Chapter 20: Facing Great Good News
The next day, the first thing Chen Xu thought of after getting up was to meet Wei Jia's sister and brother with Su Qin. After he finished washing, he called Steward Shen, who had sent Meng Ting to Su Qin last night, and asked him how Meng Ting and Su Qin were doing last night, and Steward Shen told him that Miss Meng Ting stayed in Su Qin's room for the night.
Chen Xuwan smiled, and also felt that the two of them were dry firewood, and they were compatible. Thinking about last night, he was still a little worried that Miss Meng Ting was reserved, and the two of them couldn't get along, which was really worrying.
He instructed Steward Shen to keep an eye on Su Qin's door, and if Su Qin got up, he would come and report to him. Then, Chen Xu started to have breakfast, and went to do other things, waiting for Su Qin to get up by the way.
However, until the sun rose to the middle of the sky, there was still no movement on Su Qin's side. Chen Xu felt angry and helpless.
At noon, Chen Xu waited impatiently and paced back and forth on the verandah in front of the hall. At this time, Steward Shen ran over and reported that the door of Su Qin's room had been opened.
Chen Xu hurried to the front, walked to the courtyard gate of the second entrance, and met Meng Ting, who was in a hurry, she saw Chen Xu, gave a slight salute, and hurriedly trotted to the residence in the backyard.
Chen Xu saw that Meng Ting's face was flushed, and she looked very shy, knowing that she and Su Qin were greedy and embarrassed all night. He hurriedly stopped Meng Ting and asked her about Su Qin's situation, including Su Qin's true identity and the sincerity of coming to Quwo.
Meng Ting didn't want to say more, she kept nodding, indicating that this person came from the right way. Chen Xu also wanted to say a few words to her, but she deliberately avoided it.
Chen Xu smiled and said in his heart: "Spend a good night together, the spring breeze is full of faces, it seems that the two of them are really open to men and women to meet together, and they have feelings for each other so quickly." ”
When he arrived at Su Qin's residence, Su Qin had already come out of the room and was stretching his waist at the door, moving his fists and feet.
Su Qin looked at Chen Xu, clasped his fists with both hands, and saluted and said good morning. Chen Xu blamed him for being greedy for enjoyment, but he didn't say anything in his mouth, but instead laughed and returned the salute.
"Mr. Su was tired last night and got up late, or you should hurry up and wash up and have breakfast, it's not early." Chen Xu said meaningfully.
Su Qin was very ashamed in his heart because he got up too late, and felt that he had made Chen Xujian smile. He hurriedly said, "Don't eat breakfast, just wash up." ”
Seeing Su Qin's uncomfortable appearance, Chen Xu looked at him with a smile instead, and did not force him to use breakfast. He asked Su Qin, "Let's meet with Wei Jia this morning, what do you think?" ”
"Everything is arranged by the general, and it is very good to meet this morning." Su Qin hurriedly replied to Chen Xudao. He asked Chen to go first, and he would go to him later.
About a quarter of an hour later, Su Qin rushed to Chen Xu's study on the east side of the main house of the second courtyard, and after Su Qin entered, Chen Xu said: "I have asked Steward Shen to call Wei Jia sister and brother, please sit and wait for a while." ”
Su Qin nodded, he walked to the guest seat, and just sat down, the housekeeper outside the door was already communicating: "Sister and brother Chen Jia have arrived." ”
Su Qin paused for a moment, and then came to his senses: "Wei Jia's pseudonym is Chen Jia, and in Chen Jia's mansion, people don't only know her pseudonym. ”
Chen Xu hurriedly asked the housekeeper Shen to invite Wei Jia and his brother to the study. The sister and brother were very restrained, standing there, no matter how Chen Xu let him sit, they refused to sit down.
Su Qin thought to himself: "It must be that the two of them suffered a great disaster when they were young, and they were used to being careful." Sympathy for Wei Jia's sister and brother swelled up in his heart.
Chen Xu waved his hand to let Steward Shen step down. Su Qin then stood up and walked in front of the two. He said gently, "Don't be afraid, brother and sister, I have come today to tell you good news." So saying, he took them by the hand and took them to sit down beside him.
Chen Xu followed Su Qin's words and said: "You also vaguely remember your own life experience, your father, General Wei Wei, is outside Quwo City, and he is very grateful for the old feelings. Mr. Su Qin was appointed by him to come here. ”
Wei Jia's body trembled, and Wei Xiang also looked at Su Qin with confused eyes, and they looked very cramped and uneasy.
Su Qin saw their doubts and comforted them: "Don't be afraid, General Wei Wei misses the motherland and doesn't want to attack Quwo again, so let me plan a truce." He still doesn't know that you are still alive, and if he does, I don't know how much I want to see you! ”
Although Wei Jia was only about seven years old when he was robbed of his house, he clearly remembered his father's appearance, Wei Xiang was only four years old at the time, and he also had a vague impression.
Today, when they heard the exact news of their father, they could no longer hold back the sadness of many years, and tears welled up in their eyes. Strangely, however, despite their tears and sorrows, they remained silent, and they grew up in misery and were accustomed to caution everywhere.
Su Qin was worried that Wei Jia's sister and brother would not be able to accept the reality at once, so he tried his best to tell the story of his and Chen Xu's arrangement in the softest tone.
He told the sisters and brothers that when the Qin army retreated, he would come to the city to pick them up in the name of buying a music and dance class. In the past few days, the sisters and brothers must not mention this matter to others. The siblings nodded tearfully.
After all, Wei Jia is older and more sensible. After listening to Su Qin's words, she understood everything, and she was especially grateful to Chen Xu and Su Qin in her heart. Therefore, she pulled Wei Xiang, knelt on the ground, and kept thanking Chen Xu and Su Qin.
Chen Xu hurriedly left the table, came to help Wei Jia and his brother, and said, "Why bother, the old man just did what he had to do." ”
Wei Jia's sister and brother held Chen Xu's hands, and tears kept rolling down like beads of broken threads. Chen Xu also turned his head and gently wiped away the old tears from the corners of his eyes, he watched the two sisters and brothers grow up, after all, they have feelings.
Su Qin looked at the scene in front of him, so moved that he didn't know what to say. He just said, "Good, good, really good." ”
Su Qin and Chen Xu said some reassuring words to Wei Jia's sister and brother, and sent someone to send them back to their residence.
After Wei Jia's sister and brother left, Su Qin and Chen Xu discussed the next action plan. Su Qin decided that he would return to the Qin army camp at night and report to Wei Wei what he had gained in Quwo. Three days later, Su Qin came to Quwo City again to inquire about the achievements of the Wei State. Wait for the two sides to connect and communicate information, and then make calculations.
That night, Su Qin returned to the Qin army camp, and he first came to Wei Wei's Chinese army tent, and asked the guards to talk to Wei Wei, saying that Su Qin wanted to see him.
Wei Wei hadn't slept yet, when he heard what seemed to be Su Qin's voice outside, he hurriedly greeted him, he was waiting for Su Qin's letter, and his heart was also very anxious.
Su Qin followed Wei Wei into the big tent of the Chinese army, and Wei Wei let Su Qin sit in the second seat, and ordered the guards to retreat. Seeing that there was no one left and right, Su Qin began to report what he had done in Quwo to Wei Wei one by one.
At the end, he said mysteriously, "I have great news to report to the general." ”
Wei Wei saw that Su Qin's face was full of joy, mysterious and secretive, and he didn't know what special things he wanted to tell himself. His expression was very calm at this time, which was his usual style: calm when facing major events.
Wei Wei asked indifferently, "Really?" Then please Mr. Su to come and hear it. ”
Su Qin stood up, looked around in the tent and outside the tent, and made sure that no one was nearby, before returning to his seat, and turned sideways towards Wei Wei's seat as much as possible.
Seeing that he was so careful, Wei Wei was even more puzzled, and laughed in his heart: What is so mysterious and sneaky?
Su Qin lowered his voice as much as he could, and said: "I went to Quwo City this time, and I had an unexpected surprise, I met Wei Jia and Wei Xiang, a pair of children of General Wei, they were not dead, they were alive and well, and they happened to be in Quwo City. ”
When Wei Wei heard this, his jaw was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground. He was stunned, and after a long while, he said as if to himself, "Is there such a thing? Is there such a thing? ”
Su Qin said: "This matter is indeed serious, not only have I met them in person, but I have arranged how to let them return to you." ”
Wei Weirao is a battle-hardened veteran, but when he heard this, he couldn't control his emotions, and the news was too unexpected for him. He said a few words in a row: "Really? Is it? ”
Su Qin once again said firmly to Wei Wei: "General, don't worry, Wei Jia and Wei Xiang's sisters and brothers also remember your old man. ”
Wei Wei sat in a daze for a long time, followed by a low "woo, woo" sobbing, and burst into tears.
Whoever encounters such great sorrows and joys cannot hold himself for a while. For more than ten years, Wei Wei has lived a single life, and has always felt guilty about the death of his relatives, so torturing himself in an ascetic way is to have some peace of mind.
When I hear the news that my relatives are still alive today, how can I not be surprised, how can I not be excited!
Wei Wei involuntarily left the table, knelt in front of Su Qin's seat, held his hand tightly, and said urgently: "What is going on, please ask Mr. Su to tell the old man." ”
