[Chapter 5, Volume 5]
Section 492
Lai Qinniang was originally Ji Gu's adopted daughter, although she grew up in the grass, she was taught by Ji Gu to be able to be Yunwen and Yunwu, which was quite extraordinary. It's just that she is unwilling to be beautiful and talented, but she dies in the recklessness, and at this time she met Wei Xinyong, who has outstanding demeanor and a well-born background, and fell in love with him at first sight, regardless of the fact that she has been controlled by her adoptive father Ji Gu, she willingly defected to Wei Xinyong.
After she betrayed Ji Gu, Ji Gu cut off her antidote, and she didn't live for half a year.
But later, Ji Gu's daughter Ji Chunmian and Lai Qinniang's brother Lai Dayong pleaded hard together, coupled with the fear of Wei Xinyong, who was also a child of Valve, and just in case, Ji Gu remembered the old love and spared Lai Qinniang's life.
But even so, Ji Gu still abolished Lai Qinniang's hard-working martial arts, and imprisoned her in the abandoned Caojiabao, and was not allowed to leave half a step as a punishment.
In the middle, Wei Xinyong did not move, and completely stayed out of the matter. His attitude, Ji Gu was expected, Ji Chunmian and Lai Dayong were extremely angry, and they didn't know how many times they had scolded in private-Wei Changying had always known the ruthlessness of his sixth uncle, and he was not surprised at all that he gave up Lai Qinniang, who was no longer of much use.
But now Wei Xinyong took this opportunity to ask Lai Qinniang to surprise her: "Sixth uncle, he actually remembers Lai Qinniang?" β
Shen Zangfeng smiled lightly and said, "After all, it was the one who helped him." β
"I have to talk to Uncle Ji about this, I think Uncle Ji should give this face." Wei Changying thought about it for a while-Wei Xinyong told the Shen family about Mo Binwei's secret son this time, in the final analysis, it was for his own benefit, as for Lai Qinniang, it was just by the way. Thinking about the fact that the girl is both talented and scheming, but her background is not good, from her adoptive father to her lover, there is no one who does not cheat her, which is really pitiful...... Wei Changying groaned, "But now even Yan'er can't take it for the time being, even if this Lai Qinniang promises it to him, it's hard to say when it will be handed over to him." β
"He knows that, too." Shen Zangfeng said, "I don't think he wants Lai Qinniang to come to the imperial capital as soon as possible, after all, now that Uncle Wei Liu's own can't be protected, Lai Qinniang is here, but it has become a burden." With you going to open your mouth to Uncle Ji, I don't think Uncle Ji will deliberately torture Lai Qinniang to death. β
Wei Changying nodded and said, "I'll write a letter tonight and send someone to deliver it tomorrow." β
After the couple finished discussing the matter, Wei Changying asked about the progress of the eldest son's schoolwork: "Don't be too restrained by him, he hasn't reached the age of enlightenment yet, and he will learn this and that one day, it's pitiful." β
Shen Zangfeng was influenced by Shen Xuan and thought that he should be strict with his father, and he couldn't make jade if he didn't cut it. Besides, if there is no accident, Shen Shuguang will take on the entire Xiliang Shen clan foundation in the future, how can he relax? However, he knew that his wife had always felt guilty because his eldest son had been raised by his grandmother in the past few years, and he was inevitably extra lenient and indulgent to his eldest son.
So he made a few perfunctory words of understatement, and immediately said that the matter attracted his wife's attention: "I will leave in two or three days, and the eldest son who will leave at the end of the month is full of wine, but I can't go, and you will bring a congratulatory gift for me when you go, which I promised him last year." β
Wei Changying asked, "What is it?" β
"A dagger seized from the Di people." Shen Zangfeng said, "It is said that it was given to the ancestors of the Nadi people by the previous generation of Da Danyu, in short, it is very sharp. At the beginning, I liked it very much, so I said that I would wait for his eldest son to send it over in the first week. β
Shili is Liu Xixun's word, in the past, when Shen Zangfeng was in the Praetorian Guard with him, he called Liu Xixun his brother according to his age, but after Liu Xixun married Wei Changying's cousin Song Xiyue, the two became brothers-in-law, so they were called by his wife's side - Liu Xixun wanted to call Shen Zangfeng brother-in-law in turn.
When Wei Changying returned to the imperial capital, because she was wearing the filial piety of her grandmother, Mrs. Wei, it was difficult to move around, and she never met her sisters. This middle Duanmu Xinmiao was picked up by Mrs. Su, Duanmu Xinmiao was used to it, and he didn't care about any bad luck, so he went to Jintong Courtyard to see her, and when he chatted, he mentioned that Song Xiyue was not doing well after leaving the cabinet, if he hadn't given birth to his eldest son at the end of last year, he was afraid that he would have to suffer more grievances.
Because of this, Wei Changying really didn't like Liu Xixun. A few days ago, she was full of filial piety, and she went to visit Song Xiyue once, and found that there were indeed many beautiful concubines in the backyard, although these concubines were still in order, but compared to the purity of Jintong Courtyard, it can be said that there is a world of difference. After that, Wei Changying hated this brother-in-law even more, but Liu Xixun's eldest son was a grandson and Wei Changying's nephew. This is a full week banquet, and Wei Changying wants to go to congratulate his cousin.
At that moment, Wei Changying asked where the dagger was placed, and he agreed.
After saying this, it was almost time for dinner. Shen Shuguang, who was accompanied by Shen Stack in the front yard, worked hard to finish the homework left by his father, and was allowed to go back to the back to say goodbye to his parents.
After dinner, the couple coaxed Shen Shuguang back to their room to sleep, and after bathing and changing, they had to make love.
After two days like this, Shen Zangfeng packed his bags and went to the garrison of the Xiliang Army in Gyeonggi, ordered 20,000 soldiers and horses, and reinforced. When he left this time, because he needed to sacrifice the flag, and the court specially sent people to Zhuangxing, his family only sent a few steps at home, so as not to rush to the city gate and delay the departure of the army.
The next day after Shen Zangfeng led the troops to leave, because he was "seriously injured", Shen Zangli, who was slowly sent back by the carriage, arrived in the imperial capital. Shen Yongshi and Shen Yongkun went out of the city to greet him after receiving the news in advance, and escorted him back to the Taifu Mansion, and the Shen family had already invited the imperial doctor to wait in the backyard.
After some looking and questioning, and learning that Shen Zangli was not worried about his life, the Shen family breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing off the imperial doctor, the ladies had to shed tears - Mrs. Su felt sorry for her eldest son, Liu was worried about her husband, and Shen Shujing felt sorry for her father...... The second room and the third room are accompanied by him, and he has to press the corners of his eyes from time to time to comfort a few words.
It was easy for Mrs. Su to remember that the imperial doctor told Shen Zangli to recuperate now and dismiss everyone, and Wei Changying escaped.
When she returned to Jintong Courtyard, she heard Shen Shuguang running around in the courtyard, shouting and screaming - when she entered the door, sure enough, the new brocade robe that this kid had changed into in the morning to say goodbye to his father was already like rolling in a muddy puddle for more than a dozen times, and he couldn't even see the color.
Wei Changying was angry and funny, raised his voice to call him to him, and was about to ask, but Shen Shuguang took the lead and threw himself into her arms and coquettishly screamed.
"You! Your father has just left, you are so lazy, be careful that he comes back and gives you a good look! Wei Changying scolded him a few words, but Shen Shuguang knew that his mother doted on him, and he was not afraid at all, so he pulled his mother's skirt and talked sweetly, and said with a smile: "If a child has a mother, he is not afraid of his father!" β
"Your father disciplined you for serious things, is your mother the kind of person who dotes on you?" Wei Changying said something that was clearly shameless, but he didn't continue to pursue it. led him into the house and asked someone to fetch water to clean up the mother and son - this kid just played crazy for a while, making his face and hands dirty, pulling Wei Changying's skirt and coquettish for a long time, and immediately left a string of black handprints.
After cleaning up, Shen Shuguang shouted to eat citrus, Wei Changying ordered someone to take it, peeled it with his own hands, and chose to remove the oranges, and then fed it to the mouth of the eldest son who was smiling, seeing that he ate sweetly, Wei Changying also felt that he was in a very good mood. In the middle of the mother and son, there was a sound of footsteps approaching in the corridor, but when they reached the door, they stopped.
A moment later, the footsteps were far away againβWei Changying recognized it as He.
The He family was originally a confidant aunt who served Wei Changying closely, because she remarried and gave birth to a daughter, and now Jiang Heyue is still young and cannot do without her mother's care. So Wei Changying assigned her a spare errand to do, so she was less in front of herself.
And although the He family is strong, it is not a person who has to find some opportunities to curry favor with Wei Changying every day. Now that she heard her coming and leaving, Wei Changying wondered what was wrong?
When it was night, Shen Shuguang was put to sleep, and Wei Changying returned to the inner room, so he had the time to ask Zhu Yi about this matter: "I seem to have heard Aunt He come today?" β
"Back to the young lady's words, yes." Zhu Yi untied her bun and said softly, "But I asked Shi Yu at the door, and I knew that the young lady was accompanying the second grandson, so I left again." β
"Do you know what happened when my aunt came?"
Zhu Yi thought for a while and said, "Two days ago, I seemed to hear that Zhu Lei, the apprentice of Jiang Guard, wrote a letter, saying that he would come back from Youzhou in two days, I don't know if it has anything to do with it?" β
"Zhu Lei?" After a few years, Wei Changying still remembered this person, smiled and said, "He is bold, he has been traveling in Youyan for a few years, and he has not come back since frequent civil uprisings before." Does this mean that you want to come back? β
If the He family came over for Zhu Lei, but because she happened to catch up with Wei Changying's mother and son, she could only retreat quietly, then it is not difficult to guess her intention - eight times out of ten. Nine is for Zhu Lei to have a good future and the like.
After all, Zhu Lei was raised by Jiang Zheng as a parent, although he has no name of father and son, he has the fact of father and son. And snobbish, now the daughter born to Jiang Zheng and the He family is still young, and there will be few times to rely on this brother in the future. Therefore, it is reasonable for the He family to run for Zhu Lei's future.
Wei Changying said to Zhu Yi: "Ming'er will go to his grandfather's side to take the school exam, and you go and ask Aunt He to come over." β
But early the next morning, Wei Changying first summoned Shen Ju to him, waved off the rest of the people, and whispered in private: "Let someone inquire about Zhu Lei's experience on Youyan's side in the past few years." β
It's not that she spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but now that it is very timely, everything is based on caution - Wei Xinyong can get a Mo Binwei to pit Lu Haozhi, Zhu Lei is young and a commoner, Youyan, who has had the most violent civil change in recent years, has not returned for a few years, and has only recently come back, do you know if he was taught to be bad and bad, and he came back to the imperial capital with some kind of mission?
