Chapter 169: Old and New

ο»Ώ

Of course, Liu Xixun felt struggling.

Although he was selected by the old Weiyuan Hou of the former Wei Wei as the next lord of the former Wei when he was a teenager, the background of the side branch and the lush heirs under the knees of the old Weiyuan Hou gave him a lot of pressure. Later, the old Marquis of Weiyuan passed away suddenly, and he fought with the successor Marquis of Weiyuan, Liu Bozhao, for several years before he reluctantly regained the position of the lord.

In the middle of this, he had to join forces with Liu Ruowo, the sworn enemy of the old Wei Yuanhou and the grandson of Liu Sihuai, the former Wei Taiwei.

Therefore, after Liu Xixun won, Liu Ruowo also gained a high status.

But at the beginning, Liu Sihuai was able to fight against Lao Weiyuanhou, relying on the power of the court. Liu Xixun thinks that he has learned the lesson of the old Wei Yuanhou, and does not give Liu Ruowo the opportunity to occupy the contacts of the DPRK and China alone, and slowly can always suppress Liu Ruowo without threatening his position.

However, Liu Ruowo's share of the credit for saving the driver was actually ahead of Liu Xixun to be knighted!

Or Guogong!

Although Wen Yanzi generously took out the prince to thank the heroes, Liu Xixun knew very well in his heart that with the fact that he was the lord of the Liu family, even if the entire southwest was beaten by him, it was impossible to be crowned king!

Besides, he wants to conquer the entire southwest, not to mention whether he has the ability - now when the Manchu Dynasty and the military are all staring at the southwest, he just has the ability and dares to move this mind! Maybe the southwest hasn't been beaten yet, and he was killed by his own people first!

In other words, if Liu Xixun is knighted, the highest is on a par with Liu Ruowo - although Liu Sihuai was a first-class member back then, the position of Taiwei was not as stable as the title. This gave Lao Weiyuan a headache! Now Liu Ruowo has taken the lead in sealing the title of the Duke of the Kingdom - this has directly shaken Liu Xixun's lordship!

"But why did he marry our family? The situation in our family is not very good now, and Liu Rongfang is like a thief. Wei Changying said with a frown.

Shen Zangfeng snorted: "There are alien races in the north and west of Xinjiang, and the imperial court has not stopped using troops in the southwest, if there is chaos in the north and west, do you think Your Majesty will be worried?" ”

"This is to remind Your Majesty that after the marriage of Shen and Liu, there will be two families at one move, and there will be no peace in the north and west if the two families move?" Wei Changying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After the imperial court finished fighting the southwest, it didn't have the ability to go north and fight again!" ”

"On the one hand, there may be people who have the idea of giving it a try. Di Rong's accomplice" Shen Zangfeng shook his head, did not continue to talk about the situation, only said, "You prepare a dowry for Shu Ming." He also said, "If Jing'er is not satisfied with Shu Ming's wife, you will say that this marriage is my master." ”

Wei Changying said: "Jing'er has always been very sensible, and besides, Liu Bing'er is pretty, even if her temperament is a little pampered, when she is a daughter at home, who doesn't have a temper?" If you marry a woman, you will naturally know how to be restrained. ”

"Not necessarily." Shen Zangfeng immediately said: "Before we got married, I heard my mother tell me about you-what gentle, virtuous, understanding, considerate, virtuous, virtuous, and virtuous became a parent?" If you're happy, pinch me, and if you're not happy, beat me! What kind of convergence is this? I see that you are in the boudoir to call convergence, and when you enter the door of the Shen family, it becomes a tidying up - tidying up me every day! ”

Wei Changying decisively stepped on the instep of his foot, grabbed his ear, twisted it hard, and asked viciously: "What did you say?!" ”

"Ying'er, you are gentle, virtuous, understanding, considerate, virtuous, virtuous!" Shen Zangfeng quickly replied: "I think there is no one in this world who is more gentle, virtuous, more empathetic, more considerate, and more virtuous than you!" I am really fortunate to be able to marry such a good wife as you in three lifetimes!! ”

"Do you know it's wrong?" Wei Changying squinted at him.

Shen Zangfeng made a low bow: "I know, I know!" It's a big mistake for a husband, it's just a mistake! ”

"Then you don't want to go back to your room tonight, practice calligraphy all night in the study, and copy the typos for me eight hundred times!" Wei Changying shouted!

Shen Zangfeng was about to answer, when there was a coughing sound outside the door, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said flatteringly: "Ying'er, look, it seems that someone is coming?" ”

"I'll settle accounts with you later!" Wei Changying twisted his ears and whispered, then let go and straighten his dress.

After a while, Shen Shuguang came in with a strange face and said, "The child passed by the side house, as if he heard his sister crying, and the nurse couldn't coax it. ”

"Hurry up and let the nurse bring her over!" Wei Changying hurriedly said, but he didn't notice that her husband secretly wiped a cold sweat and handed over an approving look to his eldest son

The previous fight between the husband and wife was just over.

The next day, the chief of the guard, entrusts the people to politely decline the few young ladies he had taken a fancy to before, packed up a generous gift, and invited Su Yuli to go to Liu's house to mention the family matter. Liu Xixun and Shen Zangfeng had already agreed in private, Liu Bing'er's parents naturally had no opinion, and both sides praised each other's children, and the atmosphere was happy to settle the family affair.

Because Shen Shuming is not young tomorrow, and Liu Bing'er is also sixteen years old, so after discussing with Shen Zangfeng, Wei Changying decided to marry immediately, and marry Liu Bing'er in the autumn - of course, before that, Shen Shuming had to come to the imperial capital first.

Originally, because of his marriage, Shen Shuming returned to Xiliang from the Mengshan Jade Mine, and he had planned to let him marry in Xiliang - at that time, each family had private soldiers, and if the world was not too chaotic, even if it was a family, it would be no problem to send a parent. Now that the world is divided into four divisions, without the Xiliang Army and the Donghu Army, and then using the army, it will not be easy to explain without the Holy Decree.

Not to mention that the war in the southwest is not known when it will end? The war is raging in the front, and the rear is mobilizing troops and horses to send relatives, and now it is not the erosive Wei Mo, so it is unreasonable to do so.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, it is more convenient for Shen Shuming to come to the imperial capital to get married.

In this way, his ten-year punishment is equivalent to being forgotten by everyone

Shen Shujing was naturally very happy when he learned about this, and even said that he would teach him a good lesson when Shen Shuming came.

Wei Changying laughed at this, but deliberately called Shen Shuguang to him and told him about it - Shen Shuguang almost killed Shen Shuming back then! Even if Shen Shuguang is for his brother. Now that the lobby brother is coming, and the brothers are meeting, Wei Changying is worried that the eldest son will feel uncomfortable.

But obviously she underestimated Shen Shuguang, and when she learned that Shen Shuming was coming, Shen Shuguang asked calmly: "Then do you want the child to go out of the city to greet her?" ”

"It's the eldest brother of your generation, and it's supposed to be welcome, but," Wei Changying groaned, not knowing how to ask his son.

However, Shen Shuguang said considerately: "Although I was forced by the situation back then, I offended Brother Lobby, but Brother Lobby has always loved children, and I don't want to come for so long." When the time comes, the child will make amends to the lobby brother. ”

"To put it well, your elder brother has been very decadent in the Mengshan Jade Mine in the past two years, I'm afraid my mind will be narrow." Wei Changying reminded.

It's not that she's afraid of Shen Shuming, but she's just worried that if the eldest son has an unpleasant quarrel with his cousin, it will not be good for the eldest son's reputation.

Shen Shuguang responded with a smile: "The child must remember his mother's instructions!" ”

In this grievance of the younger generation, not only Wei Chang was concerned, but Shen Yongkun also deliberately called his nephew to him: "Shu Ming is coming over, what are you going to do with your brother's previous affairs?" ”

"It was my nephew who was not good back then, but it's a pity that after many years, my nephew couldn't make amends to my eldest brother." Shen Shuguang said casually, "This time, my nephew plans to welcome out of Baili, plead guilty with the eldest brother, and strive to enter the imperial capital in harmony with the eldest brother." ”

Shen Yongkun looked at him for a moment and sighed, "Then I don't have anything to say." He heard the meaning of Shen Shuguang's words: Yingbaili, that is to say, after he received Shen Shuming, he may not be able to return to the imperial capital that day, at least two or three days - in these two or three days, even if Shen Shuming can't forgive him, but the sincerity of being a younger brother to Yingbaili - will enter the imperial capital, as long as Shen Shuming is not completely confused, he will definitely not throw Shen Shuguang's face in front of people.

With the scene of the brothers entering the city in harmony, Shen Shuguang was too lazy to pay attention to this big brother in private, and it was nothing.

From Shen Yongkun's point of view, of course, he hopes that his nephews can work together, instead of calculating with each other.

However, Shen Shuguang did this, although he seemed a little cold, and he was not a pure-hearted cousin, but it was very in line with his identity as a young lord.

The person who is in charge of a behemoth like the Xiliang Shen clan is destined to be impossible to be simple.

"In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed." Shen Yongkun watched his nephew retire, this day was a rare sunny day in winter, the warm sun shone on Shen Shuguang's body, and from the eyes of his uncle who was high in the hall, his nephew's whole body was like a layer of gold rim, outlining the young man who was gradually growing into an adult as a sacred and beautiful.

has a pair of parents who are both famous among the nobles for their outstanding appearance, whether it is Shen Shuguang when he was a child or Shen Shuguang at this moment, they all have this sacred and beautiful appearance and demeanor.

But Shen Yongkun knew that after all these years and the changes of the years, there were as many shadows as there were cities in Shen Shuguang's heart at this moment.

He missed the time when he was just a full week, and his nephew who was like a snow ball, was held in the arms of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Su, with big black eyes, so curious and defenseless innocence.

But he knew that for the Xiliang Shen family, the current Shen Shuguang was what the family needed.

"He's not like the third brother back then." Shen Shuguang's figure has been blocked by the pine trees in the court, and he can't see it, but Shen Jikun's emotion hasn't stopped, "But it's not surprising that the third brother hasn't experienced any blows at his age." He witnessed the fall of the imperial capital and watched his grandfather, uncle, and cousin die in front of his eyes. ”

"Another generation has risen, and its sideburns are not gray, and its hearts are not old. But when I saw my nephew, who could be said to be close, I always felt that I was old. Shen Yongkun stroked the scar on his face - because of this scar, he would not be able to go out, but compared to his younger brothers and cousins who even lost their lives in the chaos, he was extremely lucky.

"But I hope that the suffering of their generation has passed, and there will be no twists and turns in the future!"

At about the same time, in the study, Shen Zangfeng was looking at the snow on the maple trees outside the window latticeβ€”those that Shen Xuan had planted with his own hands in the past had been burned down with the former Wei Taifu's mansion.

He planted them on purpose, according to the number of his brothers, and according to the number of his sons and nephews.

"What happened to my child in his early childhood is enough to make ordinary people grief. Although it is said that the jade is not cut into a tool, but the carving is too much, and it also hurts the quality of the jade, let me worry about it again, and give them more worries in the future! He suddenly retracted his gaze, pulled out an apricot note from the bookcase, and worked hard to write!
