Chapter 141:
"You are still talking about what you are doing when you are old." Jiang didn't agree at all, and said: "As a mother, I just want you and your brothers to be safe and sound. As for the rest, let him be."
“A’niang!” Wei Hanzhang didn’t want her to talk about him like that, so he said seriously: “You’re only young, you’re still in your prime, you’re still young.”
"Okay, just take care of yourself. Don't worry about your parents' affairs." Jiang was very impressed by her daughter's consideration. She smiled and said, "Your father and I have been here like this for half our lives. What else can happen when you get old? "
"But..." Wei Hanzhang said subconsciously: "You sent away all my father's concubines. Isn't this an accident?"
"That's your father's fault, but you can't blame me." Jiang didn't intend to tell her daughter the details, but simply said: "He is very outrageous. Who has the patience to pay attention to him?"
His mother's careless tone made Wei Hanzhang completely speechless.
She finally figured it out. Wei Heng was planning to turn around as a prodigal son. He didn't even want a beautiful concubine, he just wanted to keep his wife and love her.
It’s a pity that his true intentions only received an “outrageous” comment from Jiang.
Wei Hanzhang comes from a girl's family. She is naturally closer to her mother and more sympathetic to Jiang's family.
Think about it like this: a husband-in-law who has been treating you politely and respectfully as a guest for half his life has many concubines and many concubine children, but at the end of the day he suddenly gets into trouble and wants to have feelings for you beyond the relationship between husband and wife.
…It’s indeed quite outrageous.
You can have whatever you want, nothing is so cheap.
Even if you are the male protagonist of the original work, it won’t work.
Thinking again of Jiang’s tragic ending in the original work…
Wei Hanzhang's last bit of sympathy for his biological father was gone, and instead he agreed: "My mother-in-law did the right thing. She really shouldn't pay attention to him."
“…You’re getting better quickly,” Jiang glanced sideways at her and said with a smile, “That’s your biological father.”
“My mother and I are the closest. No matter what my mother does, I will always stand by my mother’s side, even my own father.”
Wei Hanzhang took Jiang's hand and said: "If you ask me, Mom, you are still so young, rich, beautiful and have me. In fact, you don't have to wrong yourself at all. If you really can't live on, just divorce and find a few people." A younger and more considerate husband will serve you.”
Jiang didn't expect her to be so considerate. After staying for a long time, she finally realized how wanton this girl had been.
In the past, I only thought she was brave and sweet-tempered, but how could I know that she could be so bold?
According to the degree of openness of the current climate, there are indeed several noble ladies in Beijing who, due to various reasons, could not live in their husband's family or divorced their wives, and set up their own families with dowries and kept male pets to live their lives.
But it is probably rare for a daughter to support her mother and divorce her beloved son.
Wei Hanzhang touched his face and said carefully: "Why are you looking at your daughter like this... Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
“…There is nothing wrong with the words themselves,” after all, she had thought about it herself, but…
Jiang shook his head slightly and said, "My mother knows that you are filial, but this is a matter between me and your father. As a junior, you can't speak nonsense."
…
At this time, in the courtyard where Liuhou Mansion resides, several noble ladies who are waiting for marriage are performing the drinking order. Wei Hansu's face turned red and he was already a little drunk, but he always kept his purpose in mind.
Ever since Yingniang learned from Yingniang that the residences of important ministers were allocated in the palace, and that the courtyard next door to Liuhou Mansion was where Chen Guogong's family lived, Wei Hansu subconsciously got close to her. After his foot injury healed, he would visit her almost every day. I took a walk around the Liuhou Mansion, hoping to meet my sweetheart.
I was thinking wholeheartedly about whether I could establish some contact with the people in Chen Guogong's mansion and get closer to that person.
Today Yingniang is hosting a banquet for her close friends. I heard that two girls from Chen Guogong’s palace will be coming, so Wei Hansu will naturally not be absent.
At the banquet, in order to make friends with the girls from the Chen family and get some news about his sweetheart, Wei Hansu lost his usual timidity and took the initiative to talk to them.
The Wei family has just given birth to a princess, who is very popular, and Wei Hansu is the only girl waiting for a concubine in the Duke of Wei's palace. Being able to live with the princess in the inner city, it must be that the sisters have a good relationship, so the ladies in the palace They are all willing to compliment her a little more.
One party wanted to take the initiative to get close to her, and the other party was also willing to support her more. As they went back and forth, the banquet was full of laughter and chatter, and it was very lively.
During this time, the guests and hosts had a great time, toasting and drinking for several rounds. Wei Hansu was so drunk that he wanted to go out for some fresh air, so he helped his maid out of the private room.
Ever since she bumped into Chen Zishu here several times in a row, she knew that at this point in time, it was almost time for him to return home from the inner city.
Thinking of that majestic figure, Wei Hansu's already drunken face became even more flushed.
It was a coincidence that she was holding on to the hand of the maid before leaving the courtyard of the Marquis House. She looked up and saw the handsome man walking towards the green willow-covered corner.
The man is tall and slender, wearing a regular uniform with narrow sleeves and a jade belt that outlines his thin waist. His whole body is straight and straight, like a piece of brittle bamboo that cannot be bent.
Wei Hansu saw it many times, but still looked straight at it.
They are so destined. We have been here several times and we can meet them almost every time...
The young man over there also saw her, his steps lagged slightly, and he turned to another path as usual.
That way can also go back to Chen Guogong's Mansion.
…What a polite husband. He was afraid of offending her, so he deliberately avoided her.
Wei Hansu's heart was filled with sweetness. Normally, she would be satisfied just by taking a look from afar, but today, perhaps because she drank too much, before she could think about it, she heard herself calling out: "Prince Chen, wait a moment."
As soon as the words came out, not only did the man not far away paused, but even Wei Hansu himself, who was speaking out in Tang Dynasty, looked annoyed, for fear that his sweetheart would think that he was not reserved enough.
But when he thought of what Ran Ran told him that the girl should be more generous and timid than a petty person, Wei Hansu encouraged himself to straighten his back and walk towards the paused figure resolutely.
Here, Chen Zishu, who was called out, slowly turned around, glanced at the girl who came closer, and said, "Why are you calling me, girl?"
His expression was calm, his lips curved just right, and he was very polite. Wei Hansu's face turned redder, and his voice became softer unconsciously, "I'm here to say thank you. I was bitten by a snake that day and before I fell into coma. I saw you standing in front of me, you saved me... Since we met, Ran Ran and I should say thank you."
The girl looked shy and her voice was almost inaudible. If Chen Zishu hadn't been a master of all six arts, he might not have been able to hear her clearly.
He went back to his home these days, and almost every time he met the dressed-up Seventh Mother of the Wei Mansion, how could he not understand what she was thinking. (End of chapter)
