"We also went to the main room this afternoon. What we drank at the table was obviously tea, but why was it lychee green? Grandma has been feeling unhappy these days. Who in our family knows about it? How could someone as stable as my sister-in-law do this? Such confusion? Two days ago, my sister-in-law said that if she hadn't been in charge of the family, she would have wanted to go to Su Mansion to serve her grandmother. It was all a misunderstanding." Wei Changying told Qin Ge, "Go to Xinyi Pavilion and talk to your elder brother. The eleventh daughter of the Liu family may not know that her grandmother is ill, so she is joking with her brother. Please don’t misunderstand me!"
Qin Ge understood, bowed, and left after receiving the order.
Wei Changying glanced at Yange, waited for Yange to go out and guard her, then turned around and asked Huang, "Auntie, do you see this Liu Ruoye?"
"She is a woman with a deep heart." Mrs. Huang smiled, "I have been in the imperial capital for so many years, and the ladies from various families have listened to it. This Miss Liu Shiyi has been among various families since two or three years ago. She has some reputations, but they are all ordinary compliments, such as being dignified, beautiful, virtuous and kind... Which lady can't help but receive such compliments whenever there are elders walking around? I don't think Miss Liu Shiyi is a real person? A talented person, it is strange that Miss Liu Shi's languorous appearance, a daughter knows her mother, shows how powerful Zhang is. She is so powerful and has the identity of a stepmother. She is suppressed by filial piety, and Miss Liu Shi wants to stand up. Not easy."
Chief Wei Ying said: "I have thought about what kind of person Liu Ruoye is many times before, but now that I have seen her, I realize that I have been wrong. We all underestimated her... Although Fengzhou can be considered Shangzhou is a small place compared to the imperial capital, but it is true that the place has outstanding people. This lady is three years younger than me, but she is so powerful. I think back to when I was fifteen years old, I was far worse than her. Got it!"
Huang smiled and said: "As the saying goes, being too smart is not a good thing. In the final analysis, fortune is the most important thing. Madam, you are blessed and no one can scheme against you!"
"Auntie loves to forgive me..." Wei Changying pursed her lips and smiled. Huang's words were meant to comfort her, but she took advantage of her blessings and said that being smart was not necessarily a good thing. In fact, she was not acquiescing to what she had said before. Yes, when I was fifteen years old, I was far inferior to Liu Ruoye? Let alone fifteen years old, if it weren't for the series of major events last year, Wei Changying felt that he might not be as good as this young lady from the Liu family now!
- Because of Mrs. Liu's gaffe, Liu Ruoye didn't say a few words and excused Chen Guang for not leaving early. She was also "considerate" about Mrs. Liu's face, and pretended to ask her a few words about her body, and offered to send her away without Mrs. Liu. . Wei Changying was present, so of course he had to send her off for a few steps on behalf of Liu. At that time, Liu was obviously upset and could hardly stand it anymore... He agreed to them indiscriminately.
So Wei Changying accompanied Liu Ruoye out of the Xinyi Pavilion. Liu Ruoye asked Wei Changying with a smile: "Sister Wei, do you know the origin of the name of the Xinyi Pavilion?"
Wei Changying thought she was just looking for a reason to talk to him. Thinking of the Jintong Courtyard where he lived, he casually said, "Could it be that my sister-in-law likes Xin Yi?"
As a result, Liu Ruoye smiled meaningfully: "If the seventh sister likes Xinyi, why is there not a single Xinyi flower in this Xinyi Pavilion? It is said that it was the seventh brother-in-law who insisted on using the name Xinyi Pavilion. At first, my second aunt even specially I came to talk to Mrs. Su about this, but the seventh brother-in-law refused to give in, and the elders had nothing to do. "
Wei Chang Ying frowned, and suddenly thought of Mrs. Liu's extremely unbearable excitement today... It must have something to do with the name of the Xinyi Pavilion. She didn't want Liu Ruoye to catch her talking about the big house with her. After all, Liu Ruoye was just a guest. She said that the length of the big house meant that she would not be welcomed by the Shen family in the future. Mrs. Liu originally protected Liu Ruoyu. I just don't like seeing her very much.
But Wei Changying is the daughter-in-law of the Shen family. Before she came out of the cabinet, her father Wei Zhenghong taught her: "Be careful in your words and deeds. Don't spread family affairs to outsiders. Don't bring in outside gossips! Whatever you say or do, remember not to taint the tradition of our Wei family." "You are still listening, how can you give Liu Ruoye a chance to continue talking? Then he changed the subject: "Miss Eleven, the little plum blossoms embroidered on this jacket are unique."
"This plum blossom was specially embroidered by me after I heard Sister Wei's heroic deeds of killing the enemy!" Liu Ruoye followed her topic and then got involved with Wei Changying. She stretched out her hand to touch her arm. The embroidered flower, with a slight curl of the corner of her mouth, said, "Unyielding, proud of the snow and frost... Although I am a weak woman with no strength to tie a chicken, I also yearn to be like Sister Wei, who can one day kill the enemy with a sword. Defend me, the great Wei River!"
"..." Wei Changying paused for a moment, then praised with a smile, "Although Miss Eleven is a girl, she has a heroic spirit and is not an ordinary lady." This is not to say that she looks down on Liu Ruoye, but although Liu Ruoye is not Like Liu Ruoyu, who is sickly and frail, she is still a slightly childish beauty, which has nothing to do with her heroic appearance. Such a little girl suddenly said that she wanted to defend the Wei Dynasty. If her sisters, such as Wei Chang'e, who had always had a good impression, said this, Wei Changying would also have laughed, and then started to joke.
Now that she was not familiar with Liu Ruoye, she was already trying to make her attitude appear serious.
Liu Ruoye turned around and smiled at her, saying, "I know Sister Wei doesn't really believe me when she says this."
Wei Changying felt a little bit dumbfounded, almost thinking that Liu Ruoye was actually just a naughty little girl, so he pretended to be solemn and said: "How could it be?"
"I have often heard my father tell stories about my hometown since I was a child. Donghu is bitterly cold and borders Beirong, so the folk customs are fierce - even those who are not brave cannot survive." Liu Ruoye touched his lips with his fingers and spoke slowly, "Father It is often said that our siblings grew up in the imperial capital and have not experienced the wind and snow of Donghu, so we cannot be considered the real Liu family... Looking back hundreds of years ago, my ancestor of the Liu family was a squire in Donghu. Because he could not bear the bullying of his neighbors by the soldiers, he sold his family home. After that, he gathered young people to protect his hometown. After that, he gradually became popular, and his descendants became famous. They became famous in Donghu and became well-known throughout the country. Among the six clans in the country, only the Liu family and the family were known. One of the family mottos of the Shen family is the same, which is to always guard the homeland and not allow foreigners to invade! "
Her tone suddenly became heavy, "If the Rong people want to enter the Central Plains, they must step over the bones of the Liu family! If the Di people want to advance eastward, unless the Shen family is destroyed! This is what the Shen family and the Liu family share, the ancestral training!"
Wei Changying thought of the great victory in the north of Fengzhou and what he saw and heard all the way north from Fengzhou, but he thought in his heart: If someone else were here, he might really be infected by her. While his blood was boiling, Naturally, I felt admiration and yearning for Liu Ruoye...
But Wei Changying knew the truth about the great victory in Fengzhou. To this day, the names of Song Han and Song Duan are still remembered by the heroes of this great victory. The real hero, Mo Binwei, could not clear up his grievances even after nine deaths. In the end, he was deceived by Wei Xinyong, killed the Wei family guards and fled!
Until now, who in the world would have known that a remote place like Chaoyun County actually hid a general who rushed into battle and achieved the biggest victory of the Wei Dynasty in recent years? It is conceivable that if there are no accidents, the history books recording the great victory of Fengzhou will also mention Song Han and Song Duan, which have nothing to do with Mo Binwei.
This real hero in the fight against the Rong people, a general valued by the Wei family, will only be known as a government servant who was ordered by the county magistrate to assist the county magistrate in escorting the common people to escape during this great victory. At most, it will only be recorded in the county annals of Liaocheng.
After thousands of years, how do people know about their merits? It would be impossible for Mo Binwei to be wronged by someone from a famous family!
This is not to say that the Chief of Guard Ying ridiculed Liu Ruoye's desire to personally serve the country as a woman, but that she thought Liu Ruoye's words had ulterior motives.
Being in a prestigious family and being in a high place, if you are used to looking down, you will inevitably see all kinds of nastiness. From this we know that the more you are in a seemingly majestic and turbulent scene, the more calm you need to be.
When Song Han and Song Duan pretended to take the credit, they described the battle situation in great detail, so Wei Huan was as shrewd as not to have any doubts after reading the battle report. Mo Binwei should have known these situations best, and he knew that Song Han had deceived him.
When the young Liaocheng government officer turned his back to the flames of war in the city and assisted the elderly county magistrate to escort the people scrambling to escape, he knew that when the city he grew up in was destroyed, he heard that one after another was built outside Liaocheng. As he watched - full of anger and hatred, he commanded the remaining men of Liao City to set up an ambush, ignited the fire of revenge against the Rong people, and raised the butcher knife for revenge. Did he ever think that after beheading the enemy, he finally waited in the middle of the state? Reinforcements, what awaits him is not praise and fame, but slander and pursuit? !
Perhaps when Song Han and Song Duan asked carefully about the victory, Mo Binwei naively believed that this was the importance his boss paid to him. If Mo Binwei hadn't secretly hidden the amulet of the Rong leader, even Wei Huan wouldn't believe that he was the real hero!
The hearts of the world are too treacherous, and if they are easily coaxed into becoming passionate, they will inevitably be taken advantage of.
This was the advice given by my grandfather Wei Huan before he left the cabinet. This old man was born as a concubine and took the position of the clan leader despite his aunt's mother's calculations and the criticism of everyone. He experienced countless ups and downs in his life, but he always remained calm and confident of winning.
His only granddaughter was about to get married. He summed up the lessons he had learned in his life in private, which was to never make important decisions under the circumstances of great joy or sorrow. Wei Huan knew very well that it was difficult for a young granddaughter to understand and grasp the state of mind of not being happy with things and not being sad with oneself. All he could do was to make his granddaughter remember not to be fooled by appearances and not to be led by others.
Liu Ruoye's words were indeed impassioned, but after hearing this, Wei Changying became even more wary of her: It was just the first time they met, and the eleventh lady of the Liu family talked about her father's teachings. Could it be that all the daughters of the Liu family loved her? Is it possible to communicate with others through simple words and profound words? Mrs. Liu is like this, and Liu Ruoye actually plans to confide in her now - but Wei Changying is not in the mood to confide in someone who is not familiar with her and has coveted her husband.
So Wei Changying just smiled: "Miss Eleven is so generous and heroic, and she doesn't give in to men!"
"I often listen to my father talk about the deeds of our ancestors who resisted the Rong people. Every time I hear it, my blood rushes." Seeing that she was unmoved, Liu Ruoye had a fleeting look in his eyes, and then he returned to his normal ladylike self. Some smiled gently, with a hint of shyness, "It's just that when I was a child, I was too delicate to endure the hardships and refused to practice martial arts with my father like my younger brother. Now it's too late to regret it... So I heard Brother Sixteen talk about Sister Wei's skills. Later, I thought that if I had been more successful when I was young, I would be able to convince my father to let me go to Donghu to practice with my brother in a few days! "
She clenched her pink and delicate fist and waved it slightly, with a look on her pretty face, and said solemnly, "Every time I hear about the evil deeds of those soldiers, they actually use our innocent people in the Wei Dynasty to build the capital to show off their martial arts - it's really I want to be like Sister Wei and kill the Rong with my own hands to boost the prestige of the Wei Kingdom!"
Wei Changying was in awe: "Although I have learned a few fists and kicks from the teacher, I have never thought too far. I had no choice but to kill the thief... Now I hear my sister's ambition, I am really ashamed!" It sounds nice, but it's meaningless.
Seeing that she was not infected at all, Liu Ruoye bit her red lips lightly and smiled sweetly: "Sister Wei, don't blame me for not being able to hold my tongue. I seem to think that my sister has misunderstood me?"
"Miss Eleven, what are you talking about?" Wei Changying said with a gentle smile, "This is the first time Miss Eleven and I have met, how can there be any misunderstanding?"
Liu Ruoye raised his head and looked at the blue sky in the distance, and curled his lips: "There have always been rumors about Duan Chenguang in the Imperial Capital, and I have met Brother-in-law Wei." (To be continued)
