My wife is sick

Chapter 493

The closer to the end of the year, the busier Wei Fu will be.

There are not many people who have good relations with the Duke of Zhenguo, and it is said that the preparations for the annual ceremony would not take too much effort from Wei Fu, but Jiang Heng has fought in the battlefield for more than [-] years, and many of his subordinates have left due to injuries or disabilities. subordinates in the army.

When these subordinates left the army, they could get some money for resettlement, but Jiang Heng's subordinates were all family members, so what use would a little money be worth?
Therefore, Jiang Heng has actually been helping these former subordinates all these years.

It is actually reasonable for Jiang Heng to be so supported by the people below.

Of course, the reason why Jiang Heng helped these subordinates was not to gain anyone's support, but just to make himself feel at ease.

In the past few years, Manager Liu was responsible for these matters, but since Wei Fu came back, the Duke's Mansion had a mistress, so naturally Wei Fu should take care of these matters.

Among Jiang Heng's subordinates, some have returned home, some have obtained official positions, some have lived well, and some have lived poorly, but no matter what the situation is, every New Year's , these people will never forget to send their hearts to the government of Zhen Guo.

It is also because of this that since Laba, the Duke's Mansion began to receive annual gifts from various places one after another.

These annual gifts are not expensive, but they are all the wishes of Jiang Heng and other subordinates, so they are naturally worthy of Wei Fu, the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, to treat them with caution.

This is Wei Fu's first time dealing with these matters. In order to avoid any omissions, she called Director Liu to her side.

In the past, Manager Liu was responsible for all these matters. Of course, Manager Liu is the most familiar with each person's situation. Which family's life is not going well, which family's father is seriously ill, and which family's child has lost his mother...

and many more.

Different situations always require different responses.

When Wei Fu asked about the situation of everyone in Manager Liu, and gave away all the annual gifts to these subordinates, it seemed that it would be New Year's Eve.

Wei Fu finally finished what she had to deal with, and returned to the bedroom without incident.

Jiang Heng was reading a book, when he heard the voice, he raised his head. The moment he saw Wei Fu, his eyes were filled with tenderness, "Ma'am, are you finally done?"

Wei Fu nodded.

After the couple washed up, they talked about the palace banquet held in the palace this year.

Every New Year's Eve, there will be a palace banquet in the palace, and all civil and military officials will bring their families to the palace for the banquet.

"Will this year's palace banquet still be held as usual?" Wei Fu asked.

If possible, she would not like to attend any palace banquet, she would rather have a lively New Year's Eve dinner with her family, that would be too much fun.

Jiang Heng nodded, "Not only will the palace banquet be held as usual, but there may also be some surprises at this palace banquet."

surprise?

Wei Fu looked up at Jiang Heng.

Just from Jiang Heng's tone, it's not hard to hear that it's not so much a surprise, it's better to say that there is only surprise but no joy.

but……

Since Jiang Heng knew about it in advance, he didn't even think he was surprised.

Jiang Heng embraced Wei Fu and said, "I have already received the news that Wei Changzheng has escorted the first batch of New Year's tribute to Beijing."

Jing Dynasty and Xiyi negotiated peace, because Jing Dynasty was in an advantageous position in the border war between the two countries, and Xiyi would naturally have to pay some price if they wanted to negotiate peace.

The annual tribute is one of the prices.

Originally, the peace was negotiated this year, and according to the results of the negotiations between the two countries, the first batch of annual tributes would be paid by Xiyi in the spring of next year, but it was unexpected that Wei Changzheng would get the annual tribute several months in advance , and want to present it to Emperor Jingwen at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve?
Thinking of this, Wei Fu couldn't help but frown tightly.

The border gate was the place where Jiang Heng fought for more than [-] years, but after he returned to Beijing this time, Emperor Jingwen not only did not urge him to go back to the border gate, but also sent Wei Changzheng there. Let Wei Changzheng handle the follow-up matters. There is no doubt that there is a dislike for Wei Changzheng to pick peaches.

now……

This Wei Changzheng chose such a time to send Sui Gong to Beijing in advance. What does he want to do?
"Is this asking for credit?" Wei Fu said coldly.

Hearing this, Jiang Heng gently stroked Wei Fu's back, and said in a low voice, "Wei Changzheng is someone who is trusted by the Holy Majesty. If not, the Holy Majesty would not have sent this person to the border."

In the past few years, Jiang Heng stayed at the border. No matter how capable Wei Changzheng was, he would always be overwhelmed by Jiang Heng. Therefore, after going to the border for a few years, Wei Changzheng never showed any brilliance.

But it's different now.

Jiang Heng has stayed in the capital for more than half a year. Without Jiang Heng's pressure, Wei Changzheng took over the peace negotiation between Jing Chao and Xiyi. Now he has made some achievements. He will want to show off, but also Normal thing.

What's more, Emperor Jingwen probably wanted Wei Changzheng to do the same.

From this, it can be seen that Emperor Jingwen really wanted to promote Wei Changzheng.

Thinking of this, Jiang Heng couldn't help but sneer.

Wei Fu looked at Jiang Heng worriedly: "Husband, is there any problem?"

Even though she believed in Jiang Heng, Wei Fu would not believe Wei Changzheng's actions if he did not get the order of Emperor Jingwen, and it was precisely because of this that she felt worried.

Hearing this, Jiang Heng lowered his head with a smile, and pressed his forehead against Wei Fu's, "Madam, don't worry, our family will be fine."

As for Wei Changzheng...

To Jiang Heng, it was just a puppet in the hands of Emperor Jingwen, and he really didn't take it seriously.

In this way, Wei Fu felt relieved.

Jiang Heng said: "Madam, you and the children just watch the palace banquet on New Year's Eve."

Wei Fu nodded.

*
After a few days, it was the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month.

The weather this day was extremely cold, and it snowed all night last night. When Wei Fu got up, the snow in the yard was as high as her knees.

Looking at the thick snow, Wei Fu couldn't help but think of when she was a child, Qin led her and Wei Lang to build a snowman in a snowy day. Although the snow was cold under their palms, looking at them Wei Fu and Wei Lang's hearts were warm for the snowman they made together.

do not know either……

In today's uncle's mansion, did Mrs. Qin smile and look at a few small snowmen?

Thinking about it this way, Wei Fu couldn't help but miss Qin Shi.

When Wei Fu was thinking this way, she felt warmth on her shoulders, but it was Jiang Heng who put a thick cloak on her.
