Chapter 252: Marrying Brother Wangshu
Lin Le has been in Yuncheng for many years, and when the forces and connections behind him were excavated little by little, everyone didn't expect him to hide so deeply.
After this incident, the eldest princess in Beijing was also implicated, and she was only under house arrest before, but now she has been completely deprived of her name and has become a commoner. However, the emperor remembered his family affection, and still allowed those imperial doctors and subordinates to serve by the eldest princess's side.
But the eldest princess's favorite Chen Hu died of Hualiu disease, and the eldest son and second son were anxious to get rid of her relationship and ignore her, and they were suddenly demoted to commoners, and the mansion where she had lived for many years was taken back, and the huge gap made her quickly thin and old, and she couldn't even get out of bed, and she could only spend the second half of her life on the bed.
When the news reached the Lu Mansion, Xiao Man suddenly felt a little embarrassed, thinking that the eldest princess had been prosperous and wealthy for so many years, and she had taken a wrong step for her son, and she actually lost the rest of her life.
"There's nothing to be sad about, speaking of which, it's all the eldest princess's own doing." Wei Xiuyuan leaned back in his chair and said casually.
Since Yuncheng came back, Zijin in the family made a lot of noise day and night to come to Lu Mansion to play, and Wei Xiuyuan, who loved his daughter the most, naturally agreed again and again, so he and Xia Wanrou often came to Lu Mansion to visit the door, and after a long time, Lu Fu also made room for the two.
On this morning, the four of them gathered together again to speak, and when they heard Xiao Man's emotion, Wei Xiuyuan couldn't help but interject and say a few words of his thoughts.
Xiao Man nodded, "That's right, but I still haven't figured it out, this Chen Hu has done nothing, and he loves to mess with flowers and grass, how can the eldest princess like him the most?" so much so that he paid for half of his life. ”
"You don't know that, do you?" As soon as he mentioned this, Wei Xiuyuan was interested, he straightened up, and said excitedly: "The husband of the eldest princess, that is, An Guohou, has made great achievements in the past and is a hero admired by everyone in Donglan Country, and later unfortunately died in a war, and the government and the opposition feel sorry for him. ”
And this Chen Hu and the deceased Hou Ye look very similar, everyone thinks that Chen Hu can inherit the mantle of the Hou Ye and become a general on the battlefield, so everyone loves him in every way, and the emperor and the eldest princess are especially doting. However, who would have thought that the favor of everyone caused this Chen Hu to be unenterprising, so that he later fell into this appearance. ”
It turns out that this is the case, no wonder the emperor was so doting on Chen Hu before, and he thought that he had high hopes for Chen Hu.
Xia Wanrou on the side laughed a few times after hearing this, and said: "But we juniors have never seen Master Hou at all, these things are just hearsay from Xiuyuan, and the truth is not yet known." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wei Xiuyuan was not happy, he pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "This is true, you haven't seen Master Hou, but it doesn't mean that I haven't seen it either." ”
The two of them suffered extremely, he muttered like this, Xia Wanrou heard it clearly, she turned sideways and leaned over to refute: "It has been more than 20 years since the death of the Hou Ye, and he has been fighting all year round, and he is rarely in Beijing, could it be that you have seen it in your dreams?" ”
Wei Xiuyuan pursed his lips, even though his face was reluctant, but he still compromised: "Okay, okay, I admit that I heard this, it's always okay, right?" ”
Xia Wanrou smiled and returned to her seat, and then gave up.
During the joke and dispute between the two, Xiao Man and Lu Li watched quietly on the side, occasionally showing a faint smile, but they didn't want to come forward to persuade them.
They all know that this is the way the two get along, Wei Xiuyuan likes to fight and play poor, while Xia Wanrou loves to demolish him the most, but every time he is exposed, Wei Xiuyuan is not angry, but is very happy.
After laughing for a while, Xia Wan smiled softly and looked at Xiao Man, "I heard that you are going to leave again in a few days, where are you going this time?" ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Man and Lu Li were also in a dilemma.
The hot summer is about to pass, the autumn harvest is abundant, there is a lively scene everywhere, Taoyuan County has already come to the letter, saying that they must go back to see, so that they can take advantage of the autumn weather to go out to play.
However, on the way back, she and Lu Li agreed that they would go to the north to have a look, and by the way, they would stay for a while so that they could experience different customs and customs. But this time, they received a letter from Taoyuan County, and they were really a little embarrassed.
And Taoyuan County is where Xiaoman grew up, Lu Li has also lived there for many years, and he is very familiar with every grass and tree there, so he really has no interest in playing, but after all, this is a request made by the elders, and they don't know how to refuse.
"Isn't that easy?" Wei Xiuyuan thought very simply: "When you go to the north, wouldn't it be good to take a trip to Taoyuan County by the way?" Explain the situation in person, and the elderly in the province are worried and worried. ”
Lu Li shook his head when he heard this, "Where is the matter as simple as you think, not to mention that this is not a smooth way at all, just say that after going to Taoyuan County, do you think we can still go?" ”
This is true, according to Su Qi's temperament, once they go far away to Taoyuan County, then Su Qi will definitely leave them to live for a while, and when the weather is colder, he will directly persuade the three of them to stay, so that they can celebrate the New Year together.
If this continues, where will they have time to go north?
After Lu Li said this, Wei Xiuyuan couldn't help frowning, "When you say this, it's really a little difficult to do, so what are you going to do?" ”
"There's really no way around it." Xiao Man frowned in embarrassment, "I thought you could come up with a good idea, but I didn't expect you to be inferior to us." ”
Xia Wanrou covered her lips and smiled, and said casually: "In my opinion, you don't want to go anywhere at all, and you can rest assured in Beijing this year." ”
Wei Xiuyuan hurriedly put down the teacup, and without thinking about it, he echoed: "Yes, yes, Wanrou is right, this is the best!" ”
Hearing this, Xiao Man couldn't help but look sideways at Lu Li, his eyebrows furrowed together, "It's not a bad idea, it's just ......"
The doctor said that Lu Li had to rest in Haosheng for at least two months, but Lu Li's body was good, and she didn't see anything unusual during this time, so she agreed to go to the north with a man, but now it seems that if she stays in Beijing this year, not only will she not have to worry anymore, but it will also be convenient for Lu Li to cultivate.
This autumn is very cold, and if you go to the north where it is too cold, I am afraid that you will not be able to stand it.
"It's just that I promised Wangshu before that I would take him to ride a horse, but now it seems that I am afraid it will not be realized." Lu Li replied with some regret.
"The child is still so young, and it is too dangerous to ride a horse. In my opinion, you should stay in Shangjing for the time being this year, and when spring begins, the weather will be warmer, and it will not be too late for you to go to the north again. Wei Xiuyuan waved his hand and persuaded.
As he was talking, someone from outside hurriedly ran in, "Mrs. Wei, the eldest lady suddenly cried in the backyard, and the minions couldn't persuade her, so go and take a look." ”
Wei Zijin has always only made others cry, but now that he is crying himself, he can't even persuade his subordinates, so something big must have happened.
Wei Xiuyuan was the first to stand up, and immediately ran to the backyard with an exclamation.
Xia Wanrou also immediately chased out, her steps flustered.
After all, the incident happened in his own home, and Wei Zijin had been playing with Lu Wangshu, Xiao Man was worried that Wangshu had said the wrong thing and made the little girl cry, so he hurriedly pulled Lu Li to the backyard.
When Xiao Man arrived in the backyard, Wei Zijin had been almost coaxed, but he still twitched twice from time to time, there were still tears on his little face, his big eyes were watery, and the corners of his eyes were red, and he looked like he was really crying.
Xia Wanrou and Wei Xiuyuan both squatted on the ground to coax the child, and Lu Wangshu stood to the side in a daze, completely calm and composed.
"Sister Wanrou, what's wrong with the child?" Xiao Man asked as he stepped forward.
Xia Wanrou coughed a little embarrassed when she heard this, and covered up the embarrassment in her heart by wiping the child's tears, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, it's just a child's play, don't take it to heart." ”
But as soon as these words came out, Xiao Man became more and more curious, she couldn't help but step forward and walk to Lu Wangshu's side, and said with a serious face: "Wangshu, tell my mother, what happened just now?" Did you make my sister cry? ”
She saw the changes in the two children during this time, Wei Zijin always liked to stick to Lu Wangshu's back, but Lu Wangshu was quiet by nature and didn't like to have fun, so Wei Zijin always returned disappointed.
Today's incident has nothing to do with Lu Wangshu.
"Xiaoman, this matter has nothing to do with Wangshu, don't blame him." Xia Wanrou got up and smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's normal for children to only see fighting, and besides, this matter is all blame, and it doesn't matter about Wangshu." ”
The more the other party said this, the more Su Xiaoman wondered, "Sister Wanrou, I just asked, don't think about it." ”
As she spoke, she squatted down and looked at Wangshu, and said seriously: "Wangshu, what happened just now, you say it, my mother won't blame you." ”
Lu Wangshu blinked and looked at Wei Zijin, and then secretly glanced at Xia Wanrou, and his eyes finally fell into Xiao Man's eyes, he lowered his head, his cheeks suddenly became extremely red, and his voice was small, but he still said it one by one: "Sister Zijin just said that she wanted to marry me, but I refused, and she cried." ”
"What?!" Xiao Man's jaw dropped in shock.
Xia Wanrou sighed helplessly and funny, "I said it all, it's just a child's joke, not about Wangshu." ”
Her daughter chased the boy at a young age, but she was rejected by the other party, no wonder she cried.
Wei Xiuyuan was also a little helpless, he wanted to teach his daughter a lesson, but when his eyes touched Wei Zijin, who was crying and his eyes were red, he couldn't help but swallow the words that came to his mouth.
Forget it, the child is still young, so let her do it.
It's just that this Lu Wangshu actually dared to refuse his daughter! I also made my baby daughter cry!
Thinking of this, Wei Xiuyuan couldn't help but glare at Lu Wangshu, frowned and asked in a deep voice with a slight displeasure: "Wangshu, what's wrong with Sister Zijin?" Why would you want to turn her down? ”
