Chapter 46: A Helping Arm (Plus)
No matter what the secret is and hurts his wife and children, Wei Xuan absolutely can't bear this kind of thing, and immediately came to Fan's family. When Fan Shi, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, saw Wei Xuan's angry appearance, he knew why he came from, and couldn't help but say weakly: "Don't be angry, Xuan'er will make the decision for you." ”
Wei Xuan bowed deeply and said, "The child wants to see that servant." ”
Fan hesitated for a moment and said, "Bring someone here." ”
Suddenly, two servants came to the hall with a maid. The maid was sixteen or seventeen years old, with a mediocre appearance, disheveled clothes and whip marks, and evidently had suffered a lot. Indeed, Cai Yan had the hope of the Wei family in her belly, and she almost killed her, and the Fan family was angry in her heart, so she was naturally ruthless.
Wei Xuan saw that the maid was already dying, sighed softly, and asked, "Say, who instructed you to do it?"
The maid reluctantly raised her head, and said in a weak voice: "No one instructed it, it was the maid who couldn't see the young lady's good, and did it herself." ”
Wei Xuan sneered: "If you harm my wife and children, naturally you can't be left behind! However, if you say the person who commanded it, I can still spare your family." Otherwise, huh!"
The maid shuddered, gritted her teeth and said, "Second son, you are so vicious!"
Wei Xuan said lightly: "You don't even want to let go of the fetus in the womb of the young lady, when it comes to being vicious, this son is too much worse than you!"
"This ......" the maid was speechless for a while, and said for a while, "If the maid said it, would the son really be willing to let go of the maid's family?"
Wei Xuan said: "My son is true to his word. ”
The maid finally made up her mind and said, "Okay! ”
It turned out that it was the Yang family who gave her a golden hairpin and asked her to put musk in Cai Yan's white fungus soup. Otherwise, where would she, a little maid, get such a precious medicinal herb as musk? Yang also promised that no matter whether the matter was done or not, CD would give her family another 500,000 yuan as compensation. This maid's family is also a slave of the Wei family, and with this 500,000 yuan, it is enough for them to redeem themselves, buy some land, and live a free and easy life.
Wei Xuan listened to her and turned his head to look at Fan.
Fan coughed twice and said, "From today onwards, let the Yang family be grounded in the room." Xuan'er, do you think it's good to deal with it like this?"
In fact, from the very beginning, Fan could guess that this matter was related to the Yang family. After all, there is a big Wei family, if someone doesn't want Cai Yan to conceive a child, it can only be the Yang family. Because the Yang family has been married for more than ten years, nothing has come out. In case Cai Yan gives birth to a boy and Wei Kai has no heirs, the Wei family's property will fall into the hands of Wei Xuan in the future.
But the Fan family didn't want to make a big deal about it, firstly, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized; second, the Yang family came from the Taishan Goat family, and the Taishan Goat family was a well-known family in Shandong, so she didn't want to have a bad relationship with the Yang family; third, she handed over the gold bracelet that symbolized the power of the family to Cai Yan, and felt a little sorry for the Yang family in her heart. Therefore, Fan's thought about calming things down. As for whipping this maid to death, it was not to torture the instigators behind the scenes, but just to punish this maid.
Wei Xuan sighed and said, "The child wants to take Zhao Ji to live in a suburban courtyard, and I hope that my mother will approve it." ”
is just confined to the family, and the result of the disposal of the Yang clan obviously cannot satisfy Wei Xuan. But in this era, filial piety comes first, and children have no right to refute the decisions made by parents, and Wei Xuan can only express his dissatisfaction through this method. On the other hand, Wei Hong and Fan are not Wei Xuan's biological parents after all, if they live together, Wei Xuan will have to ask them for peace sooner or later, and he will inevitably feel awkward in his heart, and he also wants to take this opportunity to separate from them.
Fan knew that he was at a loss, so he had to agree: "It's okay to stay for a few days, you can go and pick a few more maidservants." ”
Wei Xuan shook his head and said, "Those maids and slaves, the children can't believe it. The child has his own soldiers, so there is no need to bother. ”
In a word, Fan's face was flushed, but he couldn't make a sound.
Wei Xuan glanced coldly at the maid who was kneeling on the ground, and left. As for the Yang family, Wei Xuan will not let it go easily, he already has a plan in his heart.
......
The Wei family's suburban courtyard was not far from Dong Zhuo's military camp, which was also convenient for Wei Xuan to come and go. And Cai Yan has been living with his father since he was a child, and he is not used to the strict rules of a wealthy family. Coming to the suburban courtyard surrounded by willows, the family's mood became relaxed.
That night, Wei Xuan transferred a hundred sergeants to serve as guards in this suburban courtyard. This kind of fake public and private behavior is not done by Wei Xuan alone, so it does not seem abrupt. It's just that what Wei Xuan didn't expect was that Jia Xu actually followed.
Wei Xuan let Jia Xu into the study, personally made a bowl of tea for him, and said, "Wenhe, you come and taste it." ”
In these years, what people drink is not called tea, but tea soup. Although it is also brewed from tea, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and various spices must be added, and the fragrance of the tea itself has long been lost. Of course, this is also a helpless thing, after all, people at this time did not know how to fry tea, and these condiments were added to remove the bitter taste. Wei Xuan's tea leaves were fried by his own hands, and although they were not the new tea of the year, the taste was very different.
Jia Xu looked at the turquoise color, took a sip lightly, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and said, "It's so fragrant!"
In the 21st century, Wei Xuan liked to drink tea, and he also learned to fry tea a few times when traveling, but he was not a professional tea maker after all, and the processed tea could only be regarded as very ordinary. However, compared to those tea soups with all five flavors, it is much better.
Wei Xuan took out a paper bag and said, "If you like it, I'll give these to you." ”
Jia Xu thanked him and said, "There is no merit in vain, and my subordinates also have a gift to give to the adult." ”
Wei Xuan exclaimed, "Oh, I don't know what kind of gift it is?"
Jia Xu was not in a hurry, took out a book and said: "This is the roster of 3,300 sergeants under the command of the lord, and the subordinates have already sorted it out. ”
There are not many Chinese in the Western Liang Army, and the management is relatively chaotic, and there is no complete roster. Wei Xuan originally wanted to do this, but he never had his hands free. Unexpectedly, Jia Xu didn't need his instructions, and had already helped him do everything.
Wei Xuan couldn't help but arch his hand: "But there is Mr. Lao Wenhe." ”
Jia Xu laughed and said: "With the talent of an adult, I will not be willing to stay under the former general for a long time." The subordinates dare to ask the lord what he plans to do in the future?"
Wei Xuan was stunned for a moment, his face was gloomy, could it be that Jia Xu came to test himself for Dong Zhuo? However, thinking that although Jia Xu was Dong Zhuo's subordinate in history, he didn't seem to have offered a strategy to Dong Zhuo once, he calmed down again and asked rhetorically: "According to Wen He's opinion, what is Wei's plan?"
Jia Xu stroked the three short strands of beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "My subordinates think that my lord should find an opportunity to leave the former general and set up his own door! If the adult has this intention, his subordinates are willing to help the adult!"
