Chapter 6 Horse Racing
…… After leaving Sikong Mansion, when the carriage arrived on the street, Shen Zangfeng said in a low voice: "Grandfather Song is old, although Cousin Song is capable, he is younger than the princes of the court. And if there will be 'chaos' today, it stands to reason that Uncle Song should not refuse medical treatment at this time. ”
Wei Changying 'rubbed' his forehead and nodded: "Isn't it?" My uncle was in charge of the court when he was young, and I often heard my mother praise him for his foresight and far beyond ordinary people, and I really didn't expect him to do this...... What's going on here? Even the eldest cousin couldn't persuade them. ”
Shen Zangfeng groaned: "I have an idea, but it doesn't seem right when I think about it. ”
Wei Changying hurriedly asked, "What?" ”
"This may be a little disrespectful to the elders, let's just say it 'in private', and don't spread it." Shen Zangfeng said and glanced at the 'woman' in the car, Zhu Yi and Zhu Xian hurriedly said: "The servants don't dare to talk too much!" ”
These two are Wei Changying's henchmen, and they can listen to the secrets of leisure, just remind them.
So Shen Zangfeng glanced at them, turned his head and continued to say to his wife: "The Song family has been in love from generation to generation, and Uncle Song is also as affectionate as the sea for his late aunt. It's just that my aunt has passed away for many years, even if my uncle had the will to die back then, but after all these years, it is said that he will not be easily reawakened to the idea of death at this moment; Second, the Song family is now thin and lacks a mainstay, Uncle Song is begging for death at this moment, and if he destroys the Song family, Uncle Song will not be like this as an only son. To say that the cousins and cousins of the Song family are extremely filial people, and the same is true of the two cousins and sisters-in-law today, so I can't guess why Uncle Song did this. ”
When the husband and wife locked their eyebrows and fell into deep thought, in the Sikong Mansion, Song Zaijiang saw off the guests and returned to the back hall, but did not visit his father, but took the little servant back to his residence.
After entering the house, the little servant thoughtfully made him tea.
Song Zaijiang took a sip absentmindedly, put down the teacup, and suddenly asked the little guy: "You say, can they detect the clues?" ”
The little guy looked at him blankly, and after a while, he seemed to come to his senses, ran into the room, and came out with a pot of fruits.
Song Zaijiang waved his hand to make him put it down, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "I forgot that you can't hear it...... But when I left you to listen to it, didn't it just like you couldn't hear and couldn't read? ”
He shook his head, looked at the high sky outside the house, and said to himself, "This cousin of the Wei family is said to be too pampered by her aunt and aunt in the boudoir, so the city is not deep, but the people who aunt and aunt give her to marry are extremely 'smart' and capable. In addition, Yao Ye has always been delicate, and it is impossible for them to sit idly by and watch such an abnormal thing...... Alas! I hope that God will bless them to guess, otherwise how can I speak in that case? ”
When Shen Zangfeng's husband returned to the Taifu Mansion, she wanted to go to the room to meet Mrs. Su first, and of course Mrs. Su had to ask: "How is Sikong?" Is Song Gongzi okay? Now the great Sikong Mansion has to be presided over by the eldest prince alone, and he has to 'serve' Sikong Tang and 'medicine', which is very tiring to think about. ”
Because there were many people serving at this time, the husband and wife did not elaborate on Song Yuwang's unreasonable stubbornness, and only said a few perfunctory words. After asking Shen Shuguang, he was picked up an hour ago, but just now Shen Zangji came over and teased his nephew, knowing that because there were no adults in the third room, Mrs. Su took her grandson over to take care of her, and took her nephew to play in her yard when she left. He greeted Mrs. Su, if Shen Zangfeng's husband and wife came back, just send someone to say it, and he personally sent his nephew back to the third room.
Upon hearing the news, the two quit the 'door'. Shen Zangfeng instructed Shen Ju: "You go to Chuiyun Xiaozhu to pick up Guang'er and come back, it will be late, so you don't have to bother the fifth brother." ”
Despite this, Shen Zangji personally sent Shen Shuguang to Jintong Courtyard with Shen Ju.
The uncle's and nephew's faces were very ruddy, especially Shen Shuguang, whose little face was flushed like a lot of rouge. He was carried all the way into the house by Shen Zangji before putting down the ground, and after a hasty salute, he leaned forward to his mother, and shouted happily: "Mother, mother, the fifth uncle took me on a horse!" The fifth uncle's horse is so fast and high! ”
Wei Changying didn't follow him to ask anything this time, and after reaching out first to 'touch' his collar, it was really wet, and he hurriedly called someone to prepare to serve his son to bathe. Because Shen Zangji, who took Shen Shuguang to ride a horse, was still here, and it was not good to blame his son for sweating and not knowing how to rest, so he smiled and said, "But you pestered your fifth uncle to go?" I'm really ignorant, what if I delay your fifth uncle's business? ”
Shen Zangji hurriedly said when he heard this: "Third sister-in-law, you still don't know me? What am I doing? ”
Before Wei Changying could answer, Shen Zangfeng was displeased and said, "Father only asked you for a few errands two days ago, why did you leave them all to the staff and leave them alone?" ”
“…… Belch. Shen Zangji secretly scolded himself for being careless, and actually forgot that the third brother was also in front of him, it was not the first time that he pushed the opportunity and things that his father and brother gave him to 'show' his face to the staff, and he refused to exercise at all to take advantage of it, and he used all the excuses that he could use before, and he couldn't think of a new reason for a while, and he was afraid that he would be beaten and embarrassed in front of his sister-in-law and nephew, so he asked for a thirty-six plan to go as the best policy - hehe laughed a few times and said goodbye, and without waiting for Shen Zangfeng's permission, this guy pulled out his 'legs' and ran away......
Witnessing this scene, Wei Changying was also quite speechless, and hurriedly led his son to say this and that, so that he didn't pay attention to the appearance of his fifth uncle running away, so as to cover up some elder decency for the younger uncle.
Shen Zangfeng's face was not good-looking, and he instructed Shen Ju, who was waiting for his hand, with a 'yin' face: "Go tomorrow and inquire about the few errands on his side!" ”
As a result, before the next day, Shen Zangji made Shen Zangfeng angry again - probably after dinner, Shen Shuguang was sleepy because he was taken by his uncle to ride a horse. Wei Changying sent him to the couch and told him a story and a half, and when he saw that the eldest son grabbed his arm and fell into a deep sleep, he leaned over and kissed him on the forehead, and carefully pulled out his sleeve...... went outside and told the 'nurse' mother and others to take care of and wait, and returned to the inner room between himself and Shen Zangfeng, the husband and wife had just a few words of affection, and they were about to accomplish a good thing, but the people outside said: "The fifth prince sent someone, and the Tao is that there is something I forgot to ask the third young lady." ”
This sudden interruption made both the husband and wife depressed, and Shen Zangfeng gritted his teeth in a low voice and said: "If this kid doesn't have a proper manager, Ming'er will see how I clean him up!" ”
Then the reason given by the person sent by Shen Zangji was: "The fifth prince will invite a few sons to race horses together tomorrow, because the son of the Duanmu family got a rare wind-chasing horse a few days ago, and the fifth son's current mounts are not as good." I want to borrow the 'Chiyan' of the third young lady, I don't know if it can be or not? ”
“…… I said that you sent Shen Ju to pick up Guang'er, why did the fifth brother still have to make a big move to run in person? Wei Changying shook her head helplessly: It's just a horse for use, or is it the mouth of her brother-in-law, how can she refuse?
But Shen Zangfeng shouted angrily: "Don't borrow!" You go back and tell that kid that if he doesn't go to the ya'men tomorrow to do a good job, continue to be idle with a bunch of idlers and dogs, and be careful about family law! ”
Wei Changying patted the back of his hand, but Shen Zangfeng ignored it, and said in a deep voice through the 'door', "Just go and say that!" ”
The servant didn't dare to say much, but he went.
Shen Zangfeng said to his wife: "The fifth brother is too disagreeable, if it is Chengping, he is the fifth son, and there is nothing to 'wave' and 'swing'. But what time is it? If you continue to let him do this, when the situation is in chaos, he can share things for the family, and I am afraid that he will have to take care of him by someone else! How can this work? ”
Wei Changying said: "I didn't intercede with him and let Ming'er continue to go to horse racing, but you said in front of your subordinates that you wanted to move his family law, and he is now married." Don't think about him, but also think about the faces of the five brothers and sisters! ”
"......" Shen Zangfeng was a little embarrassed when he heard this, he taught his younger brothers that they had formed a habit, Shen Zangji didn't learn well again and again, and Chenguang, who sent people today, was the most unlucky, Shen Zangfeng's heart was on fire, and his tone was heavy. I forgot that although my fifth brother has not yet taken off his frivolous 'sex', he has now married his cousin and passed the 'door', even if he doesn't give his younger brother face, he has to take care of his cousin's face.
He coughed dryly and said, "This kid is not angry, he is so angry that he forgets." Diverting the topic, "You brought 'Chiyan' here?" I thought you'd keep it in Xiliang. ”
"Such a good horse, wouldn't it be wronged to stay in Xiliang and raise empty Chenguang?" Wei Changying saw her husband's intention to change the topic, chuckled, and said, "And you don't know, Yan'er likes it very much!" When my sixth brother and I were in Xiliang before, she asked us to take turns to take her to ride. This little Nizite is ignorant and makes a fuss about poisonous mushrooms, where do I dare to keep 'Chiyan' in Xiliang? In case she hides from her eldest sister one day and rides but something happens, how can I 'communicate' with my second brother and second sister-in-law? ”
He also said, "A horse like 'Chiyan' is also first-class in the world." Now that the situation is going to be 'chaotic', I think that although your mount is good, it may not be as good as it, but I have brought it to you to use. ”
Shen Zangfeng kissed her on the cheek, and said with a smile: "Ying'er said so much, in fact, she still thinks about her husband, and she is really happy to be a husband." ”
The two of them fought for a while, but Shen Zangfeng told her with a smile, "Didn't the fifth brother and the sixth brother compete with the 'woman' of Wugu 'Meng' and Nadi because of horsepower?" And because of the white horse that almost hurt you, the horses we bought in Xiliang were not assured. When my father learned of this, he paid special attention to the horses, and last year it happened that he happened to get a few reliable horses from Donghu. On the divine horse, it is no worse than 'Chiyan', for the husband has been used to riding in the past few months, Ying'er's 'Chiyan' will be left for us to travel in our leisure time. ”
"And traveling?" Wei Changying glanced at him obliquely, and said with a smile, "This is not Xiliang, I'm going to do this, I'm afraid I'm going to cause gossip!" ”
He was curious again, "The Divine Horse BMW is said to be one in ten thousand." How many horses was my father able to 'get' at once? ”
Shen Zangfeng stroked her long hair and said lazily: "Naturally, there is a reason...... In fact, it was evenly distributed by the Liu family. ”
"I see." Wei Changying sighed: There is no grassland in the Central Plains, and he can't breed the best horses, and the real good horses must come from Di and Rong. And on the Di people's side, because of the white horse that almost killed him, the top-notch horses in the Xiliang army were replaced, and the origin was repeatedly traced, lest they be pitted again. Even if the Shen family had that kind of top-notch mount that was unique in ten thousand, they didn't dare to use it at will for the sake of safety. All of a sudden, there was a gap in the good mount.
Fortunately, in addition to the Di realm in the west, the grasslands in the north are also one of the production areas of horses - Donghu is different from Xiliang, the whole territory of Xiliang is the city of the Wei people, and there are only a few towns in the grassland, and they are often caught in war, so good horses can only be bought or robbed from the Di people. A small part of Donghu is grassland, and the Liu family has specially enclosed a piece of land with abundant water and grass to raise horses. The horses selected in this way are no worse than those obtained from other races, and their origins are innocent and assured.
Of course, the Liu family itself also has to resist the Rong people, and the Liu family will definitely not have too many good horses at the level of "Chiyan". But who called Yanzhou was occupied by Lu Haozhi, and the Liu family was eager to capture Yanzhou...... It is estimated that Shen Zangli went to lead the army, and Shen Xuan took the opportunity to knock on this stroke.
