NOVEL NEXT Chapter 61:
Wei Heng heard the accusation in his wife's words and thought of his father's words this morning. He smiled bitterly and said: "Madam, don't blame me. I don't want you to dissuade me. I have no other intention. It's just that my father-in-law has to be strong in his life and has great face..."
“Although he has been in office for more than ten years, he still has his old friends, colleagues and even political enemies in the capital..."
He did not continue speaking, but even if he said this, Jiang understood.
Whether it is an old friend or a colleague, even the loyal and brave Hou Weiping, who is a son and daughter-in-law, I am afraid that her father would not have the face to meet him now.
Raising a corrupt criminal, if he hadn't been an upright official in the past and still had some impression on the current prince, the Jiang family would have been exiled. Mr. Jiang would have no shame in reminiscing with his old friends. If the whole family hadn't been ill, I'm afraid he can't wait to leave for his hometown immediately.
Jiang was silent for a long time, sighed, and sent her husband away.
Her mother's family could not stay in the capital for more than a few days. Jiang was reluctant to give up, so she simply stayed with her children.
Although the whole family escaped, no one was in the mood to celebrate, and they all had dinner in their own courtyard.
Wei Hanzhang was dragged by Jiang Zhixue to the courtyard of the second bedroom. After greeting his second uncle and second aunt, he entered her boudoir.
The two sisters had not seen each other for a long time. On this early summer night, they fell asleep listening to the night wind outside the window.
Jiang Zhixue is the second among the sisters. She is the eldest daughter of the second wife of the Jiang family. She is one year younger than the eldest child, Jiang Zhiqin. They made an engagement last year when they had hair extensions. Before the wedding date came, something like this happened in the family. I don’t know if there will be any changes in the marriage.
The cousin's living precedent was in front of him. In the prison, he did not know what the future was. Jiang Zhixue still had no intention to think about his marriage when he was in the middle of the prison.
Now that the Jiang family has been pardoned, there is no fear for their lives...
Thinking about her life-long events, Jiang Zhixue was filled with worries. She rested her chin on her elbows, turned her head and looked at her little cousin's glistening side face under the candlelight, and said softly: "Ran Ran, I thought I would never see her again in this life." No more for you."
"..." Wei Hanzhang thought to herself, I went to see you secretly when you didn't know, but she couldn't say anything, so she had to pat her sister on the shoulder and comfort her: "How could it be? It's over. Okay, we still have a long time ahead.”
Her cousin has been introverted since she was a child, and likes to keep everything in her heart. To put it bluntly, she is sentimental and too timid. Such a temperament is not suitable for a high-ranking wife.
Her marriage had put her second uncle and his wife in a dilemma for a long time, but they finally decided to marry their daughter to her third cousin from her maternal ancestral home. They were all relatives and had grown up together. The person she married was not the eldest son, so there was no need to represent her husband. Communicate with the wives of each family.
Although the second aunt's natal family is just a merchant and is not worthy of being the legitimate daughter of an official family, the marriage was still decided for the sake of the daughter's comfort in the rest of her life.
Knowing that this cousin likes to have wild thoughts, Wei Hanzhang continued: "Cousin Xue, don't worry, the Jiang family is still the Jiang family of the past, you don't know, right? Anyone in the capital who knows about this matter, who doesn't say that my grandfather can escape this time , These are all the blessings accumulated in the past. His reputation as an honest official is not small, and it still leaves an impression on His Highness. "
"Seriously?" Jiang Zhixue paused slightly, opened her eyes a little, and said, "Do people outside really think so? Don't you mean to laugh at our family?"
"..." Wei Hanzhang was silent and nodded: "Yes, there are many officials from the Jiangnan department who have had trouble. Currently, only the Jiang family can be released from prison safely. You can think about how much preferential treatment this is."
That's what he said, but the power of God is unpredictable. Every move, word and deed of His Highness the Crown Prince may not be carefully scrutinized by the politicians in the court.
No one dares to think that His Highness the Crown Prince has a special regard for Mr. Jiang just because the Jiang family has been released safely. Even if there is some sweet love, this time should be over.
I'm afraid those who think this way are the majority, otherwise Weiping wouldn't even complain about his son coming to pick up his family.
In short, the Jiang family was still shaken after this battle. Wei Hanzhang's words made most of Jiang Zhixue's melancholy dissipate instantly, and a hint of joy appeared on her face. She asked curiously: "Ran Ran, you have been in the capital for so long and you are the daughter of the Hou family. Have you ever entered the palace to attend a palace banquet? ?”
"Never." Although Wei Hanzhang was confused, he still shook his head and said: "Since the late queen passed away and Your Majesty has not established a queen, the highest-ranking concubine in the palace is the Xian Concubine. She does not like the excitement. Besides, His Majesty's health I need to rest, there hasn’t been a banquet in the palace for many years.”
Hearing this, Jiang Zhixue's eyes showed regret: "I also want to ask you if you have met the current prince."
Wei Hanzhang was stunned, "Sister, what do you mean?"
Why are you interested in the prince?
"I'm just curious."
Jiang Zhixue said: "I grew up in a boudoir and heard about the name of the current prince. It is rumored that the prince has been personally taught by your majesty since he was a child. Since he took charge of the country at the age of eighteen, his reputation for diligence in government affairs and lenient kindness among his subordinates has spread throughout the world. Since Ran Ran returned to the capital early, so I naturally want to ask if you have seen him. "
As she spoke, she quietly came closer and whispered: "Also, I heard from my eldest cousin that His Royal Highness the Prince looks like Zhilan and is as noble as snow. He is the best young master in the world."
The eldest son of the Jiang family went to Beijing to take the exam a few years ago. I think I was lucky enough to meet the current prince, but...
Wei Hanzhang was silent for a few breaths, mistaking her somewhat nymphomaniac words for the girl Mu Qiang's mentality, just like those star-chasers in her previous life, facing a stranger, and her status is more valuable than ten thousand people. The man has a vision.
Although she doesn’t understand it, she respects it.
"…" Facing his cousin who looked at him expectantly, Wei Hanzhang said helplessly: "I really haven't seen her before."
"Okay, okay." Pushing her face, which was getting closer, Wei Hanzhang said, "Go to sleep. I haven't had a good rest these days. Fortunately, you still have the energy to talk about this."
Jiang Zhixue was more lively in front of sisters of the same age. Seeing that her little cousin didn't want to talk about this topic, she gave her a rather sad look and fell back to sleep on her own pillow.
…………
Wei Hanzhang didn't have the habit of recognizing her bed. She had a good night's sleep and slept until dawn.
Thinking about his grandmother, he hurriedly washed up and remembered that his grandmother liked her to wear fresh colors, so Wei Hanzhang specially put on a smoky pink gauze skirt.
When we arrived at the main hall, it was very lively.
Jiang had arrived early, and there were two uncles and aunts, who were chatting happily. They didn't look like the whole family was sick at all yesterday, and they looked like they had regained some of their strength.
