Wei Feng was over thirty years old and had a beard. He looked very majestic, but his eyes were very gentle. When he saw Wei Ba, his nose felt sour and he almost shed tears.
"Brother, what's going on? Why are you acting like a child?"
Wei Feng wiped the corners of his eyes in embarrassment: "Oh, it's nothing. When I saw these children, I suddenly thought of my father. If he were still here, it would be great to see so many grandchildren."
Wei Ba was silent for a moment, then turned to Mrs. Xi and said, "Sister-in-law, how can you control my brother in such a weak way, that he is so sad for spring and autumn?"
Mrs. Xi couldn't help but laugh: "How can such a thing happen? Ask him himself whether I have ever cared about him. He is free. Later, when your brother goes out for a run on horseback, he will be happy."
Wei Ba smiled and shook his head: "It seems that being rich as a young man is indeed not a good thing. At this age, it is better to work hard outside. Being a rich man at home can easily make people depressed."
Wei Feng's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to speak, Wei Ba said again: "However, what I said is still valid, you have to hurry up. If you really want to travel early, then you must have your mother's consent. She is willing
I have no objection to letting you go on an expedition."
Wei Feng's smile faded as soon as it appeared, feeling a little frustrated.
The adults have many thoughts, but the children don't have so many ideas. They have been playing together for a long time. Wei Feng's son Wei An is five years old, about the same age as Wei Ba's children. It is rare to have so many playmates in normal times. At this moment
He was so happy that he forgot about the east, west, south, and north, and excited screams echoed throughout the mansion. Wei Zheng was the oldest, and had the experience of being in the military camp with Wei Ba. At this moment, he was like a general with command, commanding his younger brothers and sisters.
During the hide-and-seek game in the yard, Wei Yang was the youngest, walking with his calves, unable to keep up with the rhythm, and screamed in excitement.
Wei Ba stood on the small building, sweating profusely as he watched a group of children playing in the yard. He couldn't help but smile.
"Ziyu, I will have two more children soon." Wei Feng approached Wei Ba and begged: "As soon as they are born, can you let me go into battle? I want to avenge my father."
"The war is not for revenge." Wei Ba said: "The general will inevitably die on the battlefield. No one can avoid this. It is not a personal vendetta. What revenge can be taken? Maybe on the Huangquan Road. He and Zhang He even became good friends.
.”
Wei Feng was speechless.
"You have two other children. Who are they? How do you know they are two?"
Wei Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "You are wrong. Huan'er and Pang are both pregnant. My mother was worried that your sister-in-law was too busy to take care of her, so she took them to Yiyang. When they arrived in Yiyang
Yang. You will know."
Only then did Wei Ba understand and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law is still capable. It is not easy to marry a girl from the Pang family as a concubine."
Wei Feng curled his lips: "It's not just for your sake. By the way, my uncle Pang Lin is in Xiangyang. Would you like to meet him?"
"Of course I want to meet my relatives." Wei Ba immediately agreed.
Wei Feng passed the message to Mrs. Xi. Mrs. Xi rushed over immediately and suggested that Wei Ba simply make the scene bigger. After Xiang Lang returned from Chengdu, many people returned to their hometowns to repair their ancestral houses and recruit clan members.
There will inevitably be some disputes over interests. If Wei Ba can come forward to appease them, it will be good for the stability and harmony of Xiangyang.
Wei Ba agreed. He knew that this matter seemed to be brought up by Wei Feng accidentally. In fact, it was more likely that it was Mrs. Xi's care. Pang Lin was Pang Tong's younger brother, and his wife was Mrs. Xi's aunt. Wei Feng's concubine Pang was not
The other person is Pang Lin's youngest daughter. As a member of the Xiangyang Pang family, being able to marry her daughter to Wei Feng as a concubine is not only for Mrs. Xi's face, but also for her interests.
Marriage has always been a bond of exchange of interests.
With Wei Ba's consent, Mrs. Xi was very happy and immediately sent people to organize a banquet. Today's dinner was originally just a family banquet, but because of her suggestion, it has now become a meeting between the Xiangyang family and Wei Ba. The scale is huge.
Promotion. What they want to talk about is cooperation and sharing of benefits. As the liaison, the Xi family certainly wants the biggest share.
Looking at Mrs. Xi who was busy, Wei Ba suddenly felt a little tired. He moved closer to Wei Feng and hugged him with his shoulders: "How are you, sister-in-law?"
Wei Feng didn't understand what he meant and blinked blankly.
Wei Ba smiled: "My sister-in-law is a good wife, you are lucky."
Wei Feng laughed heartily: "You are the lucky one. Of the three women, which one is the most economical?"
Wei Ba sighed secretly, thinking that it was because they were not fuel-efficient lamps that it made people feel tired. Wei Feng couldn't feel this, and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. Mrs. Xi took her cousin as a concubine, and Huan'er was just a
Born as a maid, her status was not high enough and her intelligence was far from enough. From now on, Wei Feng's house was basically controlled by Mrs. Xi and her sisters.
When Wei Ba and Wei Ba were lying on the railing chatting, Xia Houhui was standing on a small building not far away, leaning against the window and smiling. Ling Dang, who was already a married woman, was by her side. Seeing that she was smiling happily, she also smiled and said
: "Madam, Mrs. Guan is feeling depressed, will she feel better?"
Xia Houhui looked back at Lingdang and put away his smile: "Lingdang, you are not allowed to mention this matter again. No matter what others say, you can't mention it. Do you hear me?"
Lingdang was surprised and a little aggrieved. "Why?"
"The general doesn't like this kind of thing. He has been trying to persuade peace. Can't you see? If anyone goes too far, he will also use thunderbolt methods. Your father was once an enemy of Guan Hou, and Ding Feng was
For the general beside the general, if the same thing is said by others, it will be one point, but if it is said by you, it will be ten points. It will make the general think more." Xia Houhui was silent for a moment, and then said: "Sister's side
There is Nanhu, and Nanhu’s husband is Wei Xing. I have you by my side, and your husband is Ding Feng. They are all indispensable assistants to the general. I don’t want there to be any differences between them. Men’s affairs should be resolved by men.
, the children's affairs should be resolved by the children themselves, and we should not get involved."
Ling Ding was still a little unwilling. "Then give up like this?"
"It's not about giving up." Xia Houhui shook his head: "I said that not fighting is the real fight. My sister is a warrior after all. She doesn't understand the true meaning of this sentence, so she is so explicit. She is the official wife, so forget it.
If the world is not peaceful, the general will tolerate her, but I am different. At this moment, the world is not peaceful, and he may not say anything if he relies on us brothers and sisters. But the situation will change. When the world is settled, what else can we rely on? What can we really rely on?
Dependence, or feelings. Do you think the general's decision to marry my aunt Cao to Guan Xing was a temporary intention? He probably saw that there would be a fight between us, so he hoped to use this marriage to connect our two families.
Of course, when necessary, the Cao family can also replace our Xiahou."
Ling Dang's color changed in shock and she couldn't help but cover her mouth. In her opinion, if it was true as Xia Houhui said, then Wei Ba's thoughts were too deep.
"Don't be surprised, this is the problem the master faces." Xia Houhui sighed softly: "Actually, he doesn't like this kind of thing, but when the matter reaches this point, he has to think about it. Sometimes, I also feel that he
It’s very pitiful, there are so many burdens on my body.”
"Who says it's not?" Lingdang said with emotion, "It seems like it's easier for us to do this."
"Don't be happy. If everything goes well, the Ding family will become bigger and bigger. By then, these things will be inevitable. The difference is only in degree. If you want to be a good housewife, you have to learn how to do it.
How to figure out what’s going on in your mind.”
Ling Ding stuck out her tongue: "Like Mrs. Guan, I am used to holding knives and not very used to reading people's thoughts. But I will remember your words and prevent him from being half-hearted and wanting to take a concubine. There is no way."
"Duh!" Xia Houhui spat, and said angrily and funnyly: "Ultimate head, you wasted so much saliva on me."
Just as he was talking, Wei Ba in the distance suddenly turned his head and seemed to glance here. A smile appeared on Xia Houhui's face and he raised his hand. Wei Ba also raised his hand, and the two of them were separated by twenty or thirty.
Buyuan said hello. Although he didn't say a word, he seemed to understand the other person's thoughts.
Lingdang bit her finger and thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out: "Madam, what do you think I should do? Should I let him take a concubine and come back to fight with me?"
"Of course not." Xia Houhui said calmly: "Since the issue of taking concubines is unstoppable, it is better to take the initiative to take concubines for him. Think about what Mrs. Xi did, and you will understand."
Lingdang understood a little better this time: "Find yourself a helper, not an opponent?"
"Finally I have some enlightenment." Xia Houhui sighed, stroking his forehead: "It's really not easy."
"Hehe..." Lingdang laughed, and then said sadly: "Why, no matter what kind of helper, the husband will always be divided into half, why are we still rushing to do it?"
Xia Houhui was silent. She couldn't answer this question. It was her idea to persuade Wei Ba to marry Guan Feng. Over the years, she had tried hard to win over Guan Feng. The relationship between the two had always been good, but when it came to children, they still couldn't.
Those who avoid become opponents.
Am I being too smart?
In another small building, Guan Feng stood in front of the window, watching Wei Yang running with other children, his eyes narrowed. Nan Hu stood behind her, silent. As Guan Feng's confidant, she knew that Guan Feng
What was she thinking in her heart, but she couldn't persuade her.
Wei Ba asked Guan Feng to go out with the army and not allow him to stay in Xiangguan anymore. Instead, he arranged for Jin Dongliu to assist Guan Xing. This can be seen as caring for Guan Feng and to prevent the Guan family from becoming powerful in Jingjiao.
And his stern warning to Guan Feng in front of Guan Yu's tomb further shows that he was already very dissatisfied with the overt and covert fighting between his wives and concubines.
"Nanhu, I'm really not good at this." Guan Feng said tiredly.
"Since you're not good at it, it's better to let it go." Nan Hu advised: "In my opinion, the general will not treat his wife badly. His love for Miss Yu far exceeds that of the four young masters."
"What use can a daughter's family do?" Guan Feng sighed: "I will eventually get married in the future."
Nanhu smiled and said: "In that case, Madam should get closer to the general and have two more sons. Thinking about these thoughts every day will make people grow old quickly."
Guan Feng pondered for a moment, then raised his eyebrows: "I heard that Tianshi Dao has the ability to hold the body, do you think it is true?"
