... After leaving Sikong Mansion and waiting for the carriage to arrive on the street, Shen Zangfeng whispered: "Grandfather Song is already old. Although my cousin Song is capable, he is still younger than the other princes in the court. And now in this world It's going to be chaotic. Logically speaking, Uncle Song shouldn't refuse medical treatment at this time."
Wei Changying rubbed his forehead and nodded: "Isn't it true? This uncle of mine has been in charge of the court since he was young. When I was at my parents' home, I often heard my mother praise him for his foresight, which was far beyond ordinary people. I really didn't expect him to do this... What on earth is going on? What? Even my eldest cousin couldn’t persuade them.”
Shen Zangfeng pondered: "I do have an idea, but after thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem right."
Wei Changying asked quickly: "What?"
"This may be a bit disrespectful to the elders. Let's just talk about it in private. Don't spread it." Shen Zangfeng said and glanced at the maids in the car. Zhu Yi and Zhu Xian hurriedly said: "The maids must not dare to talk too much." !”
These two are Wei Changying's confidants, and they can hear all the secrets. Just remind them.
So Shen Zangfeng glanced at them, turned around and continued to talk to his wife: "The Song family has been in love for generations, and Uncle Song also had a deep love for his late aunt. It's just that my aunt passed away many years ago, even though my uncle had a death wish. , but these years have passed, and it is said that the desire to die will not be easily aroused again at this moment; secondly, the Song family now has few heirs and lacks a mainstay. Uncle Song wants to die now, which means destroying the Song family. Uncle Song Being an only child doesn't mean this. Besides, the cousins in the Song family are very filial people, and so are the two current cousins, so I can't guess why Uncle Song did this. "
When the couple frowned and fell into deep thought, Song Zaitian saw off the guests in Sikong Mansion and returned to the back hall. However, he did not visit his father, but went back to his residence with his servant.
After entering the house, the waiter thoughtfully made tea for him.
Song Zaitian took a sip absentmindedly, put down the tea cup, and suddenly asked the boy: "Do you think they can detect the clues?"
The boy looked at him blankly. After a moment, he seemed to wake up and ran into the room and brought out a pot of fruit.
Song Zaitian waved his hand and asked him to put it down. He smiled mockingly and said, "I forgot that you can't hear again... But when I kept you here to listen to me, wasn't it just because you can't hear and can't read?"
He shook his head, looked sadly at the sky outside the house, and said to himself, "It is said that this cousin of the Wei family was overly pampered by her great-aunt and aunt in the boudoir, so the city is not deep, but the person who gave her a dowry from her great-aunt and aunt They are all very smart and capable. In addition, Yao Ye has always been thoughtful, so it is impossible for them to just sit back and watch such an abnormal thing... Oh! I only hope that God will bless them to guess, otherwise how could I, a man like me, say such things? ?”
When Shen Zangfeng and his wife returned to the Tutor's Mansion, they had to go to the upper room to see Mrs. Su first. Of course, Mrs. Su had to ask: "How is Sikong doing? Is the eldest son of Song okay? Now the eldest son of the Sikong Mansion has to be in charge of it alone. , I have to serve Sikong decoction, I feel very tired."
Because there were many people waiting on them at this time, the couple did not elaborate on Song Yuwang's unreasonable stubbornness, and only said a few perfunctory words. After asking Shen Shuguang, it turned out that he was picked up an hour ago, but Shen Zangji came over just now and teased his nephew for a few words. Knowing that there were no adults in the third room, Mrs. Su picked up her grandson to take care of her, and took her nephew with her when she left. Played in my yard for a while. He said hello to Mrs. Su. If Shen Zangfeng and his wife came back, just send someone to say so, and he would personally take his nephew back to the third room.
After learning the news, the two resigned and left the house. Shen Zangfeng told Shen Ju: "Go to Chuiyun Xiaozhu to pick up Guang'er. It's getting late, so don't bother fifth brother."
Despite this, Shen Zangji personally sent Shen Shuguang to Jintong Courtyard with Shen Ju.
Both uncle and nephew had very rosy faces, especially Shen Shuguang, whose face was as red as a lot of rouge. He was carried all the way into the house by Shen Zangji before he put him down on the ground. After a cursory salute, he approached his mother and shouted happily: "Mom, mother, my fifth uncle took me to ride a horse! My uncle's horse is so fast and so high." !”
Wei Changying didn't follow him and asked questions this time. He first reached out and touched his collar. Sure enough, it was wet. He hurriedly asked someone to prepare for his son's bathing. Because Shen Cangji, who took Shen Shuguang to ride horses, was still here, it was hard to blame his son for being sweaty and not taking a break, so he smiled and said, "But you pestered your fifth uncle to go there? You are so ignorant. , What if it delays your fifth uncle’s business?”
Hearing this, Shen Zangji hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, you still don't know about me? How can I have anything serious to do?"
Before Wei Changying answered, Shen Zangfeng said displeasedly: "Father just asked you to do a few errands two days ago, why did you leave them all to the staff again?"
"... Uh." Shen Zangji secretly cursed himself for being careless, actually forgetting that his third brother was also here. This was not the first time that he pushed all the opportunities and matters that his father and brother brought him to show his face to his staff, and he took advantage of it. I don’t want to exercise anymore. I have used all the excuses I could use before. Now I can’t think of a new reason. I am also afraid of being beaten and embarrassed in front of my sister-in-law and nephew, so I just come up with the thirty-sixth strategy. Hehehe laughed. After a few words, he said goodbye, but before Shen Zangfeng could give him permission, he ran away...
Witnessing this scene, Wei Changying was quite speechless and hurriedly led his son to talk about this and that, so that he would not pay attention to the appearance of his fifth uncle running away, so that he could at least cover his elder brother's dignity with his brother-in-law.
However, Shen Zangfeng's expression was not good-looking. With a sullen face, he ordered the copycat Shen Ju, who was waiting next, to ask: "Tomorrow, go find out what happened to his several errands!"
As a result, before the next day, Shen Zangji got Shen Zang angry again - probably after dinner, Shen Shuguang was sleepy because his uncle took him riding a horse. Wei Changying sent him to the couch and told him a story and a half. When he saw his eldest son, he grabbed his arm and fell asleep. He leaned over and kissed his forehead, carefully pulled out his sleeves... He went outside and gave instructions to the wet nurse. After being carefully looked after and served by others, they returned to the inner room where they and Shen Zangfeng were staying. The couple were about to settle in when a servant outside reported: "The fifth young master sent someone here because he forgot to ask the third young lady about something just now." .”
This sudden noise made both the couple deeply depressed. Shen Zangfeng gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "If this kid doesn't have a legitimate reason, let's see how I deal with him tomorrow!"
Then the person sent by Shen Zangji gave the reason: "The fifth young master has made an appointment with several young masters to race together tomorrow, because the young master of the Duanmu family got a rare wind-chasing horse some days ago, and the fifth young master now has several mounts. Not as good as anything. So I want to borrow the Third Young Madam’s ‘Red Flame’, I don’t know if that’s possible?”
"...I just said that you have already sent Shen Ju to pick up Guang'er, why do you want fifth brother to go out and go out in person?" Wei Changying helplessly shook his head: It was just a borrowed horse, and it was driven by his direct brother-in-law. Mouth, how could she refuse
But Shen Zangfeng shouted angrily: "No! Go back and tell that boy that if he doesn't go to the Yamen tomorrow to do his errands, he will continue to idle around with a bunch of idlers and do dogfights, and pay close attention to his family law!"
Wei Changying patted the back of his hand, but Shen Zangfeng ignored it and said in a deep voice through the door, "Just say that!"
The servant didn't dare to say anything, so he went quietly.
Shen Zangfeng then said to his wife: "The fifth brother is too shameless. If it were peacetime, he was the fifth son, and it would be okay to be a little more promiscuous. But when is it now? If we continue to let him be like this, the situation will be in chaos. On this occasion, if he can share the workload with the family, I'm afraid someone will have to take care of him!"
Wei Changying said: "I'm not interceding with him to let him continue to go horse racing tomorrow, but you said in front of the servants that you want to change his family law. After all, he is married now. If you don't think about him, you also want to I miss my fifth brother and sister!”
"..." Shen Zangfeng was a little embarrassed after hearing this. He had already formed a habit of lecturing his brothers. Shen Zangji repeatedly refused to learn the lesson. The person Chen Guang sent today was also the most unlucky. Shen Zangfeng felt angry. The tone became serious. I forgot that although my fifth brother has not shed his frivolous nature, he has now married his cousin. Even if he does not give face to his younger brother, he still has to take care of his cousin's face.
He coughed dryly and said, "This kid is so unsatisfactory. He was so angry that he actually forgot about it." He changed the topic, "You brought 'Red Flame' here? I thought you would keep it in Xiliang." "
"Isn't it wrong for such a good horse to be kept in Xiliang and waste time?" Wei Changying saw her husband's intention to change the subject, chuckled and said, "And it's not like you don't know that Yan'er likes it. That's incredible! When my sixth brother and I were in Xiliang, she would take turns taking her on rides every once in a while. This little girl is so ignorant. How dare she cause a poisonous mushroom incident. Keep 'Chi Yan' in Xiliang? What if something happens to her one day when she tries to ride on her without telling my eldest sister? How can I explain it to my second brother and sister-in-law?"
He added, "A horse as good as 'Chi Yan' is one of the best in the world. The current situation is about to be chaotic. I think that although your mount is good, it may not be as good as it. I will bring it here to think about it." For your use."
Shen Zangfeng kissed her on the cheek and said with a smile: "Yier has said so much, but actually she still thinks about her husband. I am really happy for her."
Shen Zangfeng told her with a smile, "Didn't the fifth brother and the sixth brother compete with the Di girl from the Wugumen tribe before and lose again and again because of their horse power? And because of the matter that almost killed your white horse, we bought it in Xiliang The horses were not trusted. After my father learned about this, he paid special attention to the horses. It was a coincidence that he got a few reliable horses from Donghu last year, but they were no worse than "Chi Yan". My husband has gotten used to riding it over the past few months, so I’ll keep Ying’er’s horse ‘Red Flame’ and ride it together during our free time.”
"Traveling together?" Guard Chief Ying glanced at him sideways and said with a smile, "This is not Xiliang. If I do this, I'm afraid I will cause gossip!"
Then he asked curiously, "It is said that the horses and horses are unique. How many horses can my father get at one time?"
Shen Zangfeng fiddled with her long hair and said lazily: "Of course there is a reason... Actually, it came from the Liu family."
"I see." Wei Chang Ying Yi said: There is no grassland in the Central Plains, so he cannot breed excellent horses. Really good horses must come from Di and Rong. On the Di people's side, because of the white horse that almost killed them, all the best horses in the Xiliang army were replaced, and they repeatedly traced their origins for fear of being tricked again. Even the Shen family had a top-notch mount that was one of a kind before, but they did not dare to use it casually for safety reasons. All of a sudden, there was a gap in the good mount.
Fortunately, in addition to the Di Kingdom in the west, the grassland in the north is also one of the birthplaces of horses - Donghu is different from Xiliang. The entire Xiliang is a city of the Wei people, and there are only a few towns in the grassland. They were often exposed to war, so good horses could only be bought or stolen from the Di people. A small portion of Donghu is grassland, and the Liu family has specially designated a land with abundant water and grass to graze their horses. The horses selected in this way are no worse than those obtained from foreign races, and their origins are pure and reliable.
Of course, the Liu family itself also has to defend itself against the Rong people. The Liu family will definitely not have too many good horses of the level of "Chi Yan". But Yanzhou was occupied by Lu Haozhi, and the Liu family was eager to capture Yanzhou... It was probably Shen Zangli who went to lead the army, and Shen Xuan took the opportunity to make a deal.
