Changying the Lady

Chapter 304: The way of the mistress

Views:

Wei Changying was slightly surprised and asked subconsciously: "How serious is your husband's injury?" Although he was worried, but seeing his mother-in-law's calm expression, he thought that this injury should be acceptable to Mrs. Su, so Wei Changying was not shocked even though he was shocked.

Seeing that she didn't immediately become confused, Mrs. Su nodded slightly, thinking that indeed a daughter-in-law also needs experience - these three daughters-in-law were very raw when they first came to the house. At that time, I heard the news from Jintongyuan privately, everything was going well. It was Mr. Huang and Mr. He who gave you step-by-step instructions and detailed instructions before you could do it. Now that I have been running the house for a few days, I have become much more stable. Mrs. Su is happy to see that her daughter-in-law is capable, and her son will be able to worry less in the future. This is something that Mrs. Su is happy to see happen. She does not think that her daughter-in-law does not care enough about her son if she does not immediately become confused.

She deliberately took a sip of tea again and saw the concern on Chief Wei's eyebrows, but she refrained from asking again, and then slowly said: "I heard that the person who sent the letter said it was not serious, nor was it light... Anyway, he is being raised in Xiliang City. However, although Feng'er failed to kill Musiur last time, it also severely damaged Musiuer's vitality. Now there are signs of civil strife in Qiudi, and Musiuer's brothers are worried. Several people rose up to seize the throne...Mu Xiuer's current position is very critical."

Wei Changying listened to his mother-in-law suddenly introduce the situation of Qiu Di to him. If he felt something, he said: "Mother wants a daughter-in-law... to go to Xiliang?"

"Not bad." Mrs. Su narrowed her eyes, but took a letter from her sleeve and gave it to her, saying, "This was included in a gift to me when your grandmother wrote to you and your aunt last time. In fact, besides sending congratulatory gifts last time, the main purpose of your family was to send this letter..." She stared at her daughter-in-law and said slowly, "It's for me and your father!"

Wei Changying felt solemn in his heart. He took the letter and opened it and looked at it. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Doctor Ji, he...he is actually?!"

Mrs. Song's letter to Shen Xuan and his wife was very thick, but there was no pleasantries. She almost talked about the matter straight to the point -

The first thing is that Ji Qubing had figured out a way to cure Wei Zheng Hong as early as the end of last year. Over the years, although this famous domestic doctor was angry and refused to go to Fengzhou, he still had the idea of curing Wei Zhenghong and going to Xiliang. Therefore, Mrs. Song would ask the doctor in Fengzhou to write a detailed history of Wei Zhenghong every once in a while, and send it to Ji's residence in the name of sending things to her daughter and relatives in the imperial capital. See details for curing diseases.

In fact, this is because there are only a few servants in Ji Qubing's house, and they never accept servants as gifts from others. The people who are serving him now are all Mrs. Song's confidants - they are all worried that Ji Qubing will continue to be affected by it. Wei Zheng Hong was killed while studying for the radical cure.

At the end of last year, Ji Qubing was finally 80% sure that he could cure Wei Zhenghong. It's just that this famous doctor suffered a family change in his early years and was homeless. He suffered a lot, so even though he has a weird temper, he is not without integrity. He knew very well that with his medical skills and the importance the Wei family attached to him, even if he looked down upon the powerful, the powerful would not do anything to him.

But Wei Zhenghong has a special status, and the situation in Ruiyu Hall is complicated... The rise and fall of Ruiyu Hall can directly affect the court situation. If this was announced rashly, I am afraid that the person who brought the good news would die before he could reach Fengzhou.

So Ji Qubing quietly put a pill that looked like other pills in the life-extending pills he sent to Fengzhou every year for Wei Zhenghong to take, but inside was actually a pill with a message sealed in wax.

When taking this kind of pill, you always dissolve it with water first - the wax-coated pill is naturally not afraid of no one discovering its secret.

The people who serve Zheng Hong are all Mrs. Song's loyal confidants... How could Mrs. Song not receive this text message

Mrs. Song was overjoyed, but she also understood why Ji Qubing used such a covert method to inform her. Mrs. Song was thinking further than Ji Qubing: Ji Qubing was mainly concerned about his own life, but Mrs. Song immediately thought of the consequences of her eldest son's recovery. This is a good thing for Rui Yutang and Wei Huan's big house, but what about others

So the second thing the old lady said was to discuss with her in-laws how to deal with this matter when it comes to light - as Rui Yu Tang's in-laws, and the husband's family who is the most favored granddaughter of Rui Yu Tang's generation, they are already very powerful. The Shen family, which is not weak, will definitely be affected by this matter.

While Wei Changying was reading the letter, he thought that maybe his second aunt's husband, Su Pingzhan, the Marquis of Kangle, had a similar letter

There are also Sikong's mansion and uncle's place...

She calmed down and continued reading, only to find that Mrs. Song's suggestions to her in-laws were false and true.

... First let Ji Qubing announce without any thought that he has been able to cure Wei Zhenghong.

Of course, in order for Wei Xinyong's speculation about Wei Shengyi to have a place, the timing of this announcement should also leave people imaginable. Fortunately, Wei Changying happened to give birth to the Shen family's grandson Shen Shuguang. As her natal family, it was common practice for the Wei family to send a large number of people to Beijing to congratulate her with generous gifts.

Before these people returned to Fengzhou, such a news "happened" to come out...

Ji Qubing spoke with great certainty again. The news was so sudden, except for people like Wei Shengyi who were panicked and despaired because they were in the middle of the situation. After Yu Ren calmed down after being surprised, he would definitely see all these doubts.

But at this time, the Shen family went to war again and sent three of their nephews, including Mrs. Su's favorite legitimate son, to seek education but actually to escort Ji Qubing south to Fengzhou! In the eyes of those who believe, this practice is to ensure that their relatives can get the hands of famous doctors; but in the eyes of those who are skeptical, it is a cover-up.

In addition, Wei Xinyong arrived in the imperial capital one step ahead of this news... If Wei Zhenghong really recovers, and Ruiyu Hall has another Wei Changfeng, will Wei Xinyong be needed

Therefore, Rui Yu Tang's wading was completely confused.

Except for Ji Qubing and Mrs. Song, no one knows the real ins and outs of this matter. Various speculations inevitably make everyone hesitate to move forward.

Since some people believe and others doubt, then whether it is to attack Ji Qubing, suppress Rui Yutang, or other plans... there will always be hesitation, disputes, or fears. Those who wish that Wei Zhenghong would never recover would be unable to form an alliance.

After all, Ruiyu Hall has been weak for many years. If everyone joins forces to suppress it, even if Wei Zhenghong recovers immediately, it will inevitably be very difficult and delay the revival of Ruiyu Hall. For the weaker party, sometimes the situation is a little more chaotic, but it is safer.

This is for Rui Yutang and for the in-laws - Qingzhou Su, Jiangnan Song, Xiliang Shen. The Shen family is the most prominent, which is very eye-catching. Wei Zhenghong is Wei Changying's father. Compared with his biological flesh and blood, his legitimate sister Of course, the wife's uncle cannot compare with his biological daughter. In particular, Wei Zhenghong only has two children. Even if Ji Qu is cured... Wei Zhenghong is already so old. No matter how much he has children, he cannot neglect his eldest daughter who has grown up.

Anyway, the Shen family is a big tree and attracts the wind. After all, Ruiyu Hall is still in decline! To be revived is something that will happen in the future... But isn't King Ji implicated

Wei Changying put down the letter, raised his eyes and asked his mother-in-law: "The reason why my father and mother took the fifth, sixth, and seventh brothers to escort Doctor Ji to Fengzhou was..."

"That's not the case." Mrs. Su didn't hide anything from her daughter-in-law, and said, "Your father made this decision first. When you calm down and think about it, you think it's a bit too coincidental. After thinking about it, I asked you what your mother's family will give you this time. Did Guang'er bring anything special to us as a gift? So I took out the gift list and looked at it. There was a box of wild ginseng honey in a porcelain bottle in a brocade box. Your father said that honey is a secret. Maybe there is something in it... As soon as I opened the box, I found this letter under the brocade."

…What a coincidence.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sighed about the difficulty of the situation and the inconvenience of traveling long distances and conveying confidential information - Mrs. Su explained: "It is a good thing to report a victory from Xiliang, but now our family has already put the Holy Spirit on guard, and this victory has the opposite effect." It's a bad time. However, it's impossible to hide such big news. Delaying it intentionally might make the Holy Father think that our family has some intentions! Therefore, I discussed with your father and decided to keep Feng'er's injury a secret. The information is heavier.”

After a pause, she said, "Go to Xiliang and take care of him to make him look more real."

Wei Changying pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder how long my wife has been here?"

"It's impossible to say for sure." Mrs. Su frowned and said, "Who knows what the situation will be like in the next moment? Our family has become prosperous over the years, and there are many jealous people in both the government and the public who would like to see our family suppressed, especially those who It's the Liu family. Anyway, with this great victory, even if he rests in Xiliang to recuperate, he won't lose much face when the time comes to count his achievements."

Wei Changying quickly calculated the people who were going to Xiliang. In addition to her husband Shen Zangfeng, there were also Gu Yiran, the husband of Princess Chengxian, Gu Xinian, Gu Yiran's younger brother, and Deng Zongqi, a descendant of the Deng family. Tone, this victory is the result of Shen Zangfeng alone. Whether these people really did not participate or pretended not to participate, they have no share anyway.

So now that Shen Zangfeng is recovering from his injuries, it is not only a shame for the Shen family, but also an opportunity for these companions to make meritorious deeds. We can't let them go to the frontier in vain.

Of course it is a good thing to be reunited with her husband, but the date of this reunion cannot be determined... Wei Changying couldn't help but ask: "What about Guang'er?"

What if the family asks Shen Zangfeng to endure it in Xiliang for ten or eight years? What will their eldest son do? Have you always followed your grandparents

Mrs. Su frowned and said: "You are worried about your injured husband and are determined to visit Xiliang in person. It would be okay if you take your eldest son along with you. But have you ever thought about it? Xiliang is bitterly cold and Guang'er is so young. How can he bear the bumps?"

Wei Changying knew that her mother-in-law was telling the truth, so she said a little upset: "What mother said is true, but my husband hasn't seen Guang'er yet..."

"What you said is so childish." Mrs. Su couldn't help but laugh, and said kindly, "Maybe, I mean I don't know whether I want you to stay there for one year or two years, who can let you stay in Xiliang for the rest of your life? Didn't they say it would be three years when they went to the border? When the time comes, whether Feng'er's injury is healed or not, it's time to return to the imperial capital or come back to be recuperated... After all, everyone knows that Xiliang is here. It’s bitter cold!”

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was frowning and keeping silent, obviously torn between her husband and her son, Mrs. Su said in a deep voice, "Of course you are reluctant to be separated from your own flesh and blood, especially since you only have one biological and beloved son now! It's just your eldest son, Have you ever thought that you are not only Guang'er's mother, but more importantly, you are Feng'er's wife! Shen's future mistress!"

Wei Changying was startled and subconsciously raised his head.

Mrs. Su pointed to the door, her eyes were neither sad nor happy, and she said word by word: "That direction is Xiuer's dowry house. Because Prince Ji has a palace in the imperial capital, he originally did not plan to buy a dowry house for her. However, the garden in the palace was not to her liking, so your father bought the mansion, decorated it according to her wishes, and included it in the dowry list. But not long after Xiuer got married, she followed Prince Ji to the fiefdom. It’s a rare occasion to come back. Even if she comes back, she doesn’t always have the time to live in that house for two days. Even so, she would rather leave it empty than rent it to anyone, because every plant and plant in it is mine. Together with your father, she personally selected and arranged it! Who would have thought that one day she and her husband would be kicked out of Prince Ji's Mansion, so she would still have this house to live in? "

"I guess you also know my maiden name, Xiu'er... She is the eldest daughter of me and your father. Your father and I have always regarded her as the apple of our eyes - although she and Ning'er are both my biological daughters, I say To be honest, I do like Xiu'er better than Ning'er!" Mrs. Su said in a low voice, "But now her husband has been deposed and driven out of the palace... Many of the servants took advantage of the chaos to steal things and escape, or made sarcastic remarks. ... In such a difficult time, I couldn't even rush to comfort her, or even send someone to comfort her! Is it because I don't love Xiu'er? Is it because I'm afraid of the Holy Father that I don't even dare to care about my own daughter? It's all out of necessity! But for the sake of the Shen family and Xiu'er, I can only pretend to be nonchalant!"

"The matriarch of a family is not only responsible for taking care of the trivial household chores." Mrs. Su stretched out her hand that was always carefully maintained, and gently pulled up a sleeve. Wei Changying glanced at it and couldn't help but There was a cry - but on Mrs. Su's still fair and delicate arms, there were four or five blood armor marks deeply embedded in the skin!

Mrs. Su looked down at the hideous wound, her expression unwavering, and she said calmly, "I was so upset that I didn't pinch it carefully after I heard about Xiu'er's incident." She put down her sleeves to cover the wound, and used He said in a tone without any emotion, "Chang Ying, please remember, as a mistress, the most important thing is to know the general body! How to know the general body? Clearly identify the priorities, do not focus on the feelings of the children, look at the entire family, The entire court, and even the world... do not have such a vision. They follow the example of ordinary women and only see husbands and children. Virtue is virtuous, but there are thousands of such women, and there are many such women in the countryside. A memorial built by a wise woman. If such a mediocre and gentle so-called good woman can be worthy of the future head of the Shen family, why should a woman from a famous family be so important? Isn't it just about family status? ! Isn’t it the kind of magnanimity and vision that only a wealthy family can bring up?”

Wei Changying bit her lip tightly - Mrs. Su put her hand on her shoulder and said solemnly, "Remember, you are my son Zangfeng's first wife, and you are here to assist him in building a career step by step, holding great power, and passing on my inheritance The Shen family has been honored for hundreds of years! You are the future mistress of the Shen family! Guang'er is very important, but the entire Shen family is more important! , I have been influenced by my eyes and ears since I was a child. If the skin is gone, the hair will not be attached. I think... there is no need for me to tell you again! "

Mrs. Su took her hand away from her shoulder and whispered: "Go to Xiliang, and no one will say these words to you again - in this world, how can you be rich for a lifetime without paying any price? You and I are both. The daughter of Wenyue, and married into Wenyue, we should know that our family has given us noble blood and noble status. However, if generations of ancestors had not worked hard to maintain the glory of the family and make the family prosperous, how could you and I have the capital to be arrogant and arrogant? And qualifications? Since ancient times, there have been so many common people in the country, why have only six clans been passed down to this day? Don’t the common people have any outstanding talents? Why do their clans eventually decline? Yes! Without the foresight of our ancestors, how could future generations come from the foundation of Jin family? In the past, you enjoyed the glory and wealth brought to you by the Wei family and the Shen family. Now it is time for you to safeguard this glory and wealth! "

"But I hope that when you come back with Feng'er, I can rest assured and give up the position of Mistress Shen! My dear child, just go!"
