However, after Shen Shuguang explained it carefully, Wei Changying understood: in the final analysis, Wen Zhiqi actually wanted to save his life.
Thanks to Ji Qubing's wonderful rejuvenation, although the Wen brothers and sisters were only breathless when they were brought here, they have been able to get up after these days of diagnosis and treatment.
The Shen family has a great business. For the sake of reputation, they don't care about a little effort, and the nourishing medicinal materials are delivered to the bedside like water. Because their family was poor when they were young, the two siblings, who had never had a few bites of good food in their lives, now started to eat the tonic soup that almost everyone in the Shen family was tired of, and the effect was particularly good.
Under normal circumstances, if they can keep them for another month or two at most, they will definitely have to go back.
After all, they were poisoned, not injured, and they were young. Once the poison was removed, they would naturally recover very quickly.
The problem is, even if Wen Yaozi disposes of the concubine who murdered them now... Wen Yaozi is not the only concubine now. Even though the other concubines are not pregnant yet, what if they want to remove the roadblock first
Let Wen Yaozi drive away all the concubines? That is impossible.
Counting on Qiu's protection? The Qiu family has this method, and this time they won't let one concubine plot against all three of their children.
She asked Wen Yaozi to send troops to escort her youngest son and only daughter to Xiliang to seek medical treatment. She had tried her best and used all the kindness they had accumulated over the decades since they got married.
Therefore, it would still be unsafe if Wen Zhiqi and Wen Yulan went back.
I don't know whether it was Qiu's private advice or whether he heard that Zhiqi had enlightened himself. He thought of a way to avoid the poisonous hands of his father's concubine: that was to stay in the Shen family.
Even if he doesn't get along with his father for many years, his affection will become weak. But it's better than death!
The problem is that the relationship between the Shen family and Wen Yaozi is very delicate.
If the Rong people hadn't been wreaking havoc on the Central Plains in the name of revenge for Moye, the Shen family would have been caught by Wen Yaozi and had to temporarily form an alliance with him to send troops to drive away the Rong people. Maybe the two sides would have started fighting now.
So why should the Shen family take him in
This is why when Wen Zhiqi proposed that he wanted to stay in the Shen family to study with Shen Shuguang in the future, Shen Shuguang followed common sense and said that he would ask his mother about her intentions. Wen Zhiqi suddenly panicked and clung to him. The reason was that the child was frightened, fearing that the Shen family would reject him.
After figuring out the reason, Wei Changying was filled with emotion and said: "These two children are really pitiful, but they are not easy to keep. This is not something that the backyard can decide. It is better to wait until I write to my mother. Ask your father."
If Wen Zhiqi and Wen Yulan were not Wen Yazi's children, but just a pair of brothers and sisters they met on the street, the chief guard Chang Ying would be able to do it. But their origins were special. Even if they sympathized with them, Wei Changying would not dare to agree casually... She would not dare to agree, and Shen Shuguang would be even less likely to agree.
Shen Shuguang was a little bit sad when he mentioned it at this moment: "When the child left, I almost cried when I saw and heard that the young master was about to cry. But what the mother said was true. This matter is huge and involves all aspects. You can't agree rashly just because you are soft-hearted, so as not to embarrass your father. "
"It goes to show that the people who heard about Yaozi are so unbearable that the backyard is in chaos right now. Such people... can share hardships but not wealth and wealth!" Wei Changying shook his head. As the head wife, he did not see his first wife's children being murdered by his concubines. Not angry, even if Shen Zangfeng doesn't have a concubine.
She couldn't agree to Wen Zhiqi's request now, so she didn't plan to see the brothers and sisters in the short term to avoid embarrassment. She only ordered: "Everyone who is serving you should be more attentive. Make sure to take good care of them. Don't I will not be merciful to anyone who neglects our noble family!"
The servants all responded together.
Wei Changying told Shen Shuguang again: "Young Master Wen's request is difficult to handle, so please don't go back in the next few days."
Shen Shuguang smiled and said, "My child understands."
At this time, someone came in from outside and reported: "A letter has been sent from Fengzhou."
"Bring it to me quickly!" Wei Changying was overjoyed when he heard the news from his parents' family. Shen Shuguang was originally going to resign, but he stayed after hearing this.
The mother and son opened the letter together. As usual, the letter was written in Mrs. Song's tone, but the person who wrote it was Mrs. Song.
The past two years were all written by Mrs. Song herself... In the past two years... After all, Mrs. Song is getting older.
Looking at his mother's words and his grandmother's tone, Wei Changying felt a little bitter in his heart.
Although Mrs. Song's body is still strong, how old is she? These two letters conveyed the meaning of having no desires... Wei Changying knew that this was because her grandmother finally saw her father Wei Zhenghong recover with her own eyes, and added a young son, Wei Changjie, to the family. The status of the eldest family was stable and ambitious. The vigorous second wife's family was wiped out in the fall of the imperial capital, leaving Mrs. Song completely free of future worries!
In this way, Mrs. Song felt that even if she went now, there would be nothing to regret.
But every time Wei Changying sees such words, he feels his heart tightening...
She knew it was impossible, but she still hoped that her grandmother could live in good health and live forever.
"The fifth uncle is going to have a eldest son?" Shen Shuguang was not so emotional. He leaned on his mother's arm and read the letter intently. He suddenly said happily, "Last time, great-grandmother regretted that the fifth uncle got married so easily. Fifth Aunt But there has been no movement. Now that my fifth aunt is finally pregnant, she is still a little cousin, and my great-grandmother and grandmother must be very happy!"
He was originally cultivated as a young lord. After Diecuiguan forced Shen Xu to shoot Shen Shuming, although he was punished by his father and uncle afterwards, privately these elders had to admit that Shen Shuguang was indeed very smart and decisive. .
So these days, the elders have deliberately asked him to hone his skills in handling matters.
At this moment, Shen Shuguang was used to it and said naturally: "Come here, go and count the things in the warehouse and prepare a generous gift!"
After giving instructions to his servants, Shen Shuguang realized that he was not at the front, being tested by his uncle and other elders. He hurriedly apologized to his mother: "My child made his own decisions..."
"What you said just saved my mother's words." Wei Changying always doted on his own son and always thought of the best in everything. He said with a smile at this moment, "If you are free, you can also go over the gift list for my mother in detail!"
Shen Shuguang said hurriedly: "Yes!"
Because his sister-in-law was pregnant, his younger brother waited until he was in his twenties before expecting to have his first child. Therefore, Wei Changying was in a good mood. After reading the letter, he ordered everyone in Mingpeitang to pay for this month's monthly payment. All doubled.
After the people above and below learned about it, those who could come to see Wei Zhangying were obliged to come over to express their congratulations.
Mr. Huang and Mr. He definitely had to mention it, and both of them sighed with emotion: "We have a fifth young lady at home, otherwise the old lady would be anxious even if she didn't say it."
Speaking of which, Mrs. Song, although she has deep and ruthless methods, is very considerate of her family members whom she recognizes. In this regard, he is even more generous than Mrs. Song.
The Min family was far inferior to Wei Changfeng, and she had not been able to conceive since she came to the family. The younger Mrs. Song was anxious, but the older Mrs. Song, who was very eager to see her biological great-grandson before passing away, remained calm. , often persuaded Mrs. Song to calm down and not put too much pressure on her daughter-in-law.
Since Mrs. Song wanted to persuade Mrs. Song, she would definitely not say anything she expected her great-grandson to do in front of Mrs. Song. That is to say, when Chen Ruping and others were occasionally asked to write for themselves, they would write an understatement of regret to their granddaughter in the letter, saying that Wei Changfeng's marriage and heir's fate were not as good as Wei Changying's.
Now that Min has given birth to a boy, Mrs. Song doesn't know how happy she is.
"Two days ago, I heard that how many pieces of rare and beautiful jade were found in the jade mine in Mengshan?" Wei Changying said with a smile, "Hurry up and ask them to wrap it up and send it over! Find me a skilled craftsman to carve it. A few auspicious objects.”
"The jade is really good. The fifth lady wrote in person saying that it is a very good thing. I think it is first-class." Huang said with a little regret, "But I'm afraid it's not easy to find a skilled craftsman. In the past, it was like this." Apart from the Ye family, we don’t even think about having a jade of this level. However, the Ye family is now in dire straits, and we don’t know if we can find it..."
He said: "If you want to find the Ye family, you have to go to Beijing? There is no one from the Ye family who can do the job anywhere else!"
"First ask them to bring the jade to me to see. If it is really worth looking for the Ye family, there is nothing wrong with sending it to the capital. After all, after the army enters the Central Plains, can we still lose contact with the army? Let them take it with them along the way. Okay." Wei Changying said, "I haven't noticed the Ye family before, so I don't know if I can find them."
The Ye family, like the Ji family, are workers. Everyone in the family is good at making all kinds of jewelry, whether it is staking jade, carving, winding silk, inlaying, or even firing colored glaze. The family has an orderly division of labor, and each house passes on one item, so there is nothing they can't do well. .
Because of his extraordinary skills, it has been passed down for hundreds of years.
Therefore, he is still a craftsman in name, but in fact, in terms of wealth and status, even some distant nobles cannot compare.
Of course, if Wei Changying's identity comes to them, they still have to treat him with caution.
The Ye family, like the Ji family, all live in the Imperial Capital—their family has good craftsmanship and high prices. If they don't treat a place like the Imperial Capital where there are so many noble people, it would be a joke.
What's more, there are still people from the Ye family working in the Shanggong Bureau.
Therefore, when the imperial capital fell, the Ye family suffered heavy casualties.
Moreover, their family's craftsmanship is kept strictly confidential. Even if they are not core members of the clan, even the children of the Ye family will only do it. Therefore, even if there are children who are lucky enough to survive, they will not be of any use if they do not have considerable status in the Ye family.
Wei Changying thought about the meeting ceremony for his brother's first heir, and of course it had to be as perfect as possible. It would be a pity to have good jade materials but not the skills of the Ye family.
He said, "In this case, take two pieces of letterhead. I'll reply to my grandmother's letter and write another one by the way. I'll ask Cousin Song to inquire."
Many of her own jewelry were made by the Ye family, but they were either passed down from her elders or from the Ye family that Mrs. Song or Mrs. Song Zhang Luo went to find. On the contrary, I am not familiar with the Ye family.
On the contrary, Song Zaishui was overjoyed after breaking off his engagement with the royal family. He lived a comfortable life and spent all day long enjoying all kinds of food, drink and enjoyment. Song Zaishui seemed to have done a lot of work with the Ye family to make jewelry in those years.
"I heard before that Miss Cousin was put under house arrest by Huo Zhaoyu because she was the wife of the Su family. I wonder what happened now?" Huang reminded her.
"I won't talk about Huo Zhaoyu's sneak attack on the two uncles of the Su family. I can't explain clearly the grudges and grudges that preceded them." Wei Changying snorted and asked He Shi to practice ink while saying, "But for He is too stingy to embarrass the woman in the backyard because of the incident in the front yard! There is still no news about Su Wu's cousin, and it is not convenient for my husband and the others to visit his cousin in the imperial capital. I am writing this letter to remind Huo Zhaoyu that he must be spared. Forgive me, don't go too far! Jiangnan Song family and Qingzhou Su family can't cause trouble for him for the time being. My cousin still has me. If he doesn't understand, don't blame me for being rude and ask my husband to do it for me. Save your face!"
He lowered his voice and warned, "Hide this matter from sister Dian Liu. She is still in confinement, so don't let her worry about it!"
Even though she was considerate of Huo Qingling, her sister-in-law didn't get to kiss her cousin.
Wei Changying made up his mind to take this opportunity to support Song Zaishui and never let her be angered by Huo Zhaoyu and his gang again! (To be continued)
