Chapter 54: The Visitor
Wei Tong sat in a wheelchair, Wei Shan stood aside, and the two were followed by more than a dozen guards with tigers on their backs. Wei Tong glanced at the few big characters hanging above the gate of the county government, and whispered: "I don't know what kind of person this Suizhi County is?" ”
Wei Shan stepped forward, "Don't you know when you see it?" After speaking, he instructed the guards: "Jin Yi, go." ”
Jin Yi immediately received the order.
The guards of the county government saw that the person who came showed the token of Prince Gong's mansion, and they didn't know whether it was true or not, and after the two looked at each other, one of them said: "Please wait a moment, your Excellency is not in the county government today, wait for me to report to Mrs. ”
Jin Yi didn't embarrass them, and quickly retreated behind his master.
In the backyard of the county government, Yan Niang was teaching her daughter Nuhong, and Qi came in from outside, "Madam, the county government guard came to report that someone from Prince Gong's Mansion was visiting." ”
Yan Niang was stunned for a moment, the embroidery needle accidentally pricked her finger, and the pain brought her back to her senses, "Prince Gong's Mansion?" ”
Qi nodded, "King Gong's grandson is waiting outside with his guards. ”
Yan Niang immediately got up, "Hurry up and follow me to greet you." After speaking, he said to Qingyang: "You go to find the rules, let him hurry up and find the adult back." ”
Qingyang sighed and hurriedly went.
Yan Niang changed into the clothes of the guests, and then took her daughter out to greet the guests of Prince Gong's Mansion.
After more than a year, Wei Tong once again saw the little girl who fell with him, he smiled and beckoned to her, "Manman, come to my brother." ”
Man Man hid behind Yan Niang and stared at him curiously, who is this good-looking brother, she doesn't seem to know him.
Yan Niang squatted down and touched her daughter's head, and said softly: "Manman, when you were caught by a kidnapper, it was Shisun who saved you." ”
Full of doubts: "But that brother is not in a wheelchair." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wei Zhi lowered his eyelids, and Wei Shan's face was also a little dark. Yan Niang also sensed the embarrassing atmosphere in the air, and she apologized to Wei Tong on behalf of her daughter, "The little girl's unintentional words offended the grandson, and I ask the grandson to forgive me." ”
Wei Tong shook his head, "It's okay, Mrs. Jiang doesn't have to be nervous." ”
After speaking, he smiled and said, "My brother also had a wheelchair at that time, but he was robbed by a kidnapper." ”
Man Man blinked, "Really? After speaking, he snorted again, "The kidnapper is too bad, brother, don't be afraid, my father is an official, he will protect us." ”
Wei Tong smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'm not afraid." ”
Yan Niang saw that the atmosphere had eased, and she breathed a sigh of relief. King Gong's grandson is a royal bloodline, and she is really afraid that her daughter will offend others by saying the wrong thing, so she only hopes that her husband will come back soon.
After Jiang Yucheng heard that King Gong's grandson had visited, he hurried back despite his doubts. When they arrived, they heard that King Gong and his entourage were at the old lady's place.
Mother Jiang likes this handsome and sweet mouth King Gong's grandson very much, and she can't help but feel pity when she sees that he lost his legs at a young age. She said, "Shisun, even if you live here, you won't be fine for as long as you live." ”
When Jiang Yucheng came back, he happened to hear this sentence. He didn't understand, why did King Gong's grandson live in Suitui for a long time? Soon Wei Zhi solved his doubts.
Wei Tong came to recuperate, and the imperial doctor said that the capital was cold in winter, and he could only suffer if he stayed in Beijing, so it was best to choose a warm place to recuperate. King Gong originally chose Lingnan for his grandson, which was much more prosperous than Quansui, but Wei Tong had to come to Quansui, and the imperial doctor also said that Quansui was much warmer than Lingnan, so King Gong was willing to let go.
Wei Shan voluntarily followed Wei Tong to exhaust Sui, and his mother, who was the step-concubine of the former King of Jiangdong, Weng, asked him to go south to Yucheng County with a large number of gifts to make amends to King Gong after the King of Jiangdong was demoted to the general of Zhenguo.
After he saw Wei Zhi, he realized how hateful his eldest brother Wei Zhi was, and his casual actions ruined Wei Zhi's life. King Gong was angry with him because of Wei Ji and his father, and let people escort him to watch Wei Ji struggle in pain on the bed, and watch his face become distorted and hideous because of the pain.
Wei Shan, who was only ten years old, was shocked like never before, and his legs hidden under his robe were shaking with shock and fear. At that moment, he hated that he was Wei Jincheng's son, and even more hated Wei Wei, the eldest brother who destroyed Wei Jincheng's legs.
He decided to stay with him.
After obtaining King Gong's consent, Wei Shan wrote a letter to his mother, Weng, telling her that he wanted to stay in Yucheng County and that she should not worry. As a mother, how could Weng not worry, the next day she took a boat to Yucheng County, and when she arrived at the palace courtyard, when she saw her son reading and writing with Wei Tong, a nervous heart fell.
She felt that it was okay for her son to stay by Wei Tong's side, her husband Wei Jincheng had been abolished, and he had been drunk all day since he was demoted, and Wei Cai had made the Zhenguo General's Mansion ridiculous.
After returning from Yucheng County, the Weng family moved to the Zhuangzi who accompanied the marriage, leaving the messy Zhenguo General's Mansion to Wei Jincheng and his son.
Although Wei Tong hated Wei Shan, he would not be angry with the innocent Wei Shan, so the two got along very well, and after a long time, they even gave birth to a little bit of brotherly feelings.
Wei Zhi wanted to go to Sui to recuperate, and Wei Shan followed all the way. He once asked Wei Tong curiously, why did he choose such a remote town for the banquet to be so suitable for him to recuperate.
Wei Tong smiled and did not answer his question.
When he saw him talking to a little girl with a pleasant face, he understood why he chose to come here. Lively and cute, innocent, and they are very different from those of the clan who know how to intrigue from birth.
Wei Tong did not dislike the poor conditions of the county office, rejected Jin Yi's request to find another place to live, and planned to live in the county government during the period of recuperation. Yan Niang had no choice but to take her family to quickly pack up a few rooms and come out, but it was only enough for Wei Zhi, Wei Shan, Jin Yi and the accompanying doctors to live, and the rest of the guards could only follow the officials to squeeze the big shop.
Wei Tong and Wei Shan didn't bring a maid to serve, Yan Niang planned to let Qingyang go over to serve, but Wei Tong politely refused: "Thank you Madame for your kindness, since I beat my legs, I won't use the maid anymore." The two little servants who serve me on weekdays will arrive tomorrow, and I will ask my wife to arrange a place for them to live. ”
Yan Niang nodded, reassuring him.
What Yan Niang didn't expect was that when Wei Tong's little servant came, he also brought a large number of people waiting and several carriages of things, and after they came in, the county government looked very cramped.
Wei Zhi was a little apologetic, he didn't expect his grandfather to send so many people and things. Please ask Jiang Yucheng to come forward, buy the house on the street opposite the county office, and arrange those people to the house.
King Gong also wrote a letter to Jiang Yucheng, in which he begged him to take care of his grandson, and he did not order him as King Gong, but asked him in the voice of a grandfather who loved his grandson.
Prince Gong's Mansion is thin, Jiang Yucheng has also heard of it, King Gong is old, and there is only such a single seedling left under his knees, how can he not cherish it.
Wei Tong and Wei Shan were very happy to stay at their best, they slowly let go of their guards, and smiled carefree like real children.
Wei Tong likes to play with Manman, and when Jiang Yucheng is not free, he is teaching her to paint red. Unlike him, Wei Shan especially likes twins, the Wenyan and Wenbo brothers are almost one year old, and they are in the stage of teething, and when they play with them, they often salivate on his face.
Wei Shan didn't dislike it, Yan Niang sometimes couldn't look at it, but Wei Shan said: "Don't blame them, Madam, I like them." ”
said that his nose was a little sour, "At the beginning, my mother was also pregnant with twins, but she didn't give birth, I kept thinking that if my mother gave birth to her younger brothers and sisters, maybe it would be as cute as Wen Yan Wenbo." ”
Yan Niang was very uncomfortable when she heard this, and said comfortingly: "Don't think too much, if you want, you can treat them as your younger brothers." ”
"Thank you, ma'am." Wei Shan nodded happily. After a while, he asked again: "Madam, I heard that Lord Song Xiu and Song are also here, why have I never seen him?" ”
Song Xiu?
Yan Niang said: "Lord Song doesn't live in the county government, and he likes to stay in the fields all day, so it's normal that you don't see it." ”
"Then does he have a wife, is there anyone around to serve him?" Wei Shan continued to ask.
I really don't know if Song Xiu has married Yan Niang, "Lord Song only brought two old servants here, and they take care of their daily life on weekdays. ”
Hearing this, Wei Shan nodded thoughtfully and did not continue to ask.
The winter days are never bitterly cold and depressed, and after the fog clears in the morning, the sun slowly rises from the east and shines warmly on people. It was originally a beautiful day, but the arrival of two uninvited guests, Ling Sanniang and Du Dalang, broke the peace.
The couple went all the way south from the capital, took the waterway to the land, and finally arrived at their destination before the winter solstice. They tried their best to find an inn in the city, and they didn't care about resting and went directly to the door to ask for a meeting.
Yan Niang didn't want to deal with them, but for the sake of Ling Sanniang's good treatment of her in the past, she still let them in.
Ling Sanniang stared at Yan Niang for a long time, she couldn't believe that the beautiful and slender woman in front of her was her former second sister-in-law, if it weren't for the tone and voice she had not changed when she spoke, she would have wondered if Jiang Yucheng had divorced his wife and married another.
Obviously, she wasn't like this the last time we met. Ling Sanniang had mixed feelings in her heart, and she couldn't help but imagine that if she was like this at the beginning, would the second brother still be willing to reconcile with her?
Seeing that his wife was stunned, Du Dalang hurriedly pulled her sleeve.
Ling Sanniang came back to her senses at this time, "Sister Yan Niang, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have changed a lot. ”
"Hmm." Yan Niang responded lightly and asked, "You have come all the way here, it shouldn't be for you to say this." ”
Ling Sanniang wanted to speak and stopped, and Du Dalang on the side stepped forward and handed her a letter. "Mrs. Jiang, this is a letter from my second uncle to you, if you have anything to say, you might as well read the letter before talking."
Yan Niang didn't answer, frowned and said, "I have nothing to do with him, I won't read this letter." ”
Du Dalang said: "Mrs. Jiang should read the letter first, otherwise she will miss the full future, and it will be too late to regret it in the future." ”
Hearing the two words, Yan Niang immediately became vigilant and hurriedly asked someone to call Jiang Yucheng.
