The Song family valued the marriage with the Wei family, and the Wei family also valued the marriage with the Song family.
Although Song Qinghuan was getting married for the second time, it did not affect the Wei family at all. On the day of the engagement, the Wei family was even more arrogant and had no intention of being secretive. They only stopped beating gongs and drums to announce it to everyone.
At an auspicious moment, the gates of the Song family were opened, and Qi Beihou and his wife went out in person to greet the Wei family.
And the Zhang family as matchmakers.
Everyone's face was full of joy and they exchanged pleasantries as soon as they met.
Wei Yutang was so nervous that his back was covered with sweat, but there was unbearable expectation and tenderness in his eyebrows.
Taking advantage of her young age, Song Qingyan followed Xiao Yun to peek at Wei Yutang, then turned around and ran back to Song Qinghuan and said, "Sister, I think my brother-in-law is looking forward to seeing you, and I wish I could marry my sister earlier."
Before Song Qinghuan blushed, all the maids in the room covered their lips and started laughing.
But little did they know that when Song Wende and his wife welcomed the Wei family in, there was already a commotion outside before they could exchange tokens.
A group of beggars with rags, dirty clothes and yellow teeth were singing songs around the gate of the Song family.
Although the city of Kyoto is at the foot of the Emperor, and there are many people with high positions and high status, there are also many people waiting at the bottom.
These beggars, if you sing something and I say something, they will actually talk about a romantic incident of the Wei family.
Pedestrians who passed by were trying to avoid these beggars, but they became curious after listening to this song. Some people laughed and asked, "A distinguished guest from the Song family is here today. Are you here to disturb them on purpose?"
One of the beggars flipped up the dirty and smelly hair on his head and laughed: "That's a bit too much. We brothers just sang a few words and then left, so why bother?"
The gatekeeper stood close to the door and listened to the beggar singing once, and then thought about it carefully. His face turned pale immediately, and he hurried back to the main courtyard to report the message, whether it was true or not.
In the main hall, several families were sitting together and laughing. The porter came in a hurry and asked the maid next to Xiaoyun to stop him. He laughed and scolded: "The distinguished guest inside is talking again, just to ask for reward money."
It's not time yet, go back to your errands."
The young man had a sad face and said repeatedly: "Good sister, I'm not here to ask for reward money. Some beggars came outside the gate and sang a ridiculous story. They were talking about the third son of the Wei family."
After saying that, the little maid suddenly stopped smiling and asked quickly: "How did you sing?"
This young man also learned a lesson. The general meaning is that a girl spent a night doing ridiculous things with the third son of the Wei family. When the third son of Wei woke up, he didn't take it seriously. The girl had no choice but to come to Kyoto, just to see him.
As soon as you see him, give him shelter.
Most of the beggars sang dirty words, and the boy did not dare to learn them. He only picked out a few words that he could speak and learned them.
When the little maid heard this, she immediately said with a serious face: "You wait here, I'll go in and reply."
The little maid just went to report to Xiaoyun family once, and Yang family on the other end also got the letter.
He turned his head to the side and asked the grandmother next to him in a low voice: "Seriously?"
The nanny did not dare to say anything, she just nodded and said: "He is indeed here, and he is sitting in the soft sedan chair."
After a pause, he cursed again: "This little hoof is really good. Even Kyoto dares to find him alone."
Yang's face turned red with anger, and she gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Splash on people."
Then he stood up, said as if nothing had happened and said he wanted to change clothes, and walked out the door.
When Wei Tingdong saw his wife acting like this, he knew something was wrong, but he didn't know what it was. A look of worry flashed across his face, and then he talked about calligraphy and painting with Song Wende, trying to cover up the strange atmosphere.
Xiaoyun didn't feel comfortable asking questions at this time, so he just asked his confidants to follow him out to take a look.
Song Qingyan and Song Qinghuan were sitting behind the screen. When they heard the noise, they looked at each other and said nothing.
Song Qingyan stood on the gap in the screen and saw Wei Yutang watching Yang leave with a look of distraught, and couldn't help but feel panicked.
He hurriedly called Siqin: "Go and inquire outside to find out what's going on."
Siqin responded and was about to leave when she said again: "Be careful, don't let anyone find out."
As soon as Si Qin left, Song Qingyan's face fell. She felt that the marriage with the Wei family was probably not going to work out, and she couldn't help but look at Song Qinghuan with a bit of pity.
Song Qinghuan sat still, his eyes unfocused, holding a round fan in his hand, shaking it from time to time.
When Mr. Yang arrived outside the gate of Song's house, all the beggars who were singing and singing dispersed in a swarm.
Only a few pedestrians came and went, as if nothing had happened just now.
The nun who was personally serving Mr. Yang looked around and saw a green baize sedan parked in the corner. She pointed with her hand and said, "Madam, it's over there."
Yang walked past in a hurry, but before he got close, a green-white jade hand stretched out from the soft sedan, light cyan embroidered shoes stepped on the ground, and the curtain was slightly lifted to reveal a face that made me feel particularly pitiful.
Du Lianrong stood in front of the sedan chair, saluted Yang respectfully, and called softly: "My cousin."
Yang was so angry that she couldn't suppress it. She raised her hand and slapped her across the face, cursing: "The Wei family has really given you a life in vain. You are capable of doing all kinds of dirty things, and you're going to spill your guts."
Du Lianrong, a prostitute who came to Kyoto from Lizhou, would not leave immediately according to Yang's wishes. She covered her red face, lowered her eyes, and choked with tears: "Cousin, Rong I have no other choice. Kyoto is so big and Rong'er can't find you, so I started thinking about it, but I don't know why those beggars keep spreading such words."
Yang suppressed another slap in the face and suppressed the anger in her heart again and again, saying: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you now. You should go back to Lizhou immediately. Before I get angry, this matter can still be dealt with." Can let bygones be bygones."
"Cousin aunt." Du Lianrong said anxiously: "Rong'er, Rong'er also returned to Lizhou, but, but..."
Yang frowned: "But what?"
Du Lianrong said: "But paper can't contain the fire."
Before Yang could ask again, she stretched out her hand to touch her abdomen: "I already have the flesh and blood of my third cousin. What if, what if the Wei family knew about my third cousin..."
"What?" Yang's face changed, and she felt her heart pounding, but then she turned her eyes and said: "Nonsense, you are a girl raised by the Wei family, and you and your third cousin are innocent. When did you have his flesh and blood?" ."
Then he said: "I am not your cousin uncle who can be fooled by you casually. Today, I, San Lang, are going to be engaged to a girl from the Song family. If you mess up the matter at this juncture, I'll see if I can steal your marriage." Skin."
Yang's words were so powerful that Du Lianrong cried so much that she opened her mouth and shouted: "Cousin, you know Rong'er is not that kind of person, Rong'er, Rong'er..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yang motioned to the nanny behind her: "Send the person back."
After a pause, he was afraid that something would go wrong and said, "Look for a fast train or boat immediately. Even if you die on the road, you are not allowed to stay in Kyoto."
The nanny knew the importance of the matter, so she responded repeatedly, and then stretched out her hand to pull Du Lianrong.
Du Lianrong cried until she was in tears. While struggling, she said: "Cousin, Rong'er has no intention of ruining the third cousin's marriage. It's just that Rong'er can't delay it. How to arrange it? Cousin has to tell me."
That's it."
The excitement in Goldfish Alley had just dissipated, and now there were people surrounding it.
Yang was so angry that she didn't say much, she just kept saying: "Get away quickly..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a muffled sound was heard, and Du Lianrong was seen hitting her head against the corner.
