281. The old man who practices Taoism (12)
Before Mrs. Wei could speak, tears fell all over her face. She looked at her husband expectantly, "Master, Yan Niang..."
Only then did Mr. Wei come back to his senses. He put down the hand touching his neck and opened his mouth to say, "She..."
The old man on the side interrupted calmly, "Long story short."
Mr. Wei choked and had to swallow everything he wanted to say. He only focused on the key points and said, "She wants to see Princess Liang again."
Mrs. Wei was stunned, "Princess Liang?"
"Didn't Yan Niang die young on the road? How could she still know Princess Liang?"
Master Wei hurriedly wanted to explain, but Wei Mingyan walked past him and stepped on him as if accidentally.
He wrinkled his face in pain and glanced at his father's back with an aggrieved look. When he was about to continue talking to the madam, he suddenly realized that the madam and her sister had such a good relationship. If he told the truth directly, it would be a smoke. My mother’s sister has suffered so much, and she must feel very uncomfortable.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Mr. Wei subconsciously raised his eyes to look at his father, and saw that he was looking at him with a faint expression. He was unsure, and asked Mrs. Wei, "Madam, when did Yan Niang pass away in your memory?" "
Mrs. Wei wiped her tears and said with choked sobs, "It was when she and my third uncle, her father, met bandits on their way to the field..."
"Yes, she encountered bandits. Later, Yan Niang was separated from her parents and was rescued by Princess Liang who was passing by."
As he spoke, Mr. Wei carefully looked at his father's face. When he saw a rare smile on his face, he felt certain that the next words would be easier to say.
"After that, Yan Niang has been growing up by Princess Liang's side. Because she was too young and couldn't remember things in the palace, she couldn't find her family. She was by Princess Liang's side, nominally a girl, but actually she was raised as a daughter. After that …”
Mr. Wei had not lied much before, and his expression was full of panic at the moment. Fortunately, Mrs. Wei had been distracted by the news about his sister, and did not notice anything wrong with her husband at all. She just looked at him expectantly.
"After that, she got sick, and then she came here." Mr. Wei's lie was stumbling, but Mrs. Wei breathed a sigh of relief while tears kept falling down.
She sobbed and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "I thought Yan Niang had suffered a lot, so she lingered like this. It turns out she missed me."
"No, no, I didn't suffer." Mr. Wei originally felt a little guilty for hiding the truth, but now that he saw his wife crying and laughing at the same time, all that guilt was forgotten.
If Madam really knew that her beloved sister died so miserably, she would be very sad.
Only then did Wei Mingyan come over and said to Mrs. Wei in a warm voice, "Go quickly and prepare some rice, rice wine, and pure sand. Then ask a few servants to accompany you. Go to Dongche Lake in the western suburbs and get them yourself. A bowl of water and come back when it’s ready.”
Mrs. Wei was confused by this series of instructions, but under the confusion, there was also expectation, "Father..."
The old man nodded and confirmed his daughter-in-law's suspicion, "You take these things and I'll let you meet them."
Mrs. Wei almost cried with joy, "Yes, yes, my daughter-in-law will go now. Thank you father."
She was blessed and left the yard in a hurry.
Mr. Wei, who did not even look at Madam, said: "Husband, madam, do you want me to accompany you..."
"You're not going."
The old man glanced at his son with disgust, "Tell me, what did you see?"
Mr. Wei stopped aggrievedly and said to make a long story short, "Princess Liang was imprisoned in the palace. Yan Niang knew that Prince Liang intended to rebel, and she was unwilling to obey the crown prince of Liang, so she was thrown to a place where she had to use She was a daughter-in-law, but Yan Niang was weak and died after a short time. "
"She wants to see Princess Liang again."
"Father, look..."
"As a father, I don't care."
Mr. Wei was stunned. He looked at his father who was still so calm and calm. "Father, what should we do now? You should give us some rules."
"As a father, I don't give it."
Wei Mingyan shook his sleeves and said with a face that it had nothing to do with him, "Now that the matter is clear, let's rest early today."
Mr. Wei couldn't believe that his father could act as if nothing had happened.
"Yes, but it is a big deal that King Liang intends to rebel. Are we just going to pretend that we don't know?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was glanced at mercilessly.
"If you want to take care of it, go out now, turn left and keep going forward."
"Me? But, father, father..."
--boom!
The door is closed.
Mr. Wei stood stiffly, with his hands still stretched out. He suddenly thought that Yan Niang was still in the courtyard, and his back felt cold. Even if he knew that Yan Niang had a pitiful background, she was still a ghost.
He quickly retracted his hand, looked around warily, and exited the yard cautiously.
As they walked, they kept mumbling, "Don't follow me. Don't follow me. Just stay peacefully in my father's yard."
Mr. Wei left the yard, and after much deliberation he decided to go out. He happened to see Mrs. Wei's carriage leaving in a hurry. He looked at it, turned left and walked straight.
On the carriage, Mrs. Wei opened the curtain from time to time to look outside with an anxious expression, but Yan Niang on the side sat obediently, resting her head on her sister's shoulder, her eyes full of satisfaction.
Mr. Wei was still walking on the road. As he walked, he looked around suspiciously from time to time. The image of Yan Niang hanging around his neck in his memory was so shocking that he couldn't help but touch his neck.
After thinking about it, he spoke cautiously, "Mother Yan, if you are here, don't follow me..."
"You are awake and know that I am not an enemy. Even if you want to follow me, don't hang around my neck. It's so uncomfortable. Be good, and my brother-in-law will burn paper money for you."
Just like this, Master Wei walked to the street while tremblingly persuading his sister-in-law not to hang it around his neck.
Looking around, he always felt that this street looked familiar.
Mr. Wei was just thinking about when he was coming, when suddenly there was the sound of a weapon being discharged. The crowd in front of him dispersed and fled for their lives. A young man in rich clothes was protected by two people and retreated in his direction. Come.
This scene seems familiar.
The person being chased in front also looked very familiar.
At this moment, Mr. Wei only had time to think of one sentence: Your Majesty, you were assassinated last time, why are you out for a stroll this time? !
He didn't bring anything with him this time, and the group of people didn't look as easy to pass up as last time.
Master Wei looked around, and when the emperor ran to his side, he gritted his teeth...
Pull him and run away.
While running, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
A scent wafted over the emperor who was being pulled by him. The scent was elegant, with a hint of orchid.
Haha, this smell is also very familiar.
So, assassinating the emperor is not the goal, but taking advantage of the chaos to let the emperor smell his daughter's fragrance is the goal?
Mr. Wei's mind was filled with what his father said, that a person who falls in love with a daughter's fragrance will obey the orders of the first woman who comes into contact with him... The other party arranged a daughter's fragrance, so the first woman who comes into contact with the emperor will definitely be arranged as well. …
Just when I thought of this, a veiled woman fell down on the road ahead. She was leaning on her body and looked over with tears in her beautiful eyes.
It looks pitiful that she has a sprained leg and can't walk, but compare it with the image of the vegetable seller on the side who also has a sprained leg but is climbing forward with a look of horror on her face...
What should I do? How about he go up and kick that woman away first?
While he was struggling, the emperor's legs, which had been running for a long time and were panting, became weak and he stumbled to the ground first.
Before Master Wei could help him, a trembling milk cat was knocked out of the basket on the side and fell into the emperor's hand.
"mum……"
The little nanny screamed uneasily, shrinking and not daring to move.
Master Wei didn't pay attention to it and helped the emperor up. Just as he was about to say, Your Majesty, let's run quickly, he saw the emperor, who had been running for his life with him just now, holding the little kitten in his hands and touching it with affection in his eyes. little head.
"This cat is really pretty."
"I want to take it back to the palace with me, so that it can enjoy all the glory and wealth!"
Mr. Wei: "...Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
We are running for our lives!
Suddenly thinking of something, he turned around with a shocked face and looked under the little milk cat's tail.
It's over.
No eggs…
