According to Shen Zangning's idea, since the wedding is in late May, it should be okay for her to stay for two more days. After all, it is probably impossible to return to Xiliang after leaving the cabinet.
But Wei Changying calculated the time and didn't agree - it would be fine if he dressed lightly and simply obeyed. The key was how could there only be a few people to get married officially
This person will inevitably slow down when he travels a lot. If he doesn't leave enough time, he will definitely miss the auspicious date. That's very bad.
So in late March, Shen Zangning left the ancestral hall with regret and boarded the car.
Along with her, besides Shen Lianshi and Shen Shuming who were getting married, there was also Gu Sheng. This young lady from the Gu family has lived in the Shen family for several years, and now the second aunt is about to officially move in, so she just takes her back. Anyway, the Shen family no longer needs her as a hostage, and it is impossible for her to live in the Shen family forever.
Gu Sheng was a little reluctant to leave when he left.
The eldest princess of Linchuan was not very old when she was martyred, and after being stimulated, she did not remember her parents very much. But like Shen Shuxie, he has not been affected too much by the big changes and still maintains the mentality of a child.
The Shen family has many female relatives. Girls her age have not yet reached the age of Huaichun, so they prefer to play with girls of the same age. Shen Shuyan's temperament has changed drastically since she was hit hard by Shen Lianshi last time. The former coquettishness has turned into a sullen one. Even when Ji Yiren took the initiative to play with her, he didn't talk to her much anymore.
But here in Ming Peitang, besides Shen Shuyan, there are also Ji Yiren and Shen Shuxi. Although Shen Shujing is a bigger girl than Gu Sheng and others, she has a good temperament and gets close to others easily. None of my peers care about the age gap with this eldest sister.
Moreover, although the He family and Jiang Zheng's daughter Jiang Heyue are different in terms of status, because her parents have a different relationship with Wei Changying, the mistress of the Shen family, they cannot be regarded as the daughter of an ordinary servant.
Jiang Heyue's current job is to be a maid for Shen Shuyan. In fact, she just talks to Shen Shuyan... and she and the other ladies are like little sisters.
In short, there are a large group of girls in Mingpei Hall, and the younger sisters are used to the excitement. Gu Sheng remembered that after returning to the imperial capital, he was alone and embarked on his way home with melancholy.
This person is one that both Shen Zangfeng and his wife think will definitely go with Shen Zangning's wedding procession.
But Shen Shuming's wedding was an accident.
With the current situation in the Central Plains, even if he brought a large army to get married, Shen Zangfeng kept urging and reminding Shen Lianshi, for fear of making mistakes.
Shen Shuming, the eldest grandson of the eldest family member, based on discussions between Shen Zangfeng and others, agreed that Shen Zangli and his wife were lucky enough to save a male heir, so he must not be put in any danger again. So he planned to keep Shen Shuming in Xiliang until there was peace.
I would rather raise a dandy nephew than let anything happen to the eldest son’s only heir.
However, Shen Shuming had long been tired of staying in Xiliang, and because of the death of his parents, he felt very aggrieved. Although his father, Shen Zangli, had divorced himself, Shen Shuming felt that he had so many uncles, why should he let him go? His father stayed? As for his mother, why was it his sixth aunt who entered the secret room instead of Mrs. Liu
In short, Shen Shuming was angry because he had been fighting against his uncle and aunt for the past two years.
So when Shen Zangning came out of the cabinet, he heard that when his uncles were arranging candidates for marriage, due to the unrest in the Central Plains, he was the first to exclude himself. Without saying a word, he approached Shen Zangfeng and said he would go anyway!
He is becoming stubborn at this age, and I am afraid that not only his uncles, but even his parents will be reincarnated.
Shen Zangfeng persuaded, beat and scolded him, and even threatened to tie him up - Shen Shuming still made trouble.
The uncle and nephew were so stiff that they couldn't get off the stage. In the end, Shen Lianshi had no choice but to come out with a sigh and smooth things over, saying that he should bring more people and snacks, and he would definitely take his nephew out and then bring him back properly.
Of course, several uncles also hope that after this trip, the nephew can calm down and live in harmony in the future.
In addition to Shen Shuming's incident that worried the Shen family, the Shen family was a little unhappy that Gu Yan did not go to Xiliang in person to pick up the bride.
This inevitably made the Shen family feel that Shen Zangning was underestimated.
"When we got married, was the world in peace and prosperity?" In front of others, Wei Changying, the sister-in-law who took over Mrs. Su's responsibilities, had nothing to say. After the wedding ceremony, after drinking, she took off her makeup and rested in the evening, but I was about to say something to my husband, "Are the Imperial Capital and Fengzhou so close again? Didn't you go to pick up the bride yourself? This Gu family is going too far."
"This situation is different." When my sister went out, Shen Zangfeng, the clan leader, would inevitably receive congratulations from the banquet. In addition, several clan elders have died of illness and lived in seclusion in the mountains not long ago. His position has become more stable, and more people are flattering him inside and outside the clan. With such frequent toasts, although he can still drink, he is still drunk by the end of the day. gush.
After the banquet, he drank two bowls of hangover soup, broke out in a sweat, and took a bath. Now he came out of the bath and felt a little more awake. After hearing the words, he advised, "The main reason is that the Gu family simply can't come up with enough wedding teams now. Just in case. If something happened on the way, then Gu Yan had something wrong, wouldn't it have caused Zang Ning a lot of trouble? It would be better for him to find an excuse and let our family send him to the imperial capital and then come over."
Wei Changying was reminded by him that he remembered that this Hongzhou Gu family was not Xiliang Shen. In today's world, Gu Yan was just a side descendant of Hongzhou Gu. Even if he was the legitimate son of the sect, there was not enough for him. The people who travel thousands of miles to pick up the bride smoothly.
... The so-called forbidden army that was hastily built in the imperial capital is all in the hands of Huo Zhaoyu!
Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder Gu Yan was there. Even though he wanted to show his respect to Shen Zangning, he didn't have the ability.
"Oh, I just feel that the fourth sister has been wronged." Wei Changying sighed with emotion, and then asked, "Our family is sending a large army to see off the bride, and I don't know what kind of demands Huo Jiayao will make? Will it be the same as before, asking for the West?" Liang Jun, please rest from afar?"
"I have sent someone to buy a house in Lingzhou as a place for Zang Ning to leave the court." Sure enough, Shen Zangfeng took a sip of tea and said, "The Gu family will bring someone to pick up the bride from there."
Wei Changying said speechlessly: "This time we can't even enter the capital." Lingzhou is a state to the west of the capital.
"This is just what we do. Huo Jiayao will let us give more." Shen Zangfeng said with a smile, "Now he is surrounded by masters who covet the imperial capital but are temporarily unable to monopolize it. Our family is working hard on the expedition and has no troops yet. Bring them all over, but the hot potato of the Imperial City is not yet here. Huo Jiayao has nothing to worry about... It is for this reason that if we don't take the Imperial City now, we might as well be more generous. "
Wei Changying added: "Huo Jiayao may not be able to think of such a risky method. I think it was my sixth uncle who did it."
"Such a neat break-up doesn't seem like Jiayao's style." After Shen Zangfeng drank two sips of strong tea, he gradually felt energetic. Then he looked at his wife's natural beauty without a hairpin ring after bathing, because she wanted to He was only wearing a lavender middle coat, with the belt tied loosely, and a large area of skin like cream was exposed at the collar. His heart was hot, and he had no intention of talking about the situation.
However, Wei Changying didn't realize that Shen Zangning had left today. She, the third sister-in-law, was actually the eldest sister-in-law and was like a mother. She was so busy that she didn't even have time to take a breath. The delicacies on the table were as delicious as running water, and she didn't even touch her toothbrush a few times. Mrs. Huang knew that she was working hard, so she prepared snacks and sent them in before she took a bath.
At this moment, she was holding a piece of pastry and eating it slowly, frowning in thought.
Shen Zangfeng finally waited for her to finish the cakes and drink the tea, and was about to make a few jokes before getting to the main topic - of course, the main topic of the couple's night, not the main topic about the situation.
Unexpectedly, Wei Changying raised her head. Her phoenix eyes were particularly alluring under the lamp, and the candlelight reflected her lust. Shen Zangfeng was in a good mood. Seeing that he was about to pour out sweet words, his hand touched his wife's forearm...
As a result, after Wei Changying put down his tea bowl, he started to talk eloquently: "Originally, the Su family's army was in control. Even if Xu Zongwen and Wen Yaozi joined forces to take the imperial capital, it would be very difficult. If they gave up the imperial capital and tried elsewhere, they had to guard against being The Qingzhou Army took advantage of the situation to attack. This is why Xu Zongwen and Wen Yaozi have been unable to continue to grow. After all, the terrain is restricted by the threat of the capital, but Uncle Liu has such a hand, Huo Jiayao has little foundation...
"Let him develop for a year or two, and he won't be able to achieve success! Wen Yaozi and others can rest assured to strengthen themselves in other places. When they think they are ready, it will not be too late to take down the emperor. Anyway, they have several territories If other people want to plot the imperial capital, they have to defeat them all. In this way, even if our army is strong... "
"These self-employed men have to worry about their staff, so Yinger should not work so hard." After listening to this for a long time, Shen Zangfeng couldn't find a chance to introduce the conversation to you and me, so he simply skipped the teasing, stood up directly, and suddenly said He picked her up and said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his wife's low exclamation, "It's the middle of the night, let's talk about what we should do in the middle of the night!"
"Disgusting!" Wei Changying exclaimed and then felt that he had been worrying too much recently. Even though the couple was preparing for resettlement, he was going to talk about the situation at length... It was impossible that his husband didn't know what he said, so he laughed and scolded him and punched him twice. Then he was carried into the tent obediently...
The next day, the couple got up refreshed. After freshening up, they went to the main hall, where Shen Shuguang and Shen Shuxie were already waiting.
When he saw his parents coming out, he went up to say hello.
The two of them got away with smiles on their faces, and Shen Zangfeng asked his sons a few questions as usual. Not surprisingly, the eldest son Shen Shuguang answered fluently, but the second son Shen Shuxie couldn't answer after one answer and quietly stretched out his hand to pull Shen Shuguang's skirt. It's just that Shen Shuguang is very serious now. Instead of giving him any advice, he moved a step to the side so that he wouldn't dare to make such a small move with the help of the cover of his robes when the two of them were standing close to each other.
Glancing at his brother bitterly, Shen Shuxie turned his pitiful eyes to his mother - what disappointed him on the face was that Wei Changying was holding a cup of goat's milk presented by Lianju and sipping it elegantly and attentively. , "didn't notice" him at all.
In the end, there was nothing he could do. With tears in his eyes, Shen Shuxie stretched out his hand and let his father slap him five times with a bamboo blade to remember. It is said that since his father moved to the backyard, his memory seems to have grown many times...
(Modification rules, each modification must have more words than the previous one, so the following is repeated content)
According to Shen Zangning's idea, since the wedding is in late May, it should be okay for her to stay for two more days. After all, it is probably impossible to return to Xiliang after leaving the cabinet.
