Chapter 503: The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat
Wu Shigong knew that Xue Yongli was forcing himself to make a statement.
To be honest, although the outside world believes that Xue Chenglin's inheritance is the most legitimate, and Wu Shigong also thinks that Xue Chenglin's eldest son inherits as a matter of course, until now, Wu Shigong himself has not officially announced it in public.
In Wu Shigong's view, the children are all young, and they are in their own years, so the question of succession is still early. Of course, Wu Shigong himself is also a little evasive. Of course he knows Li Xin's thoughts, Xue Chenglin has been absent for a long time, Wu Chengying has been under Wu Shigong's knees, no matter what, Wu Chengying and Wu Shigong are more affectionate, so Wu Shigong doesn't want to hurt the hearts of Li Xin's mother and son too early.
And there is a big problem in it, then Xue Chenglin is not surnamed Wu, if you look at the surname, it can barely be said that Wu Chengying is the eldest son of Wu Shigong.
But in this way, those subordinates of the Runing Army are a little uncertain, so most of them have a wait-and-see attitude. For example, Deng Qifan, he refused to become Wu Chengying's teacher, so that Li Xin could only ask another Confucian to enlighten him. However, Deng Qifan did not mean to protect Xue Chenglin to the death, and the whole intention was to put it out of the way. Only the Xue family was a little anxious, so their leader, Xue Yongli, came to force the palace today.
Xue Yongli's forced palace has two meanings. On the first floor, of course, Wu Shigong will announce it publicly; The other layer is to express that Xue Yongli resolutely supports Xue Chenglin to become the heir. However, the price he paid was quite big, and he gave a granddaughter to Xue Chenglin's child without a name.
And Wu Shigong also felt that he couldn't delay any longer, so after thinking about it for a while, he assured Xue Yongli: "I will send a letter to Master Hou about the purple tea." When I send you out tomorrow, I will also announce to everyone: Lin'er will become the commander of the deputy general's mansion and the rank of leader of the leading regiment. ”
Of course, it is impossible for a child as young as Xue Chenglin to lead the troops. This appointment only confirmed his succession. In fact, this is the origin of the term "Yanei" in the Tang and Song dynasties, that is, the position of the designated heir of the Jiedu envoy who divided various places at that time.
After Xue Yongli left, Wu Shigong could no longer suppress the anger in his chest, he slapped the table heavily and scolded: "Grass! ”
Wu Shigong returned to the inner house in a rage, thinking about settling the account with Li Xin. It seems that he is too tolerant of those ladies, their tails are about to be cocked to the sky, and they dare to interfere with the government affairs of the Runing Army!
Hearing about Wu Shigong's return, Li Xin took his wife and children to the door to greet him again, but when he saw Wu Shigong's face, his face was wrong. She asked with concern, "Husband! What's wrong? ”
Wu Shigong's temper suddenly came out, and he shouted at Li Xin: "You still ask me? You don't know what's going on? Finding that his other wives and children were looking at him with frightened eyes, Wu Shigong forcibly suppressed his anger, took a long breath, and said to Li Xin: "You come to the room with me." ”
As soon as I entered Li Xin's house. Li Xin's tears fell. In the time from the door to the time when she entered the house just now, Li Xin had already figured it out. Only his proposal for Wu Chengying may anger Wu Shigong.
But what can Li Xin do? In the ordinary noble house. Although it was the eldest son who took the name and the big head, as long as the head of the family favored, each son also had a rich inheritance of the family property.
And when Li Xin first married Wu Shigong, because Wu Shigong had not yet started, and he was a son-in-law, Li Xin still had illusions. fantasized that he would become another lady of Wu Shigong and pass on the bloodline of the surname Wu. If that's the case, even if Li Xin has less family property here, she will admit it.
The development since then is also in line with Li Xin's wishes. She successfully gave birth to her eldest son surnamed Wu. Wu Shigong praised her to the position of the housekeeper again. And Wu Shigong also took Li Xin and Wu Chengying to meet his grandfather Gongshun Hou Wu Weizhong, and asked him to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.
But then the situation got out of control. As Wu Shigong's pillow person, of course, everything Wu Shigong did couldn't hide from Li Xin. She knew that Wu Shigong was taking a road of no return. If he fails, he may die and the clan will be wiped out, but if he succeeds, what position will Wu Shigong reach? Li Xin didn't dare to imagine it anymore.
And now the position of the heir is hot, and the difference between the heirs has become a world of difference. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Li Xin has to fight for Wu Chengying no matter what.
And Li Xin can't fight it. After meeting Xue Yufei last time, Li Xin knew that this eldest lady was a scheming person, but Mama Qiu beside her was a powerful character who couldn't rub sand in her eyes. Therefore, the Xue Mansion must have also seen Wu Chengying's threat. Aison is heartfelt, Li Xin is afraid that her mother and son will be harmed by Xue Fu, so this has become a matter of not advancing or retreating.
But if Li Xin wants Wu Chengying to take the position, she must get the support of the high-level of the Runing Army, but she has no shili in the Runing Army at all, only a very unreliable calligrapher, so she is eager to win over the important ministers of the Runing Army.
But when Li Xin asked Deng Qifan to become Wu Chengying's teacher, he was immediately rejected by Deng Qifan. So she went to the doctor in a hurry, and went to Xue Yongli's wife to propose marriage without Wu Shigong. Li Xin also knew that it was unlikely that this proposal would be successful, but she would have to give it a try, otherwise, Li Xin would never give up.
And seeing Wu Shigong's anger just now, Li Xin knew that the incident in the east window had happened. However, after entering the house, Li Xin didn't care about Wu Shigong's ugly face, pulled the corner of Wu Shigong's clothes, and asked in a trembling voice: "Husband! Is there no hope for Ying'er? ”
was asked so pitifully by Li Xin, and Wu Shigong's anger disappeared all at once. He also thought of Wu Chengying, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his chest. However, in order to make Li Xin die, Wu Shigong still replied with a hard heart: "Ying'er has no chance!" Even if there is no Lin'er, there is also Ping'er. ”
Li Xin's tears flowed down suddenly, and she choked up: "Weishenme? Weishenme Ying'er can't do it? He and his husband are the most similar, they both like sticks, they are very strong, and they are very filial to their husbands, and their husbands don't give him a chance? ”
The last time she went to the capital, Li Xin also met Xue Chenglin. Because Xue Chenglin grew up in the Hou Mansion since he was a child, his every move was taught, and he was enlightened early, so he was a little polite and polite, and he was a little adult-like calm and calm.
And Wu Chengying grew up next to Wu Shigong, he was less restrained, and he has been imitating his father's actions, so his behavior is simply a copy of Wu Shigong.
In any case, it would be extremely irrational to discuss this issue now. So Wu Shigong gritted his teeth and shook his head at Li Xin.
Seeing Wu Shigong's head, Li Xin suddenly lost control and hugged Wu Shigong, she begged: "Husband! The concubine is afraid! The concubine is afraid that Ying'er will be locked up in a city like the Chongwang in the city in the future! And...... And mutilated siblings......"
"Don't talk about it!" Wu Shigong didn't even want to hear this kind of talk, so he stopped Li Xin with a loud voice, "As long as I live, it is impossible for such a thing to happen." Lin'er isn't that kind of kid either. Don't be cranky. ”
"But what about you?" There is no taboo for Li Xin to speak today, "The concubine will definitely go with her husband." But what about our Ying'er? What about our three children? They...... They ......, woo! As she spoke, Li Xin couldn't cry.
"I'll leave a message!" Wu Shigong also hugged Li Xin and let her lean into his arms, "I will definitely leave a message for Lin'er." You're all right! Don't worry about it. ”
Wu Shigong comforted and patted Li Xin's back a few times, but he suddenly remembered Li Xin's previous words, so he held up Li Xin's chin and let her look at him, and asked happily, "Three children?" Do you have it again? ”
Li Xin nodded with teary eyes. Wu Shigong stroked Li Xin's lower abdomen a few times with his hand, and then poured her into his arms, muttering comfortingly: "Don't cry badly, it's not good for the child in your belly." It's okay! Everything will be fine! ”
Speaking of zuihou, Wu Shigong couldn't tell whether he was comforting Li Xin or comforting himself. From ancient times to the present, the struggle for inheritance has always been the most brutal war. Brothers are still haode, and it is not uncommon for brothers to kill each other. Wu Shigong didn't think that a suicide note of his could stop this kind of thing, so now he can only deceive himself.
finally waited until Li Xin's mood stabilized, Li Xin went inside to touch up her makeup, and Wu Shigong was also ready to leave. But as soon as he opened the door, he saw Wu Chengying standing at the door of the room crying silently.
The scene just now also frightened Wu Chengying, and Wu Chengying, who chased to the door of her mother's room, heard her mother crying in the room again. was afraid of Wu Shigong's anger and worried about his mother, so Wu Chengying didn't dare to speak out. He refused to be pulled by his mother-in-law, and stood stubbornly at the door of the room, crying and waiting for his parents to come out.
Wu Shigong hurriedly squatted down and hugged Wu Chengying, and Wu Chengying, who was aggrieved, cried loudly.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Don't cry! Don't cry! Wu Shigong comforted repeatedly.
"Father, swearing! Mother is crying! Woo-" While crying, Wu Chengying accused Wu Shigong. For children, as long as their parents quarrel, the father is always a villain.
"Dad didn't scold! Didn't scold your mother! Wu Shigong hurriedly explained.
At this time, Li Xin also heard the movement, she didn't care that she had only touched up half of her face, and hurriedly walked to the door of the room, as soon as she saw her eldest son crying, Li Xin couldn't help but hug the two of them and cry.
Wu Shigong didn't expect that how could a well-behaved hegemony drama be interspersed with a palace fighting drama? And in the palace fighting drama, there was a tingling pain in his chest.
The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat. As a father, I just want every child to be happy. But the cruelty of reality forced Wu Shigong to make a choice. Holding the mother and son who were crying bitterly, Wu Shigong also kept muttering to himself: "I will definitely find a way!" Will definitely figure it out! ”
In the evening breeze, Wu Shigong's self-talk looked so pale! (To be continued......)
