Chapter 6
It was not until Wei Hanzhang and Wei Yunpei were born that Jiang stopped using the concubines' decoctions, and Shen was able to give birth to two concubines.
At this time, the Jiang family had both children and her natal family to rely on. Her position as mistress was rock solid. How could she predict that Shen would replace her in the future.
Thinking of this, Wei Hanzhang frowned slightly. Since she had been favored by Sheng, she decided not to let her biological mother be taken away by a concubine.
Even if this concubine is the heroine of the original novel.
It was outrageous to say that not to mention the very strict rules of the Hou Mansion, even an ordinary official family would not be able to have a concubine to straighten it up. She wanted to see what kind of person this Shen was.
Unfortunately, neither Wei Heng nor Jiang had any plans to let their daughter get acquainted with their father's concubines.
When the slaves and concubines paid tribute to Wei Hanzhang, Jiang introduced her two concubines to Wei Heng, and the presence of Wei Heng's concubines was not even as big as the slaves who had the honor.
At least several of Jiang's bridesmaids had the opportunity to raise their heads and recognize the young master, while several of the concubines were driven away early.
When only a few confidants were left in the main room, Jiang took her daughter in her arms again and looked at her carefully, calling her 'my son' repeatedly.
Wei Heng on the side was different from his wife. His expression was more restrained, but he never took his eyes away from the young girl.
The daughter is extremely beautiful, and her temperament seems to be generous and not too petty. Even if she doesn't look at her appearance, her general demeanor is definitely one of the best among the noble girls in the capital.
If it comes to color, I'm afraid the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital will change hands.
Wei Hanzhang was actually not used to this kind of scene. Speaking of which, the couple were almost strangers to her, but she couldn't help but blush when they looked at them so lovingly.
These are her parents in this life. Although she did not grow up under their knees, there is a reason for it.
Over the years, Wei Hanzhang's birthday has not been forgotten here in the capital. Including her sister-in-law, she receives a lot of good things every year.
Thinking of my sister, Wei Hanyue, the female cannon fodder who lost her reputation at the beginning of the article, has been really good to her, a younger sister, over the years, and she has been exchanging letters constantly.
Afraid that her sister would feel unfamiliar when she returned home in the future, Wei Hanyue often talked about her experiences in the capital in her letters. Whether it was trivial matters at home or the excitement in other people's houses, as long as she thought of it, she would write to her sister.
Wei Hanzhang wanted to ask if he could go see his eldest sister, but he stopped talking when he saw Jiang's tears that he had just wiped away.
Now that she has arrived, she has a long way to go. As long as she has the ability, she will never watch the sister who she has never met but has always cared for her stay in the Buddhist temple for the rest of her life.
The family of three chatted for a long time, with Wei Heng and Jiang asking about their daughter's life in the Jiang family these years.
Wei Hanzhang picked up a few interesting childhood stories and told them. She was loved by the Jiang family. Looking at the entire aristocratic family in Xuzhou, no matter which family she went to as a guest, she had never been treated coldly. She had never suffered at all in her whole life. Naturally, there is nothing to hide.
Jiang felt happy and sad at the same time when she saw the young girl's very logical reply and the pampered look on her face.
I'm happy that my daughter has been raised so well, but I'm also sad that I didn't get to watch her grow up with my own eyes.
We continued chatting until the sky turned dark unconsciously and it was almost dinner time. Wei Yunpei interrupted the conversation when he returned from studying at the Imperial College.
Jiang waved to his son who trotted in and said to Wei Hanzhang, "This is your biological brother. He is four years younger than you and is studying in the Imperial College."
Wei Heng was not as kind to his son as he was to his daughter. He said with a serious face, "I haven't come over to meet your sister yet."
Wei Yunpei looked like a shy young master, and he was curious and shy about Wei Hanzhang, the beautiful sister-in-law whom he met for the first took a few steps closer, bowed politely, and said hello softly.
You wouldn't know it just by looking at it, but when the two siblings stand together, you realize that they look somewhat similar.
Auntie Zhou next to her said jokingly: "After all, we are compatriots from the same mother. Look at our ninth lady and sixth son's face, they are [-]% similar."
Ten percent is fake, but there are still three or four points.
Wei Hanzhang looked at her blood brother. She didn't remember the content of the book very clearly, but she still had some impressions of the important plot. If she remembered correctly, this was the only legitimate son of the Jiang family who died of drowning in the original book, and also the one who was crushed. Jiang's last straw.
The specific time of the accident was not written in the book. It only described that in the "twelfth lunar month of winter", his clothes sank when exposed to water. The slaves were unable to rescue him, and he died of a high fever after being fished out.
It's early spring now. If I'm not wrong, this year's twelfth lunar month will be...
Her daughter entered the family temple and her son died unexpectedly. The Jiang family no longer had any spiritual support, let alone managing the back house. She was even hopeless. If she hadn't been afraid that her daughter would no longer have anyone to take care of her after her death, she would have followed her son. went.
This is the biggest reason why Concubine Shen Yue is able to rise to the top.
Nothing can happen to my brother!
Wei Hanzhang quickly made up her mind. She looked at the younger brother who died young in the original work with some affection in her heart: "I have heard that you are good at reading. My sister specially brought you some of the best inkstones in Xuzhou and will give them to you tomorrow. "
Wei Yunpei's eyes brightened slightly: "Do you have Hui Inkstone?"
Wei Hanzhang nodded and said softly: "Yes, I brought Yunzhou rice paper to you as well."
Jiangnan paper inkstones are famous for their quality, and Xuzhou's inkstones and Yunzhou's paper are even more outstanding.
The Zhongyong Hou Mansion is full of good things, but Hui Inkstone is rare after all. Wei Yunpei stood up straight and wanted to get it now.
Naturally, Wei Hanzhang would not refuse and asked Luzhu to open the box and get it.
The two siblings were so close to each other just after they met. The Wei Heng Jiang family looked at each other and both showed long-lost smiles.
The family of four looked at it happily, and their relationship was very harmonious.
Dinner was served in the main room, and none of the concubines were eligible to attend.
It can be seen from the table that Jiang is careful. She is afraid that Wei Hanzhang will not be used to the food when he returns home. Most of them are Jiangnan cuisine. If it were not for her frail health, she would have cooked a few dishes herself.
Wei Hanzhang finished half a bowl of porridge, and his face looked sleepy. After dinner, Jiang was ready to take his daughter to the yard prepared for her.
But she had not recovered from her serious illness, and she had been crying for a long time because of her emotional ups and downs. She just stood up and fell to the ground. She was supported by Wei Heng with quick eyes and hands, and he neatly carried her into the inner room.
After the chaos, Jiang woke up. She said that she was useless and had no choice but to send Aunt Zhou to take her daughter back to her yard.
"We have been tired of traveling and traveling these days, so go back and rest early." Wei Heng supported his wife in his arms, turned around and warned his daughter gently: "There is no need to be polite at home, you can get up whenever you want to sleep tomorrow. "
