The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 279
As soon as Song Chen came in, he saw his elder brother kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, and his parents' expressions became uglier than the other.Song Chen understood what was going on just by thinking about it. He smiled and went up to greet him: "The Minister of the Ministry of Households and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment have already arrived, so he dragged his son to ask where his father is."

Song Lian and his wife hurriedly looked at Song Chen, and saw that the younger son was wearing a bright red groom's python robe, his face was like beautiful jade, and his eyebrows were like star swords.Mrs. Song hurriedly pulled Song Chen up and down, "Did your brother hurt you there?"

Song Chen said with a smile: "Brother always loves us as younger brothers, how can he bear it? The son wants to apologize to his parents, because he accidentally hurt the elder brother in a moment of anger. The son feels guilty, and he doesn't know how to apologize to the elder brother. !"

Of the three sons of the Song family, Song Chen was not the only one who was a martial artist, but it was the third son who was the best at martial arts and was also the favorite of Xiaozong.The two brothers fought, knowing that the eldest son would not have the upper hand, but because of the special day today, Song Lian was inevitably furious.

Song Lian looked at the eldest son who lowered his head and said coldly: "After finishing the third child's marriage, ask your worry-free wife to think about it behind closed doors at home. Although I am old and dim-sighted, my heart is not confused. Your brother must be sincere and embarrassing." How could you tell you to get out of bed? This is also a lesson for you, so I will keep it in mind from now on."

Mrs. Song was thinking about the affairs outside: "Those are all later things. Now that the boss looks like this, the outside guests must ask when they see him. What should we say?"

At this moment, Mrs. Song, although she also knew that the eldest son was absurd, she secretly complained that Song Chen was too aggressive.

Even if women are a bit jealous, it's human nature. Even her mother-in-law is very envious of the rich dowry, and the two sons don't have to fight over it.

After all, the two daughters-in-law were worried.

Mrs. Song complained secretly, but Song Chen lifted up her robe and knelt down in front of her eldest brother: "Today, my elder brother was wronged, but it was just my younger brother's helpless act. The emperor intends to reuse our family, but he is always worried about the Song family. The power of the emperor is growing day by day. Separating me out of the mansion is an obvious warning. If the three of us form a group again, the emperor's original intention will not be achieved, and he will naturally not like it in the future."

When Song Lian heard his son's words, he suddenly realized something and asked them to stand up: "Young three, continue talking."

Song Chen chuckled and agreed: "If the outside world reports that I am at odds with my eldest brother, it will also dispel many of Long Live Lord's defenses, and he will dare to use our brothers in the future. This is also my son's humble opinion. If you say anything else An excuse, maybe we don’t believe it ourselves, but it’s more like a dispute between the inner house and the sisters-in-law.”

The boss of the Song family looked at Song Chen suspiciously: "When did the third brother think about this?"

Song Chen knew that this brother was suspicious, so he hurriedly laughed and said, "I'm not as good as a pig or a dog, and I don't dare to hurt my brother for the sake of my own future. It was indeed a way to cover up after the fact. Due to the rush of time, I haven't done it yet. I have time to report back to my parents.”

The noise in the outer courtyard became louder and louder, probably because the housekeeper blocked the door himself, so no one dared to come in.But their family only left their second child to thank the guests outside, which is really outrageous.Song Lian said in a deep voice: "Just do what the third child says, and you don't need to explain anything, just let the outside rumors go."

Mrs. Song smiled bitterly: "Master, this..." Mrs. Song's natal sisters-in-law also came here a lot. She has been praised by everyone over the years.If the Gao family knew about this incident, what face would Mrs. Song have to return to her mother's house?

Song Lian took his wife's hand in a rare and tender way: "I know you are wronged, but let's put the overall situation first. Face is more important than face? I'm old, and it's only a matter of one or two years since I became an official. My sons can be reused. Your younger brothers and sisters will continue to flatter you."

Mrs. Song burst into tears immediately after hearing these few words: "In your eyes, I am probably the kind of woman who loves vanity! But don't worry, although I sometimes get confused, I always listen to you in major matters."

Although the old couple had three sons, they lived like strangers for half their lives.It was rare to reconcile in old age, Song Chen and his elder brother looked at each other, and quietly exited the flower hall.

At the gate of the courtyard, Song Chen cupped his fists and said with a smile, "Brother."

The boss of the Song family touched the redness and swelling at the corners of his eyes, and smiled slightly: "Okay, dear brother, don't say those polite words. Since you have made up your mind, brother is willing to accompany you in this play. It's just that your sister-in-law is careless , talking in a muddle, if something makes the younger siblings feel uncomfortable, you still ask the younger siblings to take care of it."

Song Chen laughed loudly: "Don't worry, brother, Xiuyan has never been that fussy."

The eldest son of the Song family was blocked by a few words, the third daughter-in-law didn't care about it, but his own daughter-in-law didn't care, otherwise he wouldn't have been punched by his younger brother and turned black-eyed.

The bridegroom officer was called to prepare to welcome the bride. The boss of the Song family was not that thick-skinned, so he took a chance and went to the back house to find someone to bandage the corners of his eyes, although he still looked nondescript.

As dusk approached, Song Chen led a mighty team, surrounded by eight sedan chairs, and slowly headed towards Fengwei Hutong.The welcoming team had a guard of honor to clear the way, a lion dance led the door, and the eight-tone team of blowing and drumming invited two teams. The gongs and drums were loud, and there was endless celebration.

Before reaching Fengwei Hutong, the sound of blowing and beating was transmitted, and the boys at the door reported the news inside one after another.The third aunt of the Xing family took seven or eight wives with her, and when she saw the good news, she gave out money, all of which were eight-cent silver coins, and gave out forty or fifty in a blink of an eye.

Most of the women who came to congratulate the inner court were closely related to the Xing family, and their husbands generally had low official positions, but they were also very lively.

Everyone was chatting and laughing around Mrs. Lu, when someone came to report that the bridegroom had entered the gate, they all got up to meet him.

In Xiuyan's boudoir, Yingchun, Xichun, Coco Li, and Li Qi surround Xiuyan, watching Daiyu make hairpins for her.The eldest mistress of the Yuan family came in in a hurry, and hurriedly took the red hijab from Cuimei: "Hurry up, the groom has arrived."

Everyone was even more pleased, the young girls hid behind the screen one after another, Du Daiyu did not hide, hugged Jinsifeng's embroidered shoes in her arms, and turned to look for Meilian: "Who has the new mattress? "

"The third aunt has already taken the front."

According to the customs of the capital, before the bride gets on the sedan chair, her family will accompany her with a new mattress in the sedan chair for her daughter to sit on, which indicates that her family will always be her daughter's backing.There are not many serious relatives in the Xing family, so the third aunt took the job without hesitation. Mrs. Xing had a big opinion and felt that she was excluded by her younger siblings. If the old lady hadn't forced them to come here today, Mrs. Xing would have wanted to put her down immediately .

The eldest grandma of the Yuan family's fate is gold, and her parents, in-laws are all present, and her children are both healthy. Lu Shi specially invited her to put on a red hijab for Xiuyan.

Looking at the shocking face of the eldest daughter of the Xing family, the young lady of the Yuan family gasped with difficulty, and secretly slandered: I didn't see the Xing family girl with heavy makeup in the past, but she turned out to be like this, but it's a pity that she just married into the Shangshufu. If the Xing family was willing After sending this girl into the palace, this Fengwei Hutong might return a second empress!
