The two sisters-in-law argued back and forth for half an hour. Each had their own reasons, and neither one was willing to give in.
Finally, Wei Changying looked at the time. It was almost time for Shen Shuxie to finish his homework and come to find him.
She became impatient, put on a straight face, picked up the tea bowl, and said: "I heard that Sister-in-law Shi, you are also the head of the family at home. Why do you seem so free now? Even if you are free, our affairs are not What does it have to do with you? You and I are of the same generation. Even if it is an aunt and uncle from the clan, there is absolutely no reason to interfere in our backyard, right? Or did I offend Sister-in-law Shi somewhere? You don’t know it, but you are using this matter to seek justice from me? Just tell me, and I will serve you tea to apologize!”
After speaking, he took a sip of tea. This meant that if Qian couldn't find anything to offend Wei Changying, he should drink tea and leave as soon as possible.
Qian was sent here to stir up trouble today, and he was also a sensible person. He could see that Wei Changying was going to mess around with Ji Chunmian's matter. In fact, although Wei Changying invited Ji Chunmian to help manage the affairs, although the clan members and the family were very dissatisfied, but in principle, she was the wife of the clan leader. Now she just invited Ji Chunmian to come into the backyard to help manage the affairs, and did not say that she would Ji Chunmian was involved in something secret or important. She should have the final say in the Mingpeitang backyard.
At this moment, Wei Changying took on this important role and showed that he was not going to give in. Although Qian still had plans, she was just taking the lead and was not the one who could make the decision. After thinking about it, I felt that the purpose of coming here to test today had been achieved, so I said a few words to the scene, got up and went back.
After she left, Wei Changying sighed and asked someone to take away the tea and bring it up instead of ginseng soup. While drinking, he asked Lianju to rub his forehead. Just close your eyes and think about what to do next
Ji Chunmian was actually just a cover. Even Wei Changying only expected her to take care of his external affairs. People from the Qian family came over to argue with her for a long time. In the final analysis, they still wanted to be the leader of the clan...or the real power of Ming Peitang.
It's no wonder that they have this idea. If it were normal times, Shen Zangfeng would be the successor who had been announced a long time ago, and he was quite capable. Even if his parents died early and too young, as long as he was careful not to make a big mistake, he would be pulled into the family. The possibility of going down is not very high.
But now that the world is in chaos, there is no time for him to slowly strengthen himself.
Moreover, Xiliang and Fengzhou are far apart. Even though Wei Huan, his wife and Wei Zhenghong are both wealthy people, they can't help their son-in-law now. It's a good time for other branches.
The most important thing is that the competition among the heroes is about to begin now - the Shen family has a great advantage. Once they get it, they will be the supreme master!
If the Shen family were still ministers, for the sake of stability, they would simply get close to Shen Zangfeng, and it would not be difficult to earn a good future for their descendants in the future. For example, Wei Yu of the Fengzhou Wei family, although he did not get a good position, it was probably due to his own insistence. After all, he had been in the first rank position.
A powerful minister does not necessarily have to be a leader.
But there is only one throne!
With such a temptation... one can only imagine the tribe's will to seize power.
"Well, the backyard is just a trail. In the final analysis, victory or defeat still depends on the front." Wei Changying speculated on the follow-up of this matter, shook his head helplessly, thought of several ways to deal with it, and asked Lian Ju, "Where's Xie'er? Why haven't you come here yet?"
Normally at this time, Shen Shuxie would have come over to pester her mother. It was also for this reason that Wei Changying quickly drove away the Qian family.
Lianju hurriedly said: "To tell you what Madam, the Fourth Miss just sent someone over to pick up the Fourth Young Master."
"Please go over there and take a look. Don't let them get too tired from playing." Wei Changying ordered, even though Huo Qingling was watching over Shen Shuyan, so there wouldn't be any major problems. But Huo Qingling was not in good health and often had to take a rest. Shen Shuyan was not a very careful person, and she might accidentally cause her cousin to stumble.
She really got her guessing. When Shen Shuxie was brought back, his face was dirty and the hem of his robe was torn. Seeing his mother looking there, he quickly covered it with his hands and said with a smile, "The child is walking by the flower bed. Carefully caught by the flower branches."
"During the twelfth lunar month of winter, your sixth aunt will let you go to the courtyard?" Wei Changying glared at this little son who couldn't tell lies, and shouted, "What on earth is going on?"
Seeing Shen Shuxie keep rubbing towards him without saying a word, making it clear that he wanted to get past him - Wei Changying pointed his finger at his forehead and took out his trump card: "Your favorite glutinous rice balls..."
"When I was fooling around with my fourth sister, I accidentally got caught by a few corners and broke it." Shen Shuxie was hit in the vital part, lowered his head and said in frustration.
"I told you that you have to take good care of him now and don't be too naughty!" If this little son is strong and healthy, it would be okay for him to play around. The problem is that Shen Shuxie has to drink the medicine all the way until his hair is tied. Ji Qubing has repeatedly told him that he must persist in recuperating and recuperating for more than ten years - what kind of recuperation is so exhausting
Wei Changying looked at him with a headache and scolded, "Why are you disobedient? It's got caught on your clothes, what if you bump into me? You have to have some sense of control when it comes to making a scene! You..."
After saying a few words, he remembered something. He was too busy to scold his son and reached out to touch the back of his clothes. Sure enough, it was damp. He immediately frowned and told Lianzhu, "Go get hot water and bathe and change Xie'er!"
After sending Shen Shuxie to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes, Wei Changying called down the worried-looking Niu.
Niu himself knew it well. As soon as Shen Shuxie went out, he knelt down before Wei Changying could say anything and said cautiously: "My maid is guilty!"
"Earlier, I thought you were Zhu Yi's aunt. I thought that Zhu Yi was a fine person during her lifetime. Unfortunately, she died in the emperor's youth when she was still young. Her relatives are always more reliable." Wei Changying saw that she had already He excused himself and said coldly, "Especially since you have a son and a daughter yourself. Although Xie'er is naughty, it's not difficult to take care of him. And with Lianzhu and the others helping, there's no problem in taking care of him like this." Right? It turns out that you knew Xie'er was seriously ill and shouldn't play too much, but you still let him come back covered in sweat. It seems that you are very dissatisfied with this job, so you are so negligent. ?"
Mrs. Niu was in so much pain that she couldn't express it. She kowtowed hard and said, "Madam, how could I dare to forget what you told me? But today, my maid... I really didn't expect to sit in the side room." At this time, the fifth lady locked the maid inside! The Sixth Lady outside did not dare to disturb the dizzy Sixth Lady, so she did not give the maid to her until the Fourth Young Master and the Fourth Young Lady and the Fifth Young Lady were tired. Open the door, maid..."
"Why are the sixth siblings dizzy again today?" Wei Changying frowned. She was asking Huo Qingling, but in her heart she was a little angry at Shen Shuxi... She said lightly, "You are all locked up. ? Even if the people at Sixth Brother and Sister are confused, why didn't anyone come back to tell me? "
Mr. Niu lowered his head and said, "Your servant and Lianzhu are all locked up." Does this mean they are all locked up
"Yan'er has always been cunning. Xi'er follows her cousin and is often naughty. It's not like you just came in to serve outside. You don't know them two yet? Xi'er asked you all to come in, but Xie'er is not here. , you also listen to her?" Wei Changying couldn't imagine that the person he chose to serve his second son could be so stupid, and said angrily, "Do you have any brains?"
"... At that time, the fourth young master was following the maids, so the maids all entered the house. However, the fifth young lady said that she had something to do and wanted to go out. After a while, she called the fourth young lady outside. The maids coaxed the fourth young lady. The young master was playing. Not long after, the fourth young master broke away from the maid and ran into the inner room, saying that he wanted to see what was inside." Niu said with a bitter smile, "It's the maid's fault for being a step too slow to catch up with the fourth young master. Then the door was closed. The maid was afraid that the Fourth Young Master was behind the door, so she only dared to open it cautiously. However, she didn't want to go inside and lifted the curtain a few times, only to find that the window was closed and was blocked by something from the outside. It’s not open. But there is an embroidery stool underneath..."
Wei Changying's eyes narrowed: "Why did Xie'er climb out of the window? So, he ran outside into the snow?"
When she said the last sentence, she couldn't help but shout loudly!
This little son almost died once, but he was saved with great difficulty. Ji Qubing worked hard to save his life - he was told not to let him touch cold things in winter. Last time at Shen Zangzhu's place, he just took Hanbing in his mouth and coughed when he came back. For several days, it was taboo to catch a cold like this. Wei Changying had already told him to stay in a place with earth dragons throughout the winter!
Fortunately for him, he actually ran into the snow!
I am angry that my son is ignorant, and I hate that Niu is so incompetent that he was tricked by a few children! Wei Changying was even annoyed with his two nieces at this moment - Shen Shuyan is eleven years old this year and will be twelve soon. At this age, you can even kiss her! If you don't feel so sorry for your daughter or have other reasons, you can leave the court at the age of twelve or thirteen!
And Shen Shuxi is one year older than Shen Shuxie!
Even if these two nieces didn't know that Shen Shuxie had been buried alive, they should still know that their cousin was in poor health. But he still encouraged him to run in the ice and snow. At this moment, Wei Changying even suspected that his son's clothes were torn by branches in the flower bed. Could it be true? He was sweating all over from playing. Could it be that he was in the courtyard and not in the house as she thought
Thinking of this, Wei Changying was so angry that he ordered Niu to be given ten slaps and be kicked out of the backyard. He even punished the maids who were bathing Shen Shuxie. Finally, he slapped several cases severely. , scolded angrily: "You all have to remember this! No one is allowed to pick up Xie'er in the future!"
This time she was really angry, both angry and disappointed, so she punished the servants. Wei Changying decided not to pretend to be confused about the minor mistakes of his nieces. With a livid face, he sent the two of them to Huo Qingling and Shen Zangzhu respectively, asking Shen Shuyan and Shen Shuxi to come see him early the next morning!
Although girls should be pampered, it is annoying to be pampered to the point where you don’t know your priorities! Not only is it annoying, but it can cause big trouble if you're not careful!
Wei Changying felt that these two nieces should be given some color. (To be continued)
