Chapter 140:
Xiao Junzhan is very busy. Even when she comes to the palace, there are many political affairs every day. At her age, she is the most lively and playful. He is reluctant to detain people in the palace, so no matter where she goes to play, even if she is Xiao Junzhan would go to her for a walk outside the palace.
One can imagine how wanton Wei Hanzhang lived these days.
Those who have everything going their way are like being in the clouds, almost floating away.
On this day, another basket of tender and red lychees was sent from Chengming Hall. It was said that they were just sent as tribute from Lingnan, and they looked very fresh.
After Wei Hanzhang peeled off a few and tasted them, his eyes shone slightly, and he hurriedly called Lu Lan to pack out half of them and went to his parents' courtyard in the outer city, intending to borrow flowers and offer them to the Buddha to fulfill his filial piety.
When she went out, she looked in the direction of the side hall, turned her head and asked Luzhu: "Sister Qi is in the house, go and ask her if she wants to go with us."
Lu Zhu whispered: "Miss Qi went out early in the morning. She has a good relationship with Liniang from Liuhou Mansion these days. She loves to go and play with her. I think it will be the same today."
"Oh?" Wei Hanzhang was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's right. The seventh sister should have made friends with noble ladies and learned to go out to meet friends."
She likes to call ladies from acquaintances to the inner city from time to time these days, and she also wants to introduce some playmates to Wei Hansu.
Wei Hansu is still a girl from the Duke's Palace and the concubine of the Crown Princess. She shouldn't have to stay in the backyard every day and be timid when meeting strangers.
Wei Hanzhang's attitude towards this concubine was not bad. When the other noble ladies met, they were naturally warm and attentive to Wei Hansu. No, the foot injury had just healed and they were all invited by their friends to go out for appointments.
It can be seen that the courage is also much greater.
After asking about Wei Hansu's absence, Wei Hanzhang took two personal maids in a sedan chair and went to his parents' courtyard in the outer city.
The courtyard divided into Duke Wei's Mansion is not far from the inner city. After a while, he saw the familiar courtyard wall. Wei Hanzhang got off the sedan chair and happened to meet his young brother.
Wei Yunpei is four years younger than her. He is an eleven-year-old young man. His facial features have grown and he is beginning to show his handsomeness. He is studying in the Imperial College, and Wei Hanzhang has rarely seen him in the past few months since he returned to Beijing.
Wei Hanzhang felt a little fondness for the younger brother who died in the cold winter in the original work, perhaps because he was related by blood.
Wei Yunpei bowed to her with dignity and dignity, his eyes showing intimacy.
Looking at this direction, Wei Yunpei had just come out of his parents' courtyard, and Wei Hanzhang was about to go in. The two siblings were not along the way, but since they met, Wei Hanzhang inevitably asked his younger brother a few questions with concern.
In such a question and answer, the two people's life was sparse.
“Sister,” Wei Yunpei suddenly whispered, “Dad and mother seem to be having a conflict, do you know?”
"What?" Wei Hanzhang was a little surprised, "What's going on? Did you see them quarreling?"
"I didn't see the quarrel, but..." Wei Yunpei whispered: "In short, something is not right with them."
Wei Hanzhang looked at his younger brother, who was almost the same height as himself, and saw his confident expression, a little doubtful.
In fact, Jiang is really virtuous and generous, and Wei Heng's temperament has always been gentle. With so many things happening in the past few months since he returned to Beijing, Wei Hanzhang has never seen them blush.
She simply could not imagine what it would be like for her parents to quarrel.
We are an old married couple, and there have been many happy events in the family recently. What else is worth arguing about?
Could it be that the heroine of the original novel is a monster? But...Jiang is not someone who would care about Concubine at all.
Let alone the Shen family who has been in the backyard for many years, even if Wei Heng now takes ten or eight more beautiful concubines, the Jiang family may not even move his eyebrows.
Wei Hanzhang's thoughts changed quickly and he asked, "Do you know why they are having conflicts?"
"I don't know," Wei Yunpei shook his head and said, "I can't see anything on their faces. It's just that they get along a little strangely. I can't ask my mother..."
As he spoke, he paused and said softly: "I don't dare to ask Dad."
As he spoke, he clearly looked like a young adult, but he was very afraid of his father.
Wei Hanzhang was a little funny when he heard this, but he didn't expect that Wei Heng was quite prestigious in front of his son.
She calmed down, patted her brother's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile: "I'll ask my mother-in-law later. Just pretend you don't know anything and read your book carefully."
Farewell to his younger brother, Wei Hanzhang stepped into Jiang's courtyard.
At this time, it was just after lunch. Mrs. Jiang was having tea. When she saw her daughter coming, she smiled and said, "Why did you think of coming to see A Niang instead of going to see Ying Niang and Lin Niang to play?"
Wei Hanzhang sat down next to his mother, pointed to the half-frame of lychees behind him, and said coquettishly: "The lychees that were just delivered from Lingnan in the morning are so sweet and fresh. After I tasted them, I wanted to give them to my mother-in-law." Try it, no, it’s coming right away.”
"I know you are filial." Looking at the pretty and lovely little girl, Jiang said with pity, "Ran Ran is so lovable, no wonder your grandmother loves you more."
Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, I can still imagine how beautiful her daughter turned out to be when she was a child. She is a pretty little girl with **** that look like dumplings. She doesn’t have to do anything but smile at you. People's hearts softened after seeing it.
No wonder her parents, who were so strict with rules, raised this granddaughter to be so arrogant.
Wei Hanzhang has long been accustomed to the doting of his elders. He didn't feel shy when he heard Jiang's praise. Instead, he looked sideways at the lychees he brought.
Mammy Zhou understood her master’s thoughts very well, so she immediately selected a bunch of fruits from the basket and served them to her.
Ms. Jiang peeled one herself. As soon as she took the sweet lychee into her mouth, her daughter's kindness made her smile even deeper.
Wei Hanzhang put his mother into a good mood with a few words, and then he opened his mouth to inquire: "Mom, what's bothering you recently?"
"...When did Ran Ran learn to be roundabout?" Mrs. Jiang put down the lychee shell, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, lightly tapped her daughter's eyebrows, and said angrily: "Is there anything else I should be careful about? Do you have anything to say?" If you ask, just ask directly.”
"Then I'll ask..." Wei Hanzhang diligently picked up a lychee and peeled it, and said directly: "Did you have a conflict with Dad?"
"It's not that serious. It's your father who wants to be sulky, so let him go."
Mrs. Jiang opened her mouth and ate the lychee peeled by her daughter, and said with a leisurely expression: "Now that your marriage has been decided, your brother's position as the heir apparent is also rock solid. The Jiang family will return to the capital soon. Apart from the fact that your elder sister is called my mother, I am worried." , I have no regrets anymore, I really have no idea what your father is thinking."
"..." It had long been obvious that Jiang, as the female supporting character in the original work, had never taken the male protagonist Wei Heng to heart, but after he really understood it, Wei Hanzhang was still stunned, "Although my daughter came back not long ago, I can see it these days. Dad has you in his heart."
