spring as old

It's just past noon, and there's still half a day to go.There was nothing to do at home, so Pu Yang and Wei Xiu went to the study to write posts, Wei Xiu wrote, and Pu Yang studied ink for her.

However, the number of small characters can be completed in a moment.Wei Xiu put it aside and dried the ink to dry.The red name card, with Zhilan dark patterns on the corners, does not look luxurious, but very elegant.

When the ink was dry, Wei Xiu handed it to Puyang, and Puyang took it, and recruited a servant to send him to the prime minister's residence.

As soon as the servant left, Pu Yang looked at Wei Xiu and said with a smile: "Mr. has only been in Beijing for two years, but he knows very well about the behavior of officials and officials in Beijing."

Wei Xiu paused when she put down her pen, and just smiled: "No matter how particular you are, it's nothing more than basic necessities of life."

Pu Yang just said something casually, and he didn't think deeply about her explanation.

The two waited together for the response from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Response came quickly.

Today is not Xiumu. All the men in the prime minister's mansion either go to the government office or go to school, and only the female relatives stay in the mansion.The reply was not in the name of Prime Minister Wang, but in the name of the old lady.If they don't have to wait for tomorrow morning, they will come here today, the home has already been prepared, and a banquet will be held.

If it is said that among the many relatives and friends, the one who is most worried about Puyang is the old lady.The old man always thought that the son-in-law was weak and hard to rely on, so he was very worried about Puyang's suffering after marriage.In addition, the marriage was ordered by the emperor, and the old man had never even seen the son-in-law's face, so he was even more worried.The prime minister has told her many times that the new son-in-law has good character, great talent, and good looks, and it is true that there are some shortcomings, but now that the princess is in this position, there are so many servants in the mansion that he needs to do it himself. A few?This deficiency is barely made up for.

The old lady also knew the truth, but she couldn't let go of her heart until she saw it in front of others.As soon as the greeting card arrives, the old lady is unwilling to wait for a moment.

Pu Yang smiled and said to Wei Xiu: "Grandmother has been talking about the son-in-law, let the old man take a good look at it after today is over."

Wei Xiu became a little worried, most of the old people who love the younger generation would not like a person like her.The old lady cared about the princess, and she would not be satisfied if she thought about it.

But if he put his worries on his face easily, Wei Xiu would not be Wei Xiu.The light in her eyes dimmed a bit, but her expression was still calm, no different from usual, she followed the princess and said, "It turned out that I was not careful, I should have paid respects to the old lady long ago."

When Jinwu fell to the west, the two packed up and went out by car.

In the prime minister's mansion, everyone is ready.Prime Minister Wang and his wife sat upright in the hall, and several uncles led the juniors to wait at the door.Everyone changed their official uniforms and wore homely clothes. The clothes were brand new, and they were all newly bought. They were both kind and solemn.

Judging by the weather, it's just past the time to go down to the Yamen, and it must be the old lady who sent her servants to inform her children and grandchildren to return home early if they can arrive in such a neat way.

As soon as the princess and son-in-law arrived, everyone bowed down together, and Pu Yang and Wei Xiu also solemnly returned the salute.Ding Xingwang of the Wang family, after the meeting, "uncle", "sister", and "brother" called each other for a while, and it was uncle who said: "The family is waiting in the hall, the princess and the son-in-law go first. It is right to meet Fang."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone retreated to the two sides and made way in the middle.

The steps in front of the hall are covered with thick wooden boards to facilitate the wheelchair going up and down. It can be seen that everyone in the Wang family treated the new son-in-law very thoughtfully.

Wei Xiu was always steady, but now she couldn't help becoming nervous.The servant behind her pushed her forward, and Puyang was beside her.Wei Xiu turned her head to look at her, and saw that Pu Yang was also turning her head.The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked forward again.

The prime minister and his wife had long waited for it, when Puyang and Wei Xiu arrived in front of them, they bent over to salute, the prime minister watched them say three good words in succession, and his gratification was beyond words.

The old lady also looked at the two lovingly, seeing Puyang's gentle demeanor, the radiance in her eyes was as bright as a moon, she knew she was really happy, and finally let go of most of her heart that had been hanging around.

Seeing this, Wei Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief.

When you come to the door for the first time, you should come with a gift.The grandfather's family is close, and the etiquette is not precious, but caring.Wei Xiu has a good grasp of the proportions, and it is obvious that she has carefully considered it.Seeing this, the old lady felt a little more happy.

The banquet has been set, and the princess and son-in-law have arrived, and the banquet can begin.

There was no joy at the banquet, so Wang Gun first opened his mouth to explain: "Your Majesty is sick in bed, it is not appropriate to be too extravagant at this time."

This is a matter of course, not to mention the family banquet, no one cares whether there is joy or not.

After this banquet, Wei Xiu met his grandfather's family, and let the juniors recognize each other.The descendants of the Wang family are naturally extraordinary, each of them has its own uniqueness, some are good at landscapes, some are good at silk and bamboo, and there are a few who care about the imperial court. Everyone talks around Wei Xiu. Wei Xiu has studied a lot and may not be proficient. But can say a few words.

When people saw her, although they didn't talk much, they must have the right words, she was like an ancient gentleman, they couldn't help feeling close to her, the estrangement they had just met gradually disappeared, and they began to call each other.

Pu Yang was next to the old lady, at first he was a little worried that Wei Xiu would not be able to handle it, but now seeing that she was very handy, she could subdue the always proud Wang's children with just a few words, he couldn't help smiling, and turned his head to listen carefully to what the old lady said.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Fang turned his head, he saw the old lady looking at her teasingly, her kind eyes were full of smiles.

Xia Hong flew up on Pu Yang's face, and said in a low voice, "Grandmother..."

The old lady patted her hand and said with a smile, "Axiu is a good boy."

As the old lady got older, she had seen many people.When Wei Xiu spoke back to her, she was even more steady and polite, not timid, not flattering, respectful and courteous, you can tell that she has some strength of character.Looking at the gifts she prepared, they were extremely thoughtful, and it was an act of closeness to the Wang family. The Wang family is the princess's surrogate family, and she was able to do this because she valued Qiniang.

"I'm relieved that you have a good home. When I see your mother in Jiuquan in the future, I will be worthy." The old lady sighed with a smile, and she choked on the second half of her sentence.

Speaking of the former queen, Pu Yang was also sad, but seeing the tears in the old lady's eyes, he hurriedly changed the topic, making her laugh, and the aunts beside him were also full of witty words, and spared no effort to make the old lady happy.

The children and grandchildren are around their knees, the house is full of joy, no matter how sad it is, it is only a moment.

Everyone has to get up early tomorrow, or go to the government office to work, or go to school to study at home. Naturally, it should not be too late. After two minutes after Xu time, the prime minister announced a banquet, so that the children and grandchildren can rest earlier.

A family banquet, the host and guest enjoy themselves.Before leaving the banquet, Wang Chun had made an appointment with Wei Xiu, and in a few days, he was going to visit her.

Wait for the crowd to disperse.

Prime Minister Wang looked at Pu Yang and Wei Xiu, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "If you are not in a hurry, then go to the study with me and talk again."

Hearing what he said, Wei Xiu and Pu Yang knew that most likely they were discussing business matters.

It was indeed a business matter, and it was not a business matter, so how could they suppress the curfew and make the two of them stay.

As soon as he entered the study, Prime Minister Wang cut straight to the point and asked Puyang, "Qiniang often enters the palace, why does your majesty suddenly fall ill?"

Pu Yang didn't know about it yet, so he wanted to go to the palace tomorrow to ask about it.Now that Prime Minister Wang has spoken, he probably already has some news.

Prime Minister Wang looked at Wei Xiu again: "Does Zhong Meng know?"

Wei Xiu had some guesses, looked at him, and said, "Last night in the palace, I saw the Duke of Donghai looking uncomfortable. I think it has something to do with him."

Prime Minister Wang showed surprise, but then he was relieved, Qiniang's temperament, if she didn't have real skills, how could she catch her eyes.He nodded and said: "It's him. Several times in the palace, he talked about King Yan, which made His Majesty miss him. The day before yesterday, he talked about the loneliness of King Yan's Mausoleum, which attracted His Majesty. He went to sacrifice in modest clothes, and suffered from the wind and cold. This Donghai County Wang, I usually keep quiet, I don’t want to have this ability.”

Wei Xiu frowned, and Pu Yang was also thinking deeply.Prime Minister Wang picked up the teacup and took a sip. He didn't rush to speak, but watched the reaction of the two of them.

"Prime Minister left His Highness to come down with me, I'm afraid it will be more than that." Wei Xiu said slowly.If it was just Xiao Dewen who urged the emperor to sacrifice to the King of Yan, it would not be a big deal, and it was just a coincidence that he caught the wind and cold.

If it was surprise just now, it is amazement now.Prime Minister Wang praised: "That's right. Zhong Meng is very considerate." His mind was also alive.

Wei Xiu bowed her head to show her humility.Pu Yang also smiled.

"If that's all, that's all." Returning to the subject, the prime minister continued, "Your Majesty fell ill suddenly, and Zong Zhengqing asked why he got sick. His Majesty only said that he didn't have time to add clothes at night, and he was careless for a moment, so he got sick. That's it. , If there is nothing to do later, it will be over. But Jin Wang still has doubts, and he is not at ease, so he asked people to investigate. His Majesty is ill, and before restraining everyone in Xuande Hall, this matter came out."

Originally, it was because I went to King Yan's Mausoleum and came back late and caught the wind and cold, so what?It was clearly because the officials were worried that the officials would have the slightest guess about the Duke of Donghai.

The point is not how the emperor got sick, but how he protected Xiao Dewen after he got sick!

What happened next, Prime Minister Wang didn't say anything, Pu Yang and Wei Xiu could guess it.

"Jin Wang found out about this matter, and wanted to bring disaster to the east, so he revealed this matter to the other kings, right?" Pu Yang sarcastically said.

Prime Minister Wang nodded.

A secret, once more than two people know it, it is no longer a secret.But within a day, even the prime minister knew about it.

Prime Minister Wang is the pillar of the court, and he pays special attention to the emperor's thoughts. At this time, most people would sigh that the emperor is really kind to the king of Donghai County. It is the king of Jin. He spread this matter out, perhaps not because he is afraid of Xiao Dewen, but because of jealousy.But Prime Minister Wang already noticed something was wrong.There was a little hesitation on his face, but his old eyes were full of brilliance: "Qiniang often serves on the left and right of the Holy Majesty, do you know what His Majesty has to say about the King of Donghai County?"

The prince did not stand up for a long time, and others thought that the emperor was still investigating the kings, but Prime Minister Wang was sure that the emperor was dissatisfied with the kings at all.

When today's news came, he couldn't help thinking, could it be that His Majesty still favors King Yan's lineage?

Prime Minister Wang is already guessing.He looked at Puyang without urging, just waiting for her to answer.

Thoughts flashed in Pu Yang's mind, at this moment, she didn't go to see Wei Xiu, but to seek Wei Xiu's opinion.Wei Xiu never said anything, let alone hinted.

No matter how powerful a counselor is, it is only a suggestion, and it is up to the owner to decide how to act.

After a while, Pu Yang said with a smile: "Your Majesty treats De Wen with love and care. If you say you value him, there is no sign of it in the past, but your majesty, the grandfather also knows, will always surprise you. De Wen grows up year by year, Rumu's father is also reasonable, he has often gone to Axiu for advice in the past few months, and he seems to be very sensible." After finishing speaking, she winked at Wang Chengxiang, "I have Wang's blood on my body, and my grandfather and I are very sensible." All uncles and I are one body, if there is anything I know first, I will respect my grandfather."

There are three meanings in the words, first, the emperor does not have that meaning at the moment; second, even if there is that meaning, Xiao Dewen admires Wei Xiu very much, it is not difficult to find an opportunity to make friends; third, she and the Wang family share weal and woe, Once there is a sign, she will definitely come and let me know.

After a little understanding, Prime Minister Wang laughed, shook his head, and said to Puyang: "You. There is no shortage of wealth in the family. What is missing is inheritance. How to pass on the glory in front of you from generation to generation. It doesn't matter, it's up to you. Some would be nice too."

If you support the new king, you are afraid that if you bet on the wrong person, you will lose everything.It's better to be more cautious, even if you can't win the first prize, wealth is always there.

Seeing that he agreed, Pu Yang also laughed, and only then went to see Wei Xiu.Wei Xiu looked at her dotingly, secretly shook her hand hidden under the desk, and was about to pull her away, but Pu Yang immediately held her back and did not let go.

The main business is finished, and the next thing is some trivial matters.

"After you get married, will you return to the Princess Mansion, or stay in Wei Zhai?" Wang Cheng was concerned about the life of the two of them after marriage.

"Qiniang's affairs are all in the Princess Mansion, it's more convenient for us to go back to live after we've made up our minds." Wei Xiu replied.

Prime Minister Wang has nothing to do, but he was also happy to see Wei Xiu respecting Puyang. He nodded and thought of something. Rain, it was planted by General Zhongda himself. The person has passed away, but the thing is still there. If I can see it now, I am afraid that tears will flow down my clothes."

It was as if a heavy hammer had hit her heart, Wei Xiu endured desperately so as not to show any abnormality.

Pu Yang was puzzled: "When will there be General Zhong?" Now the position of General in the court is vacant, and Xu Yuan is in the front, but no one knows who it is, and no one mentions it. Yes, but the history books of the previous dynasties have not yet been promulgated, so how would people know about it?

Wang Chengxiang didn't know her when he saw her, and he felt even more regretful on his face: "The world has changed and time has changed, and the hero has no name."

A word, like a sharp knife piercing Wei Xiu's chest, in an instant, his whole heart was bloodied.
