Chapter 1312: First Meeting
When Wei Gongziyu secretly observed Zhao Hongrun's cousin, Zhao Hongrun also looked at the former's cousin quietly, and the two cousins sat opposite each other for a while, but neither of them took the lead in speaking, which made the atmosphere in the pavilion a little light.
This was not Zhao Hongrun's original intention, so he took the lead in greeting: "Cousin, I don't know how my aunt has been in good health recently?" ”
Hearing this, Wei Yu arched his hand and replied: "Tuorun Gongzi Jiyan, my mother's body is healthy. ”
On the side, Qi'er and Wei Jiao glanced at Wei Yu with some surprise: Obviously, their Royal Highness had put down his posture and took the initiative to show favor, but this Wei Gongzi Yu did not have the slightest intention of clinging to his relatives, which can be seen that this is a shy person with a strong self-esteem.
Zhao Hongrun also noticed it, and noticed the seemingly modest and polite attitude of the cousin in front of him, but in fact he was intentionally or unintentionally alienated.
However, he was not surprised by this, after all, although they were cousins, they had never met each other since they were born, so it was normal for them not to be familiar. On the contrary, if this cousin clings to him as soon as he comes up, then he will feel awkward.
However, this atmosphere also made the small talk between the cousins particularly dull, which is no wonder, after all, there are many sensitive topics that Zhao Hongrun and Wei Yu do not want to take the initiative to mention - for example, during the last war, Wei Guo was invaded by the army led by the Han general Sima Shang.
And this makes it very rare for the cousins to talk about very few topics.
Suddenly, Zhao Hongrun seemed to think of something and asked, "I heard that the title of "Marquis Xue Ling" was inherited by a foreign family?" ”
"Outsiders? Are you referring to the current "Xue Ling Hou Wei Yan"? Wei Yu chuckled lightly and said with a little emotion: "It was many years ago. ”
The "Xue Ling Marquis" in the cousins' mouths refers to their maternal grandfather, the "Xue Ling Marquis Wei Shuo" of the Wei Guo.
This old man gave birth to a pair of daughters who were well-known in Wei Guo, the eldest daughter is now the queen of Wei Wang, known as "David Ji", and is the biological mother of Wei Gongzi Yu; And the youngest daughter is Zhao Hongrun's biological mother Wei Ji. "Note: Ji here is not a name, but a woman of status."
But unfortunately, Xue Ling Hou Wei Shuo did not have an heir, so this old man once inherited an adopted son from the same sect, which is now "Xue Ling Hou Wei Yan".
Zhao Hongrun's biological mother Xiao Wei Ji will not mention it, after all, the latter died of dystocia when Zhao Hongrun was born, and David Ji, that is, Wei Gongziyu's biological mother, his relationship with Wei Yan is not harmonious.
"It's mainly Wei Yan...... Well, after inheriting his grandfather's title, he still had too close contacts with the family he was born into. Wei Yu explained to Zhao Hongrun.
In this era, "succession" is exquisite, take Wei Yan as an example, he was born in "Pingyi Wei", and is the third son of "Pingyi Hou Weiyan", but after succeeding to "Xue Ling Wei" and becoming the son of "Xue Ling Hou Weishuo", even if Wei Yan later met the biological father of "Pingyi Hou Wei Yan", he could not be called "father", he could only call uncle, and the father and son were actually already considered to be from two families.
On the one hand, he inherited the title and family property of "Xue Ling Hou Wei Shuo", but on the other hand, he was still worried about returning to the genealogy of "Pingyi Wei Clan", which made David Ji, the eldest daughter of "Xue Ling Hou Wei Shuo", very dissatisfied - she even had some doubts that Wei Yan had inherited her "Xue Ling Wei Clan" in the first place, whether it was a conspiracy to steal her "Xue Ling Wei Clan".
However, recently, Wei Yan has been honest, because after the Han general Sima Shang invaded the territory of Wei Guo from Fanyang, the first one to fight was "Dunqiu", and the second one was "Pingyi".
For this reason, many people died in the Wei clan of Pingyi, and "Hou Weiyan of Pingyi" was also captured by the Han general Sima Shangsheng and hanged on the tower of Pingyi.
Of course, in the follow-up attack of the Han general Sima Shang on the eastern part of the country, "Xue Ling" was also tragically captured by the Han army, but Wei Yan had already fled, and although he lost a lot of family property, the family was safe.
In desperation, "Xue Ling Hou Wei Yan" defected to his sister-in-law, Wei Yu's biological mother, David Ji, and begged the latter to support him in rebuilding the family business, so he is quite honest for now.
"Xue Ling...... Was it captured by the South Korean army? Zhao Hongrun asked with a slight sigh.
Although he had never been in Xue Ling, the country, this county was also the place where his biological mother once lived, so he had some different feelings in his heart.
"Hmm." Wei Yu nodded, and then said with relief: "I went to Xue Ling to see, Han General Sima Shang, well, he is still a general of the strict army, and he did not embarrass the civilians in the city, but the nobles in the city suffered, and their family property was looted by the Han army, not to mention, and they lost their lives...... By the way, I heard that Sima Shang has been officially elected as one of the "Ten Heroes of the Northern Plains". ”
Zhao Hongrun is not surprised that Sima Shang has become the "Ten Heroes of the Northern Plains", after all, the "Acting County Shouju Xin" in the "Ten Heroes of the Northern Plains" was ordered to be executed by him after being captured by Wu Jisheng, the general of the Shang Water Army, plus the "Former Shangdang Shou Feng Ting" who had surrendered to Wei, there were two vacancies in the Ten Heroes of the Northern Plains at once, and they would naturally choose excellent generals to replace them.
Choosing Sima Shang, a well-known general in South Korea, to replace the Beiyuan Shihao, Zhao Hongrun was not surprised.
In contrast, he was more curious that the other vacant spot would be taken over by the Korean general.
After chatting with Wei Yu for a while, the two cousins gradually became acquainted, but Wei Yu still did not mean to call Zhao Hongrun a brother and a brother, obviously a little jealous of Zhao Hongrun's cousin's status and power in the Wei State, but compared to the first time they met, the atmosphere was obviously much more harmonious.
"This time my cousin came to my beam, you might as well take the opportunity to visit my beam." As he spoke, Zhao Hongrun seemed to think of something, subconsciously glanced at the carriage that Wei Yu was riding, and asked casually: "Cousin came this time, did you ...... Hey? ”
As soon as he said half a sentence, he suddenly saw the window of Wei Yu's carriage, and two cute little guys were looking at them with their heads probed.
Noticing Zhao Hongrun's expression, Wei Yu turned his head to take a look, and then a little wry smile appeared on his face, and he arched his hand and said, "The child is rude, let Run Gongzi laugh." ”
Of course, Zhao Hongrun wouldn't mind, and asked with a smile: "Could it be my cousin's child?" ”
Wei Yu nodded, and then explained to Zhao Hongrun that the two little guys were twins born to the same mother, the boy was called Wei Yun, and the girl's nickname was Ning Ning, both of whom were born to his wife.
"Come here? There is good food here. Zhao Hongrun picked up a dried plum from the plate on the stone table and tempted the two little guys.
Unexpectedly, the two little guys seemed to be surprised, and lowered the curtains suddenly, and there was no more movement.
A female voice in the carriage could be faintly heard, as if she was whispering a reprimand.
"Cousin, you and your sister-in-law's tutoring is too strict, right?" After saying a word to Wei Yu, Zhao Hongrun turned to Que'er and said, "Que'er, you take some food into the carriage and relieve the hunger of those two little guys." ”
Que'er nodded, picked up a plate of dried plums and walked to the carriage, Wei Yu didn't have time to refuse, so he had to smile bitterly and shake his head.
However, he gradually realized that the cousin in front of him really put down his shelf and wanted to be friendly with him, probably because their mothers were sisters.
And this made his mood a little complicated.
A moment later, the cheers of the two little ones could be heard from inside the carriage, and the helpless dissuasion of a woman.
Immediately, a dignified and virtuous woman stepped down from the carriage, and seeing this, Zhao Hongrun immediately got up and took the initiative to salute, because he guessed that this woman was most likely his cousin Wei Yu's main wife.
"Little brother Zhao Run, I've seen my cousin."
The woman glanced at her husband in some surprise, and then Ying Ying bowed and said, "The concubine guards the Chen family, and I have seen my uncle." ”
"My cousin is very polite." Zhao Hongrun raised his hand to invite the cousin's wife to take a seat, and after asking her husband with his eyes, the latter thanked him and sat down at the stone table.
It didn't take long for Que'er to take a little guy out of the carriage and come to the pavilion, only to see the two little guys who were only half a head taller than the stone table, standing around the stone table and tiptoeing to look at the dried fruits on the plate on the table, Wei Yu and his wife were certainly very embarrassed, but Zhao Hongrun was so happy how to look at it, and laughed and teased the two little guys with food.
Seeing this, Wei Yu asked curiously: "Hasn't Run Gongzi's wife been raised yet?" ”
"Cousin, if you are so polite again, I am really going to be angry." Zhao Hongrun deliberately said with a straight face.
Wei Yu shook his head, so he had to change his name to "Virtuous Brother" and asked again.
After listening to Wei Yu's inquiry, Zhao Hongrun didn't know what to answer.
Actually, whether it is him or his female dependents, including the two little ones who are teasing the two little ones at the moment, they actually like children, but Zhao Hongrun has always been a little resistant and uneasy about becoming a father at a young age.
"Sometimes, I still feel like a child, and I really don't have much faith to teach my children." Zhao Hongrun said with a wry smile.
Hearing this, Wei Yu's face was full of surprise.
Thinking about it, he never thought that Wei Gongzirun, who fought in the south and the north and had great achievements, would say such a thing.
However, for Zhao Hongrun's words, Zong Wei Changwei nodded secretly.
Only those closest to Zhao Hongrun will understand that this Highness may be domineering and strong outside, but sometimes, he is indeed still a little childish.
But no matter how much he has no confidence to teach his children, Zhao Hongrun can't drag it out anymore, firstly, Concubine Shen Shufei can't pass the pass, and secondly, Miss Su is getting older and older, he can afford to drag it, but Miss Su can't afford it.
The group sat in Shili Pavilion and chatted for a while, and then Zhao Hongrun invited his cousin Wei Yu's family to Daliang to have dinner in his Su Wang's Mansion, and the right to pick up the wind for the latter's family.
For Zhao Hongrun's kind invitation, Wei Yu could not refuse, but could only thank him with emotion.
On the way to Daliang in the two carriages, Wei Yu's wife, Wei Chen, said happily to her husband in the carriage: "My cousin, Fujun, seems to value his relatives, so my family can rely on them in Daliang." ”
Wei Yu smiled and nodded, but his mood was a little complicated.
