V4.Chapter 17

Because of the accident in Yanzhou, the internal fighting of huochentang has eased a lot in the past two years.

However, Liu Xixian, supported by the Weiyuan Marquis group, missed the opportunity to build a career in the border area and delayed his promotion. In the past two years, Weiyuan Marquis tried to find ways to support him, and recently, in order to show Weiyuan Marquis how to do well, Liu Xixian deliberately promoted him. Now, he is just a vehicle commander from the fifth grade.

But Liu Xixian was a cheerful man. Although at the full week banquet held for Liu Keng, the eldest son of his own, his old friends and acquaintances who came to congratulate him were almost higher than him in official positions, they were still smiling and not a little depressed. However, Liu youzhao, the younger brother of Liu Xixian, who was replaced by Liu Xixian and went to hujiangong in the East, even leaped several levels, although he was very proud in his official career, he did not know why. Today, he looks a bit gloomy, and seems to be unhappy.

In the eyes of the guests who come to congratulate, they are all curious and seldom discuss in private.

This is the front yard.

In the backyard, because Liu Xixian's parents were all in Donghu, all the people who came to congratulate him were ordinary people and younger people. After watching Liu Keng, who was sleeping soundly, and congratulating the song Xiyue, a female family member did not have to wait in front of the old men. They got close to each other while chatting in twos and threes while the banquet was still open.

Wei Changying asked his nurse to take Shen Shuguang down to play with Liu Jinger, song Xiyue's eldest daughter, and he made time to talk to his cousin about himself: "I don't think you look good today. Are you tired of keng'er's full week feast? Take care of yourself. Jing'er and keng'er are both small and depend on you! "

Song Xiyue's face is full of red light today, which is very in line with the joyful spirit of Aizi Man Zhou. However, if you look closely, you can see that this kind of color is decorated with powder. In fact, she is dark green now, and she is even thinner than before she came out of the cabinet. At first, she was similar to Wei Changying, but after she had two children, she was plump. Now her cousins are standing together, which doesn't look like before.

After listening to Wei Changying's words, song Xiyue chuckled and said, "I asked cousin Wei to worry. In fact, it's nothing. Just two days ago, keng'er coughed. I was worried in my heart, which made me thinner."

"Keng'er coughs?" Wei Changying frowned slightly and asked with concern, "now he is?"

"It's all right. I just picked him up and my cousin saw it. Didn't she sleep very well?" Song Xiyue smiled quietly and said, "the doctor I asked before said it was just cold, but I don't feel at ease."

Wei Changying is also a mother. He has a deep feeling about this: "children are the meat that falls from us. What's wrong with them? We know it's OK. How can we not worry? But you can't worry too much. After all, you've been a little weak these two years. If you don't take care of yourself, how can you take good care of jing'er and keng'er? "

"What my cousin said is that I don't plan for anything now, just for two children to grow up safely." Song Xiyue sighed, "don't let the mess disturb them."

Wei Changying's eyes moved. He saw that all the people around him were talking with each other. His sisters were trusted servants. He whispered, "but when keng'er was born, someone in the backyard was uneasy."

"They are no more restless than concubines." Song Xiyue shook his head and said softly, "my father-in-law and my mother-in-law have lost a lot of gossip because of my son's landing. What I am worried about now is the situation. Cousin, you see, although we are women, we often hear that there is a civil commotion here and there. Jinger and keng'er are both young Think that they may catch up with the times of chaos, my heart Alas! "

Wei Changying comforted: "so you are worried about this? But you are also confused. Although it is said that the world is not peaceful now and the war is raging, where can people like us be despised in troubled times? " When he said this, he suddenly felt very familiar with it. After thinking about it, he remembered that it was Wei Changfeng, his younger brother, who was punished by his mother to kneel in the court the year before he left the cabinet, who persuaded him to speak his original words.

Remembering his mother's home, Wei Changying couldn't help being in a trance for a moment.

Fortunately, it took a long time for song Xiyue to open his mouth, saying: "it's said that it's better to be a peace dog than a man in troubled times. Although we are not as common as the common people, we are still at ease from the time of peace and prosperity

"Peace and prosperity, who doesn't want to?" Wei Changying patted her on the back of the hand and said, "but we can only have a good time in troubled times! Compared with the common people and the small scholars in the remote places, our status has been blessed by heaven. " Even the royal family is not safe in this turbulent world.

Song Xiyue wants to talk about it again, but when the rain suddenly ran over and whispered, "the second grandson asked the maid to come and ask the little lady to go quickly."

"What's the matter?" said Wei Changying

Song Xiyue is a little worried: "is Jinger naughty and bullying him?" Although Liu Jinger is a girl, and she is more than one year younger than Shen Shuguang, she has a bad temper.

When Wei Changying came to visit last time, he saw Liu Jinger smashing people with the fruit in the fruit plate, and song Xiyue refused to stop shouting.

So at the moment, when the rain came to call, they all thought Liu Jinger had beaten his cousin, and they stood up together.Fortunately, Shi Yu shook his head: "no, just now the second grandson went to find Miss jing'er, but miss jing'er didn't want to play with the second grandson, but went to see the peony in the warm room with Miss Gu's grandson. But Princess Chengxian happens to see the second grandson, and she likes it very much. She beckons the second grandson to her side and plays with the other ladies and young ladies. "

According to Shi Yu, Miss Gu's granddaughter is Gu Sheng, the daughter of Princess Linchuan and her husband-in-law Gu Wei. Because Liu Xixian's official position is not high and his elders are not in the imperial capital, most of the guests invited today are former colleagues and friendly brothers of his family. Because of their youth, these people have few children and are not old. For example, Shen Shuguang is an elder in it. Like Shen Shuxie, who is still in his hands and needs constant care, Wei Changying, like other mothers, simply doesn't take him out.

So today, apart from Liu Jinger and Liu Keng, only Shen Shuguang and Gu Sheng are among the guests.

Gu Sheng, Wei Changying took a picture when he arrived. The little girl looks a little bit regretful. She follows her mother and doesn't reach her father's handsome. Although the skin is delicate, white and tender due to its superior treatment, it is also lack of goodness and plain features. Now it's still small, and it's not very cute to watch. I want to grow up and be as beautiful as Princess Linchuan.

However, the little girl has a good temper. She is gentle, soft and quiet. After she arrived with Princess Linchuan, she saluted the elders in the back yard. She was not upset when she was teased. It was very polite.

Maybe it's for this reason that I can play with Liu Jinger.

Song Xiyue knows more about Gu Sheng. He knows that this is a girl who rarely gets along well with his daughter among his relatives and friends. So it's a relief to hear that they go to see peony flowers together. He asked with concern, "how can guanger ask you to call cousin?"

"The second grandson is afraid that Princess Chengxian will take him home." "When the rain is a bit ironic way," so one side perfunctory princess, one side send maid to come to ask for help with little madam

She roughly said the story: it turned out that Shen Shuguang was lively and smart. When she was called to her side by Princess Chengxian, she didn't answer back. He became interested and took out the sweet words he practiced to coax his grandmother and mother, which in turn made a group of aunts and aunts laugh.

Princess Chengxian was reunited with her husband at the end of last year because she had been married for three years. So far, there is no news, so she likes children very much. He was so excited that he put his arms around him and said: "good boy, you are so lovely. Your aunt really hurts you. How can you be willing to go home with your mother later? Why don't you just go with your aunt? Anyway, you have a younger brother to accompany your mother. You, just accompany your aunt! "

When hearing that, Yu said that he had sat down to ask his cousins why they couldn't help laughing. Wei Changying said: "the princess is so coaxed that he is afraid of being forcibly taken away by the princess?"

Shi Yu said with a smile, "we two grandsons are so smart, how can we be afraid of this?"

But when Shen Shuguang heard this, he didn't feel afraid. Instead, he said firmly, "no!"

Princess Chengxian asked with a smile, "why? My aunt will love you more than your mother! "

"But my aunt can't protect me from being beaten." Shen Shuguang began to talk and said, "I painted red in my father's study yesterday. I accidentally soiled my father's favorite predecessor's calligraphy. My father will beat me when he comes back!"

After teasing his people with the princess, ha burst into laughter and said: "then you have to go with your aunt Chengxian. If you hide in your uncle Gu's house, your father won't be able to hit you?"

Shen Shuguang said: "my father said that he would beat me. It's useless for me to hide anywhere. But my eldest brother said, "my father is afraid of my mother, so I can only rely on my mother to protect me."

All the people were so amused by the childish words of Tongyan that they even said it was a pity that Shen Cangfeng went to Yanzhou to calm down the chaos. Otherwise, they immediately sent people to ask him in the front yard. He was so young and promising that he was afraid of his inner fear to the extent that even his nephew and son knew it?

Princess Chengxian started to tease Shen Shuguang more and more. She said, "let's not tell your father where you are. When your aunt comes back, she will quietly pick you up in the carriage and let your family know. Then your father won't be able to find you. "

Because the princess still held Shen Shuguang when she said this, Shen Shuguang was afraid that the princess would not tell anyone and secretly "abduct" herself. The boy had a lot of heart and didn't say anything to the princess. When the princess spoke to people, he called and waited beside her. He asked her to come and ask her mother for help, so as not to be bound by Princess Chengxian.

After listening to the story, Wei Changying and song Xiyue both laughed and fell. Song Xiyue pushed her sister who could not sit still: "guanger is waiting for cousin you to help, cousin you still smile? It's late. Careful, princess, I really took guanger away Ha ha! "

"He was held in his arms by the princess, and he could still hide it from the princess when talking to Shi Yu?" The guard Ying takes the veil and presses the corner of his eyes, saying, "this smart kid. I'm not sure what the princess will look like now. "
