Xiliang.
Chief Wei Ying said in astonishment: "Why did uncle Song insist on letting my cousin marry the former prince Shen Xun in the early years? How do I know?" She thought for a moment and asked, "Does my cousin have anything else to say?"
It was already autumn at this time. After Jiang Zheng found Ye Yi, he ordered him to carve several pieces of jade, and then sent them to Fengzhou in person, but he has not returned yet. The person who sent the letter to Song Zaishui first was another servant. He was not as decent as Jiang Zheng, but he could still be considered a close confidant.
At this moment, the copyist stood in the hall and said respectfully: "Miss Cousin, let me take this sentence."
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's go down first." Wei Changying thought for a moment and waved him to leave. He ordered people to invite Mr. Huang and Mr. He to come over for details.
When He heard this, he was surprised and said: "What else is there? When my cousin took over the deposed Queen Gu, the gold-inlaid jade Ruyi was ordered by Emperor Huanzong himself. And with the Jiangnan Song family, how could it happen? What about regretting the marriage at will? Moreover, the servant said something that is not so pleasant: According to people like the servant, although the former prince Shen Xun was unworthy, he was still the crown prince at that time. "
Wei Changying said: "Yes, who didn't think so at that time? But you also know, aunt: At that time, my cousin was very dissatisfied with the marriage, so she deliberately stayed in Fengzhou and refused to go to Beijing. There was still some teasing in the middle I begged my grandmother and mother to tell my uncle about breaking off the engagement on her behalf... I remember that at that time, my grandmother and mother were hesitant to speak, as if there was something going on inside!"
"Is it because this marriage was decided by Mrs. Sikong when she was still alive? Sikong was deeply in love with Mrs. Sikong, so he refused to terminate it?" He guessed.
Huang shook her head: "Sikong and Mrs. Sikong only have one daughter. If you care about Mrs. Sikong, how can you make trouble for your daughter's life-long events?" She thought for a moment and said, "The situation in the imperial capital was complicated at that time. I don't know if it is related to this. …Why did Miss Biao suddenly ask this?”
"Uncle Wei Liu sat on the floor and raised the price, and a thousand taels of gold were exchanged for this reminder." Wei Changying sighed, "My cousin must be furious!"
Then he said, "Oh, it's about a regretful incident during Uncle Song's lifetime. It was caused by some combination of circumstances. Neither Cousin Song nor Cousin Song knew about it. Instead, only Uncle Wei Liu knew about it. Uncle Wei Liu's nature... Son, can you please stop blackmailing my cousin?"
Mr. Huang and Mr. He looked at each other and said, "It's been so many years and he still hasn't told Miss Cousin?" What they were embarrassed to say was: This is too dark! It is conceivable that Wei Xinyong has exchanged this with Song Zaishui for countless benefits over the years!
"There have been a lot of messy things in the past few years. Now that Wen Yazi has become the king, his power has also increased greatly. It is not what it used to be. Even without the protection of the Wei family, my cousin can't do anything against Uncle Six now..." Wei Zhang Ying He said, "But I think since my grandmother and mother both seem to know something about it, my cousin's visit to Ruiyu Hall this time should be able to clear up some confusion."
As he said this, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the court.
Wei Changying asked: "Who is making trouble outside?"
After a while, Shen Shuxie and Shen Shuxi, who were chatting with each other, walked in together. After saying goodbye, they complained in unison: "Mom (third aunt), he (she) lost the kitten!"
In the past few years, Wei Changying's patience has been greatly tempered after bringing in children. At this moment, he just asked lightly: "Is this the kitten I raised for you a few days ago? Have you lost it all? How did you lose it?"
"Fifth sister, she left the kitten in the garden..."
"It's obviously Fourth Brother who made the kitten so hard to find..."
The two chattered and quarreled again. Wei Changying drank tea. When they were tired of arguing, he ordered them all to shut up and let the servants who followed them speak.
The servants know that these two people are not easy to offend, so they speak truthfully.
However, this process was a bit troublesome.
A few years ago, when Duanmu Xinmiao was in Xiliang, in order to find the relatives of Ji Qubing, he held a consultation as a descendant of a miracle doctor, attracting countless people to come all the way to seek medical treatment. Among them was an old lady who loved cats so much that she never forgot to bring her beloved cat with her when she came to Xiliang. Her cat gave birth to several kittens on the way, and after being rejuvenated by Duanmu Xinmiao's wonderful hands, she gave one as a gift. To Duanmu Xinmiao.
It's just that Duanmu Xinmiao's love for cats was just that, and she didn't take them with her when she returned to the imperial capital.
So they were raised in Mingpeitang. Of course, they didn't care about raising them, they just fed them casually. But not only did the cat survive, it thrived to this day.
A few days ago, the cat's litter of offspring was born again. This time, because she happened to go to the yard next to Shen Zangzhu to give birth, Shen Shuxi found out about it and clamored to raise one. Shen Zangzhu was very interested in this relative. My niece is so doting on me, how can I not respond? As a result, the news reached Wei Changying, and Shen Shuxie also made a fuss about raising him.
Wei Changying refused at first. She knew her little son too well. How could he like cats so much? Mostly because I want to have a cat to have a reason to skip school!
But Shen Shuxie had been crying for two days, and Wei Changying was afraid that he would get sick if he continued to make trouble, so he had to give him permission.
So each of the cousins picked up a kitten and raised it... The problem was that the two kittens they chose had exactly the same appearance and coat color.
So just now they both took the kittens to play in the garden. One of the kittens disappeared. They both said that the remaining kitten was only theirs, so they started pinching each other.
Fortunately, the servants separated them in time so they didn't really hit each other. Then running back Chang Ying came to comment.
After Wei Changying figured out what happened, he asked his servants: "What about you? You don't know whose cat this is now?"
"At that time, the fifth young lady and the fourth young master were both relatively close to the lake. The maids were afraid that something might happen to them, so they all stared at the fifth young lady and the fourth young master. In the blink of an eye, there was only one cat left." Cao Hong'er He reported cautiously.
Wei Changying snorted: "What happened next? Did you ask someone to look for it? How far can such a big cat run?"
"Although the grass and trees in the garden have withered a lot now, they have probably not been removed yet, so..." Cao Hong'er said sarcastically, "I just left two people there to look for them. I don't know if they have been found now." "
Wei Changying waved to his son: "Xie'er, come here!"
Shen Shuxie pouted and moved to her side, asking warily: "Mother?"
"Stretch out your hands!" Wei Changying rolled up his sleeves and ordered in a cold voice!
Without saying a word, Shen Shuxie sneaked behind Mrs. Huang next to her: "Mother! That cat really belongs to the kid. Why are you helping the fifth sister to bully the kid? The kid is wronged!"
"When you insisted on raising a cat before, why did you promise your mother?" Wei Changying lowered his face, motioned to Mrs. Huang to catch Shen Shuxie, and shouted, "You said you would take care of it yourself! You said you I won’t delay my studies because of this—I won’t argue with you about the first one, but I’ll ask you about the second one, where are you supposed to be playing in the garden at this time?”
Shen Shuxie was still shouting about injustice and insisting that the remaining cat was his. After hearing this, he realized that he had been tricked by Shen Shuxi - no wonder this cousin insisted on coming here to argue!
From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Shen Shuxi's gloating smile. He said with a sad face, "I know you're wrong, kid!" At this time, he was supposed to be listening to his teacher's lecture in the front yard, but he was thinking about the kitten, so he left the study while his teacher had something to do. It was such a good time to escape through the window!
The gentleman who teaches him now is very knowledgeable and has a better temper. He is not like Sun Wenwen, who has to complain about every little thing. Therefore, Shen Shuxie didn't take him to heart at all, thinking that since the husband wouldn't complain, he could just find an excuse tomorrow to find an excuse.
Who would have thought that when I met my little cousin in the garden, one of their cats would be missing
"Since you know you are wrong, you can tell yourself what to do!" Wei Changying's face was full of anger, and he felt really powerless in his heart: He was too naughty this time! As long as it has something to do with his studies, he will refuse to pay attention to it. As long as it has nothing to do with his studies, he will immediately become interested...
Could it be that if I have a diligent and studious eldest son, I must have a lazy and playboy second son to balance it
Although the eldest son is very impressive and Wei Changying is not worried that no one will inherit his family property in the future, the second son cannot be too useless!
What parent doesn’t want all of their children to be well!
What's more, she only has two sons now, and there are not so many descendants that she can't take care of them.
If it really doesn't work, I can only write to my husband and ask him to transfer Sun Wenwen back... Wei Changying thought with a sigh in his heart.
Next, Shen Shuxie tentatively mentioned a few lighter punishments. After being stared back by her mother, she reluctantly said the heavier ones. During this period, he had to imitate his brother, who was crying and fussing, and from time to time raised his eyes to look at the expressions of the people around him to see if anyone was willing to come out to intercede with him.
Fortunately, Huang and others had already learned from Shen Shuguang's experience. As soon as the guard chief Ying lectured his son, they immediately looked at their nose and heart, their expressions were solemn and solemn, they did not squint, and they paid no attention to the little boy. Young Master’s request for help.
... After sending his youngest son out to be punished, Wei Changying didn't bother to tell who the cat belonged to, and directly comforted Shen Shuxi with a few words and asked her to take it back. She originally disapproved of Shen Shuxie's keeping of cats, and now it would be best for him to lose them himself. Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered the scene when her husband accompanied her to visit the Su family when she just left the cabinet.
The second aunt Wei Zheng Yin frowned slightly and said she wished the colorful feather parrot Su Yuwu, cousin Su Yuwu, had raised for many years would die so as not to distract Su Yuwu. The look appeared so clearly and distantly in her memory.
"Alas!" Wei Changying sighed with a heavy heart and asked Huang, "Has Cousin Su Wu been mentioned in the military reports in the past few days?"
Huang thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No."
He added, "But there is no sign of great compassion in Miss Cousin's letter. I guess we don't know, but Miss Cousin should know something. It's just not convenient to tell us that Fifth Young Master Su should be fine."
If Cousin Song doesn't know anything, can she just assume that everything is fine with him
Wei Changying rubbed his forehead and said, "If there is any news about Su Wu's cousin, remember to remind me to read it first!"
When she said this, in the distant Xinzhou, Su Yuwu woke up from a coma again, looked at the dozens of people scattered around him, and asked with difficulty: "How are you now?" (To be continued)
