Shuangjiao

The spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and the successive warnings of natural disasters seem to have been blown away by the spring breeze, and the panic that shrouded the dynasty has been dispelled a lot.

Wen Xueqing stood under a tree, looking up at the tender green sprouts on the branches.

What was she doing at this time last year?

——Of course fighting with Ling Rou.

Thinking of this, Wen Xueqing blushed a little.

When Lingrou was pushed that day, she didn't want to be at a disadvantage, she just acted on her intuition.

Afterwards, when I had a dream, I felt blushing and heart beating.

She didn't know it herself, the thoughts buried in the deepest part of her heart.

After waking up and thinking about that dream over and over again, Wen Xueqing's heart was burning hot. It seemed that she had never seen Ling Rou like that before, so unexpectedly pleasant?

looks very tasty.

Although I didn't actually eat it, the touch in my dream was surprisingly good.

"Sister-"

Called for a long time without reply, Wen Liulang looked up strangely, after a few glances he couldn't see anything, and called again: "Sister! You are in a daze again, brother five told you to show me my homework, hurry up and help me." Down!"

When I came to Luoyang, although there was no Mr. blowing his nose and staring at the back to supervise, there were five smiling tiger brothers who hid their swords in their smiles.Wen Liulang didn't dare to neglect his homework for a moment, so he hurriedly finished it.

Wen Xueqing was completely immersed in her own thoughts, her cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes were shining with strange brilliance.

Wen Liulang touched his chin like a little adult, thought for a while, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Sister! Fifth brother is here!"

This sound was like a thunderclap, Wen Xueqing was startled and almost fell off the chair.

When you come back to your senses, how can there be Wen Goro's shadow?

"Little villain, you lied to Sister again!" Wen Xueqing grabbed Wen Liulang's white and tender bun face and rubbed it, "Next time you do this again, you won't miss your homework."

Wen Liulang was not afraid of her threats, and lay down in front of her with bright eyes: "Sister, what good things were you thinking just now?"

"It's none of your business, have you done your homework?" Wen Xueqing pushed him back to his seat, "Hurry up and finish your homework, I want to check."

"It's already done, sister, check it out quickly, and then tell me about it."

"Then I won't tell you either."

Wen Xueqing turned around and looked down at Wen Liulang's homework.

If it weren't for Wen Wulang, Wen Xueqing would never have thought about it anyway.

Moreover, she could see that Lingrou also had the same meaning.

only……

What Wen Wulang said was all after the house was closed. She and Lingrou seemed unlikely.

Wen Xueqing sighed melancholy.

"Sister, you have been sighing for half an hour." Wen Liulang almost counted Wen Xueqing's sighs with his fingers, "What's wrong with you? You laugh for a while and worry for a while."

"Nothing to do with you."

Wen Xueqing shook her head, trying to get rid of her entangled thoughts.

Wen Liulang shrugged needlessly: "It's okay if sister doesn't tell me, but it's not good for sister to be seen by the fifth brother like this—how about you tell me, let's find a way together!"

Wen Xueqing pushed him away, the corners of her eyes twitching: "No need, I will talk directly to Brother Five if I have something to do."

"Oh..." Wen Liulang puffed his face, "Sister would play with me in the past, and would never avoid me for anything, why did she come to Luoyang, but she often played with sister of the Ling family, and now she doesn't play with me Speak."

"You..." Wen Xueqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she really didn't know what to say about him, so she could only calm down and said, "Don't tell brother five about these things, he is very busy now, don't bother him with these things."

"Because of this, sister should tell me all the more."

Wen Goro said seriously.

"When I get back to Linzhou, I'll tell you everything." Wen Xueqing promised.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Wen Goro high-fives her.

===

When Wen Wulang returned home, it was already the time of the lamp.

Wen Xueqing, Princess Lekang, and Wen Liulang chatted while waiting for him to return.

"I kept my mother waiting for a long time." Wen Goro smiled kindly, and rubbed Wen Liulang next to him, "Is Liu Lang hungry?"

Wen Liulang shook his head, then nodded: "Still hungry."

Not to mention Princess Lekang Wen Xueqing, even the servants beside her laughed.

"Then let's have dinner." Wen Wulang smiled, and took Wen Liulang to the table first.

After eating, Princess Lekang and Wen Xueqing counted some items, sent people to take them to the ferry, and first went to Linzhou with the cargo ship in spring.

"Before you told me about the young lady of the Ling family," Princess Lekang frowned, "I don't think the Ling family seemed reluctant. Is it just the young lady of the Ling family who wants to go back to Linzhou?"

During this time in Linzhou, she also took the time to visit the Ling family to find out.

Previously, the Wen Ling family was eager to get married, so the Ling family would not completely hide it from Princess Lekang.

Just like the Wen family will send some of the Wen family's children to other forces, the Ling family also has its own plans.

You can't always put all your eggs in one basket.

"Who does the Ling family want to choose?" Wen Wulang was very interested. There was only one Ling Rou. Liu Xiancong had just been named grandson. Wei Su was already on his way to Luoyang, and he might stay in Luoyang again as a hostage.

If it were ordinary people's thinking, Liu Xiancong might have been chosen.

But behind Wei Su there is a powerful King Wei, and Empress Wei will not watch her nephew being tortured in Luoyang, and maybe Wei Su will return to Wei in the end.

The political situation is changing, and if one thought is wrong, it will be beyond redemption.

Princess Lekang said: "It should be the grandson."

This is also the reason why she has been reluctant to reply to Liu Xiancong for a long time.Since Liu Xiancong has already secretly entangled with the Ling family, why bother to provoke Wen Xueqing?

It is very likely that the Ling family will produce a queen in the future and reach the peak again.

Looking at the current Wei family, one can see the general idea.

Wen Wulang was noncommittal: "There are many Ling family members, but I can't tell how many are outstanding... I heard that there was one 16 years ago, but unfortunately died early. If he is still alive, we can compete with each other."

The Wei family can have what it is today, relying on the father and son of the Wei family, who are brave and daring to fight, and the right time, place and people are indispensable.

After Wen Liulang listened to this quietly, he asked Wen Xueqing, "Are you going to bring Sister Ling back to Linzhou?"

These days, he and Wen Xueqing have gone to Ling Mansion many times, knowing that Ling Rou really wants to return to Linzhou.

If Wen Xueqing didn't want to get involved in these disputes, it would not be impossible for Lingrou to fall.

Wen Xueqing: "Of course!"

"Zhenzhen?" Princess Lekang frowned, "Are you sure?"

Lingrou can't even be her own master, so the person she marries must be the Ling family's choice.Princess Lekang also hinted that the marriage between the Wen Ling family could continue, but the Ling family didn't appreciate it, which made Princess Lekang unhappy.

She couldn't avoid it, but the Ling family wanted to move forward. The Wen family only needed to guard themselves. Princess Lekang didn't want to get involved in this dispute.

"Qiniang is not willing." Wen Xueqing looked into Princess Lekang's eyes and said seriously, "I don't want to let her stay in Luoyang alone."

"It's not like you, Zhenzhen." Wen Wulang interrupted abruptly, "I'm so surprised to take the risk to save the little lady of the Ling family."

Wen Xueqing was shocked all over, and looked at Wen Goro.

Wen Wulang was full of smiles, with a folding fan flying in his hand, with a calm expression.

Wen Xueqing didn't dare to move, she was dripping with cold sweat: "Fifth brother..."

When Wen Wulang said it, Princess Lekang also remembered that her little lady was still at odds with Ling's little lady.

"I just came back to Linzhou for Zhengdan, and Zhenzhen is so close to Qiniang of the Ling family. Does it mean that she really wants Ling Qiniang to marry into my Wen family?" The more Princess Lekang thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense. Wen Xueqing also sent peony flowers to Lingrou to show her favor.

Luoyang is full of noble ladies, Ling Rou is not inferior among them, she is indeed a good one.

"Zhenzhen don't have to worry, the Wen family always chooses a bride based on character, and it's not difficult to get along with." Princess Lekang is very confident about this.When the previous brides of the Wen family married, Wen Xueqing was still young, and they got along harmoniously in the end.

Wen Xueqing was silent, suffering from Wen Wulang's presence, she was so nervous that she couldn't say anything.

"Mother," Wen Wulang said, "whether the little lady of the Ling family goes back or not, it's not difficult to help bring some things, right?"

Wen Wulang glanced at Wen Xueqing calmly: "I think the young lady of the Ling family also has a lot of things that she wants to take back. We can help bring some back, but it's just a way. If she really gets married in Luoyang and doesn't return to Linzhou, we can send it to you later." Just come back."

"Yes." Princess Lekang nodded in agreement.

Wen Wulang raised his chin and directed Wen Xueqing: "Go to the Ling Mansion tomorrow morning and report the good news to the young lady of the Ling family."

Wen Xueqing was stunned, did the fifth brother see this?

At night, before Wen Xueqing went to bed, a figure knocked on the door lightly.

"Fifth brother, it's so late, is there anything else?" Wen Xueqing was both surprised and expected.

The clothes on Wen Wulang's body were still the ones he wore when he went out - after dinner, he talked with Princess Lekang and then went back to work, and he didn't rest until now.

"Zhenzhen, do you know what's going on in the entire dynasty?" Wen Wulang didn't go around in circles.

The two sons of the Wen family went to the north and the south separately last year, and they didn't return to Linzhou until Zhengdan.

In the north, the army is mobilizing, and the whole Wei region is focused on the Huns' war, but in the south, the banditry is so serious that the people are displaced as reported by King Zhao——

A large amount of land was confiscated by the tyrants, and the people lost their land and could not make a living. The government continued to urge food and money, and asked the people to support the suppression of bandits.

Unable to bear the taxes of various names, many people simply left Hezhou with their families due to banditry.

The Wen family has managed Linzhou for generations, but they don't just rely on land cultivation to support the people here.

In order to encourage farming, Linzhou's taxes have always been the lowest in the entire dynasty.

It is no wonder that people from other places fled to Linzhou.

Linzhou has accepted a lot of people who may not be able to support them, and Weidi is fine. The king of Zhao in the south has asked Wen Guanghe to write several times, suing him for not giving birth.

Wen Guanghe was extremely dissatisfied with King Zhao.

Wen Wulang said: "Wei Wang's son has just arrived in Luoyang after so long, but Zhao Wang arrived in Luoyang early in the morning to congratulate his grandson. His majesty has recovered a lot these days, and he came to the court in person to take back the power in the hands of Li Wang... ..."

Wen Wulang's tone was flat: "Zhenzhen, if you were the young lady of the Ling family, who would you choose?"

"I...I don't choose." Wen Xueqing's face was as white as white.

Wen Wulang smiled lowly: "That's you, but she doesn't necessarily have to."

"She won't!" Wen Xueqing suddenly had a sore nose.

"Zhenzhen..." Wen Wulang looked a little helpless, "I'm just talking, why are you in a hurry, you have to know, even if the young lady of the Ling family doesn't choose herself, someone will choose for her."

He sat silently for a while, and quietly poured a glass of warm water for Wen Xueqing.

"It's good to let this kind of thing pass, it's easy, and you will meet other people, and they are also very good."
