After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Before Wei Zi could finish her glass of fruit wine, Xiao Fengxian knocked on the door of the private room.

Zhou Jing ordered the maid to open the door and said with great interest: "Today's show is really exciting. It's difficult for Master Xiao to recruit that naughty woman. I'm afraid Wei Feishan will suffer a lot next."

Xiao Fengxian smiled with her thin lips and stared at Wei Zi: "Are you satisfied?"

Wei Zi smiled without saying a word and took the tortoiseshell cat: "Isn't this the cat with a beautiful face? Why is it here with you?"

This cat knew Wei Zi, and as soon as it came into her arms, it curled up comfortably and purred.

Xiao Fengxian said: "It can understand human speech and is good at attacking people. Hua Yannong lent it to me temporarily."

"What did you borrow it for?" Wei Zi was curious and placed the dishes and chopsticks for him out of habit.

Xiao Fengxian paused before replying: "I will be going to the border to fight in the next period of time. Hua Yannong thinks this cat can play an unexpected role on the battlefield."

Zhou Jing raised her eyebrows: "I heard from my grandfather and the emperor that there was another war on the northern border. The Yan army went south to harass from time to time. My father has decided to send my grandfather and the emperor to conquer. Could it be that you, Mr. Xiao, want to go with us?"

"Exactly."

Zhou Jing thought of Xiao Fengxian's grace and tricks on the warship during the winter hunt last year, and couldn't help but smile: "That's fine, I always think that the battlefield is far more suitable for Mr. Xiao than the court."

Wei Zi was not as happy as Zhou Jing.

She frowned slightly: "You want to go to war? The battlefield is so dangerous..."

The girl's bright face was full of worry.

Xiao Fengxian liked her emotions very much.

He drank a glass of wine and said, "I have nothing to do in Beijing. I am just wasting my time by staying here. There is no faster way to get promoted than going to the frontier to accumulate military merit. Furthermore, ordinary men are brave enough to go to the frontier to defend their country and conquer the battlefield. I How can it be an exception? If you are worried about me, you must know that ordinary women will also worry about their husbands——"

He stopped talking suddenly.

These words are a bit ambiguous, as if he is Xiao Zi's husband.

Fortunately, there were no outsiders in the private room, and Zhou Jing would never betray him and Xiao Zi.

Wei Zi couldn't care about these details.

She suddenly remembered that Xiao Fengxian's father was once the invincible God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

She stared at Xiao Fengxian complicatedly. The man was dressed in dark clothes and had a handsome and profound appearance.

I don't know when, but he has grown into a real man.

He also has to go to the battlefield...

Seeing that Wei Zi's expression was wrong, Zhou Jing coughed slightly and took the initiative to leave the table to make room for the two of them.

Wei Zi worriedly said: "Your father died on the northern border. I'm really afraid of you too... I don't want to say depressing words, but you suddenly told me that you were going to the battlefield. How could I accept it? You, you are on The capital has always been filled with civil servants..."

Xiao Fengxian rubbed her head: "Don't you know what I am capable of? I will be fine. The emperor is suspicious and always suspects that several princes want to usurp the throne. Zhou Xianfeng is already good at both civil and military affairs, and with his appearance Zu Nai was the Grand Master of the dynasty when he held the power, so the Emperor couldn't trust him even more. I am now the Emperor's confidant, and during this Northern Expedition, he also wanted me to keep an eye on Zhou Xianfeng."

Wei Zi said: "Then when will you come back?"

"We will set off for the expedition in three days. As for the return of our troops to the court, it will take half a year at the earliest and two years at the earliest. Don't worry, I have asked Hua Yannong to take care of you for me. Plus Zhou Xianji is not a fool. You can expect that during my absence. , you should be fine."

Wei Zi's eyebrows still couldn't relax.

She was obviously half a year older than Xiao Fengxian, but he always took care of her, as if she was a child who didn't understand anything.

She couldn't do anything for him, so she could only hold his hand tightly: "Then you...then you must come back safely..." After Xiao Fengxian, Zhou Xianfeng and others left Beijing, Wei Zi still stayed in Jibeigong , occasionally going to the cold palace to visit Zhou Xianyuan.

Wei Feishan's life was not so happy.

She returned to Niujia Village and looked at the low thatched houses in disbelief.

There were chicken and duck feces everywhere in front of the door, and the smell of cow and pig pens made her nauseous.

She did not have a separate boudoir, so she could only share a bed with her third and fourth sisters who were not yet married.

Every day before dawn, Mrs. Niu would wake her up and ask her to feed the chickens, ducks and pigs.

It was finally time for breakfast, but she only saw a bowl of white rice porridge with pickles. Finally, she saw Mrs. Niu bringing some fried eggs. As soon as she stretched out her chopsticks, Mrs. Niu slapped her away.

Mrs. Niu scolded: "Is this for you?! You lose money, do you deserve to eat eggs?!"

After saying that, he distributed the fried eggs to the two so-called younger brothers.

Wei Feishan's face was ashen, but he had no choice but to endure.

As long as she survives this half month, she can return to her mother.

The idea of ​​going back to live a wealthy life gradually took root in her heart, supporting her through her days here like an obsession.

She did all the farm work, such as starching and washing clothes, cutting firewood and weeding, and planting rice in the fields.

It had only been five days, but her originally delicate hands were covered with calluses and rough. There was no rouge or gouache. Her carefully maintained face had become dark and ugly due to exposure to wind and sun. She didn't even dare to look into the bronze mirror. Take a look.

Before going to bed every night, the third sister and the fourth sister would whisper about interesting things in the village.

But she covered her ears and was unwilling to participate in the discussion or listen to what they had to say.

It seems that after listening to a few words, you will completely integrate into this poor village.

But she still wants to return to Xue Ziyu...

She wants to continue to be the rich daughter of the Zhenguo government...

She is Wei Feishan, she is not Niu Cuihua...

She will return to Shangjing again. She has not trampled Wei Zi under her feet. How could she fall in a ghost place like Niujiacun? !
The girl gave herself hints and hypnosis over and over again until she entered a dark dream with full hope.

But such hope was destroyed by Mrs. Niu on the tenth day.

Wei Feishan came back from outside with firewood in his arms. As soon as he entered the door, he saw many people coming to the house.

The leader's wife had a dark and ugly mole on her face. When she saw her coming back, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed her with a smile: "Is this Cuihua? As expected, she was raised in a high official's home. She is indeed two years older than her." My sister is born beautiful."

Mrs. Niu said diligently: "Not only is she beautiful, but she can also read and write! I heard that children born to women who have read will be smarter. After our two families exchange marriages, she will definitely give birth to a literary star in your family! In the future, the exam will be held If you get the top prize, your family will be able to enjoy the blessings!"

The woman smiled from ear to ear, glanced over Wei Feishan's body, and said critically: "I'm just a little thinner, I'm afraid I won't be able to give birth to a son."

Wei Feishan keenly captured the "marriage exchange" mentioned by Mrs. Niu.

She glanced at her so-called brother. He was already dead, but he still looked like a fool. He only smiled and drooled.

She had a bad feeling in her heart: "What about the marriage exchange?"
