"Is Qi Jianxun stupid?" The King of Gaomi was suspicious of Luo Pu, a scholar of Hanlin University, and allowed his relative Qi Jianxun, the Minister of War, to besiege Luo Mansion and threaten him. As a result, Luo Pu's widowed mother committed suicide in front of the mansion in public. Knowing this, naturally word spread quickly in Chang'an City.
In the Sheng Mansion, Mr. Xu shouted anxiously as soon as he entered the door, "What's wrong with him, is he deliberately trying to trick King Gaomi? King Gaomi is jealous of Luo Pu, and he just suspects that Luo Pu is the same as the emperor's master, or that there is something to do with Mi Zhen!" However, even if Zhi Tongji said it out at that time and let the outside world know that he had a close relationship with the Imperial Master, what would be the benefit of wronging him?"
"Qi Jianxun deliberately made such a big fuss... What did he think?"
Old Mrs. Sheng frowned and waved him away. He asked someone to make tea. Fang sighed: "It's great that I just heard that Ruru Khan passed away and the new Khan succeeded his nephews. As Ming Zheng tried his best to To consolidate the position, I wonder if he will not be attacked by Damu in the short term... Otherwise, if the good Chang'an is turned into such a mess, wouldn't it be possible to open the door to the thieves? "
He glanced at Mr. Feng, who was peacefully drinking tea, and said, "My family really cares about the country and the people, and never forgets the overall situation. Only if we all take care of the overall situation can we have hope. Then The Errong clan’s own prince doesn’t care, so what if we old men are worried about it?”
Old Mrs. Sheng said sadly: "My dear, I have misunderstood. In the overall situation in the east that day, where did he worry about those old bones like Ming? Did he think that the Qiaoer people were in the northern Xinjiang and the Mizhen people were in the western Xinjiang. Those two places It has been a land of hundreds of battles since ancient times, and there are only a handful of peaceful months! Once Ruru makes any move, she will be worried about whether she can let it go! "
"Calculating the confinement period, Qiao'er should have already been born. Although I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, I just hope that my mother and son will be fine." Sheng Weiqiao was unexpectedly premature and gave birth to a son with difficulty. Mother and son were safe and able to sleep. The matter of He secretly sneaking into Northern Xinjiang to visit in disguise was announced to Mr. Feng in two letters from home, both of which were clearly explained to Mrs. Feng.
Just then, Old Mrs. Feng told his old wife, son, daughter-in-law, young daughter and son-in-law about the matter. However, Mr. Sheng, Mrs. Ming, and Mr. Xu, who were standing nearby, did not say anything. carry.
Not only did he not mention it himself, but he also refused to let anyone familiar with the matter say it. The reason was: "Who knows what the situation will be like when Jie Donglai comes? Will he sacrifice his family members righteously if his in-laws show up again?"
Not to mention the Feng family's approval, Sheng Lanci, the biological son of Mrs. Sheng, nodded repeatedly: He is just Sheng Weiqiao's daughter, and he is like his darling. I beg Mrs. Sheng to be his biological father. Based on what happened before, he I begged the old man to fight for his life, how could he give him the opportunity to betray his own people again!
But at that time, Mrs. Sheng and others were counting on the full term of the ten-month pregnancy. At that time, Sheng Weiqiao must have just given birth. They were all worried that they dared not say out loud. They didn't know whether mother and child were both safe. .
Mr. Sheng was particularly uneasy. He thought of his wife who died in childbirth. At that time, he was in northern Xinjiang, and he was like that. In the shadow of swords and swords, he counted the months until his wife gave birth, and looked forward to the happy family of three after returning home. A scene of peace.
Who would have expected that after a battle, when Kankan returned to the camp, he received the news of the death brought by the villagers through merchants. Young Ai left like that without even having time to take a look at Sheng Lanci, who was fighting for his life, let alone talk to him. He said goodbye.
For many years, he had been praying to hear the woman's words about giving birth, and he couldn't help but think of Ai Shi.
Imagine how she spent ten months of pregnancy alone at home, did she feel scared when she entered the delivery room alone, and how did she feel when she decided to sacrifice herself to save the baby
I couldn't help but think about it, but I didn't dare to think too much.
In the torture of such complicated emotions, Sheng Lanci's cruelty can be used to make up for the deep guilt and regret.
He once thought that he could balance it in this way, so that he would have the honor to meet Ai Shi in Didong a hundred years later. But when Ruru moved to Western Xinjiang before... In the final analysis, he did something that he could not afford to do wrong to Ai Shi, and put her only legitimate granddaughter and grandson-in-law in danger...
The palms of Old Mrs. Sheng's legs holding the tea bowl were trembling a little, but he remembered that when Ai Shi gave birth, he was in Northern Xinjiang and Ai Shi was in his hometown. Now, tomorrow it is Ai Shi's granddaughter's turn to become a mother, but she is in Northern Xinjiang. My husband lives in Western Xinjiang, and my family lives in the south of Chang'an, far apart.
But I don’t know what kind of news I will receive from my side in a few months.
good news
Bad news
Half and half
He put the tea bowl on the table next to him a little distractedly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Lan Ci and Yin Lufou are a perfect match. He obviously hopes that Qiao Er and Yuan Er can also be good, so that in the future If they go east, they won’t be afraid to see their direct grandmother!”
When Old Master Feng heard this, he smiled lightly and said, "Why are my parents so depressed? Are Qiao'er and Yuan'er both very blessed? Otherwise, how could they be born into your lap?"
Mr. Xu didn't know what was going on and said: "Brother Sheng, why should I worry about Qiao'er? That child is a man of great fortune at first glance. He always turns disaster into good luck and eats it up! I think his family That little impediment, I didn’t even see his true nature at first, so what? It’s his own fault that he missed out on such a good girl like Qiaoer, but that means Qiaoer is lucky and destined not to be in trouble with him That kind of husband who doesn’t follow the rules of a husband! It would have been better by then. The little nigga spent all day at home shouting that he regretted not marrying Qiaoer back then!"
When he said that, he felt that he was speechless, so he went on to say, "He is someone who doesn't hesitate to be blessed! Although Ying Jiang and Qiao Er have different personalities, how can they be a rare good boy?! Isn't it wrong to be matched with him? ! It turns out that this little naughty boy, I’ve seen it clearly: he won’t feel so good if he doesn’t get beaten to the bones three times a day!”
"My dear wife, Jing Jing, is a sensible person. I teach Ying Jiang all day long to teach him a lesson!"
"At that time, whenever he was disobedient, Ying Jiang rolled up his sleeves and beat him!"
"Sure enough, after beating Dong Lai a few times, that kid has become much more sensible!"
"Otherwise, I won't be able to let him take the children out to avoid the limelight that time!"
"Brother Xu, I am so open-minded!" Although Mr. Feng didn't know Gongsun Yingjiang's nature, he thought he was a kind person. Anyone who wronged his daughter-in-law and grandson's daughter-in-law should not be like the Xu family. At this moment, he smiled and said, "Just such a grandson, he was beaten by my grandson's wife in front of me, but he didn't feel bad! I begged him to let him go, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to let him go. I begged to go away no matter what, because I couldn't hear his cry for mercy." That’s right!”
Mr. Xu said: "Brother Feng, I beg you to think so. If your son or grandson fails to live up to expectations, people like us will never say something stupid and refuse to discipline him! If he wasn't someone like Lan Ci who was sensible and considerate, I wouldn't be able to reason with him. It’s just a success…”
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Sheng interjected at that time, "I'm too lazy to reason with him. I'll beat him first to vent my anger, and then ask him if he's wrong. If he doesn't know what's wrong, I'll keep beating him. If he doesn't take it seriously, I'll beat him one by one. You can guess it! Quan Dangfu can help him practice observing words and expressions!"
Mr. Xu looked at him sideways and said to Mr. Feng: "Did you hear that? His family beats Lan Ci so much, not to mention his two little brats? It was fine before, but now that he is old, it's nothing to beat him a few times. , it’s difficult to beat for a long time. If my daughter-in-law and grandson’s daughter-in-law move her legs, if she doesn’t obey him, why should he feel bad?”
Mr. Feng burst into laughter and said, "Brother Xu is just a master of the two methods of raising children, but the in-laws are afraid that King Gaomi will be very angry when he finds out."
"They don't know what grudges he had with Mi Zhen in the past, but since father and son have known each other, it's not his fault if Mi Zhen is not filial." Mr. Xu said first, "So you are asking for anger... huh? No Are you talking about what happened in Luo Pu's house? Why did it involve beating the child on the head? "
So the three of them got back to their business. Old Master Sheng frowned and said, "Qi Jianxun is the father-in-law of the Crown Prince of Gaomi. Because the Crown Prince is mediocre and far less capable than Mi Zhen, he has a close relationship with Mi Zhen. Come and be on guard!"
"Luo Pufu is the favorite disciple of the Imperial Master. It would be fine if the relationship between the Imperial Master and Mi Zhen is not revealed. Now that the traces have been exposed, how can Qi Jianxun not keep an eye on him?"
"Bu Nao Qi Jian Xun is not a fool. He should know that Luo Pu's official reputation is not bad, and he is not a descendant of the Huanmen. Without real records, he cannot be touched."
"You have already sent troops to besiege Luo Mansion at night. How come you didn't have any explanation until dawn, but you asked the old lady of the Luo family to commit suicide in front of the house in public?" "
"Have you been tricked?" Old Mrs. Feng took a sip of tea and guessed, "Could it have been done by Marquis Chongxin in Linyuan? Otherwise, how could it be that the old lady of the Luo family just committed suicide and there was an uproar over there? Have you started spreading the word?"
Old Marquis Xu asked suspiciously: "Isn't that Chongxin Marquis the fourth brother of the Meng family? It is said that he has always been ignored and not favored, and he got there by trying to please the Shu sisters?"
"Is that in the past?" Old Mrs. Feng reminded, "At that time, Chang'an was in the east. Apart from the Queen Mother and the two brothers from the fourth room, were there many living people named Meng? The remaining soldiers were very angry or thinking about revenge. Or maybe those who wanted to seek a way out, and joined his command in the east, why did they go all the way to Northern Xinjiang to find Meng Boqin? Not to mention the hardships along the way, Meng Boqin had always refused to ask for help from the Meng family, and operated in Northern Xinjiang. For many years, I haven’t had a regular set of human legs among my legs?”
"Then what will happen to the people from Chang'an after they leave?"
"It's not that Meng Guiyu's two brothers, just because they were not taken seriously and favored before, and had no one in their laps, they have become elders now!"
"Otherwise, he is just a child with a dirty mouth, and unlike Mi Zhen, who has been taught by a famous teacher since childhood, he hastily stepped into the position of the commander of the Forbidden Army, and actually supported him until now. How come he doesn't have a group of useful team members?!"
"Brother Feng is right!" Mr. Xu pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Does the Meng family have been in power for many years? Even if they were suddenly attacked and suffered heavy casualties, there would only be three or two left at that time. He is a young man, but he is also very capable... Alas, the old lady of the Luo family is making fun of her. It is said that she was a widow in her early years and managed to raise her only son. After only a few years of old age, she actually... "
"Brother Xu!" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Feng smiled faintly and interrupted, "I have great sympathy for the old lady of the Luo family? Don't I care about us?"
Seeing Mr. Xu's confused expression, he sighed, "Qi Jianxun sent troops to surround Luo Mansion just because he suspected that Luo Pu was siding with Mi Zhen, let alone those of us who had clearly supported Mi Zhen early on?"
Before he finished speaking, the servants' panicked obstructions and the unique heavy steps of soldiers running could be heard outside the door!
