Chapter Thirty-Nine: Lang Qing and Concubine are too restricted, and the showers leave passers-by.
Wei Yan was amused by him, and said with a smile: "The tired son is like this, I have the heart to kneel and thank you, but I can't." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoOnly in the coming day...... ...... coming day" but his cheeks were red, and he couldn't speak.
Xu Yuqin was overjoyed, her heart was beating faster, and she knew that she meant that after she got married, she would abide by the women's festival and be more obedient and considerate, and serve him as a "husband" with her heart, so as to repay him for his kindness today.
Feeling full of affection, surging and uncontrollable, he couldn't help but say softly: "Miss, you...... If you want to thank you, it is better to ...... Calling a ...... Well...... That one...... Call in the next sentence...... Brother? β
After speaking, both of them were red-faced, shy and embarrassed, and did not dare to look at each other.
After Xu Yuqin said this, he secretly regretted it, blaming himself for being too frivolous and abrupt.
Wei Yan just didn't say anything, got up, and walked to the side of the pavilion. Xu Yuqin got up and followed, and saluted: "It's a joke, but I don't want Miss to kneel, don't blame Miss." β
Seeing that she refused to answer, and ignored him behind his back, he was anxious, at a loss, and uncomfortable like a cat scratching, and he couldn't think of how to coax her back.
But I heard her turn her back and bow her head and whisper: "Brother Qin......" The sound was like a mosquito, inaudible.
He was stunned suddenly, then laughed, took a step closer, and said with a smile: "Sister Yan, the foolish brother didn't hear clearly, can you please call again?" β
Wei Yan glanced at him in annoyance, disgusted and ashamed, infinitely amorous. It only made him can't help it, and he wants to take a step closer and hold her hands. Kankan touched the corner of her sleeve, but she quickly avoided it, and reprimanded with a red face: "Brother Qin is a humble gentleman, but he teases people like this, it can be seen that he is not a true ......gentleman" After speaking, she threw up her sleeves and turned around, stepped down the pavilion steps, and said loudly to Ruyue: "Go home!" β
Xu Yuqin hurriedly followed and said with a smile: "Miss is sending it down." β
Wei Yan didn't pay attention to it, walked to the car, thanked Wu Wenqian again, and got into the car without looking back.
Xu Yuqin rode his horse to follow, and his heart was full of joy. She seemed annoyed, but she still called "Brother Qin" again, which shows that she was just shy and eager to escape, and she was not really angry with him.
Wu Wenqian sat in the car, lifted the curtain and peeked out, saw Xu Yuqin following Wei Yan's car, called "Miss Wei" from time to time, and told the person driving in front of the car to "slow down", "This road is uneven, don't bump Miss" and so on, Wu Wenqian threw down the curtain and leaned against the wall of the car, so sour that she almost wanted to cry. At the beginning of his love, he secretly promised that he only hated that the other party had a bosom friend in his heart, and he couldn't confide in his heart, so he could only force a smile and be his matchmaker, and watch them love each other and me.
They drove into Qingque Lane, and before they left the alley, they saw a team of royal honor guards coming.
Everyone hurriedly avoided the entrance of the alley, got off the carriage and horses, and crouched beside the road. Seeing the banner and banner exhibition, the crank dragon umbrella carries the gold cover six horses jade carved python pattern car, the palace people hold the double dragon fan, the peacock fan stands behind, and there is another open road, the flag, the dragon silk, the golden festival, the bow is lost, the musical instrument, the incense burner and other internal servants, palace maids, ceremonial officials, and accompanying guards to more than 100 people.
Xu Yuqin's originally smiling face showed a little unhappiness, and he only hoped that the person in the car would not notice his side. Especially, don't see his fiancΓ©e Wei Yan.
The honor guard slowly passed through the alley, Xu Yuqin breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to get on the horse, but the music in front of him stopped abruptly, and the carriage and horse stopped. A hand with a black jade wrench stretched out from the window and made a gesture, the palace maid stepped forward, lifted the curtain of the car, and the window revealed Yuwen Rui's face like gold and tin, he whispered a few words to the waiter next to the car, and saw the waiter walking towards the alley.
Xu Yuqin secretly said that it was not good, and listened to the waiter say politely: "The prince saw that the editor was here, so he specially stepped forward to speak. β
Xu Yuqin had no choice but to say "yes", stepped forward, knelt in front of the car, and bowed.
Yu Wenrui smiled: "On the way back to the palace, I happened to meet Xu Qing, and I was very happy, Xu Qing is here at this time, but is there something?" β
Xu Yuqin bowed his head and said, "The lower officials and their families passed by by accidentally, and there was nothing else. β
Yu Wenrui glanced back at the alley twice, and said with a smile: "I don't know that Miss Wei has become Xu Qing's family?" β
Xu Yuqin replied angrily: "Miss Wei is the wife of a lower official, although she has not passed the door, her status has been decided. Don't dare to bother the prince. β
Yu Wenrui didn't care, his smile remained the same, "I haven't seen her for a few months, Miss Wei seems to be more and more delicate, Xu Qingguo is a beloved!" Xu Qing doesn't have to panic, he has no other intentions, on the day of your wedding, don't forget to tell Yu Gu, the lonely relatives come to congratulate, and ask the two for a glass of wine. β
Xu Yuqin lowered his head, covered his emotions, and replied: "Xiaguan is only a six-grade editor, how dare he work for the prince?" β
Yu Wenrui said with a smile: "Treat Xu Qing alone, like a dear brother, why should Xu Qing refuse to be lonely thousands of miles away?" Xu Qing and his lonely brother King Shu are too close, why should they be so polite to be lonely? Favoring one over the other, it is called lonely and sad! β
couldn't, so I had to bow down and say: "The prince is serious, and the officials are afraid." The crown prince and the king of Shu are both kings, and the lower officials are ministers, only self-sustaining ministers, loyal to their duties, fulfilling their duties, obeying orders, and having no other thoughts. β
Yu Wenrui never said "up", he could only kneel on the ground, and Wei Yan was beside him, and he saw it with his own eyes, which made him feel deeply ashamed and embarrassed.
Yu Wenrui smiled at this time and said: "Xu Qing doesn't have to be afraid, he admires Xu Qing's literary talent, and he has a few words of gossip with Xu Qing." Xu Qing is still kneeling on the ground, please get up quickly. Lonely anxious to return to the palace, inconvenient to say, Xu Qing has leisure in the coming day, please go to the East Palace, talk to the lonely bed at night, and teach lonely poems and words......"
Xu Yuqin said "don't dare", got up and retreated, and before he could stand firmly, he saw Yuwenrui's carriage and horse immediately set off, so he had to kneel down again. When he returned to the alley, he leaned over and bowed his head, unwilling to look at Wei Yan, for fear of seeing contempt on her face. Forced to smile all the way, not like the usual verbal drama before, Wei Yan was secretly suspicious, thinking that he was unhappy because he remembered the old incident between himself and Yu Wenrui.
Two days later, Xu Yuqin took several confidants to Runan on the pretext of going out to collect wind and collecting words and essays of folk poets to fill in the "Dictionary of Words and Writings of Great Powers". He originally sent someone to investigate, but he actually went in person, which shows his intentions! Wei Yan was moved in his heart, so he changed into plain clothes and went to the Buddhist hall in the back garden of his home every day to pray for him, hoping that he would have no danger and a safe journey.
The Buddhist hall is behind the old lady's courtyard, passing through the Rongshou Hall and not entering, it is really unreasonable, although the old lady's power is selfish, after all, it is his grandmother, so he has to go in to say goodbye. The old lady knew that she had already set up a family affair, and she didn't mention the prince again, and the grandfather and grandson released their previous suspicions, and they were merciful and filial for a while, and they were happy.
Speaking of Wei Jiang, the smile on the old lady's face faded a little, and she said hatefully: "Hugh wants to mention that unfinished thing!" In vain, I cultivated her carefully, and gave her a chance to learn to take care of all the big and small things in the house, but I don't want to be a dou who can't be helped! Do you know that your father showed her a few families, and she didn't need to let her know, but she quietly decided that her aunt was actually a character! Capable of everything! actually knew the identity of the other party, and went to the study to make a fuss! Your father is so angry, have you ever seen him? β
Wei Yan was taken aback, Aunt Cai has always been gentle and kind in front of her, how can she be so capable? couldn't help asking: "Grandmother, do you know which son-in-law my father told my sister?" β
"Phew, which son? She deserves it too? The old lady pursed her lips and said with a look of disgust, "It's Da Sima's brother-in-law!" β
Wei Yan exclaimed: "What? The crown princess's uncle? Isn't that very old? β
The old lady sneered: "A child born to a slave maid, and you still want to climb to the sky? What kind of character is Da Sima? The prince's father-in-law, the future father-in-law! In the future, the crown prince will ascend the throne, and the crown princess will be the queen, and her family will naturally rise with the tide, and it will not be easy to climb back to the throne when the time comes! coincided with the fact that the other party had just died and wanted to find a suitable person to marry again, Wei Jiang was ordinary, and it was a great blessing to be able to marry in! β
"If you die and your stepwife dies, do you want to marry again? Grandmother, Wei Jiang is the second lady of Shangshu Mansion! She married someone like that, is it good for the reputation of our Shangshu Mansion? "Wei Yan really can't understand the attitude of his father and grandmother towards Wei Jiang, even if he is a concubine, after all, it is his father's blood and blood, why is he so cold?
Old Madam Wei soothed: "You are young and don't understand what is going on. Originally, you and the prince ...... Alas, don't mention it, in short, the road on the prince's side can't be cut off. Your father's new Shangshu has an unstable foundation, and if he is not tightly tied to the crown prince in the form of marriage, it is difficult to say that his future will be rich. You also know that in the Wei clan now, there are many complaints about your father's childlessness. If you can't stand in the court anymore, I'm afraid that even the position of the patriarch of the Wei clan will have to be handed over to Xian. Your father has worked hard for many years, and I don't expect you all to understand, at least, not to add to the chaos! β
Wei Yan walked out of Rongshoutang in a daze, the family population is not large, and he should have lived a very simple life, but his father is bent on fame and fortune, and his grandmother only wants to be rich. Wei Jiang is not taken seriously as a young lady, Cui's family does not hesitate to offer Ziyuan to her husband's heart, Aunt Cai may not be the Aunt Cai she knows at all, the servant woman in the family seems to have other identities, the death of her mother may have another hidden secret, and her uncle is missing...... Her loved ones, I don't know when they have become so strange!
She walked quickly into the Buddha hall and prayed sincerely: "The Bodhisattva is above, believe in the female Wei Yan, ask the Bodhisattva to bless Xu Lang, everything goes well, and he will return safely." Bless the whole of the Guardian Mansion, peace and well-being......"
When I received the letter written by Xu Yuqin in the name of Wu Wenqian, it was a sweltering afternoon. Heavy dark clouds lay low overhead, and rumbling thunder could be faintly heard in the distance.
Wei Yan held the letter in his hand, skimmed it quickly, and slowly frowned.
She read the letter paper in her hand several times, and sat down in the chair with a very solemn expression.
According to what he knew, coupled with the information found by Xu Lang, the uncle's matter slowly became clear: in the early twenty-fifth year of Longchang, his maternal grandfather Tang Borong died of illness, and the Tang family fell from then on, and no longer prospered......
Wei Yan pondered: "At that time, my mother was married and lived in the Wei family, and only used the monthly monthly Fuzhong monthly salary, and I have also seen her dowry with my own eyes, but it is just some exquisite furnishings, simple vases, clothes for the four seasons, living utensils, and some jewelry and jewelry. How could the silver ticket of the land deed of the Tang family in Runan be in the hands of my mother? β
What happened then was even more strange: the two uncles complained about this, and even went to Beijing several times to ask their mother for family money. In less than half a year, his mother died, and the two uncles came to mourn, but they left their wives and children at home and never returned to Runan. The eldest uncle lived in a private room of an inn in the southwest, and the second uncle hired a prostitute in Liu'er Lane, all of whom were ready to stay in the capital to live.
Shortly thereafter, the eldest uncle owed a lot of money in the casino, and because he could not pay it, he could not think of hanging himself in the inn for a while to avoid the debt collectors...... At that time, Wei Dongkang was still the right attendant of the household, and he was very sad when he learned about it, and he personally inquired about the matter and chased the murderer. The younger uncle was jealous of the prostitute and was seriously injured and disabled, and was later avenged by the injured person's family, and his legs were destroyed. Later, the prostitute took him away to Yangzhou, where it is said that the two got married and now live a harmonious life......
Xu Yuqin explained in the letter: "...... I'm afraid that Master Wei already knows the details, but I'm afraid that Miss will be sad and dare not tell the truth. is reckless under it, making the young lady sad. Because I was in a hurry to return to Beijing to report to the young lady, I didn't have time to go to Yangzhou to visit the second master of Tang in person......
But Wei Yan faintly felt that it seemed that his father had the intention to hide it from him and not let him know. Over the years, the two uncles have lived in the capital for a long time, and the second uncle only went to Yangzhou last year, and he didn't reveal a little news......
She suddenly thought: Ji Pozi died, her son came to make trouble, and then fell into the river and died; The steward married Cui's second-class maid as his stepwife; The youngest daughter of the steward was sent to the clan to make a small ...... for the concubine of Master Weisan
The mother died, the two uncles came to the door to ask for a dowry, the eldest uncle hanged himself, and the younger uncle had his legs disabled, married a prostitute, and avoided Yangzhou. In Runan's house, the house changed hands, Mrs. Tang died, her uncle's wife remarried, and the sons ran their own ways......
The two things are unrelated, but when you think about it, there are many similarities. If these things are not a coincidence, but someone behind them, then this method is obviously the same!
Now, the only uncle who can answer all this is far away in Yangzhou......
Yangzhou?
Yangzhou!
This place name is so familiar, Dr. Qin, who often comes to the family for consultation, is from Yangzhou, and when she was a child, she also complained to her mother that Dr. Qin's accent was strange, and she couldn't understand what he said......
The new Aunt Qin is also from Yangzhou, and she became pregnant not long after she came, and she was deeply favored by her father......
They all have the surname Qin! All from Yangzhou!
These people and things that have nothing to do with each other are strung together, like a net, holding a shocking secret.
