At this moment, Wei Changying couldn't care about himself anymore. He pushed away Lianju's hand that was combing his hair and personally stepped forward to help Shen Zangfeng put it on so that he could go to the front hall to see Liu Rong as soon as possible and ask what was going on.
When Shen Zangfeng went to the front first, Wei Changying himself didn't bother to dress up carefully. Ling Lianju did a simple pony bun, changed into a dark dress with turmeric and peony patterns, randomly selected a few pieces of jewelry, and headed towards Go ahead, intending to listen to the corner.
But when she reached the second door, Shen Zangfeng, who had taken a small box, had already returned.
"What is this?" Wei Changying glanced at the small box and found that it was very raw and the texture was common willow wood with rough workmanship. He knew that it was definitely not something original at home. He wanted to ask Liu Rong, but the words came to his lips. But I asked about this thing first.
Shen Zangfeng said: "Liu Rong sent it, saying it was snake medicine."
"Snake medicine?" Guard Chief Ying was startled, then said, "He specially sent this medicine? Then why not send it to Duanmu's house?"
Shen Zangfeng pondered: "It's hard to say. Didn't we meet the curfew soldiers when we came back last night? Although they were not rude, they also asked us in detail why we stayed at Duanmu's house so late? After Mo Binwei went to the southwest, now in the imperial capital The troops and horses are all under the control of Liu Rong. I am afraid that what happened last night was reported to him just after we came back."
Thinking of Shen Zangfeng's previous speculation that Liu Rong found a reason to interact with the Shen family after hearing about Yaozi's personal conquest, it was just for surveillance - the guard chief Ying frowned and said: "It was just a visit to Duanmu's house, and that's all he did Baba's coming to our door...isn't this too serious about our family?"
Shen Zangfeng muttered: "I'll think about this again... Just let someone give this medicine to your adopted sister. Regardless of whether it's useful or not, he sent this medicine just to give it to his adopted sister."
"Are you afraid that we won't be able to tell why he came so early in the morning?" Wei Changying glanced at the willow box, snorted unhappily, but didn't do anything, and called Lianju to take it, "Go outside and find one. Young man, send it to Duanmu’s house!”
Because of Liu Rong's visit, both husband and wife felt a little gloomy.
Wen Yaozi was still far away in the southwest, and Liu Rong had blatantly interfered with their ordinary visit.
If Wen Yaozi comes back - especially if he comes back with a victory and a great civil and military title, his prestige will definitely be unmatched by then! Who knows if he will suddenly attack the Shen family? !
"The eldest prince has been left in Fengzhou and cannot return to the capital." Wei Changying studied the ink for her husband who had learned the calligraphy Chen Guang, and said softly, "Qiu is called the queen. If she had not been assisted by Liu Ruoyu, she would have been stepped on by Shan Guifei long ago. In the mud? How can the wife and son-in-law be so cold-hearted... Now Liu Rong comes to our door openly to warn us... "
Shen Zangfeng stretched out his wrist and dipped it in thick ink, then wrote steadily, and said in his mouth: "I have just told people to send a pigeon letter to Xiliang, let's wait a few more days. Anyway, in the southwest, although we have won several consecutive victories recently, However, Qu and Wen’s operation in the southwest is not something that can be accomplished in a day, so they are expected to be able to withstand it for a while.”
Wei Changying bit his lower lip and said: "Fighting in the southwest in winter is a good thing for Yong's army." Winter is not prone to epidemic diseases, insects are dormant, and the winter in the southwest is not very cold... For Yong, who is used to fighting in the north. For the army, fighting in winter is much easier than in summer.
If they were successful, Southwest would naturally struggle.
Without the advantage of climate, relying solely on the natural chasm, the gap between the two sides will immediately appear.
"No matter how good it is, it is impossible to defeat four royal capitals in just one or two months. There is no flat area in the southwest. The four royal capitals are all built on terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack." Shen Zangfeng said He took off his purple hair, stroked his wife's hair, smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, I chose to come back to accompany you. Is it because I want to stay with you so that we don't end up together?"
"Don't worry too much..." His words revealed that he had a backup plan, but Wei Changying was worried again, hesitated for a moment, and advised.
Shen Zangfeng smiled: "No, don't worry."
He looked long and hard at the distant north for a moment, then picked up the purple hair and continued writing.
After noon that day, the Duanmu family received a reply. The letter was written by Duanmu Weimiao, saying that Duanmu Xinmiao was much better after taking the medicine prescribed by Huang. She had woken up just now. She was very grateful to the Shen family. After saying this, Duanmu Weimiao also asked about the snake medicine given by Liu Rong. He was very surprised, so he wanted to ask the Shen family, what did Liu Rong mean
"What else could it mean? He is guarding the imperial capital alone, and he won't be relieved when he sees us visiting each other!" Wei Changying curled his lips and said to Shen Zang who was lowering his head.
Shen Zangning's letters to Duanmu Weimiao came one after another. She hadn't heard about Duanmu Xinmiao being bitten by a snake. She only found out about it now after hearing what Wei Changying said, and she planned to visit him tomorrow.
The main reason why she didn't go immediately was that she had something to do when she returned to her parents' home today... Although this matter was not a serious matter - she came specifically to find out what was behind Song Zaishui's depression in the past few days
"I heard that the fifth cousin sister-in-law is well now. That was what you, the third cousin sister-in-law, persuaded me to do. What's going on?" Shen Zangning responded to Duanmu Weimiao's letter in a few words, and hugged Wei Changying's arm coquettishly. He didn't let go, pestering her to get to the bottom of it just like he did before leaving the cabinet.
Wei Changying rolled up the letter, hit her on the head and said, "I told you not to ask, so don't ask!"
"Do I look like an obedient person? Shen Zangning asked confidently!"
Wei Changying sighed: "Well, you can ask!"
Shen Zangning was overjoyed - but the Chief of Guard Ying said: "I won't tell you anyway!"
"Third sister-in-law, how could you do this!" Shen Zangning felt very aggrieved and said angrily, "I told your fifth cousin sister-in-law that something was wrong with her before! It's better for you! You can talk it over with her and resolve the matter. You didn’t even say hello to me or cousin Su. Didn’t you know that when my fifth cousin was not in good condition, cousin Su was worried about her? Cousin Su, you still don’t know? How dare he leave the house? He was afraid that someone might have done something wrong! Even so, he didn’t forget to send someone to visit him the next day! Later, the fifth cousin got annoyed, and cousin Su was afraid of offending her. Just stopped..."
She muttered a lot, which made Wei Changying feel a headache, so he said: "Your third brother didn't even ask, so why are you asking? It's none of your business anyway."
"You can't listen if it's none of my business?" Shen Zangning leaned on her shoulder, thought for a while, and said, "Does that have anything to do with you, third sister-in-law?"
Wei Changying pondered for a while and said: "Let's put it this way, this matter concerns the Wei family and the Song family, so it doesn't matter if my cousin and I know about it, so it's inconvenient for you to know!"
She spoke so clearly that even though Shen Zangning was very curious, she could only sigh - she had some sense of propriety. She was not named Wei or Song, nor was she the daughter-in-law or niece of either family. It was really like this It is naturally difficult to inquire about the family affairs of the two families.
Unable to find out the reason for Song Zaishui's abnormality, Shen Zangning suddenly lost interest. After being stunned for a while, she resumed the story about Duanmu Xinmiao being bitten by a snake that she had just interrupted: "How could she do that?" Was bitten by a snake? Did the gardener not even know that there was a poisonous snake in the house? "
"It was an accident while dispensing the medicine." Wei Changying briefly told the story and said, "Anyway, I scared Sister Duanmu quite a lot."
Having said this, Shen Shuguang and Shen Shuxie came over to say hello. Seeing Shen Zangning, they hurriedly visited their aunt again.
Shen Zangning glanced at his two nephews and said with a smile, "Children of this age grow up really fast. We haven't seen each other for just a few days, and they have actually grown taller." He then said, "Third sister-in-law, you and third brother. They are both tall, and these two children will definitely be tall in the future.”
"A taller boy looks more imposing." Wei Changying said casually, "Gu Yan is not short either..."
After a while, Guard Chief Ying let his sons go down. Shen Zangning looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he asked, "Guang'er is turning twelve, is it time to see a girl?"
"It is said that we are about to start looking for someone." Wei Changying nodded and sighed, "There are already several people in the family who want to marry each other! But in the past two years, it has been like this or that, and I have never been free! Look at Shu Ming’s marriage, I haven’t been able to make a decision yet.”
Shen Zangning thought for a while and said, "If you really can't decide, what do you think of Sheng'er, third sister-in-law? She is also old enough to marry. You have also raised me, my husband's niece. She has a good temperament and good knowledge." Generally speaking, her appearance is like that of a Linchuan princess, but she is not very beautiful, but her wife and virtue..."
"It's really not possible." Wei Changying shook his head and said, "Do you think I haven't touched the idea of your husband's niece? But when Jing'er came here to choose someone for her brother, she wanted to choose someone with both talent and beauty. Secondly, have you forgotten that Shu Ming wanted to be the master?"
Thinking of the former Princess Qingxin and now the Jiaofang Shenbao, Shen Zangning couldn't help but look dim.
After a while, he forced a smile and said: "Yes, I actually forgot that Shu Ming likes good colors. Otherwise, why would he insist on being the master in the first place? Everything else about Sheng'er is good, but his appearance is quite regrettable, but it doesn't suit Shu Ming's style. thought."
"If the Gu family in Hongzhou has a girl who is both talented and beautiful but who is not engaged, please tell me." Wei Changying warned.
Shen Shuming would have been twenty during the Chinese New Year, and at this age he had neither gotten married nor engaged. If there hadn't been rumors that the Shen family was eyeing him, everyone would have suspected that Shen Shuming's uncles and aunts were treating him badly.
Fortunately, now that Shen Shuyi has landed, Wei Changying is no longer burdened by pregnancy, and is determined to solve the life-long affairs of her eldest nephew - but she was looking at him with enthusiasm, but Shen Zangfeng called her back to the backyard and said: "Have you decided on Shu Ming's choice?"
Wei Changying said: "Not yet, but there are a few that I think are good, and I plan to visit them again. If there are no problems, then..."
"Then don't visit." Shen Zangfeng interrupted her and muttered, "Just choose Liu's daughter, the one who had trouble with Yan'er last time - didn't you and Jing'er both say that little girl looks good? Not bad? Doesn’t Shu Ming like good-looking things?”
"Liu Bing'er?" Wei Changying recalled it and said in surprise, "Do you want Shu Ming to marry her? She and Yan'er had a bad fight, and Yan'er still doesn't like to mention what happened that day!"
"What does a little girl's quarrel mean?" Shen Zangfeng said disapprovingly, "This engagement was proposed by Shili."
Wei Changying immediately understood: "Is Shili also feeling strenuous?" (To be continued)
