2 Chapter 2 The Family Moves South

When I went back to the room, I didn't sleep all night, and as soon as the morning dawned, I was called by the maid to say goodbye to Mrs. Wei. When they arrived at the main hall, it was already full of people, Mrs. Wei and her father sat at the top, and there were several old men sitting on each side, which seemed to be several heads of the Wei family.

Looking up a little farther away, I saw Wei Jue standing behind Mrs. Wei in plain clothes, with a faint sadness between his eyebrows, thinking that he was really good at acting, and I don't know where this sorrow came from? Seeing that there was a man standing next to him, his appearance was somewhat similar to him, but he was a few years older, this man should be Wei Jue's brother, Wei Qi, a free horseman.

Just thinking about it, the maid introduced me into the hall, according to my father's previous instructions, softly asked Mrs. Wei and the elders one by one, and slowly walked behind my father in the eyes of everyone approvingly, but did not forget to make a grimace to my father.

"What a watery girl, there is a woman like this, General Zhengnan is really blessed!" Old Madam Wei looked at her father with a smile.

My father stroked his long beard, glanced at me, and replied: "I don't deserve such praise from the old lady, the two families of Weishan have been friends for several generations, if the lady likes this girl, then according to the agreement last night, let this girl stay in the house, so that she can serve you for a few days." ”

"Yes, of course I do!" Mrs. Wei was already smiling from ear to ear: "I am a million likes, I can't help but want to get Long Wangshu, not only because I want her to stay in the house, but also because I want to be the master of my uncle's treasure, and I drank her cup of daughter-in-law tea." ”

What the? I was like falling into the clouds, and I couldn't figure out the east, east, west, and west. What did my father and Mrs. Wei discuss? Why should I stay in this boring place? If I want to speak like this every day, with small steps, and not suffocate me to death?

But my father didn't wait for me to object, and laughed: "Uncle Bao is a famous person in the world, the wind god is beautiful, the talent is unparalleled, and it is a great blessing to dance to get this good match, the old man has long had this intention, and now he is coincidental with his wife, how is this marriage decided?" ”

A few words to set my life's events? Isn't it child's play? I hurriedly pulled my father's shirt, but I didn't want him to turn a blind eye at all, and still talked and laughed with Mrs. Wei, and I couldn't wait to marry me today.

Helpless, I can't have a seizure, I can only go to see Wei Jue, that handsome face has no sadness at this time, indifferent without any expression, after eye contact, I saw him walk up to Mrs. Wei, and saluted the two elders: "Mother, Uncle Shan, since ancient times, marriage is the order of parents, the words of the matchmaker." Sister Wuxi is a peerless beauty, and I am very happy in my heart, but Le'er is newly mourned, can this matter be discussed in the long run? ”

When the father saw Wei Jue say this, he immediately said: "Uncle Bao is really the most affectionate and sexual person, the old man and your mother only made a marriage contract, as for when to get married, you will wait for the mourning period for the Lejia girl to decide." But Wuxi wants to stay in the Wei family for a while, and if she makes any mistakes, I hope you will take care of her. ”

"That's nature, it's all up to my mother and uncle!" Wei Jue said coldly, I was angry when I saw him so much, what's the big deal, I didn't think about marrying him, since I didn't get married today, I won't say anything to him anymore.

While everyone's attention was on Wei Jue, I quietly whispered in my father's ear: "Dad, why do I want to stay in the Wei family, I want to go back to Xiangyang!" ”

My father didn't ignore me this time, but said loudly: "The Hu people are going south, Xiangyang is the first to bear the brunt, and I don't know when the war will subside together, how can my father delay your lifelong events?" This Wei family is the Hedong Wang family, since the Empress of Han Wei to today, it has been hundreds of years, and the Wei family has been sheltered, and the father can fight with peace of mind. ”

"Daddy, I don't want ......"

"If you don't want to, the father will take you back, don't say you want to go back to war, this matter is not negotiable!"

I saw that my father's tone was resolute, and it was really difficult to speak in front of everyone, so I could only be secretly angry.

Wei Jue suddenly spoke at this time: "Uncle Shan's words, all the elders have also heard it, and inviting you here today is also for the rise and fall of the Wei family." The Hu people are brutal, the blood flows like a river everywhere they pass, although the east of the river has not fallen, but the Hu people are fast, they can gallop a hundred miles in one day, and no one knows whether the soldiers will come to the city tomorrow. ”

Speaking of this, his gaze had quietly fallen on my face, and there was a trace of worry in his handsome eyes, and he continued: "What I want to say is that the Wei family must move south to take refuge in order to avoid disasters. ”

"But the Wei family has been in Hedong for hundreds of years, and there are no less than 100 households in the direct family, plus the maid and village households, not to mention thousands of people, if so many people follow you and leave their hometown, I am afraid it will cause riots." An elder stood up and objected.

Wei Jue immediately retracted his gaze at me and looked directly at the elder: "This matter is indeed difficult to do, but the tragedy of the Yuan family in Yecheng is right in front of you, and it is also a centuries-old wang clan, who thinks that they can protect themselves safely under the iron hooves of the Hu people, but in the end, all the 1,364 men of the Yuan family fell under the saber, and all the women and children were taken away. ”

His words touched me a lot, how can people enjoy the status quo in troubled times.

The old man was naturally speechless, and another person got up again and continued: "There are thousands of people in the Wei family, where can Shu Bao think about it?" Could it be that the Wei family's huge fields and manors were so easily abandoned? With so many mouths, is it impossible to beg for food? ”

"Last night, there was a messenger from Jiangnan, Shubao was unwilling to answer the call to fight, so the emperor sealed Shubao as the Taifu Xige sacrificial wine, and gave Wu land thousands of acres of fertile land and a number of beautiful houses in the village, which was enough for the Wei family to settle down. As long as you agree, Shubao will go south to take up his post, and we will accompany him, which is justifiable, where will it cause a riot? At this time, Mrs. Wei said slowly.

It turns out that this matter has been settled a long time ago, and the eunuch who was weird last night was really interesting, and the emperor was also generous in order to appease the Wei family.

"Since the old lady said so, I have no objection!" The man had nothing to say but sat down.

But the eldest prince Wei Qi walked up to Mrs. Wei and saluted: "Mother, Shubao said that he wanted to move south, and I have no objection. It is true that the Hu people are cruel, but it is normal for everyone to be reluctant to leave their homes and businesses! As he spoke, he glanced at Wei Jue: "I am a loose horseman, the prince of Jiangxia, there are 8,500 households in Jiangxia, and Uncle Bao can take the people to avoid Jiangxia, and that place can make everyone safe!" ”

"Jiangxia is close to Xiangyang, and the old man's army is stationed here, so he can defend his family!" His father agreed with Wei Qi's idea.

Seeing this, Wei Qi thanked his father, and then said to everyone: "The Wei family's hundreds of years of business cannot be easily abandoned, I think, let me stay in Hedong, if there are clansmen who are unwilling to leave, they can also protect the ancestral industry with me." ”

"How's that going to work? Zhong Bao must not take risks, he must put his life first! Mrs. Wei objected.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, everyone was silent, and I hurriedly walked up: "Mrs. Wei, the two sons are reasonable, just according to what the eldest prince said, those who are willing to stay can move south with us and make a decision in Jiangxia." ”

Old Madam Wei looked at me, there seemed to be affirmation in her eyes, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Then it's decided!" ”

"Yes, Mother!" Wei Jue answered, turned around and walked towards me: "You also go and prepare, we will leave in three days!" ”

What do I have to prepare, just give me a fast horse! ”

"Dance, don't be rude, you have to listen to your husband in everything in the future!"

The father reprimanded again, and he had to listen to his husband for everything? How is this possible? I haven't even agreed to marry him, and who will listen to him in the future is not certain!

But today's matter has been decided, and all the elders have their own plans, and they all got up and left.

My father was in military affairs, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I got up and said goodbye immediately, I thought that the Wei family was going south to Jiangxia, which was not far from Xiangyang, and it only took half a day to arrive by boat. My father privately told me not to do anything and so on, and then I got in the car and left.

Three days later, the Wei family's move to the south was ready, and more than 800 people followed Wei Jue to Jiangxia, and the convoy stretched for several miles.

Wei Qi and the old lady resigned, both of them wept, I was not happy in my heart, so I persuaded the old lady to get into the car, and naturally I couldn't ride a horse with her, and Wei Qi sent more than ten miles before stopping the horse and seeing us go south.

After walking like this for two days, it was dark again.

"Oh no, a horse riding a Hu man is a few miles behind the convoy, and it won't be long before it catches up!" The voice of a house slave came from outside the carriage.

Mrs. Wei was already asleep, but she was suddenly awakened by these words, and hurriedly said to me, "Quick... Go and call Uncle Baolai! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Jue's voice sounded: "Mother, don't panic, Shubao has made arrangements!" ”

"It's impossible to escape the fast horse of the Hu people now, and now we can only face it!" As I spoke, I stretched out my hand and lifted the curtain, and saw Wei Jue sitting on a tall horse, dressed in white like snow, which made people lose their minds.

"You can't escape, I will take hundreds of slaves to break up, and I will fight for you time to escape, remember to protect yourself!" After Wei Jue finished speaking, he kicked the horse's belly with both legs, bringing smoke and dust billowing out.

"Hey, wait for me......" I hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, wanting to chase, but suddenly stunned in place, the dense place of smoke and dust, faintly cavalry brandished sabers towards our convoy, there were no less than a thousand people in the shadow of the sword, the sound of "rumbling" hooves covered all the noise, the earth seemed to tremble, only the hundreds of slaves under Wei Jue could not stop the Hu cavalry who could fight well.

"Hurry up, leave me alone, and don't stop no matter what happens!" I yelled at the groom, and he immediately whipped it, and the carriage ran again.
