The reborn sycophant

The butler got a horse for the first banquet. Considering that she had just returned to Chang'an, she sent two servants to follow her. She didn't want to take it with her at first, but she had to pay a visit to the residences of some good lords during her trip. , if there is no one to hand over the name cards and gifts, she will lose her status, so she still brought people, and found some things that could be sold in the mansion, and led them to run across the long street on horseback.

When she was not the commander of the Northern Army, she often led people to patrol the streets. In the streets near the imperial city, many people had seen her and had rumors about her beauty. Now there is a lot of movement Many people couldn't help but stop what they were doing and looked over. Some people recognized her immediately, and some didn't, but they were reminded by the people next to her. Even some people crowded to the window of the teahouse and restaurant to watch her. ...for a while, the sound of exclamation was endless, and it was very lively.

Wei Chuyan often faced this kind of situation when she was patrolling the streets. After all, the news of her "hidden disease" was only circulated among the high-level officials in Chang'an. The one who recommended the pillow mat—and she was overwhelmed with jealousy for it—later she became the commander, and she no longer needed to patrol the streets, and she was really relieved.Previously, she was sent back to the mansion by the carriage in the palace, which avoided this kind of trouble, but now she couldn't avoid it, so she could only face it calmly.

It was because these people hadn't seen her for a long time that they made such a fuss. After a few days, when the news of her return to Chang'an spread far and wide, they would not be so surprised.

She first went to visit a few adults who had spoken up on this matter, and took a look.Although Tang Tang's incident has not yet reached Dali Temple, these people have their own eyes and ears, and they won't find out until the incident is revealed. It's just that they are too lazy to take care of it. If the Liu family really makes trouble, they will follow the procedure.Otherwise, there are so many officials in Chang'an, there will be frictions with nobles almost every day. Today you robbed my oiran lady, and tomorrow I bumped into you while drunk...even two sedan chairs bumped into each other on the street. There is still a question of who comes first.There are a lot of things like this, if everything has to be managed by these officials—how can they be managed!

After Wei Chuyan asked about the situation, he diverted to the Tang Mansion.Several adults she visited had some conversations about her in the mansion.

"My lord, it has been two years since Wei Chuyan disappeared. According to Daqi's law, I am afraid that her position as the commander of the Northern Army will no longer be guaranteed, and she may even be imprisoned. Why are you still so polite to her?" What's more, this matter is so difficult, and you have been asked for similar things in the past, didn't you just ignore it?" Mrs. Qian's wife of Jing Zhaoyin was very dissatisfied with his behavior of treating Wei Chuyan as a guest of honour, and worried about causing trouble to her upper body. .

"You don't understand, do you? This Wei Chuyan has meritorious deeds. It is true that she disappeared for two years, but His Majesty has never paid attention to those who participated in her 'absence of leave'. Besides, His Majesty has been Is it not clear what the intention is to leave the position of commander of the Northern Army vacant?" Lord Qian took a sip of strong tea, under his bushy eyebrows was a pair of shrewd and sophisticated eyes: "Madam, I told you earlier, don't always Go and listen to the words of the other wife, Mr. Lang, those gossips are somewhat true!"

Madam Qian snorted and said, "But what they said wasn't all false. At least they made me not rashly betroth Yan'er to Wei Chuyan. Otherwise, what kind of life would our Yan'er live!"

"It's still a marriage, you can save yourself, Commander Wei has never met our Yan'er, let alone expressed his willingness to marry us. You yourself have taken a fancy to her at the palace banquet earlier, and you want her and Yan'er to join us. A pair, and later it was canceled because of her hidden disease, now you are blaming her?"

Lord Qian shook his head, thinking of something, and asked again: "Madam, our Xiaoling..."

Madam Qian immediately understood what was going on in his head, and said with a straight face: "You don't want to plot against our Xiaoling! Even though Wei Chuyan is very good, she is not in good health. Based on this, don't you I want to let Xiaoling marry him."

"Short-sighted! Did you know that the Empress Dowager has been away from the palace for two years?"

"Two years? Didn't the Empress Dowager leave the palace a year and a half ago to recuperate because she has been depressed since the collapse of the mountain?"

"You! That's why I say you are short-sighted! Can I tell you the exact whereabouts of the Empress Dowager? Besides, it was two years ago that the imperial physician was summoned frequently in the palace. In my opinion, His Majesty must have sent the Empress Dowager safely to the palace. , only to tell the matter to the outside world. Think about it, ma'am, Commander Wei 'disappeared' two years ago, and the Queen Mother also left the palace at that time, can't you see such a strange thing?"

"You mean the Queen Mother who was escorted by her?"

"Hey! Yes! She has made great contributions to escorting the Empress Dowager to cure her illness and guarding her safety. I think His Majesty will add an official to the Commander of the Guard in a short time. She is still so young, not even twenty. With the great achievements of those few, I am afraid that I will become the youngest Marquis."

"My lord, you are confused. The youngest Marquis should be the little Marquis of Dingbei Hou's family."

"She is Xijue, the protection of her ancestors. Can she be compared with Wei Chuyan, who is in full swing? Madam, let me tell you, it is not too late for us to get married with Wei Chuyan. There is a place for me, Jing Zhaoyin, to be busy with the family affairs. If I want to talk at this time, she should care about it. But if it is a few days later, let alone what is going on in the Weifu, do you think that when she When we return to court, His Majesty rewards her generously, will such a good thing come to our turn?"

"But her body..."

"It's not good if you are not in good health. We are not the only child in Xiaoling. He is also sensitive and slender. I am afraid it will be difficult to judge the internal affairs. Like Wei Chuyan, although we can't do anything to him, we can't do anything to others either. , the house is very quiet, isn't it a good thing?" Mr. Qian was determined to board this sailing ship, and he patiently persuaded his wife.

General Tang is not in the mansion.The situation of such a large family is also very complicated. Some of them were looking forward to Tang Tang's fall. Seeing that there was another stranger in the house, they sent a servant to sneak around to look. During the conversation, he threw a piece of silver barley over, which swollen his face. This time, he calmed down a bit.

Tang Tang is the first daughter of the Tang family, and also the daughter of the eldest lady.Wei Chuyan observed carefully, Mrs. Tang's eyebrows and eyes are a little more flat, Tang Tang doesn't look like her very much, I think she followed her father, but her mother's looks are familiar, but I don't know if she met this lady in a previous life or what .

She can't remember clearly, and it has been nearly ten years since she was reborn. The memory of her previous life has gradually faded, like cooking smoke dissipating in the wind. Even if she wanted to catch it, it would not be that simple.

"Master Wei, this child Tang'er usually practiced with the boys in the army, and she is used to being heavy-handed, and Liu Miaomiao has such a fragile body, it's not that Tang'er deliberately wanted her to die .”

What happened to Tang Tang made this lady look very haggard, but she seemed to be very calm. Although her eyes were still red, she concealed it well in front of people, and she had a sense of determination.

Wei Chuyan put down the teacup, and said affirmatively: "I also know that Miss Tang made an unintentional mistake, besides, the Liu family killed the fetus in Tang Simei's house, Tangmei just beat her, and the body surnamed Liu couldn't bear it, could it be Can they turn black and white and blame Tang Mei for everything?"

Mrs. Tang nodded repeatedly. She was wearing a dark green curvy skirt, which was a fashionable style for ladies. When she moved, she was not as desperate as she was just now.Seeing Wei Chuyan, he was relieved.

When a child commits a crime, the adults in the family must not fall down, otherwise it will be really difficult.

"But Tang'er is not without fault. I told her earlier

Many times, don't always fight with people outside, I shouldn't tell her about her sister! I should have taken her back and raised her well, and waited for the Liu family to come to apologize! She made such a fuss, In-laws have become enemies, what is reasonable has become unreasonable, Mr. Wei, how can you not worry about this? "

"The top priority is to press the Liu family down, otherwise they will go to Dali Temple. After all, Tang Mei killed someone. Even if the other party made a mistake first, she didn't do it on purpose, but Liu Miaomiao is dead. The Liu family has that right now. The child in the outer room is hanging, not crazy yet, but still biting."

"Lord Wei, Master Wei and his wife have been running around for our little daughter these past few days. I have seen the hard work here and feel ashamed. I am not as good to her as Tang'er's godfather and godmother. Now I'm really sorry that I'm tired of you coming to trouble Tang'er again."

Her words were sincere, and there were tears in her eyes, but Wei Chuyan was unmoved.

This incident was caused by Tang Mei herself, and the Tang family has not done its best, and she will not let people pass the hurdle without having to bear anything.Young people are high-spirited and angry, but Tangtang hit someone in the street is the first mistake, and beating someone to death by mistake is the second mistake. As the eldest daughter of the Tang family, she doesn't know how to use her status to persuade the Tang family to protect her, is it true? The third mistake is to make parents worry about being a child, and even implicate the relatives to run around begging for help, which is the fourth mistake.

She wanted to frustrate Tang Tang's spirit. Kuang Tangtang was very suitable for the military camp, and she would need the support of the military in the future. After exploring for a day, she already had a charter for how to deal with this reckless younger sister.

Just as they were discussing, a young servant from the Tang family hurried over. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground, his lips were trembling, and he didn't speak a complete sentence for a long time.

Mrs. Tang ordered someone to give him a glass of water, and he drank it all at once, then straightened his tongue: "Master, Mrs. Tang, it's not good! There's news from Liu's residence that Liu Miaomiao's outer room just had a slippery tire. , it was pushed by our fourth lady, now the Liu residence is in chaos, and Mr. Liu doesn’t care about it, so he went to Dali Temple after leaving the house.”

Mrs. Tang was shocked: "Then why don't you stop him!"

"That's an official of the imperial court, how dare you stop me? Isn't this just rushing back with you to report?"

The young man said it, and Mrs. Tang felt that she had lost her word. How could an official's sedan chair be so easy to stop?She is really confused!

Wei Chuyan was the only sober person in the room: "Where's Tang Tang? Let her come out. The servant has come back, so estimate the distance. At this moment, Mr. Liu has arrived at Dali Temple. I'm afraid someone will come to arrest Tang Tang in a few minutes." It's too late."

Mrs. Tang fell back on the carved hardwood chair, her face ashen ashes said: "I'm restrained by the general, I haven't been in water or rice for several days... But, hey." She looked at the fat girl standing quietly beside her: " Fu'er, you go to the housekeeper to get the key, and bring the lady here... At this time, what are you doing with her locked up?"

Tang Tang obviously didn't know her current situation when someone came over, she immediately showed joy when she saw Wei Chuyan, and called "Sister Wei", Wei Chuyan responded coldly, Tang Tang was just happy For a moment, he thought of the mistakes he had made, and immediately lowered his head, letting her mother grab her and scold her, without even a word of excuse.

Mrs. Tang scolded a few words, and then told her about the current situation with red eyes, Tang Tang listened and said: "I was already prepared to go to prison, but I didn't expect that her concubine's child was gone... Sister She... Forget it, mother, you should send someone to the Liu Manor to bring her back. If the Liu Manor hadn't held her back, we would have brought her back already, and perhaps such a thing would not have happened. "

Mrs. Tang slapped the table with her palm, causing the tea to shake: "How could it be that easy? Your sister took two lives from the Liu family, how could the Liu family let her come back?"

"But sister—"

Before Tang Tang finished speaking, a group of people in official robes with shackles rushed in, calling out the word "Tang Tang".

Seeing that time was running out, Wei Chuyan grabbed Tang Tang and whispered something in her ear, then told Mrs. Tang not to worry, put on the cap of the cloak, and left in a low-key manner before those people searched over.

Wei Chuyan returned to the mansion, there were already people waiting outside the mansion, and one of them ran inside when he saw her, probably to report the news, Wei Chuyan walked into the mansion quickly, and met the person who found her on the way Dad, talked to him a few words, and then talked about Tang Tang's matter, and told him his plan.

She remembered that her father often liked to read some military books, and Yue Mo did not object to sending Tang Tang to the frontier army, but her father objected.
