Chapter 24: Kindness and Filial Piety

"The queen mother took a fancy to the sixth uncle of the daughter-in-law's mother's family for Her Royal Highness Princess Qingxin?" Wei Changying almost stood up from the seat in surprise.

Because she didn't accompany Shen Zangning to the 'spring' grass lake, this period of Chenguang was divided with the Liu family: the Liu family was responsible for taking care of Shen Yongkun's wife, and she was responsible for visiting Pei Meiniang every day.

Although Pei Meiniang gave birth once, because the eldest 'daughter' Shen Shuxi went well during the fetus and delivery, she was a sick body, and she couldn't even explain the reason for Ji Qu's illness. So now, although this baby has long been cut off as the male heir that everyone is looking forward to, the closer it is to the delivery period, the more nervous it is still - I am afraid that this son will be like his sister, from conception to safe birth to childbirth, everything is fine, and finally there is a congenital deficiency and poor health...... Don't talk about Pei Meiniang, Shen Zhou and Shen Zanghui can't stand it anymore!

Therefore, Wei Changying asked Mrs. Su for peace every day these days, so she went over to accompany and explain her, and did not come back until the evening.

I just returned to Jintong Courtyard today and was invited to the upper room by the full hall, and I thought that Shen Shuguang was causing trouble here, but I didn't expect it to be related to Wei Xinyong.

Mrs. Su was obviously surprised: "Your sixth uncle's whereabouts are still unknown, but the person sent by the queen said it clearly, and the queen has taken a fancy to him." Yesterday, I sent someone to look for your father, and wanted your father to help him agree, but although your father met your sixth uncle, he didn't ask about his marriage. Speaking of which, your sixth uncle should have gotten married a long time ago, and he hasn't moved until now, but he doesn't know where your grandfather and grandmother are, but what are their plans? ”

Now the most qualified to ask about Wei Xinyong's lifelong events is, of course, Wei Huan and Mrs. Song. Shen Xuan didn't care whether he was sure to persuade Wei Xinyong in private or not, but he must first ask the meaning of these two. Especially now that Shen Wei has a good relationship, he can't save a gap because of this kind of thing.

Wei Changying's mind turned, remembering that the matter of Furong Zhou had passed for so many days, and the Gu family had not moved, but now it was Empress Gu who came over to ask Shen Xuan to thread the needle for Her Royal Highness Princess Qingxin...... Immediately speculated about what happened. Nine is not far from ten, so he said: "The daughter-in-law has never heard from her grandfather and grandmother about the marriage of the sixth uncle, but as far as the daughter-in-law knows, the sixth uncle is quite assertive, and I think it is because of this, so my grandfather and grandmother have not forced him to marry." ”

Mrs. Su heard that this was Wei Xinyong's marriage, and it was very likely that even Wei Huan's 'wife' could not be the master - she knew how 'smart' and powerful Wei Huan's 'wife' was, and these two could not completely make decisions about Wei Xinyong's marriage, it would definitely not be because they were unwilling or took the initiative to give Wei Xinyong this tolerance, it was very likely that Wei Xinyong's city government, in such a matter as a lifelong event, even Wei Huan's 'wife' did not have full confidence to control him.

It can be seen that it is difficult to say goodbye to Wei Xinyong, and Mrs. Su couldn't help frowning.

Seeing this, Wei Changying asked euphemistically: "Actually, the sixth uncle was coerced by the 'chaotic' army before, and there is no news until now. The daughter-in-law has always been worried in her heart, the queen will mention the marriage of the sixth uncle, is it possible that the whereabouts of the sixth uncle, the mother has the right letter? ”

"Where can the queen have any letters?" Mrs. Su shook her head and said, "But your sixth uncle is a 'smart' man, and with Mo Binwei, who is a 'fine' military strategy, I expect that he was just swept to the countryside by the 'chaotic' army, and he didn't find Yanzhou for a while." Just look at the face of your sixth uncle, he is a rich and noble person, and nothing big will happen. ”

"But Gu Ergongzi has been bedridden for several days...... Wei Changying reminded softly, "The sixth uncle of the daughter-in-law doesn't know when he will be able to return to Yanzhou?" "The road from Yanzhou to Fengzhou is not close, and you have to cover up your tracks on this road, at least you can't let people bump into the appearance of Wei Xinyong and Mo Binwei. Even if Wei Huan responds to Fengzhou, he has to choose the most suitable time...... All in all, within a month or two, Wei Xinyong will definitely not be able to come back.

And Gu Yan is here, how can it drag on for two months? It has been delayed for almost half a month now, and if it drags on any longer, the Gu family in Hongzhou will be scolded to death.

Mrs. Su was silent for a moment, then looked at her and said, "It is said that your sixth uncle's parents are deceased, although he has his own opinions, but how important is this marriage matter, it is still reliable for the elders to check it, don't you say?" ”

Wei Changying's heart sank, and she understood that her mother-in-law was going to put this errand on herself - Wei Xinyong's people couldn't find it for a while, but the marriage contract may not be set first. Even if it is not public, the certificate can be 'handed over' in private.

But who is qualified to marry Wei Xinyong, who else can there be besides Wei Huanfu's 'wife'?

And Wei Xinyong is talented, because of his 'private' enmity with Zhibentang, it is still a good chess piece for Wei Huan's husband and 'wife', although Princess Qingxin is a golden branch 'jade' leaf, now that the Great Wei Guozuo is about to end, this princess identity is worthless if she is not careful. Wei Huanfu's 'wife' is now using Wei Xinyong, how can she pit him like this?

What's more, Wei Xinyong is young and handsome, and he is talented, so he can completely give Rui Yutang a more beneficial in-law?

In this case, if you want Wei Huanfu's 'woman' to forcibly make the decision and let Wei Xin Yong still be the master, only Wei Changying can do it.

After all, Old Madam Song had a great influence on Wei Huan, and in many places, even Wei Huan could not oppose her will. And Mrs. Song's love for her grandson and granddaughter' is well known. Although Wei Xinyong is very valuable, in the eyes of Mrs. Song, he must not be comparable to Wei Changying.

The problem is that Wei Changying doesn't want to agree to this matter from the bottom of her heart - not to mention that if Wei Xinyong opposes this matter, according to her understanding of this uncle, this uncle will use some 'yin' tricks to dismantle the stage; let's just say that she doesn't like Princess Qingxin herself, originally she didn't have a good relationship with Wei Xinyong's sixth uncle, but many times she still had to 'deal' with him, and then humiliate Princess Qingxin who was sad for her, even if there was no big hatred, it was uncomfortable in the end.

This kind of 'private' grievance is actually secondary, and more importantly, Princess Qingxin is only fourteen years old, and Queen Gu is so eager to let her descend or even to be married, so eagerly, without going through the process of repeatedly selecting candidates for the concubine when the normal princess descends, obviously the queen does this, the so-called Zhongwei Xinyong is just a disguise, and the real intention is to support the orphan.

After all, the Holy One has now made it clear that he doesn't care about future generations, but only wants to enjoy himself to the end. The East Palace has also changed - the queen wants to think about the 'daughter', so naturally she can only find someone who can be entrusted to lower her as soon as possible.

Otherwise, once the Great Wei Fuzuo is exhausted, what good fate can the princess of the dead country have? Not to mention that Princess Qingxin passed on the beauty of Queen Gu, and when she was a 'girl' child, she was more beautiful than Xizi, and now she is in her prime, and she doesn't know how to close the moon and be ashamed of 'flowering'. This kind of beauty coupled with the identity of the princess of Da Wei was the envy of countless people when Da Wei was still alive, once Da Wei died or could not provide her with shelter, it would be a crime of Huaibi.

…… Not to mention that for Empress Gu, after the fall of the Great Wei Dynasty, Princess Qingxin was unsheltered, and the fate was worrying or far-sighted, and the immediate worry in front of her was that the scholars could no longer bear the saint, and almost half-brightly and half-secretly planned to promote the crown prince to ascend the throne in advance. Now that the prince's biological mother, Zhou Baolin, was killed by Queen Gu herself, after the prince ascended the throne, how could he let her and her knees 'daughter' go?

And the queen's brother Gu Xiaode is so loyal to the saint that he does not hesitate to offend the other scholars for this. At that time, the Shi clan will definitely not pay attention to Shen Bo's revenge on Empress Gu's mother and son, and even the Gu family in Hongzhou.

Therefore, Queen Gu will choose Wei Xinyong, a son of Valve, with a background and a backstage, at least for now, Wei Huan still supports him, even if it is not as good as the support for Wei Zhenghong and Wei Changfeng, after all, the background is deeper than that of the children of the Shu clan; And he is also the prince's horse washer, Shenbo's confidant; As well as his own talent and deep city, as long as he is willing, he will definitely be able to protect Princess Qingxin.

Looking at it, Wei Xinyong is indeed the most suitable candidate.

However, from Empress Gu's point of view, it is excellent to give the 'daughter' to Wei Xinyong. But from Wei Xinyong's side, why is he still Princess Qingxin?

The princess is extremely beautiful, and now her status is also noble. But the trouble brought by the Shang lord is not small: once the Great Wei Dynasty falls, it will bring the embarrassment of not having the help of the Yue family and after the establishment of the new dynasty, will he be at risk of being excluded because he is the concubine of the previous dynasty...... Like Empress Gu who is jealous of Prince Shenbo, Princess Shang Qingxin, for Wei Xinyong, the biggest problem at the moment is that he can easily coax Shenbo to trust him, what if he is suspicious of Shenbo because of this Shang master?

It is conceivable that if Empress Gu directly approached Wei Xinyong to discuss this matter - if Wei Xinyong was in the imperial capital now - Wei Xinyong would definitely insist on refusing!

And in the current situation, Queen Gu really can't find anyone with enough weight to be the matchmaker for her...... Fortunately, Shen Xuan took the 'daughter' to trick Gu Yan, and Gu Yan had a ruthless and decisive father.

Dealing with her own brother, Queen Gu still has some grasp and experience.

She saw this opportunity, obviously asking the palace people to put pressure on Shen Xuan about Shen Zangning's future; Secretly, it was through this matter that the Shen family put pressure on Wei Changying.

She tried her best for her 'daughter' Qingxin' and 'fine', and the old lady Song who was far away in Fengzhou was not a person who was willing to do everything and did anything for her descendants?

Unlike Wei Huan, who focuses on the entire Fengzhou Wei family, although Mrs. Song also hopes that the Wei family will prosper, this is all based on the fact that this prosperity does not damage her own flesh and bones. Wei Changying knew that if she immediately wrote back to Fengzhou to cry and ask her grandmother for help, her grandmother would probably not refuse her request.

But......

She glanced at Shen Shuguang, who was being played by the little maid in the courtyard of the hall, and a helpless and resolute smile appeared on her lips: they are all mothers of two children, is it difficult for her to encounter something, or is there no other way than to ask her mother's family for help?

The grandmother, who has long had gray temples and the grandmother who regarded her as a jewel, had already reached the age of retirement, but because of the eldest son and the young grandson, she had worked too much for many years. Now that Wei Zhenghong has recovered, Wei Changying and Wei Changfeng are also old, it is time to take over all the troubles, so that Mrs. Song can enjoy the joy of family without worry...... Wei Changying's long eyelashes moved, and he didn't directly answer Mrs. Su's urgent question, but said softly: "Mother, the daughter-in-law has an idea. ”
