LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 8:
Chapter 8
Jiang waved her hand to signal the two concubines to step back, took her daughter's hand and said, "Did you find a bed last night? How did you sleep?"
"Everything is fine," perhaps because of the blood connection, Wei Hanzhang felt friendly when she saw Jiang. She smiled and said, "How is your sleep, mother? You should get well soon."
"I am so lucky. Your mother's body will feel lighter as soon as you come back." Mrs. Jiang stroked her daughter's long hair and asked in a low voice, "Why did you pay so much attention to your father's aunt just now?"
Wei Hanzhang couldn't say that he liked the heroine. He only smiled and said: "It's my first time coming home, and everything I see is new."
Her daughter's casual words reminded Jiang again of the pain of separation.
Her eyes were full of guilt: "It's all my fault that my mother didn't sit firmly when she was pregnant with you. As a result, my baby was born with a weak disease. When I was born, I was so weak that I couldn't even cry. Your grandfather invited all the royal doctors in the palace." I came here several times, but still at a loss, so a wandering monk suggested that I try to stay outside.”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Jiang felt a little emotional: "Your grandmother heard about you, so she sent your second uncle to bring her autographed letter. Your second uncle took you to Xuzhou when you were less than one year old, and now you are here again. He will send you back personally."
When she went there, she was carrying a baby in swaddling clothes who might die at any time. When she came back, she was given a healthy and excellent daughter. Mrs. Jiang was extremely grateful to her family.
She couldn't help but shed another tear when she brought up old things again. Wei Hanzhang persuaded her and looked at her daughter who had just returned to her side and was about to get her haircut.
As she watched, Jiang's face gradually became a little strange, and she said angrily: "That guy from the Gu family doesn't know what he looks like, yet he wants to hire my Ran Ran."
The daughter who was as delicate as a flower had just come back and was about to get married. The more Jiang thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but pretend to be serious and said: "Ran Ran, you have to listen to your mother about this. Stay at home for a few more years until you are eighteen." Talk about leaving the cabinet.”
Wei Hanzhang didn't expect to hear Gu Yunran from Jiang's mouth, and was a little stunned for a moment...
"Why, you don't think you can hide the matter between you and that boy from the Gu family from your mother, do you?"
Mrs. Jiang tapped her daughter's eyebrows and said with a smile: "Your grandmother has told mother everything. Mother is not a bad person who beats mandarin ducks. Years ago, the Gu family asked someone to come to the door, so I agreed to the marriage. It's just that the wedding date is not the same. Urgent, let’s wait for three years.”
The Gu family is a family of officials, and Gu Yunran is the eldest son of the eldest son. His father is the governor of Xuzhou and is a powerful feudal official. It is not considered a high position to be married to the youngest daughter of the second wife of the Marquis Mansion.
This marriage was approved by all the Marquis Zhongyong.
And Wei Hanzhang was startled by this sudden message: "Do you accept this marriage?"
Seeing her surprise, Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "That is the eldest son of the Gu family. He is over seventeen years old. When he is old enough to get engaged, he naturally has to ask people who are familiar with both families to come and ask about our family. I Now that I have agreed, let’s wait for their family to prepare the betrothal gift and formally come to propose marriage.”
Even if they were childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts, they would still have to pass the six rites. If it is not officially decided, what if the daughter-in-law runs away? Jiang Shi understands the attitude of the Gu family very well.
Turning her head to see her daughter's stunned expression, she realized something was wrong. She quickly took her daughter in her arms and asked with concern: "You look like this, but why are you having trouble with him?"
If it was twenty days ago, Wei Hanzhang would have been happy to hear that her marriage to Gu Yunran was going through the process, but now...
Wei Hanzhang lowered his eyes and leaned in Jiang's arms, and said gloomily: "A few days before I came to the capital, I learned that he had two wives who were chosen by his mother."
"What do I mean?" Mrs. Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "They are just two maids. What do you want to argue with them? If you come in, you will be the eldest daughter-in-law of his Gu family. He is the wife of the whole family. He will definitely I won’t insult your face for the sake of two maids.”
These words again... Just something for fun...
Treat them as two objects...
It won’t be an eyesore to you…
Even though he grew up in this world, Wei Hanzhang still couldn't accept that living people, women being held by their husbands while sleeping, were called objects.
“Mother,” Wei Hanzhang called softly, raised his eyes and said, “Yesterday I saw that my father had many concubines. Do you really not mind at all?”
"What's the point of minding this?" Mrs. Jiang had a rare opportunity to teach her daughter, and said patiently: "Ran Ran, look at the Lin family and Shen family who were here just now. They not only have to serve your father, they also have to serve me. Once the service is no longer good, Carefully, I can sell them without your father's consent."
Jiang said with a smile: "Why should Ran Ran care about people who hold their wealth and life in their hands?"
this…
Wei Hanzhang smiled bitterly, this is not the same thing at all.
She simply said bluntly: "My daughter only knows that no one else is allowed to get into the things that I really love, let alone Gu Yunran, who grew up with me. She can't even look at other girls." ”
She has been used to being domineering since she was a child, and other things are okay. Once she gets interested, she has absolutely no intention of sharing.
If it is really a blind marriage, even if she doesn't give any emotion, she can still not care about it, and only her wife's honor will be enough.
But that was Gu Yunran, the one she had grown up with and had a deep relationship with.
There was silence in the room for a long time. Jiang looked at her daughter's delicate face and felt a little worried. She really didn't expect that her mother-in-law had manipulated her daughter into such a careless temper.
"But there is no such man in the world," she said earnestly: "Even an ordinary farmer would go to the Fireworks Willow Alley to hang out for a few days in a good harvest year and have a few extra bucks. Who of the noble gentlemen like us wouldn't? There were people around me when I was sixteen or seventeen years old.”
“My son, please don’t get into trouble. For a wife, her husband’s respect is more reliable than illusory love.”
Jiang's tone was always gentle: "You and he grew up together since childhood, and their friendship is even more different. You are also from a marquis mansion, and you will get married in the future. He will never and dare not treat you coldly. As long as you stand up for yourself, he will It doesn’t matter how many concubines there are in the backyard.”
"You respect each other and support each other, and this is how you live your whole life. Those concubines will not be included in the family tree when they are born, and they will not enter the ancestral graves when they die. What does it matter whether he likes them or not?"
“…” Wei Hanzhang was silent.
Jiang continued: "If you really encounter someone who is ignorant, just sell it out and find a few more honest people to take in and keep the peace in the backyard."
"Mr. Shen, whom you just met, has two sons and one daughter. She still comes to serve me every day before dawn, and is extremely respectful. Your father treats her a little bit differently, but he has never laid eggs for me because of my concubine. Face.”
Wei Hanzhang was speechless after listening to Jiang's teachings.
It is as natural for high-class ladies to find women for their husbands as they do to buy clothes. Will she also take the initiative to take concubines for Gu Yunran in the future?
