Huang Zhiyin thanked Le's and then sat down.

Leshi instructed her to prepare her luggage for Wei Zhao. Huang Zhiyin nodded in agreement, she had only been in the door for a day, and she obviously already knew how to gain a foothold in Wei Zhao's backyard.

However, the four beautiful maids were extremely quiet today, and they did not take the initiative to lean in front of Le's as usual.

When Huang Zhiyin left with the four maids, Wei Ji looked at this group of women, and her heart was really beautiful in their own way, weak and gorgeous, full of colors and colors, it was already lively, and now she has a concubine before she marries a wife, and she doesn't know how Wei Zhao's future wife will deal with it. However, looking at this group of maidservants, including the Huang family, they are all from poor families, Wei Ji guessed that the Le family can make such an arrangement, because he is sure that Wei Zhao will marry a noble girl of the scholar family.

Three days later, in the early morning, Wei Ji said goodbye to her mother, Yang took her hand and rubbed it gently reluctantly, although she didn't say anything, but the tenderness in her eyes made Wei Ji's nose sour and shed tears. Taking advantage of the maid's absence, Wei Jiao reached out to hug Yang's neck and whispered in her ear, "Mother, the maid is gone." ”

Wei Ji said goodbye to Yang, wiped away her tears, and left the house.

Only Hui Niang accompanied her on this trip. Originally, Wei Ji wanted to leave Hui Niang to take care of the Yang family, but Hui Niang was really relieved of her, and the Huang family had vacated the backyard as agreed these days, and soon let Yu Wei's family be connected, and it would be convenient for the two Wei mansions to be connected. Wei Ji has a lot of trust in Wei Shen Le's family, and Yang can be properly taken care of, so that she can leave with peace of mind.

Wei Ji's ox cart joins Wei Zhao. Everyone in the Wei family sent it out, and Wei Ji looked back frequently, until she couldn't see the Wei Mansion anymore, and her heart was sour and melancholy, indescribable.

Hui Niang wanted to take her into her arms, Wei Ji shook her head slightly, looked down at the man's clothes on her body, and said in her heart: The next time I come back, I will definitely make a name for myself in Yaji and get the products.

The road to Yuzhang was originally walked, and a group of cars and horses arrived in Xunyang County to settle down.

This night, Wei Ji was sleeping soundly, and was suddenly awakened by the sound of stopping the horse.

People who come in the middle of the night still ride horses at a gallop, it must be a little difficult. Wei Ji thought so, closed her eyes and continued to sleep, and after a while, there was a knock at the door.

She snapped her eyes open.

"Yudu," Wei Zhao's voice came, "open the door." ”

Wei Ji immediately agreed, and quickly put on her coat, her hair didn't have time to comb, she grabbed it casually, and went to open the door, although Wei Zhao's voice was the same as usual, but she thought of the sound of horses' hooves just now, and guessed that things should not be simple.

Wei Zhao walked in, closed the door slightly, and said straight to the point: "I received an urgent order from the army just now, I want to leave for Yanzhou immediately, I can't send you to Yuzhang." ”

Wei Ji was stunned when she heard this, frowned slightly, and blurted out, "Northern Expedition"

Wei Zhao's expression changed suddenly.

Wei Ji was quite annoyed after saying this, but thinking of the results of this Northern Expedition, she felt that it might not be a bad thing.

Wei Zhao's eyes were dark, and he tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said, "How did Yudu guess the Northern Expedition?"

Wei Ji sat across the table, still very well-behaved, "A few days ago, my uncle met guests, I heard from them that Emperor Zhao died, the court was in chaos, and the prince of Linhe County wrote to the court to request the Northern Expedition. ”

Wei Zhao half-squinted and glanced at her.

His eyes couldn't see joy and anger, but Wei Ji beat a drum in his heart, and said stubbornly: "I heard them say that the Duke of Linhe County is now self-respecting with his army, how can the court use him, but Cheng Han is dead, and Hou Zhao is in chaos, it is a good time for the Northern Expedition to take Luoyang." ”

Wei Zhao said: "You have a good memory, you have written down everything they said."

Wei Ji thought that it was impossible to really go back to her uncle to verify it anyway, so she nodded and said, "The prince of Linhe can't go, the court wants to send another person, I don't know who the second brother was recruited."

Wei Zhao said: "Yin Hao." ”

Wei Ji asked on purpose, of course she knew that Yin Hao was a person, and it was the imperial court's intention to promote and reuse it to check and balance the Huan family. It's a pity that Yin Hao is a man with great ambition and talent, and has no command talent, the Northern Expedition was defeated, and after he came back, he was settled by Huan Wenqiu, and later abolished as a concubine.

Wei Ji had also heard about this past when he was in the Xie family in his previous life, not only knew the results of the Northern Expedition, but also knew that Yin Hao was reused by the promoters of the Xie and Wang families, and the imperial uncle Sima Yu was involved.

This Northern Expedition was not a simple conquest, but also a court game.

What Wei Hao is worried about is that Wei Zhao has made meritorious contributions and has been awarded an official position, and he has been branded by the Huan family, why does Yin Hao want to sign Wei Zhao this time.

"Second brother," Wei Ji said, "Yin Hao and Linhe Jungong are friends and foes, I'm worried about ......."

Wei Zhao looked at her quite unexpectedly, and after a while, he gently held her hand and said: "Yin Hao has no talent, the court only considered checks and balances in the selection of him, but he did not know people, Hou Zhao is chaos, Yin Hao is not much better here, a plate of scattered sand, and delusional that the Northern Expedition will succeed in one fell swoop, I think he is dreaming." ”

Wei Ji said secretly: I can only tell the reason if I know the result, but the second brother only judges the result based on the situation, this vision and calculation are really amazing.

She hurriedly said, "Then you refuse to be called and don't go." ”

Wei Zhao listened to her soft pleading, his eyes were full of worry about him, and under the dim light, his eyes seemed to reflect him.

Wei Zhao's heart was slightly hot.

"No, I have to go."

The author has something to say:

Today, my friend suggested that I change it later, so I will change it now

Chapter 30: Reunion

Wei Ji was puzzled.

Wei Zhao's eyes were dark, his fingers rubbed unconsciously, and the rough fingertips touched the delicate skin of the clan brother, and then he realized it, and let go of his hand, "There is a winning way to play, and there is a losing way to play."

Wei Zhao didn't explain, The younger brother in front of him is still young, and he has only been reading, although he is smart and surprisingly sees things thoroughly, but he is still a scholar mentality, and he has never seen the real battlefield. Even if Chongwen is light on martial arts now, but what is the end of the matter, the Huan clan, who controls the military power of the eight states, suppresses Wang Xie and can hardly breathe, and the Sima clan can only contain it, and always appease Huan Wen.

Since ancient times, if the children of the scholar clan only rely on the shadow of their ancestors and forget how the glory of their ancestors came about, they will fall sooner or later. He is now a feudal general, but there are not many soldiers in his hands, if he doesn't go to the blood field of the sand sea, how can he really hold the power.

There seemed to be a flame burning in the depths of his eyes, exuding something hot and scorching, or ambition.

Wei Ji was worried, there was no news about this second brother in his previous life, as if he did not exist in the world. She racked her brains to think about whether it should have happened in the Northern Expedition in the next year or two. Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still, and pulled Wei Zhao's sleeve, "Second brother, don't go." Yin Hao regards Linhe Jungong as an enemy, and he doesn't really want to use you, maybe he wants to harm you. ”

Wei Zhao has never encountered a situation where she is begged to be spoiled like this by her younger brother, and she is not overly requested, but she is purely worried about his safety. Wei Zhao's heart seemed to be pinched heavily, but his face was still calm, and he said, "I have been called and must go." ”

Wei Jiao's begging was fruitless, and her anxiety was all written on her face, she had already made it clear that there was a contradiction between Yin Hao and the Duke of Linhe, but she couldn't tell Wei Zhao to dispel her mind.

"Second brother." Wei Ji called in a low voice.

Wei Zhao said: "I have already asked people to go to Luo's house, his family Langjun is good friends with me, you stay in the post house and wait for two days, he will come to pick you up." The house in Yuzhang City has been cleaned up, and you don't have to pay attention to the trivial matters at home. The letter of recommendation to Dr. Zhao is in the baggage I left behind, so don't forget to bring it with you when you go to apprenticeship. ”

Wei Zhao instructed carefully. In fact, for the children of the Shi clan at the age of fourteen, it is not uncommon to go out to travel, and Wei Zhao himself left home early. But looking at Wei Ji, he couldn't help but worry. Her face looked too bright and fragile.

Wei Zhao was about to leave after speaking, but Wei Zhao still dragged him without giving up.

Wei Zhao lowered his face slightly, "Yudu." ”

Wei Ji said: "Didn't Uncle Niang prepare a heart guard for you, did you put them on?"

The protective gear that Le asked people to add to Wei Zhao's luggage, Wei Ji saw the servant put it away, and since Wei Zhao had to go, she had to take a step back and remind him to bring it.

Wei Zhao frowned and said, "With cumbersomeness, it is not conducive to action." ”

"Uncle Niang has a motherly heart, but she can protect you well," Wei Ji said, "It's better to bring it, and let us rest assured." ”

Wei Zhao's thick eyebrows were only tightly furrowed, and in the end, he couldn't resist her soft pleas, and asked Huang Zhiyin to find out the protective gear and let Jiang Yu bring it. After such a toss, the sky has become a little brighter. Ling Yuanziju and a few others also heard that Wei Zhao was leaving, so they hurriedly dressed up one by one and waited at the door of the post house.

Wei Zhao left a group of guards and only took two of them with him, including Jiang Yu, who swept around everyone's faces and said to Huang Zhiyin: "You watch the affairs of the family, let Yudu study hard." ”

Huang Zhiyin has only been married to the Wei family for more than half a month, and Wei Zhao was recruited, and she was both reluctant and apprehensive.

Originally, two years ago, Wei Zhao was notorious, Wei Shen had already retired, and he was not an official in the court, and the girls of the Jiangxia Shi clan were reluctant to marry with the Wei family.

But Huang Zhiyin was unwilling at that time, although she was not from the scholar family, she was favored since she was a child, and she was born with a beautiful face and moon appearance, read poetry and books, and thought that she was worthy of any scholar family, so why choose Wei's family, who is difficult to improve when the rivers are going down. She cried and made trouble at home for many days, but resolutely refused to allow it, and the elders had to give up.

In the next few years, Huang Zhiyin deeply realized the gap between the poor families of the Shi clan, no matter how beautiful and talented she was, she could only be a concubine, and she was only an inferior Shi clan, if she wanted to be a wife, she could only choose some stupid, lame and deaf. Huang Zhiyin gradually became cold from full of expectations, and when she thought that she could almost marry into the Wei family, she regretted not being at the beginning.

After such twists and turns, after two years, she finally entered the Wei family, but she was a concubine.

Huang Zhiyin knew that Wei Zhao had made meritorious service as a four-rank general, and she was moved when she saw Wei Zhao's face that night, but Wei Zhao was lukewarm to her, and it seemed to be no different from the four maids, and she was remorseful and regretful in her heart, she only hated that her eyelids were too shallow, such a heroic and heroic Lang Jun, she was beautiful, and she was not a pair made in heaven.

The good marriage actually made her toss away, and Huang Zhiyin regretted it too late.

At present, Wei Zhao specially instructed her before leaving, explaining that she had the final say in the backyard of Yuzhang's mansion. Huang Zhiyin cheered up again, and she wanted to take care of the backyard well, so that Wei Zhao knew the difference between her and the four maids, and asked him to look at her differently.

"Lang Jun can rest assured, the concubine will take care of the family and take care of Xiao Langjun." Huang Zhiyin said.

Wei Zhao nodded slightly, turned over on his horse, looked at Wei Ji again, and left with the guards on horseback.

Until the back was almost out of sight, Huang Zhiyin urged a few people to go back, and spoke to Wei Ji ironically, asking her to go back to rest.

Wei Ji thought of her previous life, and she was always worried about Wei Zhao's going, but fortunately, she finally persuaded him to wear heart guards. Under her soft grinding and hard bubbles, Wei Zhao promised to wear it when he went to the battlefield.

Hui Niang saw her frowning, and said: "I think Zhao Langjun is a real hero, even if his face is also rich and noble, he will be fine." ”

Wei Ji said: "When will Hui Niang see her face." ”

"I have seen a lot of people, so I can naturally see some of them, some of them are upright and extraordinary, and some of them are good-looking, but their speech and demeanor are down." Hui Niang said.

"What kind of second brother does it belong to?"

"Zhao Langjun is neither, if you want me to say, Zhao Langjun's momentum is even worse than your uncle's, sometimes he has a straight face, I am a little scared in my heart, and it will definitely be a few years later. Usually like this, there is an atmosphere on the body, Xiao Langjun doesn't have to worry too much. ”

Wei Ji listened to what she said seriously, her brows relaxed slightly, and the depression in her heart really dissipated a lot.

Hui Niang tucked her futon and stayed by the side to watch her sleep.

I didn't know how long I slept, Wei Ji heard the sound of horses' hooves again, and suddenly woke up, and Gu Lu sat up, "Where did the voice come from, is the second brother back?"

Hui Niang opened the window and looked out: "There is a team of people here, and their behavior is not ordinary, it is none other than those surnames."

Wei Ji also walked over after approving her coat, and saw two carriages parked outside the post house, as well as servants and guards.

After a while, someone came upstairs, and the footsteps continued, and it was obvious that there were quite a few people who had settled at the inn.

Like Hui Niang, everyone inside and outside the post house also guessed what the identity of the person who came, and it was far from being owned by ordinary scholars, but it was Wang Xie Huan Yu, or Lu Gu Zhu Zhang in the south.

At dinner, Huang Zhiyin took the initiative to mention it to Wei Ji, and it was the same guess.

Wei Ji shook her head and said, "It's not these ones. ”

Huang Zhiyin said: "I have also seen several scholars in Jiangxia, far from being so powerful, and there are only a few surnames in the world's gate valve giant room. ”

Although she didn't say it explicitly, she insisted on her own opinion and disagreed with Wei Ji's judgment just now.

Wei Ji smiled and didn't say anything more.

After resting for the night, Wei Ji and his entourage waited for the Luo family to pick them up, and those who came yesterday did not move, and still stayed at the post house.

At this time, it was still the end of the first month, the weather was cold and precipitous, Wei Ji opened the window slightly, let the cold wind blow in, and the mind was more sober and read.

She was looking at the notes given to her by her eldest brother Wei Jin when she suddenly heard a whispering voice outside. Looking out of the window, it turned out to be a servant of the Wei Mansion when he passed by the backyard, and was swooped down on by a blackbird, and he screamed in fright.

In the afternoon, Hui Niang brought hot tea and fruits, and complained: "I don't know where the flat-haired beast came from, and it almost hurt people." ”

Wei asked her what was going on.

Hui Niang told her that a black bird was resting on the post house tree, and that whenever someone passed by with food in his hand, it would fly down and snatch it, and the bird did not know what kind of bird it was, and its wings were spread out especially widely, and it was thrown in the face as if it had been slapped, and the servants did not drive it away, so they had to avoid its location. Hui Niang was holding the food in her hand just now, but she was also pounced on by the evil bird, and her face turned pale with fright, and it took a long time to recover.

Wei Ji listened, pushed the window open, and sure enough, he saw a bird with black feathers standing on a branch, with a burning gaze like a mung bean, but it looked a little human.
