The next day, Shen Zangfeng called Shen Liankun in a serious manner. The two brothers chatted for a whole day. It was not until the third day that they told Wei Shanshi that the Shen family had discussed and agreed to the request of Xiao Liu and Wei Changxu to let Shen Shu Yan left home early.
However, when Shen Shuyan arrives in Fengzhou, she will only stay in the annex with her brothers who are seeing her off, not even Ruiyu Hall. Unless Mrs. Liu is really dead, the wedding date will not be changed.
To be honest, although Shen Shuming who was sending off his bride this time was older, he had never been reassuring. Shen Shuguang was calm but still young, so Wei Changying was a little worried and suggested that if Ruiyu Hall could keep them here, It's okay to live there, since Rui Yutang and Wei Changxu are not in the same house anyway.
But brothers Shen Zangfeng and Shen Liankun both refused: "What does it mean for the daughter of our Shen family to live in someone else's house before leaving the court? Anyway, although Wei Shanshi came early, the difference from the wedding date is only a few months. Could it be that Shu Ming He Guang'er and his two brothers have many followers, so they can't protect Yan'er and stay in the villa for a month?"
"We can let them go to Ruiyu Hall to pay their respects during the day." Shen Zangfeng said privately, "They must live in the villa bought by our family. I promise to let Yan'er go to Fengzhou in advance, which is to take care of her husband's elders. She is ill, but after all, Rui Yutang and her husband’s family are from the same family, and they are so closely related by blood. After all, it seems not reserved enough to live in Rui Yutang without officially marrying each other.”
Then he said, "Whether you live in Ruiyu Hall or not, since you are in Fengzhou City, are you still afraid that your father-in-law and mother-in-law won't take care of you?"
Wei Changying had nothing to say, so he had to write a letter quickly and ask his son to take it to his parents' family, asking them to pay more attention to it.
"Although Yan'er is the legitimate daughter of our second brother, she has actually been raised in our third bedroom for the past few years. She is no different from the legitimate daughter of our third bedroom." After agreeing to Wei Shanshi to pick him up in advance, he treated his niece-in-law Beating is also essential.
Especially now that the Wei family is in trouble, Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying called Wei Shanshi to the hall and eloquently described how Shen Shuyan was sensible, well-behaved, virtuous, intelligent, and kind-hearted, as well as the love and compassion they had under their knees. …
Shen Shuyan, who was eavesdropping through the window, felt so ashamed that she turned away and left. Wei Changying still had more to say - she felt the mood of marrying her daughter in advance.
Although she had presided over the marriage of Shen Zangning and Shen Shujing earlier, due to the special circumstances at that time, neither Gu Yan nor Mo Binwei were able to marry in person. Naturally, Shen Zangfeng and his wife could not experience the fun of training their aunt; secondly, The sister-in-law and the eldest niece are not like the little niece Shen Shuyan. They were raised in the third room, giving the third room a mixed feeling of joy and sorrow like marrying a biological daughter.
Now Wei Shanshi was experiencing the treatment of a son-in-law as his niece-in-law. He was scolded by his cousin, nodding his head frequently, laughing endlessly, and repeatedly promised that he would treat Shen Shuyan well.
After Wei Shanshi was sent away, Shen Zangfeng poured a glass of agarwood drink for his wife and said with a smile: "I had prepared something to say, but in the end I couldn't bear to say it."
"What, you think I'm wordy?" Wei Changying looked at him sideways.
Shen Zangfeng said hurriedly: "It's nothing! I just said that you love Yan'er." Seeing that Wei Changying was relieved, he couldn't help but said, "You are so worried about marrying your niece now. I don't know if my niece will come out of the palace in the future." How can you not give up?"
"It will still take many years!" Wei Changying curled his lips and said, "I can't say anything right now, are you just thinking about her leaving the cabinet?"
Shen Zangfeng sighed with emotion: "The days flew by very quickly."
"Call Yan'er to come over." Wei Changying was also lost in thought and sighed, "Although I have said everything that needs to be said, when the matter comes to an end and I don't repeat it again, it always feels like something is missing."
She smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, "It's time for Guang'er to talk about getting married. Maybe he just can't help being wordy as he gets older."
"Go back to your room and look in the mirror." Shen Zangfeng leaned over, pinched her cheek with his fingers, and said seriously, "Don't you feel bad for saying this? The little maid below, who is sixteen or seventeen years old, may not have You are fresh!”
Wei Changying turned around and looked at him lovingly - Shen Zangfeng assured again: "You are still young!"
"No, what I want to say is, how do you know that those little maids down there who are sixteen or seventeen years old are not as fresh as me?!" Unexpectedly, Wei Changying turned his face like flipping through a book, and his face darkened in a flash, "It seems that you usually Pay close attention to them! Or have you been secretly behind my back..."
Shen Zangfeng put his hand on his forehead and said, "I was just making an analogy..."
"Then why do you think of a little maid who is sixteen or seventeen years old?!" Wei Changying sneered again and again, "Sixteen or seventeen years old - it seems that you particularly like women of this age? Do you need me to get a few for you?!"
"Isn't it because you were only seventeen when we first met?" Shen Zangfeng put down his hand and said aggrievedly, "Can't I always remember your appearance at that time?"
"So do you think I'm old now?" Wei Changying started to crack his knuckles.
"So now I feel that you are still fresh and fresh!" Shen Zangfeng wailed, "Didn't you say that you want to call Yan'er to speak? If you don't call, she will leave the cabinet, okay?"
Wei Changying suddenly smiled like a flower again and said, "Look at how scared you are! Can't you just make a joke?"
Shen Zangfeng wiped his cold sweat and said: "You are never the one who gets beaten, okay..."
Because of Wei Shanshi's early arrival, the Shen family was still prepared. Xing'er, Song Zaishui, Su Yuli, Shen Shujing and others all had a good impression of Shen Shuyan, so they helped her out without much delay. They packed her things and sent her out.
Watching the wedding procession winding away, Wei Changying felt sad. Ji Yiren, the adopted daughter, said to the side: "Yan'er is also getting married, and I will leave the court in two days. By then, your adopted mother will be the only one to accompany you." ." She almost cried again, but Shen Shuxie came up and said with a playful smile: "Sister Ji is wrong, isn't it me? I go to the backyard to accompany my mother every day!"
He asked Wei Changying in a flattering manner, "Mother, do you agree?"
"Of course it's not good!" Wei Changying said angrily, "Don't think that I don't know what you are planning! You are so old and you still like to skip classes! Now your eldest brother is married, and in two years you will have nephews and nieces , you have become an elder, and you will not be as good at homework as they are, how can you be so embarrassed!"
Shen Shuxie said disapprovingly: "What's there to be embarrassed about? Even if they are better at homework than children, are they better than children at other things? For example, climbing trees to catch fish, or..." He didn't finish his words - because In the middle of the sentence, I saw Wei Changying ordering people to look for rulers, and he quickly ran away!
Song Zaishui and others who accompanied Guard Chief Ying to the door burst out laughing: "Xie'er, this is my filial piety to you! Do you think you can't shed tears now?"
Su Yuli put her arms around Ji Yiren's shoulders and said harmoniously: "It's not that Yiren has recruited a cousin, it's just that Yan'er has married a good son-in-law, and she has her grandmother and aunt to take care of her when she goes to Fengzhou. You think this is such a great joy Why are you crying on this day?”
In this way, the Shen family was very lively on the day Shen Shuyan left home.
... Although Shen Zangfeng said that unless Mr. Liu is really ill, the wedding date will not be changed. But since Wei Changxu was worried that something might happen to the Shen family, which would affect Wei Shanshi's marriage, they naturally had to advance the wedding date to be on the safe side.
Therefore, a few days after Shen Shuyan was brought to Fengzhou, Xiao Liu's condition worsened. After sending people to the annex to discuss with Shen Shuming and Shen Shuguang, they finally carried her through the door more than half a month in advance. At this time, if Shen Zangfeng and his wife could not see Wei Huan's actions, they would be too slow.
Otherwise, Wei Shanshi had already been to Beijing in person, so why couldn't he see that the Shen family was peaceful inside and outside, and it didn't look like the building was about to collapse? It must have been some hint or misinformation from Wei Huan that made Wei Changxu's family rush to welcome their eldest daughter-in-law.
"When the eldest prince arrives in the imperial capital, my cousin will definitely think of the reason." Wei Changying smiled bitterly, "I hope he won't anger Yan'er because of this."
"What does this have to do with Yan'er?" Shen Zangfeng comforted, "It's my father-in-law and the others who are secretly helping me - my father-in-law is my cousin's elder, and besides, they will always welcome Yan'er. If there is a chance in the future, let's make it up to them. ”
Now that Shen Shuyan is married, she can only think like this.
Fortunately, Wen Zhiqi's return to the imperial capital was very smooth. The main reason was that when he was in Fengzhou, except for Da Yong Ding Ding who was in a bad mood and went to the county below, the rest of the time was spent studying hard in Rui Yu Hall. , although the outside world knows that Prince Dayong is in the Wei family, there is no chance to see him.
Not to mention the outside, that is, in Ruiyu Hall, apart from the courtyard where he lives and the school where he studies, there are a few places where he considers his elders to visit and say hello every once in a while. Don't go anywhere else.
Coupled with the control that Wei Huan and Mrs. Song had over Rui Yutang, Shen Shuming, Shen Shuguang and his entourage entered the capital, and word spread in Fengzhou that Wen Zhiqi had not shown up for a long time.
At this time, Liu Rong had already personally brought the elite members of the Royal Forest Army to the rescue.
So when Fengzhou was still wondering whether the eldest prince was ill or something, the imperial capital already knew that the eldest prince was worried after hearing about His Majesty's illness from the Shen family who sent his relatives to Fengzhou, so he went back with the Shen family. The Emperor's Imperial Guard - The reason why they didn't tell this news when they were in Fengzhou was because the Shen family was originally sending their relatives off and had no intention of escorting the prince. When they first took over the job, they were worried that some kid might be attracted on the way and the prince would make a mistake, so he kept it secret. .
However, outsiders believe another theory: Emperor Yong was not very satisfied with the eldest prince in the first place. He sent him to Fengzhou before Dingding, but has not yet made any intention to reunite him. If Emperor Yong knew on the way that his son was going back to the capital, who knew whether he would directly send an edict to send the eldest prince back to Ruiyu Hall to continue his studies
In order not to be driven back halfway, of course the eldest prince had no choice but to kill him first and then punish him - especially now that the world knew that Emperor Yong was ill, and his son came back to visit and serve him with filial piety, even if Emperor Yong was dissatisfied, there was no reason to do anything to him.
The subsequent development of events makes this latter statement even more credible:
After the eldest prince entered the palace, he was unable to enter Xuanming Palace to see Emperor Yong's sick face. He was left hanging on the steps outside the palace for a long time, unable to move forward or retreat, which was very embarrassing.
Queen Qiu and Princess Xian'an, who were serving the emperor in Xuanming Palace, went in and out several times and expressed their feelings for a long time. There was still silence in Xuanming Palace for a long time, and then the decree came out, encouraging the eldest prince to show his filial piety and allowing him to enter Xuanming Palace to attend to his illness.
"I'm sorry that one can't drive the eldest prince back to Fengzhou immediately!" The Liu family members all sneered when they found out, "Let's see if the eldest prince comes back to take care of his illness, is he in good health? If he is well, Ruowo should come back I have to go see him when I come back. It is natural for a father to seek justice for his son, not to mention that among the people who came back to Qi Bing, there is no Ruowo! If it is not good, the country will not be without a king for a day. , it’s better to ask the eldest prince to supervise the country quickly to prevent people’s hearts from wandering!”
At the same time, in a basement in the palace, Wen Zhiqi looked at the familiar figure behind the crystal-clear ice bricks with trembling eyes: "Father, he..."
Even though the underground chamber was filled with ice and extremely cold, and a lot of spices were stored in it to cover it up, after hearing about it, I still immediately noticed the corpse inside that could not be completely concealed. Stink…
Not only has his father passed away, but it seems that he has passed away...
Queen Qiu, who was helped down by Qiu Baoniang, glanced at Bingzhuan indifferently and scolded: "Stand still! Your father is gone. Now in this dayong and in this world, my mother and your sister will not be able to do anything in the future." I’m counting on you—are you so shivering that you want your mother and sister to accompany your father?”
Qiu Baoniang breathed a sigh of relief: It's okay, okay. When she saw her son, Queen Qiu suddenly felt like a queen mother. It seemed that she was still very promising for her glory and wealth in the rest of her life. (To be continued)
