Chapter 10
Why did the Zhongyong Hou Mansion let Wei Hanshuang, the eldest roommate, be chosen instead of Wei Hanshuang, the second roommate, to compete? The reason was that Wei Hanyue was extremely beautiful. Before Wei Hanzhang came back, this person in the house was She is the most talented among the girls of her generation.
The fifth girl in the Zhongyong Hou Mansion became famous in the capital for her beauty. Before Wei Hanyue's accident, she was the only candidate who could compete with the eldest daughter of Anguo Duke's Mansion for the most beautiful woman in the capital.
Wei Hanzhang grew up in Xuzhou and didn't know much about the aristocratic families in the capital, and she didn't know much about the prince. She asked, "Have you decided on the crown prince now?"
"Never." Jiang's eyes showed pleasure: "Those people are almost fighting each other privately. They want to compete for the future position in the middle palace, but the prince is unwilling to get married, and even His Majesty has nothing to do."
There are still girls of the right age in the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, but their position with the Crown Princess is already out of reach. In this case, it is best for others not to sit on it.
Wei Hanzhang was a little stunned when she heard this. She never expected that the current prince would be such a wonderful person. As a future emperor, he didn't want to 'sacrifice his life for the country', so even if he had many heirs, he didn't even want one.
There is really a throne to be inherited. No wonder the emperor who is lingering on the sickbed is anxious.
Is there any hidden illness? Wei Hanzhang only thought about this question in his mind and did not dare to ask Jiang...
Seeing Mr. Jiang praising His Highness the Crown Prince again and again, who knows what real immortality and jade quality are, the demeanor of a gentleman, the pure and fragrant behavior...
He praised the prince so much that he was like a poisonous prince.
Wei Hanzhang was really curious as to what kind of person this prince was, so that a noble lady like Jiang could be full of praise.
However, she didn't quite agree with Jiang's description of the prince as 'unworldly'.
You must know that His Majesty has not been in charge for seven years, and those sentences of confiscation and exile were all ordered by the Crown Prince himself.
Only Wei Hanzhang knew about the Cao family, the Liu family, and the Li family in Xuzhou. With a wave of a pen, their heads fell to the ground, or they were exiled for three thousand miles. As for the female family members...
Thinking of Cao Xinrou, Wei Hanzhang's heart sank slightly. She knew that the Cao family had committed a serious crime. Cao Xinrou grew up with the Cao family's fine clothing and fine food. It was only natural that she would sit in the same seat if something happened to the Cao family, but after all, she had been handed a handkerchief since she was a child...
As sisters who grew up together, how could we not have compassion?
I don’t know where she is now or if we will ever see her again in this life.
…………
After resting for a while, the mother and daughter took each other to the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion.
The eldest uncle Qian Shi was already inside with Madam Hou, Liu Shi. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed to be getting along very harmoniously. There were three young and beautiful girls sitting below them.
They are the three sisters Wei Hanshuang, Wei Hanyu and Wei Hansu.
Seeing Jiang's mother and daughter arriving, Mrs. Liu first waved to Wei Hanzhang, then looked at her second daughter-in-law, and said with satisfaction: "My face looks much better today."
Mrs. Jiang felt deeply blessed and said, "My daughter-in-law is unfilial and makes my mother worry."
"It doesn't matter if I worry a little bit." Mrs. Liu held Wei Hanzhang's hand and patted it, "As long as you can figure it out, it's better than anything else. Pei'er has never been married, and Ran Ran has never been married. If you fall, they will lose you." Can you rest assured that my mother is taking care of you?"
There was another Wei Hanyue from the ancestral temple who Liu didn't mention, but everyone in the house had never forgotten it.
Jiang knew that her mother-in-law's words were sincerely comforting her, so she responded softly and said no more.
When Mrs. Liu saw that she was being taught, she turned her attention to her little granddaughter beside her and couldn't help but praise: "You should wear more fresh colors when you are spending your time. Look at Ran Ran in our family, she is really like a person in a painting." Jiang pursed her lips and smiled: "Mom, please stop praising her. Ran Ran has been manipulated to such an extent by her grandmother. If you praise her any more, her tail will rise to the sky."
"It doesn't matter if the girls in our family are a little arrogant," the aunt Qian said with a smile, "When Ran Ranchuchu returns home, who will be willing to punish her harshly if she doesn't indulge her?"
"..." Jiang was speechless, she was reluctant to lecture her daughter.
Mrs. Qian saw her motherly heart and smiled again: "She is already a hairpin girl. She will be pampered for a few years before she is married..."
Wei Hanzhang himself was not aware of the vague mention of marriage, while Wei Hanshuang and others sitting next to him blushed with embarrassment.
"Girls are thin-skinned, my eldest sister-in-law is really bad." After pretending to scold her, Jiang sent the sisters out: "Don't sit here with me, go play outside."
As soon as Wei Hanzhang and his sisters went out, Wei Hanshuang held his arm. She smiled and said, "If I had known that there was a sister growing up in the south of the Yangtze River, I would never have thought that she was an immortal."
"..." Wei Hanzhang was choked by these straightforward words, "Sixth sister, please stop teasing me."
Perhaps because of her mother's instructions, Wei Hanshuang was very attentive and accompanied Wei Hanzhang to visit the garden. On the contrary, Wei Hanyu, the son of a concubine, and Wei Hansu, the second concubine's daughter, remained silent and looked at Rouwan. He was gentle and just followed behind, adding a word from time to time.
Wei Hanshuang is the legitimate daughter of the prince, and her words and deeds are all models of a noble daughter. Wei Hanzhang originally thought that she would be uncomfortable getting along with such a sister. After all, she dislikes restraint, and she never thought that after a few words, the two sisters would hit it off.
The direct cousins are really close to each other, and after a few days, they have become such a friendship that they can sleep together.
Knowing that Wei Hanzhang had a sweetheart who grew up with him in Xuzhou, Wei Hanshuang asked carefully and confirmed that the Gu family would come to propose marriage soon. Wei Hanshuang smiled and said, "Ran Ran is really lucky to marry the one she loves."
Wei Hanzhang smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, good luck? If she is not the one she likes, she can do what Jiang said and treat her husband with respect, grow old hand in hand, and be a generous and virtuous mistress.
But how can someone who really cares be generous?
Wei Hanshuang's marriage has also been decided. He is the second son of the Yongle Marquis. The six rites have come to an end and he only needs to wait for the other party to choose a good date before they can get married.
Wei Hanzhang turned around, looked at his cousin's beautiful face, and asked curiously: "Has Sixth Sister ever met her future husband?"
"I have seen him before," Wei Hanshuang said warmly, "This dynasty does not advocate blind marriage and mute marriage. Since we started talking about marriage, he has often invited me to travel."
"Then..." Thinking of what she just said, Wei Hanzhang said: "But why is my sister dissatisfied with him?"
"It's nothing. My parents ordered the matchmaker. Since I am the daughter of the Wei family, my marriage should follow the family's arrangements."
Wei Hanshuang smiled and said: "We are getting married because the Wei family and the Shen family have two surnames. He does not dare to neglect me, and I only need his respect."
Ok…
It made sense, so much so that Wei Hanzhang suspected that he was the one who was wrong.
Since you are in a high family and have enjoyed the glory and wealth brought by your family, you must be prepared to safeguard this glory.
This is responsibility, there is so much mutual love.
Speaking of which, she seemed to be quite lucky. At least Gu Yunran treated her sincerely, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he obeyed her words.
Maybe she should be content? (End of this chapter)
