Brother Wanfu

Chapter 84
"My son has really done a great service to the Wei family this time."

Wei Chengtang smiled and told Wei Yunce the news he just got.

"Qin Guanzhong took his daughter away, and my eyeliner in the Suzheng army said that an important person came from the army, and they were placed alone in a part of the camp. Sun Wenjing and others have been going in and out of that place for the past few days. Although I can't find it in a more detailed and deeper way, but nine times out of ten, the Suzheng Army welcomed the orphan of the former crown prince, who is the daughter raised by Qin Guanzhong."

The Wei family didn't know about this, but Wei Yunce came to Beijing to rush for the exam and overheard some rumors.

A century-old family like the Wei family has hairpin tassels from generation to generation, and the tree has big roots and deep roots. If you really want to find out some secrets that are rarely known, even if you spend some time, you can always find out.

At that time, Wei Yunce inquired in Beijing that there might be an orphan alive in the East Palace, and it was a girl.

Unfortunately, at this time, Qin Guanzhong's incident of raising an outsider secretly broke out, and the daughter under the name of the outsider was actually fourteen, five or six years old.

What kind of person is Qin Guanzhong? Even if the Wei family did not have a close relationship with him, they have always been courteous to each other. If someone else secretly raises a concubine, the Wei family has no doubts, but Qin Guanzhong really does not seem to be able to steal a concubine. look.

If this girl is not Qin Guanzhong's niece, then who is she?

Who is worthy of Qin Guanzhong's protection under his nose, while keeping it from everyone, including his wife Luo Shi, for so many years?
The Wei family guessed at first that it was Qin Guanzhong's former friend Ye Zhichen's daughter. After all, Qin Guanzhong had a close relationship with the old officials of the Eastern Palace in private.

But when Wei Yunce brought back the secrets of the palace from the capital, the Wei family had even more unimaginable guesses about the identity of this daughter of the Qin family who suddenly appeared.

She is not the daughter of the Qin family, and she may not be the orphan of Ye Zhichen, but is most likely the widow of the former crown prince entrusted to Qin Guanzhong to be secretly raised by Ye Zhichen, the princess of the East Palace!
The Wei family guessed this, and didn't dare to act rashly for a while.

Of course, if the Wei family reports this to the palace, the palace will send people to verify it. If not, the Wei family will not suffer. If it is, the Wei family will definitely be rewarded by the emperor, and the Wei family will have nothing to lose.

But the reason why the Qingzhou Wei family is a century-old clan is not because of the preference of one or two emperors, not because of the glory of one or two dynasties, but because they have always stood firm during the long change of the throne and even the change of dynasties.

The Wei family is like a big boat, carrying the whole family in the waves. This boat will not go on a certain channel recklessly, but to watch the waves in the water, and wait and see from afar amidst the turbulence. , leave a good way out, and choose in time.

Only in this way, no matter how deep the water is or how big the waves are, the Wei family will never be silent, and will always be an indispensable and prosperous family under the rule of every emperor in every dynasty.

This time, the Wei family also made the choice that is most beneficial to themselves.

First of all, Wei Yunce stopped the imperial examination. After getting the Huiyuan, he excused himself from illness and did not continue the imperial examination.

He did not have a palace examination, so he would not be hand-picked by the current emperor. If the throne changed in the future, Wei Yunce would not be regarded as a student of the emperor, and would not be affected, but would be able to be used by the new emperor smoothly.

If the emperor can sit firmly on the throne forever, then Wei Yunce will take the imperial examination in three or six years, and he will still be on the list.

Similarly, the Wei family also chose not to report to the court that the princess might be a daughter of the Qin family, but they did not make trouble like those former officials of the Eastern Palace, but quietly approached the princess without exposing themselves.

If one day, the princess returns to the imperial city, or even ascends the throne, she will never forget the Wei family.

The Wei family was ready to wait and see what happened, but things developed much faster than expected.

The Suzheng army revolted, and Qin Guanzhong's son-in-law secretly joined the battle with a silver face. The uprisings began one after another in various places. The keen Wei family sensed the sudden turn of the world, and naturally their methods could not stay in the past.

They had to make the princess remember the Wei family better. At this moment, Wei Yunce came up with a plan, not to involve the whole Wei family in the uncertain situation, but also to make the princess feel close to the Wei family.

When Wei Yunce's plan came out, Wei Chengtang felt very good.

Right now, things are progressing more and more according to the Wei family's original expectation, and Wei Chengtang is almost sure that it is the princess.

He glanced at Wei Yunce's unhealed leg, "Although I suffered some injuries, as long as the princess remembers you, it's worth it."

What can make the princess remember her is not any injury, but the first person who fell in love with her, the first man who proposed marriage to her.

The Wei family had long expected that Qin Guanzhong would not agree to this marriage. How could Qin Guanzhong and De decide the princess's marriage?

But this does not prevent the princess from remembering Wei Yunce. This is the foreshadowing for the Wei family to obtain the "Master of Conglong" at the least cost!

The end of the incense was silently burning with an elegant fragrance, Wei Yunce's smile was still a little dull amidst his father's elation.

"The Wei family has done everything they can think of. As for whether the princess will remember it, it is uncertain."

These words made Wei Chengtang frowned slightly, "Can you still remember?"

Wei Yunce didn't respond to this, but just called Xiao Shu Tong Tong An over to serve tea.

Tong An had just heard the last sentence that the elder asked the young master, and seeing that the young master did not answer, the elder looked at the young master more and more suspiciously. Although his eyes did not fall on himself, he was a little scared for no reason.

Speaking of this matter, there are some twists and turns. Tong An has been with the young master for a long time, and he rarely sees that the things that the young master thinks and calculates do not go smoothly.

First, my own girl and the cousin girl suddenly ran up to the girl, saying that the young master had originally planned to marry the cousin girl because of a quarrel with the family, but now he didn't care at all.

If other people heard this, they might be secretly complacent, but that girl is really stupid, she doesn't understand the man's affection at all, instead she felt that her behavior was inappropriate, so she avoided the young master for many days.

The young master was not impatient because of this, nor was he in a hurry to explain to the girl, and he even praised the girl to himself, "My sister has grown up, and her skills have also improved, so she married into someone else's family after that, so it can be seen It’s okay to be bullied.”

While talking, he also selected a few marriage families for the girl, wrote them down on red paper, and asked him to send them to the old man, and asked the old man to take a look.

Tong An was still anxious for the young master at that time, thinking that the girl was so timid and avoided the young master every day, when will things happen?
And Mr. Mu, who taught the girls the calligraphy, has recovered a lot, and soon he will not need the help of his son to substitute for the class.

But the young master was much more confident than he was, so he made the arrangements calmly, and only informed him at the end.

The young master told him that it was just to let him help in acting, and then he pretended to get lost in the mountains.

But Tong An was full of admiration for the son's plan.

The young master simply followed the lies made up by his own girl and his cousin——

He is a man with a sweetheart, but he is not tolerated by his family, and even more puzzled by the woman he loves. However, after falling into a deep pit, he is still willing to fulfill the girl he likes first. As for his own safety, he can be completely ignored. set aside.

Tong An felt that if she was a woman, she would definitely not be able to withstand such an attack from the young master, and she might make an oath to him on the spot, not to marry unless he was married, and even if she failed to marry, she would remember him for a long time in her heart.

After all, he was the one who sacrificed his life for her.

But Tong An never expected that that wooden girl could dig out a thick vine from the dark pit.

She didn't need the young master to sacrifice his life to save her, instead she led the young master along the vine and climbed up.

Under such circumstances, this girl still has the heart to find a vine?

Has she never read the storybook, or has she read too much?

Tong An was shocked when he found out, but he had never seen the person the young master sent to take care of the deep pit before.
This matter, few people know.

The old man didn't know, so he felt that the young master must be sure.

But the young master's calculation at that time was only half done, and the other half was torn away by this vine.

Hence the uncertain statement.

Tong An sneaked a glance at the old man who didn't know why, the tea in his hands almost overflowed the cup, and then he noticed a faint gaze sweeping over.

Tong An's heart skipped a beat, not daring to think about it anymore.

He knew that since that day, the young master's mood has not been very smooth, even when he smiles, it always makes people feel as cool as autumn.

After Tong An finished pouring the tea, he didn't dare to stay in the ground.

Wei Chengtang still didn't quite understand what the eldest son said, and looked at him suspiciously.

Wei Yunce just smiled, brought the tea to his father's hand, lowered his eyes and added two pieces of incense, and then slowly said a word amidst the lingering aroma, he didn't know if it was for himself or give others.

He said: "People's hearts are unpredictable."

A gust of autumn wind blew over, and some leaves fluttered up on the emerald green vine trellis, then swirled and fell, just landing on the wide sleeve of Wei Yunce's Taoist robe.

The young man picked up the leaf, and before he knew it, there were yellow leaves that fell in accordance with the seasons on the vine frame that could be kept green all year round.

He twisted the leaves and watched quietly, when his father Wei Chengtang spoke again.

"That's what I said, but what's so special about that girl? I think she will remember you, don't worry about it." He said, "The Wei family's road is going well, and it will be fine in a while. Continue to wait and see what happens, if this princess really has the ability to go straight to the imperial city, it won't be too late for the Wei family to make a move."

After he finished speaking, he stopped drinking tea and got up to leave.

Wei Yunce gave him a salute and saw him off.

The courtyard became quiet, and the smell of the incense was blown away by the wind, which made people feel refreshed and transparent.

Wei Yunce picked up the yellow leaf again, and looked at it silently for a while. The autumn wind blew his wide Taoist robe up, and the sleeves were filled with cool wind.

The yellow leaf swayed wildly in the autumn wind, Wei Yunce smiled lightly, still faintly, and said something.

"True and false, false and true"

*
Suzheng barracks.

The morning mist was swept away by the autumn wind from the north, and the air became dry and cold, with a faint taste of late autumn.

Qin Shen got up several times at night to look around, everything in her camp and surroundings was as usual.

Just before dawn, he was fine. Li Xiu fetched water and cleaned his face. Seeing that her tent was quiet, he stood in front of her door, and then went to the garrison camp to give orders. When the horse came back, she finally saw some movement in her tent, Su Ye was talking with Tian Dong in front of the tent with a water basin.

"Girl, no. The princess is awake?"

The two servant girls saluted him and said yes, "The princess has been awake for a while, but"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice from the tent.

"Don't tell me, you guys."

Qin Shen:?
It's okay to just listen to the voices coming from the tent, but what can't you tell him?

Unknown to him, he walked towards the tent door.

But as soon as the footsteps sounded, the person in the tent said something hastily.

"Brother, don't come in!"

Qin Shen touched the curtain with his hands, and took it back.

"What's the matter? Is there anything you can't tell me?"

Her voice came from the tent, "No, nothing, nothing."

That being said, it really doesn't look like it's okay.

Qin Shen paused, then turned to ask the two servant girls.

"Is the princess dressed yet?"

The two servant girls nodded hurriedly, and Tian Dong added, "Princess has already dressed above, and she has combed her bun after washing."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shen turned around and opened the door curtain, striding in.

As soon as Qin Tian finished speaking and refused to let him in, he saw that the person had already entered the tent.

She let out an "ah", and hastily pulled out a handkerchief to cover her face.

"Brother, why did you come in? Didn't you say you can't come in?"

Qin Shen ignored her hasty complaints, and just looked at her face covered with a veil.

"What happened to your face?"

Seeing that she covered her face tightly, he thought she had a rash because of acclimatization, "If something is wrong, you should call the doctor over."

He said that but saw the square handkerchief shaking back and forth, she said no.

"Don't call the doctor."

I can't see people, and I don't need to call a doctor, so what's wrong?
Qin Shen was confused, walked up to her, saw her turn around again, couldn't help frowning and asked her.

"What's the matter? Even I can't tell?"

The Fang Pazi shook his head again.

Qin Shen was helpless, seeing that her tone was sound, thought for a while, and said, "If you don't say it, I'll call Tiandong Su Ye to come in and say it?"

He really looked like he was going to ask someone to ask him. The little girl had no choice but to say, "I, I'll just show the elder brother. But the elder brother must promise not to laugh at me."

"I promise it is."

After hearing this, the little girl slowly put down the veil covering her face.

Qin Shen saw that her white forehead, slender eyebrows, and downcast eyes were red and swollen.

It turned out that the eyes were swollen.

Are your eyes swollen from crying last night?
Qin Shen thought of the person who was sobbing in his arms last night. It seemed that she hadn't cried in the past few days, but she couldn't stop crying in his arms.

Looking at those red and swollen eyes again, Qin Shen's voice softened completely.

"It's just swollen eyes, can I still laugh at you?"

She pouted, "That's hard to say, brother is also very good when he laughs at others."

Qin Shen: "."

Was he like this in her eyes?
It's just that he felt relieved for no reason, and called Tiandong Suye and the others to cook a chicken for her eyes.

When he gave such orders, he heard her ask, "Brother still understands this?"

In the past, Mrs. Qin occasionally had swollen eyes at home, and the swelling went down like this.

Qin Shen glanced at her, "Apart from leading troops to fight, I don't know anything else?"

"That's hard to say." She blinked her swollen eyes hard, "After all, when I go out to buy river lanterns, my eldest brother doesn't know that he needs to bring money."

A pair of red and swollen eyes flashed a sly light without delay.

"It seems that I slept well last night." He couldn't help saying, "Then I don't have to keep watch tonight."

"Huh?" She became anxious, and the whole veil fell off.

"Brother is leaving?"

It looked like a rabbit with rounded eyes.

Qin Shen's heart softened.

He suddenly felt that this was not bad, she was no longer the daughter of the Qin family, but the one he wanted to protect in everything he did.

He didn't respond for a while, but just looked over quietly, making Qin Tian feel a little uncomfortable.

Just as she was about to ask him another question, Tiandong called out outside.

"Mr. Sun invites the princess and the general to go to the discussion camp after dinner."

　Today is a diligent 4000-word chapter, and I will continue to work hard tomorrow.

　　good night.
