Chapter 208:
Old Zhao only thought that 'something happened' was just a few words between the young couple, so she didn't ask in detail, but laughed and said: "That's good, ever since I knew that Ran Ran came together to save the Jiang family. After His Highness had some interactions, he became very worried..."
What can you worry about?
I am not worried that this Qianjiao Passion girl, in order to save the two old bones of them, violates her own mind, and put it on the second half of her life.
Wei Hanzhang was surprised and said: "Why do you think so? Your Highness and I have been in love with each other since the beginning. We are already much better than others. Why should we be dissatisfied?"
"Yes, happiness between two people is a blessing that many people can't hope for." Old Zhao looked at the eldest daughter aside and said softly: "I just hope that my Ran Ran will keep this blessing and not marry your mother." Just like that, I spent half my life making do.”
Seeing that the topic suddenly came to her, Jiang was confused and said, "Mom, what did you say in front of the child?"
"Where are the children?" Old Zhao's eyes were sharp. He had already noticed the subtle changes in her granddaughter's posture and demeanor. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said warmly: "Has the wedding date been set? It's true that we don't have children."
“Grandma!”
Wei Hanzhang was shocked and ashamed. He stood up suddenly, and was held by old Zhao's arm and sat down again. The old man smiled and said: "Now you know how to be shy? You and your highness..."
"No!" Wei Hanzhang blushed and said quickly: "Nothing, he is not married yet, he will not do anything he shouldn't do."
Old Zhao looked a little surprised, "Is this really so?"
"..." Wei Hanzhang was silent, even a little embarrassed and angry. He simply rolled up his sleeves, picked at the small scarlet mole, and said, "How could I lie to you? He...he...he just..."
She really couldn't speak any more, so she simply shut up.
Seeing that her granddaughter was still in perfect condition, Mrs. Zhao thought that she had made a mistake, and when she heard her words behind her, she laughed: "In this case, I believe that His Highness treats you really well."
Men, especially men who hold the power of life and death and are more than ten thousand men, are used to being arbitrary and arbitrary. How can they know how to be patient and restrained?
There is no need for him to be forbearing and restrained.
Not to mention His Majesty the Crown Prince, but also any young master from an aristocratic family in this capital, I am afraid that since he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he has never experienced the feeling of not being able to get what he wants in matters between men and women.
Since ancient times, men have always been obsessed with lust. Usually, if a man has a few extra bucks of money, he will wander around the streets and willow lanes for a few days. But for those with some status, their concubines will carry them to the backyard one by one.
But your Highness is interested in Ran Ran...
How can we not be considerate of love if we are so careful, protective, forbearing and restrained?
Her expression softened, thinking that her granddaughter's change of heart was because she was at odds with His Highness. She got angry for a moment and taught her in a gentle voice: "His Highness treats you so dearly. You must not be indulgent and willful, but you must also try to be nicer to him." ”
Hearing this, Wei Hanzhang didn't know what to say, so he simply pursed his lips and remained silent.
Old Zhao was still saying slowly: "Your Highness is ten years older than you, and will be twenty-six after the new year. You can wait slowly, but Your Highness may not be able to wait..."
Wei Hanzhang vaguely understood what she meant, his face flushed even more, and he said angrily: "Why can't I wait any longer? Didn't I come here twenty-five years ago?" It would be so painful!
Mrs. Jiang was peeling the fruit and watching her mother teach her daughter. When she heard these words, she couldn't help laughing. She nodded her little girl's eyebrows and said, "You heartless person. Previously, His Highness was focused on government affairs and had no one else in his eyes or heart." , how can it be the same now?”
She had long been convinced that His Highness had given all his heart to her daughter. Seeing her enemy's indifferent attitude, she pointed out: "Did you know that at this age, your father has several concubines, but His Highness only has one in his heart, you?" How difficult is it?”
“…” Being lectured by his grandmother and mother in turn, Wei Hanzhang simply said nothing and kept his mouth shut.
Lao Zhao suddenly said: "I also took a look at it a few years ago."
These words were somewhat inexplicable, and both Wei Hanzhang and Jiang were surprised.
Mr. Jiang gave the peeled fruit to his mother and said, "My mother-in-law is very discerning and has a pair of wise eyes. How could she ever see something wrong?"
“Yeah, I saw her once and she hooked up with a good girl for me.”
Mrs. Zhao took the fruit from her daughter, twisted a piece into her mouth, chewed it slowly and swallowed it, and then said to her granddaughter slowly: "Your mother was the eldest daughter of the family back then, and her marriage had to be arranged for her younger brother. My sister’s starting point cannot be too low.”
She was already over sixty years old, and her temples were white. When she narrowed her eyes slightly, she had the wisdom of an old man. At this time, she showed some gratitude: "At that time, your grandfather had been appointed as the second-rank secretary of the middle school. The Jiang family was not low in the capital. You My mother and daughter-in-law are well-known as virtuous people, and those who want to propose a marriage with the Jiang family are almost on the verge of crossing the threshold. Wei Heng, the second son of the Hou family who is not a prince, is really not the best candidate. "
Mr. Jiang felt a little uncomfortable mentioning those years in front of her daughter, "I'm already this age, why are you bringing this up?"
Old Mrs. Zhao glanced at her and sighed: "I made a mistake and held it in for all these years. No one can talk to me. Now you won't let me tell Ran Ran?"
Jiang was silent.
Wei Hanzhang blinked and did not dare to interrupt.
Old Zhao said: "Back then, your father had a handsome face and stood out among the candidates. Qin also came to Jiang Mansion. I took the exam seriously and passed the school. I was really wrong. I actually thought that Of all the people, he is the most sincere to your mother.
Speaking of this, she paused for a moment before continuing: "Who would have thought that less than a month after the marriage, when it was time to mix the honey with oil, your mother proposed to take a concubine for him, and he was not even polite. I immediately accepted it.”
Although it is common practice for men to take concubines nowadays, there is still a rule for serious families not to take concubines for three years after marriage, which can be regarded as a favor to the official wife.
If you meet a virtuous person, you will take the initiative to bring up concubines for your husband during the wedding period. No matter how happy the man is in his heart, he will politely refuse it. After several times, he will accept it.
Hypocrisy or not, this is the normal situation for marriages among well-matched families in aristocratic families.
Wei Hanzhang knew a little about the matter of newly married concubines, so he weakly defended his father: "It seems to be a previous marriage."
Old Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly: "The next few people didn't see him reject it. After half a year of marriage, there are three concubines in the backyard. This is not enough. I was transferred to another place for two years. Your mother also arranged for maids to accompany you and serve you, but he He took a concubine and carried the child into the house. This is really a good son-in-law that I like. "
As long as there are some rules, the concubine must be approved by the mistress. If a concubine wants to have children, she must also get the approval of the mistress.
