Beautiful step by step

Chapter 168

For Yan Heng, Yang Shangshu is not really powerless.Who can get into the high position of Liubu Shangshu doesn't have two brushes, but he is a thick-skinned Zhenbeihou. Although it is a bit tricky to deal with, it is not helpless when it is serious.

The key is whether the current situation is worth his trouble.

Yang Shangshu had a steelyard in his heart, and after a little weighing, he found that it was not worth it.All of this is also in Chu Ying's expectation. Although it sounds like she has lived in seclusion for more than ten years, but Chu Ying is not a fool and she is not a person with a weak temper. How could she really keep her ears shut.Hiding in the dark for these years, he has a better understanding of the situation in Beijing and China than Yang Shangshu.

It is this thoroughness that makes him confident that Yang Shangshu will block the release of Yan Heng, but he will not really make a big effort.Based on this knowledge, he unscrupulously cluttered up and asked people directly with an absolutely arrogant attitude.

Half of this arrogance comes from nature, and the other half has some deliberate elements in it.After obtaining consent from the old lady early in the morning, the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for more than ten years were completely released. Instead of fading in the slightest, his feelings for Qing Niang have become more intense and pure due to the long-term suppression.He couldn't help but want to marry Qingniang back, stay with her day and night, and make up for the time he owed all these years.

The more urgent the heart is, the more annoying the obstruction of reality becomes.Under the anxiety, Chu Ying lost her mind a little. He let his male instinct dominate and showed his mighty strength in every possible place.

Wei Wei, as her own daughter, naturally became the beneficiary.

After asking the person who abused private behavior, before he could ask any further questions, Yang Shangshu, who was restless, walked to the north wall of the hall in two steps, opened the curtain and disappeared into the depths of the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, leaving only the officials of the Ministry of Punishment to see off the guests.

The official in the blue robe is just an errand runner, and his status is not enough to know some secrets.Asking is a waste of time, the purpose of Zuo Zuo's visit today has been achieved, before the former sees off the guests, Chu Ying patted her sleeves to say goodbye first, and led the three of them out of the official office of the Ministry of Punishment.

When the two came, the horse was still tied outside the government office, and now it was stretching its neck to gnaw on the sparse wisps of dry grass under the wall of the office.Seeing the master coming, Chu Ying's black horse raised its front hooves and let out a breath.It will be freezing cold, and the horse's mouth will turn into white smoke as soon as it exhales.

Standing in front of the horse, Yan Heng clasped his fists and bowed slightly: "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your generous help with today's matter."

After taking the rein, Chu Ying looked indifferent: "It's just a little effort, and besides..."

Turning his head to look at Wei Wei, his expression became a little more solemn: "The Hou family owed a lot to the mother and daughter of the old man before, and this is a small compensation."

These words are too polite, I don't know if it is her illusion, Wei Wei always feels that Chu Ying's attitude towards her is a bit wrong.

"Master Hou is serious. Our mother and I used to be servants of the Hou Mansion. My mother often said that the Hou Mansion was benevolent and righteous. It was thanks to the Hou Mansion for taking care of us when it was the most difficult time. The old majesty has taken good care of us these years. Although there was a misunderstanding later on. , but if we say it is a debt, we still owe the Hou Mansion in real terms."

Chu Ying knew very well what those difficulties were. In fact, Mrs. Wei kept finding fault because of him.If he hadn't moved his mind on Qing Niang back then and insisted on marrying her as the wife of the eldest son regardless of her status, Qing Niang would not have married herself in a hurry.Later, he was even more disconcerted, and took Wei Bang to the battlefield in a critical moment in the northwest. He lost his life in the chaos of the army, and then Mrs. Wei, who lost her son, persecuted Qing Niang many times.

In the final analysis, it was because of him. With a sigh in his heart, he saw Yan Heng took off his fur, opened his arms and surrounded Ah Mao in his arms again, whispering something while surrounding, the tenderness on his face almost turned into substance.

This is Qing Niang who chose a husband for Ah Mao, she has always had a good eye for people.Back then, if he hadn't been in such a hurry, Qingniang would not have picked out Wei Bang, who was almost useless except for being honest and obedient.

Thinking of this, the guilt in his heart deepened, and then he touched Ah Mao's words just now, and heard her talk about all kinds of good things about the Hou Mansion, Chu Ying's heart was quite complicated.There are regrets and self-blame among the strong emotions, but the mainstream is moved.This is the Qingniang he is looking for, she really has advantages in her whole body besides her background.

"It's all in the past. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, it's not easy for Ah Mao to go back to the capital, so I can spend more time with the Hou Mansion."

Earlier, Wei Wei was a little pissed about the Hou's residence, but after seeing such a straightforward Zhenbeihou, especially after he helped Yan Heng get out of the prison of the Ministry of Justice, the grievances in her heart had already melted away.It is true that there are some things that she hates in Zhenbeihou Mansion, but there are so many perfect things in life.Since he chose to work hard with Yan Heng in the officialdom and enjoy all the benefits brought by power, he had to devote himself wholeheartedly, and at least some interpersonal relationships had to be maintained.

The Zhenbei Hou Mansion is a very good relationship. With the current status of the two, it is a bit high to be able to catch up with the Hou Mansion.Now that Mrs. Feng and Chu Ying are both interested, it would be too ignorant for her to take Qiao again.

Thinking of this, Wei Wei raised a smile, nodded and said: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient, the only thing is, when the time comes, Lord Hou, don't think we are annoying."

Keenly aware of Yan Heng's changing mood, Wei Wei hastily tugged at his sleeve and added the last sentence.

Chu Ying got on her horse and said heartily: "I like to associate with open-minded people. Yan Heng is in charge of the military in the northwest, and there are many files accumulated over the years in the Hou's mansion. Let's have a chat sometime."

After hugging Wei Wei onto the horse, handing over the reins and watching her sit firmly, Yan Heng nimbly turned over and got up together.After pulling off the fur fur that was wrapped around Ah Mao's body just now, he pulled it over his shoulders and threw it behind him, so that a closed and safe area was formed between the fur fur and his chest.

After doing all this, he had time to reply to Chu Ying.

"Then I will first thank Master Hou for his advice."

On the way back to the Marquis Mansion, the horse galloped, the wind whistled past his ears, and Wei Wei leaned on Yan Heng's chest, feeling all kinds of peace of mind.I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but she is also good at equestrian skills. It is easy to ride a horse on the flat road in Beijing. It stands to reason that the two of them should feel about the same when riding a horse, but this time she feels that Yan Heng's equestrian skills are too good. secure.

"Is it?"

"Well, my horsemanship was taught by Ah Heng, did you deliberately hide it?"

After a day of tension, she relaxed and leaned against Yan Heng's arms. Now she was finally in the mood to laugh.

"Ah Mao found out."

"It's so obvious, why can't you see it, tell me, how much real ability you have hidden."

"I don't hide much, so-so, it's enough to teach Ah Mao for a while."

"For a while, about how long."

"Let me think about it." After a pause, Yan Heng clung to her ear and whispered three words.

Hearing these three words, Wei Wei couldn't stop feeling warm in his heart.For the rest of her life, Ah Heng will teach her for the rest of her life, and will also be by her side for the rest of her life.

"I hope you will do what you say."

Holding the rein with one hand, Yan Heng stroked her belly with the other hand, and said softly, "Not only for Ah Mao, but also for our children, no matter what happens to me, Ah Mao has been worrying for the past two days." , Now that I have come out safely, you can put your heart back in your stomach, and I will be taller than you when the sky falls."

He got to the point completely, Wei Wei's nose was a little sore, his breath was all around him, a sense of security came over him, and he felt at ease unconsciously.

When the three stopped in front of the mansion, she had completely calmed down.Chu Ying, who had been running in front of the two of them, turned her head and looked a little embarrassed before Yan Heng carried her off the horse.

"Ah, when you come to the Hou Mansion in the future, you will also bring Qingniang with you."

Qingniang... Oh, this is Wei's mother's name.Wei Wei was a little puzzled, not to mention that she lost her previous memory, even if her memory was intact, Kendi would still call Shangwei's mother when she came to visit the Hou Mansion, how much do I need to tell her about this?Going over what he said just now in her mind, she found many doubts after thinking about it carefully.

First of all, it was the timing of Chuying's speech. Since he wanted to call Wei's mother, why didn't he mention it in front of the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.And his demeanor just now, it seems that he mustered up a lot of courage to say this sentence.Then there was the overall meaning of his words, originally he was inviting her to come to the Hou's mansion, but now she always felt that she was the foil, and Wei's mother was the protagonist.The last is the title, "Young Niang" and so on, revealing a little intimacy invisibly.

what's the problem?Could it be that Chuying is interested in Wei's mother?
Wei Wei was terrified by his own thought.

But when she thought of the son's deep feelings for her that almost drove Wu's crazy, she felt that it was not difficult to understand.

People in the world value family status, not only the brand name of Gaomen Huafu, but also the upbringing and knowledge gained from being born in a wealthy family.The aristocratic family has more resources. Children wear silk and satin from birth, eat delicacies from mountains and seas, and provide them with delicious food and drink. They will not be hungry when they are cold. The people who grow up like this are naturally thinner than those who go to the fields of the poor. The skin is tender and the meat is tender.Not only on the outside, but born in a wealthy family, since childhood, I have seen the elders of the family entertain people of the same level. Various banquets are daily life. People who grow up like this, even if they do not have the talent for interpersonal communication, practice makes perfect with time.

But there are always exceptions to everything, rich and powerful families also have incompetent playboys, and poor families have even more talented and intelligent people.Mother Wei belongs to the latter group. Although she doesn't have a good background, she is no worse than the wives she has seen in all aspects.She has all the abilities that those people have, but those people may not have her beauty.It is reasonable for Chu Ying to be tempted by such an excellent mother Wei.

As a daughter, she is proud to have such a perfect mother.

"My mother has always missed the old lady, and has always wanted to walk around more with the old lady. It's just that it's not convenient for her to come here due to some previous matters. Now it's all right. Mother must be very happy to have Lord Hou's words."

Will Qing Niang really be happy?Thinking of this possibility, Chu Ying couldn't help jumping with joy.

He had always been pleasing to Wei Wei, so now he wants to help her more.While leading the two of them to the old lady's courtyard, he talked about what he had learned about the Green Fire Guard.
