Xiao Junzhan is very busy. Even when she comes to the palace, there are many political affairs every day. At her age, she is the most lively and playful. He is reluctant to detain people in the palace, so no matter where she goes to play, even if she is Xiao Junzhan would go to her for a walk outside the palace.
One can imagine how wantonly Wei Hanzhang lived these days.
When everything goes well, it's like being in the clouds, almost floating.
On this day, another basket of tender and red lychees was sent from Chengming Hall. They said they were just sent as tribute from Lingnan, and they looked very fresh.
After Wei Hanzhang peeled off a few and tasted them, his eyes shone slightly, and he hurriedly called Lu Lan to pack out half of them and went to his parents' courtyard in the outer city, intending to borrow flowers and offer them to the Buddha to fulfill his filial piety.
When she went out, she looked in the direction of the side hall, turned her head and asked Luzhu: "Sister Qi is in the house, go and ask her if she wants to go with us."
Lu Zhu whispered: "Miss Qi went out early in the morning. She has been getting along well with Liniang from the Liuhou Mansion these days. She loves to go and play with her. I think it will be the same today."
"Oh?" Wei Hanzhang was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's right. The seventh sister should have made friends with noble ladies long ago and learned to go out to meet friends."
These days, she likes to invite ladies from acquaintances' families to come to the inner city from time to time, and she also wants to introduce some playmates to Wei Hansu.
After all, Wei Hansu was now a girl from the Duke's palace and the concubine of the Crown Princess. She shouldn't have been sitting in the backyard all day, being timid when meeting strangers.
Wei Hanzhang's attitude towards this concubine was not bad. When the other noble ladies met, they were naturally warm and attentive to Wei Hansu. No, the foot injury had just healed and they were all invited by their friends to go out for appointments.
It can be seen that the courage is also much greater.
After asking about Wei Hansu's absence, Wei Hanzhang took two personal maids in a sedan chair and went to his parents' courtyard in the outer city.
The courtyard divided into Duke Wei's Mansion was not far from the inner city. After a while, he saw the familiar courtyard wall. Wei Hanzhang got off the sedan chair and met his young brother.
Wei Yunpei is four years younger than her. He is an eleven-year-old young man. His facial features have grown and he is beginning to show his boyish handsomeness. He is studying in the Imperial College and Wei Hanzhang has been back in Beijing for the past few months. In fact, he has rarely been seen.
Wei Hanzhang felt some pity for this younger brother who died in the cold winter in the original work, perhaps because of his blood connection.
Wei Yunpei saluted her with his hands raised upright, his eyes showing intimacy.
Looking at this direction, Wei Yunpei had just come out of his parents' courtyard, and Wei Hanzhang was about to go in. The two siblings were not on their way, but since they met, Wei Hanzhang inevitably asked his younger brother a few questions with concern.
As the questions and answers continued, the unfamiliarity between the two people disappeared.
"Sister," Wei Yunpei suddenly whispered, "Dad and mother seem to be having a conflict, do you know?"
"What?" Wei Hanzhang was a little surprised, "What's going on? Did you see them quarreling?"
"I didn't see the quarrel, but..." Wei Yunpei whispered: "In short, something is not right with them."
Wei Hanzhang looked at his younger brother, who was almost as tall as himself, and felt a little doubtful when he saw his confident expression.
In fact, Jiang was really kind and generous, and Wei Heng's temperament had always been gentle. With so many things happening in the past few months since he returned to Beijing, Wei Hanzhang had never seen them blush.
She simply couldn't imagine what it would be like for her parents to quarrel.
We are an old married couple, and there have been many happy events in the family recently, so what else is worth arguing about?
Could it be that the heroine of the original novel is a monster? But...Jiang is not someone who would mind Concubine at all.
Let alone the Shen family who has been in the backyard for many years, even if Wei Heng now takes ten or eight more beautiful concubines, the Jiang family may not even move his eyebrows.
Wei Hanzhang's thoughts changed quickly and he asked, "Do you know why they are having conflicts?"
"I don't know," Wei Yunpei shook his head and said, "I can't see anything on their faces. It's just that their relationship is a bit strange. I can't ask my mother..."
As he said that, he paused and whispered, "I don't dare to ask Dad."
As he spoke, he clearly looked like a young adult, but he was very afraid of his father.
Wei Hanzhang was a little amused when he heard this, but he didn't expect Wei Heng to be quite prestigious in front of his son.
She calmed down, patted her brother's shoulder gently, and said with a smile, "I'll ask my mother-in-law later. Just pretend you don't know anything and read your book carefully."
After saying goodbye to his younger brother, Wei Hanzhang stepped into Jiang's courtyard.
It was just after lunch. Mrs. Jiang was having tea. When she saw her daughter coming, she smiled and said, "Why did you think of coming to see A Niang instead of going to see Ying Niang and Lin Niang to play with?"
Wei Hanzhang sat down next to his mother, pointed at the half-frame of lychees behind him, and said coquettishly: "The lychees that were just delivered from Lingnan in the morning are so sweet and fresh. After I tasted them, I thought about giving them to my mother-in-law." Try it, no, it’s coming right away.”
"I know you are filial." Looking at the pretty and adorable little girl, Jiang said with affection, "Ran Ran is so lovable. No wonder your grandmother loves you more."
Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, I can still imagine how beautiful her daughter turned out to be when she was a child. She was a pretty little girl, standing there like a dumpling with breasts. She didn’t have to do anything, she just smiled at you, and she was so happy. People's hearts softened after seeing it.
No wonder her parents, who were so strict with rules, raised this granddaughter to be so arrogant.
Wei Hanzhang had long been accustomed to the pampering of his elders. He didn't feel shy when he heard Jiang's praise. Instead, he looked sideways at the lychees he had brought.
Grandma Zhou understood her master's thoughts very well, so she immediately selected a bunch of fruits from the basket and served them to her.
Mrs. Jiang peeled one herself, and as soon as she took the sweet lychee into her mouth, her daughter's kindness made her smile even deeper.
Wei Hanzhang put his mother into a good mood with a few words, and then he opened his mouth to inquire: "Mom, what's bothering you recently?"
"...When did Ran Ran learn to be roundabout?" Mrs. Jiang put down the lychee shell, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, lightly tapped her daughter's eyebrows, and said angrily: "What else should I be careful about, my dearest sister? What do you have to say?" If you want to ask, just ask directly."
"Then let me ask..." Wei Hanzhang diligently picked up a lychee and peeled it, and said directly: "Did you have a conflict with Dad?"
"It's not that serious. It's your father who wants to be sulky, so let him do it."
Mrs. Jiang opened her mouth and ate the lychee peeled by her daughter, and said with a leisurely expression: "Now that your marriage has been decided, your brother's position as the heir apparent is also rock solid. The Jiang family will return to the capital soon. Apart from the fact that your elder sister is called my mother, I am worried." , I have no regrets for a long time, I really have no idea what your father is thinking."
"..." It had long been obvious that Jiang, as the female supporting character in the original work, had never trusted Wei Heng, the male protagonist, but after he really understood it, Wei Hanzhang was still stunned, "Although my daughter came back not long ago, I can see it these days. , Dad has you in his heart."
