… It was already the end of March when Song Zaishui’s letter was delivered to Xiliang. Even though it was as bitter and cold as Xiliang, the season was full of vitality. The Mingpei Hall is dark green and light blue, and it is full of vitality.
After noon, Wei Changying took a nap, just as Zhu Xian brought the letter in for her to read. After reading only two lines, Wei Changying was surprised: "Cousin Song promised to cousin Su?" These words aroused the curiosity of the maids, but they didn't dare to look forward without permission, and they all looked forward to it eagerly. She could say a few words after reading it.
After reading two more lines, Wei Changying was even more surprised: "The wedding date is set at the end of the year?" But for this, Wei Changying quickly felt relieved, "Cousin Song is already old. Since the engagement has been made, it should really be earlier. Out of office."
As he continued reading, Wei Changying frowned tightly, but he did not say anything about the content of the letter. Instead, he looked around and ordered, "You all go out first."
The maids were greatly disappointed, but they still obeyed and left.
After everyone left and the door was closed, Wei Changying carefully opened Song Zaishui's extremely thick letter. Sure enough, there was a sealed letter inside. It was smaller than the one outside, and there was nothing on the envelope. One word.
But Song Zaishui had already stated in her letter that this letter was brought for Wei Xinyong.
Wei Changying couldn't figure out why this so-called sixth uncle wrote to him
I had nothing to do with him in the first place, and the previous grievances were settled on the scene. Even if Wei Xinyong is not reconciled, why should he go all the way to write a letter specifically to criticize himself? Such a smart person would not do such a meaningless but harmful thing.
She read the letter suspiciously for a moment, then after thinking about it, she put Song Zaishui's letter aside and opened Wei Xinyong's letter and read it first.
Wei Xinyong's letter was not long. He casually greeted his niece and then got straight to the point: he wanted to know the battle situation in Xiliang, the detailed battle situation, and of course it had to be the real battle situation.
Perhaps it was because he knew that the relationship with Wei Changying was not harmonious enough that Wei Changying agreed as soon as he read the letter, so Wei Xinyong immediately wrote the reason - this reason made Wei Changying's heart skip a beat when he saw it!
Wei Xinyong said in the letter that the imperial capital seems to be peaceful now, but in fact there are turbulent undercurrents. He has noticed that there seems to be someone who doesn't like the current Dong Palace, and is secretly trying to destroy Chu... This is just fine, and he has no evidence anyway. The key is that what Wei Xinyong implicitly expressed later was the same as what Shen Zangfeng said in private - he also believed that the great Wei State Zuo would decline and planned to start preparing a retreat now.
Mastering the actual military situation in Xiliang is one of the necessary pieces of information for him to prepare for his retreat. That's why Wei Xinyong entrusted Song Zaishui to carry such a letter.
It seems that he also knows that the specific military information cannot be known to the Chief of Guards, so he suggested in the letter that Chief of Guards Ying keep his letter and show it to Shen Zangfeng after Shen Zangfeng returns and let Shen Zangfeng make the decision.
Wei Changying held this letter, his mood was indescribable.
Although Wei Xinyong's words were polite and he did not pretend to be an elder, but was discussing things in a nice way, it was as if he was sitting in front of them and talking to each other. When Wei Changying read this letter, he thought of every thought, and proposed a solution in the next sentence... So that after Wei Changying read it, he was filled with displeasure, but he couldn't tear the letter into pieces. Fragments!
Because his speculation about Da Wei was the same as Shen Zangfeng's, Wei Changying had to follow his words and keep it alive for her husband to see when he came back!
Because who knows if this letter is missed, what trouble it will bring to my husband in the future
"...Forget it, I'm not a man anyway, so I don't have to compete with him in the court. My husband came to this conclusion years ago, oh no, maybe he saw it many years ago!" The depressed Wei Changying sat for a moment and could only comfort himself, "It's not a big deal to have Wei Xinyong look down on you every step of the way... Doesn't he still have to beg me now?"
Angrily, he carefully folded the text message and put it back in his arms. Wei Changying picked up Song Zaishui's letter again and continued to read it.
However, apart from Song Zaishui mentioning in the middle of the letter that Wei Xinyong asked her to pass on such a letter, Song Zaishui then acted as if such a thing had never happened before. Wei Xinyong never mentioned anything about it. Wei Changying wanted to start from I looked up Wei Xinyong's current situation in my cousin's letter to deduce that he can't do anything. Song Zaishui told her that he would go to Donghu with her husband immediately after getting married. He also joked that both his cousins were destined to be on the road.
Wei Changying smiled slightly when he saw it. Although Song Zaishui didn't say why he wanted to go to Donghu as soon as he got married, Wei Changying could guess the reason: his cousin Su Yuwu was seriously injured before. Before he came to Xiliang, he told his aunt Wei Zhengyin said that he was very frightened this time and must stop Su Yuwu from continuing to Donghu.
However, Su Yuwu was concerned about the battlefield - the mother and son must have been arguing. Wei Zhengyin couldn't resist his son, and was afraid that something would happen to him again, so he simply asked his daughter-in-law to go together so that he could at least keep an eye on him.
Thinking of Wei Zhengyin's refusal to let Su Yuwu go into battle, Wei Changying couldn't help but think of her husband again, and felt resentful in his heart: "It's already March, and since February when he returned from the military report, he brought me a letter from home. . In the past month, I have only seen military reports coming and going, but I haven’t heard a single word from him... I don’t know if he is too busy or has forgotten it?”
After holding Song Zaishui's letter and being lost in thought for a moment, Wei Changying sighed, gathered his mood, stood up, opened the door, and called in his servants to wait on him.
After the newly appointed ambassadors Zhu Luo and Zhu Yi came in with Zhu Xian and Zhu Xuan a few days ago, Wei Changying ordered them to invite the Huang family and the He family.
After the two aunts arrived, Wei Changying told them about Song Zaishui's engagement to Su Yuwu: "Aunt Wan will definitely prepare a gift for me in the imperial capital. But the two aunts also know that Cousin Song and I have always been good friends. She even wrote a special letter to me about this matter. I want to send something else from Xiliang. Aunts, what can I send? "
Mr. Huang and Mr. He both had a very good impression of Song Zaishui. When they heard that she had married Su Yuwu, they were both very happy. They both said: "Earlier, the young lady was worried about Miss Song's cousin's life. Unexpectedly, this time I actually agreed to be married to the cousin of the Su family. The cousin is a wonderful person and is the flesh and blood of our second aunt and wife. After all, the second aunt's wife is also the cousin of the cousin. This marriage is better than the marriage of the cousin for the rest of her life. It’s so gratifying that my cousin has found a good wife!”
After saying some words of joy and congratulations, the two of them each mentioned something that could be used as a gift. After some further consideration, Wei Chang Ying made a decision and ordered someone to draw up a gift list and prepare to send it to the imperial capital. Because it was impossible to send something to Song Zaishui all the way and ignore her husband's family who was also in the imperial capital, I had to find another reason to prepare a copy for everyone in the Taifu's house.
Then he would bring one to his two aunts, Wei Shengxian and Wei Zhengyin, and his second uncle Wei Shengyi and sixth uncle Wei Xinyong should not forget it... At the end, Wei Changying held the thick gift list and said with a smile: " It’s like giving a New Year’s gift.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the newly recruited ambassador maiden and the four named Zhuyi along with Zhu Lan burst into laughter. After laughing out loud, he saw Huang and He both frowning and looking at him. Zhu Yi was so frightened that he hurriedly apologized: "My maid has behaved inappropriately!"
Zhu Yi and Zhu Luo were chosen from among the sons of the Xiliang family, and they acted as ambassadors as soon as they arrived. Wei Changying did not trust them enough, but he had to use them because he was short of people around him. So I usually pay great attention to their speech and behavior, so as not to make a mistake when making a choice without realizing it. At this moment, I solemnly looked at her, glanced at her, and said lightly: "Why are you laughing?"
Although Zhu Yi had never seen her angry since he came to her, he also knew that this young lady was not easy to mess with, so he said tremblingly: "My maid... My maid just thought of Miss Gu, so... that's why I smiled."
He asked curiously: "What do you care about Miss Gu?"
Zhu Yi secretly looked at Wei Changying, and seeing that she had no intention of not wanting to hear it, he said cautiously: "My maid remembered that she sent a replacement New Year's gift to the imperial capital earlier. For the sake of safety, the young lady arranged for Miss Deng and Miss Gu to accompany her. After returning to the capital, it turned out that Miss Deng was okay, but Miss Gu refused to leave, and even pestered the young lady in every possible way... Now I heard that the young lady wanted to send something to the imperial capital like a New Year's gift. After Miss Gu found out, I'm afraid I have to worry that the young lady will send her back, maybe... she will start crying again... "
Hearing what she said, Wei Changying, Huang and He all showed a smile. After the Lantern Festival this year, Wei Changying planned to send Gu Rouzhang and the others back to Beijing. However, Deng Wanwan had no objection and immediately packed up her things. He can go on the road at any time; Duanmu Xinmiao is pestered by a sudden flood of people seeking medical treatment and must stay; Gu Rouzhang, who should be the most leisurely from the beginning to the end, is pestered, tearful, crying... insisting. You can’t stay in Xiliang!
Wei Changying was very busy at that time and was too lazy to tell her more, so he ordered his men and women to catch her, gave her the tranquilizing medicine prepared by Duan Mu Xinmiao, and forced her to get into the car and leave! However, when Gu Rouzhang woke up, she found that she had already left Xiliang City for three days. The BMW she was riding on when she arrived was also seized by the guard chief Ying. He only left a message to her maids, saying that when Gu Xi Nian returned, Ask him to bring it back to Gu Rouzhang... Ordinarily, Gu Rouzhang would have no choice but to accept his fate and be sent back to the imperial capital.
As a result, Miss Gu took advantage of Deng Wanwan's weakness and was unable to stop her, and the guards in the team did not dare to touch her, so she just grabbed a horse and rushed back!
The leader of the team sent people to catch up with her and persuade her. In order to stop her, he even ordered the horse she had snatched to be killed. But Gu Rouzhang simply started on her way on foot... The leader had no choice but to call a small team of people, give her a new horse, write a letter of apology to the Chief of Guards Ying, and take the letter with him to Xiliang City...
Wei Changying was speechless when he saw Gu Rouzhang who had returned, and asked her why she liked the bitter cold and dangerous Xiliang so much. Gu Rouzhang said: "In Sister Wei's eyes, it's bitterly cold here, and if you don't like it, the Di people invade. But that's not the case in my eyes. In my eyes, although the scenery here is not as gorgeous as the imperial capital, it has its own kind of harshness." Character, I love this kind of coldness! Even if it’s a bit dangerous, so what? Sister Wei is here, and brother-in-law Wei is in the front. For Sister Wei’s sake, he will protect the territory of Wei! What danger could there be?"
After she finished speaking so righteously, Wei Changying understood: This little girl is extremely playful and wants to see that there is no one in Xiliang to control her and she can run around wildly. Come down!
At that time, Wei Changying was extremely busy and had no time to give her more mushrooms. He only warned her with a cold face: "Since you insist on staying, it's okay, but you should act in a measured way. If you throw away the guards and run away alone , Call the guards to come and file a complaint, don’t blame my sister for being cruel! I really can’t send you back!”
As soon as Gu Rouzhang heard that she could stay temporarily, she immediately nodded with a smile on her face and vowed to obey Wei Zhangying in everything...
This time, in order to celebrate Song Zaishui's marriage, Wei Changying had a settlement, and it was a good settlement. He sent people to send gifts to everyone in the imperial capital. The size of the fleet was almost approaching the annual gift... If Gu Rouzhang hears this news, Maybe I would be worried that she would be caught and sent back together...
Thinking of Gu Rouzhang's troubles before, Wei Changying, Huang and He couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing, and they had no intention of dealing with Zhu Yi. The matter just passed. (To be continued)
