Time flies as the brocade books are passed on to each other.
On March 1, when the apricot blossoms were showing their buds, Wang Junshen and his eldest son and daughter-in-law arrived in Beijing.
Ye Zhenzhen's cold was almost healed, and she thought it would be okay to greet her uncle and the others. However, she was strongly suppressed by Aunt Cui, who took her grandson with her.
Wang Junshen was surprised when he saw his fourth sister and grandnephew coming to pick her up in person: "Fourth sister, why are you here? Where is my nephew's wife?"
It's normal that Cui Weizhen can't come because he's studying papers, but it's strange that his niece-in-law doesn't come.
Aunt Cui accepted the gift from her nephew and nephew-in-law before replying: "Ms. Zhen is ill and has not recovered yet. The child originally wanted to pick you up in person, but I refused. I will wait until she recovers to come to see you in person."
Wang Junshen nodded, and after a few words of concern for his nephew and daughter-in-law, he turned his attention to his grandnephew, who had never been masked before.
This child is five years old and somewhat similar to the fourth sister. He is a little person made by Xue Tuan'er. His black eyes are rolling around. At first glance, he is a smart child. When he sees adults, he greets adults obediently.
He also stood by his side quietly while talking, which was completely different from his noisy little grandson.
This child is well-educated. It seems that the nephew and his wife have put a lot of effort into the child.
Wang Junshen loved Wujiwu and gave him a greeting gift on the spot. His eldest son Wang Shiyu and his eldest daughter-in-law Li also gave them gifts one after another. Cui Zhiduan understood the principle that "gifts from the elders are indispensable" and he obediently accepted the gifts from his elders and said thank you sweetly.
Everyone's love for him grew even higher.
Aunt Cui was very satisfied with her grandson's performance. When faced with her eldest brother's praise, she said a few words of humility before asking, "My eldest brother was originally scheduled to arrive in Beijing in the middle of last month. Why was he more than ten days late? Did something happen on the way?"
It is not easy to travel nowadays. There may be bandits on the way, or they may get sick on the way. Although they look tired, they are normal from the fatigue of traveling and traveling, and they don’t look like they have been sick. That’s why Aunt Cui is worried that they may have encountered bandits.
.
Wang Junshen hesitated for a while and then finally revealed the truth: "My mother accidentally contracted the cold, so I postponed my departure and stayed at home for a few days." Seeing the panic on his fourth sister's face, he quickly comforted him: "You don't have to worry, mother.
I didn’t set out until my body recovered, and now I’m fine.”
But Aunt Cui is still red-eyed. Her parents are already in their prime, and she has not been able to serve her for so many years. Even if they communicate through letters, her parents often report good news but not bad news. For example, this time, she did not
I didn't know my mother was sick.
"Grandma, don't be sad. When I get back, I will go to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense and pray to the Buddha to bless my great-grandmother and great-grandfather for a long life."
The comfort of the children's words brought Aunt Cui back to her senses. She rubbed her grandson's little head, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said: "When the weather gets warmer, I want to go back and see my parents.
"
Wang Junshen calculated the days in his mind and nodded: "Okay, I will stay in the capital for a while, and then you can go back with me."
That's settled for now.
The Wang family's house in the capital has been cleaned inside and out under the supervision of Ye Zhenzhen. It has been cleaned by servants over the years, so they and their group can live in it directly.
Because Cui Weizhen was not free yet, Wang Junshen and others were not in a hurry. They would rest for a few days and wait for their nephew to be free before picking up the slack.
There was no need to wait long. Cui Weizhen ended his imperial mission the next day and returned home exhausted.
Everyone in Uncle Jingning's house was extremely happy. Aunt Cui felt extremely distressed when she saw her son's haggard appearance. She held his hand and kept saying he had lost weight.
Cui Weizhen felt that he was in good health, just a little tired, but he was patient in the face of his mother's concerns and inquiries, and carefully answered his daily life in Gongyuan.
"By the way, look at what I'm blabbering about. You haven't seen Zhen'er since you came back. You should go back to Mingxiyuan. Her illness has almost recovered. I didn't let her come over to avoid the cold wind."
Cui Weizhen really thought about Zhen'er, and did not shirk his mother's kindness at that moment. He hurriedly thanked her, took a long step, and left quickly.
Aunt Cui was a little jealous when she saw her son's anxious look, but she was more pleased that everything was going well for her family and her son and daughter-in-law had a good relationship. She had always been happy to see this happen.
What's more, Zhen'er has always been sensible and filial. She is said to be a daughter-in-law, but she is closer than her own daughter.
Ye Zhenzhen, who Aunt Cui thought was sensible, was ignoring all the maids who tried to dissuade her. She stood under the eaves and waited eagerly. When a familiar figure finally appeared in her sight, she excitedly flew towards him.
"Weizhen, you are finally back. I miss you so much."
The surrounding maids and women were embarrassed to see their masters being so clumsy and looked away with blushing faces.
Cui Weizhen, who had always been reserved, did not reject his wife's enthusiasm and happily took the person he had longed for into his arms. At this moment, his long-empty heart was filled for the first time in a long time.
"You haven't recovered from your illness, why did you come out and catch the wind?"
Cui Weizhen remembered that she just ran from under the eaves, and he didn't agree with it, but he couldn't bear to blame after seeing her again after a long separation. He lowered his head and looked, and it turned out... There was a veil hanging on his longing face, revealing only a pair of bright eyes.
, looking at the shining eyes.
Cui Weizhen: "...Why are you wearing a veil?"
Is it because she is ill and her appearance is damaged, and she doesn’t want him to see her? Based on Zhen’er’s past behavior, this reason is very likely.
Ye Zhenzhen shook her head and looked at him innocently: "I'm afraid that you might be sick, so I don't have a mask to wear, so I have to wear a veil to cover it up. It's better than nothing."
Of course, it would be best not to meet, but how could she bear it after not seeing each other for so many days? She had to use her brain.
Of course Cui Weizhen knew what a mask was. When he heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched. Half helpless and half ironing, he led her towards the room: "Don't be so careful. Take off the veil. I have a good body and I'm not afraid."
Ye Zhenzhen still shook her head: "That won't work. You have worked overtime for more than ten days, and even an iron man can't stand it. Your body is weak. I will wait until you regain your energy. By then, my illness will be cured."
Cui Weizhen feels that he is strong and can go hunting without any problem. Why do his mother and wife think he is too weak?
He was very helpless and had no choice but to save the country: "I want to see you."
It was obviously an extremely ordinary sentence, but when it came out of his mouth, it had the effect of a tenth level of love. Ye Zhenzhen's face suddenly turned red, and her eyes were misty and half-covered.
If you want to talk about it, please give up the charm.
Cui Weizhen's dark eyes darkened, he reached out to lift the veil, held her head and kissed her deeply.
