Chapter 512 Chapter 35 Sons and daughters
The saint is on the line, and the new emperor ascends the throne.
But this new thing that changed the dynasty did not bring any joy to Sikong Mansion.
After Song Yuwang learned the news, he became even sicker.
Because the doctor told him not to see the wind, the sickbed was set up behind the heavy curtains. Even though Song Zaitian was filial, he personally wiped his body, changed his underwear every day, and burned light and long spices inside, but after being sick for a long time, Song Yuwang still felt that his body exuded a stale and sour smell.
This kind of rotten stench, emitted with age and illness, is the most precious spice that cannot be dispelled and covered.
His gaze also darkened.
The people who have visited him recently, but when they see his face, they can't bear to say anything like wishing him a speedy recovery, but they just say "be kind and cherish yourself". They all said more things to Song Zaitian, not only that Song Zaitian was more 'spirited' to listen to them, but in fact, they all decided that Song Yuwang couldn't drag on for long, so it was better to comfort Song Zaitian.
The person lying on the couch is actually still in the prime of life, but his breath is as weak as a candle in the wind, and every moment seems to be cut off in the next moment.
But everyone who visited thought that after going back, they would even receive the news of the Song family's funeral on the road, but Song Yuwang dragged it out like this, but it still dragged it down day by day.
There was clearly some insistence in those gloomy eyes, so that he was not willing to let go like this.
For his mood, everyone is very understanding.
For example, Shen Xuan went to visit him after the crying and returned to the Taifu Mansion, and sighed to Mrs. Su: "Even if Huaqing reaches the limit at this moment, I'm afraid it will be difficult to look away." β
Mrs. Su said: "This is natural, the Song family has few brothers, and the grandchildren are both few and young. But now Huoxian is occupied by displaced people, and Song Zaijiang and Song Zaishui brothers and sisters can't go to Beijing. If Huaqing goes, the Song clan of the Jiangnan Song clan will only be supported by Song Zaitian alone in the imperial capital...... According to what you said, he has been very haggard recently, and Mrs. Wei only left last year, if you add another layer of mourning for the loss of her father, where can she hold on? β
"I'm worried about my son'!" Shen Xuan sighed, "Speaking of Huaqing, I am like this, why did I become sick like this?" β
"In the end, he is the first to come out of the scholarly 'door', and he is polite." Mrs. Su sighed, "Besides, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, where can this kind of thing be done at an age?" Do you think how many old men in the DPRK are not old and strong? β
Shen Xuan said: "It's just that he has come to this point, but he still refuses to say why he hates the Duanmu family, it's really strange." β
"I'm afraid of what is difficult to say?" Mrs. Su speculated, "The previous Duan Mu was very rude, maybe he did something extremely disobedient and biased to hinder the identity of the elders and it is inconvenient to say?" β
That's about the most likely.
The husband and wife regretted Song Yuwang for a while, and then talked about going back to their own home. Shen Xuan mentioned that he wanted to send Shen Yun's 'wife' to Xiliang.
This has been discussed before, but now Mrs. Su has other opinions: "Before, you asked Ming'er to go to Xiliang with Wufang, which was nothing more than our family planning to change the day at that time. At that time, although the Xiliang army had already arrived in Gyeonggi, there were many soldiers in the Imperial Forest, and once the incident leaked, or the first emperor did something terrible, I was afraid that our own sect would cause a big disaster if we were not careful. Taking them to Xiliang is not only to sharpen, but also to leave some blood for our sect. β
Otherwise, Shen Shuming lost a few thousand taels of silver in his bet, even if Shen Xuanfu's 'wife' hated him and went to Xiliang at a young age, he would not be so angry that he drove him to Xiliang. After all, the high 'door' is a big family, born with brocade clothes and 'jade' food, and hugs before and out, and there are many people around him, so it is inevitable that he will learn badly.
Now that I have found it, I have learned a lesson, and I will correct it - it is Shen Zangli's generation, and it is not without people who have been infected with the vice of eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling at the age of thirteen or fourteen, this kind of thing Shen Xuanfu 'woman' does not take it very seriously at all, whose children don't grow up and take a few crooked paths?
"But it's a different story now." Mrs. Su said, "The first emperor made a great trip, and the new monarch ascended the throne, which was unexpectedly smooth. In that case, why should they be sent to Xiliang to suffer? Moreover, now there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses left in Gyeonggi, and then we will send people to escort them, we are not at ease if there is less, and we will not have enough manpower - the last time they went to Xiliang tomorrow, it was because the Su family was thinking about Yuyin that they provided a group of people. β
Shen Xuanshen 'groaned' and said: "But I said earlier that Liufang will also go to Xiliang." β
"This time and that time." Mrs. Su persuaded, "The world is uneven, and our children are not so narrow-minded, how can they save a gap for this little thing?" Besides, you also know what happened to the sixth daughter-in-law's mother's house, the child is now in a mess like her mother all day long, and this time the crying spirit is sick again. How can her crooked body withstand a long journey? Their newlyweds, 'women', are it difficult to ask the sixth daughter-in-law to stay in the imperial capital and send Kun'er to Xiliang alone? Kun'er's 'temperament' you don't know, he is not as considerate of his wife as Feng'er, he lingered in the Qinglou before he got married, this time he married a wife, but his wife is not around, how can he not accept people? When the time comes, let the concubine be born in front of the concubine, isn't this adding trouble to the sixth room? β
Shen Xuan thought about it, so he said, "Since that's the case, let's beat Kun'er and let them stay." β
Although Shen Yongkun was called to his parents and reprimanded him fiercely afterwards - but knowing that he didn't have to go to the bitter cold and boring Xiliang, he was still surprised and delighted, and he naturally agreed to all kinds of requests made by his father and mother-in-law, but both Shen Xuanfu's 'wife' and Shen Yongkun himself knew in their hearts that these requests were agreed quickly, but only God knows how much they can really do.
After the news spread to the rooms, Wei Changying also breathed a sigh of relief for Huo Qingling, just like Mrs. Su said, if Shen Xuan insisted on driving the sixth room to Xiliang to sharpen, with Huo Qingling's current physical condition, it would really be a dilemma to follow or not to follow.
She congratulated Huang for a few words, and then continued to read the letter - the letter was sent by her mother's family, and this kind of letter sent under the condition of 'chaos' and the road had to be passed must be something important.
So Wei Changying hoped to read the letter quickly so that she could know the details, but it was obviously difficult for the mother, who was surrounded by two sons, to concentrate on the matter.
Shen Shuguang, who already recognized some words, stretched out his arms and grabbed her wrists, forced the letter down to a place where he could see it when he was standing, and then picked out the words he knew from the letter and read it aloud to invite praise; Shen Shuxie, who was still young, jumped and jumped with his mother's 'legs', Xu saw that his brother's letter was interesting, and he tried to crawl along Wei Changying's 'legs' - Wei Changying hugged him to his lap.
So Shen Shuxie happily bit the letterhead, so anxious that Wei Changying and Huang were busy coaxing him to loosen his mouth......
In the end, it was easy to snatch it out, and it was already wet with his saliva. It's so wet that I don't say anything, and even two words are blurred.
Wei Changying was angry and anxious, so she called the 'nurse' mother: "Take them down first." β
At this moment, Shen Shuguang immediately flattened his mouth, looked at her aggrievedly, and couldn't stop pulling the corners of his clothes.
And Shen Shuxie, who was still young and didn't need to care about any decency, cried out loud very decisively, and wiped his tears and snot unceremoniously on his mother's clothes while crying.
"......" Wei Changying had no choice but to 'hand' the letter to the Huang family, "Auntie, tell me when you finish reading." "Pick up the second son and press the 'sex' son, coax him softly, and occasionally 'touch' the head of the eldest son, and praise him a few words, so as not to make him taste it.
It was easy to coax these two little ancestors to their hearts, and finally showed mercy and was willing to let her go-Huang came up with a solemn expression and told Wei Changying: "There is a bandit with more than 10,000 people near the left side of Fengzhou Prefecture, and they have already seized two counties. β
"What?" Wei Changying was surprised, "Fengzhou is Shangzhou, and it has been smooth in the past few years, how can it be?" β
Huang sighed: "It is said that it is because the scholars occupy too much land and property, and the taxes are heavy, and the current example of the whole country is ......."
Wei Changying was surprised: "Didn't my grandfather and grandmother reduce the rent and tax on the land and property in the clan since the year before last?" "The Wei family is the largest scholar family in Fengzhou, and the family property accounts for six or seven tenths of the state. It stands to reason that since the Wei family has reduced the tax revenue, it is equivalent to the whole state benefiting.
"Most of the clansmen are against the yang and the 'yin'." Huang smiled bitterly, "At that time, the eldest lord's body was not all right, and the valve owner and the old lady were all focused on the eldest lord. Later, the eldest man recovered, but the situation was 'chaotic' again. Not long after, the owner of the valve was injured again...... By the time they were discovered, the bandits had become the climate. β
Wei Changying was silent for a moment and said, "Then what are you going to do at home now?" β
"The old lady temporarily 'handed over' the 'private' soldiers to Mo Binwei, but recaptured a county, which greatly deterred those bandits. But there was no one in the recaptured county, and as soon as Mo Binwei retreated, he was occupied again. β
"How can there be no one in the clan to use it to this extent?" Wei Changying couldn't help but be stunned, she thought for a moment and said, "What about Brother Wei Qing?" β
Huang said: "The old lady said that not only are there no generals available, but there are not enough troops. Now this world does not know how long it will be 'chaotic', so we must be cautious not to wear out excessive troops. After all, the state city is the most important. "Rui Yutang, old and young, are all in Fengzhou City!
Wei Changying frowned tightly, and couldn't help muttering, "What should I do about this?" β
"The old lady said, our family has a lot of grain, and there are many wells in Ruiyu Hall, and now there is Mo Bin Wei, so it should be no problem to defend the state city alone." Huang said, "The old lady didn't write to ask for help, but to reassure your mother's family - although Fengzhou is also a big 'chaos', as long as the old lady is there, you don't have to 'worry'!" β
After a pause, Huang said again, "The old lady is very happy when she heard that you have two grandchildren, but unfortunately the road is blocked, and the gift of the fourth grandson cannot be sent for the time being." However, when I heard that you and your son are good, the old lady will be relieved. β
Wei Changying understood what her grandmother meantβMrs. Song sent this letter all the way, completely because she was afraid that after hearing that Fengzhou was not quiet, she would pestering her husband or father-in-law to send troops to rescue her, so that she had a dispute with her husband's family, which affected the harmony between her husband and her husband's family.
She felt sour in her heart and said, "When is it, my grandmother still has to 'worry' about me like this." β
"Busy with your own flesh and bones, listening to tired, it's actually a blessing, young lady, aren't you the most experienced now?" Huang said with a slight smile, and looked out of the 'door' - Shen Shuguang, who had just been taken down, was pulling his younger brother and shouting, running around and running on the porch, so noisy that people were almost inaudible when talking on the other side, but the two children were very happy.
Wei Changying was greatly saddened by these words, and said with a wry smile: "I really hope that my husband can come back as soon as possible, and I also ask him to see these two treasures." β
When Shen Zangfeng led the troops to Yanzhou last year, Shen Shuxie was only a full week, and he could barely walk a few steps and occasionally say a few words, which was far less stable than now. But now this time the son is three years old, and he is actually one and a half years old, and with Shen Shuguang, the naughty brother, the two children have no quiet time as long as they are awake.
made Wei Changying have a headache, and began to miss the situation when her husband was there, and only one look calmed the eldest son.
