Chapter 30: The Wei brothers and sisters hide their blades

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, not only Sima Ting and Princess Qinghe finally became married, but the entire Luoyang City was also shrouded in joy. In front of each house, one or several big red lanterns are hung. The goose-feather-like snow did not affect the joy of the people of Dajin during the festival, but added a bit of the atmosphere of the New Year.

Luoyang Taibao Mansion is located near the Yongning Temple in Xicheng, which is different from the noisy scene in other places, but it seems a little depressed here. The gates of the Taibao Mansion have not been opened since the murder of Wei Guan, Wei Taibao and Wang Liang of Runan. If it weren't for the heavy snow in Luoyang City in the past few days, which had accumulated a thick layer on the ground, the front of Taibao Mansion would have been a mess.

Outside the ancestral hall in the backyard of Taibao Mansion, there are countless women and children gathered. Snowflakes kept falling on them, but none of them patted them with their hands. Even the children held their mother's hand silently, staring at the dozens of tablets enshrined in the ancestral hall in a daze.

A man and a woman kneeling in the ancestral hall, the man is naturally Wei Qi. The two generations of men in the Wei Mansion all died tragically under the clutches of Han Su and Dong Meng. Wei Qi, who was lucky enough to survive, is now the only adult male in the Wei Mansion, and the responsibility of this family has completely fallen on his shoulders.

The woman is Wei Shuo. Although since ancient times, daughters are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall to worship. But Wei Shuo was kneeling in the ancestral hall at the moment, but no one felt that there was anything wrong. After all, the rules are dead, and now the Weifu has reached the point where the men are withering and life and death, and they can't take care of so much.

Wei Shuo slowly straightened up, looked up at the spiritual position of Wei Xuan placed at the top, and sobbed silently: "Grandfather." The Wei family has experienced the Wei and Jin dynasties and has been glorious for 100 years. Now it is in an infinite crisis. Ten people, including grandmother and father and uncle, died, and the men of the Wei family withered, and the Wei family has reached the point of life and death. Wei Shuo is not talented, and he is willing to help Brother Qi get through the difficulties as a mere daughter. Grandfather and uncle have spirits in the sky, and they must bless the Wei family with peace and security! ”

Wei Qi glanced at Wei Shuo distressedly, stretched out his hand to help Wei Shuo up from the ground, and walked to the ancestral hall, facing the Wei family members who were standing silently in the wind and snow, sighed, and said, "Everyone please go back." It's cold, be careful if you catch a cold. ”

The group of women silently glanced at Wei Qi and Wei Shuo, their eyes were full of tears, they supported each other and turned around one after another, and retreated.

Wei Qi looked at Wei Shuo, whose face was full of tears, turned around silently, and stretched out his hand to gently close the door of the ancestral hall. Finding that Wei Shuo was looking in the direction of the palace in a daze, he sighed in his heart and called softly: "Sister Shuo." Let's go too. ”

Wei Shuo slowly retracted his gaze, lowered his head and muttered, "It's this hour." Sima Ting and Qinghe have already slept, right? ”

Wei Qi looked at Wei Shuo's sad appearance, and stopped talking, and finally could only smile bitterly and said, "Sister Shuo, let's go back too." ”

Wei Shuo pondered for a moment and nodded slightly. Some things, missed after all, are missed. Since you can't get along with each other, it's better to forget about each other......

Wei Yi, the elderly housekeeper of the Wei Mansion on the side, immediately stretched out two oil umbrellas and stepped forward, handed them to the two, and personally carried a lantern in front to guide the two of them. With a lonely atmosphere, the three of them slowly walked out of the backyard where the ancestral hall was located, and slowly moved forward in the wind and snow.

The elderly in case the body was covered with snowflakes after a while, Wei Shuo saw that the umbrella moved forward slightly, blocking a little wind and snow for the occasion, and said softly: "Uncle Yi, the wind and snow are heavy, you can hold the umbrella." I'll share it with Brother Qi. ”

Wei Yi was moved to tears, choked up, and was not pretentious, he took the oil umbrella from Wei Shuo's hand, but it was propped up on Wei Shuo's head again.

Wei Shuo sighed lightly, automatically moved under Wei Shuo's umbrella, and said, "Uncle Yi, you have to take care of yourself." Now in the scene of the Wei Mansion, you can't go down. ”

Wei Yi has followed Wei Qian since he was young, and in the blink of an eye, he has been in Wei Mansion for decades. Wei Yi's name was taken by Wei Qian, which means that he hopes that Wei Yi can be loyal and serve Wei Fu wholeheartedly. Wei Yi also lived up to Wei Qiang's expectations, no matter how up and down Wei Jong's life was, he always followed Wei Qiang. Even when the Wei family was arrested and imprisoned by the Chu army, and most of the domestic servants packed up and left, Wei Yi always stuck to his promise and never left the Wei Mansion.

Wei Qi also said: "Uncle Yi, what Sister Shuo said is exact. You just take it. ”

Wei Yi looked at the two of them blankly for a while, and finally nodded and propped himself up on top of his head.

The three of them walked and walked, and before they knew it, they were outside the small courtyard where Wei Shuo lived. Wei Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, I don't know if Miss wants to rest immediately?" There was one thing that the old slave originally wanted to tell the young lady after the New Year. Now that I think about it, it's better to discuss it with the young lady as soon as possible. ”

Wei Shuo shook his head and said, "I'm not tired. Brother Qi, Uncle Yi, go in and talk about it. ”

The three of them entered the main hall of Wei Shuo's courtyard and sat down, and Wei Yi said straightly: "Miss, childe." On that day, the Chu army suddenly crashed into the Wei Mansion and captured the old and young people from the Wei Mansion. At the same time, they also stole all the valuable things, and even the master's secret room was forcibly opened by them and ransacked. Later, the master was killed, and after the young ladies were released, more than 100 people ate and drank every day, relying on some silver taels that the old man rewarded the old slave when he was reincarnated, and now it is almost gone. Originally, the old slave didn't want to trouble the young lady with this little thing, but the old slave went to the minister's house who was good friends with the old man in the past two days, but none of them were willing to help us. ”

"These white-eyed wolves!" Wei Qi suddenly took the case, and he was upset and irritable for a while, and he couldn't imagine that the dignified Taibao's home would not be able to open the pot! He said coldly: "Hmph, Yibo, you don't have to worry about this." How many things Chu Jun moved, you can count them. In a few days, I will go to the Chu Palace's Mansion to find Sima Ting to come back little by little! ”

"This", Wei Yi hesitated: "Childe, isn't this okay?" Although our Wei Mansion was raided by the army sent by the King of Chu, it was Prince Ting who interceded for us, so that we could get out of the prison. Speaking of which, Prince Ting's family is still kind to us......"

Wei Qi said angrily: "What grace?!" When Lao Tzu first arrested our family, and then let us go as a son?! What is this called, huh! If it weren't for the King of Chu, my grandmother, and my father and uncle, they wouldn't have died! ”

Wei Shuo frowned and said, "Brother Qi, calm down!" Impulsiveness is useless. Yibo is right, no matter what, we can get out of the prison because of Sima Ting's help. Moreover, the Chu Wangfu is also in trouble now, and the King of Chu, the Prince of Ji and the two county lords have died. If Brother Qi comes to the door rashly, I'm afraid it will backfire! ”

Wei Qi said disdainfully: "I see that Sima Ting is holding Princess Qinghe now, right?" The hatred of the Chu Wangfu has long been left behind by him. ”

Wei Shuo listened to Wei Qi's more and more excessive, and said slightly angrily: "Brother Qi, do you think Sima Ting is the kind of person who can forget family feuds?" ”

Wei Qi snorted coldly and said, "How do I know who he is." ”

Wei Shuo said bitterly: "Brother Qi." Don't act rashly! Sima Ting endured humiliation and burdens, lurking beside Empress Jia, playing the same calculation as us. Since we all want to get rid of Jia Hou, we must unite even more. If we rely on our strength alone, if we want to seek revenge on Empress Jia, we don't know that we will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey. ”

Wei Qi teased: "I can hear it." Sister Shuo, this is a change of law to praise Sima Ting? ”

Wei Shuo was speechless for a moment, his face turned red, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Nothing." Wei Qi suddenly changed his words and said with a light smile: "Sister Shuo has a saying that is right. We all have to deal with Empress Jia, so we must unite and be our own people. Since it is his own person, then our Wei Mansion is about to be unable to open the pot now, so it is understandable to borrow hundreds of thousands of taels from Sima Ting, who is rich and rich, right? You're not your own! ”

Wei Shuo shook his head with a wry smile, he really didn't expect his words to come to such a conclusion. However, it seems that this problem is solved.

Yibo was also dumbfounded, but he didn't expect that what he thought was very tricky came to Wei Qi's hands, but it was solved like this.

Wei Shuo pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Qi, I will write a New Year's message later, and you will present it to Empress Jia early tomorrow morning in the name of the eldest grandson of the Wei Mansion." ”

Wei Qi couldn't sit still now, and said angrily: "What?!" Empress Jia killed so many people in our Wei family? You're going to sing praises to her to please her?! No way! I'm not going! ”

Wei Shuo stared at Wei Qi coldly and said, "Brother Qi, didn't you say it at the beginning?" For revenge, you have to listen to me for everything! If you are so willful, the Wei Mansion will be targeted by Empress Jia sooner or later, let alone revenge at that time, it is wishful thinking to leave a whole corpse! Brother Qi! Since Sima Ting has done this, why can't we do it! You must know that although Empress Jia doesn't want to move us, what if Empress Jia has a whim one day, the more than 100 lives of the Wei family? ! Who will save us then? ”

Wei Qi was silent for a long time, and said deflatedly: "Okay." I listen to you. ”

When Wei Shuo saw Wei Qi's appearance, he finally felt relieved, and said silently in his heart: Empress Jia, I will write you a eulogy today, and I will definitely write you an epitaph in the future! Expose your ugliness to the world! Ten lives of our Wei family! Sooner or later, I'll have you back!

It's just that Wei Shuo didn't know that she had been waiting for seven years......
