Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Great Victory
[Chapter 2, Volume 2]
Section 63 Chapter 28 The Great Victory
Wei Changsui was anxious and planned with the old servant how to turn the situation around, and at the end of June, Fengzhou ushered in a great news!
- Great victory in the state!
Wei Changying's speculation before was really right, there were indeed Rong people who mixed into Fengzhou, and Liaocheng was betrayed by spies, with heavy casualties, and it was built three Jingguan several people high! The people in the city, there are no three out of ten!
This matter was forcibly suppressed by Wei Huan with thunderous means, after all, the terrain of Fengzhou is long and narrow, and the north and south are quite far apart, although some rumors have spread to Fengzhou City, but the Wei family has a deep-rooted power in this state, and has appeased the people of the state with both soft and hard, and has not admitted the news. Out of the trust in the Wei family all the time, after all, Fengzhou is the Wei family's Sangzi, and now the state officials are also the children of the Wei family, so it is impossible to give up Fengzhou easily.
Now Song Han has won a complete victory, more than 200 heads of the Rong people, and hundreds of young people have been captured - this kind of great victory, even Donghu and Xiliang have been rare in recent years, and they can cover up the fact that Liaocheng is almost empty.
Since then, Liaocheng's experience has been brought up lightly after the good news, and before the good news, such a tragic incident has been downplayed after all.
- The most important and noticeable thing about this will be to ask for merit and celebrate.
However, these are all official matters, and for the Wei family, there is still a private matter that can be determined for this good news, that is, Wei Gaochan's marriage.
Wei Shengnian was moved by Song Han's words before, and after agreeing to discuss with his parents, he would marry his eldest daughter to Song Han's eldest son, Song Duan. But it didn't happen that Old Madam Song was in a bad mood in those days, and after Pei's hit a nail, Wei Shengnian, who had a cowardly temperament, of course didn't dare to disturb his mother-in-law easily.
And Pei Shi also felt that her husband had always been soft-eared, and the husband who gave the concubine a few words might not really be as good as Song Han boasted about, and after discussing with Mrs. Song these days, he sent someone to investigate, and felt that Song Duan was just an ordinary child, although he did not have a bad reputation, but it was not good enough to be worthy of Wei Gaocian to marry. After all, Song Han is just a side branch of the Song clan in the south of the Yangtze River......
But this time, Song Duan made great contributions to the victory in the north of the state - Song Han emphasized in the letter of invitation that the reason why he was able to achieve a big victory this time was because Song Duan had a clever move and set up a plan to lure the Rong people into the trap, so that there was a direct relationship between encircling and annihilating him. And Song Duan also took the lead and killed more than ten heads with his own hands!
This kind of performance was confirmed from the mouths of a messenger sent by Song Han to report the news, and even Wei Huan was so happy that he praised Song Duan on the spot - such a good thing as a good thing, Song Han, who is bent on promoting his eldest son, will not forget his own flesh and blood.
Of course, Wei Huan praised Song Duan and praised Song Duan, he didn't believe all the words of this request, and the old lady Song He said this: "Song Duan has not yet reached the crown, and he was not a very smart person before. Nine is that Song Han gave him his credit, and Song Han still has some military ability. ”
Hengzhu is not a granddaughter of his relatives, not to mention that he can't worry about his grandchildren and granddaughters now, of course Mrs. Song will not pay too much attention to Wei Gao Chan, so she just said indifferently: "Song Han is a side branch, and his son, even if he is the eldest son, is still a little worse than Gao Chan's background." What's more, since Song Han is a long history, it is his duty to expel the Rong people and defend Wei Tu, and the court and the state will reward him according to the rules, do you want our family to reward him with his granddaughter? ”
Wei Huan sighed: "If it was a few decades ago, I wouldn't have agreed to this marriage, there is indeed a huge disparity between the families." But now that the world is in chaos, although our family is well-known at home, no one can say for sure that there is such a thing as Bingxie, the governor of the state is capable, support him, and each other is determined in their hearts. ”
"The world is really bad." At the mention of this, Mrs. Song also frowned a little, "Even the burning city has been built out of the Jingguan...... It's a loss for this victory! Otherwise, there is such a big thing in Liaocheng, but you and Sheng Nian don't tell the imperial capital, sit and watch the lives under the rule of the people, this crime is pressed down, although you are not afraid of such a time, but in the end it will damage the reputation of the Wei family for hundreds of years. ”
Wei Huan sneered and said, "It's not been a day or two that Wei Qi has coveted Fengzhou!" He is now also serving as the Xingtai of Yanzhou, and Yanzhou is only a few days away from the north of Fengzhou Prefecture? If this matter is not pressed, Wei Qi will definitely send a large army into the north of the state under the pretext of defending the territory...... These soldiers have entered Fengzhou, and it is difficult to say when they will leave! Sighing again, "I know Wei Qi's calculations very well, these are nothing when I am here, but now only one Sheng Yi can be used in the court, and the grandchildren are all small - the side branches do not dare to use it, so naturally everything is cautious and cautious, and it is better not to give him any reason." ”
Old Madam Song showed a look of disgust on her face, and said: "Take your time, Changfeng is now tied up in his hair, shelter the heavens, our body is still strong, hold him for a few years, this child is smart and willing to work hard, and he will definitely be able to support the court in the future." Although there are many descendants of this old thing, which one can compare with Changfeng? ”
Wei Huan heard what his old wife meant, and pondered for a moment before saying: "Changfeng is the eldest grandson of the long house, and his qualifications are good, if he can practice it in a few years, Zheng Hong's things will be given to him, and it is also a matter of course." ”
"We watched this kid grow up, can he still practice?" Although Mrs. Song had long regarded everything about Wei Huan as Wei Changfeng's bag, but now that Wei Huan said the promise in person, she was still happy, and smiled confidently, "It's really God's blessing, the big house can have this pair of children, they are all well-behaved, obedient and smart!" ”
Although Wei Huan focused on training his grandson, he also knew that Wei Changying was restless, so he mentioned it at this moment: "Chang Huan has been practicing martial arts in the past, and now she is about to leave the cabinet, shouldn't she learn to be quiet?" After all, being a daughter-in-law is not the same as being a daughter. ”
…… Old Madam Song, like the He family, couldn't listen to others say that her relatives didn't have half a word, especially Wei Huancai confided in her tone, handed over Fengzhou Wei to Wei Changfeng, and then questioned Wei Changfeng's sister, Old Madam Song immediately thought too much, her face turned yin instantly, and she asked: "But what did Chang Sui muttered in front of you?!" ”
Wei Huan had a headache and said, "Why do you think about everything in the second room?" Since returning to Fengzhou, except for kowtowing to me on the first day, which day didn't come to you first to say goodbye? When did you see me privately? He frowned and continued, "Besides, he has just come back, where is the reason to immediately inquire about his cousin's temperament?" Chang Ying, this child is also what I watched grow up, I don't know what kind of temperament she has, and I still need to say it for Chang Ying? ”
Old Madam Song sneered and said, "He didn't go to inquire about his cousin's temperament as soon as he came back—did he need this?" Who was Su Xiuman's blow to Chang Ying before? ! ”
"That's all bad ...... the main hall"
"Who knows if it's the second room pushing the boat?!"
"Didn't you say that you wouldn't mention it? How can I say that Sheng Yi has also respected you very much over the years! ”
"I'm his mother-in-law, shouldn't he respect me?! Could it be that I am a dignified wife and still grateful for the respect of a concubine and a child?! ”
The old couple was talking and talking, there was a big quarrel, and when the people saw that the situation was not good, they came up to the round to persuade them, and no one had the heart to talk about Wei Gaociao's affairs in detail, and they all said happily: "Parents are in charge of marriage matters, since they look good in the prime of life, then rely on him." ”
When these words spread to the third room, Wei Shengnian was very happy, as a concubine, his status was not high, and he also had a cousin Wei Shengyi who was far above him in talent and shrewdness, in this case, although Wei Shengnian was a noble son, in fact, there was no place for him to talk in the whole family since he was a child.
Especially since Feng Weihuan and Mrs. Song returned to their hometowns, nominally he was the assassin of Fengzhou, but in fact, if there was no old father Wei Huan to take care of him, he would have governed this Fengzhou into a mess long ago. Because he is too mediocre and incompetent, although Wei Huan plans for him, of course he is also very disappointed in him.
This time, I didn't ask Wei Huan and Mrs. Song what they meant, so I agreed to Song Han's proposal - I was very uneasy for a while after being told by Pei in private, for fear that I would be questioned by my father and mother-in-law.
I didn't want Wei Huan and Old Lady Song to be busy with their own things, so I didn't care about him at all. Not only that, Song Han and Song Duan were fighting tightly this time, although Wei Huan and Mrs. Song were not very satisfied with Song Han's identity as a side branch, but they had their own calculations, and they actually agreed to this marriage - this is equivalent to agreeing with Wei Shengnian's decision.
For Wei Shengnian, who has never made a few decisions to make his parents nod when he was a child, such a promise will lift his spirits!
Happy, Wei Shengnian told his wife Pei: "Gao Chan is our eldest daughter in the end, although there are other rules in the clan, but it doesn't hurt to be taller than ordinary concubines." ”
Pei Shi was afraid that others would say that he was not worthy of the daughter-in-law of the Wei family, and he was determined to be a virtuous mother praised by everyone, so he had no intention of treating Wei Gaocian badly, so he naturally agreed at this moment: "I want to follow Chang Yan's example in the future, that is, Gao Chan is the eldest daughter!" The young and the old are orderly, even if the concubine is in front, it can't be too different to make her feel delicious. ”
The couple discussed marrying their daughter, of course, the news was also reported to the person concerned by the maid, because Pei's treatment of the concubine has always been good, the two daughters were born similar, and they have always lived together, the maid told Wei Gaocian the news, Wei Changyan also heard it, and immediately congratulated her with a smile.
Although Wei Gaocian regrets that Song Duan is only a side branch of the Song family, but this time Song Duan has made such a big limelight, and with the care of Song Jiawei's family, the future will definitely not be bad - it seems that she always likes to be praised by everyone at her age.
With such a calculation in his heart, Wei Gaocian blushed with shame on his face, and scolded his sister-in-law that she was not allowed to say it.
The three-room sisters made a fuss here, and the news naturally spread all over the Wei family quickly.
The fourth lady is going to get married, such a happy event, of course, each room should congratulate the first one, and the third son of the second room happened to be in Fengzhou, so the big room and the second room both gave gifts to the third room - in order to make a face for the granddaughter, it is indeed satisfied and happy with the victory in the north of the state, Wei Huan also ordered a family banquet in the house to entertain the messenger who came back to report the victory, and the first guest at the banquet was, of course, the prospective grandson-in-law of the Wei family, Song Duan.
On such an occasion, of course, Wei Huan will not forget his children and grandchildren, he ordered Wei Changfeng to make a "Rejection of Rong Fu" in advance, and personally revised it, so that Wei Changfeng was familiar with it, and he made a show on the preparatory seat, and it was also to make a name for this grandson who had high hopes - since he wanted to bring Wei Changfeng to attend, of course the other grandchildren would also show their faces by the way.
Not only him, but also the Jingping Mansion, the Quxian Men's Mansion, and Wei Huan all posted posts, so nominally they first held a family banquet to celebrate the victory of the Northern Prefecture of Zhou, but in fact it was an opportunity for the Wei family to spread their reputation through the good news.
It's just that since this banquet is set up in Ruiyu Hall, the Jingping Mansion and the Quxian Men's Mansion both know that no matter how many means they have prepared for their descendants to spread their reputation, they can't cross Wei Changfeng.
The various branches of the Wei clan must not implicitly inform each other in private, so as not to bump into the topic......
Although Wei Changying was curious about the war in the north of the state, he could only hit his younger brother Wei Changfeng as usual, forcing Wei Changfeng to promise to inquire more about the details of the war at the banquet, so that he could tell her about it later.
Originally, she forced Wei Changfeng to do this or that not once or twice, and this time it didn't matter, Wei Changfeng always talked about two sentences of being a woman, and then agreed helplessly in front of her sister's fierce eyes and waving fists...... It's just that he didn't want to disperse, Wei Changfeng hurried to the Frost Court, but his face was very strange.
When Wei Changying saw it, he smelled the faint smell of wine on his body again, and suddenly his face sank, pinched his knuckles, looked at him obliquely, and said, "Don't tell me, you forgot what I explained?" ”
Wei Changfeng is now desperate for his sister's style of a woman who has no grace and no grace, but is almost reckless, and has no heart to correct it, but he frowned and said, "Eldest sister, look at this." ”
