Shui Qinlan's maternal status is also very prominent, her ancestor is one of the founding heroes of Dongyue, her grandfather's official position is high, and his father is the general of Dongyue, and after his death, he was posthumously named the general of the protector.

When her father Shui Guozhong was five years old, due to the border friction between the Northern Desert and Dongyue, the emperor sent him to the border to fight, and the war ended with Dongyue winning and reparations from all parts of the Northern Desert.

However, on the night of the victory, Shui Guozhong was assassinated and forgotten. The Shui family was in the same line in Shui Guozhong's generation, and he only had one daughter, Shui Qinlan.

Shui Qinlan's mother hanged herself when she learned of her husband's death. In this regard, the Shui family left Shui Qinlan and Sima Shui Siwei and their ancestors and grandsons to rely on each other.

The white-haired man gave it to the black-haired man, and Shui Siwei, who was already half-hidden, had no intention of re-entering the officialdom. Fortunately, the Dongyue royal family has been dedicated to the country for generations, not only posthumously crowning Shui Guozhong as the general who protects the country, but also marrying the eight-year-old Prince Jing of Shui Qinlan, who was only five years old at the time.

Since Shui Qinlan died of dystocia, Shui Siwei was heartbroken and vomited blood and fainted on the spot. Since then, the door of the Shui family has not been opened all year round, and the contact with the outside world has been almost cut off. Qian Chengjue remembered the merits of the Shui family, and also acquiesced in Shui Siwei's behavior.

Shui Siwei is a lot old, and he is really pitiful and has a lonely old man. Later, Qian Chengjing actually sent his three-year-old son Weiming to the Shui family to raise him, which can be regarded as a filial piety for Shui Qinlan, and it can be regarded as a little compensation for his guilt.

Although Qian Chengjing is not a good husband and son-in-law, he is a good father. His love for Weiming is seen by everyone, and over time, Shui Siwei is not like when Shui Qinlan first died, and he didn't wait to see him anymore, but there is still a connection in his heart.

The old man must be thinking about his great-grandson, after all, he won't live for a few years.

The quiet Sima Mansion is still covered with snow. In a huge house, there are only two masters and eight subordinates for a total of ten people, and there are fewer people walking on the road, so the snow will naturally stay.

In a wide practice field, Shui Siwei flexibly danced a silver spear, which had followed him for more than 70 years. Although he is no longer an official in the court and does not command the army, Shui Siwei still insists on morning exercises every day.

There is a little man on the edge of the dojo, who is building a snowman with residual snow, and there are nine of them in this dojo plus the snowman that has not yet been completed, which shows that this little man likes to play in the snow very much.

"Aunt Zhong, give Ming'er a pair of eyes." The immature child's voice remembered.

The woman on the side wore her hair in a bun, but she was only in her twenties, she used to be Shui Qinlan's personal maidservant, and now she takes care of Wei Ming full-time.

Aunt Zhong was actually not married, in order to concentrate on taking care of Weiming, and also to cut off her own or other people's thoughts, she deliberately tied her hair in a bun.

"Xiao Shizi, give." Aunt Zhong held a box in her hand and asked Weiming to choose it herself.

Wei Ming took a look, and finally chose two longans as the eyes of the snowman, and took the cut carrots as the nose, and finally pasted the pre-cut pieces of paper as the mouth, and wrapped the scarf around it, and everything was done.

"Great-grandfather, great-grandfather, look at the snowman your grandson builds." Wei Ming was very satisfied with his works and showed them to Shui Siwei with great interest.

Shui Siwei heard Wei Ming's voice, stopped what he was doing, put down the silver gun, walked to his grandson, and hugged him.

"The snowmen piled by Ming'er, each with its own characteristics." Shui Siwei said with a smile.

"Because they represent different people, that one is my maternal great-grandfather, this one is Aunt Zhong, and those two are Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang respectively...... "Wei Ming explained his works one by one, it turned out that he made all the people in the house look like snowmen.

Hahahaha...... Shui Siwei laughed heartily when he heard this, and even Aunt Zhong on the side was full of laughter.

"I guess the next snowman will be Ming'er herself."

"Where is this still guessed by my maternal great-grandfather." Faced with the guessed mind, Weiming didn't care.

Shui Siwei smiled, and then said with a kind face: "Have you played well in the morning, have you changed your practice?" ”

Wei Ming waved his little arm and thought down, "Ming'er should practice." ”

Shui Siwei put it on the ground, and as soon as he landed, he trotted two steps to find the desired position, then squatted down with his buttocks, bent his knees and tied up his horse steps, and clenched his little hands into fists at the sides of his waist.

Shui Siwei saw that he was doing well, and showed a pleased smile.

Aunt Zhong on the side saw Uncle Fang leading Qian Chengjing towards them from a distance, and the smile overflowing on her face slowly disappeared. Although Aunt Zhong is just a servant girl, Shui Qinlan treats her very well, she still remembers the days in the palace in those years, and remembers why Shui Qinlan gradually ended up like that, she hates, and she is not worth it for Shui Qinlan, but she is a maidservant girl and can't do anything.

When Shui Qinlan was dying, she was entrusted to take care of Weiming, but now that Weiming has not grown up, how can she do anything?

"Master, Lord Jing is here." King Jing, not my uncle.

Hearing this, Shui Siwei also put away his smile, but stood still, as if he didn't know.

Fang Bo and Qian Chengjing soon arrived at the dojo.

"Master, Lord Jing is here." Fang Bodao.

"Grandpa." Qian Chengjing called. Although he knew that he would not be treated well by this family, Qian Chengjing still insisted on doing so. seems to be trying to keep the evidence that he and Shui Qinlan are husband and wife in the world. He didn't want to follow the death of the other party, and everything would gradually drift away with the wind and disappear without a trace.

Shui Siwei looked back and said, "Ming'er is practicing, you're early." ”

"Ming'er's practice is important." Qian Chengjing echoed, he knew that Shui Siwei intended to pass on the family heirloom to Weiming. "Actually, I'm here for you today."

Shui Siwei raised his eyebrows slightly, "The old man has not asked about court affairs for many years, and as for private matters, the old man thinks there is nothing to talk about." ”

"Yes, Grandpa is right. But this time the situation is urgent, and it is related to the fate of the entire Dongyue, and I asked my grandfather to help. "Qian Chengjing's attitude is very sincere.

Without a military talisman, the garrison outside the city would not be sent by Qian Chengjing at all, and General Li would not even reply to him with a letter. If Shui Siwei comes forward, there may be a turnaround.

Shui Siwei waved his hand and said, "Dongyue's fate? I can't do anything as an old man, if you don't come to see Ming'er, go back. ”

"Grandpa, Dongyue may really be at stake at this time, the imperial brother has not been to the court for a few days, he may ...... Maybe...... Maybe...... It's almost gone! ”

Shui Siwei didn't expect Qian Chengjing to say such a thing, and there were still ripples in his heart. After all, the ancestors of the Shui family fought bloodily for him, and his son also died because of this, and the Shui clan shed blood and sweat for the Dongyue family, and even paid for his life, he couldn't watch it happen. However, is the matter really as serious as Qian Chengjing said?

"Is it really that serious?"

"I don't know the specific situation, but the news I have received so far is that the queen mother and the royal brother have been restricted in their freedom, and the royal brother is likely to be dying, and He Wu, the leader of the royal secret guard, was seriously injured in King Jing's mansion late yesterday night, and because the injuries were too serious, he was already dead."

"A few days ago, I wrote to General Li in secret, but there was no military talisman, and General Li simply ignored my message. Grandpa, if you come forward, he may listen to you. ”

"The most important thing is that the person who plots rebellion should be the emperor's brother's favorite Wu Guifei, but Wu Guifei has no children under her knees, with her character, she should not want to be a generation of empresses, so who are her accomplices?" After saying so much in one breath, Qian Chengjing finally stopped, but his next sentence made everyone present change color.

"Concubine Wu, she's not from Dongyue!"

"You mean ......"

"He Wu told me that there is often a man in Wu Na'er's identity recently, He Wu tried to follow him, but he was discovered, and then he was surrounded by a group of people, and it was difficult to defeat four hands with one punch, not to mention that the man who appeared next to Wu Na'er was extraordinary. That person, he didn't know, was fighting him for the first time. But he still recognized the other people's moves. ”

"Who is it?" Shui Siwei asked.

"Demon Cult." Although He Wu is the secret guard of the Dongyue Royal Guard, the imperial brother will also send him some tasks involving the rivers and lakes, so he knows a little about the people or things in the rivers and lakes.

"Demon Cult?"

"Yes." Qian Chengjing affirmed.

Shui Siwei's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking about the connection, "The Demon Sect, a Jianghu organization, no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to confront a country, and things are definitely not so simple." ”

"Grandpa, you mean ......"

Shui Siwei didn't answer Qian Chengjing's words, but his eyes kept falling on him, and he looked at the other party a little uncomfortable.

"Grandpa, what are you thinking?" Qian Chengjing asked.

Shui Siwei said: "The old man is thinking, what are you for?" ”

Although the other party didn't say it explicitly, Qian Chengjing also understood what he was referring to. So he met the other party's gaze and said, "No matter what I'm for, it's impossible for us to let Dongyue fall into the hands of others, and at this point, our goals are the same." ”

"You're not suitable." Qian Chengjue is not suitable either.

Qian Chengjing didn't expect the other party to say so directly, even if he wanted to get closer to the relationship between the two, he couldn't be completely angry at this moment.

"Grandpa, you look down on me so much! I'm the one Lan'er has a crush on. Qian Chengjing's tone was angry.

"Shut up, you are not qualified to mention Lan'er before me, she was blind when she fell in love with you to end up so miserably." When it came to Shui Qinlan, Shui Siwei's anger also came up, but when he saw Weiming not far away, he still tried his best to control it, otherwise he really wanted to beat up the dazzling person in front of him.

Shui Siwei took a deep breath, then tried his best to keep his tone calm, and said: "That position is not suitable for everyone, not everyone can do it well, that position not only represents the supreme power, but also represents the responsibility for the country and the people." ”

Of course, Qian Chengjing didn't listen to Shui Siwei's words, sometimes the desire for power can blind a person's ears, eyes and heart.
