Chapter 123: News from the Front

Wei said: "Mrs. Wei told me at the time that it was not easy for her to be in charge, and there were too many places where my younger brothers and sisters needed silver, and these silver were all the belongings that the Wei family could only come up with, and they were all given to me as a dowry, hoping that I could be grateful to the Wei family and her." ”

The cold sweat on the mother-in-law's head came out.

Wei smiled slightly: "I remember what Madame Wei said to me, and I have never forgotten her kindness, so today she sent you to ask me for money, and I will repay her for the favor she gave me." I have children and daughters who need a lot of money, and this is all I can give her all my possessions now, and I hope she will accept it. ”

The woman really couldn't stay any longer, so she hurriedly kowtowed and fled, as if she had to leave the Wei family.

He Linwan smiled behind the screen and turned out.

Wei looked at her with a smile: "What are you laughing at?"

He Lin took a sip of the tea in Wei's hand and said with a smile: "It turns out that you will also repay your mother." ”

Wei smiled when he heard this, but Mama Li couldn't help wiping her tears on the side: "If you don't say it, madam, the slave doesn't know that she didn't even know that she didn't even know the dowry money that the princess should give you!" I thought it was ......."

Wei Shi took out a handkerchief and wiped the tea stains on the corner of He Linwan's mouth, and said indifferently: "If she had given me five thousand taels, I would have returned five thousand taels today." One hundred taels and five thousand taels are just numbers, so why should Mama care. ”

Mama Li thought about it and felt that what Wei said was right, and the sadness in her heart dissipated.

A few days later, Da Yu came to visit.

Although Da Yu came to see Wei's, as a junior, she still went to ask Mrs. He for peace. Da Yu is the wife of the prince of the Hou Mansion. Even Mrs. He has to sell her some face, so Mrs. He is quite kind to her.

After seeing the old lady, Wei took Da Yu back to the West Courtyard.

"After you went back that day, how did things happen at home?"

The smile on Da Yu's face faded when he heard this: "What else? No matter how Yu'er is also the grandson of his Xu family, he is not yet six years old, could it be that they really dare to kill for a few fish? If this is the case, I will ask them to be buried with the people of the Marquis Mansion!"

Wei was taken aback: "Sister." ”

Da Yu put away the coldness in his eyes, and smiled at Wei comfortingly: "What are you afraid of, I'm talking about playing!"

Wei sighed: "I know my sister you." A person with a good temper. If you weren't really provoked, you wouldn't have said that kind of thing just now. ”

Da Yu looked at He Lin's late sister and brother who were sitting on the side, and sighed with a smile: "You and I are both mothers, you understand me." I understand you too. ”

Wei and Da Yu looked at each other and smiled. There was some helplessness in the smile, but more of it was resolute for the mother.

Da Yu said: "The Wei Mansion has been very lively these days. Did you know?"

Wei snorted: "I didn't deliberately inquire, but I can expect something." ”

Da Yu glanced at Wei: "Oh, Wei Daxian, you can talk about it, you will be rewarded if you guess right." ”

Wei handed a plate of loquat peeled by the maid to Da Yu: "Your favorite food." A few days ago, Mrs. Wei came to me several times in the name of my grandmother to borrow money. It's not coming these days, if the Wei family is lively, they can't escape the word money. ”

Although Wei has left the Wei family for many years, he has seen the Wei family thoroughly.

Old Mrs. Wei was also a figure when she was young, but unfortunately now that she is old, she can't control the Wei family. Master Wei looks shrewd and capable, but in fact, his talents are average, if the Wei family really relies on him to support his family, they can only count on him to make a living. Mrs. Wei is ambitious, but her ambition is spent on spending money, making her the Wei family's home, and the Wei family's little family background is not enough for her to lose.

With such a big family, it's okay to say when it's okay, after all, the dowry shops left by Wei's mother over the years are enough for them to save some money. But now that it costs money, Wei doesn't believe that the Wei family can be stable.

Da Yu took a bite of loquat, so sour that her eyes narrowed, but she was still happy: "You are still in the real immortal!" The imperial court asked Lord Wei to pay money, and the people from the household department and the internal affairs office went to the Wei family every day to collect debts, but the Wei family did not dare to close the door to thank customers. Originally, Lord Wei had to pay a lot of money this time, but the Wei family gritted their teeth and couldn't take it out, Mrs. Wei asked her to empty the treasury and pay off the debt, guess what?"

Wei Shi thought about it: "Could it be that the problem is the silver?"

Da Yu sneered, a little gloating: "No, no! As soon as the silver was handed over, the officials of the household department came to the door and said that half of the silver handed over by the Wei family was stone ingots. ”

Wei Shi was stunned, and then smiled: "Mrs. Wei, she really dares to ......"

Da Yu smiled: "How do you know that she did this?"

Wei sighed: "The ignorant are fearless, I really can't think of anyone else in the Wei family who can do such a stupid thing." ”

Da Yu sneered: "You really know her." Mrs. Wei heard that Mrs. Wei was going to hand over all the silver in the treasury, and on the night that Mrs. Wei counted the money, she and her cousin exchanged more than half of the silver. As a result, the matter of fake silver and silver came out, even if Lord Wei was reinstated in the future, what face would he have to gain a foothold among his colleagues?"

Wei's face was joyless and carefree, and Da Yu no longer mentioned Lord Wei: "At that time, the silver was counted by Mrs. Wei herself, so the last check found Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Wei refused to admit it at first, Mrs. Wei sent a ruthless woman to catch Mrs. Wei's cousin and his wife to beat him with a cane in public, and finally the couple couldn't help but recruit, but Mrs. Wei still refused to say where the silver was hidden, but instead cried and made trouble in the house, and even the hanging white silk was ready." ”

Wei smiled slightly: "I really don't know whether to live or die." ”

Da Yu also admired her when she said this: "I have never seen someone like Mrs. Wei who asks for money, shame and life, I admire her a little." Seeing that she refused to hand over the silver, Lord Wei was so angry that he whipped her with a whip more than a dozen times, and everyone was stunned and had no move. In the end, it was her son Wei Hanzhang who remembered that Wei had secretly bought a courtyard in the western suburbs, and took someone to search for the silver, so Mrs. Wei saved her life. ”

Although He Linwan did not interject on the side, he also listened with relish. He Linwan used to look down on people like Mrs. Wei, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked by her love for money.

Da Yu continued: "In the end, all the money was finally handed over, and Lord Wei's reputation was almost ruined. Lord Wei is now clamoring to divorce his wife, Wei is smart this time, he can't afford to lie in bed and get sick, and no one can help her. It's just that now that she is making a fuss, the future of her children is afraid that it will be affected. ”

Wei suddenly said, "Is my grandmother okay?"

Da Yu glanced at Wei and sighed secretly, Wei grew up with Mrs. Wei since she was a child, no matter what purpose Mrs. Wei had to take care of Wei, Wei still had a little love for each other after all.

"My mother went to see the old lady once, and the old lady was in good spirits. ”

Wei nodded and didn't say anything more.

Da Yu's came over today to talk to Wei about the Wei family, and there were many trivial matters in her house, so she sat down for a while before leaving, and didn't even stay for lunch.

It's just that when she was leaving, she took advantage of He Linwan and Dahuzi to walk away, she pulled Wei to the side and asked in a low voice: "Zhenniang, has there been any news from Dengzhou recently?"

Wei shook his head.

Da Yu frowned: "There is no news at all?"

Wei smiled: "The war is tight, and it is normal to have no letters." ”

Da Yu frowned and did not speak.

Wei Shi's heart moved when he saw it: "What news did my sister hear?"

Da Yu thought for a while before saying: "The princess entered the palace yesterday and overheard something, but maybe she was far away and couldn't tell. ”

Wei's face became serious: "Sister, what is the matter?" ”

Da Yu glanced at Wei, hesitated and said: "Dengzhou Wei met with the main force of Daji State at Luanshikou, and the two sides fought fiercely for ten days, and Dengzhou Wei commanded Gongsun Jian to die, and Dengzhou Wei ...... Heavy casualties. ”

Wei's face couldn't help but turn pale after hearing this, and Da Yu immediately helped Wei: "Don't worry, it's uncertain whether this news is really true." Besides, my brother-in-law is very good at kung fu, and it is not difficult to save his life. ”

Wei slowly took Da Yu's hand and looked at He Linwan and Da Huzi who were walking towards them.

Because He Linwan did not allow Da Huzi to eat loquat again, Da Huzi had an angry expression, He Linwan only had patience to coax him, and finally He Linwan didn't know where to conjure up a piece of pine nut candy, and Da Huzi finally rewarded his sister with a straight face.

Wei took a deep breath: "I'm fine, sister, I'm fine." ”

Da Yu sighed, holding Wei's hand as if to give her strength: "I'll help you inquire again, if there is any news, I'll tell you immediately." ”

Wei nodded and sent Da Yu out.

He Linwan found that Wei's face was a little wrong after sending Da Yu back, she asked tentatively, but Wei smiled and said that she was fine, and then Wei called Mama Li and asked her to send some precious medicinal materials to Wei's mansion to visit Mrs. Wei, He Linwan thought that Wei was worried about Mrs. Wei's body.

A few days later, there was a sudden good news, Laizhou Wei and Dengzhou Wei defeated the main force of Dajiguo, and Lou Feng, the coach of Dajiguo, was seriously injured by an arrow, and Dajiguo had to hastily stop the pace of going south.

As soon as the news came out, the whole country celebrated, and the people in Beijing set off firecrackers in every household like the New Year, although the battlefield seemed to be far away from the capital, but the common people still looked forward to the days to be too peaceful and healthy.

On the Qiqixi Festival in early July, the emperor ordered a banquet for his ministers, and at the same time, Wei also received an invitation from the palace.
