Chapter 56: Asking for Secrets
Updated: 2014-04-21
"Cousin Wei has an eldest son? That's great news. In the afternoon, the summer rain was falling, and through the screen, Song Zaishui's voice carried a trace of tiredness that could not be concealed, but the tone was joyful, "It's a pity that it's inconvenient for me to visit Fengzhou here, otherwise I haven't seen my aunt and them for a few days." ”
It was Jiang Zheng who was sent over to deliver the letter this time, because he had been the teacher of Wei Changying, his identity was different from that of ordinary 'waiting' guards, and he had also seen Song Zaishui in his early years, so he spoke more casually, and said with a smile: "When the old lady and the lady in the family wrote to our eldest lady, they often mentioned you, and they wanted to send you something before, but they were all stopped outside. I don't know if you know. ”
Song Zaishui laughed: "Huo Zhao's 'jade' is so stingy, how can he tell me?" ”
Knowing that Jiang Zheng came from Xiliang, he would not know much about the news of Fengzhou, so he asked him about Wei Changying's current situation, and when he heard that everything was fine, he asked Shen Shuguang and Shen Shuxie in detail. At the end, he sighed lightly: "If you want to say that this gathering is less and more separation, I and the two sisters of Chang Ying have the same fate!" But she is better than me after all, and she is not lonely when she has two children under her knees. I'm almost thirty years old now, and I don't even have a son and a half daughter. It's really ......."
Jiang Zheng hurriedly said: "You are also a blessed person, ...... in the future"
Song Zaishui said: "But thinking about being trapped in this courtyard by Huo Zhao's 'jade' in the past two years, it's better to have no sons and 'daughters', and there is nothing to worry about." Especially my son, otherwise I don't know if I can keep him. ”
Not only did Jiang Zheng not know how to persuade her, but the subordinates in front of her couldn't listen to it anymore, so an aunt came up and said, "Young lady, what you said, although our son is not with you now, can he still leave you alone?" As Jiang 'Waiter' said, you will have a long life in the future! ”
Another aunt helped behind the screen and said, "Isn't it?" Besides, you don't have any daughters under your knees now, but you have a lot of nephews and nephews! Not to mention that Jiangnan Hall is so far away, isn't Jiang 'servant' Wei now just saying that Wei Wugongzi is also going to be a father? Wei Wugongzi's child, isn't it your cousin? ”
Although Jiang Zheng is not as shrewd as the Huang family, he is here at the end of his age, and he has a lot of experience.
When the words of these two aunts came to this point, he would be relieved, and after a deep 'groan', he said tentatively: "What the two aunts said is very true, our eldest lady always laments that she is too far away from her mother's house, and she can't personally 'serve' her mother's family, and she feels deeply guilty. Speaking of which, our eldest lady has no sisters with the same father and mother, and she has always regarded Miss Cousin as her own sister. Miss Biao also lived in Ruiyu Hall in the past, and there was no elder 'serving' in the imperial capital, and there was nothing else that could not be left, so she felt lonely under her knees, so why not go to Fengzhou and her party? So ......"
"Jiang 'Waiter' Guard, you don't know, our young lady really doesn't need to stay in the imperial capital, but what can you do if Master Huo refuses to let go?" Song Zaishui sighed, but the aunt chirped, "Originally, our young lady was not used to the climate of the north, and now there is no one in the Su family here." The young lady has long had the idea of returning to her hometown, but those people in the court don't let go! ”
Before Jiang Zheng came, Wei Changying personally told him to help Song Zaishui get out of trouble, and he smiled at this moment: "Jiang Moujie's subordinates don't understand the things in the court, but the eldest lady said before she came, it would be good if Miss Biao could go to Fengzhou on behalf of the eldest lady." The former army of the Xiliang Army has now gone to Yanzhou, and the second master Shen may not be able to vacate it, but the Chinese army that will arrive in the near future, the person in command is my uncle, and it is no problem to ask my uncle to mention it in the court. ”
The Chinese army set out several days earlier than Jiang Zheng, but the march of the army was no faster than that of a small group of 'elite' men and horses who sent the letter here. So he was left behind by Jiang Zheng.
In any case, with the current strength of Gyeonggi, if the Shen family asks Huo Zhao's 'jade' not to embarrass Song Zaishui, then Huo Zhao's 'jade' will definitely not stop her anymore.
Song Zaishui breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a sense of 'excitement': "There is Lao Jiang's 'attendant' to guard you to run this trip." ”
Jiang Zheng just reported the good news, and he didn't talk about Wei Changying's entrustment, and after not daring to say that he didn't dare at the moment, he said that there were a few good 'jade' in the 'jade' mine in Meng's mountain, and Wei Changying planned to find the Ye family's skilled craftsmen to make a move, and treat a few good 'jade' carvings to his nephew to congratulate. It's just that she is in Xiliang and is not familiar with the Ye family, so she wants to ask Song Zaishui to help inquire whether there are still such craftsmen among the remaining clansmen of the Ye family.
Song Zaishui thought for a while and said, "I have carved things several times in their house earlier, but I am quite familiar. As far as I know, several people of their generation who are good at carving, but all but one died at the hands of the Rong people. The remaining one is named Ye Yi, and now it should be in Gyeonggi. ”
Just said a few possible places, and asked Jiang Zheng to send someone to find it himself - after Su Xiuming and Su Xiuwei retreated from the imperial capital, the people who were left behind and had no time to retreat, including the servants of the world, were all killed by Huo Zhao's 'jade'. Song Zaishui is now serving a few people around her, and they are all her mother's subordinates, and she is about to leave the imperial capital next, but she can't spare her hands to help Jiang Zheng find someone.
Fortunately, the Xiliang army is constantly rushing over, and Jiang Zheng is unlikely to be short of people.
…… asked Jiang Zheng to go down to have some food before leaving, Song Zaishui 'rubbed' his eyebrows and asked, "Husband is still in Xinzhou?" ”
"The last time I sent a message was like this." An aunt whispered, "There has been no new news lately. ”
"He doesn't know what's going on." Before, because Su Yuwu did not have many troops in his hands, it was completely impossible to pass through Xu Zongwen's territory, so he took advantage of the Rong people to go south, and led himself as a 'lure' bait to lead Xu Zongwen into the encirclement of the Rong people. Although Xu Zongwen was killed by him that time, Su Yuwu himself was not lightly injured, and tens of thousands of Qingzhou troops under his command were almost disabled.
Some of the guards took him to copy the path day and night, and took advantage of the news that the Rong people were breaking through the bamboo to take Yanzhou to shake the whole country, and only then did they get rid of the pursuit of Xu Zong's Ministry of Culture.
fled to the territory of Shinshu, and only then did he have the kung fu to contact Song Zaishui.
Because I was afraid of being discovered by Huo Zhao's 'jade', this contact was carried out under the confirmation of absolute safety, and the latest news was also at the beginning of the year.
In that news, it was said that Su Yuwu was not lightly injured, and there was no 'medicine' and no doctor on the way to escape, and the situation was very bad.
Song Jae-shui was very worried about him...... It's just that this kind of emotion doesn't dare to be 'revealed' yet, for fear that Huo Zhao's 'jade' people will hide in a corner and see the flaw.
Now the army of my cousin-in-law's family is here, and my cousin has made it clear that she wants to help her in order to relieve her breath.
Another aunt saw her sorrow and comforted: "Gongzi Taji people have their own natural appearance. ”
"Young lady, let's pack up our things now, if Master Huo doesn't stop us, do you really want to go to Fengzhou? Or go to Shinshu? The aunt who had spoken earlier tried to change the subject.
Song Zaishui said: "Of course, I went to Fengzhou." Over there in Shinshu, the husband's situation is not very good, and they can't take care of the husband, didn't I go to add 'chaos' to them? Besides, who knew that Huo Zhao's 'jade' was in the way of the Shen family, and he released people on the surface, and who was sent to wait for the opportunity to do it 'privately'? ”
The two aunts glanced at each other, and were embarrassed: "But there are only a few 'guards' in our family now, and I'm afraid it won't be peaceful even if we go south to Fengzhou." ”
"Isn't the Chinese army of the Xiliang Army coming soon? Even if Shen Yaoye is inconvenient to lend someone to me...... I'm going to find Wei Xinyong! Song Zaishui bit his lip and said, "Over the years, I have helped him so many times, and there is some compensation, so it should be calculated!" ”
"Actually, it's a long time coming, why do you have to settle the settlement so early, Mrs. Song?" Two days later, Wei Xinyong poured tea in person, and said lightly with some regret.
Song said expressionlessly on the water: "I may be able to say the word "long in the future", but as for you, I don't believe it." Before Aunt Huang, who was next to Chang Ying, went back to Xiliang, I asked her, if you take care of your body and bones, you may not be able to live a long life. According to the way you '' now, it is estimated that you will not have a few years to live. If I hadn't asked about it sooner, who knows when you'll suddenly die? ”
Hearing this, Wei Xinyong was not angry, but laughed and said: "This also makes sense." I thought you were about to reunite with Su Yuwu now, so I was afraid that it would be difficult to see me after this farewell, so I came to me in a hurry! ”
Song Zaishui said lightly: "You don't have to take my words, I will go to Fengzhou this time, there is a shortage of manpower, and I have to ask you to borrow some soldiers and horses from the King of Yong to escort me." The Panzhou and Jinzhou that he passed through on his way to Fengzhou were his territory. There aren't many places to actually escort, so that's just a matter of words to you, right? ”
"This should be an addition to our conversation today." Wei Xinyong thought for a moment and said, "Whether it can be negotiated or not, in short, I will have someone escort you to Ruiyu Hall." ”
"You want to pay the bill?!" Song's face sank.
Wei Xinyong smiled and said, "That's it, when did I say that I was going to repay the debt?" ”
"Didn't you promise that as long as my Song family helped you get out of trouble, you would tell me what my father regretted all his life? How long have you been out of the Su family's pursuit now? Why talk about it again! Song Zaishui looked at him coldly, "I know that you are not what you used to be, and that King Yong is also quite powerful now." It's just that if you think that you can rely on my Jiangnan Song clan's accounts in this way...... You can try to see if I dare to die with you! ”
Wei Xinyong's smile remained unchanged: "But you Song family must 'figure out' this matter, and only I know about this matter in the whole world. Do you expect me to be dumber than a businessman, or do you expect me to be nobler than a businessman? I don't want to sit on the ground with you, you can at least give me some more benefits, right? ”
Song Zaishui can't wait to give him two slaps!
It's just that she looked at Wei Xinyong coldly for a moment, and in the end she still pressed it down, and said coldly: "There is no benefit, you either tell me, or you will be the enemy of my Song family from now on!" ”
"What Mrs. Song said is inappropriate, if I were afraid of the threat of your Song family, I would have said it a long time ago, and I would still use this matter to pinch you until now?" Wei Xinyong was not afraid, and said with a smile, "I don't open my mouth too much, like this, how about 10,000 taels of gold?" ”
"You don't open your mouth, the old saying is that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, so you can describe your greed!" Song Zaishui sneered and said, "Three hundred taels of gold, the most!" ”
"Three hundred taels of gold, is this treating me as an autumn wind?" Wei Xinyong shook his head, "Eight thousand taels, it can't be less!" ”
"Five hundred taels, less nonsense!"
"Seven thousand taels is about the same, your Song family lacks this little thing?"
"There is no shortage and there is no need for you! Seven hundred taels! ”
"Tsk, five thousand taels, I've already given up half of it, you are a little rich anyway!"
"How can you calculate the wealth of my family by yourself? At most, I'll make up a whole number of 1,000 taels! ”
Seeing Song Zaishui's resolute attitude, Wei Xin sighed and said, "One thousand taels of gold? It's okay, but, 10,000 taels have a description of 10,000 taels, 1,000 taels, I'll remind you at most of the key points, can you figure it out, that's your business! ”
Song Zaishui was so angry that he got up: "You!! ”
