Chapter 233:
Since Wei Hanyue chose to change her appearance, she had to change her way of death.
Otherwise, the girls in the Wei family are all suffering from serious diseases, and it would not be appropriate to spread the word.
Thinking about it in her heart, she heard Jiang say: "After asking your sister, I went with your father to find your grandparents and tell them about this matter. It happened that your aunt was also there, and the six mothers wanted to separate. It’s all said and done.”
"Did you say it was my intention?" Wei Hanzhang raised his eyes: "What did they say?"
"Your grandfather originally didn't agree to let your sister out, but later he learned that you agreed, so he didn't say anything more," Jiang said, "It was just the matter of Liu Niang's desire to reconcile. He was worried that there was a girl in the Wei family who wanted to reconcile. , it’s harmful to your reputation, so I haven’t agreed yet.”
"There is no need for him to worry about my affairs." Wei Hanzhang was not willing to listen to such words. He said bluntly: "Sixth sister doesn't want to stay in the Shen family, so no one can force her. Grandfather refuses to let go, maybe because he wants to Do you want me to plead for mercy in person?”
She said the word 'please' very hard. Jiang laughed and said, "Your grandfather often asks about you, and he also wants to hold a family banquet and ask you to come over and have a chat."
Since the move, Wei Hanzhang has never seen Wei Ping and the Liu family again. Even when the wedding date was set, there were several messages from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, calls to talk to the house, and even Liu herself came to the Wei Guogong Mansion. , she never showed up.
Wei Ping wanted to take this opportunity to meet her, his granddaughter. It was normal.
Wei Hanzhang thought for a while and said, "Let's do it tomorrow. I'll go there with my father and mother for lunch tomorrow."
…
On the second day, mother and daughter entered the gate of Zhongyonghou Mansion. After walking a few steps, they saw Nanny Wu beside Mrs. Liu waiting by the arch of the inner courtyard.
Seeing them coming, Nanny Wu hurriedly greeted them, bowed very politely, with a warm smile on her face, and said: "The old lady got the news yesterday and has been eagerly looking forward to your arrival. The big kitchen has been busy since early in the morning. Yes, it’s all your favorite Jiangnan cuisine.”
These words were said to Wei Hanzhang. As Liu's right-hand confidant, Grandma Wu's attitude represented Liu's attitude. A few days ago, Grandma Wu was not like this towards their mother and daughter. complexion.
But he didn’t reach out to hit the smiling person. Wei Hanzhang nodded slightly in response.
There are six members of the Wei family. Last time we had a big banquet at home, and even the married daughter came back with her husband. But this time only two members of the direct line were gathered together, and the family members of the four concubines were not eligible to attend.
There are less than twenty people in the two rooms together, so the scale of this family dinner is not large.
Wei Ping sat at the top, looked at the two legitimate sons, stroked his beard and said: "You are brothers from the same mother. Although you live in separate houses now, if anyone encounters difficulties in the future, you must still look out for each other and help each other."
Brothers Wei Huan and Wei Heng looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Liu looked at the two children with a loving look on her face. Her eyes finally stopped on Wei Hanzhang, and she said warmly: "I heard that our family likes drinking. Grandma recently got a few jars of sweet ale. Try it. If you like it, , just take them all back.”
A maid came forward to pour wine.
Now that she's here, Wei Hanzhang has no intention of showing off. She smiles, picks up the wine glass, sniffs it, drinks it all, and says, "It tastes sweet and soothes the throat. It's indeed a good wine. Then I'll take a jar back with me." Bar."
Hearing this, Liu's face became more loving, and the grandfather and grandson smiled and said a few soft words to each other.
Everyone knows who the protagonist of this family dinner is. Seeing this scene, the atmosphere at the dinner suddenly became lively.
The servants danced, played music, pushed cups and changed cups. By the time the banquet was over, Wei Hanzhang was already tipsy.
The cousins in the eldest house had quietly left, and Wei Yunpei followed them out. Apart from her, there were only a few elders left in the banquet hall.
Wei Hanzhang knew that this was the beginning of the day's business, so she sat upright and patiently responded to Wei Pingliu's concerns with a few words.
But Mrs. Liu seemed to be addicted to Ci. Seeing that she was rubbing her eyebrows as if she felt uncomfortable, she looked worried and said, "But you drank too much and you have a headache?"
As she spoke, she repeatedly ordered the maid to bring sobering tea, with such eagerness that Wei Hanzhang felt even more uncomfortable.
She finally couldn't help it and said straight to the point: "I am indeed a little drunk, so let's settle the matter of Sixth Sister and Li as soon as possible, so that I can go back home and rest."
"You kid," Mrs. Liu was slightly startled and said angrily, "Can peace and separation be achieved casually? Your sixth sister has just lost her child and is resentful of the Shen family, so she is thinking about peace and separation. Wait. After a while, she will figure it out on her own."
“Yesterday I went to see the Marquis Yongle’s Mansion in person. The husband of the Shen family has already repented. I believe that after this experience, he will know how to pity his wife better in the future..."
"There is no need to say these things about the carriage," Wei Hanzhang interrupted: "If you two are worried that the Sixth Sister and the Queen will be criticized when she returns home, which will affect the reputation of the Wei Mansion, you can let her leave the capital to take shelter. Boss, after three or two years, no one will remember this, and it won’t be too late to come back.”
These words are actually very rude. A grandson is openly interfering in family affairs, and his tone can be called an order. Wei Ping, the leader of the Wei family who has the final say, will inevitably look a little ugly. However, he was worried that his granddaughter's identity was different from the past, so he didn't say anything, and just looked at the eldest son on one side calmly.
The Crown Prince Wei Huan understood and took the initiative: "Ran Ran's status is indeed valuable now, but after all, she is young and prone to being impulsive. This concerns your cousin's life. As a father, I cannot let you two do whatever you want."
He sincerely thinks about his daughter, fearing that her daughter will just decide to divorce due to temporary resentment, and will regret it later.
Marriage matters are decided by the parents, and there is no reason for the decision to be made by the cousin across the room.
Wei Heng refused to agree to this matter. Wei Hanzhang had been prepared for it. She could have forced the Shen family to agree to a divorce, but this was unreasonable.
She took a sip of the sober tea, thought for a moment, and said: "His Royal Highness told me earlier that he would take his ministers and servants to the paddocks on the outskirts of Beijing for hunting in the next two days. I wonder if my grandfather and uncle are there." Heard the news?"
Autumn Hunting, an event for the monarch and his ministers to travel, naturally needs to be planned in advance by the entourage. In addition, this is not news that needs to be kept secret, so those who are more knowledgeable in the court can almost know it in advance.
Of course Wei Ping has heard about it. Even if the prince is not friendly to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, the Wei family is definitely a relative of the emperor, so someone will always come to show his kindness.
Hearing her question, Wei Ping nodded slowly, and just as he was about to speak, Wei Hanzhang said again: "Then do you know if there is a marquis in the accompanying list?"
"What do you mean by Ran Ran's words?" Wei Ping paused slightly and his voice became lowered: "In previous years, His Highness took the Wei family with him for hunting in the paddock."
Wei Hanzhang didn't seem to notice that his tone was tight. He just smiled and said: "It was the past years, and now is now. Not only this autumn hunting, but also all the celebrations, palace banquets, and events held by the royal family in the future." It’s hard to say if you can’t attend the meeting after receiving the imperial decree.”
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became quiet.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically. Except for Jiang, who was still calm, all the Wei family members, including Wei Heng, had ugly expressions.
This is already a clear sign.
If you don't listen to her, let alone using the name of the Crown Princess's mother's family to improve the Wei family and squeeze into the top aristocratic families, even the treatment you could get before will be lost.
Wei Heng opened his mouth to say something, but stopped when he saw his wife's indifferent expression.
The others did not dare to interrupt easily. In the end, Wei Ping, with a livid face and trembling lips, said, "Your surname is also Wei! Do you know what others will say about you if these words spread?"
Wei Hanzhang put down the hand that was rubbing his eyebrows, called his grandfather gently, and said slowly: "You just care too much about other people's opinions, but I am different. This does not threaten me. In my eyes, no matter what other people think, "It's not that important, at least, it's not important enough for me to ignore Sixth Sister."
Didn't Xiao Boqian say that he is the propriety and the rules? Even if he refers to a deer as a horse, others will just follow suit and refer to it as a horse.
A person can live as long as he wants, so why should he look forward and backward and live within the framework set by the secular world?
During the few months she spent in Zhongyonghou Mansion, she was deeply influenced by the Liu family of Weiping. If Luzhu hadn't pointed it out, she would have almost forgotten how wanton she was before.
How can every word be inconsistent with the rules?
After saying what should be said, Wei Hanzhang stood up, blessed himself slightly, and said: "I hope that tomorrow, my family can go to the Shen family, express their attitude of peace, and bring Sixth Sister back."
"If you can find anything useful, sister-in-law, just come and find me next door. I'll go with you anytime I'm free." Ms. Jiang also stood up and said softly: "The husband of the Shen family behaves so out of tune. Our family feels sorry for the girl. Asking for reconciliation, no matter who listens, can’t make a mistake.”
Seeing that her daughter-in-law not only did not stop her, but instead helped her to agree, Mrs. Liu was so angry that she held her chest and raised her fingers tremblingly. When she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Wei Ping who raised his hand.
“I know you have some resentment and estrangement towards your family, but I didn’t expect it to reach this level.”
His calm expression gradually loosened, and he said slowly: "In the past, your grandmother and I may not have cared about your feelings in our words and deeds, but you are our direct grandson, and we always sincerely care for you. We are all one family. Man, if you still have any dissatisfaction, you might as well say it once and for all, so as not to make people laugh at our Wei family for being disloyal in the future."
"You are worrying too much. I am not dissatisfied with you," Wei Hanzhang shook his head and said, "It's just that I have a good relationship with Sixth Sister and I can't bear to see her wasting her years in the Shen family. Since I have the ability, I must help her." ”
"How can you be sure that this is helping her and not harming her?" Mrs. Liu said: "Liu Niang and Li Hou, what kind of family do you think she can marry? If you want to be quick for a while, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
She obviously has an ancestral affection for Wei Hanshuang, her granddaughter. What she said was true and sincere, and she didn't even bother to soften her expression. Her tone was almost questioning.
Wei Hanzhang was not annoyed at all, but replied seriously: "I don't know if she will regret it in the future if we make peace with each other, but I know that if we don't make peace with each other, she will never be happy in her life. Worrying too much will make her nervous. Sixth sister is the only one." How long has it been since I married into the Shen family? My whole body has become wilted. In a few years, it’s hard to say whether I will still be alive.” (End of Chapter)
