Chapter 198: Lu Cheng

Lu Cheng smiled and said, "Back to the eldest lady's words, it is also very coincidental. Last month, on the birthday of the lord of the fast, although the lord of the fasting was happy and pure, but he couldn't resist our five sons to do their best, so they agreed to set up a few tables of family banquets. Originally, only the elders of the clan and the dignified children of the nearby branch were invited, but the sixth master ...... That's what the eldest lady said, who was originally in Chaoyun County as the county commander, and was also very studious when he was in office, and just vacated last month to go to Fengzhou to ask for advice from the lord of the quality of Jiaozhai, since it happened to be a banquet, and he was a child of the clan, so he also joined the table. ”

Wei Changying asked: "Then how did you bring up the matter of succession?" ”

"It's an elder in the clan, I've seen the fourth master before, and I was very surprised when I saw the sixth master, and said that he was very similar to the fourth master. When our lord heard this, he ordered someone to pass him to him, and sure enough! The valve owner sighed very much, and the elders persuaded the valve owner, since the sixth master is so similar to the fourth master, why don't you discuss with Jingcheng Hou and pass the sixth master to the name of the fourth master? Lu Cheng said, "Later, Jingchenghou agreed, and this matter was done." ”

The fourth master is naturally Wei Lian.

Wei Changying groaned and said, "That Wei Xin...... What about the clan uncle's father's branch? ”

Lu Cheng smiled and said, "The sixth master has another half-brother, who can take over his own incense. ”

"Where is that clan uncle or clan uncle?" Wei Changying was stunned, she always thought that Wei Changying had no brothers! But then again, Wei Xinyong is young, and he has a big enmity with his uncle Wei Qi before he gets married - the so-called discord is nothing more than the hatred of killing his father and taking his wife, since he doesn't have a wife, there is a chance that he will not have a wife. Nine, it is the father's hatred.

However, seeing that Wei Xinyong is dealing with Wei Qi alone, since he has a brother, he doesn't know what his brother's situation is?

Lu Cheng snorted: "That one is now in Zecheng under Fengzhou is in charge of the government order, and the Marquis of Jingcheng sent someone to write a letter, and he also agreed." In this way, the ancestral hall was opened, and it was succeeded to the name of the fourth master - now it is called the sixth master. ”

Wei Changying knew that although Mrs. Song was not mentioned in this matter from beginning to end, her grandmother must have contributed to it. Old Madam Song couldn't have such a kind heart as white hair, she naturally had her purpose in doing this.

You only need to think about it to get a glimpse of Mrs. Song's intentions: the old lady's wish in life is nothing more than the word "descendants". However, due to internal and external troubles, Ruiyutang is gradually declining, and there are so few people who can use it - Wei Shengyi, who is in the prime of life in this sect, is not credible and unusable but has to use it, and Wei Changfeng, the grandson of Mrs. Song, who has high hopes, is young, and due to the temptation of the saint, he also set a fiancΓ©e that Mrs. Song is not satisfied with.

And Wei Xinyong, who knows the main hall, is not famous, but there are hills and valleys in the 'chest', not to mention, and he has a big enmity with Wei Qi, which is indeed worth encompassing. But Wei Changying doesn't think that Wei Xinyong is the kind of person who pulls him when he is cold and nameless, and he will die to the ground.

…… Wei Xinyong is not much older than Wei Changfeng, he is both talented and beautiful, and his bearing is noble, as long as someone supports him, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to soar into the sky. And he is also a member of the Wei clan...... Such a person, I am not sure that he has a very grateful heart, so I will support him first. What if he has a big heart in the future and threatens Wei Changfeng?

Of course, Wei Xinyong's biological brother is now an official in Fengzhou, and I think this should be Mrs. Song's request or Wei Xinyong's initiative to do so. But under the 'temptation' and 'confusion' of power, who knows if Wei Xinyong will really care about this brother so much?

Wei Changying has met with this uncle, and his impression of this uncle is that he is as wise as the sea and does not hide it. Such a person has a kind of ruthlessness in his heart, which is a handle and a pull for ordinary people, but not necessarily for such people.

Besides, how old Mrs. Song is getting older, and the future ...... Who knows if a person like Wei Xinyong, after his wings are full, can the old lady continue to pinch him in the palm of her hand? Especially the old lady Song's intention is obviously to let Wei Xinyong go to the imperial capital to develop - the old lady herself is not in the imperial capital, so she is not afraid that the whip will be out of reach?

Wei Changying frowned tightly, and said after a while: "What do you have to say about this sixth uncle, grandmother or mother for you to bring to me?" ”

Lu Cheng glanced around, and saw that Wei Changying had already cleared the scene, and now there were all the servants of the Wei family that he knew or knew, so he said in a deep voice: "The old lady said that the sixth master is talented, so it's a pity that he doesn't need to." Although he has other plans, the old lady also has her own back. Now I also ask the eldest lady to introduce you to the six masters, and give the six masters a chance to enter. ”

Wei Chang looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Grandmother has nothing to say?" What about mothers? ”

"The eldest lady is telling the little lady to pay close attention to the eldest lady's 'essence' spirit, if you get the grace of the eldest lady, I want to take another look at the little lady, and report it to the eldest lady in detail after I go back." Lu Cheng said, "The old lady said the same thing. But there were no other words. ”

Wei Changying thought about it for a while, and felt that it should be that there were some things that were inconvenient for her grandmother to write in the letter and inconvenient to tell Lu Cheng, so she couldn't help but sigh that it was so troublesome to be far away from her mother's family. Hearing Lu Cheng mention the little son, she smiled bitterly and said, "You came a few days late, Guang'er was taken to his grandmother two days ago to raise, because my housekeeper is a little busy now, and his grandmother is not at ease, so she took him over to raise him temporarily." ”

Lu Cheng hurriedly said: "It's all small damned, I didn't hurry enough on the road, so I missed the opportunity to see the little boy." ”

Wei Changying said lightly: "It's none of your business...... By the way, my grandmother asked me to introduce this sixth uncle to everyone, but I don't know where this sixth uncle is? Is it still in Fengzhou, or has it already arrived in the imperial capital? ”

Lu Cheng said: "After the sixth master succeeded to the name of the fourth master, the master of the sixth master inspected the schoolwork of the sixth master, and the sixth master was too condescending to be a county magistrate in Chaoyun County. The owner couldn't bear to see this beautiful 'jade' buried, so he ordered the sixth master to resign from the official position in Chaoyun County, and wrote a letter of recommendation to the sixth master. The sixth master should not arrive in Beijing in two or three days...... The old lady came over first, firstly, to give the little boy a congratulatory gift, and secondly, she was afraid that the eldest lady would not know about it, so she stopped the sixth master. ”

Wei Changying groaned, "I know...... Is there anything else to be done? ”

Lu Cheng shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Then you go down first, and rest for a while. I've written a letter, and I'll bring it back to you when I've got a gift. Wei Changying took a sip of tea, and Lu Cheng retreated as he said.

When he left, Wei Changying sent the rest of the people away, leaving the Huang family to discuss: "Wei Xinyong will come to Ruiyu Hall after him, it seems that my grandmother is not only worried about the second uncle, but I am afraid that the second uncle is no longer honest." Otherwise, Wei Xinyong is not credible, why would grandmother exalt him like this? ”

Huang thought for a moment and said, "Even though Wei Xinyong is as wise as the sea, he is young. What's more, he is not famous so far, even if he has a brother, he is not a big man who turns his hands into clouds and hands for rain, and the maid thinks that the old lady has always been cautious, since she has used him, she has obviously left enough back. ”

Wei Changying frowned and said: "It's not that I don't believe in my grandmother, I just think that my grandmother's 'temperament' will not be used easily, and now that I have used him, I am afraid it is for the sake of the situation." But neither the grandmother nor the mother mentioned anything in the letter, nor did Lu Cheng say anything there...... Thinking of Changfeng's marriage before, I always feel a little worried. ”

She groaned, "Auntie, you think, how did the second aunt die, some people outside may also know it, let alone the second uncle's family?" The second uncle may not be so affectionate to the second aunt, but he is a man, and he can't even protect his wife, just for this reason, I'm afraid the second uncle is not happy. Not to mention that for cousins and cousins, as well as Wei Changjuan, this is a revenge for killing their mother! Grandmother has always been both used and guarded against the second uncle, and now she has made this move, and the second uncle's 'lips' are cold - grandfather has always thought that the second uncle is quite talented, I think since the second uncle has been praised by his grandfather like this, it is impossible not to see his grandmother's intentions, how can he follow his grandmother's wishes in everything? ”

Huang said: "What does the young lady mean?" ”

"The second uncle is unwilling to be at the mercy of his grandmother, so he naturally wants to find another way." Wei Changying 'rubbed' his eyebrows and said, "Originally, the second uncle seemed to have some collusion with Zhibentang and Uncle Tang, but now that the Marquis of Jingcheng is in Fengzhou, this time he was forced by his grandfather to 'hand' over Wei Xinyong; What the second uncle can choose now is either the previous Liu family, or the saint! ”

Huang sighed: "The young lady is now thinking more and more about things. ”

"Now that my grandfather has made up his mind to choose my second uncle, whether it is the Liu family or the saint, there is no way to forcibly change my grandfather's decision." Wei Changying ignored her compliment, and said contemplatively, "Since the second uncle has lost the hope of being the lord, and his status and value on both sides are not high, he is willing to sell Ruiyu Hall, and the Liu family and the saint may not dare to promise him anything considering his grandfather's skill." I heard that the second uncle's family is very silent these days? ”

"After the death of the second lady, the second young lady and the third young lady became the house, and they treated the seventh lady very hard." Huang said, "After the maid went to Fengzhou, the second lady combed the whole mansion, and the few people who were left were also hidden in inconspicuous corners. In order to prevent detection, it is easy not to pass on any news. What the servant has been getting lately is inconsequential. Oh, there is one thing, the eleventh miss of the Liu family, who seems to have pretended to be a 'woman' to meet Miss Seven. ”

Wei Changying's eyes froze and said, "When did this happen?" Why didn't you tell me? ”

Huang Shi hurriedly explained: "I only got it today, and the person who sent the news was too cautious, because he didn't see it with his own eyes, and asked the person who 'revealed' the wind on the side, and he didn't dare to report it until he was sure of seven or eight points." ”

So he roughly told what he knew, "The eldest lady was a little disgusted with the eleventh miss of the Liu family before the death of the second lady, and the seventh miss was not allowed to be close to her. But Miss Seven didn't listen...... After the second lady went, the eldest lady went back to her mother's house to mourn, and when she returned to her husband's house, she specially told the 'door' of the front 'door' and the back 'door' that Miss Liu Shiyi was not allowed to enter the house to see Miss Seven. As a result, Miss Liu Shiyi somehow 'touched' the corner 'door', and the person who took the money and the corner 'door' pretended not to know, and let her go into the house to see Miss Seven, and heard that she stayed overnight before leaving again. ”

Wei Changying immediately said: "It's just that the people in the corner 'gate' are easy to buy, and the place where Wei Changjuan lives is not next to the corner 'gate', will Liu Ruoye find out if you go in and out along the way?" It must be the two cousins-in-law who are now in charge of the house, or at least one of them is deliberately laissez-faire? ”

Huang smiled and said, "The young lady has good eyesight, that's the case. Although the maid did not receive any news about these two young ladies, she knew that they did not like Miss Seven. ”

"If you just don't like Wei Changjuan, you should ask someone to break this matter when Liu Ruoye leaves, so that Wei Changjuan can be punished." Wei Changying thought for a moment and said, "But they didn't, they actually helped Wei Changjuan cover up this matter...... Isn't it Liu Ruoye's meeting with Wei Changjuan, or Liu Ruoye's purpose is right in their hands?! ”

This Huang didn't receive the news and couldn't be sure, and he didn't dare to say dead, so he only said: "The two young ladies were picked by the old lady, and the second lady has never liked them very much, and they are more interested in the old lady." However, now that he is afraid of startling the grass and snakes, and he is also afraid of 'forced' the second master and them, the maid does not dare to contact the people around the two young ladies rashly, for fear of ruining the old lady's plan. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Heng Zhiwei Xinyong arrived in two or three days. Wei Changying thought for a moment and said, "I have been pondering for the past two days, and when he arrives in the imperial capital, I will definitely meet with him and ask him clearly." ”
