived in the west wing.

Song Wei's study room is larger than Hutongyuan and his hometown in Ningzhou. In addition to the bookshelves, there are also several rows of Duobao Pavilion, which are specially used to display the antique calligraphy and paintings he collected.

There is a mother-in-law, she takes Jinbao most of the time, and when she is gentle, she goes to the study to dust off the dust.

When Song Wei came back from the Yamen that day, he saw the door of the study room was open. He didn't rush back to his room to change his official robes, and walked slowly towards the study room.

The door was ajar, and it was so quiet that no sound could be heard.

Song Wei stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door open, seeing the gentle and thin figure from his back.

She was on tiptoe, ready to take down the thin-necked plum vase on the top floor of Duobao Pavilion and wipe the dust off it.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, Wen Wan backed away in shock.

The hand holding the plum vase was a little unsteady, and it seemed that even the plum vase was about to fall to the ground.

Song Wei walked over quickly, put his arms around her waist in time, took the plum vase with the other hand, and straightened her upright.

Seeing that Mei Ping was fine, he stroked his chest tenderly and fearfully, and then gave him a reproachful look, "Why are you walking so silently?"

Song Wei put the plum vase on the lower shelf where she could reach her, and said in a gentle tone, "Don't be brave if you can't get the high things in the future. I really fell down. I can't show up in time every time."

Wen Wanxiu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Then do you love the vase or me?"

Song Wei looked at her fair and clean side face, and there was interest in his eyes, "You may not be hurt if you fall, the vase fell, and a house is gone, who do you think I should feel sorry for?"

Wen Wan was silent for a while, "Then it seems that I'd better be a vase in the future."

Song Wei: "..."

She bent down to pick up the feather duster that fell on the ground, and didn't intend to continue cleaning it up. She looked at Song Wei, "Is your husband hungry? I'll cook for you."

Song Wei looked at the little girl who was eloquent at the moment and became a good wife in an instant, and felt that she was indescribably cute. He was not in a hurry to let her go, and the long arms easily wrapped her around and brought her into his arms.

Song Wei came in in a hurry, the study door was left open.

A rosy glow flew across Wen Wan's face, and she scolded him, "Let go, let people see it later."

Song Wei didn't let go, and gently sniffed the fragrance in her hair, "The emperor summoned me today to give gifts to the eldest princess' mansion. From the tone of his voice, the eldest princess doesn't seem to have a close relationship with him. You think I'm What kind of words should I say without knowing the inside story, so that the eldest princess can accept the gift happily?"

"Princess?" Wen Wan was curious.

"Well, the emperor's own sister of a compatriot."

"The task entrusted to you by the emperor is not easy!" Wen Wan analyzed: "Without knowing the inside information, it is easy to touch the other party's bad luck. I think Xianggong should ask Young Master Xu to find out, maybe he can know something. .”

Song Wei hummed lightly, that's what he planned too.

The royal water was too deep, and Emperor Guangxi asked him to give gifts on the surface, but who knew what plan was behind the scenes, if he was not careful, he might become a victim of the brother and sister's fighting skills.

-

Xu Shu has been busy preparing for his wedding recently, but he didn't expect Song Wei to come to him in person.

He glanced at the concierge who came to report, "Why are you so blind? Uncle, you dare to stop outside? Hurry up and invite someone in for me!"

Hearing the words, the concierge quickly went outside the gate, nodding and bowing, and invited Song Wei to the front hall.

Xu Shu walked through the veranda, saw Song Wei, and clicked his tongue twice, "A rare visitor! Uncle rarely visits the door, is he going to supervise the progress of the wedding or is it for other things?"

As he spoke, he stepped into the hall and poured tea for Song Wei himself.

Song Wei took the tea bowl and glanced at the servants in the hall without any trace.

Xu Shu understood and waved his hand to make everyone retreat.

"Tell me, what is so serious?"

Xu Shu sat down next to him, leaned back, and rested his hands lazily on the armrests of the Taishi chair.

"I want to ask you about someone." Song Wei said, "Princess Changping."

Xu Shu was taken aback, "Why ask about her?"

Song Wei said truthfully: "The emperor asked me to go to the princess's mansion to deliver birthday gifts. I am afraid that I will offend the nobleman by my inappropriate words and deeds."

Xu Shu was stunned, and told him directly, "My father used to be a general under Consort Lu, one time he was drunk, and I heard him spit out a few words.

Concubine Lu was originally named a marquis because of his outstanding military exploits, and he held 20 military power. Later, for some reason, the emperor suddenly decreed that Princess Changping, who had just returned to Beijing after more than three years of recuperation, be bestowed upon him.

You also know the rules of our Great Chu Dynasty. If the princess is appointed, the son-in-law will have no real power.

At that time, after receiving the imperial decree of marriage, everyone persuaded Consort Lu to ask the emperor to take back his order, but he himself did not say a word, staring at the imperial decree for a long time, and threw down the sentence "the emperor's order must not be violated" and handed over the military power Go out and go home to prepare for the big wedding.

My father also said that he always thought that Concubine Lu was willing to abstain from power for the beauty because he had a crush on the beautiful princess, but one time he accidentally saw that the relationship between Concubine Lu and the eldest princess was not the same. It's not as loving as the rumors outside, and it seems that the relationship between husband and wife is simply maintained because of involuntary control.

As for the Eldest Princess herself, probably because of her poor health, she has lived in seclusion all year round. I don't know the specific circumstances, but I think that the quarrel between her and the Emperor may be due to this marriage. "

After Song Wei listened, he had a vague idea in his mind.

Xu Shu suddenly wondered, "Aren't you a Hanlin official? Why did the matter of giving the eldest princess a gift fall on you?"

Song Wei didn't say that Emperor Guangxi got six fakes for him to appraise the paintings. Such remarks are undoubtedly slapping Emperor Guangxi in the face.

He only said: "I have a calligraphy work of Mr. Liu of the Jin Dynasty in my hand. This master's work is a favorite of the eldest princess, so the emperor simply assigned the task of giving gifts to me."

"It feels a bit tricky." Xu Shu muttered: "The eldest princess is cold-tempered, and even the son-in-law can be rejected by her for thousands of miles. If you give gifts in the name of the emperor, the possibility of hitting a wall is very high, and you will not be able to complete it by then." Mission, how do you go about it?"

Song Wei didn't show any panic on his face, and took a sip of tea, "I can only adapt to the situation."

Xu Shu looked at him, "Why don't I ask someone to find out some gossip again? The more you know, the more confident you will be when the time comes, so you can play it by ear."

Song Wei shook his head, "The more you know about royal affairs, the more trouble you will have. If you are not careful, you may lose your life because of it. What you just said is enough."

When Song Wei returned home, Mrs. Song took Jin Bao to visit Aunt Xie's house next door. Song Yuanbao was also there, teaching the Xie family boys to read and write.

Father Song was watering the flower pots with a shower.

Song Fang went to the embroidery workshop to measure and make a wedding dress.

Wen Wan was sitting in the main room making a padded jacket for Jin Bao, a little sleepy, and was about to go back to the room to lie down for a while, when Song Wei came in.

Wen Wan's drowsiness was reduced by half, she dropped the work she was doing, got up and helped him take off the cloak on his shoulders and hung it behind the door, asking him, "How is it?"

Song Wei sat down and took a sip of the hot tea Wen Wan handed over, and told him what Xu Shu had told him.

Wen Wan frowned frequently, "Then it's really not a good job."

She even wondered whether the people in front of the emperor knew in advance that the task would be difficult, so they pushed each other, and finally let this unfortunate job fall on her husband.

Song Wei didn't want her to worry, so he changed the subject and asked, "Where's Jinbao?"

"Mother has gone to visit Aunt Xie's house next door."

Song Wei asked: "He won't cry when he can't see you?"

Wen Wan smiled and said: "Jin Bao and his grandma are very close, so it won't happen. In addition, I insist on feeding egg custard and rice cereal. He is about to be weaned, so he won't be too clingy to me."

Song Wei thought of something, hummed, "Alright."

-

On the day of the eldest princess's birthday, the princess mansion was full of excitement.

In the past, the eldest princess would disdain big things, but this year is different, she and her son-in-law reconciled, and the girl gave birth to a fat boy, and she recovered her voice and was able to speak.

For the eldest princess, this is the happiest and most comfortable year she has ever had.

Once people have no worries, their energy and interest will be several times higher than before.

So when Consort Lu offered to help her entertain a few more guests, the eldest princess did not refuse.

Before noon, several canopy carriages had already parked in front of the Princess Mansion.

All the guests at the banquet were wives from prestigious families.

When Song Wei brought the painting to the door, he was stopped by the guard at the door because there was no invitation card.

Song Wei did not introduce his identity to the guards, but said: "I heard that the eldest princess has a lot of research on Mr. Liu's calligraphy in the Jin Dynasty. There is a painting in my subordinate's hand, which is suspected to be an authentic work of Mr. Liu. I want to ask the eldest princess to help me grasp it." , I wonder if you can accommodate me?"

Several guards looked at each other.

It's no secret that the eldest princess likes Mr. Jin Chaoliu's calligraphy in the mansion, they all know it as the guards, but today is the eldest princess's birthday, who knows if this person is here to make trouble or has some other purpose.

Just about to send people away, Lu Yanqing's voice came from inside, "What are you doing?"

Hearing this, the guard hurried out of the way.

Lu Yanqing stepped out of the threshold with his hands behind his back, and saw Song Wei standing outside the door holding a box with a scroll, and the contempt in his eyes was undisguised, "Who am I? Why did you take the initiative to deliver it to your door today? Why, you can’t get any oil and water in the Hanlin Academy, and you regret it and want to come to the Princess’s Mansion as a servant? I tell you, after passing that village, there will be no such shop.”

Song Wei lowered his eyelashes with a calm expression, "I came today because I want to ask the eldest princess for help."

"The eldest princess is someone like you who can see it whenever he wants?" Lu Yanqing planned to take the opportunity to beat him up, when the eldest princess suddenly came out surrounded by servants, with a majestic voice.

"Yan Qing, don't be rude!"
