One Thousand Ninety-One: The Storm Rises Again (7)
The banquet ended unhappy.
Everyone knew very well that this was just a test of the vanguard, and the bottom line of the big guys was not revealed.
Nie didn't want to swallow the whole of Cangzhou either. He said he wanted Cangzhou when he came up, but it was just for the convenience of bargaining later.
This is the same as asking for prices and paying back money on the ground.
Negotiation, it is impossible to fix the price as soon as it comes up.
As everyone knows, Jiang Pengji's brain circuit is different from normal people, she is not trying to test, her bottom line is "do not lose an inch of land"!
The Nie family wanted to take over a county in Cangzhou so that they could get their hands on the land of Dongqing in the future. How could they have such a beautiful idea?
If the Nie family is allowed to succeed, Zhanjiang Pass, a dangerous gate, will be destroyed.
The Nie family can advance and attack, and retreat and defend. With such a neighbor, who can sleep at night?
Jiang Pengji is the most "greedy", she has the idea of occupying the entire territory of Cangzhou by herself.
Huang Song was more optimistic. He shared the cake with Jiang Pengji, and Nie got out of the way.
The Nie family has the lowest bottom line. The Nie family, Jiang Pengji, and Huang Song are divided into Cangzhou.
Looking at the situation, it seems that Jiang Pengji's ambition is the greatest, but in reality, Nie's ambition is the most obscure and strongest.
"A Nie family is so relentless, if the Beiyuan Yi family enters the game, won't the world be turned upside down?" Huang Song drank the hangover soup and forced himself to calm down a bit, "The current plan is to continue to watch and help each other with Lanting. Only then can we hold our ground so that Nie does not dare to act rashly."
Although he and Jiang Pengji are "brothers and sisters" of plastic flowers, they can barely be regarded as their own family members, and Nie's is an outsider.
Instead of letting outsiders take advantage, it is naturally best for the family to share the cake.
This situation was also Meng Zhan's plan before he died. If he didn't want outside forces to intervene, the alliance between Huang Song and Jiang Pengji could not be broken.
As everyone knows, Jiang Pengji also has her own plans.
"Zixiao—"
After the banquet was over, Wei Ci and the others followed behind Jiang Pengji, preparing to head back home, when they heard a familiar voice before they were far away.
Wei Ying stepped forward with a smile, and bowed to Jiang Pengji and the others, as if the words and swords just now were all fake.
"Brother!" Wei Ci returned the salute, with an equally calm expression, like a pair of ordinary brothers.
Jiang Pengji secretly glanced at the two of them, and said calmly, "You brothers haven't seen each other for many years, I'm afraid I have a lot to say, and I don't want to disturb you. Just one thing, Zixiao is weak, and I'm afraid he won't be able to stay up late and work hard. It's almost time, remember some rest."
After all, Jiang Pengji gave up space to the two brothers, and led the others back home.
Wei Ling looked at Jiang Pengji's back, and narrowed his eyes meaningfully, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.
He is well aware of his younger brother's aspirations, Wei Ci's selection of Jiang Pengji as an official, must be pinning his aspirations on this person——
China is unified, He Qinghai Yan!
Can this person fulfill Zixiao's expectations?
"Long time no see, can Zi Xiao get together with Brother Wei? Today we only talk about private matters, not business matters."
Wei Ci smiled and said, "Brother invites you, how dare Ci shirk? Please—"
The two walked side by side, Wei Ci and Wei Ying talked while walking, talking about the experiences of these years of separation and the things about their relatives at home.
Before Langya Wei's family migrated, Wei Ying was already married, and his sister-in-law gave birth to a son and a daughter one after another, and now they have two more sons and a daughter.
Speaking of this, Wei Ying couldn't help but care about his younger brother's marriage.
Wei Ci is twenty-seven this year, not seventeen!
If you don't marry a wife, you can use the horoscope of your birthday to prevaricate, but you don't even have a concubine's room to warm the bed—Wei Ying couldn't help but wonder, could it be that there is something wrong with his body function? However, Wei Ci has his own ideas when he is young, and he likes to be a single nobleman, so Wei Ying can't force him to be a matchmaker.
"Everything is fine at home, but I haven't heard from you for many years. My father misses you very much—if you have time, please write him a letter home."
Wei Ci's horoscope is unlucky. When he was born, his mother died of dystocia and collapsed.
Therefore, Wei's father was very sensitive to this young son, and he ignored him for many years, and the relationship between father and son was very weak.
I don't know if it's because he's getting old, but Wei Ying can occasionally see his father looking at Wei Ci's childhood portrait in the study,
The words were somewhat regretful.
Wei Ci nodded, "En."
"Your eldest nephew has decided to be the eldest daughter of the Guangshan family, and she will get married when she reaches Ji. You are a younger uncle, don't let people wait too long." Wei Ying couldn't help but mutter, no matter how single aristocrats are, it's better You can't be a bachelor for a lifetime, "If you really can't, why don't you choose a nephew to adopt?"
Wei Xi has three sons and two daughters, the youngest of whom is still babbling.
Instead of asking Wei Ci to choose a child from a branch of the clan, who are alienated by blood, it is better to choose one of his nephews and raise him as a parent.
Wei Ci: "..."
What is "he really can't do it"?
What does this "no" refer to?
To Wei Ci, Wei Ying is also a brother and a father, and in his previous life he had introduced blind dates to him a lot.
In the end, there was nothing left to do, he still wanted to adopt his younger son to him, so that Wei Ci would not have nowhere to depend on.
Wei Ci was also tempted at that time, but his sister-in-law refused, so he gave up.
"Brother kindly accepts it with kindness, but my sister-in-law may not agree to this matter, so it's not easy for my sister-in-law and my nephew to be separated from each other, right?"
Once adopted, the child can only call the biological mother the eldest aunt, which mother would like to?
Wei Ying was stunned for a moment, and could only dismiss the idea resentfully.
Wei Ci changed the topic indifferently, not talking about the adoption, "Brother assists Nie Liang now?"
Wei Ying smiled slightly, "Yes, Guangshan is a nice person."
If the relationship is not good, Wei Ying and Nie Liang will not be married.
Wei Ci closed his eyelids, but did not answer.
Wei Ci in his previous life knew Nie Liang, and met a few times through Wei Ying's relationship.
Nie's ability to overwhelm the other princes in Zhongzhao, this person contributed a lot.
only--
Nie Liang's final ending was not very good.
The rapid expansion of the Nie family in the previous life was largely due to Nie Liang, the ghost of the Nie family, and Sun Wen was responsible for the dominance in the later period.
Although the Nie family is full of talents, the family is not a solid one, and struggles between children and heirs are not uncommon.
As the power of the Nie family increased in Zhongzhao, the struggle between the sons and daughters intensified.
Nie Liang died when he was less than thirty-five years old. He died in family strife, and all his children were implicated.
Counting the time, Nie Liang is coming soon, right?
In this life, if the Nie family kills Nie Liang, will there be a "late bloomer" "Sun Wen" to turn the tide?
Countless thoughts flashed through Wei Ci's mind, but there was no change on his face.
Even though he knew that the death of Nie Liang would make his elder brother Wei Ying depressed, Wei Ci didn't intend to remind him.
After talking for a while, Wei Ci took the initiative to say goodbye when he saw the dark sky outside the tent.
Wei Wei didn't ask to stay, but got up to see him off.
After sending Wei Ci away, Wei Ying turned and went back to the house——
"It's better to be famous than to meet each other. Your young brother has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix." Nie Liang said regretfully, "Why did he stay in Langya back then?"
Wei Wei said, "I don't know, and he didn't explain why."
When the night wind blew, Nie Liang couldn't help but raised his sleeves and sneezed, some water welled up from his eyes.
