Chapter 117: Seeing Through the Heart
Although Mrs. Song speculated that the righteous daughter of the Deng family who was ordered to be killed by Wei Gaocian would not lead to any unmanageable consequences, but since her son was the prince of the new dynasty, he couldn't just forget it in the end.
So after thinking about it, I decided to send someone to Qingzhou to clean up the aftermath for Wei Gaochan.
At this time, Chen Rubian was very old, and he had a leg disease half a year ago, although he expressed his willingness to go again after knowing this matter and share his worries for Mrs. Song, but Mrs. Song still vetoed it.
"Why don't you let Aunt Huang work hard?" Wei Changying proposed, "Although Fengzhou and Qingzhou are not as far as Fengzhou to the imperial capital, they are also a bit of a road, the grandmothers are old, and Aunt Huang is still in the prime of life." ”
"It's reassuring to do things in Qianxiu." Old Madam Song shook her head and said, "But this is something caused by Gao Chan, she went back to her parents' house to ask for help, of course, it should be her mother's family - Qianxiu has already married you, and it is considered the Shen family, how can you interfere?" Don't drag your husband's family into the water, your husband's family is eye-catching now. ”
Wei Changying smiled and said, "Grandmother, I don't care about this idle matter, but it's no problem to send someone to visit Cousin Song and Cousin Su, right?" He also said, "Su Quan hid the concubine of the new emperor, God knows about this, do Cousin Su and Cousin Song know about this?" ”
Old Madam Song stretched out her finger and scraped the tip of her nose: "Even if you let Qianxiu go to Qingzhou in the name of visiting the child in the water on your behalf, won't our family send someone else?" And said to her, "There are so many people up and down our family, are you afraid that I won't be able to find someone who can run errands?" I recommend you Aunt Huang, I think over the years, your Aunt Huang has called you a lot! ”
The Huang family happened to be there, so he smiled and said: "The eldest lady doesn't dislike the maid and the servant is stupid, that is the blessing of the servant." ”
As he was talking, the people below came to say, "The eldest prince is back." ”
Wei Changying was stunned for a moment before he realized that this great prince was referring to Wen Zhiqi. Originally, when I heard that my son was on the throne, I heard that Qi's son-in-law was now the eldest son, and he was definitely going back to the imperial capital. However, I don't know what Wen Yanzi thinks, so he wrote a letter to him before he brought someone into Beijing, asking him to focus on his studies and continue to study in Ruiyutang - on the day he ascended the throne, he kowtowed a few times in the direction of the imperial capital.
So Wen Zhiqi, who was already packing up his things, had to stay, probably feeling that this situation was very embarrassing, when Wei Changying and his party had not yet arrived in Fengzhou, he found a reason to go around the county under Fengzhou, saying that it was a study tour, and the right to relax.
Now I probably don't want to stay down there anymore, and I come back to Ruiyu Hall.
Hearing that Qi is back now, his identity is not as good as before, and even the old lady Song has to get up and salute him - but he was originally honest in temperament, and he was not proud of being a prince, but after he came in, he gave everyone a salute first, and he was even more frightened when the old lady Song got up.
After sitting down in such a mess, when he heard that Qi saw Wei Changying, his eyes lit up, and he got up again to salute her, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Wei, are you here?" ”
"Come and visit my grandfather, the eldest prince has grown a lot taller." Wei Changying had raised their brothers and sisters for a few days, and at this moment, since Qi was unwilling to serve the prince, she spoke casually, "It's just that I've lost a lot of weight, I think it's because of my hard work." ”
"I'm stupid and stupid, and I'm used to reading with half the effort." Hearing this, Qi smiled shyly, and asked Wei Changying again, who from the Shen family came over this time, and he would go to see him later.
Hearing that there was only one of them in the family of four, hearing that there was a trace of hidden disappointment in Qi's eyes, he exchanged a few words of greeting, and proposed to visit Wei Huan, visit Shen Zangfeng, and find Shen Shuguang to play with Shen Shuxie.
Although his expression changed quickly, he could hide it from Wei Changying and others, but he couldn't hide it from Mrs. Song.
Old Madam Song waited for him to leave, and sighed. tea, let the rest of the people retreat, and asked Wei Changying alone: "I heard that Qi has been raised in Mingpei Hall for a few days, have you seen any female relatives of the Shen family?" ”
"At that time, he was not very old, and his nieces were not people who were willing to be locked in the yard and not go out...... He's seen it all. When Wei Changying heard this, his heart jumped, and he looked at his grandmother, "You mean?" ”
"I saw that he just asked you, how many of you have come to visit your grandfather this time, not really concerned about this, but who are you looking forward to!" Old Madam Song said lightly, "You have to think about this clearly-the new emperor doesn't seem to like this sister-in-law very much, it's no wonder, this one has a good temperament, but if you want to sit in that position, it is not suitable." Moreover, he was fostered in Mingpei Hall first, and then he was taught by Rui Yu Tang, and he had some gratitude to repay him, and it was inevitable that he would go to our Shi clan - for this, the new emperor would not like him! ”
Wei Changying bit her lip and said, "Grandmother, what you said is that there is another one, my eldest niece has married Mo Binwei, you said that if the Shen family has another imperial daughter-in-law, even if it is not the crown princess, how can the new emperor rest assured?" ”
Old Madam Song nodded and said, "It's exactly this reason!" As the saying goes, it's easier for our kind of people to make a big splash...... In my opinion, you have to know who Wen Zhiqi has taken a fancy to, and it is better to hurry up and give that niece a promise. Even if he is young and it is not easy to get out of the cabinet for a while, he will first set his name and let him die of this heart! ”
“…… I just wanted to ask you before, how is this child? Wei Changying sighed and said, "This is going to be said to the fourth niece, called Shu Yan." Even in the early years, before I left the cabinet, you told me that there was a talented girl in the Shen family. ”
Old Madam Song squinted her eyes and said, "Wen Zhiqi also fancies this one?" ”
"Probably right?" Wei Changying pondered for a moment and said, "The righteous daughter I collected in Xiliang has already made a promise. As for the niece, it can't be the eldest niece, it is the eldest son with Mo Binwei. And the remaining two nieces are Shu Yan and Shu Xi, Shu Xi is a little younger, and she is usually raised by her sister-in-law herself...... The brothers and sisters of the Wen family all advocate reading, I think it is Shuyan. ”
Old Madam Song said: "If this is the case, then it is best to take advantage of the fact that the new emperor has not called Wen Zhiqi to him, and give this girl's family affairs!" Otherwise, if I heard that Qi went to ask the new emperor, the new emperor might not be willing to blame his son for living in someone's house, and he actually started the idea of other people's girls, but if you think that you did it on purpose, it won't sound good! ”
"Where would you do something like that?" Wei Changying said angrily, "Let's not talk about the new emperor who only ascended the throne, let's just say that the ancestor of the new emperor, how can we allow girls like us to be like this?" You look at the list of the concubine two days ago, it is said that it is from the splendid Duanmu, but it is a righteous daughter - it was a handmaiden earlier. Otherwise, if the real Duanmu girls are sent to be small, the Duanmu family can't afford to lose this face even if it is a side branch! ”
When Mrs. Song heard the words "Shan Haohao", her eyelids moved, and she said: "These Shan Guifei and the like, I think you should be more attentive when you return to the imperial capital in the future!" This time, the matter of Gao Cicada's husband's family may have something to do with them! Hearing that Qi is not favored by his father, the new emperor is alive with such a concubine, and the queen of Qiu is already old, and it is unlikely that she will be afraid of it in the future. Generally out of the house...... Who can't miss that location? And the new emperor is still in his prime, and God knows how deep this muddy water will be in the future! ”
"That's what Grandmother said." Wei Changying held her sleeve and coquettishly, "Then what do you think of Shu Yan and Shanshi?" ”
"I think this marriage is good, but I don't know if your lobby brother will be willing." Old Madam Song pondered for a while, and said, "Wei Xinyong is a member of our Ruiyu Hall, he has not been in good health over the years, even if the new emperor crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, I'm afraid he may not be able to wait until then." In the future, Rui Yutang will have to get his share of the benefits. It's just that you also know that the relationship between this person and our class is also extremely delicate - now your father's health is well, and Changfeng's status is also stable. Changxu is not confused, and he will not count on the position of the lord. But over the years, the heirs over there have gradually prospered, and ours is not as good as ......"
Now Wei Huan's great-grandchildren, in addition to Wei Changfeng's only son Wei Shanxiu, are the fourth son Wei Gaochuan's sister-in-law Wei Shanxun and concubine Wei Jiaxun, and the seventh son Wei Gaoya has only one daughter, and there is no male heir under his knees.
Among these grandsons, the eldest is Wei Shanxiun, who is only nine years old, not as old as Shen Shuguang.
Compared with Wei Zhengya's lush and green and such as Wei Shanshi, they can already be said to be close - because Wei Changfeng is too young, the old lady Song who has been worried about him for many years will inevitably be afraid that Wei Zhengya's vein will be pressed on her own vein again in the future.
Not to mention Wei Huan's only granddaughter, now she is the head of the Shen family who will definitely be suspicious and guarded against in the future.
Wei Xinyong and Wei Huan are very close in name, but real feelings are not the same thing. There are so many descendants of the Wei family, and the new dynasty wants to give preferential treatment to the Wei family because of Wei Xinyong, so it may not necessarily be Wei Huan, there are many ways to give face on the face and indestructible in private!
And there is Wei Zhengya's former feud, to be honest, Mrs. Song is really a little worried, the new dynasty will raise Wei Zhengya's room to fight for her own room - didn't Wei Huanzong like to hear such news the most in the past? The minds of those in positions of power are always the same.
However, if Wei Shanshi also married the daughter of the Shen family, then the two sides would be even. Even if Shen Shuyan's identity is far less important than Wei Changying in the Shen family, he has also become the son-in-law of the Shen family after all-it is impossible for the new dynasty to only use Wei Shanshi.
So for Mrs. Song, she is very much in favor of Wei Shanshi's family affair with Shen Shuyan - is it beneficial to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren? Now that the old lady said it clearly, she didn't want to hide it from her beloved granddaughter and let Wei Changying think about it herself.
"I'll go back and discuss with my husband......" Wei Changying thought about it, and felt that this lord still let Shen Zangfeng do a good job. Shen Zangfeng will not pit his niece.
