One day and one night after Shen Zanghui set out, he sent a guard back and asked Duanmu Xinmiao to return to the imperial capital with him.
... The words "care leads to chaos" are absolutely correct. He should have brought it up when he was saying goodbye to Wei Zhangying, but it took him a day to realize it.
Originally, Wei Changying could remind him, but that day, while Wei Changying was asking about the Cao Family Fort and thinking about the fight between Shen Youyi and Shen Lun, he was already doing two things at once, and Shen Zanghui was so anxious. He wanted to leave in a hurry - even packing a simple luggage for him was only reluctantly agreed to by Wei Zhangying after much persuasion.
So Wei Changying didn't have time to say anything - after sending Shen Zanghui away, Shen Youyi and Shen Lun came up to argue with her again, but they even forgot to mention it.
After listening to the guard's words, Duanmu Xinmiao was invited over and told the story in this way. However, Duanmu Xinmiao refused without even thinking, saying: "No, I want to wait for Caojiabao." information!"
"I'll take care of the matters at Caojiabao. I'll take care of it for you." Guard Chief Ying promised.
But Duanmu Xinmiao said: "I'm not here. Can you really handle it, third sister-in-law? But you told me before that my uncle was very cautious. He only raised three thousand taels for my sake." Golden test. Now, Mu Chunmian and his party haven't returned to Caojiabao yet? As a result, I went back to the imperial capital. What would my uncle think if he suspected that I had evil intentions and simply hid in the mountains? What if I don’t come out for the first time in my life?”
"This..." Wei Changying pondered for a moment, and then said, "Sister Xinmiao, please relax! No matter how wonderful the terrain of Caojia Fort is, it is always on the border of Xiliang, isn't it?"
You can't be soft but you can be hard, and you just have the courage to defeat Qiu Di - I don't believe that Caojiabao dared to rebel like this just for Ji Gu! The Shen family of Xiliang always kills all the troubles in Xiliang and never takes prisoners!
After hearing this, Duanmu Xinmiao's face darkened and he said, "What if my great uncle would rather die than surrender?!"
As soon as Wei Changying heard this, she knew that she would definitely not leave at this juncture, and felt very sad: Ji Gu was definitely not as important as Shen Shuxi in her mind, although she was both of them. I haven't seen it before, but Shen Shuxi is her niece after all, and Ji Gu is just looking out for the favor of Ji Qubing and Duanmu Xinmiao, but she has to go full circle.
But Duanmu Xinmiao is not a servant, and she is not inferior to Wei Changying in terms of status. This time she came all the way to treat Shen Zangfeng. Although Shen Xuan and his wife accepted her as their adopted daughter, after all, it was the Shen family that owed her a favor.
We can't force her to go on the road like we did with Gu Rouzhang...
Wei Changying tried several different words, but Duanmu Xinmiao shook his head and refused. Finally, he got tired of hearing it and simply stood up and walked away!
... Chang Ying, who was left behind, couldn't help but feel very embarrassed.
After Mrs. Huang knew about this, she comforted her: "Young Madam, please don't upset Miss Duanmuba. Miss Wusun is the niece of the Young Madam, so the Young Madam naturally feels sorry for her. But from Miss Duanmuba's point of view, , once a teacher, always a father, it is natural for her to be filial to her elders. Although Miss Duanmuba is now considered a young lady of our Shen family, we all know that the title of adopted daughter is just a formality... Yu Qing. You can't really expect her to treat all of the Shen family as her own."
In Huang's opinion, Shen Shuxi was not just a cousin, but even a biological niece, she was not Wei Changying's flesh and blood. Since she is not Wei Changying's flesh and blood, whether or not you feel sorry for her depends on whether or not there are any benefits. She thought it was not worth it to offend Duanmu Xinmiao, a cousin with whom she had never met, who had excellent medical skills and had always been friends with her.
Therefore, he vigorously talked about the benefits of Duanmu Xinmiao: "Since Miss Duanmuba arrived in Xiliang City, she has not only rejuvenated her but also cured our young master. Since the Lantern Festival, all the medical consultations, especially the free clinics at Taiping Restaurant, have been in the name of Mrs. Young Madam. In the name of the entrustment, this alone will be of great benefit to the young lady. Now that Miss Duanmu is unwilling to return to the imperial capital, you must force her to go. This eighth lady is not easy to negotiate, if she harbors resentment. , even though she was forcibly sent back, she still felt resentful and refused to treat Miss Wu Sun when she arrived in the imperial capital. Even the Madam couldn't force her. Why would the Young Madam be such a bad person for the sake of the fourth child? There are too many children. Even if Miss Duanmuba is gone, she may not be able to be saved if she really has no chance of being with our family. "
Wei Changying shook his head and said: "I'm not angry with Xinmiao. I know she is not me. I value Shu Xi more than Ji Gu, but I can't ask her to do the same. After all, Ji Qubing is my teacher and has been taught by him for many years. It's not me. In fact, if she is willing to go back to the imperial capital to save Shu Xi, I will be worried about it. I don't want to say whether there will be any assassins there, but she was so car-sick on the way here. It's amazing. We were still in the car to take care of her. It took her two days to recover when she arrived in Xiliang City. Even if I asked Zhu Lan and Zhu Shi to accompany her in the car, I was afraid they wouldn't be able to serve her. Come."
She sighed and said, "We are in a dilemma! The fourth brother and the fourth younger sister are both in good health, so why is this child Shu Xi so bad?"
Mrs. Huang comforted her and said, "Maybe Miss Wusun is just a little weaker now and will be fine as she grows up in the future."
"But I hope God will bless you." Wei Changying nodded slightly. He could only think this way about such a helpless matter.
Because of this incident, Duanmu Xinmiao refused to eat with Wei Changying for the next few days on the grounds that she had no time to be distracted while thinking about medical science.
It wasn't until that day that news came from Caojiabao, and Wei Changying sent Zhu Yi to tell her that she came over.
This time, Mu Chunmian came to report the news in person...
When Wei Changying saw that it was her again, he couldn't help but murmured in his heart that this female fortress owner was quite interesting. It was fine for a woman with no husband and children to occupy the position of fortress owner, but she actually went out in person every two days. Are you not worried that when you are not in the fort, your husband's relatives...for example, your brother-in-law Cao Yan, who was originally welcomed to succeed his brother as the fort master, but was forced out by Mu Chunmian and replaced him, will take advantage of her absence to incite the fort residents
Or is Ji Gu's matter so important to her that she doesn't trust anyone else to take care of it for her and would rather take risks
Wei Changying decided to cross-examine Mu Chunmian and Ji Gu later.
But no one expected that Mu Chunmian would not need to be questioned this time, so he happily did it himself—
Ji Gu is indeed still alive!
Although the previous analysis by the Chief of Guard Ying Xin was extremely likely that Ji Gu was still alive, it was not accurate after all. Duanmu Xinmiao was both hopeful and anxious, fearing that her joy would be in vain. Now Mu Chunmian confirmed it with his own words, and got a letter written by Ji Gu, which detailed several trivial matters that only the Ji family knew... Duanmu Xinmiao compared everything he had heard in front of his master one by one, and everything was consistent. It was true. So excited!
When her excitement calmed down a little, she suddenly became angry, slapped several cases fiercely, and shouted: "Then what did you not say last time?!"
Mu Chunmian smiled apologetically: "My father was deceived in his early years and almost lost his life. After that, he was frightened when he heard that someone was looking for him. I hope Miss will not care about it!" Wei Changying and Duanmu Xinmiao were both stunned.
After being stunned, the two of them didn't care to ask who Ji Gu had been deceived by, and asked in unison: "He is your father?!"
Mu Chunmian smiled slyly and introduced herself again: "The little woman Mu Chunmian should have taken her father's surname from Ji, and she should have been called Ji Chunmian. However, my father regretted that he had no children. The so-called no parents to protect him, and no heirs to inherit, so he was The little woman changed her surname to Mu."
The word "season" has been removed from the upper part and the lower part, wouldn't it mean wood
After a pause, she added, "The little woman's maiden name is 'Chun Mian'. My father lamented the loss of flesh and blood after the family changes, and recalled the days when the family lived peacefully in the imperial capital and slept well in the spring. So Given this name.”
...In a place like Caojiabao, except for Ji Gu, who was once an official son, there are really not many people who can read and give their daughters such elegant names as "Chun Mian". For example, Mu Chunmian's daughter Cao Ya, the young master of the Cao Family Fort, is still called "Yatou"...
Wei Changying composed himself and said, "So, you are the cousin of Divine Doctor Ji?"
"How is my great uncle now?" Duanmu Xinmiao asked immediately. After confirming that Ji Gu was still alive, Duanmu Xinmiao couldn't sit still. He almost wanted to jump up and rush over to write a letter to his master at any time. Annunciation. After all, she wanted to do this, but when she woke up, she only knew that Ji Gu was alive, had a daughter, and a granddaughter, but she hadn't asked about the specific situation.
Mu Chunmian leaned forward, pursed his lips and smiled: "Except for my father's legs and feet being a little inoperable due to old age, everything is fine." Then he answered Wei Changying's words, "Young lady is right, according to his bloodline, The little woman really wants to call Divine Doctor Ji ‘cousin’.”
Wei Changying frowned secretly - the owner of Caojia Fort was actually Ji Gu's daughter! The young master of the castle is Ji Gu's four or five-year-old granddaughter. Shen Lun said that Mu Chunmian's skills were extraordinary. Now look at it, where is Mu Chunmian's skills
The owner of the wooden fort may have some skills, but the greater reason why she was able to take charge of Caojia Fort even though her husband died without any children, and she received the support of her father Ji Gu is probably the bigger reason!
No wonder no news about Ji Gu has been spread in Caojiabao over the years. It turns out that this man has long been the father-in-law of the fortress owner! And judging from the sudden death of the previous castle lord Cao Bao, his younger brother Cao Yan was expelled, Mu Chunmian, a member of the female stream, came to the throne, and even appointed a still young girl as the young castle lord, Ji Gu may have already mastered it. The power of Caojiabao! With his support and presence, Mu Chunmian was able to usurp the position of castle master that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Cao family without experiencing fierce opposition. It's no wonder that she came to Xiliang in person these two times. After all, her biological father Ji Gu was in the Cao family fort, so what kind of trouble could Cao Yan and the entire Cao family create
The reason why Ji Gu hasn't changed Caojiabao to Jijiabao or Mujiabao yet is probably because he is afraid of attracting outside attention and exposing his existence. Otherwise, this Caojiabao would have changed its name long ago...
However, Wei Changying frowned, not because Ji Gu was deeply scheming, but because he thought: "Ji Gu has such a deep relationship with Caojiabao, but Yujia wants to use Caojiabao to conquer the Mengshan Gang. If the two sides fight, If there is a conflict, Xin Miao will definitely turn to her master's uncle to protect Caojiabao! This will be troublesome!"
Then his mind changed, and Wei Changying immediately asked with concern: "Mr. Ji's legs and feet are inconvenient? How could this be? Mr. Ji's medical skills are not bad, but is it because of the lack of medicinal materials in the Cao Family Fort?"
This reminded Duanmu Xinmiao, who was planning to ask something for her master, and she quickly asked: "What's wrong with my uncle's leg? Is it okay?" (To be continued)
