Chapter 159: Suspicion
On the second day, He Lin took Xiaohuzi to the main room early in the morning to have breakfast with Wei and He Guanglie.
He Guanglie didn't want to have breakfast alone, and strongly asked to put the kang table on his bed, and then the family ate around the kang table, but this request was ruthlessly rejected by Wei and Mama Li.
Wei asked He Linwan to take Xiaohuzi to eat on the table, and she planned to wait for He Guanglie to eat it herself after eating, but He Guanglie felt sorry for Wei after all, and finally ate it alone.
After eating, Mama Li took the maid to clean up the house, and Wei asked He Guanglie: "I have already arranged the doctors yesterday, do you want them to come and show you today?"
He Guanglie thought about it, but said in a serious tone that he had never said before: "I have something to say to you, you let them go down first." ”
Wei nodded, and ordered Mama Li to go out with the maids, and when he saw He Linwan looking at him with blank eyes, Wei said, "If it's a family flower, let Ah Wan and Xiaohuzi also stay?"
In this kind of matter, He Guanglie has never refuted Wei, so he did not refute either.
It's just that when there were only four of them left in the house, He Guanglie looked at them and looked at them, but he didn't speak, and there was still a little guilt and inability to talk in his eyes
He Linwan deliberately asked, "What does my father want to tell us about Qiu Xiang?"
He Guanglie was stunned, and didn't react for a while: "Ah, what is there to say about Qiu Xiang?"
He Linwan said with a smile: "Since my father doesn't want to discuss the matter of taking concubines, then what else can't be said?"
He Guanglie scratched his head. Finally asked, "Then I said it! If, I mean, if I can't be an official, will you think I'm useless?"
Hearing this, Wei asked, "What do you mean by this?"
He Guanglie had already asked, and he was a little broken, so he simply said: "That is to say, if the emperor takes off my military position and makes me a flat-headed commoner, will you be disappointed?"
He Linwan thought for a while: "If you lose your official position, your father won't have a good fortune?"
He Guanglie nodded, and lowered his head in shame under the gaze of He Linwan and Xiaohuzi.
He Linwan immediately comforted: "There is no father who has nothing to do with Yulu." We won't mind!"
He Guanglie looked up. looked at He Linwan with satisfaction: "Ah Wan has really grown up, so sensible......"
He Linwan smiled slightly, and then said: "We can still spend our mother's dowry! Anyway, in the past few years in Beijing, most of the money spent is my mother's dowry. ”
He Guanglie was stunned. looked at Wei's: "The family doesn't give you silver flowers, what about the silver I asked people to give you?"
He Guanglie's fortune is neither high nor low. But there is always some other income on weekdays. So you can save some money in a year. This silver is enough for other favors and daily expenses, and he will let people bring the rest back to Wei's, so He Guanglie always thought that he was supporting his family.
He Linwan sighed: "There are elders. The family has never been separated, father, you brought back the silver from your mother, dare to leave it privately? Before, when my grandmother was in charge, it was fine, and my grandmother returned the money handed over by my mother, and now ...... it?"
He Guanglie looked at Wei with a sad expression: "Didn't you let you keep it yourself, my mother is not short of money! Old lady, don't look at her like that, she is definitely the richest in the He family! I give you the silver to keep for you to buy clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache!"
Wei looked at He Guanglie helplessly.
He Linwan smiled and said: "Father's mind and mother naturally know, but father, have you forgotten who is in charge of the accounts on your side? How much money did you bring back, the old lady knew earlier than her mother, and her old man asked, do you say that your mother will give or not?"
He Guanglie immediately understood the problem, and asked suspiciously: "What Qiu Xiang told the old lady, but how much money do I have that I haven't paid to her?"
He Linwan secretly rolled her eyes in her heart, and continued to give He Guanglie eye medicine: "As long as the silver passes through the hand of a third person, is it difficult to find out?"
He Guanglie thought about it and felt that what He Linwan said was very reasonable, the entire inner courtyard here was managed by Qiu Xiang, and even the people who followed him had to give Qiu Xiang face, and even the sword and thunder he relied on the most were childhood sweethearts who grew up with Qiu Xiang.
He Guanglie scratched his head and said to Wei flatteringly: "I have already explained to you before, it is really helpless to accept Qiu Xiang. In addition to the old lady's difficult situation, some of my colleagues and some inexplicable people saw that I was alone here, and they always tried their best to stuff me here! Don't look at Penglai, a little bit of a big place, the relationship is very complicated! When the old lady sent Qiu Xiang here, I happened to meet a person who was not very easy to refuse and wanted to give me a woman, so I simply left Qiu Xiang behind. When someone wanted to give me a woman, I told them that the elders of the family were strict with these things, and that I was not allowed to admit unknown people. And I'm afraid that the elders in the family will embarrass you......"
Wei nodded and said softly, "I understand Xianggong's hard work. ”
He Guanglie grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth: "I knew that there was no need to explain between me and Zhenniang! Zhenniang is the person who knows Russia and trusts me best in this world, and she will definitely understand my good intentions! How could she misunderstand me! Could it be that my oath is a fart!"
He Linwan: "......"
Wei Shi took a slow breath and smiled: "Xianggong is right, but if this kind of thing happens in the future, I still hope that Xianggong can talk to me first." ”
He Guanglie was puzzled: "Why?"
Wei leaned into He Guanglie's ear and whispered something, and He Guanglie immediately looked at Wei and smirked.
He Lin coughed in the evening: "Father, why do you think you will be dismissed?"
He Guanglie was pulled back into focus, looked at them solemnly and said, "You must not leak what I am going to say next." ”
Wei Shi and He Linwan nodded, and Xiaohuzi looked at his mother and sister, and also nodded expressionlessly.
He Guanglie thought for a while before he said in a low voice: "I suspect that the ambush between Gongsun Xian and me this time is not as simple as it seems, but someone wants to kill us......!"
When he said this, He Guanglie paused, and then sighed: "There is also a problem with the death of the old general Gongsun!"
He Lin was taken aback: "Why did my father say this?"
A dark flash flashed in He Guanglie's bright eyes, and although he tried to restrain himself, he still couldn't hide the anger in his tone: "I suspect that the old general Gongsun was not killed in battle, but was killed by someone!"
