Two days later, Su Ruoqian's family of three left the imperial capital on the grounds of returning to their hometowns to keep filial piety for their grandfather, grandmother, and second uncle.

Kang Guogong Su Xiuming ordered the elite soldiers to escort all the way.

When Su Ruoqian and his party left Beijing, Wei Changfeng did not go to see them off because he was not familiar with them, but he was in the city and rode into a ruined mansion.

After the war, the imperial capital Zhonghua Mansion turned into scorched earth abounds.

The decaying painting building, the exquisite carved beams, the twists and turns of the deep flower path, and the magnificent main hall...... The remaining ruins can still outline the prosperity of the past; The residual burnt smell reminds of the decay of the moment.

Although the place has been cleaned up, and there are still traces of the worship on the ground, there are still many miscellaneous items that have not been removed to this day. Wei Changfeng had to get out of the carriage in front of a stone step, straighten his robes slightly, and move forward on foot.

The two guards followed two steps behind, and although they were in the safety of the city and on the ruins with a wide line of sight, they still pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords and looked in all directions.

Wei Changfeng's henchman Wei Wan carried a bamboo basket covered with linen, and carefully followed behind Wei Changfeng, reminding a few words from time to time: "Childe pay attention to your feet, there are many clutter here." ”

Fortunately, Wei Changfeng is not the first time to come, although it is impossible to remember the location of the messy things on the entire ruins, but one foot deep and one foot shallow, in the end, there is no danger to a clearing.

Judging by the ruins in this vicinity, this should be a small garden. At the beginning, the grass and trees were burned, and the soil still had a charred black color. But after being soothed by the winter snow, the soil is rejuvenated. In the dark soil, the tender blades of grass are waving in the wind, growing and swaying without worry, like innocent and innocent children.

Wei Changfeng thought of his little nephew for a moment-Shen Shuxie, who is still an ignorant naughty boy-although his ignorance and stubbornness will also make people angry, but in the heavy bad news, such ignorant and fearless innocence is the only sharp blade that can pierce the thick haze.

When Wei Wan was full of thoughts, he had silently spread a thick brocade felt on the flattest place on the ground, and then spread a bamboo mat on the brocade felt, and put the wine and food he brought on the bamboo mat, and then walked to Wei Changfeng and invited him to the table.

After sitting down cross-legged on the table, Wei Changfeng poured a glass of wine first, but did not drink it, but slowly drank in the mud outside the brocade felt.

Wei Wan and the others had long been accustomed to his behavior here, and they all knew that he must not be in a very good mood now, so they were all silent.

And Wei Changfeng drank and drank until a small pot of wine was exhausted, and turned his eyes to look at the basket - Wei Wan hurriedly explained: "Childe is not suitable for drinking now, so he brought this pot of sacrificial wine." ”

It is not good to drink alcohol during the period of filial piety.

So when Wei Wan put the wine in the basket, he said that this pot of wine is not for drinking, but for sacrificing to the deceased.

Wei Changfeng cut off half of it and drank it by himself, and his henchmen saw it, and if he didn't go out to say it, no one would know. But if you drink too much and go back with the smell of alcohol and let people find out, you will be in trouble.

Wei Wan, as a scholar personally selected by Wei Huan for his beloved grandson, naturally had to be thoughtful for the master and avoid these mistakes.

And although Wei Changfeng is more casual, he is not a person who does not listen to persuasion. After being reminded by Wei Wan, he didn't say anything, nodded, shook his sleeves and got up, and walked around for a few steps. It is estimated that Wei Wan packed up, so he came back, went out from the original road together, and returned to the carriage.

"Childe, are you going to the Dingguo Mansion, or are you going back to the lakeside courtyard?" Although Wei Wan asked, she followed up and said, "Childe hasn't been back to the lakeside courtyard for five days, I want to come to the eldest lady to worry, and Shen Ergongzi's homework is ......."

Sure enough, before he finished speaking, Wei Changfeng ordered: "Go to the Shen family's courtyard by the lake." ”

When he arrived in the other courtyard, Wei Changying happened to be busy with things, and he had time to call his younger brother to talk together, because he saw that Wei Changfeng was not in high spirits, he waved back and asked with concern: "Why do you seem to dislike it?" But who gave you the grievances? Isn't it your brother-in-law? ”

These words made Wei Changfeng laugh: "It's okay to guess that others have wronged me, how can I guess my brother-in-law?" I see my brother-in-law as having an excellent temperament, and he almost never gets angry...... Anyway, compared to the eldest sister, your brother-in-law is extremely gentle. ”

"Yo, you can still laugh, it doesn't seem to be very upset!" When Wei Changying heard this, he showed a smile that was not a smile, so everyone was sent away, and he didn't have to hold the shelf of the master mother, just like when he was not out of the cabinet, he stretched out his finger and tapped his brother's forehead hard, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Wei Changfeng showed a helpless look: "It's nothing, walking around in the imperial capital, it's not very cool to see the prosperous land in the world recorded in the book and now withering." ”

"Nonsense! You've been in the imperial capital for the past few days, haven't you seen the ruins after being burned? If you walk around like this, you can be unhappy, why didn't you feel unhappy when you came back two days ago? Don't say you didn't see a house that was plagued by war along the way! When Wei Changying heard this, he snorted without even thinking about it, "You really don't tell the truth, do you?" Think you won't be able to beat you when you're a sister? ”

"Eldest sister, you dare to beat your husband, let alone my younger brother?" Wei Changfeng shook his head with a smile and said with emotion, "It's thanks to my brother-in-law's good temperament, otherwise, the family will have to break their hearts with you!" ”

He also said, "After so many years, my eldest sister still loves to beat people so much......"

Wei Changying knocked him with a fan, frowned, and said, "Don't divert the conversation!" ”

This sister's nonsense and trustworthiness of beating will be beaten, Wei Changfeng has been taught since he was a child. So at this moment, she was holding her tightly, although she was reluctant, but she still reluctantly replied: "I went to the backyard of the Lingxian Eldest Princess's Mansion to pay tribute to the Su family." So the mood is not good. ”

"Spirit Immortal Eldest Princess Mansion?" Wei Changying was stunned.

Before Wei Changfeng suddenly came to Gyeonggi, after the initial hasty talk, it was decided that Wei Changfeng would teach Shen Shuguang, so that Wei Changying let go of his worries about how his son's studies would continue.

And then the sister and brother talked about each other in their spare time, Wei Changying was the same brother who said that this fiancée who had never met him until he died.

It is said that Su Nianchu is also a bitter fate.

It's okay that she wasn't selected for the Su family's breakout, looking at the nobles in the imperial capital, the only female relative who was taken by her father and brother on the first day of the first lunar month this year was probably Gu Rouzhang.

Others, either like Deng Wanwan, had a cousin or elder brother who was reluctant to turn around and answer alone; Either it is like Duanmu Xinmiao, who has a skill, and the family is reluctant to give up.

However, because the eldest princess of Lingxian Mansion was not favored back then, the construction of the entire mansion was completed hastily, so that after the Lingxian princess descended, before the full moon, she had to secretly send someone to find a craftsman to repair the roof - such an eldest princess mansion, how can you expect to have such an exquisite labyrinth secret passage to hide?

Of course, there is such a place in the Su family, but even Mrs. Deng took the lead in letting out and save the capable servants for the sake of their children and grandchildren, where is there still Su Nianchu's position?

So she can only die.

No matter how much the eldest princess of Lingxian was not liked by Emperor Huanzong, and no matter how much this dislike affected Su Nianchu. But no one can deny that Su Nianchu is not only the daughter of the Su family in Qingzhou, but also the bloodline of the Great Wei royal family, the biological granddaughter of Emperor Huanzong, and the niece of Emperor Xuan!

With her identity, no matter whether she is afraid or not, no matter how afraid she is in her heart, in the eyes of everyone, she must rather be broken than destroyed.

Besides, Su Nianchu himself may not be able to endure being humiliated at the hands of a group of barbarians......

When Yuzhu Town greeted the surviving female dependents in the imperial capital, Wei Changying didn't see this prospective brother and daughter-in-law, and thought that the secret room of the Lingxian Eldest Princess's Mansion was too hidden, and no one was found in the first search and rescue.

Because she was her brother's quasi-fiancée, she later sent someone to tell Shen Zangfeng to look carefully. I didn't want to go through some twists and turns, but I learned from a servant who barely survived in the eldest princess's mansion that Su Nianchu dropped the pair of mandarin duck bracelets she gave and killed herself. Moreover, the Mansion of the Immortal Eldest Princess was looted and burned several times, and even the corpse did not know where it went.

At that time, Wei Changying was worried about the body of his second son, and secondly, he wanted to appease Shen Zangning and others, so it can be said that he was very busy. After knowing this, he cried a lot, sent his wife to rummage through the ruins of the Lingxian Eldest Princess's Mansion to find something, and set up a mound in the village outside the city in the name of the Wei family.

Since Su Nianchu only had to greet the official daughter-in-law of the Wei family in person, it was reasonable for the Wei family to collect the funeral for her - at that time, the Su family only had Su Xiuming, Su Xiuwei, and Su Yuwu in the Su family, and the Deng family and Song Zaishui had not yet arrived, and Su Xiuming and others were sad that their parents were too late, and the funeral of the cousin's family, who usually did not come and go in person, was only done in passing. Wei Changying took over Su Nianchu's funeral, and they were also happy to save trouble.

After setting up a well-dressed mound, Wei Changying had a lot of things in his hands, and this matter was like this.

It was Wei Changfeng's sudden arrival that reminded Wei Changying of this unfortunate brother-in-law.

On the third day after Wei Changfeng arrived at the Shen family's courtyard by the lake, Wei Changying accompanied his younger brother to the mound to pay respects.

Later, Wei Changfeng went to the ruins of the Lingxian Eldest Princess's Mansion alone to worship twice - the first time he went, the second time, Wei Changying learned from the Shen family coachman who sent him, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, Wei Changfeng made a marriage with Su Nianchu a few years ago, and he thought that he had always regarded Su Nianchu as his wife. Wei Changying also portrayed Su Nianchu as talented and beautiful, with a lovely temperament, such a young girl who was martyred with hatred because of the fall of the imperial capital, even if it is not the relationship between fiancés, people who hear it will sigh for it.

But I heard that Wei Changfeng went for the third time, and after coming back, he was still in such a low mood, Wei Changying inevitably had to worry that his younger brother was too obsessed with this fiancée who had never met - it was not that she couldn't see her brother's deep affection for her brother-in-law, but even if she hadn't seen her great-grandfather Song Tan, she had also seen her uncle Song Yuwang.

Song Tan was too obsessed with his deceased wife, and the Lan family, who looked for a deceased wife, also gave birth to only one daughter, so he didn't leave an heir? Song Yuwang, if it weren't for Wei Chanying's two sons, the biological bloodline of Jiangnan Hall Sect would probably end with him.

Wei Changying doesn't want Wei Changfeng to learn these two elders!

She quickly thought about the wording, and was about to test how obsessed her brother was with Su Nianchu, but she didn't want Wei Changfeng to speak first: "I just thought about what you said back then, eldest sister, and I was quite emotional." Coupled with the events of these days, I feel more and more that some of my thoughts over the years have been very wrong...... That's why I often go there, and it's also a reminder to myself not to do it again. ”

Wei Changying was surprised: "What did I say back then? ”
