This summer seems to be hotter than usual. Wang Rou put on a single shirt and sat idle in the newly built pavilion. Yanzhou is not like Bingzhou, and the farmhouses here are far less refined than the Wang clan's house. But being able to escape from Bingzhou and come here is already a fortune among misfortunes. This is also thanks to the family's Qiniang who is to be married. If it wasn't for the fact that the family wanted to use her to marry, it is estimated that this other family would not come here with Wang Wen.
It's a pity that the emperor died at the wrong time, otherwise Qiniang would have already married to the party.
Wang Rou couldn't help but feel relieved when she thought of the gift of acceptance from the Liang residence last time. Although the time is short, the other party has no intention of neglecting it. Not only have the gifts been prepared, but even the geese are live geese. With such a first ceremony, the subsequent levy should not be sloppy.
This is not a question of money, but a question of attitude, which shows sincerity. And the other party didn't show the slightest impatience, and every move had the calm and meticulousness that only aristocratic families had. Based on this alone, it can overwhelm many noble families.
After the marriage, it should not be difficult to protect the interests of his lineage in Bingzhou with the strength of Liangfu. And if the daughter is married, she will give birth to a son sooner or later, and if she comes to support her family, she will be able to rely on it. This is the true meaning of the marriage between the nobility. The bloodlines are blended and interdependent, and they have become a huge force that even the imperial court cannot shake.
Thinking that his vein has not produced a high-grade burning for many years, it is also a good thing to have such a good son-in-law now.
While thinking about the end of the national mourning, I don't know when the wedding date will be chosen, when someone outside told me that it was a book from Youzhou.
How could there be a letter from Youzhou? Confused, Wang Rou took the letter from the maid. However, just looking at a few lines, his face suddenly changed, and he suddenly stood up!
how is this possible? !
After being frightened, Wang Rou said sharply, "Where is Qi Niang?"
The maid was also taken aback, and quickly said: "It should be in the boudoir..."
Before Wang Rou could finish speaking, she strode towards the inner courtyard.
The Grange is not very big, and they are different branches, so naturally they will not be divided into many large yards, and the number of people serving them is much smaller than that in Bingzhou. Therefore, when Wang Rou came with her relatives, Wang Qiniang was very surprised and stood up before the embroidery collapsed: "Father, why are you here?"
Looking at the pen and paper on Wang Qiniang's desk, Wang Rou's expression was somber that it almost dripped with water, her robe sleeves were unfolded, and a letter landed at Wang Qiniang's feet: "Is this a letter you wrote?"
When Qiniang saw the letter, she was shocked. Isn't this what she sent to Youzhou? How did it fall into the hands of the father? However, after being shocked, the long-suppressed anguish in her chest burst out. She whimpered and knelt down at Wang Rou's feet: "Father, Qi Niang loves something in her heart, and I just ask my father to fulfill her!"
"Complete?" Looking at Pear Blossom's daughter, Wang Rou felt her head explode, "Do you know that Prefect Liang has sent a letter? The big post has passed, you are the Liang family, and you only need to greet him in person. You actually… you actually…”
So angry that she trembled all over, Wang Rou could not wait to kick up and wake up this seemingly smart daughter!
"Then Taishou Liang is so much older than me, and he is a widow, why did my father want me to marry him? Zhang Lang is different. He treats me wholeheartedly and is an official in Youzhou. As long as his father is kind, he will surely marry me and go home. Father, can't you be like Taiwei Jia, Yucheng?" Qiniang cried, but she didn't want to give up. This is the only chance, since my father already knows, why not push the boat with the flow...
"Shut up!" Wang Rou shouted violently, "Just listening to such absurd things as Jia Wu makes my ears dirty! And what kind of family is the Wang family in Taiyuan? Allow you to learn that Jia family?!"
Jia Chong is not from a noble family, but he has meritorious deeds from the dragon, so he can rise to the top. And the Taiyuan Wang family, even if it is a side branch, can't tolerate such absurd things!
"Father!" Wang Qiniang was completely frightened, her voice choked up.
Wang Rou ignored her, and swept the room with a gloomy expression: "All the servant girls who serve Qiniang, kill them all with me!"
Without these maids who eat inside and outside, how can an outsider hook up with a girl? Those who serve Qiniang, all be damned!
The maidservants, who were already trembling, immediately began to cry, begging for mercy, hoping to escape this catastrophe. But how could Wang Rou let these people go? The servants who were like tigers and wolves rushed in, pulling and pulling people out.
Wang Rou turned to look at her daughter again, and said coldly, "Look at your absurdity, how many people will you kill!"
Qiniang's face was like golden paper, shaking non-stop. However, after trembling for a long time, he still asked a sentence: "Where is Zhang Lang... Why didn't Zhang Lang come... "
"The one surnamed Zhang is already dead! When are you still thinking about it?!" Wang Rou said angrily.
Hearing this, Qiniang's body trembled violently, as if she couldn't hold it any longer, she fainted.
Looking at her daughter who was collapsed on the ground, Wang Rou felt ashes. Such an idiot, marrying to the Liang Mansion is not a marriage, but a revenge! And why did Wang Pengzu specially send a letter to him? In those plain words, no matter how you look at it, there is a coldness. If this matter reaches Liang Zixi's ears, what will happen? Not to mention Liang Zixi, even if the fourth brother knew about it, he couldn't explain it well...
The fist tightened and loosened. After a long time, Wang Rou said, "Be optimistic about Qiniang, don't let her go out again."
He didn't recruit medical workers for his fainted daughter, and he didn't even mention diagnosis and treatment.
As if not seeing the delicate figure, Wang Rou turned around and walked out the door.

When Liang Feng was able to go down to the ground, the national mourning had passed, and the summer harvest was basically over. The sound of cicadas, the summer is strong. Just like those celebrities, Liang Feng put on old clothes, a wide robe, bare feet in clogs, and even his black hair was tied up with a towel. It's not that he suddenly fell in love with this kind of dress, but the constant internal heat and itchy skin made people have to do it.
"Father, are you unwell?"
A soft voice interrupted Liang Feng's thoughts of where he was drifting. He lowered his head and saw Liang Rong looking at him nervously, as if he would rush out to call a doctor as long as he nodded.
Liang Feng smiled slightly: "Nothing. I'm just thinking about things as a father."
Hearing this, Liang Rongcai breathed a sigh of relief, and said seriously: "If my father is not feeling well, be sure to tell Rong'er!"
Seeing his son's appearance, Liang Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. These days, it really frightens the little guy. He hadn't been able to enter the house to visit the doctor for several days, and when he finally saw him, he looked like a ghost who had just finished quitting. As long as it's a person, you can't help but stare. It was also to reassure himself that Liang Rong didn't even cry much. He just waited beside him with red eyes, like a small tail that couldn't be shaken off.
But this kind of companionship is not a comfort.
Just a few days ago, the person who had been by his side quietly left the government office.
He took Yiyan away. Because of a big battle that had to be fought.
In this summer, the entire Xihe Kingdom has almost no harvest. The locust plague completely defeated the already fragile agricultural system of the Xiongnu, and also transferred their main force to Sizhou.
This is of course a good thing for Bingzhou. It is also for this reason that Ge Hong sent a letter, wanting to further clean up the Xiongnu army surrounded outside Jinyang City after the national mourning.
These enemy troops besieging the city, whether it is Jinyang or Yangyi, are a headache. As long as the enemy army does not retreat, normal farming cannot be carried out for a day. Spring ploughing has already been missed, and if summer sowing is missed again, it will be a major loss.
And the lack of food and grass, the enemy's instability is also increasing. No one can fight on an empty stomach. If there is not enough food and grass, they will try to harass the surrounding area and plunder their rations. This is tragic news for Jinyang.
Therefore, when Ge Hong mentioned this matter, the guards in Jinyang City also greatly agreed. Linghu Kuang had saved a lot of combat power in the previous battle, and if the party sent troops to help, this might not be impossible.
With the superposition of various factors, sending troops has become a matter of course.
However, in the past few days, Liang Feng's mind always flashed the scene of Yiyan's departure that day. There was no expected pleading, no anger and despair, he was just the same as before, and he gave the order. However, those blue eyes were burnt on his body as if they were burning. No words, but more than a thousand words.
In the final analysis, it is just the four words "heart addiction is difficult to quit". If it were a different person or time, Liang Feng might be able to be more ruthless and a little more straightforward. But now, he can't.
Gently changing his posture, Liang Feng covered his arms that were starting to tremble with his big sleeves. Can't take care of himself, isn't that the predicament he's talking about
"Master Lang, Master Duan and Master Cui are asking to see you." Outside the study, Cang Lan replied softly.
When the two came to see each other at the same time, there must be something important. Liang Rong sensible retreated into the inner room, and then Liang Feng recruited people into the study.
Sure enough, Duan Qin and Cui Ji both looked solemn. After saluting, Duan Qin handed over a letter: "My lord, Yanzhou has sent a letter. It's a notice... of the funeral."
Liang Feng's heart jumped: "Could it be Wang Zhongzheng..."
"No, it's the Wang family's Qiniang." Duan Qin replied in a deep voice.
Not expecting this answer at all, Liang Feng was stunned for a moment before reaching out to take the letter. The letter was written by Wang Wen himself. His writing is not bad. Now he is sad, and he writes the letter very emotionally. The letter said that Qiniang suddenly fell ill a few days ago, and there was no cure for medicine and stone, so she died. The bride who has not been through the door will stay in the royal family forever.
After lamenting the poor Qiniang, Wang Wen did not forget to comfort him, saying that it was God's will to trick people, so that Liang Feng should not be too sad. Also, although the marriage certificate has been passed, but after all, the marriage has not been accepted, the marriage is not established. In the same way, they are all standing in his position, without any exception. However, after reading the letter, the marriage was never mentioned again.
"It seems that my reputation as a 'ke wife' cannot be taken away." Liang Feng put down the letter and sighed softly.
Encountered such an emergency, it is not that they did not change a person and re-marriage. However, I don't know if the other party didn't have a suitable woman of the right age, or because he was really worried about the sudden funeral, he didn't even mention it. It seems that the marriage with the Taiyuan Wang family will end without a hitch.
Duan Qin couldn't help clenching his teeth: "I can't say, it's the ghosts from Youzhou..."
"Even if it is, what can it be?" Liang Feng leaned on the table, "This is the end of the matter, and it is useless to think too much. Anyway, for the time being, I will not be able to marry a wife."
What Han Shi San can destroy is not just the appearance. Liang Feng suspects that after such heavy metal poisoning, he is addicted to drugs, and he is still unable to give birth to healthy children from women. Intercourse, it is not even a short time to think about it. In this case, getting a wife back is also troublesome.
Cui Ji frowned when he heard: "The mansion is still young, and with Jiang Jien around, he can always recover."
Liang Feng waved his hand: "These are all trivial matters. It's just that after joining the party, how do you deal with yourself?"
Without Wang Wen's marriage, he and Wang Jun formed a grudge. The Taiyuan Wang family may not be his backer in the future.
Duan Qin sighed softly: "It's just to see if Jinyang can clear the siege. And Luoyang's arrangements..."
If he repelled the Huns who besieged Jinyang, it would be considered a credit. No matter who takes over as the governor of Bingzhou, such a hero cannot be bypassed. However, talking about one thousand, and saying ten thousand, in the end, what we need to see is still the plan of the uncrowned king in Luoyang City.
