But what Wei Changying didn't expect was that she told Shen Shujing for a long time about the interesting things she had done at her parents' house, and the next day she received news of a funeral from Fengzhou - although the person who had the accident was not a blood relative of hers, she was still alive. It made her feel extremely heartbroken.
Min is gone.
The reason was difficult labor. The reason for this difficult birth is also embarrassing. In the early stages of Min's pregnancy, the doctor determined that the fetus was a little weak, so she was given nourishment. As a result, Mrs. Min overstretched her weight all of a sudden. Even after listening to the experiences of Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song in the later period and dieting severely for a period of time, she was still too fat this time and could not come out during delivery. Life is in danger!
Although the Wei family values heirs, Mrs. Song still likes Min's granddaughter-in-law very much. Secondly, Wei Changfeng also has an eldest son, so when Po Wen asked Mr. Bao whether to protect the child, the elders included Wei Changfeng. Everyone said that Mrs. Min was protected - but Mrs. Min loved her child so much that she cried in the delivery room and begged to save her child.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a long time through the window to no avail. Mrs. Song was so anxious that she rushed in to persuade her. However, when Po Wen came out to ask questions, Mrs. Min was already in a very bad situation. Mrs. Song went in without saying a word of advice. —Min’s situation took a turn for the worse, and the final result was that both adults and children were gone!
"How old is Xiu'er? This is how my siblings are gone! Leaving Changfeng and Xiu'er behind, in the future..." Wei Changying said sadly to Mr. Huang, "These siblings are very polite people when communicating with each other through letters. Why? Why is she so confused? She doesn't want to think about how much her grandmother and mother value their children. How could they be willing to give up their children if it was not irreversible? "
Wei Changfeng's eldest son is named Wei Shanxiu.
Huang sighed: "The authorities are confused. After all, it is the fifth young lady who worked hard to conceive for ten months. It is unbearable for her to abandon the child for herself, right?"
Wei Changying also knows this truth, not to mention that everything has passed and it is too late to say anything now. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said: "Let's go with someone... Talking about Changfeng's marriage... The Miss Su family I met before was a good person, but she didn't even meet Changfeng once. ... Changfeng wasted a few years before remarrying his current sister-in-law. Although his family background was not as good as that of the Su family, he was still a good person. It had only been a few years before something happened again... "
She sighed dejectedly, "If I hadn't known that my grandmother and mother were both shrewd people, I would have really doubted whether someone had tampered with her sister-in-law's accident. Otherwise, she was fine when she was pregnant with Xiu'er. Why? This time, the child is weak? If the doctor hadn’t taught her to take supplements, why would she have ended up like this?”
Huang took the order and went down to make arrangements.
In the evening, Shen Zangfeng and Shen Shuguang returned to the back and were very surprised when they heard about this while the family was having dinner.
Shen Zangfeng sighed for a while, then asked Mrs. Song and other elders if they were okay.
Wei Changying frowned and said: "Don't you know about my family? They must report good news to us but not bad news. The letter was written by Changfeng, saying that my grandmother and mother were very sorry, but they were comforted that nothing serious happened - But maybe, both my grandmother and my mother like her siblings very much, and they also like her children. "
Shen Zangfeng thought for a while and said, "It won't be a big deal after two years. I'll accompany you back to Ruiyu Hall to have a look."
These words made Wei Changying startled for a moment, and then he said: "Can we go in two years?"
"Of course." Shen Zangfeng smiled and glanced at his two sons who were also excited, "You should pay attention to your homework! Your grandfather's family is one of the best scholarly families in the world! Don't look at the expressions over there. There are not many brothers, but there are many outstanding people! If the time comes, my Shen family will lose face, so don’t blame me for being a father!"
Shen Shuguang said confidently: "My child has never slacked off in his studies. I think even if I can't compare with my cousins, it won't disgrace me, Mrs. Shen!"
Shen Shuxie felt guilty: "My child must be careful in the future."
"It's best this way." Shen Zangfeng gave him a stern look, "Before I go, my father will personally test your homework. If you don't look good, then you might as well stay at home!"
"My child is absolutely telling lies!" Shen Shuxie said hurriedly. He was always a playful person and played with his cousins since he was a child. But now that I am older, I hope to play with boys. However, Shen Shuming was driven to Guanzhou and saw that he would not be able to come back in the past few years. As the eldest son, Shen Shuguang had too much to learn. No time for him. The two cousins below are both still young. I heard that there are cousins in Fengzhou and I want to fly there right away!
In front of his sons, Wei Changying said nothing. When she was waiting for the arrangements, she asked her husband: "You said you went to Fengzhou to encourage Xie'er to study hard, or are you really planning to accompany me?"
Shen Zangfeng smiled and said: "Of course I plan to accompany you. You think as long as the new dynasty is established, then we have nothing to worry about. You have been out of the cabinet for so many years, and you often miss your mother's family. I want to accompany you for a trip, isn't it? Should?"
When he said this, his expression darkened and he sighed, "Now that we are elders, we have nephews and grandchildren. If we want to feel the compassion and love of our elders again, we can only go to the Wei family."
Thinking of the elders of the Shen family, Wei Changying also fell silent.
She didn’t know how long it had passed before she asked, “How are things going in the south?”
"I have convinced the Su family and several noble clans in the south." Shen Zangfeng touched her hair and said warmly, "Don't worry, I am not doing this alone. I can't worry too much."
Wei Changying said faintly: "I always feel that I have been deceived by you. You said you noticed that you were not in good health and came back to recuperate. But in the past few days, you have left early and come back late again... Don't come back specifically to guard against the south, right? "
"How is that possible?" Shen Zangfeng chuckled and looked at her seriously, "How can I bear to leave you, Guang'er and Xie'er with no one to rely on?"
Chief Wei spat: "I still have my natal family! Am I someone who is easy to bully?"
"Yes, yes, of course Yinger is very powerful - but wouldn't it be better to have a husband with you?" Shen Zangfeng coaxed with a smile.
But before he said a few words, he couldn't open his tired eyes.
Wei Changying was worried and refused to talk to him anymore, saying: "Go to sleep."
When Shen Zangfeng fell into a deep sleep, Wei Changying quietly broke out of his arms and went outside with his bare feet.
The maid had already prepared shoes, stockings and clothes for her to put on.
After leaving the house, Guard Chief Ying went straight to the front yard and called for Shen Zangfeng's confidants, the book boys and the servants, and asked him, "What have you been worrying about these past two days?"
The boy and the boy hesitated and said, "Although the lord didn't say that he couldn't tell the queen, but..."
"My husband doesn't look right when he comes back today. I see that his energy has been much lower than before recently. You are the ones who followed him on the expedition and came back with him. You know the reason very clearly." Wei Changying was too lazy to talk to them and went straight to the point. He said, "Now he can't work too hard. You are not illiterate about the so-called "skin is gone", so why don't I explain it to you?"
Then he said, "You have been in the Shen family for more than a day or two. You should know that this is not the first time that I have gone against his will. Do you think I can't afford this?"
The book boy had no choice but to say: "Qu Wen and others attacked several cities in a row. The Yong army was retreating steadily because the main force was in the north. Therefore, the southern nobles all held a wait-and-see attitude - but the feudal lord was not in a hurry. It seemed that he had expected it. "
He thought for a moment and then said cautiously, "The Valve Master has not been very busy these past two days. He has been teaching the eldest prince his studies."
Wei Changying frowned and said, "Then why does your husband look so tired?"
The book boy didn't dare to speak.
Wei Changying asked for a long time but couldn't get any clues, so he had to go back angrily.
Knowing that she must be in a bad mood now, the servants all kept silent.
When she reached the door of the yard, Wei Changying suddenly stopped - the people thought she had seen or discovered something. Unexpectedly, Wei Changying stood there for a moment, exhaled, and said to himself: "Is it because of their waiting and watching... It is not impossible..."
After saying that, everyone relaxed and said, "Let's all go back to the house!"
She returned to the room and saw that Shen Zangfeng was still sleeping. She breathed a sigh of relief, tucked him in, and snuggled into his arms again...
The next development of things confirmed Wei Changying’s guess—
At the end of autumn, the Great Sacrifice of Beirong died on the same day as the Great Khan. It is said that the Great Khan, because of the severe epidemic, even Ji Qubing, who was known as the miracle doctor among the Wei people, was helpless and was on full alert against the Great Sacrifice... This It is also reasonable that in order to prevent himself from being harmed by the high priest, the Great Khan would arrange a horse in the tent even when sleeping.
As a result, the horse suddenly went crazy at night, and when the Great Khan was caught off guard, it accidentally kicked the Great Khan and seriously injured him!
The Great Khan, who was convinced that he had fallen into the trap of the Great Sacrifice, took his last breath, appointed his eldest son as the new Great Khan, and ordered the Great Sacrifice to be executed!
... This is what Wei heard about. As for the grievances among the Rong people, it is not clear.
In this case, Beirong, who was already at a disadvantage, would definitely not be able to fight.
But whether the Wei army was carrying baggage or worrying about the south, it was decided that the army could not continue to penetrate into the grassland - winter was coming, and winter in the grassland was no joke.
So when the Rong people took the initiative to send envoys to sue for peace, Wen Yaozi made a show of it and agreed to the peace talks.
Because both sides had issues, the peace talks were very quick.
The Rong people withdrew from the Wei territory and returned all the plundered people and the remaining loot - what had been consumed, they gave a group of war horses as compensation - it was difficult for the Rong people to tell whether this request was worth eating. deficit.
Because the grasslands are rich in horses, most Rong people cannot go to the battlefield with only one horse. After their series of defeats, many people died, but not all their mounts were dead. Therefore, we can gather a group of war horses without going back to the king's tent to raise funds.
Now that there is a truce, these war horses are of no use for a while. Moreover, Wen Yaozi promised to compensate them a certain amount of silver for each war horse. Winter is coming soon, because the population and loot must be returned. Even if they can hide some of them because the Wei people will definitely not be able to count them, the bulk of them will be. I can’t hide it, the supplies for winter will not be as abundant as imagined...
The most important thing is that the new Great Khan takes over. Regardless of whether they were of the new Great Khan's faction before, they must show something - the new Great Khan who was born as a great prince will be rare in a group of war horses that are just good for the Rong people. ? !
As soon as the news that the peace talks went smoothly came out, the morale of Yong's army was greatly boosted!
In contrast, their enemies began to have a headache. (To be continued)
