[Chapter 2, Volume 2]

Section 128

It wasn't until dusk that Wei Changying, who didn't look very good, returned to the Frost Court.

Seeing her come back, the He family and the Huang family, who had been waiting for her for a long time, hurriedly greeted her, and complained and persuaded them for a while, and at the end, when Wei Changying entered the house and sat down, drank a cup of tea, he naturally asked where she had gone.

He said: "If the eldest lady is in a bad mood and wants to take a walk in the backyard, will the maid dare to stop the eldest lady?" It's just that the day when the eldest lady will leave the cabinet is just around the corner, and there is no one around to take care of it, what if she bumps into it? ”

Wei Changying was listless, and said indifferently: "Didn't I come back well?" Besides, I'm not some weak woman who is powerless, what can be bumping against me in this backyard? ”

Huang Shi can speak, and said softly: "The eldest lady is skilled in martial arts, and the maids are not worried about the blue sky and the daylight, what can happen with the eldest lady's skills?" That is, now the old lady and the lady are looking at the eldest lady, the eldest lady will go out alone, will the old lady and the lady be worried? In the afternoon, they all sent three or four groups of people over, asking if the servants were not serving well and neglecting the eldest lady, otherwise why did the eldest lady go out without taking anyone with them? ”

"......" Wei Changying frowned, she could hear that the Huang family kept saying that Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song blamed them for these subordinates, but in fact, it was to remind herself that the day of departure was imminent, and with the degree of favor she was at home, of course Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song cherished it very much, and no matter how busy they were, they would make a lot of effort to pay attention.

Behaviors like sneaking out alone to take a walk this afternoon, and avoiding the little maid who came out to find him, reached the ears of Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song, and they would not scold themselves, but they would inevitably worry in their hearts.

Of course, Wei Changying didn't want to make her grandmother and mother feel uneasy before leaving the cabinet, so she could only sigh and say, "I know, I will lie down on the ancient locust tree behind me for a while, and I didn't do anything else." Where I'm going to go in the next two days, I'll greet you. ”

"It turns out that the eldest lady really went to Huaiyuan?" The hundred-year-old ancient acacia courtyard that was enclosed alone took the name of Huaiyuan, and the Huang family and the He family breathed a sigh of relief, but also had some doubts, "Before the maid met the double carp, she said that she saw the eldest lady walking that way, Zhu Yan and Zhu Shi also went to look for it, but they picked up a lot of acacia flowers and came back, but they never met the eldest lady?" ”

Wei Changying glanced at Zhu Yan and Zhu Shi, who had already come back and heard that they were on the locust tree, and were worried about themselves, and hummed: "I felt very comfortable on the tree, so I ignored their noise!" ”

She deliberately bit the word noise, Zhu Yan and Zhu Shi heard the meaning, and their faces turned pale - although they didn't actually say anything bad, but first, they talked about their young lady's future husband's family, and secondly, they were somewhat embarrassed and selfish about marrying to the imperial capital. These are all tacit but not appropriate to say, I don't want to ask Wei Changying to listen to it this time, the two of them are very scared.

The Huang family and the He family both have a hand in training the little maid, and when they see this scene, they have a number in their hearts, and they must have Zhu Yan and Zhu Shi not seen Wei Changying in the Huai Courtyard, but this young lady is not there, looking at the cleanliness around her, but she took the opportunity to gossip - but Wei Changying heard it!

The two aunts wrote this down, thought about it, turned around and knocked Zhu Yan and Zhu Shi, but they didn't know it on their faces, and scolded lightly: "The eldest lady is too risky, how tall is the locust tree, even if the eldest lady is conceited in martial arts, but the son of the daughter can't sit down, and he shouldn't climb up!" ”

He Shi was especially distressed: "The tree is so high, you can see some shadows in the place where you are almost two gates!" In case anyone looks up and sees it, what is the face of the eldest lady? Such an insulting thing, where is the Wei family's daughter suitable to do? The eldest lady is too ridiculous! ”

He's Milk. Older Wei Changying, even if her ability is not as good as the Huang family, but her status is very transcendent, Wei Changying didn't think much of her lesson, and just pouted, "I'm not...... Well, it's good to come down? ”

If no one had caused trouble, maybe I would have eaten steamed locust flowers!

Of course, He Shi was very dissatisfied with her attitude: "What a noble person the eldest lady is! How can you take such a risk? If the eldest lady wants to eat snacks made of acacia flowers, can't she just ask someone to pick them? If you want to rest on a tree, make a tree house, connect a rope ladder, and then hang a rope down and tie it around your waist, so that it is safe! ”

Wei Changying rubbed the corners of her forehead, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Didn't Zhu Yan and Zhu Shi bring back the acacia flower?" What have they done? ”

"It's steamed." He immediately forgot about continuing to criticize the teaching of Wei Changying climbing trees, and said lovingly, "Do you want to taste it?" ”

Huang shook his head secretly, He didn't really forget about business as soon as he heard Wei Changying ask about food, she just cared about Wei Changying's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and as soon as these four things were mentioned, the others were temporarily thrown aside. It is no wonder that Mrs. Song let herself stay in the imperial capital back then, thinking that the eldest lady was preparing to go out of the cabinet, and among the people at that time, she chose the He family to be the nurse for the eldest lady - He's scheming city government is not successful, but she is also quick to do things, the most important thing is that she has a very good relationship with the Huang family, and she is extremely convinced of the Huang family when she is a child, and the two of them will be little maids together, and the He family listens to the Huang family for everything, and she doesn't even ask the reason if the Huang family asks her to do it......

This habit is so deep-rooted that now the two have not seen each other for more than ten years, and Wuzi quickly became intimate. Even within a few days, they were back to their status as little maids, and the He family didn't want to move at all now.

In this way, there is an aunt by Wei Changying's side, an aunt takes care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the two aunts have a good relationship, and they will not disagree with each other, but they are peaceful and friendly...... Mrs. Song is such a granddaughter, for the sake of Wei Changying, is it just a far-sighted plan, it is simply exhaustive.

The He family is now only thinking about giving Wei Changying food, and the Huang family will not forget the business, while the steamed locust flowers have not yet been served, she told Wei Changying: "Jiang Guard's entrustment handed over the message, and he wanted to ask the eldest lady for something." ”

Wei Changying took a sip of tea and asked suspiciously, "What does Uncle Jiang ask of me?" ”

Of course, the position of the eldest lady's teaching is envious and jealous of most of the guards, but Jiang Zheng has been licking blood on the rivers and lakes for several generations, and he defected to the Wei family just to have a peaceful life. The Wei family has always been generous to its subordinates, especially the talented subordinates, Jiang Zheng is also unrelated and has always been very satisfied with his life in the Wei family, and he has taught Wei Changying for more than ten years, but he has never made any requests.

Now that he suddenly said that he wanted Wei Changying, Wei Changying couldn't help but be a little worried, sat up straight, and said, "Don't Jiang Bo want to go to the imperial capital?" ”

Jiang Zheng's martial arts are strong, and the most rare thing is that he has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, and the three sisters and brothers of the Wei family were able to get out of the killing game before, and he was definitely the first merit. With such a talent, Old Madam Song will definitely not let him get out of the palms of her own relatives. Because Jiang Zheng had been teaching Wei Changying, Mrs. Song decided to let him go out of the cabinet with Wei Changying.

This teacher is not a servant, he signed not a deed of sale, but a long deed of service to the Wei family, but if he really didn't want to go to the imperial capital, in the end, it was actually a master and apprentice, and Wei Changying didn't want to really go against his will, but he was a little disappointed.

I heard Huang Shi smile and said, "Don't worry, eldest lady, how can Jiang Guards not want to accompany eldest lady to the imperial capital?" This is the case, Jiang Guards wanted to bring his disciples with him, saying that he had long wanted his disciples to go to the imperial capital for training. ”

Wei Changying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What am I talking about?" For such a trivial matter, just add the name of Jiang Bo's disciple. ”

"It's a problem." Huang said with a smile, "This disciple accepted by the Jiang guards is not a guard or servant of our Wei family, but a commoner. And listening to the meaning of the Jiang guard, he did not mean to let this disciple sign a long and short contract with our family, but he wanted to take advantage of the eldest lady to marry in the imperial capital, so that the disciple could accompany him on the road, and he would also be a companion. ”

In a good pick-up team, it is really inappropriate for an outsider to appear. However, Wei Changying was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "It's nothing, after all, it's Jiang Bo's disciple...... Ah, last time, Aunt He scolded Jiang Bo, and also said that Jiang Bo's disciples came. Jiang Bo has never told me, what kind of person is this disciple of his? ”

Because of her identity, and the most important thing is that she is a girl, although Wei Changying followed Jiang Zheng to learn martial arts rain or shine, she did not apprentice. According to the rules at this time, the most subtle and powerful martial arts among the Jiang family's inherited martial arts would not be taught to her. But as Wei Changying, learning is almost the same now.

is Jiang Zheng's real stunt, and he is looking for another successor.

Wei Changying knew that he couldn't call Jiang Zheng a master, but he thought that he was diligent and hardworking, and he would not be under a real apprentice. Now that he heard that Jiang Zheng had accepted the disciple seriously, he couldn't help but feel a little competitive, and wanted to inquire about the other party's strength and compare it with himself.

She was a little careful, and the Huang family was clear, so she smiled: "I heard that his name is Zhu Lei, and the maid has never seen it with his own eyes, but I heard the person who passed the word from Ermen say that he is a burly and majestic person." It looks like he has been crowned, but in fact, he is not very old, two years younger than our fifth son. He also said, "I heard that Jiang Guards are very fond of this disciple, as if his martial arts roots are excellent. Almost all of the private houses that Jiang Guards have saved over the years have been used to buy him all kinds of herbs and meat to temper his body and build a foundation. Treat it as your own and love it very much. ”

Wei Changying groaned: "It's only fourteen years old...... "Fourteen years old, four years younger than himself, this age is burly and majestic, it can be seen that the physique is very dominant. And he is very liked by Jiang Zheng, Wei Changying has always been praised by Jiang Zheng for his outstanding talent and good roots, this disciple from the common people can make Jiang Zheng work hard, maybe his talent is even higher than Wei Changying himself......

Meet, don't compare, the other party is younger than you, it is disgraceful to win, and it is even more humiliating to lose.

She dispelled the thought of continuing to probe into Zhu Lei's details, and only said: "For Uncle Jiang's sake, let him go with him, and if there is no horse mount, give him a pair of ...... Jiang Bo should have connections among the guards to take care of him, right? If it's inconvenient, you can just ask Jiang Bo to go and say hello. ”

The road from Fengzhou to the imperial capital may not be peaceful, although Zhu Lei is a martial artist, but it is not safe enough to go on the road alone. The team that followed the Shen family to pick up relatives was relieved, Shen Zangfeng only brought three hundred family private guards and cavalry nominally this time, but in fact, there were nearly a thousand people, including the stewards, servants, etc., all of them were young and strong men, and the nominal servants also had swords hanging from their waists...... It is said that because the Shen family and the Liu family guard the border and have to fight with Di and Rong almost every year, the clan is full of soldiers from top to bottom.

That is to say, those so-called stewards and subordinates, when they encounter bandits, in addition to having no armor, they can go up and fight with swords and horses.

What's more, the combat effectiveness of the private soldiers of all ethnic groups and the soldiers and horses of the Great Wei Dynasty is not at the same level at all, and the private soldiers are raised by the Wang clan themselves to protect the family foundation, whether it is soldiers or mounts, weapons, and armor, they are all top-notch, not to mention the soldiers' salaries, they must be given enough.

However, the Great Wei Dynasty has been corrupted over the years, and the army is also a miasma, and the matter of eating empty salaries has emerged in an endless stream to the point that the imperial history is too lazy to impeach. The number of deserters is increasing day by day - these people from the Shen family, plus Wei Changying's own marriage, and the Wei family always have to have someone to go to the imperial capital to attend the wedding...... If you don't mobilize a considerable number of Wei military horses, this team is not easy to bully.

As for the mobilization of Great Wei soldiers and horses to move this team...... The Shen family is not without people in the military department.

Taking Zhu Lei along the way was just a gesture - this matter was quickly left behind by Wei Changying, she sighed that after dusk is evening, and after evening is night...... After dawn, there was another day, and her days at her mother's house were one less day.

When you lose, you know how to cherish it best.

Wei Changying felt that there was no more reasonable word in the world at this moment.

Her greedy gaze is attached to every grass and tree in the frost court, even if it is an occasional piece of gravel under the flower, all because she goes to the imperial capital, and it is unknown whether she will have a chance to return to her hometown in this life.

This frost court, which records her childhood to girlhood, is vast.

The complex state of mind and the pain of parting - crossing the youthful and beautiful girlhood to marrying a wife, from innocent and carefree to a good wife and mother who presides over the middle of the husband and children - growth always comes at a price.

The young Wei Changying, in ignorance, was dimly aware of this.
