"The cherries today are pretty good. Zhu Yi, go pick a basket and send it to the inn later." In the afternoon, Wei Changying took a nap. Through the green screen window, he heard Mr. He outside shouting in a low voice, "Let's see what that one is called." Mo... Call the Di man in Mo Ye, if he needs something, pick it up and fill it up. Tell the people at the inn to put it on our young lady's account!"
Zhu Yi responded with a smile and said: "The people at the inn know that Mo Ye saved the young lady and gave him everything! The two times my servant went there, I can't tell what he lacks. It's all in the inn." The best thing. Even if it is missing, the inn will definitely not ask our young lady to provide it."
Zhu Yi is the son of the Shen family, Xiliang Shen, Xiliang Shen. Although Xiliang has always been the territory of the Wei Dynasty in name, in fact, it has been the Shen family that has the final say hundreds of years ago.
In Zhu Yi's eyes, since he was a child, the post station in Diecuiguan, the most important town in Xiliang, is the private property of the Shen family. The future mistress of the Shen family wants to add a few things to the inn, why should she pay for it herself
"What do you know?" Hearing Zhu Yi say this, the guard chief Ying in the inner room frowned slightly, and the He family outside also yelled in a slightly higher voice, "Who doesn't know that Moye saved us now that the Diecui is shut up and down? Young Madam? But he also saved our Young Madam! So it is Young Madam who repays him, not the Shen family! What do you mean by asking the station to pay? Money? You’re short-sighted! Don’t be too smart and make a mistake!”
Zhu Yi was scolded and quickly apologized: "My maid is stupid. Auntie, please don't be as knowledgeable as my maid. I just think... I don't want the young lady to pay for it!"
"Then tell them they must take what is due!" He said cheerfully, "Our young lady is not an ungrateful person. Moye saved the young lady, and the young lady has taken care of him frequently these days. These are the young lady's Madam, she came out of her own body and has nothing to do with the Shen family! If the people at the inn are unwilling to accept it, tell me and I will tell them!"
When Zhu Yi heard this, he was determined to give him money. He apologized and said with a smile: "Auntie, you have already said what you said. If I don't do well again, how can I have the nerve to serve the young lady? Don't worry, I will You must explain it clearly to those postmen!"
After sending Zhu Yi to deliver the cherries, He sighed on the porch and then went into the house to check with some worries. After entering the door, she saw that Wei Changying had already stood up and was tying up her long hair with a hairpin that she had untied when she took a nap. He walked over and took the hairpin to tidy up for her, scolding her lightly: "Since young lady is awake, why don't you do it?" Not calling anyone?”
"I just woke up. I thought that my aunt told Zhu Yi that the matter would definitely come in, so I'll do it myself." Wei Changying said, "Anyway, it's summer, so there's nothing burdensome... Are the cherries good today?"
He said: "Yes, I really can't believe that there is a place in Xiliang where you can see vast tracts of cherry groves - this Diecuiguan is simply the land in the south of the Yangtze River in Xiliang."
Wei Changying said with a smile: "There are also those green waterfalls, the scenery is so pleasant, I almost doubt it is some kind of cave."
"Shuangcui Mountain is also very beautiful... Alas, people from Di often come to the pass to spy on people, so the young lady should not go out of the city again." Mr. He followed her and complimented casually, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong and hurriedly He changed his tone and persuaded, "What happened last time was reported back to Xiliang City, but it frightened both the maid and Sister Huang! It was only when the maid arrived at Diecui Pass that she realized that she came on horseback. I wonder when my maid will have to ride a horse! It’s not my maid’s nagging. Young Madam, you are too willful this time! You know that Diecui Pass has a small village, and it is impossible to completely block Di Renqian. How come you have to go out to race? You are lucky! If not, how can you explain to our old lady, madam, and young master!"
Wei Changying has been told by He Shi countless times in the past few days - she originally went to Diecuiguan with only a few maids to serve her, but after being almost killed by the Di people last time, she was left together in Xiliang The two aunts in Cheng were frightened to death when they received the news. Huang made the decision immediately and sent people to escort He to Diecuiguan to keep an eye on Wei Changying.
As soon as Mr. He arrived, he personally saw that Wei Changying was fine, and began to scold her for her waywardness with snot and tears... Wei Changying was so frightened by her talking about it that he took her out to enjoy the scenery together.
This Diecuiguan is not only an important town in Xiliang, but also has many scenic spots. The master and servants saw it with gusto. But this doesn't mean that He has forgotten what Wei Changying did, isn't he talking about it again now
Wei Changying quickly apologized for her smile: "Aunt He, I told you, it was all an accident. Firstly, I didn't know that the horse had been tampered with by the Di people. Secondly, I asked the former guard before I went out to race. . The guard said it was okay, so I just..."
"Then the guard is so good, how can you believe his words?" Although He had never seen the guard who was dismissed because he almost cost the life of the future mistress of the Shen family, this did not prevent her from being angry. He scolded this person, "As the guard of Diecui Pass, I don't even recognize Wugu Meng's most proud horse, so I won't say it. He knows that the Di people make a living as nomads and there are many good horses in the family. He wants to sacrifice the horse with the young master. Madam, I didn’t even figure out the origin of the horse! It almost hurt the young madam..."
Well, Aunt He held the handkerchief again and burst into tears...
Guard Chief Ying held his chin in depression and said, "Auntie, the guard has been withdrawn."
"Good retreat!" He shouted loudly and powerfully, "Such a stupid and confused thing almost missed the young lady last time, and she might miss the Diecui Pass at some point!"
Chief Wei Ying sighed: "Okay, let's not talk about this... Let's go to Cuiyou Pavilion tomorrow? What can we bring to eat?"
It's a pity that she wanted to change the topic, but He didn't say enough yet, and said seriously: "Young Master, you still have to work hard with Guan Shiyi. You can go to Cuiyou Pavilion to enjoy the scenery at any time. But the most important thing right now is It’s impossible to come up with a charter!”
"Auntie, are you talking about repaying that Mo Ye? I also have a headache!" Wei Changying sighed.
Of course it's a good thing to be rescued from near death.
Is it just a matter of repaying a favor...
The identity of the Moye Di people, or the identity of the envoy who came with the intention of peace talks with Ayitahu, the two now divided Di people, who has claimed to be the Great Chanyu, has already given Wei Changying a headache:
If he were from Wei, either Wei Changying or Shen Zangfeng could easily return the favor. But he happens to be from Di!
Since ancient times, it has been a custom to repay kindness by drops of water and springs.
The more noble a person is, the more they pay attention to this...
After all, no one with status can bear the reputation of "receiving a favor without repaying it", not to mention hoping that someone will save him the next time he is in danger.
Not to mention a life-saving grace!
Mo Ye could respond in an understatement over and over again, but how could Wei Changying dare to do this? There is no such thing as really obeying Mo Yequan. If the Di people don't tell them, the Wei people will definitely criticize the third young lady of the Shen family for being so heartless.
As the eldest daughter of Ruiyu Hall who was pampered by her elders and grew up, Wei Changying would not take such discussions too seriously. She never asked about Shen Zangfeng's business, but she also knew that this peace talk would not only affect Qiu Di or For the Shen family, and even the Wei Dynasty, it was very complicated, and it was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface. She would never give up what Mo Ye planned! Since he can't give it, Mo Ye is holding on to his identity as the savior and refuses to let him return the favor, and Wei Changying doesn't want to be verbose with him anymore... Anyway, the benefits he can give are limited to that. If he exceeds that, I'm sorry and there's nothing else. No.
This is Wei Changying's heartfelt wish. She is not someone who can be manipulated if someone takes advantage of her!
But she is still a mother today.
Shen Shuguang is still young, but as a mother, she cannot help but think about her son - having an ungrateful mother is not a good thing for a child.
If nothing unexpected happens, Shen Shuguang will be the next leader of the Shen clan. To take on such a large family, no advantage can be spared. Comparing the care and cultivation of her grandmother, Mrs. Song, when she was growing up, Wei Changying remembered her grandmother's meticulous protection and help to her, and she tried her best to provide the same care and help to her son -
What happened outside Fengzhou City before leaving the cabinet cannot be explained or publicly proven; Princess Anji’s recklessness and confusion in recommending the consort cannot be changed; she believed the words of the guard who was eager to show off and left the country without asking her husband for confirmation and almost lost her husband. The loss of a young son to his mother was a recent crime.
In Wei Changying's life, he has made three major mistakes, regardless of minor ones.
Of these three mistakes, the first one was not actually her fault, but it was definitely her fault in public opinion; the second time made her deeply understand what "confusion" meant.
The most unforgettable one was the third time.
It was not because of the thrill of facing life and death this time, but because of the thrill of this time that she suddenly reminded her of the biggest difference between this time and the previous two times: now, she was not only the apple of Mrs. Song's eye, but also Shen Zangfeng's beloved wife, and Shen Zangfeng's beloved wife. Shu Guang's mother.
As a granddaughter, if she makes a mistake, she has a kind grandmother to make up for it; as a wife, if she makes a mistake, her loving husband helps to smooth things over; but as a mother, if she makes a mistake, should her young children be responsible for it
At that moment, Wei Changying suddenly understood why when he left the cabinet, his grandmother and mother had already said once, "When you leave the cabinet, you will be an adult." But after Shen Shuguang was born, when he wrote a letter to congratulate him, he wrote, "As a mother, I will become an adult." You are an adult." She had never paid attention to this sentence in her letters home. She only said that her grandmother and mother lamented the passing of time... Only at the moment she closed her eyes and waited for death did she understand: It turns out that growing up is like this - becoming a wife is just one step; becoming a mother is just one step. Another step.
The difference is that when you are a woman, you still have a little room for willfulness; but when you are a mother... Even though a young child cannot have any forced restraint on the mother, the shackles of the child are heavier than any lock in the world. , may be the heaviest, longest and most helpless shackles in a person's life, and there is no key to open it - bone within bones, flesh within flesh, blood within blood, where the heart and soul reside, and are inextricably connected. How many people can break it open?
But this pair of shackles is one that everyone willingly and diligently accepts and obeys...
For the sake of Shen Shuguang, Wei Changying could not and did not dare to allow himself to make any more mistakes!
She had secretly sworn when Mo Ye appeared that she would never leave any excuse for her children to talk to anyone - so now, how to repay Mo Ye must be discussed carefully.
... The day after Moye and his party checked into Diecuiguan, Wei Changying spent one night to urgently raise a thousand taels of gold and a handful of pearls to send.
A life worth a thousand gold dendrobium beads, although Wei Changying's own dowry alone is worth far more than this, but to ordinary people, a thousand gold is still an extremely astonishing amount. If Mo Ye is willing to accept it, Wei Changying can reluctantly repay the favor... When Mo Ye was at Diecuiguan, if he took care of him like this now, the matter would almost be over.
However, just as she feared - this reward was rejected without any room for change. (To be continued)
