Chapter Forty-Eight: The Ruthless Father

Wei Changying looked at the brothers and sisters in the hall.

The elder brother Wen Zhiqi is thirteen years old, and the younger sister Wen Yulan is eleven years old. However, the eyebrows and eyes are quite upright - Wen Yulan is more delicate.

It seems that she is more bold to be a younger sister, and after she saluted, she looked curiously at the surrounding furnishings. Judging from her expression, she should not have been to the back hall of a scholar like Mingpeitang.

But this is not surprising, Wen Yanzi's current territory is near Panzhou and Jinzhou, and there are no big families. Not to mention the ancestral hall of the Xiliang Shen family, how many generations have been in operation, and every grass and tree has infiltrated the bearing of the wang clan, which can be compared with the ordinary scholars?

And when he heard that Qi Da had been restrained since he entered the door. After he was invited to sit down by Wei Changying with a smile, he sat there in a proper manner, silent like a shy little girl.

Shen Shujing's sisters looked at him a few more times, and saw that this boy even had a red neck.

Seeing this, Shen Shujing, Ji Yiren, and Shen Shuxi all covered their mouths and smiled.

It's just that Wei Changying looked at them and found that Shen Shuyan, who had been reluctantly invited, was still sitting there indifferently, looking neither sad nor happy, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

"Gongzi Wen and Miss Wen will stay in our house for a few days, you have met today, and you will have to be more intimate in the future." It seems that we have to continue to grind, Wei Changying thought to herself, retracted her gaze, and smiled and spoke. Introduce to both parties.

…… Wen Yanzi made up his mind to seize this opportunity and suppress the Shen family.

even asked Liu Rong to send a pair of children under his knees.

According to Wei Changying's knowledge, although Wen Yanzi has accepted several concubines one after another after the incident, his current children are still only four sons and one daughter born to the original Qiu family.

Their eldest son had died three years ago trying to save him, and the second son had died in battle last year. That is to say, now he only has two sons and one daughter under his knees, and now he has sent his young son and only daughter over as hostages to earn the reputation of not hesitating his own flesh and blood in order to drive away Hu Lu......

When Wei Changying knew the arrival of Wen Zhiqi and Wen Yulan, the complexity in his heart was difficult to describe in words.

is so decisive and ruthless, she doesn't know what kind of mood Qiu Shi is in at the moment as the mother of Wen Zhiqi and Wen Yulan.

But if one day, Shen Zangfeng wants to do something similar, she will stop everything she says. Even if the two break up, even if they risk their own lives!

In order to seize the rivers and mountains of the world, she doesn't care about using many means. hypocrisy, fraud, betrayal, murder...... Didn't she regret that she didn't kill Mo Binwei when she had the opportunity before? But what grudge does Mo Binwei have against her? However, Wei Changying didn't feel any guilt in his conscience for killing him - but children are different.

Slowly, this Great Wei River and Mountain, even if she is given immortality, she will not want it.

…… After Wei Changying knew about the two brothers and sisters, he said that he didn't want to keep them.

Don't ask Shen Zangfeng about this kind of thing, a few of them will know, since Wen Lingzi is willing to say hello and send them directly as hostages, he is obviously ready to sacrifice them at a critical moment.

So this so-called hostage has no meaning at all.

Not to mention that before the two sides turned their faces, the lintel of the Shen family couldn't do the thing of making the little brothers and sisters cows and horses. There is little food and clothing, and Wen Lingzi over there just symbolically gave some gifts as child support...... This is already a loss-making business.

Besides, now that the Rong people have invaded the Central Plains through the desert wilderness, the Shen family has a bad reputation.

The two brothers and sisters stayed in the Shen family, no matter whether the people of the world believed it or not, Mo Ye was Shen Shumo, the Shen family was unwilling to send troops to fight against the Rong in vain, and King Yong Wen sent his own children to Xiliang as hostages before saying that the name of the Shen family was settled.

Wen Lingzi thought well, giving up a son and a daughter, he could step on the Shen family to win the hearts of the people?

Is it true that the Shen family is dizzy?

Therefore, Wei Changying insisted on only admitting that Wen Zhiqi and Wen Yulan went to Xiliang to play.

On the day Shen Shujing leaves the pavilion, they will also return to Wen Yanzi's side with them.

Liu Rong made excuses several times to let her stay, but Wei Changying unceremoniously refused, and in the end he had to retreat to the second, saying that Wen Yanzi had admired the Shen family's family style for a long time, and hoped to take this opportunity to let the Wen Zhiqi brothers and sisters have a look.

The meaning of the words is that he wants the Wenzhi Qi brothers and sisters to live in the back hall.

Regarding this, Wei Changying agreed after thinking about it.

First, since they heard that the Qi brothers and sisters would go back in a few days, no one could say that they were hostages on this trip, even if they had lived in Ming Peitang. In this case, Wei Changying felt that there was no need to lose his manners; The second is that the brother and sister are not very old, even if they don't know much, they can always talk something.

So after the two sides reached an agreement, after Wen Zhiqi and Wen Yulan met Wei Changying and Shen Zangji in the front hall, they were taken to the back hall by her and summoned everyone to get to know each other.

At this time, the identities of the two brothers and sisters are not important to the Shen family, and it is not easy to say that they are not important.

The pregnant Huo Qingling and the happy Shen Zangzhu, Wei Changying didn't bother, and only called all the juniors over.

Among them, Shen Shuyan didn't want to come, but Wei Changying had to ask her to come, this niece is becoming more and more silent, which is not a good phenomenon. Before she asked Shen Shuyan to teach a few little maids to read and write, she deliberately selected a group of little girls who were not very afraid of life and loved to laugh, planning to lead Shen Shuyan back to cheerfulness.

As a result, Shen Shuyan slapped the few little maids who liked to talk to her the most, and now the little maids in that class saw her like a mouse saw a cat......

So now, as long as there is such an occasion with many people, Wei Changying must Shen Shuyan participate.

Therefore, when they saw Shen Shujing and the others, they all smiled and politely greeted the Wen family brothers and sisters about her introduction, but Shen Shuyan still sat there indifferently. Wei Changying frowned slightly, and then led the topic to her: "Miss Wen likes to read?" That's a coincidence, this is my fourth niece, whose name is Shuyan. It's not that my own family boasted about my family, this child was only three years old at the time, but she was recognized as a talented woman in the imperial capital. Most of her younger siblings' homework was taught by her! Well, let's talk about Shuxi at the bottom, but this kid taught him from the beginning of the painting. With this child at home, we don't have to invite Mr. into the back hall! ”

Sure enough, when she heard Yu Lan's eyes, she said solemnly: "I was born poor, and the most envious person is someone who knows books and courtesies!" Miss Shen Si is so talented, please don't hesitate to teach her in the future! ”

Shen Shuyan didn't bother to pay attention to her, but she was looked at by her aunt with a smile, and she didn't dare to pretend that she hadn't heard it. I didn't even look at Wen Yulan, and said lightly: "Aunt is just a false praise, don't take it seriously." ”

Seeing this, Wei Changying, Shen Shujing and the others all frowned slightly, this attitude was too perfunctory......

But what they didn't know was that Wen Yulan's temperament was frank and enthusiastic, especially her respect for learned people, and she had already reached the point of blindness. Shen Shuyan was forced by her aunt to perfunctory her, but Wei Xinyong was clearly driving people away!

It can be heard that Yu Lan is able to drive people away from him in a different way, and run over to please him with his best things seven or eight times a day!

Therefore, Shen Shuyan's attitude is not a problem at all in Wen Yulan's eyes!

"The young lady of a learned family is different, this demeanor is so noble!" Wen Yulan praised in her heart - this is not a nonsense, Shen Shuyan's etiquette and knowledge are indeed impeccable, in the end, it is the foundation of Duanmu Yan's strict training, and the aunts who raised her later are all from everyone.

But to be honest, because of her age and temperament, she is actually not as atmospheric as Shen Shujing in terms of style.

However, in Wen Yulan's eyes, no matter what kind of demeanor and temperament, it can't be compared with the word "learning".

Shen Shuyan, who was introduced as a talented girl by Wei Changying, just felt that she was more beautiful than all the ladies of the Shen family.

Now she is praising from the bottom of her heart: "Miss Shen Si is so talented and humble. The strange father often said that the six-valve Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the sea is beyond the imagination of ordinary people! ”

It can be seen that she really thinks so, and it is not a scene or sarcasm. Wei Changying and the others were a little speechless...... After thinking about it, Wei Changying showed a sly smile: "Since Miss Wen likes to be comfortable, why don't you live in a courtyard during this time?" ”

"Third aunt!" Seeing that Wen Yu Lan was about to nod happily, Shen Shuyan's face changed slightly, and said, "Third aunt, have you forgotten?" My yard is very small, and Miss Wen is a distinguished guest of our family, how can she be wronged like this? ”

As soon as she finished speaking, her sleeve was pulled by the eldest sister Shen Shujing - before the guest answered, the host refused first, which was too rude.

What's more, Shen Shuyan's wording seemed to be accusing Wei Changying of deliberately neglecting the Wen family brothers and sisters.

If this is an ordinary time, there are no outsiders, and Wei Changying will not be unable to tolerate it. But now that the Wen family brothers and sisters are in front of them, isn't this a clear dissolution?

Wei Changying's face sank, and he scolded lightly: "Who said that Miss Wen was allowed to live in your courtyard?" There are more rooms in our Mingpei Hall, and I have already ordered someone to pack up two sets of spacious, bright, and warm ones. When the time comes, you pack up and move over! ”

She was annoyed that Shen Shuyan was angry regardless of the occasion, and her tone would be heavier. After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Shen Shuyan's clenched lips, and changed his smiling face to the Wen brothers and sisters: "You can go to see the place first, if you don't like it, you can change it again, don't be polite!" ”

"Madame's preparation must be good." Hearing that Qi blushed and didn't speak, he only nodded his head vigorously, and Wen Yulan said sweetly, "Besides, with Miss Shen Si as a companion, you have your own scholarly courtyard, how can you not like it?" ”

Wei Changying thought that although this little girl was the daughter of Wen Yanzi, she was a very pleasant child, so she smiled and took off a bracelet: "Let's meet for the first time today, according to the rules, I, as an elder, can't help but express something." This bracelet was worn by my mother's family, and you will be able to use it in two years, and this head will also line your skin. ”

He also asked someone to take a jade pendant and gave it to Wen Zhiqi, "My eldest son has a piece of the same, this unicorn pattern, in the end, the boy's family has the spirit, and the intention is good!" ”

The Wen brothers and sisters didn't seem to know that they would receive a gift on the first day, and it was a jade bracelet and a jade pendant. According to them, it was a very expensive gift, and even Wen Yulan, who looked very generous before, stammered for a long time and didn't dare to ask for it.

In the end, Shen Shuyan felt that he couldn't stand it anymore to spend Chen Guang here to see them shirk, and said: "'The elder gives, don't dare to resign', haven't you read this sentence?" ”

…… After the brothers and sisters of the Wen family, who were terrified to accept the gift, went out, they took advantage of the fact that the Shen family who led the way was not paying attention, and discussed in a low voice: "Miss Shen Si is really everyone's demeanor, and she can quote allusions casually." ”

"You've put your things away, it's worth a lot of money. In case it is broken, you can't peel your skin when you go back? Wen Zhiqi's mind is all on the jade pendant in his arms, he was born poor, and in the past two years, Wen Lingzi's situation is good, but his ambition is also big, and he looks forward to the world with concentration, so he naturally has no mind and no ability to be extravagant.

He is not extravagant, and the Qiu family is used to living a hard life with him, and he can't be extravagant.

What's more, according to Qiu's thoughts, what are children doing with so many valuables on their bodies? One accidentally lost it, in vain! Therefore, when he heard that Qi, the son of King Yong, he could eat meat and wear silk every day, like the gold beads and jade made by the children of rich and noble families, he had no share......

This jade pendant is also the first precious thing in his life.
