Chapter 2932 Sharing joys and sorrows
Wu Meiniang took Xiao Shuer's hand and asked softly: "Why don't you want to go to Jiangnan?"
Xiao Shuer bit her lip and said softly: "Although I don't know what happened in the court, how can I leave home and let my husband face those conspiracies and calculations alone in such a dangerous time? We are a family. When we share weal and woe and face each other hand in hand, you cannot send me alone to Jiangnan.”
Princess Gao Yang comforted her at the side: "You are the most important one now. Our whole family has to think about your safety. Not to mention that the danger may not come, but just the sound of the wind, the roar of the wind, the roar of the cranes, and the presence of soldiers in Chang'an City will disturb everyone." What should you do if you have three surprises in one day? Besides, when you go to Jiangnan, you will go back to your parents' house. This is a good opportunity."
In ancient times, it was difficult for a woman to return to her natal family after getting married. According to a custom, the water thrown by a married daughter would be the ghost of someone else's family if she died. Frequent return to her natal family would be regarded as "unknown". The transportation is extremely backward. In many places, a mountain separates two worlds, and you never know what is happening on the other side of the mountain.
Even if they live in the same city, a married woman cannot often go back to her parents’ home to visit...
Xiao Shu'er shook her head and said: "What's so good to see? After leaving that house, I never wanted to go back."
She lost her father when she was young, and her mother also died of illness when she was still young. Although she has been living in a big house in Jiangnan as a direct descendant of the Xiao family, she has never felt much warmth and family affection. When she was very young, she knew that one day she would be married off like a commodity to the elders in her family in exchange for equivalent benefits or wealth.
It is naturally impossible to say that there is no trace of resentment. Who wants to become a bargaining chip in a political contest like an animal?
Now that she has married into the Fang family, the whole family is warm and courteous, her husband is doting on her, her parents-in-law are fair in dealing with things, and she gets along well with Fang Jun's wives and concubines, and no one fights or robs her, which is very rare.
It's just that this is an unexpected blessing, but she is not half grateful to her family - the purpose of marrying him into the Fang family is to covet Fang Jun's power. As for Fang Jun, is he a handsome gentleman or a robber? , has anyone ever considered it?
It was her own destiny to have a good son-in-law, so why should she be grateful to those indifferent people just because her life was better?
Growing up in that luxurious mansion, there were only trade-offs of interests and weighing of gains and losses between people, and their feelings for each other were as cold as frost and snow. The so-called "family inheritance" that outsiders envy and envy is almost the same as the clouds in the sky in Xiao Shuer's heart.
Between gatherings and separations, it does not linger in the heart.
Now she just wants to be by her husband's side, no matter flowers and praises or wind and frost swords, we will shoulder the burden and face it together.
Instead of leaving Lang Jun alone in this dangerous whirlpool, he ran to the warm Jiangnan...
Despite the efforts of Princess Gaoyang and others to comfort her, Xiao Shuer showed rare stubbornness and just shook her head without letting go.
Even if they use the child as an excuse, they can't shake her determination.
Wu Meiniang said angrily: "You are usually a soft and weak person. You don't refute anyone's words. You seem to have no idea at all. Why are you as stubborn as a donkey now?"
While they were talking, Fang Jun walked in from outside, kicked in and out of the door, and asked with a smile: "Our house is full of beauties that are rare in the world, where is the donkey?"
Wu Meiniang snorted and said with a straight face: "Why not? There is a rouged donkey in front of you, and you are so stubborn."
"Ha!"
Fang Jun walked into the house, sat on the chair by the window, and wondered: "Someone heard that there is a rouge horse in the world, where is the rouge donkey?"
Wu Meiniang pursed her lips: "Look, this is the one I'm talking about."
Xiao Shuer was so embarrassed that she slapped Wu Meiniang on the shoulder and said angrily: "You can't forgive anyone with your mouth, right? Sooner or later, you will be mad to death."
Wu Meiniang sneered: "Oh, who dares to offend you? You have to live and die with your husband all day long, and live and fly together. We have to be careful about being blown away by you and divorced by my husband another day."
People with high IQs and thoughtful minds are the sharpest talkers. In this regard, Wu Meiniang naturally completely overturned the simple Xiao Shu'er. Xiao Shu'er was so angry that she pushed her hard and said angrily: "How can I have any intention of living together and flying together? I just don't want to be together." I’m just going to separate from you at this time..."
Wu Meiniang stretched out her arms, hugged Xiao Shuer's plump waist due to pregnancy, and said softly: "Fool, how can this be a separation? As women, we are happy to be able to live and die with our husband, but for When a husband gives birth to an heir and carries on the family line, it is our responsibility!”
Seeing Xiao Shu'er's silent expression, he stretched out his hand and pinched her delicate fair face, feeling sincerely that he cherished this woman who was usually silent but showed off her intelligence.
Fang Jun did not expect that they would argue over staying with him to face the ups and downs of Chang'an. He was moved from the bottom of his heart, and with a smile on his face, he deliberately said carelessly: "It's true that long hair is short of knowledge. After His Majesty's Eastern Expedition, My husband had already ordered Gao Kan to secretly train a group of dead soldiers, all of whom were equipped with the most advanced firearms. Everyone is a master of ten, and they have access to both the mansion and the east palace. Even if others are really bold and want to kill me, they will never find a chance to do it. I really think that your husband is a stick, and he is not prepared at all. If not, would you dare to beat Changsun Wuji out of anger?”
Princess Gao Yang felt relieved and asked urgently: "Seriously?"
Fang Jun said: "More than that? After His Majesty's Eastern Expedition, the crown prince will supervise the country, and the defense of the entire Chang'an City will be taken over by the sixth leader of the East Palace. The rest of the army will not be allowed to enter the city under any circumstances. Even if the Guanlong nobles can send a few dead soldiers, What threat can there be? ”
The wives and concubines suddenly felt at ease.
Although the Donggong Sixth Army has only been reorganized for a short period of time and their combat strength is unknown, they are after all elites trained jointly by Li Jing and Li Ji. How could they be inferior? Moreover, the commanding officers of each command were close confidants of the prince and Fang Jun, so there was no problem with their loyalty.
If it is really up to Donggong Liu to take over the defense of Chang'an, it will be absolutely foolproof.
Fang Jun continued: "My husband is not a great hero. He is most afraid of death. So until His Majesty returns to court, I have made up my mind not to step out of Chang'an City under any circumstances. This blinded those who have ulterior motives." , there is no chance to make a move. But after all, the situation is difficult and no one can guarantee what kind of accident will happen, so Shu'er, you must go to Jiangnan. For the sake of the child in your belly, there is no discussion on this matter. "
"Oh."
Even though she knew that Fang Jun's safety would not be a big problem, Xiao Shuer still refused to leave Chang'an and reluctantly agreed.
At this moment, a maid came in from outside and reported: "Erlang, Wei Ying has something to report to you."
Fang Jun stood up immediately and said to his wives and concubines: "I will come as soon as I go."
He quickly left the house and went directly to the front yard. He saw Wei Ying standing at the door of the outer house. He stepped forward and reported in a low voice: "Erlang, please tell us to keep an eye on Zhao Guogong's mansion. The people we just sent there are back. It is said that Duke Zhao went to Linghu's house in a carriage a quarter of an hour ago."
Fang Jun frowned: "Linghu Defen?"
It is very likely that His Majesty Li Er will take Changsun Wuji to Liaodong. Fang Jun felt that this person would definitely not be willing to stop his activities like this, and would definitely make some preparations and explanations before leaving the capital, so he sent people to guard the door of Zhao Guogong's mansion, watching. The movements of the Changsun family.
But he didn't expect to go to Linghu's house.
Linghu Defen now has a certain style of "washing away all the glory and returning to plainness". He puts aside the fame and wealth that he was so passionate about in the past. He lives in seclusion all day long and writes books and theories. He has a sense of incarnating himself into a great scholar of the world. The internal disputes in Long were ignored at all.
Years ago, he made a scene at the official office and severely stripped Linghu Xiuji's face. Afterwards, Linghu Xiuji not only did not clamor to get back his place, but instead stopped making a sound. This was obviously his father's fault. Linghu Defen's explanation also shows the Linghu family's current attitude towards the situation between North Korea and China - I will not offend others unless they offend me, and I will tolerate them if they offend me...
In this case, does Changsun Wuji think that he can still get the Linghu family involved in the fight for the heirloom, or even abandon his "indifferent" attitude and go into battle naked?
After thinking about it, he warned: "Always keep an eye on Changsun Wuji. Write down carefully where you go and whom you meet. In addition, his sons also have people keeping an eye on them, especially Changsun Jun. That boy is now highly regarded by Changsun Wuji, and he will definitely ask him to handle anything.”
Wei Ying said: "We are keeping an eye on the Changsun family and heard the stewards of the Changsun family talking privately. They said that Changsun Jun has not been seen since the twelfth lunar month of last year, and the whole family does not know where he has gone." (End of chapter)
