Chapter 310: Mrs. Wei (2)
Chapter 310 Mrs. Wei (2)
Shen Mingjiao hurriedly pulled her up with the maid. After some hypnosis and persuasion, Mrs. Wei finally calmed down.
For fear of irritating the other party again, Shen Mingjiao took off the big red jacket and put on the cloak again.
She went out of the back room, had someone prepare the utensils for seasoning and asked for several required spices.
Fortunately, although the uncle's mansion is deserted, these things are still not lacking. She neatly placed the things on the table, cleaned her hands and began to perfume.
As an aristocratic lady, she basically knows how to make some simple fragrances. There was a time in her previous life that she was very keen on perfumery, and she went to ask a female official in the palace who was very good at perfumery. Therefore, although she is not a master of perfumery, she is still proficient.
After two cups of tea, Shen Mingjiao covered the incense burner and asked someone to take it to the back room.
At this time, Mrs. Wei was still the same as when she first arrived, sitting quietly on the corner of the bed, hugging a pillow in her arms, humming softly.
Shen Mingjiao sat across from her, talking softly to her. As the fragrance filled the room, Mrs. Wei's expression gradually cleared up, but a little blurred.
This incense was taught to her by Wen Heng two days ago. He said that lighting this incense can stimulate people's mind, but the time limit is at most two quarters of an hour, and it can only be used once.
Madam Wei looked down at the pillow she was holding in her hand, paused with her fingertips,
Immediately, she raised her head and smiled shyly at Shen Mingjiao, like a girl waiting to be married: "I don't know which family's wife you are?"
Shen Mingjiao handed her a cup of tea and said with a smile, "I am Feng Lisheng's wife."
Madam Wei was stunned: "You mean Little Sixteen! Ah! That child is married!"
Shen Mingjiao followed her topic and asked: "Have you met my Highness?"
"I've seen it! A few years ago, Niang Ru and I entered the palace for the first time, and we happened to meet Empress Li, who was out for a walk with the sixteenth prince in her arms. The sixteenth prince was just born at that time.
Prince Sixteen is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. His skin is as white as snow, and his eyes are as big as grapes. "
She seemed to think of some pictures, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Concubine Li saw that we liked each other, so she smiled and asked us to hug her for a while. Madam, you don't know that the child just got into Ru Niang's arms and peed all over her. Ru Niang was so frightened that her face turned pale."
As she spoke, she actually started to smile slightly, as if she was still in the old days.
Shen Mingjiao: "..." Thinking of the cold and abstinent Feng Lisheng urinating his pants, okay! The picture was too beautiful for her to imagine.
But this also made her get closer to Mrs. Wei a lot. She asked: "Your mother Ru is the empress?"
"Yes! My mother and Ru Niang's mother are handkerchief friends, and the Wei family and the Rong family are also family friends. Because of this, not long after I was born, I made a baby marriage with Wei Che, the eldest son of the Wei family."
When Wei Che was mentioned, her expression paused. "So ever since I can remember, I have known that I am going to marry Wei Che. Although Wei Che is always cold and quiet, he is good-looking! In order to please him, I tried my best to learn lady manners , learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Because I have a good relationship with Ru Niang, Wei Che and I can be considered childhood sweethearts. Although he didn't treat me very special, he also acquiesced that I was her fiancée. He would buy me candied haws and carry me down the mountain. Every time I buy something for Ru Niang, I will also take it with me.
I think this is also quite good. He may be born with a cold temper, thinking that even if there is no affection after the two get married, they will be considered flat and stable. "
"Until the wedding date approached, Mrs. Wei, Wei Che's grandmother, sent a roommate to Wei Che's courtyard.
Actually, I knew about this matter. Although I felt a little uncomfortable, I didn't feel anything wrong, because this is the usual practice. And the old lady didn't have any other intentions, probably because she felt that Wei Che's personality was too bland, and I was too shy and dignified, and she was afraid that there would be a joke between the two of them at the wedding night. "
Of course Shen Mingjiao knows this, the situation of Xiang Su Wangfu and the empress is rare. Generally, it is normal for upper-class noble families to have concubines and concubines. Of course, unless it is a very careless family or merchant, it is rare to spoil a concubine and kill a wife. Otherwise, if one is not good, the censor will directly intervene with you, and the other is not strict in family management. Even if you don't lose your official position, you will be ridiculed by your colleagues.
It's like the concubine riding on the head of the first wife written in the storybook. Basically will not happen. Even if you are really cowardly, you still have natal relatives. Clan consciousness is very strong nowadays, my aunt was bullied at her husband's house, if she kept silent, she would be stabbed in the back.
Tongfang is not even considered a concubine, and in principle is still a slave, but the work is different. With a contract of selling herself, the mistress can control people to death.
"I originally thought that with Wei Che's calm personality, he probably wouldn't touch that Tong Fang. Even if he took him in for the sake of his elders' face, he would be fine with his upbringing, but I never thought..."
Her breath became short of breath, obviously this incident had a great impact on him.
Shen Mingjiao patted her on the back lightly.
Meeting Shen Mingjiao's eyes, Mrs. Wei's emotions gradually calmed down.
"That day, I was going to find Ru Niang, but she went to the old lady's, so I quietly went to Wei Che's yard, and I heard a woman laughing from afar.
Standing at the gate of the courtyard, I saw a delicate-looking girl sitting on a stone table, swinging her legs comfortably, while Wei Che, who had always been cold and indifferent, knelt down at the girl's feet humbly, brushing the dust off her feet. Looking at the woman's eyes is more focused and gentle.
If all this can be attributed to a momentary liking, but he actually gave the woman the jade bracelet that the Wei family passed down to his daughter-in-law,
I was so angry that I went to the old lady. After the old lady heard it, her face was very ugly. She probably didn't expect things to turn out like this. She said that she would give me an explanation.
I was relieved to see this, and only thought of the old lady driving people away quickly. But...unexpectedly, the next day I received a letter from Wei Che inviting me to the Wei Mansion, and I went there happily and apprehensively,
But saw... saw... that woman was rode to death! At that time, she was staring at a pair of blood-red eyes, as if she wanted to eat people..."
Her tone was a little hasty, and her eyes were full of fear. "Princess, believe me...I didn't want her life, I just thought...that the old lady would drive her away..."
She took a deep breath of the fragrance in the room, "Not two months later, Wei Che and I got married. Although he treated me the same as before, even better than before, there was a lump in my heart. In addition, during that period of time when the first emperor passed away and His Majesty ascended the throne shortly afterward, the court and harem were in great chaos. Wei Che, His Majesty's companion and uncle, was very busy all day long, until Dalang turned one year old.
Because Da Lang was in the middle to mediate, the relationship between Wei Che and I gradually became harmonious, and it seemed to be back to the past. "
"Until the next year's Lantern Festival, it was obvious that I just turned around, but Da Lang disappeared!"
Her voice was choked up, and tears were streaming down her face unconsciously.
Suddenly, her expression changed, she covered her head and cried out in shock: "Da Lang died so badly, he was bleeding all over, it was... it was my fault... this is the woman's revenge, she said in her dream..."
Shen Mingjiao hurriedly supported her, looked at the incense burner that was still emitting green smoke, and couldn't help sighing secretly, it was less than a quarter of an hour before the incense was lit.
But at this moment, Mrs. Wei murmured deliriously:
"She said, since I can't get him, then no one will feel better about it!"
