When Shen Chu came, Shen Die came back sweating profusely. Seeing that Wei Zhang Ying was there, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"No need to be polite, let's get down to business." For more than an hour, Wei Changying went from inquiring about information to questioning openly. Seeing that her husband was not impatient, he threw aside the teachings of his parents' family and simply formally I asked about these things in the front yard.
As expected, Shen Zangfeng only nodded slightly when he saw her overstepping his duty.
"Reply to the Master and Madam." Shen Die looked a little embarrassed when he saw that Wei Changying was about to listen. He muttered for a moment before saying, "The cause of the matter is this: a commander of the Qingzhou Army fell in love with a lover in the capital. I don’t want that lover to be restless and hook up with someone from our Xiliang Army behind his back... Today, both sides went to look for the woman and bumped into each other, so... "
Shen Zangfeng frowned and asked, "Where did that woman come from?"
"I heard that she was originally from a good family, but her husband was killed by the soldiers, and she was also taken prisoner by the soldiers. It was not until we recovered the imperial capital that she was released and returned home. But because her husband was taken away by the soldiers, The family refused to let her in, so they made a secret door.”
Guard Chief Ying immediately became alert: "Have the people from the Xiliang Army who came to find this woman checked?"
When the Rong invaded the imperial capital before, almost all the men, young and old, who could not escape were killed. On the other hand, most of the women were left behind because they had to provide for their entertainment.
So now, both inside and outside, there are many women who have lost their attachment and have to resort to sex to survive. After all, it’s not like there are no people in the famous families who pride themselves on their integrity who are greedy for life and afraid of death. It is said that the people in the warehouse know the etiquette from the facts. Although some widows from poor families were martyred after being humiliated, there were also many who persisted in surviving.
But these days, it is very difficult for a woman to live without the support of her natal family or her husband's family. In order to survive, apart from selling themselves, it is indeed difficult for them to have any other way out.
But since this woman had already seduced a commander--when the army recaptured the imperial capital and Yanzhou, although they didn't find much food and grass, they intercepted a lot of money and silk. The results of the Rong people's search in the east and west were all in favor of the three frontier armies after their defeat. Although the boss and the generals must have taken the bulk of it, everyone below could still drink the soup.
It is said that one chief can already support this woman. Even if it is not enough, she has the same chief of the Qingzhou Army. If she looks for someone else, she will try to find a small leader instead of an ordinary soldier.
Besides, why was it such a coincidence that both of them happened to be looking for the woman at the same time
"I checked, but he was just an ordinary soldier." Shen Die said with a wry smile, "After repeated questioning, he said that he had drunk too much and went to look for the woman. When he saw someone there, he didn't pay attention to his origin and just used it. The commander of the Qingzhou Army was alone at the time and was unprepared, so he was beaten to death by the soldier and thrown out of the door. Later, the commander found someone to retaliate, but the soldier jumped over the wall by chance. Escape, return to our Xiliang army and bring a group of comrades to take revenge... After this back and forth, things will become big. "
After a pause, he said, "Shortly after the younger one left, Fifth Young Master Su also arrived."
"What did Yu Wu say?" Wei Changying asked hurriedly.
Shen Die said: "The Fifth Young Master Su said it was just a small incident. The soldiers in our army drank too much, and the commander of the Qingzhou Army was also angry for a moment. Although many people were injured on both sides, fortunately no one was killed, so I advocated Let it go."
Wei Changying breathed a sigh of relief first, but she knew that Su Xiu Ming had the final say on the Qingzhou Army now, not Su Yuwu, so she asked again: "Where are the two uncles?"
"Before I came back, I heard that Mr. Su and Mr. Su were involved in something, but I haven't asked about it yet."
It must be an excuse. Su Yuwu ran over there in person, and it involves the army. How can Su Xiu Ming and Su Xiu Wei not know
Wei Changying looked at her husband.
Shen Zangfeng said calmly: "Although it is said that Yu Wu made people disperse, in the end this matter was caused by our soldiers of the Xiliang Army beating the commander of the Qingzhou Army first. You can send a backup gift to the Qingzhou Army. Make amends and beat that soldier with a stick."
After Shen Die took the order and left, Chief Wei said: "It seems that Yuwu is still facing us."
"It's my third uncle who loves us." Shen Zangfeng said calmly.
Wei Changying was reminded by him and realized that what Shen Die said about Su Xiu Ming and Su Xiu Wei was not necessarily an excuse. It should be that Su Xiu Wei managed to entangle Su Xiu Ming, and then let Su Yu Wu go over to make the matter a trivial matter. Now that Shen Zangfeng went to the steps given by Su Yuwu to give gifts to apologize, and beat the soldiers on his side who provoked the trouble, then the matter was nothing more than a trivial matter.
As long as Shen Duoyi delivers the gift, the Shen clan members and Su Xiu Ming will not be able to make a fuss about this matter - it was originally a private grudge between a soldier and a soldier. This kind of trivial matter is not reported inside or outside the imperial capital. Several hundred pieces? Shen Zangfeng sent his personal bodyguards to deliver gifts to apologize, and also beat up those who caused trouble. What else do you want
"Thankfully Third Uncle is here." Wei Changying secretly rejoiced, but she also knew that Su Xiuwei was willing to do this not just for the Shen family, but also because the blood relationship and friendship between her father and son were better than that of Su Xiu Ming. To be close, Shen Zangfeng taking charge of Mingpeitang is more beneficial to Su Xiuwei and his son than others coming to power.
But then again, the in-law relationships among the six clans in the country are intricate. In the final analysis, aren't they just for profit? Even her marriage to Shen Zangfeng was not like this, but they just happened to be in love.
Shaking his head, not thinking about the coldness hidden under the tenderness, Wei Changying knew that the conflict between the border troops was about to be resolved, so he told his husband why he came: "It's getting hot today, but it's hot near the imperial capital. Wu Pianbing. The others can just pay it off. I heard from the maid that the second brother’s injury has not completely scabbed over yet, and Guang’er and Xie’er are still young and might not be able to withstand the heat, so I thought about finding a place to send it to him. Are they going to escape the summer heat? Anyway, the Xiliang Army is in Gyeonggi Province now, so it’s convenient to send someone to escort them.”
Although she had been staying with her husband for more than an hour, the two of them had talked about meeting with the border troops, and Shen Zangfeng had to change a few important documents, but they had not yet had time to explain the reason for coming here today.
"The summer in the imperial capital is indeed hot, but where is a good place to escape the heat nearby?" Shen Zangfeng pondered for a moment and sighed, "In the early years, the royal family built a summer palace in the nearby mountains, and our families also have There is a separate courtyard near the palace, but since the decline of the Wei Dynasty, the palace there has been in disrepair, and the emperor has not been able to go there, so we have not been there much. "
It doesn't matter that it has been uninhabited for many years. The Wei Dynasty was in decline and could not even afford to repair the palace.
But Weyue has not declined. Even if it is a villa that has not been visited for many years, basic maintenance and repairs are still in place. Even if the person in charge is slacking off because the owner has not been there, each family has more than one courtyard there, and for each house and branch, there are always a few that can be occupied in the near future.
The problem is, "It is inconvenient to transport baggage in the mountains, and it is also inconvenient for troops to be stationed. It is too dangerous."
Wei Changying frowned, and after a moment of silence, he said: "I didn't think about the other courtyard in the palace. I was wondering if it should be sent... to the south?"
She was not born and raised in the Imperial Capital, and was not familiar with its surroundings. If Shen Zangfeng hadn't said it, she wouldn't have thought of the palace at all.
"Do you want to send the second brother and the others to your parents' house?" Shen Zangfeng heard what she meant and muttered, "Ruiyu Hall is very stable now. My father-in-law and Changfeng are both well-educated people, as well as my grandfather and the master of Zhijiaozhai." For such a profound elder, it would be a benefit if Guang'er and Xie'er stayed together in the morning and evening.
Guard Chief Ying Moran, it's too far - otherwise, she would have had people prepare carriages and horses before she came. I was also undecided, so I came to discuss it with my husband to see what he wanted.
In fact, Wei Changying wanted to send these people to his parents' home not entirely because of the hot summer, but more because of Shen Shuguang's consideration.
This eldest son was greatly stimulated during the breakout, and now he is so sensible that it makes people feel sad and worried. Wei Changying privately enlightened and comforted him more than once, but Shen Shuguang complied obediently every time. Even now, he still looks indifferent and depressed, which makes Wei Changying feel extremely uncomfortable.
She quietly asked Mr. Huang for advice, but Mr. Huang had no good solution, so he suggested changing Shen Shuguang's environment: "The second young master became like this, firstly because he was frightened, and secondly because he was overly sad. Since he was rescued, , The second young master has been wandering around the capital, I am afraid that he can see familiar scenes even if he opens his eyes or closes his eyes, how can it be easily forgotten or forgotten? "
Wei Changying thought this was right.
But if she had free time, it would not be difficult to change the environment with her son. Now she has so many things to do every day. If she wants to talk to her two sons or spend time with them, she has to reduce her time to rest or eat. As wished.
And if she can't accompany her, of course the one she trusts the most is her mother's family.
What's more, although Zhang Luoning, the teacher originally chosen by Shen Shuguang for enlightenment, survived by luck, he is too busy arranging his own family's funeral, so how can he still find the time to teach Shen Shuguang
There are no more Hongru people in Ruiyu Hall.
From the three generations of Wei Huan to his grandson, as well as the famous domestic scholar Wei Zhijiao, any one of them would be more than enough to teach Shen Shuguang's literary affairs.
… It’s just too far.
Regardless of whether Shen Lianshi could travel such a long distance due to his injuries, Wei Changying couldn't bear to think of Shen Shuguang and Shen Shuxie returning to him after a narrow escape, only to have to send them away again just a few months after their reunion.
Now Shen Zangfeng also objected, and Wei Changying was both disappointed and relieved.
After a moment of silence, she said sadly: "Then I'll go to the south with someone to buy ice."
Shen Zangfeng sighed and patted the back of his wife's hand comfortingly: "I'll think of a solution."
"Don't worry too much." Wei Changying shook his head, "These things are for me to deal with. Don't you have enough things to do here?" He glanced at the mountains of official documents surrounding him.
Shen Zangfeng smiled bitterly. (To be continued)
