Chapter 153:
what to do?
Xiao Junzhan lowered his eyes and looked at her and said, "I have only liked you and never anyone else, so Ranran, don't like anyone else either, or I will be angry."
Hearing that something was wrong in his tone, Wei Hanzhang was not frightened. He leaned over and kissed his chin, and said with a smile, "Didn't I say 'what if' to you? I didn't say that I really didn't like you."
"No ifs," Xiao Junzhan held her waist, remained silent for a long time, and said slowly: "If Ran Ran really likes someone else, I don't know what I will do."
He was displeased when she was alone with Ning Hai, let alone falling in love with another man.
Wei Hanzhang usually loves to tease him the most. Seeing his serious face now, he even joked with a smile: "You are so jealous, you don't even allow what if..."
The waist tightened, and the person who turned around was already hugged and sat on his lap, and he was interrupted mid-sentence.
Xiao Junzhan looked at her carefully for a long time, his eyes were slightly cold, and he said: "Ran Ran, it doesn't matter if you act more nonsense or be more coquettish, but this is only one time, don't say it again in the future."
"...Oh." Wei Hanzhang accepted it and nodded obediently: "If you don't say it, don't say it. Brother Boqian really can't help teasing, and he can't even make a joke."
But she was beeping in her heart: She was used to acting up in front of him, she dared to say anything, and he was so bold that it was not all his fault.
Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of the current relationship between Jiang and Wei Heng. It was really neither embarrassing nor awkward, which made her, a child, unavoidably worried.
“That’s right,” Wei Hanzhang said dully, leaning his face against his chest and listening to the beating of his heart: “My father and mother had a fight, did you know?”
“…I’ve never heard of this.” The topic suddenly jumped to this point. Xiao Junzhan was slightly startled and asked, “What was the reason for the dispute?”
"It can't be called a dispute. My mother-in-law is gentle and generous. She has never had a dispute with my father in these years." Wei Hanzhang recalled Jiang's indifferent attitude towards Wei Heng, with a slightly subtle look on his face, and said, "I should say It’s my father who has become awkward for some reason.”
"You are both a man, please help me clarify my doubts." She sat up straight and stared at him with bright eyes: "A few days ago, my father sent away all the young concubines in the backyard, leaving only The next two are older and have not left the house to remarry."
Wei Hanzhang frowned slightly and asked tentatively: "Now there are only two concubines left in the backyard of Duke Wei's mansion. Why do you think my father is making such a fuss?"
Xiao Junzhan listened quietly and said, "How many concubines did your father have before?"
"I didn't grow up in the capital, so I don't know how many concubines he has used over the years."
Speaking of this, Wei Hanzhang responded somewhat to Jiang's defense, saying: "Anyway, after returning to Beijing, I have seen seven or eight famous concubines. In addition, my family also raised some dancing girls. I don't know. Did dad..."
Nowadays, it is a tradition for nobles to keep dancing girls, which are equivalent to domestic prostitutes. They are hired to serve guests during banquets. If the master takes a fancy to them, they can't help but enjoy them themselves.
The world is like this. Whether it is a famous concubine or a dancing girl raised in the family, in the eyes of men, they are all objects of pleasure. When they love, they use them to play with and enjoy themselves. When they are tired, they throw them away. As long as they are not interested in these 'objects' If you please your wife, you can be called a good man.
Sensing that the little girl was aggrieved, Xiao Junzhan pinched her waist and said, "Then what is your mother's attitude towards these concubine dancers? Have you never been angry because of them?"
Wei Hanzhang said: "I don't know what it was like before, but now my mother-in-law has looked away and doesn't mind at all. Since I returned to Beijing, my mother-in-law has been really kind and generous to those concubines. She has never deliberately treated them." Some of them know how to read and count, and my mother-in-law even asked them to help manage the accounts. "For concubines, it is more lucky to meet a kind mistress than to become the concubine of a husband. After all. As long as they behave themselves, even if they are not favored in Wei Heng's backyard, Jiang will not treat them badly.
So every time Wei Hanzhang went to Jingya Hall to pay his respects, he would see graceful concubines coming to Jiang's presence to express themselves early.
Those young girls cannot be said to be Wei Heng's concubines. Seriously speaking, they are simply gentle and petty interpreters around Jiang.
After hearing this, Xiao Junzhan nodded slightly and asked, "How many brothers and sisters do Ran Ran have?"
"One sister and two brothers." Wei Hanzhang said: "They are all born from the same concubine. My mother-in-law has served her for many years and has given birth to three children for the family. She has never made any mistakes and cannot bear to send her away. , is one of the second concubines left at home."
Given the number of children she has given birth to, Mrs. Shen must have been favored by Wei Heng for a while.
"...Mother Ran Ran is really virtuous and generous." Xiao Junzhan paused slightly, with a smile on his face, and said, "I guess your father was dissatisfied with her being so generous, which is why the quarrel broke out."
"...What?" Wei Hanzhang's eyes widened: "He already has a group of concubines. Wouldn't it be better for my mother to be generous, and he is still not satisfied?"
Xiao Junzhan lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and said warmly: "Silly girl, if you are so generous to me, I will definitely be more annoyed than your father."
Wei Hanzhang frowned and said, "Why are you comparing yourself to my father?"
"What I mean is... your father's feelings for your mother-in-law should not be the love between husband and wife who respect each other and support each other." Xiao Junzhan lowered his head, patted her little head helplessly, and asked: "But Just like my feelings for you, I can’t tolerate your generosity and virtuousness.”
"You are not allowed to compare with him. He has been a prodigal for most of his life. He has had many concubines in recent years and has given birth to many children." Wei Hanzhang was heartbroken and climbed up to his neck, saying: "You don't have any concubines around you. You should keep yourself clean for 20 years." I am the only one in Yu Niancai, so why should he compare with you?"
"What are you trying to do by comparing yourself to my father!" The more she spoke, the more annoyed she became. She bit him on the lip bitterly, "I can't tolerate sand in my eyes. How dare you be like my father? Other women give birth to children, then I..."
Xiao Junzhan raised his hand to wipe his lips and said, "How are you?"
"..." Wei Hanzhang slowly lowered his arms, paused for a long time, and whispered: "You are right, I can't do anything, I can't do anything to you."
“What did I say, and you said I was right?” Xiao Junzhan took her hand, put it to her lips, kissed it, and said with a smile: “It turns out that I am quite jealous of Ran Ran.”
His eyes and brows were filled with relief, and he seemed to be in a very happy mood. He lowered his head and wanted to kiss the girl in his arms, but his lips were covered and pushed away.
Wei Hanzhang said: "I am unhappy, please don't make trouble with me now."
The Chinese New Year is approaching and the sleep clock hasn’t been set back yet. It’s so hard for me...
