Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

Chapter 8: Elder sister is like mother - Wei Shuyi
At this moment, Wei Yuan, who was in Daizhou, was completely unaware that his own destiny had quietly changed.

It is said that on the day of the bloody battle at Yanmen, a scout was entrusted by Wei Yuan to send a group of Pao Ze's suicide notes and relics home.

The scout traveled from Daizhou to various places, galloping on horseback, barely sleeping a wink along the way.

Now, I just arrived in Yangzhou.

Wei Yuan's eldest sister, Wei Shuyi, married "Sheng Hong", the general magistrate of Yangzhou, as his concubine.

Sheng Hong's father, who was the top student in high school, married the legitimate daughter of the Yongyi Hou family, who was Xu Changzhi's great-aunt.

At this point, the Sheng family began to prosper. After two generations of hard work, father and son, they have transformed from a family of merchants into a family of officials.

The scout was walking in the streets of Yangzhou City. When others saw him, they all retreated.

Just because the armor on his body was still stained with blood.

The busy running around for the past few days made him look a little embarrassed.

However, coupled with the blood-stained iron armor, the momentum is not diminished, like an evil ghost returning from hell, which is intimidating.

He looks like a madman and always asks questions when meeting people.

"Where is the Yangzhou Tongpan Sheng family?"

"Excuse me, where is the Sheng family?"

"where?!"

"."

Pedestrians on the road regarded him as a madman, and seeing that he was a soldier, they did not dare to talk to him, so they all left in a hurry.

He was already too tired. He broke three horses along the way. If he hadn't been hanging on with a single breath, he would have fainted.

"Who is this person? Why are you looking for someone from Shanda?"

"Look at the blood on him, it's really scary!"

"Looks like he's a soldier."

"."

Passers-by talked a lot.

The scout's mouth was dry, his face was pale, and he felt exhausted all over, and he was about to lose his strength.

Suddenly, an old man with a gray beard who was selling oranges on the roadside walked up and asked with a frown:
"Force?"

Hearing this, the scout turned around and looked at the old man, nodded and said: "Xuan Yijun, set up a mountain camp and scout Li Chuan."

The old man cupped his hands and said: "Ningzhou Xiangjun joined the army in the first year of Tiansheng, and in the third year of Jingyou, he was injured by several Xixia soldiers."

Li Chuan looked stunned and said excitedly: "Brother, where is the Sheng family?"

The old man asked: "What are you doing, Master Xun Tongpuan?"

Li Chuan solemnly clasped his fists and said: "I am entrusted by others to be loyal to others. I hope I can tell you."

The old man frowned and said, "You don't look right. Let's go to the old man's house to rest and have a cup of tea."

Li Chuan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I'll fall asleep and won't be able to wake up."

The old man quickly held his hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you there!"

A moment later, in front of Shengzhai.

Li Chuan introduced himself to several servants of the Sheng family.
"Scout of the Xuan Yi Army, under the orders of the Commander of the Wei Yuan Guard, I am requesting to see Wei Shuyi and Lady Wei. If you have anything valuable to present, please be sure to inform me as soon as possible, please!"

It took about a while to have a cup of tea.

Wei Shuyi is in the yard.

At this time, Wei Shuyi, who was pregnant again, was sitting in the yard, embroidering a knee pad.

From time to time, he would look at his eight-year-old daughter Sheng Minglan playing with his maid Xiao Tao.

This Sheng Minglan is naturally Wei Yuan's niece whom he has never met before.

Although she is only eight years old, her face is extremely delicate and cute.

At this moment, a servant came to inform Wei Shu of what the scout had said.

"Miss Wei, that person also said that he came to see you on the orders of some Wei Yuanwei commander."

Hearing this, Wei Shuyi, who was embroidering knee pads, suddenly raised his head. Perhaps out of excitement, he accidentally pricked his hand with the needle point.

Seeing this, her maid, Xiaodie, quickly said, "My dear, don't you worry? I'll go find something to bandage you."

At this moment, Wei Shuyi looked so excited that he didn't care about the injury on his hand.

"Xiaodie, no need."

She looked at the servant who came to report,
"Where are people?"

The servant said: "He is in front of the gate." Wei Shuyi's face was as gentle as jade. In the past, he gave people the impression of being quiet, elegant and gentle as water.

But at this time, she was a little lost her temper, and without any explanation, she hurriedly walked towards the door of the house.

When Minglan saw her mother in such a hurry, she thought something big had happened, so she caught up and asked:

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Wei Shu was in a hurry and didn't explain, but just took Minglan's little hand and continued to move forward.

Xiaodie and Xiaotao, who is about the same age as Minglan, followed closely behind.

Arrive in front of the house.

When Wei Shuyi saw the scout and saw that the blood on his armor had solidified, he couldn't help but panic.

When Li Chuan saw Wei Shuyi coming and the servant who had just gone to report the news, he asked,
"I don't know, but Mrs. Wei?"

Wei Shu nodded, "I am exactly that, my brother. What kind of gift do you want me to give you?"

Li Chuan took off the luggage on his back and dug out a beautiful wooden box. However, the box was stained with blood.
"Commander Wei said that he wants me to hand over this jade hairpin to Madam Wei."

"Commander Wei also said that he gave this hairpin to his niece, whom he has never met."

Wei Shuyi looked at the blood stains on the wooden box and felt something bad. His expression faltered and he subconsciously took two steps back. He almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Xiaodie helped him in time.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Wei Shuyi forced himself to calm down, took the wooden box, and looked at the blood stains on it, his body trembled slightly, and his heart suddenly hurt.

It's like a sharp knife piercing through the heart.

She took a deep breath, held some hope, and asked cautiously: "Where is my brother?"

Hearing the sound, the scout lowered his head and didn't respond for a long time.

Then, he just hugged his fists and turned around to leave.

He almost fainted after taking only two steps. Fortunately, the old man who accompanied him helped him.

Wei Shuyi's mind went blank, and he chased after him, holding the scout's arm firmly, staring at the scout with tearful eyes, and said word by word:

"Where's my brother?"

Li Chuan's nose felt sore, "Ms. Wei, I still have letters to send, so I'll say goodbye."

Wei Shuyi froze in place, like a piece of wood. No matter how Xiaodie and Minglan shouted, it was as if he didn't hear them.

He just held the wooden box containing the hairpin tightly with one hand and did not dare to let go.

When he came back to his senses, Li Chuan and the old man were already far away.

Wei Shu walked towards the house dully, as if he had lost his soul.

Xiaodie and Minglan were worried about her situation and wanted to protect her.

When she arrived in the courtyard where she lived, Xiaodie moved a chair and asked her to sit down.

Wei Shu seemed to have remembered something, turned to look at Minglan, opened the wooden box, took out the hairpin,

"Minglan, kneel down."

Minglan was puzzled, "Mother"

"Kneel down!" Wei Shuyi was furious, "I told you to kneel down, did you hear me?"

Minglan didn't dare to disobey and fell to her knees with a plop.

Wei Shuyi glanced at it and saw that the valuable jade hairpin was inserted into Minglan's hair. He looked at Minglan with his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Mom wants you to swear that you will take good care of this hosta for the rest of your life. Even if you lose your life, you will not throw this hosta away!"

After all, Minglan was still young, so she vaguely guessed something, but she still had doubts and didn't know the specific situation. "Mother"

"Swear!" Wei Shuyi gritted his teeth.

Minglan immediately said: "Mom, don't be angry. My daughter swears that she will take good care of this hosta."

Wei Shu nodded, turned around and staggered back to his room.

After a while.

People in the yard, including Minglan, Xiaodie, and Xiaotao, all heard Wei Shuyi's cry.

Direct teaching makes people heartbroken.

Minglan wanted to go into the house because she was worried that something would happen to her mother.

But she was stopped by Xiaodie. She looked at the hosta in Minglan's hair, squatted down, and said sadly:
"Girl, this hairpin was given to you by your uncle. You must keep it well."

Minglan frowned slightly and murmured: "Uncle."
