In the next few days, based on Wei Huan's handwriting and the recommendations of Wei Zhengyin and Wei Changying, Wei Xinyong met with the powerful officials in the court one by one, and received extremely high praise from all of them. Some people even questioned Wei Qi's age: "With such a good talent, who would think that he has too many talents? They would actually allow him to be adopted into Ruiyu Hall. Isn't the Marquis of Jingcheng old and confused?"
He also doubted Wei Qi's subordinates, "Or are they jealous of their brothers and refusing to become famous, forcing Wei Xinyong to switch to Ruiyu Hall?"
The above are just ordinary people's speculations based on common sense. The size of the imperial capital is nothing short of surprising. Since there are weird people like Gu Naizheng, who speak freely, they have some very abnormal opinions -
Gu Naizheng said in a sonorous and eloquent voice: "My wife's sixth uncle adopted Ruiyu Hall, what's so strange about it? How do you know that he is not originally a bloodline of Ruiyu Hall?!"
In view of his status as the son-in-law of the beloved daughter of the leader of the Wei family and the nephew-son-in-law of Wei Xinyong himself, everyone was stunned and cautiously gathered around to ask for advice.
"Although you have never seen it, you may have heard that the eldest son of Chang Shanggong, my wife's direct uncle, has outstanding grace?" Gu Naizheng waved a folding fan in his hand, and he was confident. Seeing everyone nodded, he folded the fan As soon as he collected it, he patted it in the palm of his hand and said, "Here! My wife's direct uncle and the eldest son of Chang Shangong have outstanding demeanor. You can see the demeanor of these six uncles now with your own eyes! Is this still true? Can’t you explain the problem?”
Gu Naizheng violently photographed several cases and announced the truth, "This sixth uncle may actually be the biological flesh and blood of my wife's maternal grandfather Chang Shanggong, but he had to be raised in Zhibentang since he was a child, and his so-called biological father Wei Jidai was chosen. Just raise him! Now that Wei Ji has been dead for many years, he has grown up and should return to his family. If not, how could Marquis Jingcheng put such a talented and beautiful son in Ruiyu Hall? This is all because Uncle Six is the blood of Rui Yutang. Marquis Jingcheng knows the truth and has no choice but to send him back to his clan with tears in his eyes! "
... Although speaking of his identity about the true relationship between Wei Huan and Wei Xinyong should be a bit vague, the onlookers are not all brainless. At this moment, someone was wiping a cold sweat and questioned: "Brother Zi Lie, what you said is wrong. If Wei Xinyong is of Chang Shanggong's lineage, why should Wei Ji be raised on his behalf? Could it be that Chang Shanggong's lineage cannot support him?"
"Of course you can't support him!" Gu Naizheng glanced at this man with disdain and said, "Isn't my wife's eldest uncle an example? These sixth uncles are as handsome as the bright moon, and their talents are not at all like the rumored 'Sick Bone Crane' Come on! My grandfather is naturally worried that he is too talented and will follow in the footsteps of my wife’s uncle!”
"But why should we be fostered in Zhibentang and use the identity of a disciple of Zhibentang? Now we are just talking about inheritance. I have not heard what Brother Youzilie said!" Another person said not agreeing.
Gu Naizheng said happily: "My dear brother, you are so honest! Why are you raised in Zhibentang? First of all, the friendship between my wife's grandfather and Marquis Jingcheng is well known to the world, not to mention that they are a family. Please know who the adopted heirs of this hall are." Why is it strange? As for knowing the identity of the disciples, I am not talking about the virtuous brother. What is the difference between the virtuous brother's question and the question of "why not eat minced meat" in the Jin Dynasty? Did his family make it easy to support him? All the children of Ruiyutang were healthy, but the eldest son with the best Fengyi was born sick. My wife's grandfather did not dare to let the second son with the same talent and talent make the same mistake, so not only Raise him in Zhibentang, and fully use Zhibentang's ranking and identity... Now when he grows up healthily, of course he will be taken back!"
"...Brother Zilie's speculation seems to be too far-fetched. Chang Shanggong's descendants, regardless of whether they died in infancy, are now whereabouts. Madam-in-law, the sixth uncle from her natal family is not among them, and his age is not similar to them?"
"My dear brother, you are stupid and stubborn!" Gu Naizheng glanced at everyone sympathetically and said in a low voice, "How fierce is my wife's grandmother, Mrs. Song? My wife's sixth uncle must not be Mrs. Song's flesh and blood, so... Haha!"
This guy's character is not a secret from all over the imperial capital - the eldest son of the Gu family in the imperial capital is the most outspoken, and when he speculates on things, he can be said to be unfettered and unrestrained, which often makes people dumbfounded... So he usually muttered What, everyone took it as a joke, and this time was no exception.
Everyone told him what he said, laughing and joking, but they didn't take it seriously. But he couldn't stand it and passed it on to ten, and passed it on to hundreds. As he passed it on, Gu Naizheng's name was hidden, and his nose and eyes were aggravated: It is said that before Chang Shan Gong Wei Huan became an official, he once had an affair with a certain woman. Due to love, this woman is naturally Wei Xinyong's biological mother. However, because of Mrs. Song's ferocity and beating up the mandarin ducks, Wei Huan had to reluctantly abandon their mother and son... Uh, no, he abandoned the woman and sent Wei Xinyong to Zhiben Hall for foster care.
Then Wei Xinyong gradually matured in Zhibentang, and Ruiyutang happened to be in decline, and there was a great need for talented children to come forward to boost the family reputation. So doesn't Wei Xinyong just want to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan? But now that Mrs. Song is still alive, she hates Wei Xinyong and his biological mother, so she never allows him to return to Wei Huan's lap. Wei Huan has no choice but to drag his deceased brother out to be his son, and invites the elders of the clan to help him. Taking advantage of Master Wei's ancient birthday, he reluctantly allowed Wei Xinyong's bloodline to return to the sect...
The above is the general story of what happened. Wei Xinyong's biological mother ranged from a maid to Xiaojiabiyu to a shepherd in Goulanli to a merchant girl... In short, it is like a playbook, with all kinds of versions.
Even the fact that Wei Xinyong came to Beijing as soon as he was adopted has become evidence. The reason is that if Wei Huan is not his own flesh and blood, he is just looking for an heir for his deceased brother to inherit the incense. As for being so concerned about his future, he can’t wait to let him become an official.
It must be biological!
And having been fostered in Zhibentang for many years, Wei Huan felt guilty, so he tried his best to support him to make up for it. Combined with Mrs. Song's character, who is very strict about concubines, some people even suspect that Wei Huan did this not only to compensate his illegitimate son Wei Xinyong, but also because he was worried that a talent like Wei Xinyong would be poisoned by Mrs. Song if he stayed in Fengzhou...
... Wei Zhengyin looked at his daughter and son-in-law with a livid face, and asked angrily: "Where did you hear these rumors from?! You actually said such ridiculous words, causing the imperial capital to be in trouble now, everyone They all think that Wei Xinyong is your grandfather’s biological flesh and blood, and it even affects your grandmother’s reputation as a virtuous person!”
This matter really had nothing to do with Su Yuli. By the time she noticed it, her weird husband had already taken care of the matter. But the son-in-law was a spoiled man. Although Wei Zhengyin only wanted to scold Gu Naizheng, he still said it to his daughter. Su Yuli knew this well and gave her husband a sharp look, signaling for him to answer.
Although Gu Naizheng is famous among the children of the aristocratic family, everyone who sees him has a headache. However, after all, she came from a noble family, and her mother-in-law was the daughter of a noble family. She did not dare to be negligent. She suppressed her usual laziness and said respectfully: "To answer my mother, these are all my son-in-law's speculations. I think my sixth uncle is with me." My eldest uncles are both men of outstanding character, maybe they are really brothers?"
Wei Zhengyin couldn't believe that this son-in-law actually thought that Wei Xinyong was Wei Huan's biological son for such a ridiculous reason... She took a deep breath and said: "Then according to what you say, in this world, Are all those with outstanding manners the sons of your grandfather?”
Gu Naizheng said: "To answer my mother's question, my sixth uncle's surname is Wei."
"..." Wei Zhengyin looked around. When she was a young lady, she was trained by Mrs. Song to be well-known in the entire imperial capital. However, as elegant and quiet as she was, she wanted to get something now. Come hit Gu Naizheng!
However, the troubled son-in-law continued, "There is also a reason that has not been mentioned to outsiders: Not only is this sixth uncle outstanding in manners, but more importantly, this uncle is extremely talented and beyond the reach of others! Now Wei Wu's cousin is in the right When I was young, my grandmother was always on guard against Uncle Wei, so why would she be willing to adopt this son easily? It must be because my grandfather insisted. And why did my grandfather insist? It was obviously because his sixth uncle was his own flesh and blood... "
"Shut up!" Wei Zhengyin tried hard to tell herself that her son-in-law was a spoiled customer and she couldn't offend him too much for the sake of her daughter, but she still couldn't help but shouted angrily and cut off Gu Naizheng's words!
Gu Naizheng scolded the careless son-in-law. Gu Naizheng admitted his mistake. However, his face was full of disapproval, and he almost wrote on his face: "My son-in-law knows that you, mother-in-law, are the biological child of Yu Li's grandmother." "Daughter, today I am keeping tabs on my elders" - the hatred in Wei Zhengyin's heart, but thanks to the presence of Wei Changying, who coaxed her with Su Yuli, she was able to calm down her anger.
Even so, Wei Zhengyin still felt unhappy. She sent her son-in-law back first, leaving her daughter behind, and told her: "Your husband-in-law is too arrogant! It's okay for him to speak openly. Now he can't even speak." My elders are all talking about it! Isn’t your grandfather and grandmother going to call him that? He’s talking nonsense like this, and he doesn’t care about me at all!”
Su Yuli was also filled with hatred and said: "My mother didn't know that my daughter had to deal with him so hard yesterday when he was at home, but he was so unrepentant when he came to her mother! When he gets back, my daughter will definitely give him enough nice!"
Wei Changying had another opinion: "Although these words came from my cousin-in-law, who in the family doesn't know who my cousin-in-law is? What he said is so ridiculous that it is almost becoming the truth as it spreads around. I'm afraid there's someone else behind the scenes, and my cousin-in-law Xu was tricked."
Wei Zhengyin said: "I don't know who this is now, so let's not worry about it. Let's talk about Naizheng first. How can he be such a grandson-in-law? This means that my father and mother are not in the imperial capital. I think he is Yu Li. Give him some dignity as a husband! Otherwise..."
"In short, he is so brave this time, no matter what happens!" Wei Zhengyin grinded his teeth and said to his daughter with a sullen face, "I am going to send him out of the imperial capital and put him somewhere to reflect and reflect! He has come since. He has a reputation for being outspoken in the imperial capital. In the past, it was just because he was a member of the Gu family, and secondly, because he was young and ignorant. But now he has no respect at all! "How can this happen!"
Su Yuli had always been the most knowledgeable, and she immediately realized that Wei Zhengyin was actually doing this for her own consideration. She was worried that Gu Naizheng would even dare to talk nonsense about his wife's direct grandfather and grandmother now - if Wei Zhengyin were not Mrs. Song's biological daughter, Su Yu Li is Mrs. Song's biological granddaughter. For the sake of her biological flesh and blood, she also has the opportunity to intercede in front of Mrs. Song.
Otherwise, no matter how Ruiyu Hall declines, it will still be a tragedy. Mrs. Song wants to deal with Gu Naizheng, no matter how weird he is, it will still be a tragedy.
But the Gu family couldn't control their eldest son. If Gu Naizheng got used to letting it go and offended someone who couldn't make amends, it wouldn't matter if he didn't end well. If Su Yuli was implicated, would Wei Zhengyin be relieved? Now he is being used to arrange Wei Huan and Mrs. Song and send him out. Firstly, it is to warn other children who spread rumors; secondly, it is to make Gu Naizheng sober and know some sense of propriety.
Understanding the reason, Su Yuli would not stop her. She nodded and said, "Everything is as mother ordered."
"It's not okay for a person like him to go out without anyone around to keep an eye on him. You have to go with him. It's your sister-in-law. Your mother-in-law went there. The Pei family loved their daughter and took her to Youzhou to raise her for a few years. "Wei Zhengyin warned her daughter again, "Now it's because you got married that I sent her back. Firstly, it's because of the saying, 'a widow should not marry an eldest daughter. In the first year of marriage, the Pei family cannot decide on her marriage. You'd better ask her what she thinks. If you can decide on a person, make the decision to her first, so that people won't talk about you as a sister-in-law who doesn't care about your sister-in-law. Gu Rouzhang is very worried. She's six years old and you still don't care about her."
Wei Changying also said: "We have decided on a date, and when the date comes, my cousin will still be in office with my cousin's husband. All I have to do is come back and host the wedding."
The three of them discussed something, and Su Yuli remembered something again and apologized to Wei Changying: "Husband, he is this person! There is something that I asked him by the way when I asked him about arranging his grandfather and grandmother. I was going to ask him Ask him to apologize to your cousin in person, but you forgot just now. I'm afraid he's home now... I'll apologize to you on his behalf!"
Wei Changying smiled and said: "Cousin, are you talking about Jiejia Restaurant? It's nothing, just a meal."
"Jiejia Winery?" Su Yuli was stunned and said, "So he also offended you at the winery?"
"What did my cousin say?" Wei Changying suddenly felt a little ominous.
Sure enough, Su Yuli explained: "I mean, cousin Shen took you to Chuncao Lake before, but you met a woman who didn't know etiquette in Furongzhou and stopped you, teasing cousin Shen. Later, cousin Shen got angry because he pretended to be the crown prince. Did you do it? But my husband...he said everywhere that it was you!" (To be continued)
