The autumn rain flowed down Shen Zangfeng's cheeks and dripped from his chin, turning the crimson brocade robe into crimson. Under the curtain of rain, the garden was desolate, but the young man standing in the rain was full of vitality. Even though he was covered in mud and rain, he only felt vigorous and free-spirited, without any trace of embarrassment.
Shen Zangfeng's thin lips curled up slightly and he smiled slightly. His smile was sincere and he handed over his hands again: "To answer my grandmother's question, my uncle left something important, so my father specially ordered my grandson to chase it and deliver it to me."
Something important
Mrs. Song was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is this important thing?" After saying this, looking at Shen Zangfeng, whose sleeves were dripping with water in the autumn rain, Mrs. Song finally came to her senses and her expression changed. He yelled, "Come up to the corridor and talk! You kid! Why are you rushing to deliver things so that others can rush on their way? Why did you come here in person?" He asked Shen Zangfeng to come up to take shelter from the rain and scolded the stewards, "No You have to be smart! No one thought of taking an umbrella from the front to the back!"
"My grandson-in-law thanks my grandmother for caring about me. It sounds like my grandson-in-law was impatient and barged in before anyone could tell me. Grandma, please forgive me." Shen Zangfeng smiled casually, bowed again, and then strode into the corridor. At this time, his original crimson brocade robe had completely turned into a crimson color. There seemed to be a stream gurgling at the corners of the robe and at the bottom of the sleeves. The whole person seemed to have been fished out of the water.
But looking at his calm expression and the heroic look between his brows, he actually didn't care at all.
Seeing him as a grandson-in-law, Mrs. Song felt sorry for him from the bottom of her heart. She didn't even care that her skirt was still wet. She hurriedly called people in to tell Wei Huan and Shen Zhou, and asked Chen Ruping to prepare it herself. Hot water, personally handed her handkerchief to him to wipe his face, and said lovingly: "Since it is an emergency, we must obey the authority, what's the matter? Look at the mud and water on you, go in and say hello to your uncle, Go take a shower and change clothes first, be careful if you get cold!"
Shen Zangfeng was about to agree with a smile when he suddenly saw behind the old lady, who was already more than ten steps away and was about to reach the half-moon door shaded by plantains. Several maidservants were surrounding a girl in plain clothes with cloudy temples, who was looking at him with a complicated expression. .
Although she was wearing a plain dress and there was a curtain of rain outside the corridor, she didn't feel pitiful because the girl's face was so gorgeous that she was so gorgeous. At a glance, it reminds people of the roses blooming in the garden against the sun in midsummer, passionate and delicate. At this moment, she looks a little haggard in her beauty, but when she looks back, her head is still raised high, without losing the pride and self-respect of a noble girl.
Shen Zangfeng just glanced behind the old lady. The old lady had noticed it, coughed slightly, stretched out her hand and said: "Your clothes are wet on the wind vent here. Stop blowing the wind... Come in quickly."
"Son-in-law, I obey." Shen Zangfeng agreed with a smile and took two steps towards the door. Seeing that the old lady had turned her head and ordered the maid beside him to choose a robe suitable for his body size, he took the opportunity to go to the Banyue Gate again. Bian glanced quickly, but this time he only saw a few banana plants, slightly shaken by the autumn rain.
Inside the corridor door, it was empty. In just a moment, the people were gone.
Shen Zangfeng withdrew his gaze and hesitated, but had no time to think about it. He concentrated his mind and prepared himself to deal with his uncle Shen Zhou's surprise.
On the way back to Shuangting, the rain gradually became heavier.
Mrs. He personally held up an umbrella for Wei Changying and asked the maids to take a few steps back. Under the rain curtain, she leaned next to Wei Changying's ear and said with surprise and joy: "That one just now... seems to be my uncle?"
Wei Changying carried some of his skirt a little and was walking intently, as if he didn't hear anything.
"My uncle calls himself grandson-in-law, and he calls the old lady grandma!" He understood that Wei Changying had never been married, not to mention the things that happened, even if nothing happened... A girl who knows the rules happened to meet her fiancé, even if it was just Just looking at it from a distance can make me feel embarrassed for a long time.
"Didn't the maid say that for such a good person like the eldest lady, how could the Shen family have other thoughts?" He felt that he was in a great mood!
Wei Changying bit his lip and slowly moved the bracelet on his wrist. Until he entered the inner room, He was still saying happily that the Shen family was indeed not a treacherous person. Shen Zangfeng was so handsome and such a husband. Only worthy of Guard Chief Ying and so on... Guard Chief Ying finally couldn't help it and whispered: "Auntie, don't you think... Shen Zangfeng, he and Uncle Xiang Ning rushed back and forth but didn't arrive together. Isn't it strange? Besides, why? He came in person?"
Mr. He was stunned and said: "The old lady asked, maybe it was the sound of wind and rain that the eldest lady didn't hear? Uncle Xiangning left something important, so I--"
"Let's not talk about whether Uncle Xiangning is here this time. Is there anything that is so important that he must bring it with him?" Wei Changying sat down on the couch and said calmly, "The most important thing about this marriage is the time of the marriage agreement. A pair of unpacked flower pendants, but they belong to the Shen family. Even if we want to cancel the engagement, our family should return them, not them. "
Seeing what He was about to say, Guard Chief Ying raised his hand to stop her and continued, "Even if there are other important things to be brought from the imperial capital and Uncle Xiangning has forgotten them, isn't there anyone else in the Shen family who can deliver them? Shen Zangfeng is a member of the imperial guard, and he is one of the emperor's servants. The three guards are not allowed to leave the capital unless ordered by the emperor! It must be the most difficult thing for him to come to Fengzhou, right? "
"Maybe..." He took a breath and felt a little cold in his heart. Maybe he was getting older. "Maybe that thing is too important and others can't worry about it?"
"In that case, what are you bringing to Fengzhou for?" Wei Changying asked, "What's more, Taifu has many disciples under his knees, and even more confidants, as well as secret guards 'Jili', so there are many people to dispatch. Of course Shen Zangfeng The most anticipated one, but now that the Grand Tutor is in his prime, can’t all the other heirs be entrusted with important responsibilities? Shen Zangfeng and I are engaged. According to the previous agreement, we will come to welcome him next year. Now is the time to avoid suspicion. According to common sense, even if he has no royal responsibilities, he should not be the one to deliver things!"
Mr. He was silent for a moment and then said: "Anyway, my uncle has already claimed that he is his grandson-in-law. Even if there are some twists and turns, can the Shen family still regret it after he himself recognizes the grandson-in-law of the Wei family?"
Wei Changying pursed his lips for a long time and said: "I don't know why he still wants me to be the wife of the Shen family, but seeing him in such a hurry to come in, he can't even wait for the servants to come over first to report before sending someone to greet him... I didn't expect Shen to come in. The family sent Uncle Xiangning to cancel the engagement, but he refused to do so, so he rushed all the way, his clothes were muddy, and rushed to the back hall desperately. He was afraid that it was too late, and Uncle Xiangning had already taken care of him. Have you said that you want to break off the engagement? Otherwise, why would you be so rude and go straight to the back room?"
"..." Mr. He hissed, his face changed for a long time, and then he said, "But if my uncle comes here and openly admits to continuing the engagement, Uncle Xiangning will have to obey him now." After a pause, He added, "After a woman leaves the court, she will live with her husband. Even if the aunt is picky, as long as everything is done according to the rules, the family cannot always find fault with the eldest lady. Even if the Shen family wants to cancel the engagement, , Now my uncle is unwilling, which shows that he still feels sorry for the eldest lady. "
Mrs. He pursed her lips and said, "After the eldest lady got married and had children... I thought the Shen family would not say anything else."
Wei Changying supported his forehead with his hands and lay back, leaning on the pocket at the head of the couch. He lowered his eyes and said nothing, thinking to himself: Although he and I have been engaged since childhood, we were brought back to Fengzhou Fashion. Under one year old, he was also young at that time, and we could be said to be very strangers to each other. This time, my reputation was ruined to such an extent that my cousins were even ashamed of me, but he... He went against the wishes of his family and continued this. What is the reason for the engagement
Is it sympathy and pity, or does it have other agendas
Or... understand
Wei Changying felt very uneasy...
She was uneasy here, but the back hall was in chaos. Wei Huan and Shen Zhou, who were about to discuss business in the hall, were startled when they heard that Shen Zangfeng had suddenly arrived. Shen Zhou was even a little doubtful whether the news was true or false. When he saw that the person dragging his body covered in mud and water and turning around the screen to calmly salute was indeed his nephew, he was immediately shocked!
Shen Zhou, who looked bold but was actually steady, was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the seat without caring about the hard journey and wet clothes! Pointing at his nephew, he almost bit his tongue when he spoke: "You, you, you! Why are you here?!"
Wei Huan was about to ask Shen Zangfeng why he came in person, but when he saw Shen Zhou reacting so violently, his eyes flashed with surprise, and he lightly twirled his beard, but he smiled: "Is this Zangfeng? I haven't seen you for more than ten years, if you don't say that I I don’t know him anymore.”
How shrewd he was, he already knew what this uncle and nephew looked like when they met each other. Without criticizing or asking, he changed the subject and said to Shen Zhou kindly, "Look at this kid who is covered in mud." Water, it must be very hard to travel, and it is autumn again, so you can't keep these wet clothes for a long time. In my opinion, let the child change his clothes and take a bath first, and it won't be too late for Dan Xiao to ask why."
Shen Zhou wanted to vomit blood in his heart, but he was also worried that his nephew would be infected by the disease if he didn't bathe and change clothes quickly, so he had to grit his teeth and said, "What Duke Wei said is true!" He was planning to cut through the mess quickly while Shen Zangfeng was bathing and changing clothes. If you show off your shame, let's talk things over while the person is still resting in Ruiyu Hall, so that he can leave as soon as his nephew comes out.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zangfeng had no intention of saying goodbye at all, so he politely saluted Wei Huan and said, "Son-in-law, thank you very much for your concern. Although the road is muddy, it is an official road and it is convenient to travel along the way." But my clothes are not neat now, which hinders my grandfather’s view. Please forgive me! After my grandson changes his clothes, he will straighten his clothes and apologize to his grandfather again!”
His repeated words of "grandfather" and "grandson-in-law", and there is something in his words - the muddy road can be understood as the twists and turns of this marriage contract and the current dilemma it is facing, and the official line alludes to the fact that this marriage contract has long been dominated by both parties. The agreement, which has been confirmed by three media and six media, is fair and aboveboard, and it is "convenient" to travel on the official road. What does this mean
Shen Zangfeng just made it clear that he agreed to continue the engagement and was very active in continuing it.
Hearing these words, Wei Huan gradually smiled and his eyes were kind, but Shen Zhou almost didn't faint!
Poor Uncle Xiang Ning was thinking about countermeasures quickly when he saw that his worried nephew finally turned to him, smiling like a spring breeze - Shen Zhou had watched this nephew grow up, and it was impossible to tell that Shen Zangfeng's smile looked gentle at the moment. Respectful, but secretly proud. Normally, Shen Zhou would have kicked him over, rolled up his sleeves and beat this kid hard!
However, now that Wei Huan was looking at him with a smile, Shen Zhou could only swallow blood and listened to his serious words: "My uncle was leaving in a hurry, but he forgot what his father told him, so his father ordered his nephew to deliver it quickly..."
- Shen Zhou, who knew his nephew well, immediately thought it would be better to let him bathe and change clothes quickly. Tragically, before he could speak, Wei Huan had already asked kindly: "Oh? What is it that is so tight? Do you want Zangfeng to be delivered to you personally, or are you going to fly in the rain?"
"It's a sword." Shen Zangfeng replied with a smile, "Just now, my son-in-law was eager to come in and tell his uncle, but he left it on the saddle."
"The name of the sword is 'Hu Hu'. It was originally a sword that hung in my father's study. When I heard about the assassination of my former commander Fengdi, I picked it with my own hands as a gift..." At this point, Shen Zangfeng couldn't help but blush slightly and paused. After a pause, he said, "Gift to Sister Wei."
Although there are several Wei sisters in the Wei family now, of course the Wei sister that Shen Zangfeng mentioned is... Wei Changying is the only one!
"'Ku Hu'!" Wei Huan's eyes brightened, he held up his hands and smiled, "What a name! What a name!"
The Shen family had fought against Qiu Di for generations because of their hometown, so Shen Xuan hung the sword "Kill Hu" in his study to show his determination. Now, this sword is given to a daughter-in-law who has never been married - the name of "killing Hu" is so straightforward, coupled with the record of the Chief of Guards Ying personally killing the assassin leader and the next one on the official road - although the Chief of Guards Ying killed They are genuine Wei people, but they can't stand the rumors that they are all Rong people!
My future father-in-law’s expected support is self-evident!
With Shen Xuan's recognition and affirmation, the discussion of the guard chief Ying Mingjie, with a little guidance, will turn into praising her for not being afraid of powerful enemies. In order to protect her younger brother, she used her weak daughter to kill the enemy's head and one person. The bravery and courage of the assassin!
Although the Wei family has a prosperous literary style, the women in the family have always been famous throughout the country for their chastity, quietness and elegance. But Wei Huan would never mind the appearance of a well-known and heroic anti-Hu Lienu in the family history, as she would add glory to the Wei family!
What's more, the current situation of his only granddaughter is still so embarrassing...
Wei Huan looked at Shen Zangfeng with admiration and laughed sincerely - while Shen Zhou, who turned pale, had only one thought in his mind at the moment: "This boy... this boy! This boy is really getting more and more daring! In the eldest brother's study I can't even get this sword back, but he dares to steal it and give it to a girl from the Wei family! Isn't he afraid that he will be beaten so hard that he won't be able to get out of bed for a year and a half after he returns to the imperial capital? To be continued)
