Chapter 117:
Moreover, having such a biological sister who was insulted by gangsters will also affect the reputation of Wei Hanzhang, the younger sister who was just named the crown princess.
Originally, the birth of a princess in the family was very conspicuous, and all the eyes of the capital were focused on the Zhongyong Hou Mansion these days.
At this time, if Wei Hanyue is really allowed to come out to people as the eldest daughter of the Duke's Palace, it will only make the rumors that have subsided, with the help of political opponents, create a bigger wave.
So the best fate for Wei Hanyue is to die of old age in the family temple.
Wei Heng knew that his father's consideration was correct, but he was worried about leaving his eldest daughter alone in the Marquis's family temple after his family left. He planned to build a new family temple in his own Duke's Mansion and take his daughter there when the time came.
Unexpectedly, Wei Ping became furious when he heard this and asked him if he was still alive and whether he really planned to set up his own business.
There are not two characters for Wei in one stroke, but he wants to build two family temples for the Wei family. What is his intention?
At this point, Wei Heng was completely defeated.
While his parents are still alive and the family has not yet been divided, if he sets up a separate family temple, it is indeed unfilial to anyone to listen to him.
Ke Wei Hanyue could not leave his family temple, so he had to stay at the residence of Marquis Zhongyong.
…
While pushing cups and changing cups, it was already late at night. Except for children, most of the adults at the table looked slightly tipsy.
Wei Hanzhang was also a little too drunk, so Aunt Mei had quietly served him some sobering soup. At this moment, Wei Ping suddenly raised his glass in front of the whole hall and said to her: "Come on, Xiaojiu, grandpa proposes a toast to you." ”
Everyone who was already drunk was suddenly startled. In a family like theirs, they have only heard of the juniors toasting the elders, but they have never seen the elders take the initiative to toast the juniors.
Wei Ping held a wine glass in his hand and paused for a moment before continuing: "I am holding this family banquet today just to let you know that the Wei family has been inherited in Kyoto for hundreds of years. As long as we bear the surname Wei, we are of the same spirit." Zhi’s family.”
"Xiaojiu, you didn't grow up in Beijing, and you are a girl. After you come back to Beijing, if I, the grandfather, do anything inappropriate, I hope you will be kind to me, Xiaojiu, and don't hurt our family. mutual affection."
"What your grandfather said is right." After Wei Ping finished speaking, Mrs. Liu on the side also put on a wine glass and followed the same example: "Grandma has also reflected on herself these days. She was too harsh on you before, but she was actually worried about you. , I didn’t expect it to hurt your heart. Today, I will take advantage of the family dinner to make amends to you.”
As the highly prestigious head and mistress of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, Wei Ping and Liu had lowered their status to an extremely low level with these words. Not only were everyone in the audience stunned, but even Wei Heng, who was quite dissatisfied with his parents' behavior, was shocked. Extremely.
Immediately, I felt moved and guilty.
Wei Heng stood up in a hurry: "Father, mother, why are you like this? We are all a family, and you are still the elders. If there is anything wrong, there is no need for you to apologize in person. Ranran is just angry for the moment, and you will figure it out after a while. of."
He looked at the silent young girl beside him, his eyes full of expectation and said, "You think so, Ran Ran?"
Wei Hanzhang lowered her eyes and did not look at him. She had been slightly prepared for the purpose of this family banquet, and it was determined that it was directed at her, but she did not expect to use this trick.
To retreat to advance.
But it’s not a big deal…
Wei Hanzhang stood up with a smile, raised his glass and said: "My father is right, you and I don't need to be like this. I am not a grudge person, and I will not hold grudges over trivial matters."
After saying that, she drank the wine in the glass and continued to smile: "You two elders are so kind, you should be able to understand my mother's heart. I wonder if you can let my mother often visit my sister in the family temple in the future. Woolen cloth?"
This is the first time that Wei Hanzhang has spoken to Wei Hanyue in the family temple to her face. Unless she mentioned it, many people working there would have forgotten that there is such a girl in the family. Wei Ping did not hesitate. After finishing the glass of wine happily, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Our Xiaojiu has an order. Grandpa, I have to obey it. Then from tomorrow onwards, there will no longer be any guards at the temple. Who wants to go?" All is OK.”
As soon as these words came out, Wei Heng and Jiang were filled with excitement.
Wei Hanzhang also smiled and sat down again.
Everyone in the venue breathed a sigh of relief. In their opinion, this glass of wine between the three of them had eliminated all the unspeakable conflicts in these days.
…………
On the way back to Tingfeng Pavilion, Wei Hanzhang didn't think anything of it at first, but he was overjoyed by the unhappy look on Lu Zhu's face behind him, "What are you doing? You can even hang a bottle of oil with your little mouth."
"I feel sorry for the girl," Luzhu said. The maid she had followed from Xuzhou had nothing to do with the Wei family. After seeing the injustice suffered by her own girl, how could she be willing to see her just "smiling away her grudges" like this.
Wei Hanzhang smiled and said, "Don't worry about anything else. I just drank a glass of wine. I didn't lose anything. Instead, I asked my mother to go visit my sister at any time."
As for the so-called elimination of discord, how can a glass of wine eliminate the coldness in my heart?
Having her grandparents apologize in public is no different than putting her on the fire. Weiping's doing this will only make her feel more uncomfortable.
Early in the morning on the second day, after the washing of Zhang and the Zhang, she took her niece and the female officer in the four palaces to go to Wei Guogong. For a few days of work, her Yu Xuan Pavilion had decorated very properly.
The ornaments of Tingfeng Pavilion were all moved over intact.
Wei Hanzhang had visited it before, and now that he had officially moved in, he didn’t feel that it was new. Instead, he was temporarily interested in leaving the house and going to the bookstore to pick out some newly released novels.
During this period, she found that the scripts in the capital were much bolder than those in Jiangnan. Except when she went to meet Xiao Boqian next door, she spent most of her time flipping through the scripts, quite fascinated.
Just as he was about to take the carriage out of the mansion, he happened to meet Wei Hansu at the gate. The two sisters bumped into each other. Wei Hansu hurriedly greeted him: "Ran Ran, are you leaving the mansion?"
Wei Hanzhang nodded and said politely: "Yes, I plan to buy a few books and read them back. Can Seventh Sister go with me?"
She just asked casually, thinking that Wei Hansu would not be willing to go out because of his temperament. Unexpectedly, she was slightly startled, but she nodded and said expectantly: "Then I'll go with Ran Ran."
…
On the carriage, Wei Hansu said cautiously: "Ran Ran, do you think I am timid and find it difficult to get into the elegant hall?"
“…” Wei Hanzhang shook his head silently.
"I knew Ran Ran wouldn't do it." A smile appeared on Wei Hansu's face: "Although there are many sisters in our generation, I am a commoner, and no one has cared about me since I was a child. But I can see that only Ranran, you don’t dislike me.”
It can be seen that she really wants to get close to this sister.
Even though he is timid and afraid of meeting strangers, he still wants to follow Wei Hanzhang out of the house.
I went to the hospital today and had a CT scan. It was not pneumonia. I was prescribed some medicine and I felt better in the evening. At least I no longer had the pain of coughing out my lungs...
