Chapter 84: Bad News
readx;
As Marshal Wei expected, King Anping hurriedly rose up and led the rabble to be vulnerable at all. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info less than a month after the anti-flag was raised, it had been defeated and retreated by the army of the imperial court, and Marshal Wei and He Shangshu sometimes even worried that Wei would come and go late and would not be able to share this cup.
With the frequent news of good news, Lord Shangshu's heart gradually returned to his stomach - Wei Lai was indeed as Marshal Wei said, she was brave and good at fighting, and her name frequently appeared in the good news.
That's it, that's it.
After this battle, this young and warlike general will inevitably enter the eyes of the emperor, and then have a bright future. At that time, she could only think of resigning from the official position and disarming, and the young lady of his Shangshu Mansion would marry and not lose her share.
Lord Shangshu thought very well, he and Marshal Wei had calculated everything, and even before Wei Lai returned triumphantly, she had already calculated her military merits and promoted positions. As soon as she came back, she was added to the official rank, and then asked the emperor to be a matchmaker to set a wedding date, and married her daughter beautifully, so that the gossip of those idlers could no longer come out!
Unfortunately, there is a saying that "the world is unpredictable".
Recently, the people in the capital have another topic to talk about after dinner, although there are some clichés, but people are still happy to do it......
"Did you hear that? The eldest lady of the He family killed her fiancé again, this is the fourth! ”
"I already knew. When General Wei and Miss He got married, I knew that he wouldn't live long! You see, it's only been a long time, and the people are gone. ”
"Not really! If you want me to say, then Master He is not a good person, knowing that his daughter Kefu is still harming others like this. It's also that General Wei just returned to Beijing and didn't know anything, otherwise how dare he respond to this marriage! ”
"Poor, I heard that there is an old lady left in General Wei's family, she just received it from the capital, she originally came to enjoy the blessings, but I didn't expect this turn of the head to send the white-haired person to the black-haired person, how can I live in the future."
……
In just a few days, the matter of "He Zhikefu" has been spread again in the capital. The reason for this is that two days ago, news came from Gyeongju that General Xiao Wei, who had passed all the way before, had an accident, and he fell off the cliff by accident.
If there is such an accident on the battlefield, most of them will not survive.
It's really nothing to die on the battlefield. Mo said that he was a fourth-grade general, even if the generalissimo of the first-rank died on the battlefield, it was just a sigh, and it was not surprising.
It's just that this four-grade little general is the fiancé of Miss He, who is "Kefu"! So everything is unusual, and it gives those with long tongues more to talk about.
*****************************************************************
"Xi Qiu, are you ready?" He Zhi sat in front of the dresser, looked at Xi Qiu, who was combing her hair behind her, through the bronze mirror in front of her, and asked in a light tone.
Since Changning Town picked up Aunt Wei back, after He Zhi settled the people, she always had to go to Wei's house every three or two days. It's not that she doesn't want to take Aunt Wei over to live with her, it's just that she and Wei Lai haven't gotten married yet, and Wei Lai is a man outside, so how can she take her "future mother-in-law" to her home.
It's only been a lot of things at home these days, and He Zhi hasn't been to the Wei family for five whole days. She also had something to do today, but she really couldn't rest assured, so she got up early, planning to take the time to go to the Wei family first.
The bronze mirror in front of her was slightly blurry, and Xi Qiu behind her didn't look very real, He Zhi vaguely felt that Xi Qiu seemed to have a different expression, but before she could take a closer look, Xi Qiu behind her had already responded: "Miss, don't worry, it's ready." ”
"Yes." He Zhi replied softly, and then closed her eyes slightly.
Seeing this, Xi Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry in his heart did not diminish in the slightest.
Mrs. He is a good housekeeper, and the Shangshu Mansion has long been treated like an impregnable wall in her hands, as long as she doesn't want to spread the news, no matter how much it spreads outside, she can't hear a word in this mansion. Xi Qiu has been out once in the past few days, so she should know naturally, but her young lady ......
Xi Qiu was worried, but she didn't know that Miss He already had a bad guess in her heart - whether it was the unusually busy in the past few days, or Xi Qiu's momentary gaffe just now, it was all reminding her that something bad seemed to have happened.
He Zhi has always been very intelligent, but at this moment, she closed her eyes, but she didn't want to think about what that bad thing would be. Because as long as you are distracted to think, or even think about it, all the spearheads seem to point at one person, one thing......
"Miss, it's alright." Xi Qiu's soft voice came from behind him.
He Zhi opened her eyes when she heard this, and after glancing at the bronze mirror, she nodded slightly, and did not find that Xi Qiu's combing time today was twice as slow as usual: "You go and order to prepare, let's go out." ”
Hearing this, Xi Qiu glanced outside the house, and there were still only a few servants and little maids waiting to be ordered in the courtyard, so she lowered her eyes slightly and answered "yes", and walked out unhurriedly.
When he left He Zhi's sight, Xi Qiu's pace suddenly became a little more impatient. She hurriedly ran outside the courtyard gate, and before she could go further, she bumped into Mrs. He, who came early, so she hurriedly said without caring about the number of courtesies: "Madam, Miss is going out!" ”
Mrs. He obviously came for this, although she did not have Xi Qiu's anxiety, her expression was not relaxed, she frowned slightly and ordered: "On the road, you should be careful, don't let those gossips enter Zhi'er's ears." ”
He Zhi's temper seems to be mild, but there is a stubbornness in her bones, plus she has always been smart, Mrs. He did not dare to stop her from going out, otherwise she was afraid that it would backfire. But if she really lets people out, she is even more worried, after all, the reputation of "Kefu" is not good, and General Xiao Wei is not as good as before, the two have really gotten along, and there is always some affection.
And with affection, it will be even more sad to know this!
Xi Qiu nodded when he heard the order, but the worry between his eyebrows and eyes did not weaken in the slightest: "The gossip of those idlers can't reach the ears of the young lady, it's just that Madam, the old lady of the Wei family ...... over there."
The capital is not as good as Changning Town, not to mention the well-informed here, there are still Wei Lai's old troops in the Dingbei Army who occasionally visit Wei's house. Not to mention that the people in the Dingbei Army may have already told Aunt Wei the news, even if she went out for a few laps by herself, she could hear the news that she should hear. I don't mention how sad and sad she will be after that, I'm afraid that she will be even more angry!
Mrs. He obviously thought of this as well, and she pursed her lips, with obvious worry and distress on her face, which was similar to He Zhiqi. After thinking about it, he finally said: "Xi Qiu, go and talk to Miss, I will go to Wei's house with her today." ”
*****************************************************************
Mrs. He's companionship made He Zhi more and more uneasy, although it was normal for Mrs. He to follow her to visit her future mother-in-law who she hadn't seen for a long time, but the behavior of everyone in the house in the past two days was really unusual.
In the carriage to Wei's house, He Zhi finally couldn't help but ask: "Mother, what happened?" Why are you and Xi Qiu weird these two days? ”
He Zhi actually had some guesses in her heart, and her hands hidden under the wide sleeves had already been unconsciously clasped together. But on the face, it was still plain, and after asking this sentence bluntly, she stared at Mrs. He tightly, wanting to see something on her face, or hear an answer that reassured her.
Mrs. He was silent when she heard the question, she looked at He Zhi silently, and the helplessness and sigh in her eyes had explained everything.
The blood on He Zhi's face finally receded, but even if she had guessed, even if Mrs. He had been sure, even if she was pale, she still didn't believe it in her heart-when she went, Wei Lai had said that she would wait for her to come back!
After seven years of battlefield battles, this person has been born and died several times, and he has not come back in a good manner? This time, it's just a rabble, where is it worthy to leave her life behind?!
He Zhi bit her lower lip tightly, refusing to believe it. It wasn't until I arrived at Wei's house that I saw Aunt Wei, who seemed to be ten years old in a few days, that the string that was tense in my heart finally broke......
