Chapter 149: Heavy Rain
Wei Shan's arrival gave Yan Niang's mother and son time to rest, and the overseer didn't know Wei Shan's identity at first, and was about to scold him to leave, when the guard of Qili arrived.
The guard was very polite to Wei Shan, and invited him to the official office for tea and rest. Wei Shan had a task on his part, and he had to rush back immediately after delivering the things to the Jiang family, so he refused the invitation of the guard.
Wei Shan asked Yan Niang: "Aunt Jiang, what about Uncle Jiang and the two younger brothers?" ”
Yan Niang said: "The three of them, father and son, are repairing the river embankment. ”
Wei Shan's face changed when he heard this, and he looked at the guards angrily, "Didn't you ask you to arrange some easy work for them, why did you arrange for them to repair the river embankment?" ”
The guard's head was full of sweat, and when he was about to explain, he heard Yan Niang say: "It's not about the guard, it's your Uncle Jiang who wants to go, he wants Wenbo and Wen Yan to experience the life of the people at the bottom." ”
Hearing this, Wei Shan's face softened, and he said to the guard: "I was too anxious just now, and I hope the guard will not take it to heart." ”
The guard hurriedly said, "My lord, it's serious. After speaking, he asked: "My lord, did you send someone to invite Lord Jiang's father and son back?" ”
Wei Shan shook his head and patted Wen Yu on the shoulder, "Yu'er, take me to your father and brothers." ”
The fish nodded.
Wen Yu took Wei Shan to the place where the river embankment was repaired, Yan Niang was originally going to go back to continue hoeing, but the guards didn't dare to let her go back, so they asked their own wife to come and accompany her.
When Wen Yu and Wei Shan arrived at the place where the river embankment was repaired, Jiang Yucheng and his two sons were picking up silt. The father and son were different from the previous ones, and at the moment they were wearing coarse cloth clothes and carrying a burden on their shoulders, no different from other porters.
Wen Yu recognized his father and brothers at a glance, and when Wei Shan saw them, he couldn't help but have a sour nose.
"Uncle Jiang, Wenbo Wenyan, you have suffered."
Wen Yan wiped the sweat on his face and said with a smile: "It's not bitter at all, it's much easier than me practicing martial arts." ”
Wenbo also nodded, "It turns out that I only described this kind of life to my father in a book, and I felt that it was not easy for the people to experience it myself." ”
Wei Shan looked at Jiang Yucheng with a smile on his face, "It seems that Uncle Jiang's hard work and two younger brothers can understand, but after all, you are different from people who work all year round, if your body can't bear it, go to the guards to change to an easier job." ”
After speaking, he leaned into Jiang Yucheng's ear and said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "Third brother asked me to tell you that you can be ready to return to Beijing at any time." ”
Jiang Yucheng's face remained unchanged, but his heart was turbulent, he glanced at Wei Shan fixedly, and Wei Shan nodded at him.
After saying the most important thing, Wei Shan handed them the things that were fully prepared. Yan Niang and Jiang Yucheng asked about Man Man and Wei Zhi again, and Wei Shan told them that everything was fine.
Wei Shan stayed in Qili for less than two hours, and then hurried to the capital. Wei Shan came to visit, and the family members of the convicts in Qili and the local people all knew that the new Jiang family had a backstage, and they would greet them politely when they met them.
Some people who want to climb up to them also aim at the two brothers Wenbo and Wenyan, and often let the unmarried daughter of the family hang around them.
Compared with Yan Niang, she was very distressed, and complained to Jiang Yucheng: "Those girls are too disrespectful, although our Jiang family has no view of the door, but we can't marry those impure women to enter the door." ”
Jiang Yucheng said: "I think this is a good thing. ”
Yan Niang was a little incomprehensible, Jiang Yucheng explained to her, "Wenbo and Wenyan are in their youth, this age is the most susceptible to temptation, if they can resist the temptation, it can be regarded as exercising their hearts." ”
Yan Niang's words made Yan Niang disagree, "What if they fail to resist the temptation?" ”
Jiang Yucheng said with a straight face: "Then the only way to do it is to let them take responsibility and do it according to the rules." ”
Yan Niang felt a sense of depression in her heart, and then turned her face to the side, not wanting to pay attention to Jiang Yucheng.
When the two of them spoke, they ignored Wen Yu, who was sleeping soundly in the house, and he listened to the conversation between the two word for word.
Before going to bed at night, Wen Yu retold the conversation she had heard from her parents during the day, and Wen Bo and Wen Yan were surprised to hear it.
Wen Yu blinked, "Big brother and second brother, you have to be careful, in case you are falsely accused by those women with evil intentions, I will have two more sisters-in-law." ”
Wen Bo and Wen Yan glanced at each other, and they both saw distress on each other's faces. Since then, as long as the two of them see a woman appearing, they will stay away.
In a blink of an eye, it has been a month since the Jiang family came to Qili. On this day, it rained so much rain that the guards allowed everyone to go back and rest for the day.
No one expected that in such bad weather, a few people would secretly cross the Qili River.
Those people were none other than the samurai sent by the lord of the Tuo Kingdom who had been fighting the Jiang family's idea, with the purpose of kidnapping the Jiang family to negotiate terms with Wei Tong.
Adjacent to Jiang's family is a military household, and there is a young man Jin Sheng who is similar to Wenbo Wenyan in the military family, and he always likes to learn martial arts with Wenyan when he has nothing to do.
The two of them made an appointment to compete before work on the morning of the second day the first night, but who knew that the rainstorm was in the way, and there was almost no chance for the whole day.
Jin Sheng almost didn't meet a family member of a criminal official who was as good as Wen Yan and didn't dislike him in Qili, and after getting acquainted with Wen Yan, he always regarded him as a friend.
The rainstorm doesn't stop, so he can't meet his friends, Jin Sheng peeked out from the window hole from time to time, but saw a group of people wearing cloaks and hats sneaking into the courtyard of Jiang's house.
Jin Sheng always felt strange in his heart, and said to his father: "Daddy, there are many people in the Jiang family, all wearing hats and cloaks, and I always feel that something is wrong. ”
Father Jin listened, "The Jiang family is different from ours, there are nobles in the capital, and they will go back after three years." Maybe the warden sent someone to bring them something. ”
Jin Sheng shook his head, "It's not like they're sending things, they gesture and communicate after walking a few steps, but it's like they're going to Jiang's house to steal something." ”
Hearing his son say this, Father Jin also sensed that something was wrong, who in Qili didn't know that the nobles from the capital brought a lot of things to the Jiang family, and I heard that there were a lot of valuable ones.
He picked up the spear standing in the corner and said to his son, "I'll go and see what is going on, you stay at home." ”
Jin Sheng hurriedly picked up the stick he used on weekdays, "Dad, I'll go with you." ”
Father Jin glanced at him and agreed, and the father and son told Mother Jin to close the door before leaving home.
After entering the courtyard of the Jiang family, the warriors of the Tuo Kingdom did not dare to act rashly, and the sound of the rainstorm falling well hid the footsteps they made.
The leader ordered two to guard the door, and he led the other two straight to the main house.
Jiang Yucheng is taking the examination for the experience of his three sons going to work recently, and Yan Niang is doing needlework on the side. Wen Yan was most annoyed by dancing and writing, and he didn't know how to write for a long time.
He looked towards the door, hoping that the rainstorm would stop soon, and that he would rather pick up the mud than be forced to write an article.
At that moment, he faintly heard the call of a cuckoo. Wen Yan was a little excited, it was the voice of Jin Sheng next door. After the two became friends, he learned that Jin Sheng also had a unique skill in ventriloquism.
