Chapter 50 (Please Read on) Gentlemen, Follow Me to Defeat the Enemy!

Mrs. Zhang's visit to the Sheng family alarmed many dignitaries in the capital.

Mrs. Zhang didn't care about this.

No matter what happened, how others talked about it, or what attitude they had, the Duke of Ying never cared.

At this moment.

Sheng family.

As soon as Mrs. Zhang left, Sheng Hong assigned Wei Shuyi a few more maids.

Without any hesitation, Wei Shuyi's position in the Sheng family is now close to Wang Ruofu, or even surpassed.

However, Wei Shuyi's current pride gave Lin Qinshuang an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Sheng Hong was born to a concubine, and later he was raised by Old Lady Sheng and became the legitimate son of the Sheng family.

Therefore, Sheng Hong knew very well how difficult it was for an unfavored concubine in an official family.

Now, as the mistress of the house, Wang Ruofu didn't have to worry about her situation.

And Wei Shuyi had Wei Yuan's support behind him, so there was no need to worry.

But what about Lin Qinshuang?

No one to rely on!

Therefore, Sheng Hong has been paying close attention to Lin Qinshuang in recent days.

He does not want the tragedy of his biological mother to happen again.

On the night after Madam Zhang left.

Sheng Hong came to live in Lin Qinshuang's yard.

After a lovemaking session.

Lin Qinshuang lay in Sheng Hong's arms and whispered:

"Honglang, I heard from Changfeng that the lady came to our house today to discuss Wei Yuan's marriage with Wei Shuyi?"

Sheng Hong nodded, "That's true. No matter what, we can make friends with a family like the Duke of Yingguo Mansion with Shuyi, which is a good thing!"

Lin Qinshuang sighed and said, "The mistress has the Wang family behind her, and Wei Xiaoniang has General Wei behind her. They can all help our Sheng family and the master."

"It's just that I have no identity or background, so I can only sigh that I am powerless and can hardly help the master."

As she spoke, she was about to cry.

Sheng Hong quickly comforted him, "I'm glad you have this intention."

Lin Qinshuang said carefully again, "My Lord, the Duke of Yingguo Mansion, after all, is related to the Wei family."

"If our Sheng family really wants to rely on the Duke of Yingguo Mansion, we can't just rely on the Wei family."

"Now our family can talk to the Duke of Yingguo Mansion. I heard that the lady has three sons, all of whom are of marriageable age."

"I just don't know if our Sheng family's children can marry into their Duke of Yingguo Mansion. In a few years, Molan will soon be talking about marriage."

The words haven't been finished yet.

Sheng Hong interrupted, "Shut up!"

"You really dare to say anything?"

"What kind of family is the Duke of Yingguo's mansion? What virtue do we have to become relatives with the Duke of Yingguo's mansion?"

"To tell you the truth, even if Molan marries into the Duke of Yingguo's mansion as a concubine, she is not worthy!"

"How can I talk to the Duke of Yingguo's mansion? What? I'm afraid I can't even get in the door if I go!"

Lin Qinshuang hurriedly said, "Master, please don't be angry. I just want to find a good marriage for Molan."

"Didn't the lady say that if you have time, you can visit them?"

Sheng Hong said angrily, "Shut up! Don't say anything!"

"The lady said that you can go if you are free, but she didn't say that we can go!"

"Those who want to become relatives with the Duke of Yingguo's mansion are either royal relatives or noble families. What is our Sheng family? You really dare to think!"

Lin Qinshuang didn't dare to say much.

She just wanted to give it a try.

What if there is really hope? ——

Shou'an Hall.

In the courtyard where Old Lady Sheng lived.

After Minglan had dinner with the old lady, she stayed in the room and talked with her.

Today, Madam Zhang came to visit.

The whole Sheng family was busy.

The old lady also asked in detail.

Minglan told her everything she knew.

Then, the old lady said with emotion: "Ming girl is kind-hearted. Grandmother is afraid that you will suffer in the future because of your temper."

"Now it's all right. From now on, with your uncle's care, you will surely be able to spend your life in peace."

Minglan said: "Grandma, mother said that I can't rely on my uncle's name. The more powerful my uncle is, the more low-key my granddaughter should be."

"Besides, even if my uncle is not powerful, my granddaughter will surely be able to live a peaceful life with such a good grandmother like you."

The old lady smiled knowingly, "Little boy, but smart."

After a pause, she said: "In a few days, Zhuang Xuejiu will be here. I have already told your father that you should go to school. Reading more books is always good."

Minglan smiled and said: "Thank you grandma for your help."

When her handwriting is well practiced, she can write to her uncle.

Thinking of this, Minglan became happier.

At the same time, Wei Shuyi was also in his own courtyard, kneeling on the ground, clasping his hands together, praying for Wei Yuan, and then muttering:

"Wei family ancestors, now my younger brother has made progress and has a good marriage, which is considered to be an honor for our Wei family."

"I, the unworthy daughter Wei Shuyi, pray to the ancestors to protect my younger brother's safety."

At this moment.

In the mansion of Duke Qi.

Princess Pingning, the wife of Duke Qi, was speaking to Duke Qi:

"Today, I heard that Madam Zhang went to the Sheng family who had just arrived in Beijing."

Duke Qi asked curiously: "Which Madam Zhang?"

The Sheng family that had just arrived in Beijing was only Sheng Hong's family.

During the court meeting, because the emperor asked Sheng Hong to reply, all the civil and military officials in the court knew it.

Princess Pingning said: "Of course it is the Duke Ying's mansion, otherwise which Madam Zhang would it be?"

Duke Qi said: "Why would a dignified lady go to a small Sheng family?"

Princess Pingning shook her head and said: "Who knows this? But I did inquire about it, and I don't know what means the Sheng family used to invite scholars from the great Confucianism School of the world."

"We Heng'er just need a famous teacher to teach us. I will go to the Sheng family tomorrow and ask Heng'er to study with Zhuang Xuexue for a few years."

"It will definitely be helpful to Heng'er's studies."

——

The next day.

In Daizhou Naocheng.

Wei Yuan and Gu Yankai followed Zhang Fu's order and divided their troops to leave the pass.

Attack the Xixia army all the way, and attack the Liao army all the way.

Two vanguard armies were waiting for opportunities to harass the enemy outside the pass.

Zhang Fu, on the other hand, sat in Daizhou and commanded the central army, waiting for action when the time came.

Outside Guocheng.

Gu Yankai told Wei Yuan:

"It's your first time as a vanguard, and it's your first time to go out to fight. You must be careful in everything."

The latter nodded and said, "Thank you, Marquis Gu, for reminding me."

Gu Yan smiled and said, "No need to be polite. I have to thank you for my son's stay in Yangzhou."

"Remember, you must obey Zhang Shuai's instructions carefully and don't rush ahead because of greed for credit. You and I only need to harass and raid the enemy."

"As long as the first battle can produce good results, return to the pass immediately without any mistakes."

Wei Yuan nodded, "After attacking the enemy camp, I will return to the pass immediately, Gu Hou, and say goodbye."

Gu Yan said: "Be careful!"

The two led their respective ministries and separated.

Two days later.

Wei Yuan took a detour to the Liao Pioneer Army's camp fifty miles away from Yanmen Pass.

The reason why we did not march from Yanmen was mainly because we were worried that the Liao army scouts would know about it in advance.

However, starting from Guocheng and taking a detour, it was not easy for the Liao army to know in advance.

When the Liao army knew about it, the army had already arrived outside the Liao army camp.

Wei Yuan promptly allowed the army to rest and prepare food.

The march lasted two days, stopping while walking, so it saved the soldiers' physical strength.

After all the soldiers in the army have eaten.

Wei Yuan held the Guandao and came to a hill. He looked at the Liao army camp not far away and said to the soldiers of the three armies:

"Everyone, you can only wait until now to make great achievements!"

"Follow my general and charge into the camp to defeat the enemy!"

"kill!"

The words just fell.

All the soldiers who heard this sentence shouted the word "kill" in unison.

Gradually exaggerate the whole army.

The killing power seems to be shocking!
