Chapter 3 Trouble is coming, go out to check the authenticity
Wang Mang didn't find out the root of the problem, so he fell asleep unconsciously.
After several hours of careful preparation, Shangguan Ningxuan had already made dessert porridge, came to Wang Mang's room, stood in front of the bed and called softly: "Little uncle, little uncle? ”
She called several times in a row, and Wang Mang slowly woke up and asked, "Sister Shangguan, what's the matter?" ”
Shangguan Ningxuan heard that Wang Mang did not call himself his sister-in-law, but instead called himself Shangguan's sister-in-law, and his heart was worried. Secretly sigh that the world is really impermanent, and the memory is gone if it says no.
"Uncle, you have been in a coma for many hours, and I guess you are hungry. So I made some dessert and brought it in, why don't you eat some first? Shangguan Ningxuan replied by pointing to the dessert on the table.
There are a total of eight Fluttershy plates on the table, each containing a dash of dessert. It's not a lot of it, but it's very delicate.
Wang Mang saw the dessert in the direction he was pointing, and suddenly felt a little hungry.
"Sister Shangguan, eat your things, isn't that good?" Wang Mang said with a red face.
"What's so bad about that? This is your home, and I am also your sister-in-law, and I am not an outsider. Get up quickly, eat these things and go back to sleep. After a few days when you're feeling better, we'll go out with my mother and breathe. Shangguan Ningxuan said with a smile.
"Well, thank you Sister Shangguan!"
Wang Mang has never eaten a decent full meal since he was a child, and now that he sees all kinds of desserts on the table, it is naturally difficult to suppress his appetite.
Lifting the quilt, he rushed to the table and devoured it, not having much time to savor the taste.
Shangguan Ningxuan shook her head with a wry smile, thinking to herself, as if she didn't need to make these pastries by herself, and her efforts were in vain.
"Uncle, eat slowly, don't choke."
"Yes, I see."
Although there are many kinds of desserts, there are eight kinds of desserts, but if they are all stacked together, they are actually only the size of one or two bowls of rice.
Shangguan Ningxuan was surprised to see that Wang Mang had a great appetite and was able to eat so many things together.
In her impression, Wang Mang in the past had always only eaten one or two bites at a time, and it was impossible to eat so much.
After the surprise, it was full of relief.
She felt that since Wang Mang was able to eat so much, it also showed that Wang Mang's body had fully recovered and he no longer had to be sick as often as before.
Only by eating more will the body be strong.
"Uncle, why don't I get you some more?"
"No more, no more!"
Wang Mang hiccuped, full of energy, and asked, "Sister Shangguan, what time is it?" ”
"Probably what's wrong? Do you have something? Shangguan Ningxuan wondered.
"Child? Twelve? ”
Wang Mang nodded and said secretly: "This time is just right, and you can only see the truth in the middle of the night." If it's daylight, I might not be able to see anything famous. ”
"I want to go out for a walk, I don't know if I can do it?"
"Going out for a walk at this time?"
Shangguan Ningxuan frowned slightly, and hesitated: "This is not very good, right?" What got better on the big night. Or you'll go out tomorrow. ”
"No, I'm thinking that the night will be quiet, and going out for a walk will help me remember the past." Wang Mang said again.
"You need to ask your mother, and if she agrees, that's fine." Shangguan Ningxuan replied.
"Okay, I'll ask Auntie."
Wang Mang walked out of the room, came to the next room, and also said something to Xue Fengyi about going out for a walk, which was conducive to remembering the past.
Xue Fengyi naturally refused at first, but after Wang Mang's repeated requests, she had to agree, and finally said: "Go out at night, the road is not easy to walk, you can bring a few little guys to follow." ”
"No, it's not good to have them, I'll just go around the neighborhood, I won't go far, I'll be back in an hour or two at most."
Wang Mang spoke, and without waiting for Xue Fengyi to reply, he went out of the room and walked straight outside.
Seeing this, Xue Fengyi had to arrange for a few servants to follow Wang Mang secretly after he left the door.
She felt that Wang Mang had just recovered from a serious illness, and now she wanted to go out alone at night, so it was better not to disobey him. Secretly send some people to follow, as long as they are not seen by him, it should be fine.
Shangguan Ningxuan saw Wang Mang rushing away without a trace, and said to Xue Fengyi with a somewhat worried look: "Mother, although our Wang family is the party in power of the emperor's relatives, the Zhao family and the Sun family are also extraordinary.
Not only have the two of them always been at odds with us, but they also have a lot of friendship with the four princes and others. You also know what the fourth prince has towards our Wang family, and they are not too far away from us. Now the little uncle doesn't even remember us, if he runs into the Zhao family and the Sun family, I'm afraid it will ......."
Although the Wang family is a high-ranking and prominent party, supported by several noble concubines and Zhenguo generals, the Zhao family, the Sun family and several princes are also not to be underestimated.
In addition, now the Western Han Dynasty is embattled, rebellions are everywhere, and the people's hearts are greatly lost, and some powerful families on all sides are gearing up, waiting for the opportunity to overthrow the dynasty and ascend the throne as emperor.
The Wang family is a leader in the entire Western Han Dynasty family power, and the Zhao family and the Sun family are invincible. So those forces united to fight against the royal family. I want to join forces to destroy the Wang family and kill the Wang family, the roadblock that prevents him from becoming the emperor...
When Xue Fengyi heard Shangguan Ningxuan say this, she suddenly came to her senses and exclaimed, "Why did I forget this stubble?" The Zhao family has never been educated, and they like to toss the farmhouse at night. If Mang'er really ran into them, wouldn't Mang'er want..."
This place is not too far from the imperial city, it belongs to the feet of the Son of Heaven, the dragons and snakes are mixed, and there are many characters of all kinds of religions and nine streams.
At the foot of the Son of Heaven, the dishes of the day required by the big family and the court are generally prepared after the hour and before the early morning.
After all, there are so many and varied dishes that such big families and the court need, and if they are not prepared several hours in advance, it will be difficult to prepare them after dawn.
Therefore, during this time period, vegetable farmers will pull the vegetables they grow to the street and sell them for the people of the court and the big family to choose.
The Wang family and the Zhao family also had a few royal palaces, and there were some gentlemen among them, who would often wander the streets with the servants who came out to buy vegetables, harassing the vegetable farmers, and beating the vegetable farmers from time to time.
There were once several vegetable farmers who came out with their daughters to help buy vegetables, but they were unexpectedly taken by these gentlemen, who not only snatched the women away, but also beat the vegetable farmers to death.
Xue Fengyi was reminded by Shangguan Ning Xuan, and immediately remembered these things, and looked anxious, "Ning Xuan, how do you say this matter should be handled?" Reckless he...."
"Mother, don't worry, I'll just go find him. I guess with me by my side, he won't say anything, and I can remind him of something. Shangguan Ningxuan replied.
"You? That's not a good fit, is it? If you are seen by some people with ulterior motives, then your reputation is not it? Xue Fengyi hesitated.
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, mother, isn't my reputation even worse before I married into the Wang family? I guess you know this too, mother. Shangguan Ningxuan replied.
Xue Fengyi pondered for a moment, glanced at her waist, and sighed: "It's okay, it's just that I hurt you." Since you married into my royal family, you haven't been clean for a day since you were busy....."
"Mother, it's all my business. If it weren't for the help of you and my father, my Shangguan family would have become the dust of history. Besides, after two years, the uncle is calmer and can really take power, and then I won't be able to be idle? Okay Mother, my brother-in-law is almost out the front door, I need to go over. ”
"Well, be careful. If Mang'er really encounters that kind of thing, don't be in a hurry to relieve him, let him suffer a little and remember it for a long time. Also, try to pay attention to proportionality when starting, otherwise it will be difficult for me to speak up afterwards. ”
"I see, Mother!"
Shangguan Ningxuan responded, and also hurried out of the room, running in the direction of Wang Mang, the speed was extremely fast.
The Shangguan family does not belong to the imperial court elite family like the Wang family, they belong to the Jianghu martial arts family.
At that time, it was the Wang family that mobilized a large number of officers and soldiers to settle these disputes for the Shangguan family.
In order to thank the Wang family for their kindness in solving problems, the Shangguan family specially dedicated their eldest lady Shangguan Ningxuan to the Wang family as a marriage alliance.
Although Shangguan Ningxuan married into the Wang family because she was a marriage gift, fortunately, Xue Fengyi and his wife did not make it difficult for her at that time, did not care about her bad reputation in the rivers and lakes, and really regarded Shangguan Ningxuan as their daughter-in-law.
In this way, Shangguan Ningxuan no longer had the intention of complaining about her family, and wholeheartedly thought about the Wang family and Xue Fengyi, completely fell silent and disappeared from the rivers and lakes.
Shangguan Ningxuan walked out of the room, and soon caught up with Wang Mang, who was strolling leisurely in front, and shouted: "Little uncle, wait for me, I'll go with you." ”
Wang Mang was very surprised when he saw her coming over, and asked, "Sister Shangguan, why are you here too?" Are you still worried that I won't be able to escape? ”
"Not really!"
Shangguan Ningxuan shook her head and explained: "Little uncle, your memory has not been restored, and you have never known about the enemies of our Wang family. There are some powerful families not far from our Wang family who are eyeing our Wang family, and I am afraid that you will run into them when you go out, so I will go out with you. ”
Subsequently, she told Wang Mang many reasons, and introduced the grievances of the Wang family and other families, as well as the sons and daughters of those families.
After her introduction and explanation, Wang Mang understood it clearly, and replied with a smile: "So that's the case, you have a heart." ”
Shangguan Ningxuan took out a white veil to cover her face, and said softly: "You are my mother's only son and my only uncle, if I don't have a heart for you, then who else do I have a heart for?" Let's go, while the moon is strong, let's go around the city first, maybe you will remember something when you see the scenery outside the city. ”
"Okay, you are familiar here, you lead the way, and I will follow." Wang Mang replied.
