After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't remember anything. He felt tired and sleepy. His eyelids were drooping, and he fell asleep on Wei Jing's warm chest.
She set out for Beijing early the next morning. When she hurried out to get on the car, she met Prince Ji and his entourage filing out. She suddenly remembered this incident and couldn't help but glance over there a few more times.
However, it was just such a coincidence that Yang Shu walked out of the inn right after Prince Ji.
He was wearing a royal blue robe with wide sleeves, his face was as handsome as jade, his eyes were as bright as stars, and his complexion was as fair as the white snow. He had an indifferent expression and got into one of the carriages behind Prince Ji.
"Huh?"
Shao Qing’s eyes widened. She actually knew this person!
Because they were far away, she couldn't see his facial features clearly, but the vague outline instantly overlapped with someone in her memory.
That's not quite right. It should be the memory of the original body.
"What's wrong?"
Wei Jing simply got on the car with her. Wang Jing and others consciously left. He asked in a low voice: "Do you know him?"
"yes!"
Shao Qing nodded repeatedly and lowered his voice to a very low level: "He is my aunt's cousin!"
It belonged to the original owner, but now it is also hers. No wonder she felt that the name Yang Shu was so familiar last night.
Shao Qing has the memories of his original body, but these things are not what he experienced personally, so there is a slight difference. She always has to try hard to recall it, or be suddenly triggered like today, before she suddenly remembers it.
"oh?"
Wei Jing raised his eyebrows. How could his wife's cousin become a minor advisor to Prince Ji?
Shao Qing was born in the Dongping Marquis Mansion. She was the eldest daughter, so her in-laws naturally would not be from a small family. He thought about it and it seemed that his wife had an aunt who married into the Yangdu Marquisate, but he forgot how many wives she had.
The Yangdu Marquisate was famous for having many descendants, with five legitimate children alone.
However, no matter how many descendants there are, they should be able to produce scholars normally. After all, the Yangdu Marquisate is a neutral faction and will not be implicated in the overthrow of the Eastern Palace and the Fu family.
"I don't know about that."
Shao Qing recalled: "My aunt was the second wife of the Yangdu Marquisate and had only one son, my cousin Yang Shu. My aunt was kind and my cousin was also very good and took good care of me."
Because of Yang Shu's touch, warm memories came flooding back. The original body often stayed at Yang's house for a short time. For her, those days could almost be said to be her most carefree time.
Speaking of this, I have to first mention Shao Qing's mother's family in this life. There were quite a lot of troubles there.
The original body's father, Shao He, Marquis of Dongping, was a typical ancient scholar-official. He was dignified and valued offspring, but he was not close to his daughter. Actually, this is nothing, it is like this in most aristocratic families, and it is usually the mother who makes up for it.
Unfortunately, the original body's mother, Sun, was slightly lacking in this aspect.
It’s not that Sun doesn’t love her daughter, she does, but she loves her son more.
After Sun married into Dongping Prefecture, she became pregnant the following year and gave birth to her eldest daughter. This is a good thing. It is also good to have flowers bloom first and then bear fruit. After all, you are young. Unfortunately, she had a difficult labor when giving birth to her daughter. After both mother and daughter were finally safe, her body was damaged. The imperial physician said that it would be difficult for her to conceive in the future.
Can’t have a son?
That won’t work! After the founding of the country, the title of Marquis of Dongping was inherited by the descendants. So, as soon as Sun came out of confinement, her mother-in-law arranged to find a second wife for her son.
She is the second wife, who has a matchmaker and an engagement. She is only slightly shorter than the principal wife, and is not an ordinary concubine.
Why?
The reason is very simple. According to the system of inheritance of titles in the Great Chu, the legitimate son, especially the eldest legitimate son, shall inherit the title. Under normal circumstances, the imperial court cannot obstruct it without reason. But it is different for illegitimate sons. If the emperor is unhappy, it is reasonable to demote them to a lower rank and inherit the title.
Although the son of the second wife is also a bastard, he is much more valuable than ordinary bastards. When the time comes, he will be placed under the name of the Sun family. There will be fewer things to criticize about the legitimate son. With some lobbying, there will be basically no problem for him to inherit the title smoothly.
With the arrival of the second wife, the problem of the Dongping Marquis' Mansion was solved, and both the Lady Dowager and Shao He were very happy.
The only one who was unhappy was Sun.
If I really can't give birth to a son in this life, I can only swallow my anger and blame my bad luck. But something even more upsetting happened to Sun. When her daughter was almost two years old, she found out she was pregnant. After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a son.
At this time, the eldest son born to Cai from the second wife had just finished the one-year-old ceremony.
It's a fate that makes people vomit blood. The eldest son is not the eldest, and Cai has a clear goal since she got married. She wants to give birth to a son to inherit the title of marquis.
For more than ten years, the two families had been fighting each other. Sun was busy dealing with Cai, and she also had to keep a close eye on her only son to prevent him from being attacked. It was inevitable that she neglected her daughter.
The original body was an emotionally delicate little girl, very sensitive. Her mother paid more attention to her younger brother and loved him more. Since she could remember, she often told her to take good care of her younger brother and not let anyone take advantage of him.
She also cared about her younger brother, but couldn't help feeling sad. There were some things she couldn't tell her mother, so she confided in her aunt, who held as much of a position in her heart as her mother.
I forgot to mention that sometimes Sun had a hard time taking care of two children, so she had to send her daughter to her sister's house for a short stay and then take her back when she was free.
This was even more painful to the original body.
Aunt Sun could only try her best to comfort her. Her sister was in a difficult situation and she felt helpless. Her niece was even more innocent. She couldn't say who was wrong. She could only blame the damn Dongping Marquis's Mansion for being so difficult.
Shao Qing let out a long sigh and got back to the point: "Cousin Yang is extremely talented. He started learning at the age of three, and could write poems and couplets at the age of six. He is proficient in all the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Later, he also learned swordsmanship, which is quite impressive."
In her original memory, her cousin's swordsmanship was quite remarkable, but Shao Qing thought about Wei Jing and decided to just give him a passable evaluation.
In my memory, Yang Shu was a gentle and noble man, capable of both literature and martial arts, and he treated my little cousin very well. The Sun sisters even had the idea of strengthening the relationship, but it was not until Empress Fu took a fancy to Yuan Shen as one of the candidates for daughter-in-law that the matter was dropped.
Of course, the original body didn’t know, so Shao Qing didn’t know either.
She frowned: "My aunt died of illness three years ago. He should have been an official in the capital."
Something must have happened, which is why he left the capital to seek refuge with Prince Ji.
These two people are the softest part of her heart, and she hopes to understand them if possible.
"Are you familiar with this Yang Shu?"
For some reason, Wei Jing felt a sense of depression in his heart when he heard Shao Qing praising Yang Shu as if he knew him by heart. He frowned and asked this question after a long while.
Shao Qing nodded: "Yes, I go to the Yang family at least twice a year. My aunt only has one son, so she treats me like her own daughter. My cousin is also very good and often takes me out to play."
Outings in spring, garden tours in summer, chrysanthemum appreciation in autumn and snow appreciation in winter are quite thoughtful.
Childhood sweethearts?
Wei Jing felt even more stuffy in his chest. The anger could neither be dispersed nor suppressed. It just piled up there and made him feel uncomfortable.
Wei Jing didn't say anything, but Shao Qing pulled his arm and shook it: "Husband, if there is nothing serious when we go to Beijing this time, let's ask around."
It can be considered that I am doing justice to my original self.
Shao Qing thought that this matter was quite gossipy and it shouldn't be difficult to find out more.
Wei Jing had a blank expression on his face: "If we can spare some time, we'll ask around."
"Huh? What's wrong with you, husband?"
Shao Qing raised her head and saw that he had a stern face and looked unhappy. She was surprised. How come he was fine just now?
"nothing?"
Wei Jing lowered his head and saw her looking at him with wide eyes, and his relaxed expression disappeared in an instant. He pulled the corners of his lips and relaxed his expression.
"I was just thinking about going to Beijing."
"oh."
That really requires careful consideration. The capital is almost here. "Then think about it."
I won't bother you anymore.
The author has something to say: Wei Jing (frown): I feel a little uncomfortable when I found out that my wife has a childhood sweetheart.
Shao Qing (unexplained): What’s going on? Why are you suddenly unhappy?
