Chapter 50: Wild Water Chestnut

Two days before Shen Shujing left the pavilion, the matter of Diecui Pass, which had been confronted for several months, finally came to an end, and Shen Zangfeng discussed with the Rong people all the places that needed him to be the master, leaving Shen Yongshi and Shen Yongkun to deal with the aftermath, and galloped fast for two days, which was worthy of returning to Xiliang in the middle of the night the day before Shen Shujing left the pavilion.

The reason why he was in such a hurry to come back was not all for Shen Shujing, but for the incident that Liu Rong said about Moye.

In fact, according to the importance of this matter, Shen Zangfeng should have come back to deal with it immediately after receiving the news.

But considering that the incident happened in the imperial capital, it was useless for him to go back to Xiliang City, but he seemed anxious. Therefore, Shen Zangfeng simply didn't care about this at all, and he didn't have any intention of being weak, until he finished dealing with the matter of Diecuiguan, and then rushed back with his niece out of the cabinet under the pretext of going out.

In this way, he had only a little time left to discuss with Liu Rong on the wedding banquet.

However, this also has the advantage that both sides don't have to talk nonsense, and it's all straight to the point.

…… Because Shen Zangli and his wife had passed away, Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying replaced their parents and were greeted by Shen Shujing. The etiquette of the famous family is grand, and even if Wei Changying drank tea a few times on this day, he was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes.

After the dinner was over, she reluctantly bathed in the service of the maid, fell down on the couch, and fell asleep without two breaths.

It wasn't until she woke up at dawn that she found Shen Zangfeng stretching out his arm for her to pillow, his sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he was sleeping deeply.

Seeing that he had lost a lot of contours, as well as the short hair under his chin that he deliberately wore to show his age, Wei Changying's heart ached, he reached out and touched his eyebrows, leaned his head into his arms, and fell asleep again.

Because of Shen Shujing's exit from the cabinet, Ming Peitang was very tired. The people knew that the master was extremely tired, so they did not come in this day to disturb them, and let them sleep until three poles in the morning.

This time, Shen Zangfeng woke up first, and when he carefully pulled his arm out from his wife's cheek, Wei Changying also woke up, so they got up together.

"What's going on in the desert?" Seeing that the two of them hadn't noticed that they were up, Wei Changying casually put on his outer robe, helped Shen Zangfeng put it on first, and asked softly.

Shen Zangfeng tied his clothes and belt, and said lightly: "In short, I don't admit it." ”

"Wen Yanzi is determined to seize this opportunity to discredit our family." Wei Changying sighed - the whole Shen family is now in Xiliang, far away from the Central Plains, just with the little manpower scattered over there to listen to the news, where can the rumors be refuted? Besides, this matter is really not a rumor, there are people who are Rong people, and there is ironclad evidence that Shen Shuming quietly left the imperial capital and fell into a trap.

Even if Shen Zangfeng appears in the Central Plains now, it is difficult to explain.

"What does Wen Lingzi have to do with our family?" Shen Zangfeng said indifferently, "The affairs of our family, our own people are not very clear, based on the children of the Shen family he identified, can they be regarded as the children of our family?" ”

"It's really strange to say, Mo Ye wasn't ...... by his father at the beginning How could he go to Beirong with his son and marry the Great Khan of Rongda? Wei Changying frowned slightly and said.

Shen Zangfeng stretched out his arms and asked her to put on a robe for herself: "I don't know very well, Xu is Mo Ye is not like the Wei people, and the people sent by my father admit that they are wrong." ”

"Didn't my father keep someone by his side?"

"It must have gone wrong, but in short, people are still alive, but it's a trouble." Shen Zangfeng sighed, changed the topic and said, "You have worked hard these days, now that Jing'er has been out of the pavilion, there is nothing to be busy with in the backyard in the future, you should take a good rest." ”

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Before sending troops to the Central Plains, you need to raise some grain and grass first, and there are still some days, I will accompany you around." ”

Wei Changying's heart was sweet, and he said angrily: "How can you say that there is no big deal in the backyard? Did you forget? Not to mention when the five younger siblings and two little nephews who are far away in Guanzhou will come back. Let's talk about the six brothers and sisters, and the delivery period is only two or three months. And it's not as convenient for us to walk around now as it was back then, even if Guang'er is sensible, Xie'er will definitely make trouble. They are still in Diecui Pass, but you said that the second brother and the sixth brother will come back with them after cleaning up, and we will be able to get out by then? ”

"Xie'er......" Shen Zangfeng lowered his head, avoiding her gaze, and said, "I plan to ......"

Wei Changying was leaning over to sort out the palace silk spikes under the jade pendant for him, and asked casually: "What are you going to do with Xie'er?" That kid doesn't care about anything, he can't beat him, he scolds and turns a deaf ear, let him make trouble, it's too bad to hurt his body, alas! Let's just follow him. ”

“…… It's nothing. Shen Zangfeng paused for a moment, and then said casually, "I told someone to fish some wild water chestnuts yesterday, I remember that you used to love to eat this, but Xiliang is here, I'm afraid it is not as sweet and delicious as the water and soil in Fengzhou." ”

Wei Changying was surprised: "I like to eat wild water chestnut? "She hadn't eaten anything in years!

"When I went to Fengzhou to pick up my relatives before, we hid behind the locust tree, and I listened to the maid who went to find you." Shen Zangfeng chuckled, "Xu was that you were frightened at the time, so you didn't pay attention. ”

Wei Changying suddenly smiled and said, "Yo, do you remember what you said so long ago?" ”

"That was the first time we'd been together in private, how could we not remember?" Shen Zangfeng said with some amazement, "Unconsciously, all these years have passed." ”

Wei Changying pursed her lips and chuckled: "At that time, the two little maids in my yard were greedy for fun, and they always liked to go to the garden to play in the water. I was afraid that Aunt He would scold them, so when I went back, I would take the water chestnut with me, and I would also use it as a disguise. Once I met them, I asked them to peel a bowl, and I ate some that summer. ”

He smiled and said, "So, on the day I passed the door, you specially asked someone to prepare the acacia cake?" Why didn't you prepare wild water chestnuts? ”

"Mother said that the acacia cake is okay, and the wild water chestnut is not a decent food, and it is still exempt on the occasion of the wedding." Shen Zangfeng put on the golden crown himself, stretched out his hand to smooth the sideburns scattered in front of her behind her ears, and said, "I've always wanted to get it for you later, but I forgot about this and that kind of thing until now." ”

Wei Changying tied it twice before he finished tying his belt, looked up at him, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared, and said, "I suddenly remembered it today...... What happened to Guang'er and Xie'er? They're not in Diecui Pass? Where are they? Don't tell me, you learned from Wen and exchanged the two of them for Shen Shuming! ”

Shen Zangfeng froze for a moment, his face changed suddenly, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Wei Changying's hands and feet were cold all of a sudden, and he lost his voice and said, "You...... Do you really take them...... Swap them for Shen Shuming?! ”

“…… I just want to take Xie'er. Shen Zangfeng didn't dare to look her eyes, and explained softly, "I was afraid that you would be suspicious, so I took Guang'er with me." I ......"

"I'll fight with you!" Wei Changying only felt that the blood in his whole body suddenly rushed to his brain!

She screamed, rushed up and grabbed Shen Zangfeng's clothes, and said with red eyes, "You weren't around when I was pregnant with Guang'er, and you were thousands of miles away when I gave birth to him!" He didn't see you for the first time until he was three years old, and he was trained by you when he was only five years old...... At the age of six, he encountered a great change in life and death, how did he study diligently in the past two years, and how did he follow our ...... Xie'er was also picked up by you for the first time in the next year...... He was only four years old when he was buried alive - we are just two children, even if they occasionally have stubbornness, but which one of them does not really love and attach to us? You actually exchanged them for Shen Shuming's stupid bastard thing! You have to do a good job of what your uncle does not exchange for yourself! ”

Shen Shuming was self-righteous, he caused so much trouble to the Shen family this time. Although Wei Changying was not happy in his heart, he had at most muttered to the Huang family and the He family in private, that is, he was a little resentful, and he couldn't talk about hatred.

But now that I heard that Shen Zangfeng was actually like Wen Yanzi, who had just been scolded viciously by her in private, he exchanged his own son for this nephew, and Wei Changying had the heart to strangle Shen Shuming alive!

The noble lady's carefully maintained long armor deeply pinched Shen Zangfeng's chest through the thin summer clothes, and the blood immediately stained the stone blue brocade robe on his chest mottled!

Her poignant voice alarmed the subordinates outside, and several people hugged in and were scolded by the couple at the same time-Wei Changying said in a trembling voice: "I know that you have a lot of ambitions, and I also know that it is impossible to get it in this world by relying on the light wind and the moon!" I don't care if you do anything else! With how many things you have done that have left a stink for thousands of years, I am willing to bear it with you! I am willing to bear with you as many sins as you do...... But this is the only one that can't! You just hand me over, and I don't hate you! But you can't touch our children! That's not your child alone! Why should you be such a master alone! ”

The nails with Shen Zangfeng's blood wandered, although it was said that it was several years ago to kill people with his own hands, but the memories that existed in the body after hard training since childhood still made Wei Changying accurately put it on a dead hole, and she screamed: "Give Shen Shuming back to them!" Get back my Xie'er! Otherwise, you won't live! ”

Seeing that Shen Zangfeng was silent, Wei Changying smiled miserably and said, "You think I don't dare?" Think I'm reluctant? Can you afford to gamble? What are you giving up your own son to come back for a bastard nephew who is not angry? Isn't it because he was afraid that the old people left behind by Shen Zangli would be dissatisfied? Afraid of Xiliang so people's hearts are fluctuating? But as long as you're still there, no matter how popular Xiliang is, it's just floating. As soon as you die...... Who else in this sect can afford this scene?! You dare to bet?! Don't forget that Guang'er and Xie'er were both conceived and born in October, and I'd rather be crushed than let anyone touch them - you are no exception! ”

was silent until this moment, and Shen Zangfeng said in a low voice: "It was just a pretext that I took Guang'er and Xie'er to Diecui Pass together, so that the Rong people would believe that it was indeed Xie'er that I handed them over...... As a matter of fact...... What was handed over to them was only a stand-in found by Eleven, after all, Xie'er is still young now, and since he came to Xiliang, he has been staying in Mingpeitang, and basically no one knows him outside, so he knows that he is a handsome boy and has a rather naughty temperament. ”

Wei Changying was stunned for a moment, grabbed his shirt tightly, and said, "You didn't lie to me?" ”

"Nope." Shen Zangfeng looked at her eyes, his eyes were dark, and he said in a dumb voice, "I was worried about being recognized by the Rong people, so I decided not to use a stand-in, but...... Later, I was really reluctant to take this risk. Fortunately, after some temptation, the Rong people still handed Shu Ming back. ”

“…… And what are you? Wei Changying looked at him with a slightly sad gaze, but still asked suspiciously.

Shen Zangfeng closed his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Guang'er is too smart, when I hesitated, I repeatedly called Xie'er to him, but I didn't want to speak." Later, it was decided to use Eleven's suggestion and find a boy who was about the same age as Xie'er and had a good look...... But in the middle of this, Guang'er has already seen my intention of taking Xie'er to Diecui Pass......"

Wei Changying was so shocked that his soul flew away: "Could it be that Guang'er is ...... like Shu Ming?" ”

The eldest son, who is so sensible that people feel distressed, can't do something that he can't take the initiative to take for his younger brother......
