[Chapter 3, Volume 3]

Section 211

…… In the end, Gu Naizheng and his party couldn't find the boat, which was also a helpless thing: in the Furong Continent in midsummer, the hibiscus flowers and leaves were mighty and connected to the sky, and the surging reeds could cover the huge Furong Continent densely!

It is not easy to hide three small boats in this kind of place, and it is not until the autumn and winter seasons when the water is dry, and you want to find it, unless you meet it by chance. Hearing the news, Brother Xie and his wife each held a small boat and searched for a long time in the vicinity but did not find any clues, but it was the Shen family's courtyard, because Shen Zangfeng had told them before, and they would go back after eating at the Xie family wine shop in Furong Island, but they did not return for a long time when they arrived in Chenguang, so they sent another boat to inquire.

In this way, it happened that Zhou Ji sent Gu Naizheng and the three of them away...... Of course, their little servants can't get up together, so they can only let the Xie family's boat send them.

After such a toss, it was almost evening when I returned to the other courtyard.

Although the location of this courtyard is quiet, the front of the courtyard is the shore of the lake, a dock is built to tie the boat, and a tall locust tree is planted for shade. When you want to come to spring, the shores of this spring grass lake are full of fluffy and acacia flowers blooming, no matter how you look at it, it is a beautiful painting that makes people feel intoxicated.

There was also a lot of thought in the courtyard, but because of the encounter with the lotus girl and Gu Naizheng, Wei Changying entered the courtyard, reluctantly saw the next person, threw himself on the couch, and didn't even think about dinner.

It is conceivable that this night passed hastily, and the next day, because I was afraid of going to the lake and calling Gu Naizheng to bump into him again, I only walked with Shen Zangfeng by the lake near the courtyard - the weather was hot, although there was a lake breeze, it was inevitable that if I didn't go far, I would inevitably get tired easily.

Wei Changying then said, "Let's go back?" Although I talked to my mother for two days, I am afraid that my mother will be worried when I go back late. ”

Shen Zangfeng also knew that the two of them didn't come out much this time, but they were disturbed by the lotus picker and Gu Naizheng yesterday, and now they were not interested, so they said, "Let's come back in the future." ”

"Hmm." Wei Changying thought that this time she came out because her husband deliberately offered to accompany her to relax, her heart was sweet, and the disappointment of being disturbed before was also much lighter, so she took the initiative to lean her head on his shoulder for a moment, looking at the lake, only to feel the sound of the surrounding grass and trees, the song of the yellow orioles singing willows, and the sound of the lake waves crashing on the shore.

The so-called husband and wife are one, and the young couple have touched this true meaning in their ignorance.

…… Shen Zangfeng gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, gently kissed her sideburns, and said with a smile: "Go." ”

When I went, I was happy, and when I came back, I was inevitably heavier, thinking of the matter of the lotus girl, Wei Changying was still a little apprehensive in the end.

Especially after returning home, when she went to Mrs. Su to meet her, Mrs. Su sent Shen Zangfeng away in a few words, and left her daughter-in-law alone to ask: "I see that your expression is not very stable, but this time you went out and met something?" ”

Wei Changying secretly scolded herself for not being angry - how could she be so easily seen by her mother-in-law? Mrs. Su asked clearly, she didn't dare not answer, and muttered about the lotus girl, seeing that Mrs. Su's face became more and more ugly the more she listened, and her voice became lower and lower, waiting for Mrs. Su's reprimand......

She thought that this time she was a little mishandled, and she did not confirm the identity of the person behind the other party, so she rashly acted, forcing Shen Zangfeng to take action in person in order to clean up the aftermath for herself, which not only offended the prince, but also left a small notoriety. From Mrs. Su's point of view, the daughter-in-law has affected her son, so this scolding is expected by Wei Changying.

was thinking about pleading guilty, but he heard Mrs. Su snort heavily and said, "What a group of shameless women!" deserves to be hurt by Feng'er, and he can't come out to do this hookup in the future! ”

Wei Changying was stunned.

I heard Mrs. Su say angrily, "Chuncao Lake is a great attraction near the imperial capital, how can you tolerate such shamelessness. Women are corrupt! Xu was that there were few people who went there in the summer before, so there have been no rumors. The next time I enter the palace, I will tell the queen mother and send people to search for them, since they love to seduce men so much, they should all be exiled for 3,000 miles, and send them to the frontier soldiers to vent! ”

Unexpectedly, my mother-in-law didn't scold herself, but she was dissatisfied with the lotus girl first.

Wei Changying didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief first - at this time, Mrs. Su also scolded her, "I heard that you have also practiced martial arts since childhood, and you even killed the Rong people with your own hands when you were in Fengzhou!" Why is it that now that he is out of the cabinet, he is getting less and less courageous? Those women, Feng'er can hurt all their abilities with one move, and they are not masters in the future, will you not be able to deal with them? Let Feng'er do it! You won't do it for him? ”

Mrs. Su hated itchy, "What kind of lowly and despicable thing, dare to think of my edge!" Don't you want to think about their worthiness? ”

Mrs. Su was so angry, in addition to despising the shameless behavior of the lotus girl, she also felt that her son was offended and humiliated...... Wei Changying cautiously reminded: "My daughter-in-law heard from the people inside that they are the crown prince. ”

Because Mrs. Su's face became more and more ugly, Wei Changying looked flustered, and the words behind her were a little upside down, she thought that her mother-in-law didn't hear clearly.

"The Crown Prince?" Mrs. Su frowned, Wei Changying thought that she was going to continue to be scolded, and this was indeed the case, but Mrs. Su scolded not to cause trouble to the family as she imagined, but to say in a deep voice, "Stupid!" Now that you know that you are the crown prince, you can't be soft-hearted! You're still timid?! ”

Seeing Wei Changying's puzzled face, Mrs. Su secretly sighed that this daughter-in-law had been over for less than three months, and she was too young to think about things - but then again, now the capable and neat Liu family and Duanmu family are praised inside and out, aren't they all from ignorance?

When it was the turn of the third daughter-in-law, Mrs. Su could only continue to teach, she took a breath and explained, "Feng'er is highly valued by the clan, and you know this well - you don't know it yourself, your mother's parents always told you before you left the cabinet?" ”

Wei Changying nodded.

"Liu Xixun, who the Liu family focused on cultivating before, may have heard about the things that were calculated by the people of the clan last year." Mrs. Su said in a deep voice, "Liu Xixun has someone to calculate, Feng'er, isn't it?" ”

"Ahh Wei Changying was taken aback and said, "Could it be ...... Could it be that those lotus pickers deliberately stopped their daughters-in-law and husbands from provoking? She was puzzled again, "But then I met Gu Zilie and his party on Furong Continent, and they were also entangled by the lotus picker!" Their ships are all lost! ”

Mrs. Su said angrily: "Who knows if it's because it's to hide people's eyes and ears, so even they are entangled?" All in all, it's not a big deal to be careful! ”

Wei Changying hurriedly said: "Yes! ”

Seeing that she was willing to be taught, Mrs. Su also softened her tone and taught earnestly: "Whatever you want, do everything!" What's more, if something goes wrong, there must be deception inside! Think about it, those lotus-picking women are not beautiful, but they hook up with men everywhere on the lake, even those who have wives and rooms with them, and they are not afraid of being scolded and beaten in front of them, and they are not afraid of retaliation from nobles afterwards, can there be no fraud in this? ”

Wei Changying was ashamed and said: "The daughter-in-law is ignorant. ”

"You can't be blamed for it." Mrs. Su sighed, "You are still too young, and you have not encountered many things. Your father has no concubines, and you are also very favored in the family, so you have never heard of many private things, and it is inevitable that you will think things too simply! Besides, Liu Xixun, he has been pinned on by the clan over the years, except for being pressed by Feng'er, he has always been smooth sailing - last year he was cheated hard by his uncle in the clan, why wasn't it because he had been defenseless for a long time? Born in sorrow and dying in peace! After that, I'll watch it for Feng'er! The children here in our sect are all good, and even if they are a little careful, they are not to the point of unscrupulous means. But don't forget, our Shen family still has the branch of this sect and many branches of the side sect!

"Let me tell you a little bit about the past: back then, your grandfather and grandmother went early, and there were only two people in the sect branch, your father and uncle, and the branch and the side sect were not exhausted, and they tried every means to divide and calculate, but thanks to the cooperation of your father and uncle, they did not let them succeed! It's just that these people don't die in the end...... Otherwise, your father and uncle are now in the prime of life, why do you immediately start cultivating Feng'er? It's just that I'm afraid that if I don't cultivate as soon as possible, my prestige will be insufficient, and I won't be able to suppress those people in the future! Those people...... After all, they are all flesh and blood, and they can't be wiped out, so why don't they keep their eyes on Feng'er now? You are Feng'er's wife, and he has both glory and loss, since you entered the door, Feng'er has treated you without me to say much, do you think you should work hard for him to solve problems and be a virtuous helper? ”

Wei Changying was convinced, and respectfully asked: "The daughter-in-law is guilty, and I ask my mother to show me, what should the daughter-in-law do now?" ”

Mrs. Su took a sip of tea, squinted her eyes and said, "How to do it?" Ming'er, you will go into the palace with me. ”

Wei Changying asked: "Are you going to ask the queen for guilt?" ”

"Of course not." Mrs. Su frowned and said, "Please? What sin please? Let's not talk about those lotus-picking girls who say that the prince and the concubine are not credible at all - just like Feng'er said, who knows if they deliberately slandered the reputation of the East Palace? Even if it wasn't, it wasn't necessarily the prince's order to stop men from laughing and offending the dignity of the main room on all sides of the lake! Even if it's ......"

Mrs. Su sneered and said, "Such a shameless thing, the prince is willing to admit it, and the queen mother will not admit it!" ”

He said in a low voice, "You may not understand why I said that if those people are from the crown prince and concubine, they should not be soft-I will make it clear to you now, the next time you encounter something similar, you will know what to do with it-you said that these women, don't show their faces, staring at Feng'er and pestering endlessly, if Feng'er didn't hurt them, turn around and insist that Feng'er had an affair with the prince and the princess, you think about the consequences!" ”

Wei Changying's face changed suddenly, and he left the table to salute: "The daughter-in-law is really stupid!" Thank you Mother for her teachings! ”

"The honor of the heavenly family is not comparable to that of a courtier." Mrs. Su said slowly, "It's just that we have been waiting for the valve to read, it has been prosperous for hundreds of years, and it has not declined to this day, but it is not something that the Heavenly Family can bully at will." So Ming'er, you follow me into the palace, one is to tell the queen that there is shamelessness in Chuncao Lake. Women pretended to be the crown prince to do dirty things, and what these women did in the name of the East Palace was unbearable, so Feng'er couldn't bear it anymore and moved on them - do you understand? ”

Wei Changying nodded hurriedly: "Daughter-in-law will take care of it." In addition to Cao Yingmei, who was present at the time, it was her and Shen Zangfeng, so of course it was Wei Changying who described what happened, and the meaning of Mrs. Su's words was, of course, to ask her to pay attention to adding oil and vinegar, and to say that the more shameless the behavior of those lotus picking girls, the better-so shameless that Queen Gu didn't admit that the lotus picking girls were related to her son.

Mrs. Su said again, "This second thing is, of course, to ask the queen to send someone to arrest these women, so as to correct the atmosphere!" "This is forcing the queen and the crown prince to kill themselves.

Seeing that Wei Changying nodded again and again, Mrs. Su bowed her head with satisfaction and said, "You just came back, and you're tired of thinking about it." If you don't have anything to do, go back and rest. ”

After Wei Changying was reminded by her, it was really rumored now, and she felt that this trip to Chuncao Lake was full of traps and nets, and immediately said: "There is another person, my daughter-in-law feels very suspicious!" ”

"Who?" Mrs. Su's expression was shocked!

I heard Wei Changying say in a very vigilant tone: "This person is Gu Naizheng who I met on Furong Continent, his temperament is different from that of ordinary families, and he pesters his husband three times and twice, and his daughter-in-law thinks, there must be fraud in it!" ”

Mrs. Su was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Do you know who he is?" ”

"Huh?" Wei Changying didn't know why.

Mrs. Su sighed and said, "He is Yuli's fiancé, because his mother died before, and he was filial piety last month, so he has not been married until now - after September this year, you will have to call him a cousin-in-law or cousin-in-law!" ”

"......" Wei Changying.
