No one can persuade the eldest princess to decide. In the end, the houses were divided under her auspices.

The division was abrupt, but also quite smooth. Mrs. Fang of the long house made a mistake, and she no longer has the right to speak; the second house Wei Junhang has not returned, and Shen Xinyan is a rich family, and it does not depend on how much or less; the third house is a concubine, so she bowed her head, Seeing that the other two rooms of the direct descendant had no opinion, naturally they did not dare to say more.

However, no matter whether it is the second room of the long house or the third room of the concubine, without exception, they are not willing to split up.

Fang's needless to say, but for Wei Junxian and Yang's husband and wife of the third room, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. But this family is one cent, and if they move out of the mansion in the future, the glory of this mansion will have nothing to do with them.

Shen Xinyan couldn't persuade her for a long time, and she watched the eldest princess split up the Nuo big family, and her heart suddenly became mixed.

People from each room stood in the hall, silently watching the eldest princess push Wei Chenglin's support away, leaning on crutches, and left tremblingly. At this time, she was no longer the mighty Jinghe eldest princess, but an ordinary old woman who was heartbroken by her most trusted junior.

Shen Xinyan sighed and looked at Wei Chengqi, whose head was clenched tightly and his hands were trembling, Wei Chengzhao and Wei Chengyue stood beside him, shielding him from the reproachful sight of Wei Junxian and Yang's husband and wife.

Whether it's what Fang did in private, or the division of the state's government, it's not a glorious thing, Shen Xinyan naturally won't let people spread it, after all, she has been in charge of the government for so many years, she can still do this. .

Naturally, she would not give up on Wei Chenglin's injury. Is the offspring difficult? Not long after her son got married in the previous life, Zhou Wanning became pregnant. She did not believe that her son would encounter such a thing in this life.

Although the eldest princess suffered a blow, she lived most of her life and experienced countless ups and downs, but she recovered in a few days, and she devoted herself to healing her eldest grandson.

It's a pity that the imperial physicians who are skilled in the palace medicine have all invited them, but the results are all disappointing to them.

"I see that our house seems to be a little unhappy recently. It's better to hold a lively and lively wedding, and at least we can wash away these bad luck." Yang suggested.

"A happy event? What other happy events are there now!" The eldest princess sighed.

"Don't lie to my mother, Brother Zhao is getting older, and I want to book a marriage for him. This girl is not one of them. She is my niece from her family. She was married at the beginning of the year."

Shen Xinyan understood.

Among the younger males, Wei Chenglin is the leader, but he has never been able to make a marriage appointment, so it is not easy for Wei Chengzhao, Wei Chengyue and other young men to pass him.

However, the daughter-in-law that Yang's family was looking for was already married at the beginning of the year, but this marriage couldn't be delayed any longer.

The eldest princess rubbed her forehead and understood what she meant.

It seems that the marriage of the eldest grandson can't be delayed any longer. He hasn't married a wife for a day, and the marriage of the brothers Zhao, Yue, and Qi will also be blocked. So what happened.

"Since you have a candidate, let's book this marriage first!"

Yang shi readily agreed.

Make a reservation first, then try to choose a later wedding date, and leave enough time for Wei Chenglin of the second room. With his conditions, it is estimated that he will not be unable to find a girl he likes.

She thought like this, unaware of the imperial physician's diagnosis of Wei Chenglin.

When Shen Xinyan arrived, Wei Chenglin was instructing Zhimo to hand over a packet of silver taels to Ping Yan's family. When she saw her coming in, she had to stand up and salute, but Shen Xinyan stopped him.

"Ping Yan has been with me for many years, and now that he is gone like this, his family must be uncomfortable. I heard that he has a younger brother, and I thought about promoting him to the outer court and learning from Butler Wei, but I don't know what my mother thinks. ?" After Shen Xinyan was seated, Wei Chenglin revealed his plan.

"That's what it should be, you just have to make up your mind." Shen Xinyan naturally wouldn't refute him on these trivial matters.

And she felt very sorry for Ping Yan's death.

"I heard that Murong Tao from the General's Mansion was also seriously injured. The time of his injury is almost the same as yours this time. Could it be that he was on errand with you last time?" ask.

Wei Chenglin's eyelids trembled, and then he said nonchalantly, "The last time the boy was ordered by the emperor to chase down the Prince Cheng, who was missing that year. As for what kind of errand the little general Murong was doing, and why he was injured, the boy doesn't know. already."

Is that so? Shen Xinyan's gaze couldn't hide her suspicion.

"Then who plotted against you at the Summer Resort last time?" Shen Xinyan asked again.

"It's Murong Tao."

Shen Xinyan was not surprised: "Then what about you? It was found out that it was the black hand of Little General Murong. Have you ever thought about how to get revenge on him?"

Wei Chenglin had already made preparations, and faced her questioning without any confusion, and said calmly: "Baby is planning to set up a good situation and intends to teach him a lesson, but he has arrived without realizing His Majesty's will. Make plans after the errands are over.”

Seeing that Shen Xinyan only said "So it is", he couldn't guess whether she believed in him or not, but he was very sure that even if his mother didn't believe it, he couldn't find any evidence.

"And your marriage, what are your plans?" Shen Xinyan took a sip of tea and asked this helplessly.

In the past few days, Mrs. Yang ran to her when she was free, and asked Wei Chenglin's marriage, openly or secretly. In this regard, Shen Xinyan also had a headache.

Since the last time Wei Chenglin proposed to marry Zhou Wanning, but was rejected by the eldest princess, his marriage has reached a deadlock. The eldest princess didn't let go, and he also expressed his intention of not wanting to marry other women with silence. Both the mother-in-law and the grandson refused to give in to each other, but Shen Xinyan, the biological mother, didn't know what to do.

In all honesty, she is on the side of the eldest princess, no matter what Zhou Wanning's temperament is, she will never accept her as her daughter-in-law in this life. But the eldest son is a posture of not marrying.

"The child is so crippled now, so don't delay other girls. Although the elders are orderly, it is not inflexible, and the life-long affairs of several younger brothers cannot be delayed because of the child alone." Wei Chenglin sighed.

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that you plan not to marry for the rest of your life?" Shen Xinyan asked with a frown in her heart.

Wei Chenglin was silent.

"Let's not say whether it can be cured in the future, but when the imperial doctor first diagnosed it, he just said that the offspring was difficult, and he never said that there would be no such thing, you..." Seeing that he really meant such a thing, Shen Xinyan became anxious.

Wei Chenglin still didn't speak.

Shen Xinyan persuaded bitterly, and after a lot of words, she still didn't see any sign of loosening, and she suddenly became angry.

Seeing her back as she walked away, Wei Chenglin lowered his eyes to hide the complexities in his eyes.

At this time, Wei Junhang's heart was like an arrow, and he ordered someone to pack his luggage and set off back to Beijing early in the morning. The carriage went outside the city, and inadvertently lifted the curtain and looked out the window, and suddenly saw an old man who was described as haggard on the side of the road. Holding a jar wrapped in blue cloth in his arms, the old man staggered forward.

"Stop!" Wei Junhang ordered loudly. When the carriage stopped, he jumped out of the carriage and walked quickly to the old man: "Uncle Zhong!"

The old man stopped, his turbid eyes slowly looked at him, and hesitantly asked, "You are..."

"Uncle Zhong, I'm Wei Junhang! Do you still remember?" Wei Junhang was inexplicably surprised when he met an old friend.

The old man squinted his eyes and looked at him up and down. After a long time, he suddenly realized: "You are the old prince... Caomin has seen the prince!"

He hurriedly bowed.

Wei Junhang hurriedly supported him: "Uncle Zhong doesn't need to be too polite. It's been decades since we parted ways, but I never met an old friend again in a foreign country today!"

"Don't dare!"

Wei Junhang was always taken to the barracks for training by the old prince when he was a child, but he was born out of bounds, and he would be fined and grounded every three or five minutes. This uncle Zhong was the soldier who was in charge of watching him at that time.

After he disarmed and returned to the field, Wei Junhang never saw him again.

"It's rare to see you today, why don't we go to the town in front of us for a drink, Uncle Zhong, come..." As he said, he wanted to help the old man hold the jar.

"No, no, no need!" The old man hurriedly avoided his hand, and for a moment, respectfully and estranged from the tunnel, "I don't dare to work for the grandfather of the country, the old wife of Caomin's family is still waiting for Caomin and his unworthy grandson to return, and I don't dare to stay for a long time. , that's goodbye!"

After saying that, he bowed to him and left.

"In that case, why don't I send Uncle Zhong and Ling..." Wei Junhang's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the jar in his arms subconsciously.

"This is my unworthy grandson. He died on the eighth day of last month. Caomin has brought him back from the hands of Young Master Ling." The old man held the jar in his arms expressionlessly.

What? ! Wei Junhang was shocked.

Thinking of his grandson who died young, the old man couldn't hold back his tears.

"If he died on the battlefield, if he died for the sake of the country's righteousness, and for the sake of the common people, it would be considered a righteous death. I've been proud of him in my life, but now..." The old man couldn't speak, coughing loudly.

Wei Junhang hurriedly supported him to take care of him, and when he saw that his face had improved, he said sincerely, "Uncle Zhong, I really didn't know that Sun was actually working by the dog's side, let alone..."

The old man wiped away tears and pushed his hand away: "That's it, it's all life!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't look at him again, he hugged the jar, turned around and left.

Wei Junhang wanted to chase, but finally stopped, turned around and instructed the guards around him: "You send someone to escort him home, and then see if there is anything in his house that needs help. If there is, spare no effort to help. , Immediately ask someone to thoroughly investigate what the prince has done during my absence in the capital? Especially last month."

The guard took the lead.

The breeze from the suburbs came slowly, blowing his jacket fluttering, he frowned, and his face was solemn.

What the hell did Brother Lin do...

With doubts in his heart, he was in no hurry to return to Beijing, and his schedule also slowed down, just waiting for the news of his subordinates to report.

It was not until a month later that he got the letter from his subordinates.

When he opened the letter, his thick brows subconsciously furrowed even more tightly. The more he looked down, the more ugly his face became. In the end, he slapped the letter on the case heavily: "Absurd!"

"Come on, prepare the carriage and go back to Beijing immediately!" he commanded loudly.

In the Duke's Mansion, under the explicit hints of Yang's repeated over and over again, the eldest princess had to start over to negotiate for Wei Chenglin. After picking several girls one after another, Wei Chenglin sighed and shook his head, and then expressed bitterly that he didn't want to drag other girls down, so anxious that the eldest princess pulled him and scolded him.

"What nonsense are you talking about, child! What's not to be a drag, and the doctor's words can't be accurate, not to mention that it's not to the point where it's irreversible. Listen to your grandmother's words, don't say such things."

Wei Chenglin was silent for a while, and finally nodded slowly: "Grandson listens to grandmother!"

Seeing that he finally let go, the eldest princess was happy, and even Shen Xinyan was relieved.

However, for some unknown reason, she always felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Is it because he feels that it is difficult for him to have children, so he does not want to drag down his favorite Zhou Wanning? So it doesn't matter who you marry? As soon as such a thought appeared, she tried to suppress it again.

With the approval of her grandson, the eldest princess hurriedly handed the message to the family she had known each other for a long time. With a tacit understanding of each other, they were ready to invite official media to formally propose marriage.

Shen Xinyan's heart was up and down, but she tried to ignore it, and began to prepare for the marriage proposal.

This time, the girl whom the eldest princess is looking for is the cousin of the crown princess. Shen Xinyan has met once before, and she has a bit of a crush on that girl.

Who would have thought that when the official media who asked to propose marriage came back, they said that the family was vague, and seemed to be shirking the blame.

Shen Xinyan looked at the eldest princess subconsciously.

The eldest princess was extremely surprised: "What is the reason for this?"

Inviting a matchmaker to the door is just a matter of etiquette and going through the motions. In private, the two families have already had a tacit understanding and recognized this marriage.

"There are hundreds of women in this family who are begging, maybe they just want to see the sincerity of our family's request for marriage?" Shen Xinyan thoughtfully said.

"Madam's words also make sense. Your Highness also knows that even if some people are intentional, in order to mention the worth of their own girls, and to see the sincerity of the man, they will decline it once or twice." The matchmaker also thought of this. .

The eldest princess was a little unhappy in her heart, but she could barely understand the psychology of the woman's parent, so she said, "If that's the case, then please run again!"

However, when she was rejected for the second time, the face of the eldest princess turned completely black: "How unreasonable is this, is it possible that the Chen family thinks that with the support of the crown prince, they can humiliate this palace like this?!"

The unease in Shen Xinyan's heart grew stronger.

She thought, maybe the Chen family really intends to go back on it. If it is really discussed, this marriage is extremely beneficial to the Chen family. Although the Chen family is related to the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess is not surnamed Chen.

Wei Chenglin is not only the eldest grandson of the eldest princess, but also the future grandfather of the country. He is also the most trusted and capable person of the crown prince. Because of this, when he learned that the eldest princess intends to marry their daughter for the eldest grandson, the old man Chen Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law deserve it so quickly.

How to go back when it's the most critical moment? Could it be that they were not afraid that they would offend the government, offend the eldest princess, and even make the prince displeased?

It was not until the next day that Mrs. Chen personally went to the palace to ask to see the eldest princess, Shen Xinyan knew the reason.

It turns out that Mrs. Chen did not know where she learned that the British prince had a "difficult heir". She had only such a granddaughter under her knees. She had loved her like a treasure since she was a child. Madam, what about that? How can a woman stand up in the future if she has no children by her side?

Because of this, she tried her best to offend the Duke's Mansion, and still insisted on pushing the marriage.

Shen Xinyan was silent for a long time, looking at the old lady Chen who didn't believe the explanation of the eldest princess, she sighed a long time, knowing that this marriage was impossible.

After Mrs. Chen left, the eldest princess sat weakly on the long couch.

The twisted melons are not sweet, and people are unwilling to marry them. Is it possible that they can still be forced to marry? Whose children, whose parents are not distressed! Although she was annoyed that the Chen family went back on their word, but she didn't have the confidence to blame others.

This situation continued again, and it was also at the critical time of the engagement that the other party backtracked.

The third one that followed successfully responded to the official media who came to propose marriage, but they did not expect that when the two governments were planning to make a formal agreement, a shocking scandal broke out in the other's residence.

This time, it was replaced by the government of the government and regretted it.

The successive failures made the Eldest Princess feel a little discouraged.

"Grandmother, forget it, why bother with that. In the grandson's situation, people who really love their daughter will not agree to marry their daughter; if they agree to marry, I am afraid that they will come to the power of the government, it is not true. Good family." Wei Chenglin persuaded bitterly.

The eldest princess was silent for a moment, then sneered: "I don't believe it! It must be that those women do not have this blessing, so this marriage cannot be arranged!"

The next day, she took Shen Xinyan to Lingyun Temple and asked Master Huiming to count the marriage for her eldest grandson.

"The prince has his own destiny, so His Royal Highness and Madam don't have to worry."

"Then where is his destined person?" The eldest princess sighed in relief, and then asked again.

"Can Your Highness inform the poor monk about the birth date of the prince?"

The eldest princess hurriedly handed him the red paper with Wei Chenglin's birthday written on it.

"Huh? This birthday horoscope is a perfect match for the female benefactor that the poor monk saw a few days ago." Unexpectedly, after Master Huiming took it, he pinched his fingers, and his face was full of surprise.

"Really? Could it be that you have walked all over the iron shoes to find nowhere?"

A beautiful face immediately appeared in Shen Xinyan's mind, and she unconsciously tightened the veil.

Is it her?

"The poor monk only remembers that Mrs. Zhou brought it to ask the poor monk to count..."

Shen Xinyan took a breath, and when she heard Master Huiming mention the woman's birthday, she was already sure that it was Zhou Wanning.

Sure enough, those two are the fate of the marriage?

She sighed.

"The surname is Zhou, the age is fifteen, and he was born on the eighth day of November..." On the way back to the mansion, the eldest princess murmured.

Shen Xinyan knew that what she was reading was Zhou Wanning's birthday. She closed her eyes and carefully recalled the series of events that had happened since her eldest son's return, and then to the words of Master Huiming today, her mind suddenly moved.

Could it all be too coincidental? Or it could be said that Brother Lin and that Zhou Wanning were destined to have a marriage that was absolutely inseparable, so no matter who was engaged by Brother Lin, there would be obstacles of one kind or another, making the marriage impossible.

However, what if everything is not "destined"? That can only be calculated by someone with a heart, leading the situation step by step to the present.

And this person... If it is this person, believe that it will not be long before the eldest princess will find out that the daughter of Zhou Mao, who she had rejected so strongly earlier, is exactly the person she is looking for.

She bit her lips lightly, trying to convince herself that all this was really just an arrangement from God. After all, even if she died once, she could start all over again, which shows that the way of heaven is indescribable.

What if it wasn't some "God's arrangement"? Is she going to stop it? However, if everything is really Lin Ge'erbu's game, and the purpose is to successfully get his family to agree to his marriage with Zhou Mansion, it can be seen that his affection for Zhou Wanning has reached a very deep level, does she still need to stop it?

She just felt agitated and undecided, and in the end, she decided to wait and see.

However, everything was as she had guessed, and the eldest princess finally found out that the woman in the mouth of Master Huiming was the daughter of Zhou Mao, the minister of Honglu Temple.

After learning this answer, her face was really not good-looking. If it weren't for the remarks made by the respected Master Huiming, she would have wondered if the eldest grandson had arranged it.

"Shen Shi, you say, is that Zhou's daughter really the one destined for Brother Lin?"

Shen Xinyan lowered her eyes.

probably? In her last life, there were so many strange people who supported her and her eldest son, and they were indeed a natural couple.

"Should... be!" she replied softly.

When she said this, she felt relieved, as if she had suddenly put down a heavy burden that had been carried for a long time.

Seeing her say the same thing, the last trace of uncertainty in the eldest princess' heart was finally dispelled.

When Wei Chenglin arrived, what he saw was his grandmother and mother, who were equally solemn.

Hearing that the eldest princess slowly told him that she planned to marry the daughter of Lord Zhou of Honglu Temple, he felt relieved, but his face was bitter, and he shook his head and said, "Grandson is not willing! "

"I have made up my mind, whether you agree or not, I recognize this marriage!" The eldest princess would not allow him to object at all.

"Grandma, I disagree..."

"Didn't you like her earlier? Why is your grandmother now agreeing to you but not willing? Do you want to never marry her for life?" The eldest princess glared at him angrily.

"I……"

"Then let him not marry for life!!" The door was suddenly pushed open, followed by a man's calm voice. Shen Xinyan looked back in surprise and saw Wei Junhang strode in.

"You, are you back?" She greeted her excitedly.

"Yes, Madam, I'm back!" Wei Junhang's originally calm face softened when he saw her.
