In northern Xinjiang, Zhao Shi looked at the news sent by Lu Shiyu quickly, and pondered: "Mizhen's daughter-in-law wants to come north in person to thank you?" It seems that she is not worried about her brother-in-law...... Well, this young woman's rumors are naïve, and she may not be able to have such considerations, eighty percent, is it Mizhen's arrangement?"

After thinking about it, he asked the soldier who delivered the letter, "The princess of the county is around, but who is more eye-catching?"

The soldier didn't know why, and said: "The princess of the county is around, except for the old lady Feng of the Xuanyu family in Nanfeng County, there is only a maid and a guard arranged by the county king. ”

Zhao Shi said: "Tell me carefully about the maid and the guard." ”

"The maid's name is Yishan, the little one has only seen it twice from afar, and he has never spoken recently, and he has heard the brothers in the army say that the maid is very good at talking, and she does not have the arrogance of a servant, and she is very easy to get along with. The soldier pondered for a while and said, "As for the guard, he is much more arrogant and basically does not speak, and it is rumored that he is lukewarm to the princess of the county...... Oh, I heard that the guard grew up with the county king, and because of his high martial arts, he was specially sent to guard the princess of the county. ”

"What's the name of the guard?" Zhao Shi asked with a frown.

The soldier said: "The princess of the county and Mrs. Feng all call him 'Ah Xi', I heard that his surname is Sheng, but some people say that his surname is Gongsun." ”

Zhao Shi nodded, waved his soldiers away, and said in his heart: "It seems that it is this Gongsun Xi who really wants to come to Northern Xinjiang to negotiate with me this time!"

But I felt strange, "Then just let Gongsun Xi come alone, and it's not easy to attract attention without knowing it...... What kind of fun is a pregnant woman in a pregnant woman?!"

Although Sheng Weiqiao is now protected by the Lu Shiyu Department he dispatched, after getting rid of Ruru's pursuit, whether he goes to Chang'an or goes north to Northern Xinjiang, it stands to reason that he will not encounter any life and death crisis. If he came to Northern Xinjiang, it would be impossible for him, who is an uncle, not to be responsible for the safety of his niece and daughter-in-law.

But Northern Xinjiang is already bitterly cold, and now it is the most difficult and fierce season of the year in Northern Xinjiang.

Zhao Shi paced back and forth in the room a few times with his hands, feeling incomprehensible, "Remember Mizhen's daughter-in-law's grandmother, Mrs. Ai, who had a difficult birth? There has been such a thing in the family, shouldn't we pay special attention? The reason why Mizhen arranged for her to leave Xijiang this time was mainly because she was pregnant, lest she couldn't stand the climate in Xijiang? How could Xijiang be better than Beijiang, what did she want to do?"

are a little suspicious of Lu Shiyu, "Could it be that my mother didn't give up after hearing that I didn't approve of calculating my daughter-in-law, and secretly told Shi Yu something, and then Shi Yu took the opportunity to ask my daughter-in-law to go north in person, right?"

After thinking about it, Zhao Shi finally said in his reply that considering the climate in northern Xinjiang and the current situation, he did not approve of Sheng Weiqiao coming to northern Xinjiang in person, but if this nephew and daughter-in-law really didn't want to go, he could send people around him as representatives to come to pay his respects, and by the way, tell him about the recent situation of his nephew and nephew and daughter-in-law.

A few days later, Lu Shiyu received the letter and forwarded it to Sheng Weiqiao. However, after Sheng Weiqiao saw it, he insisted on going over in person: "Uncle is an elder, how can there be a reason to greet the elders and send someone to do it for him?"

Although she didn't know that Zhao Shi mistakenly regarded Gongsun Xi as Rong Sleeping Crane's representative, so she would imply that she would let Gongsun Xi go north, but because she couldn't confirm Zhao Shi's true attitude towards Rong Sleeping Crane in danger, as well as the specific approach at that time, how could she rest assured if she didn't go to Northern Xinjiang to stare at this uncle in person?

In fact, even if he knew Zhao Shi's misunderstanding, Sheng Weiqiao would definitely have to go there in person to be able to rest assured.

This is mainly a matter of identity, no matter how deep the relationship between Gongsun Xi and Rong Sleeping Crane is, even if Rong Sleeping Crane agrees to Xuan Yu Feng's proposal, that is, to recognize Gongsun Xi as a righteous brother, but now this relationship is not determined, even if it is confirmed, it lacks a layer of blood, and it is not as important as Sheng Weiqiao, the wife of Rong Sleeping Crane.

Therefore, when meeting with Zhao Shi, on Rong Sleeping Crane's side, the representative who came forward was Sheng Weiqiao or Gongsun Xi, and the attention and treatment given by Zhao Shi must be different.

To put it mildly, if Gongsun Xi goes north alone, once King Gaomi suppresses Zhao Shi and makes him sit back and watch Rong Sleeping Crane fall into a heavy siege, Zhao Shi doesn't even think about how to prevaricate Gongsun Xi, and directly closes the door, what can Gongsun Xi do?

He is alone, no matter how high his martial arts are, he can still beat the wolf-like army of Northern Xinjiang?

But it's different with Sheng Weiqiao, in terms of relationship, she is Zhao Shi's nephew and daughter-in-law, and in terms of identity, she is the princess of the clan, not to mention Zhao Shi, even Meng Boqin, the hussar general, is not good to turn her away.

Just as Sheng Lanci inadvertently taught her daughter back then, as long as she didn't even see each other, even if she had to see her, she still had a chance to fight!

And when it comes to specific conditions, the category she can promise is inevitably different from the category that Gongsun Xi can promise.

Of course, the most important thing is that Gongsun Xi's martial arts are high, and he is familiar with things like assassination, latent kidnapping, and tearing up tickets, but when it comes to things that require brains such as talking about conditions, he is not even as good as Sheng Weiqiao, let him go north alone, Sheng Weiqiao would rather believe that his aunt is in the Feng family!

Therefore, at this time, he naturally resolutely disagreed with Gongsun Xibing and insisted on going to northern Xinjiang together.

Lu Shiyu had no choice but to use the harrier eagle and send a letter to Zhao Shi again for instructions.

"I hinted to Mizhen's daughter-in-law that it would be up to let that Gongsun Xi come to see me, and if I told her tactfully, I wouldn't ignore Mizhen's life or death. Zhao Shi read the letter and groaned, "Why does this kid still want to go north in person?" Could it be that he doesn't trust me, thinking that I want to prevaricate her?"

After thinking about it for a while, he sent someone to call the subordinates who were in charge of liaising with Chang'an, and carefully interrogated Chang'an about what had happened recently.

Especially the movement of King Gaomi.

The subordinate replied: "Chang'an has been discussing the matter of Concubine Meng during this time. ”

"What about the Zhao family?" Zhao Shi still knows a lot about his biological mother's personality, Old Madam Qin looks like a gentle and loving elder, and when it does not hinder her interests, she is indeed it, but when it comes to the future of the Zhao family, this old lady can be more ruthless than anyone else at any time!

Although Zhao Shi, like Zhao Xuan, often opposes Old Madam Qin's approach, the starting point of the brothers is different.

Zhao Shi simply thinks that some practices are too unkind and immoral, while Zhao Shi is taking the path of turning enemies into friends, which is the difference between his style and the old lady, in essence, he is also very concerned about the future of the Zhao family.

At this moment, he asked what Old Madam Qin has been doing recently, "Does Old Madam have any different dealings with the palace recently?"

The subordinate shook his head and said, "The old lady has been recuperating for a long time recently, and she is still looking for a candidate for the main room for the fifth son. ”

He thought for a while and said, "Originally, the eldest young lady introduced her maiden sister to the fifth prince, and it is said that Miss Li has a good appearance and a decent conversation, and the old lady also approves of it." But I don't know why, it seems that the fifth prince is a little reluctant? The fifth prince is quite concerned about the maiden cousin of the princess of Mizhen County and the county lord of Fuchang. The eldest young lady was very worried about this, and once asked the trustee to give her subordinates a chance to mention it to you. ”

Zhao Shi said: "Is there anything wrong with the county lord of Fuchang?"

The subordinates implicitly said Sheng Weiwei's past: "Although the eldest young lady also thinks that this matter is no wonder to the county lord of Fuchang, but the fifth prince is your sister-in-law after all, and his main family has no reason to marry such a woman." And although the county lord of Fuchang is not from a high background, he has been stained with the light of the princess of Mizhen County, and he has to be named the county lord, so it is impossible to make a small child for the fifth prince. ”

"It's all trivial, let the young people figure it out for themselves. Zhao Shi nodded and said, "Anyway, Xiao Wu is a man, so it's okay to get married later." ”

As Sheng Weiqiao thought, Zhao Shi has a lot of heirs, and there are several children and grandchildren at this time, and he has always been far away in northern Xinjiang, so it is impossible to pay equal attention to every child.

The most important thing is definitely the eldest son and eldest grandson, who are the future pillars of the family, and as for the other children, it depends on their talent and hard work.

Like Zhao Li, although he is a son-in-law, he does not occupy a long ranking, and he is not engaged in the pursuit of Danqing, Zhao Shi is reluctant to blame him for anything because his father and son have been separated for many years, but he really doesn't have the energy to pay too much attention.

At this moment, I feel that there is a little emotional matter, since Mrs. Qin has not mentioned it in the letter home, and it is obviously still under her control, then there is no need for me to express my opinion in a hurry.

After revealing this section, he got down to business: "I see that Mizhen's daughter-in-law seems to be very worried that her brother-in-law will be unfavorable to Mizhen, has something happened in Chang'an recently that would make her think like this?"

"Or was the prince injured at sea before, and many people talked about it being the county king's doing?" the subordinate said when he heard this, "but then the princess was furious and punished many servants of the palace in one go, and the prince also said that he believed that the county king was definitely not such a person...... This kind of discussion has almost been suppressed. ”

Zhao Shi frowned and said: "When this happened, Mi Zhen and his wife were both in Western Xinjiang, thousands of miles away, worried that the three of them would become tigers, no wonder ......"

He thought to himself, or King Gaomi was deeply favored by the emperor back then, no matter how humble he was on the surface, the arrogance in his bones was always inevitable, and he could still make a gesture like a corporal of Lixian in front of outsiders, and he felt that he couldn't put it down in front of his own flesh and blood: Even if you can't really like Rong Sleeping Crane, you can pretend to be one!

Well, now that even Sheng Weiqiao, who is recognized as naïve, doesn't have the slightest trust in his father-in-law, where is this like doing great things!

However, Zhao Shi's belly slander is slander, this kind of thing is not easy to say, after muttering for a while, he said: "Since the secret daughter-in-law insists on coming to Northern Xinjiang in person, let her come! Speaking of which, I have never seen their husband and wife, and now it is good to see my nephew and daughter-in-law." Maybe even my niece and grandson can see it!"

After saying this, he replied to Lu Shiyu, and by the way, sent a letter to Chang'an with Mrs. Qin.

After Mrs. Qin saw the letter, she hurriedly called Zhao Yu to her and said: "The Sheng family has left Yizhou and is evacuating from Western Xinjiang under the escort of Lu Shiyu's department!

Zhao Xuan was taken aback: "She's going to Northern Xinjiang, isn't this nonsense?"

"Nonsense?" Old Madam Qin frowned and looked at him deeply, "Do you think about what it means for her to go to Northern Xinjiang to see your eldest brother at this time?!Do you think she really just wants to meet Mizhen's uncle!"

"Do you want to force the eldest brother to make a decision?" Zhao Xuan fixed his mind and said in surprise, "Wait...... Calculating the time, even if Mi Zhen and his wife have planted eyeliner in the palace, not to mention whether they can find out the secret discussion between the child and her brother-in-law in the study, even if they hear it, they may not be able to send the news to Mi Zhen's daughter-in-law in these days, right?

With a twist of thought, "Will it be ...... Is it taught by Sheng Shixiong?"

"Sheng Shixiong would not do such a thing. Old Madam Qin shook her head, her face was very ugly, "If it weren't for Mi Zhen's instructions, eighty percent would have been the handiwork of Na Sheng's maiden father or maternal grandfather...... Those two are not Sheng Shixiong, they have the consciousness of sacrificing for the country and the people!"

She muttered, "I just don't know now, what will the Sheng family say and do after they go to Northern Xinjiang and see your eldest brother?"

Zhao Xuan said worriedly: "Mother, the problem now is that the eldest brother agreed to let the secret daughter-in-law go north, just for this point, after letting the brother-in-law know, most of them will think more, right?"

"So didn't your eldest brother write back to us?" Old Madam Qin sighed, "This is to make us round him! Don't make a noise...... I'll think about it!"
