Poor Sheng Lanci didn't know that his wife and daughter had reached an agreement after a conversation, and they were still waiting eagerly.
At this moment, I saw Sheng Weiqiao walking out briskly, and I was overjoyed. She came up to greet her and asked, "My dear, your mother isn't leaving, is she?"
"Dad, I think what my mother said makes sense." Sheng Weiqiao held his arm and said earnestly, "She hasn't gone back to visit her grandmother and the others for a few days. Now she takes Ruibin back, even if she gives her grandmother something to do. Cheng Huan, I just plan to go to Zhuangzi outside the city in the next two days to talk to the head of Jingshu County. After that, I will go to my grandmother's house to stay for a few days and get close to my two aunts... At home, I feel sorry for my father to be left alone. It’s been a while!”
After thinking for a while, he said, "If dad feels lonely, you can go back and talk to Lianshan and ask him to send Yuan'er over to stay with you!"
Sheng Lanci stared at her dumbfounded for a while, then said sadly: "My dear girl! How could you do this? Aren't you going to help daddy?"
"I'm just helping daddy!" Sheng Weiqiao felt a little guilty after hearing this, and argued calmly, "Don't you know my mother's temper? Either she doesn't get angry, or if she gets into trouble, who can stop her?"
He brought up the past when Rong Suihe entered the Sheng Mansion, "My mother made an appointment with you that time to show it to everyone! Later on, you didn't go to the Feng Mansion to be a low-key girl again and again. If you hadn't rushed It’s my grandfather’s birthday. Mom wants to give him face. You won’t be able to coax her to come back within three or two months!”
"My dear girl, you also said that we made an appointment to do it for everyone to see!" Sheng Lanci was anxious, "But this time your mother is really angry!"
Sheng Weiqiao said: "Come on! My mother was so difficult to coax when she pretended to be angry, and now she is really angry. You, her husband, who has been with her through thick and thin for many years, can't do anything about it. I am a junior." What can we do, right? Dad, my daughter, I have tried my best, but my mother just can’t get in. What can we father and daughter do? We can only go along with it, otherwise we will make my mother even more angry. , maybe you will have to live in Feng Mansion for a longer time, right?"
Sheng Lanci was very confused after hearing this, and said angrily: "What kind of ecstasy soup did your mother fill you with? Did she say that all the things we had agreed to do together to deceive you were all father's ideas? ? Otherwise, you were clearly leaning towards dad before, so why would you switch sides now? Not only did you follow your mother’s idea of going to live with your grandmother’s house, but you even brought Ruibin to stay with you?!”
Seeing her daughter smiling coquettishly but showing no intention of changing her mind, Sheng Lanci sighed and waved her hands sadly, "Forget it, you little heartless one... I'd better go on my own!"
However, he went in and had fun with Feng for a long time, but Feng ignored him and finally got angry. She even kicked him out of Chengchun Terrace and told him to go to work at the front: "It's time to use money over there in Mi Zhen. His own father and mother have always been unreliable. As my father-in-law, why don’t you hurry up and work hard to save more money for him? If he turns around and he is in trouble, how can our dear daughter and Ruibin live well?!"
The parents were in a state of panic. Sheng Weiqiao knew that they would not seriously argue over this matter, so she turned around and ignored it. She went back to Zhu Ying Xiaozhu and took her maid to pack Rong Ruibin's things and send them to her. In Feng's hands, seeing Feng carrying the child out of the door, she sent someone to deliver the message to Huan Yehe.
Early the next morning, she left the city with her maids, guards, and other people.
When they arrived at the villa where Yong Yibo's family was temporarily staying, they met with Huan Yehe's parents as usual. After a few common words, they went to her boudoir with Huan Yehe.
The two first asked each other about their current situation. To Sheng Weiqiao's surprise, Huan Yehe tactfully asked if Sheng Lanci and his wife were at odds. She couldn't help but be surprised and said: "This happened just yesterday. I I didn’t think it would spread outside the city so quickly.”
"If other things had happened, they would not have spread so quickly, but what I heard from the discussions among the servants here is that your father-in-law has always been affectionate, and he is a typical example of the deep love between Nanfeng County and the whole family." Huan Yehe. He covered his mouth and smiled, "If this is the case, the two of them will get into trouble, which will naturally attract extra attention."
This seemed to be an explanation, but it was actually a tactful excuse. She did not send the manpower left by Huan Guanlan to monitor the Sheng family. She only listened to the servants of the Sheng family.
When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, he pursed his lips and smiled. He did not intend to tell her the truth. After all, the truth was a bit difficult to tell. He only said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that my grandfather was trapped in Chang'an before, and my grandmother was worried. Yesterday A secret messenger sent me the news, saying that everything is fine with my grandfather and he is preparing to return! But because we couldn’t hire a suitable ship by sea, we had to go by land first.”
"My mother was afraid that grandma would be too happy, so she originally planned to take Ruibin back to stay for a while."
"Before I left, I had a few quarrels with my father. The people behind me spread rumors, but it was said that my mother was so angry that she went back to her parents' home."
He added, "It's just that I'm lazy. I tried to persuade them a few times, but when I saw that they were unwilling to listen, I left it alone... I thought it was rare for them to make trouble. If I tried to persuade them too much, they would think that someone would give me some advice anyway." If you can't have nothing to do, just put on airs for a few more days."
Huan Ye laughed together and said: "Your father and mother have always been harmonious. After decades of relationship, how can it not be deep? Even if there is an occasional dispute, it will probably be reconciled again. So if you are more negligent, maybe they will reconcile faster. Woolen cloth!"
After chatting for a while, the two of them turned to the main topic, talking about the situation in Chang'an, "After the defeat of King Gaomi, Meng Guiyu occupied Chang'an and sent people to hunt him down. However, Tao Tao was well guarded and used suspicious soldiers. The plan was to make Meng Guiyu's men unable to determine the whereabouts of King Gaomi and other dignitaries, so that the pursuit was mostly in vain, but they only captured some big families."
"On the contrary, everyone in Chang'an, including the capital, is urging him to deal with Ruru's invasion... Speaking of which, the Northern Xinjiang Army has tried its best, but the disparity in strength is too great. At this time, it has completely withdrawn from Northern Xinjiang, just look at Xiazhou Can you keep it?"
When Huan Yehe said this, he sighed and said, "However, I feel that Xiazhou has a tight terrain and a tall city wall. The problem is that because of Beijiang blocking the way, Xiazhou has not experienced any real experience in many years. The war is on! Not to mention other things, 80% of the baggage is lacking. And what the Northern Xinjiang Army is most lacking now is probably the baggage."
"But Xiazhou is close to northern Xinjiang after all." Sheng Weiqiao didn't know much about the situation in Xiazhou and still held out hope. "The Xu family's sister Caikui did a lot of things in Xiazhou before she divorced her husband's family. It is said that the reason why this marriage was settled was mainly because when Xu Shishu was still in Northern Xinjiang, he and Wu the governor worked closely together and formed a very deep friendship, so they agreed to be the in-laws of their children. !”
"And the Governor Wu has only entered the court in the past two years."
"So even if Xiazhou is not as prepared as Northern Xinjiang for war, it is not completely unprepared, right?"
"Kang Zhao, you don't know!" However, Huan Yehe shook his head and said, "Xiazhou just paid it back a few years ago. Since General Zhou stayed in Northern Xinjiang for ten years, Ruru has repeatedly invaded but failed to break through what General Zhou personally deployed. Behind the defense line, Xiazhou has slacked off to some extent! When Ning Weihou was still in Northern Xinjiang, because wars were more frequent, Xiazhou was still on alert. But if you think about it in recent years, Northern Xinjiang has basically It was all a small fight, plus Ruru’s predecessor Khan Dengchenliyu had no successor, and his half-brother Nafuzhen had many grievances... Knowing that Ruru’s upper class had such problems, Dengchenliyu didn’t care at all. How much attention is put on opening up new territories, but killing Na Fuzhen is the first priority, why should Xiazhou be nervous?"
She sighed, "After all, the emperor is ignorant and incompetent, and King Gaomi and the Meng family are focused on fighting for power! Even if it is such a major matter that affects the fate of the country, no one is serious about it!"
"..." Sheng Weiqiao frowned after hearing this, and said after a moment, "Then this matter will be troublesome. I don't think Meng Guiyu can stop Ruru. Although in Nanfeng County, even if it is the disaster of annihilation, it will be easy to fight. I can’t get through it, but I, Damu, have a beautiful and beautiful Central Plains, and if a group of aliens cause trouble, I will feel trapped in my heart after all!"
Huan Ye said together: "Who says it's not the case? But the most critical thing at the moment is not necessarily the north. The western Xinjiang is conquered by Nafu Zhen himself! He is the newly appointed khan. Although Denchen Liyu's descendants are mediocre, they don't seem to have any Someone who can compete with him. However, not long after the death of Denchen Riyu, his confidants may not be so quick to fall in love with each other. If Fuzhen cannot win this battle, his throne will be taken back by his nephew. , at least his reputation will be greatly reduced, and those who are struggling to gain weight or lose weight will get into trouble with him at any time!"
"When he sent Qili Fagu Ailu and Meng Boqin to invade northern Xinjiang before, I thought he was worried about this and didn't dare to go out personally."
"Now it seems that the plan is to divide the troops into two groups and attack from the north to the west at the same time..."
Her face darkened, "This is no longer an ordinary war between two countries, this is... He is planning to change the fate of the Central Plains in one fell swoop! How dare a mere barbarian do this?!"
"So Fuzhen personally invaded Western Xinjiang?" Unexpectedly, Sheng Weiqiao's expression changed when he heard this, and he said in surprise, "When did this happen? Mi Zhen didn't even mention it in the letters he wrote yesterday!!!"
Huan Ye was stunned, and then he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Ah, then I have caused trouble for him... maybe I am afraid that you will worry?"
Seeing her ugly face, he persuaded her, "We really can't get involved in this kind of thing. You have the young prince with you now. I guess Mi Zhen was probably afraid that you would worry about it, so she didn't mention it. He means well, don’t blame him!”
Sheng Weiqiao's chest rose and fell for a long time before he squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "Well, I don't blame him. This kind of thing doesn't happen just once or twice. If this continues, I will almost get used to it!!!"
Waving her hand to stop Huan Yehe's continued persuasion, she asked, "What's the situation in Western Xinjiang now? Before, it was just Sai Li who led the troops. Mi Zhen also made a lot of preparations and even pulled over the southern Xinjiang army. However, Yi After all, the state city was still not saved...Now that Fuzhen is personally taking action, what's going on with Yizhou?"
"The news I received said that Na Fuzhen personally led his troops to attack Yizhou." Huan Yehe said apologetically, "As for the result, it hasn't arrived yet. After all, the one to the west and the other to the south are too far away. Got it!"
Sheng Weiqiao took a deep breath, repeatedly warned herself to calm down, and said to her again: "Sooner or later, news will come out about such a big thing. Mi Zhen thought she was doing it for my own good, and didn't think about what he told me himself. Even if I am worried, anyway I have some confidence in my heart. He didn’t say anything. As it is now, I learned from you that you don’t know all the details and that’s what makes you unspeakably anxious!”
He said angrily, "Why did I marry such a person! How many times have I said this, but I still talk to myself like this and don't care about other people's moods!!! When I get angry, I really want to break up with him!"
"But don't!" Huan Ye said hurriedly, "Otherwise Mi Zhen will have to kill me!"
Sheng Weiqiao was also talking angrily. Now that she had enlightened her, her anger calmed down a bit and she said, "I'll go back and ask my father what news my family brought back from the caravan that recently went to Western Xinjiang... Alas, but in this situation, Jingshu, where do you hope? The emperor has been in a coma for so many years, and now everything is like a piece of loose sand. Ruru has a new ambitious Khan. Just look at this You can see how big Na Fu Zhen’s appetite is by looking at Fan Zhen’s attack!”
