Embarrassing for the bride

Chapter 42

In a blink of an eye, the Qingming Festival is approaching, and the Wen family members are busy. The most important thing is to add Ji Li to the Wen family tree.Ji Li changed his name and reported it to the imperial court, which naturally caused an uproar, but the Holy Majesty didn't say anything. Instead, he entrusted Ji Li with a heavy responsibility. As soon as he entered the officialdom, he entered the Dali Temple as a full-time judicial officer, which shows his respect for him. take seriously.In this way, the Wen family should pay more attention to him. During the Qingming Festival, they only wanted to add a name to the family tree, but they still invited several elders from Suzhou to be witnesses.

The affairs of the Qingming Festival were still ordered by Mrs. Tai verbally, but the actual arrangements were still handled by Mrs. Wen. Obviously, Mrs. Tai had let her deal with it all by herself.During this period, Wu has been patiently waiting for the Wen family to make a reasonable arrangement for her, but she never thought that no one asked about her.She felt that the Wen family should at least give her an official title. Now even if the maids call her "Aunt Wu", they always feel that the title is not right.But if she asked her to take the initiative to ask for this title, she couldn't say it out loud, not to mention Mrs. Wen was the one who arranged everything now, so she naturally didn't want to bow her head in front of Mrs. Wen.

Another very important reason why Wu felt that her name was unfair was Wen Yanzhi's attitude towards her.Since she entered the Wen family, Wen Yanzhi has not appeared.She doesn't expect Wen Yanzhi to pamper her again, after all, she is no longer young and beautiful.But she found that even if Wen Yanzhi didn't come to see her, there was no other woman by his side.

When Wu saw Wen Yan when he was young, he only thought he was a romantic and suave person, but now it seems that things are not like that.She thinks that Wen Yan is romantic by nature, and she doesn't like her now because she is old and frail, so there must be other concubines who are young and beautiful, but after looking at it, she finds that it is not.

Wu felt very disappointed. This kind of loss was not caused by Wen Yanzhi's failure to visit her, but because she felt that she didn't understand the person who had been watching over her for so many years.At the beginning, the young man who met her by chance and stretched out his hand and smiled was flamboyant and shining like the sun, but now when he came to Wen's house, he realized that he was not the old Mr. Wen at all.

Perhaps the only thing that can comfort her is Ji Li.At least now because of Ji Li's relationship, the whole Wen family is respectful to her.Wu Shi thought about it for a while, and felt relieved.At her age, what else can she expect?
On the day of Qingming, the servant girl dressed her up early in the morning, and invited her to the front hall, saying that all the elders of the clan had arrived, and the gentleman in charge of compiling the score had also arrived.The servant girl was very respectful when she said these words, she was obviously trying to please Wu Shi, but unfortunately, she couldn't see what Wu Shi was happy about, and she was even a little unnatural.

Everyone in the front hall had arrived, and Wen Yanzhi roughly explained Ji Li's life experience to the elders in the clan, but the elders didn't know what to say.After all, this kind of thing is dishonorable, but Ji Li's current status is not normal, and Wen Yanzhi is still an official in the court, so they can't say anything.In the end, I had no choice but to say haha ​​that everything in the past is in the past, and from now on it will be a scene like a family.

The women present today were almost only Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Wen and Ji Li's biological mother Wu, while the daughters-in-law Yuzhi and Jin were not present, only brothers Wen Zhaoling and Wen Zhaoye were present.Ji Li sat next to the two brothers, and reserved a seat for the third uncle as usual.

Mrs. Tai said a few polite words, Mr. Xiupu asked Wu's surname and place of origin, and added her name on the spectrum.Wu's originally uneasy mood became much more stable, like a person who has been wandering away all year round suddenly found a place to belong to.

Wen Zhaoling was also married not long ago, and Yuzhi's name hadn't been added yet, so this time it was also added.Finally, he prepared to write Shang Ji Li's name next to Wen Yanzhi's next few heirs.Mrs. Wen stood beside Mrs. Tai, not far from Mr. Xiupu who was sitting below. When she saw the three characters "Wen Zhaoxian" on the score, her eyes dimmed and she lowered her eyes without saying a word.Mrs. Tai reached out and patted the back of her hand, and sighed softly.Mrs. Wen raised her eyes and forced a smile at her, then turned her head and saw Wen Yanzhi was looking at her, then she looked away and continued to stare at Mr. Xiu Pu's writing hand.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiupu had just written the word "Wen", when there was a suppressed groan next to him, everyone turned their heads to look, Wu Shi was holding his chest and panting, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Ji Li hurried to her side to support her, his face turned pale with anxiety, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Wen saw that something was wrong, so she hurriedly sent for a doctor.There was chaos in the hall for a while, several elders in the clan looked at each other, and Mr. Xiu Pu temporarily stopped his movements, and everyone looked at Wu with concern.

Ji Li helped Wu Shi to the side to sit down, and pacified her, "Mother, what's wrong with you? It's never happened before."

Wu patted his hand to signal his reassurance, and took a few breaths before speaking, "It must be old age, you don't need to worry."

Ji Li has always been the most filial. Hearing what his mother said, tears welled up in his eyes. Wen Zhaoling walked over from behind him and patted him on the shoulder, "Let me see."

Ji Li didn't know what to do for a while, although he didn't know if Wen Zhaoling could cure his illness, but seeing his confident appearance, he nodded his head and moved away.

Wen Zhaoling smiled at Wu Shi, "Auntie, please reach out, I will feel your pulse."

Mrs. Wu glanced at him, and then at Mrs. Wen who was not far away, her expression was a little bad.Wen Zhaoling didn't care, squatted down and put his hand on her pulse, and made a detailed diagnosis for a while, the blackness in his eyes fluctuated, and finally returned to calm.

Withdrew his hand, Ji Li immediately asked his mother what happened.Wen Zhaoling smiled at him soothingly, "It's just that I'm too worried. In my opinion, my aunt's body needs to be recuperated. Maybe she suffered too much outside before."

Wu frowned slightly, and looked at Wen Zhaoling. Although he spoke with concern, he still had a faint smile on his face. No matter what he did, it made her feel uncomfortable, and the more she looked at her, the more she felt that he looked like his mother. Made her uncomfortable.

After a while, Mr. Gu came in with the medicine box on his back. Seeing such a big battle, he said in surprise, "Hey, is there anything important today?"

Wen Zhaoling moved away with a smile, "Uncle Gu, come and show Auntie, I may not be able to see anything with my little ability."

Mr. Gu saw that everyone was looking calm, so he didn't delay, he stepped forward to take a look at Mrs. Wu, and then stretched out his hand to take a pulse and make a diagnosis.But for a moment he withdrew his hand and shook his head.

Ji Li saw him shaking his head, the blood on his face completely faded, and he was almost speechless.Seeing his expression, Mr. Gu smiled and said, "It's not what you think. I shook my head to say that she's fine. She just needs to take a good rest. With some nourishing tonics, her body will be fine."

Mrs. Wen immediately interjected: "I'll give you an order now, Ji Li doesn't need to worry too much."

Ji Li glanced at her gratefully, and Mrs. Wu snorted softly, as if she didn't appreciate it.Others also saw that this was a conflict among family members, so it was not easy to interrupt for a while.

Seeing that the time was approaching noon, Wen Yanzhi simply asked his servants to prepare a banquet for the elders and Mr. Xiupu. Putting other things aside, Ji Li accompanied Mrs. Wu back to rest.

Wen Yanzhi asked Mr. Gu to stay and have dinner with him. Mr. Gu said that he had other things to do and he really couldn't delay, so he left on the spot, and Wen Zhaoling sent him all the way outside the door.

Mr. Gu stood still by the door, looked at Wen Zhaoling, and said with a smile, "You seem to have something to ask me, about Aunt Wu's condition?"

Wen Zhaoling shook his head, "I have nothing to ask you, I just want to ask Uncle Gu to check something for me."

Mr. Gu snorted: "Qingming even ghosts are free, and you still come to torment me!"

"Uncle Gu said that," Wen Zhaoling shook his head with a smile, "The relationship between you and me doesn't mean that we won't refuse to ask you for a favor, right?"

Mr. Gu nodded helplessly, "I was unlucky to meet you and your uncle. Tell me, what do you want me to investigate?"

Wen Zhaoling took a step closer and whispered in his ear for a while.After listening, Mr. Gu frowned and nodded, "Okay, I'll check it for you." He was about to leave, but stopped suddenly after walking a few steps, turned his head to look at him up and down, and smiled very much. Ambiguously, "Boyu, seeing your rosy complexion and happy mood, it must be a good thing has come to an end, right?"

Wen Zhaoling blushed suddenly at what he said, coughed twice unnaturally, and said with a smile: "That's thanks to the good medicine you sent, Uncle Gu, it's so nourishing, it's hard to make good things happen."

Mr. Gu laughed and nodded, "Very good, very good, I'm waiting to hold my nephew and grandson."

Wen Zhaoling cupped his hands at him, "I accept your good words."

Mr. Gu waved his hand, "It's useless to just talk, I'll bring you some good medicine when I go back."

Wen Zhaoling laughed, Mr. Gu had already gone all the way away with the medicine box on his back.

Wen Zhaoling turned around and entered the mansion. He had just walked a few steps when he suddenly heard someone calling him, "Young Master..."

Wen Zhaoling was taken aback for a moment, turned his head and looked around, but did not see anyone, and looked again carefully, it turned out that there was a person standing behind a tree on one side, only wearing green clothes, hidden in the bushes, suddenly Did not see it.

Wen Zhaoling looked around, saw no one else was there before walking over, looked at her strangely, "Fu Qin, why are you so mysterious?"

Fuqin bit her lower lip and hesitated for a while, then said in a low voice: "Young Master, I have something to tell you."
