The Wang family of the Red Chamber has a wife

"Brother Zhen, is this your bird?" Xiao Douding looked pitifully at the little kingfisher that landed in Wang Congzhen's hand, his eyes were full of longing, and he wanted to reach out to touch it, but he paused and shrank go back.

Wang Congzhen wore a crimson brocade robe with clusters of flowers today. The slightly heavy color made his face more delicate and lovely like a jade man. Hearing this, he nodded: "Well, this bird is called—— ——Xiao Cui, Shao Yun, do you want to touch it? It is very obedient!" As careful as he is, he naturally noticed the hand of Aunt Gu's little brother who was just about to move.

Encouraged by Wang Congzhen's eyes, Yang Shaoyun's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the little kingfisher's tail feathers without hesitation, which made it "chirp" and spread its wings wide towards Yang Shaoyun, the thin feathers fluffed up like a fur ball.

As if frightened, Yang Shaoyun hurriedly withdrew his hand, and hugged Wang Congzhen's other arm in a panic, trying to seek protection from his big brother.

Seeing this, Wang Congzhen glared at the little kingfisher in his hand, and one person and one bird talked to each other in a way that no one else could hear.

"What's wrong with letting him grab it? See how scared you are!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

"I call it whatever I say! Get caught by him, and then give you a spirit crystal..."

"Woo...really?!"

Sitting on the armchair in front of the window, Shi Qingwan, holding a cup of tea, clearly saw a gleam of light in the small mung bean-like eyes of the little kingfisher; immediately afterwards, she saw that the little kingfisher seemed to be about to be tortured, with a sense of righteousness Concisely retracted the fluffy emerald feathers all over his body, awkwardly jumped onto Wang Congzhen's other palm, and turned his smooth tail feathers to Yang Shaoyun who was hiding behind Wang Congzhen's arm.When Xiao Shaoyun stretched out his hand and pulled a piece of feather down, it wailed and flew away.

Hearing the accusation in the wailing, Shi Qingwan burst out laughing.This little kingfisher was the one that was enlightened four years ago by a coincidence in the courtyard. He named himself Cuiyu. Since then, he simply stayed at Wang's house and became Wang Congzhen's wife. pet.

"Why is this little bird so interesting?" Gu Xiayi covered her mouth and smiled. Although she couldn't hear the conversation between Wang Congzhen and the little kingfisher like Shi Qingwan, she saw the little kingfisher in her son's room. As a subordinate, Ba Wang's expression of aggrieved and aggrieved is exactly the same as that of a human being, and she couldn't be happier.

Shi Qingwan watched her laughingly leaning against the back of the chair, rubbing her belly and panting, took a sip of tea, and was about to speak, when she caught sight of a small figure reflected on the double-sided embroidered peony and red sandalwood screen, the corners of her lips slightly raised , coughed lightly: "Not coming out yet?"

"Mother—" The figure paused for a moment, and then staggered into Shi Qingwan's arms in the posture of a milk swallow throwing itself into the forest. He raised his face, his eyebrows and eyes were four or five points similar to Shi Qingwan's, and he was very naive. Smiling, she called out, "Ce'er woke up, and she couldn't find her mother!" As she spoke, her little red mouth pursed slightly, with an aggrieved expression.This is Shi Qingwan's second son, Wang Congce.

Touching his forehead, Shi Qingwan reprimanded lightly: "Then you shouldn't run over by yourself. If you fall down next time, don't cry—" Glancing at a small bird peeking out from under the red sandalwood shelf Shi Qingwan sighed helplessly: "Why did you bring your sister with you?" When she looked up to the screen, her voice suddenly softened: "Sheng'er, come here!"

A small goose-yellow figure slowly turned out from behind the screen, she raised her eyes, her voice was a little thin, but soft and sticky: "Mother, Sheng'er came with brother!" Turning to Gu Xiayi who was sitting next to her : "Hello, Aunt Gu!"

Nodding in response, Gu Xiayi beamed and said, "Hey, I haven't seen Sheng'er for a long time. Does Sheng'er miss Aunt Gu?" She hasn't been pregnant since she gave birth to Yang Shaoyun. She really fell in love with her heart; for the well-behaved and lovely Wang Lingsheng, she couldn't wait to take him home and raise her as her own daughter.

"Sheng'er wanted to see Aunt Gu, but—" Wang Lingsheng frowned suspiciously: "Didn't Aunt Gu just visit Sheng'er three days ago?"

Gu Xiayi was so surprised that she was at a loss for words. Three days ago, she really came to find Shi Qingwan in a hurry. She was sleeping at that time, but she didn't expect to remember it in a daze—a flash of inspiration, she nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's like not seeing each other every day is like three autumns, so Aunt Gu couldn't help but come to see Sheng'er today!"

Wang Lingsheng's delicate little nose wrinkled, obviously thinking about something, after a while, she also nodded, her tone was solemn: "Sheng'er also misses Aunt Gu and Brother Shaoyun very much!" Gu Xiayi was suddenly elated.

Shi Qingwan looked down at her daughter's slightly pale face, hurriedly hugged her and sat on her lap, and talked to her softly: "Is Sheng'er full of sleep? Mother told the kitchen to make milk custard , and your favorite jasmine tea cake, brother Shaoyun from your Aunt Gu's family is also here, after the snacks, go to the courtyard with a few brothers to play later, okay?"

Nestling in Shi Qingwan's arms, Wang Lingsheng obediently responded.She was born with a deficient womb, and compared to her elder brother, she was so delicate that she seemed to be blown away by the wind. Therefore, from Wang Ziteng and his wife to Wang Congzhen and Wang Congce below, they all loved and sympathized with Wang Lingsheng.Fortunately, although she is weak, she can still hold the spirit energy, so she has grown up to the present safely.

A small foreign lacquer table was placed on the big kang in front of the east window, and on the kang was a soft, autumn-colored money python mattress, and the four children sat on each side of the small table.Seeing Wang Lingsheng holding a white porcelain spoon, slowly scooping custard from the same set of small lotus seed bowls, Shi Qingwan was very pleased, and then looked up at the gentle manner of the eldest son and the voracious eating of the second son. , her smile froze for a moment.

"Sister Sheng'er, here you are—" The two mothers were paying attention to the movement on the kang, and Gu Xiayi's eyes lit up when she heard this sound.

Wang Lingsheng shifted his focused eyes from the bowl of milk custard in his hand to Yang Shaoyun's face, and saw a faint blush on the little Douding's cheeks.However, Yang Shaoyun was very persistent and pushed the plate in front of him that contained lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake towards Wang Lingsheng.Mother said, take good care of Sister Sheng'er!

"Thank you Brother Shaoyun—" After thanking him, Wang Lingsheng took the sugar cake from the plate with his tender little hands.

Seeing this scene, Shi Qingwan happily pursed her lips and chuckled, not saying a word about Gu Xiayi's joy.Picked up a piece of water chestnut cake from the plate next to her hand, it tasted sweet and moist, and there was a hint of fragrance of water chestnut spreading in her mouth, she squinted her eyes enjoying it.

……

"I have seen four...four young masters!"

Looking at the young general in front of him who was obviously surprised but still seemed neither humble nor overbearing, the corner of Tu Wenchen's mouth raised a satisfied arc, but Wang Ziteng, who lowered his head, didn't see it: "You are so polite, general! My son is strolling around, I don't want to have this chance encounter with the general. I don't know how the general would—" He looked up at the signboard in front of him: "Come here?"

The name of the shop here is Tiangong Pavilion. Although it is exaggerated to use the word Tiangong, the bead and hairpin jewelry made there are the most exquisite in the capital. Therefore, it is very popular among officials and eunuchs in Beijing.

Hearing this, Wang Ziteng replied with his eyes still downcast: "I heard that the glass made by this family is extremely exquisite, so I came here to pick some pieces for my wife and young daughter by name!" Wearing the appearance of an ordinary son-in-law in a good manner?There is no follower around, don't you worry that something will happen?At this moment, he never thought of going anywhere else.

"Oh? So that's the case. Since this is the case, why not go in with me to have a look, General Wang?" Tu Wentang pointed to Tiangong Pavilion with great interest: "It just so happens that I also want to bring some new things for my brother. I remember that there are two young masters in General Wang's family, so I must know a lot about the things this boy likes!"

The younger brother—presumably he must be the fifth prince, Tu Wenjing, who is extremely favored by the Holy One!How could Wang Ziteng say the words of resignation?Can only follow the words.

"Your Highness, is that the newly promoted guerrilla general this year?" On the second floor of the Tiangong Pavilion, at a window covered by a bamboo curtain, two figures sitting and standing were quietly looking at the distance. go man.After a while, an abrupt voice sounded in the small space.

Tu Wenchen caressed the round and exquisite glass beads in his hands. The transparent and simple material was a little mysterious and elegant because of a faintly smudged purple in it. His dark pupils reflected a faint light, The corners of the raised lips seemed to be a smile but not a smile: "Yes, Wang Ziteng, whose name is Yueguan, has been promoted from an ordinary fifth-rank dragon ban captain to a third-rank guerrilla general in five years. His wife is the youngest daughter of the Jiangnan Shi family. Five years, having two sons and one daughter, is a blessing!"

The person standing there is the shopkeeper Chen of Tianranju!

He was also a little surprised to hear Tu Wenchen's words: "This person is really lucky!"

"A person who can come back from the Chengqiang battlefield with military exploits, and be remembered by the emperor after three years of filial piety, and appointed by decree, is it just luck?" Tu Wenchen thought about it, thinking about the days What he heard in Yun Qingguan, his eyes flashed, and he changed the topic: "Is there anything new in Jiangnan?"

Shopkeeper Chen nodded: "It seems that someone saw the third prince in Yangzhou—" He hesitated a little: "It's just that the source of the news is not accurate, and further verification is needed!"

Raising his eyebrows, Tu Wentang slightly bent his loving eyes inherited from his mother, looking very happy. Now he is no longer as immature as he was three years ago: "Huh—Yangzhou? That's a good place, Yanliu Painting Bridge, Wind Curtain and Emerald Curtain, Beili Goddess, Zhangtai School Book... If Brother Sanhuang is really gone, don’t be too happy to think about leaving!”

Shopkeeper Chen seemed to understand something, and smiled slightly: "The spring breeze is ten miles away from Yangzhou Road, so it is naturally a good place!"
