Royal road

This summer seems to be hotter than usual.Wang Rou put on a single shirt and sat in the newly built pavilion.Yanzhou is not like Bingzhou, and the farms here are far inferior to the exquisiteness of the Wang family's house.However, being able to escape from Bingzhou and come here is already a blessing in misfortune.This is also thanks to the Qiniang who is waiting to be married in the family. If the clan did not want to use her to marry, I guess my other branch would not have come here with Wang Wen.

It's a pity that the emperor died at an inappropriate time, otherwise Qiniang would have married Shangdang long ago.

Thinking of the gift of Na Cai sent by the Liang family last time, Wang Rou couldn't help feeling relieved.Although the time was short, the other party did not mean to ignore it at all.Not only are the gifts ready, even the geese are live geese.With such a first ceremony, the subsequent Nazheng should not be sloppy.

This is not a question of money, but a question of attitude, which shows sincerity.Moreover, the other party did not show the slightest impatience, and his every move had the calmness and meticulousness that only aristocratic families could have.With this alone, it can overwhelm many wealthy families.

After the marriage, it shouldn't be difficult to keep the interests of his branch in Bingzhou with the strength of the Liang family.And when a daughter marries, sooner or later she will give birth to a son-in-law, and when she comes to support the family, she will have something to rely on.This is the true meaning of the marriage between the gentry. The blood blends and relies on each other to become a huge force that even the imperial court cannot shake.

Thinking that his lineage has not produced a burning high-grade for many years, and now it is a good thing to have such a good son-in-law.

I was thinking about the end of the national funeral, and I didn't know when the wedding date would be chosen. Someone outside reported that it was a letter from Youzhou.

How could there be a letter from Youzhou?Wang Rou was full of confusion, and took the letter from the maid.However, after reading only a few lines, his face suddenly changed, and he stood up suddenly!

How can it be? !

After being frightened and angry, Wang Rou said sharply, "Where is Qiniang?"

The maid was also taken aback, and hurriedly said: "It should be in the boudoir..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Rou strode towards the inner courtyard.

The farm is not big at all, and they are from other branches, so naturally they will not be assigned to most large courtyards, and there are much fewer people serving them than in Bingzhou.Therefore, when Wang Rou arrived with a group of relatives, Wang Qiniang was very surprised and stood up from the front of the bed: "Father, why are you here?"

Looking at the pen and paper placed on Wang Qiniang's desk, Wang Rou's face was so solemn that water dripped out. She stretched out her sleeves, and a letter landed at Wang Qiniang's feet: "Is this the letter you wrote?"

Qiniang was terrified when she saw the letter.Isn't this what she sent to Youzhou?How did it fall into the hands of my father?However, after being startled, the depression that had been suppressed in her chest for a long time exploded, and she sobbed and knelt down at Wang Rou's feet: "Father, Qiniang has love in her heart, and I only ask for my father's fulfillment!"

"Fulfillment?" Looking at Lihua's daughter in the rain, Wang Rou felt her head was going to explode, "Do you know that the prefect Liang has sent a letter? The big post is over, you are the Liang family, and you just need to greet him personally. You actually...you actually..."

She was so angry that she trembled all over, Wang Rou wished she could kick up and wake up this seemingly smart daughter!

"The prefect of Liang is so much older than me, and he is also a widowed man. Why did my father want me to marry him? Zhang Lang is different. He treats me wholeheartedly, and he is an official in Youzhou. As long as my father is kind, he will definitely be able to marry me back home. Father, can't you be like Captain Jia and make this happen?" Qiniang was crying all over her face, but she didn't want to give up.This is the only chance, since my father already knows, why not go with the flow...

"Shut up!" Wang Rou yelled violently, "Jia Wu's lewd things, just listening to them will stain your ears! And what kind of family is the Taiyuan Wang family? Can you imitate that Jia family?!"

Jia Chong is not from a family background, but because of his meritorious service in the dragon, 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 looked around the room with a gloomy expression: "All the maidservants serving Qiniang will be killed by me!"

Without these maidservants who eat inside and out, how can a foreigner hook up with a lady?Those who serve Qiniang should be damned!

The trembling maidservants immediately began to cry and beg for mercy, hoping to escape the catastrophe.But how could Wang Rou let these people go?The servants who looked like tigers and wolves rushed in, pulled and dragged the man out.

Wang Rou turned and looked at her daughter again, and said coldly, "Look at your absurdity, how many people are going to be killed!"

Qiniang was so frightened that her face was like gold paper and she kept shaking.However, after trembling for a long time, he still asked a sentence: "Where is Zhang Lang...why didn't Zhang Lang come..."

"The person surnamed Zhang is dead! When are you going to think about it?!" Wang Rou said angrily.

Hearing this, Qiniang's body trembled violently, as if she couldn't hold on any longer, she passed out.

Looking at her daughter who was lying on the ground, Wang Rou felt ashamed.For such an idiot, marrying into the Liang Mansion is probably not a marriage, but a feud!And why did Wang Pengzu send letters to him?In those plain words, no matter how you look at it, there is a gloomy and cold look.What would happen if this matter got to Liang Zixi's ears?Not to mention Liang Zixi, even if the fourth brother knew about it, he wouldn't be able to explain it...

The fist tightened and then loosened, and after a long time, Wang Rou said: "Take care of Qiniang, don't let her go out again."

He didn't hire medical workers for his fainted daughter, and he didn't even mention diagnosis and treatment.

As if she didn't see the delicate figure, Wang Rou turned and walked out the door.

■

When Liang Feng was able to go to the fields, the national mourning had already passed, and the summer harvest was basically over.The sound of cicadas chirping, the heat is strong.Also like those famous people, Liang Feng put on old clothes, wide open robe, bare feet in wooden 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, it's just that the constant internal heat and itchy skin made people have to do so.

"Father, are you unwell?"

A soft voice interrupted Liang Feng's wandering thoughts.He lowered his head, and saw Liang Rong looking at him nervously, as if as long as he nodded, he would rush out to call the doctor.

Liang Feng smiled slightly: "It's nothing. I'm just thinking about things as a father."

Hearing this, Liang Rong heaved a sigh of relief, and said earnestly: "If Father feels unwell, you must tell Rong'er!"

Seeing his son's appearance, Liang Feng couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart.These days, it really scares the little guy.I haven't been able to visit him in the house for a few days, and when I finally saw him, it was that ghostly look that had just finished withdrawal.As long as it is an individual, you can't help but look sideways.It was also to reassure himself that Liang Rong didn't even cry much, and just stood beside him with red eyes like a little tail, which he couldn't even shake off.

But such companionship is not a consolation.

Just a few days ago, the person who was always by his side left the mansion quietly.

He sent Yiyan away.Because of a big battle that had to be fought.

The entire Xihe Kingdom had almost no harvest this summer.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 precisely because of this that Ge Hong sent a letter, wanting to further clean up the Xiongnu army surrounding Jinyang City after the national funeral.

These enemy troops besieging the city are a headache for both Jinyang and Yangyi.As long as the enemy army does not retreat for a day, normal farming cannot be carried out for a day.The spring plowing has already been missed, and if the summer sowing is missed again, it will be a great loss.

With the lack of food and grass, the instability of this enemy army is also increasing.No one can fight hungry. If there is not enough food and grass, they must find ways to harass the surrounding area and plunder the rations.This is bad news for Jinyang.

Therefore, when Ge Hong mentioned this matter, the guards in Jinyang City also strongly agreed.Linghu Kuang had saved a lot of combat power in the previous battle, if coupled with the Shangdang sending troops to help, this matter may not be impossible.

With the superposition of various factors, sending troops became a matter of course.

However, in the past few days, the scene of Yiyan leaving that day always flashed in Liang Feng's mind.There was no pleading as expected, nor was there any anger or despair. He just obeyed the order as usual.However, those blue eyes seemed to be burning, burning on his body.Although speechless, it is worth a thousand words.

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than the four words "heart addiction is hard to quit".If it was a different person and a different time, Liang Feng might be able to do it more ruthlessly and simply.But now, he can't do that.

Changing his posture slightly, Liang Feng covered his trembling arm with his big sleeve.Can't take care of himself, isn't he talking about his predicament?

"Master Lang, Master Duan and Master Cui are asking to see you." Outside the study, Cang Lan said softly.

If the two came to see each other at the same time, there must be something important.Liang Rong retreated into the inner room in a sensible manner, and Liang Feng then recruited people into the study.

Sure enough, both Duan Qin and Cui Ji looked solemn. After saluting, Duan Qin handed over a letter: "My lord, a letter from Yanzhou. It's to inform... the funeral."

Liang Feng's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be Wang Zhongzheng..."

"No, it's Qiniang of the Wang family." 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 style is not bad. Now that he is sad, he writes the letter very emotionally.According to the letter, Qiniang suddenly fell ill a few days ago, and there was no cure for it, so she passed away.This unmarried bride will stay in the royal family forever.

After lamenting the poor Qiniang, Wang Wen didn't 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, the marriage has not been considered established after all, but has not been collected.Everything is based on his standpoint, and there is no difference.However, after reading one letter, there was no mention of marriage.

"It seems that I can't get rid of my reputation as a 'wife restrainer'." Liang Feng put down the letter and sighed softly.

When encountering such an emergency, it's not that they didn't change someone and get married again.However, I don't know if the other party didn't have a suitable girl of the right age, or if he was really concerned about the sudden funeral, so he kept silent.It seems that the marriage with Taiyuan Wang is about to end without a problem.

Duan Qin couldn't help clenching his teeth: "It's hard to tell, it's Youzhou who played tricks..."

"Even if it is, so what?" Liang Feng leaned on the proof, "Things have come to this point, it's useless to think about it. Anyway, for the time being, I won't be able to marry a wife."

Hanshi San can destroy more than just appearances.Liang Feng even doubted that after such heavy metal poisoning and drug addiction, he would not be able to give birth to healthy children after all.Have sex, don't even think about it in a short time.In this case, marrying back a wife is also troublesome.

Cui Ji frowned when he heard this: "Your Majesty is still young, with Jiang Ji'en around, he can always recover."

Liang Feng waved his hand: "These are trivial matters. It's just that after joining the party, how should we deal with ourselves?"

Without the marriage on Wang Wen's side, he had a grudge with Wang Jun.The Taiyuan Wang family may not be his backer in the future.

Duan Qin sighed softly: "It just depends on whether Jinyang can get out of the siege. There is also the arrangement on Luoyang..."

If the Huns who besieged Jinyang were repelled, it would be considered a credit.No matter who takes over as governor of Bingzhou, such heroes cannot be bypassed.But say a thousand, say ten thousand, the final thing to look at is still the plan of the uncrowned king in Luoyang City.
