Chapter 626: Mother's Family Humiliated
Early the next morning, Wei Yao packed up and stopped, and asked the court order for a day off, and then walked out of the deep Taiji Palace by the palace forbidden corner gate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć As soon as info left the confines of the palace wall, she was so shaken by the sunlight that she couldn't open her eyes, and subconsciously raised her arms to block the blazing sunlight with her sleeves.
The palace walls in the Taiji Palace are tall, the palaces and pavilions are next to each other, which is already solemn and cold, and the court office is crowded and narrow, and it is rare to see the sun in some places throughout the year. After getting used to this deep and cold environment, Wei Wei was a little difficult to adapt to just seeing such a blazing sunshine.
After half a year, Wei Wei walked on the streets of Chang'an again, and there was an illusion that she was in a different world, this street market was still the street market of the past, but there was an indescribable strangeness in her eyes. In the past, she was the daughter of the prime minister, and she hugged each other before and after traveling with chariots and horses, and the people she interacted with were either princesses, county lords or high-ranking officials.
But look at it now, not to mention the single figure, she is no longer wearing a luxurious and graceful gauze skirt, except for an ordinary cloth skirt, there are no ornaments on her body, and no one can recognize her as a noble lady who has attracted the attention of all people.
However, these ups and downs of life are not the most painful for her, and she can't find a good person to be a wound that has never been able to heal in her heart. In the past, the thoughts of these daughters' families have become the spice that embellishes their lives. But since the earth-shaking upheaval in life, the flavoring agent has immediately been infinitely amplified, and it has become a source of pain that is difficult to ignore all the time.
After walking on the street for a while, Wei Wei felt soreness in her legs and feet, and had to stop to relieve her physical exhaustion. Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves and rebuke was heard, and then a great force pulled her towards the side of the road. When she reacted, she realized that a carriage had sped away from her side.
It was a passer-by who helped in times of crisis, and if he slowed down half a step, the consequences would be unimaginable. Driven by fear, Wei Yao's face turned pale, but she still thanked the passer-by with a slight blessing. The passer-by grinned innocently, only said that it was instinct to help, and then walked away.
In the past, when I went out, I either took a car or rode a horse, but today I walk on two legs, and it is so difficult to walk.
In this way, Wei Wei rested on the side of the road for a while and walked to the square where her father's mansion was located. It's just that after experiencing the collision of the carriage, she no longer dares to be careless, for fear that the intersection will suddenly rush out again, and the carriage will be reckless.
Looking at the bustling street, Wei Wei couldn't help but sigh secretly, in the past, he only felt that galloping on the streets of Chang'an was a very fun and happy thing. Whenever I ride a car, I only hate the driver driving too slowly, and the horse is constantly whipping up the horse. Now I know how dangerous it is for passers-by on the streets.
Often, if you change the perspective of the same thing, the feeling you get is very different.
Since Wei Yao's identity and status have plummeted, such different perceptions abound.
Wei Jiansu's mansion is still in Shengye Fang, which is the old mansion in the past. Looking at the Qin Mansion across the road, it is still in ruins, although there are a lot of wood and stones outside, and it is obvious that the repair process is not fast.
Wei Wei was slightly surprised, Qin Jin was the first hero of the Battle of Chang'an, and now he is the most trusted minister by the side of the Son of Heaven, why is it so procrastinating to repair a mansion?
In the Wei Mansion, although the appearance of the small building facing the street is dilapidated, it is still standing there. remembered that he was in this small building every day before, just to see him, and it was like a world away. Now, he is only one step away from a supreme minister, and he will not be able to help secretly in the future.
Wei Wan didn't know if her father would let her enter the door, but in order to see her brother for the last time, she always had to come to the door in person. Fortunately, the servant guarding the door was still the old slave of the Wei family, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red when he saw her. No one in the house knew Wei Yao's whereabouts, and they all thought that she had suffered misfortune after the chaos was burned and looted.
Besides, before the Chang'an Rebellion, Wei Jiansu had already made up his mind and expelled Wei Jian from his home and let him live in another mansion. Therefore, after Wei Kui returned to Chang'an, although he was sick, he still sent many domestic slaves to look around, but he found nothing except the burned mansion.
After learning that Ah Mei didn't know her life and death, Wei Wei was very sad, so her illness became more and more serious.
Now seeing Wei Wan suddenly appear, the old slave cried with joy and couldn't say a word.
In the end, Wei Jiansu did not stop this daughter from entering the house to visit Wei Wei, and when Wei Wei appeared in front of Wei Wei's sickbed, she could hardly believe her eyes. The once suave brother is still described as withered, so thin that he has lost his appearance.
"Brother, brother......"
Before a word was spoken, Wei Wan couldn't cry anymore.
At this time, Wei Wei was still in a half-asleep haze, he vaguely heard Ah Mei calling for himself, and thought that he had not long passed away, and he had seen a vision.
This realization made Wei Wei both sad and happy, sad that he was finally going to say goodbye to this world, and happy that maybe he could find his most distressed sister in another world.
The eyes opened, and the line of sight gradually became clear and bright, and sure enough, Wei Yao's voice and smile appeared.
Wei Wei smiled:
"Where is my sister going to be free, do you know how difficult it is for my brother to find you......"
Wei Jian came to visit the patient, and she didn't want to cry and cry at this time, so she beat her spirit and burst into laughter.
"Brother, we need to get better quickly, we still have to go on a horse outing......"
Wei Wei smiled bitterly and raised his arm, but he only raised it slightly, and he fell involuntarily, not to mention riding a horse with this body, it was already a luxury to be able to walk again.
Suddenly, Wei Wei felt that everything in front of him was so real, so he said:
"I can't imagine it, I can't imagine that the feeling of dreaming is so real, Brother just wants to be in this dream and never wake up again......"
Seeing that the elder brother was sometimes sober and sometimes confused, Wei Jiao's heart ached, so she asked the old servant how he was sick like this.
The old servant wept and sighed.
It turned out that Wei Kui's body was very strong, but he accidentally fell behind on the way to the Taishang Emperor's western hunting, and met the thieves in the mountains.
Wei Wei was silent after hearing this, if it weren't for this catastrophe, Wei Wei wouldn't be like this.
In this bloody storm, she has seen a lot of human tragedy, many former nobles and dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren are either innocent or their lives are not guaranteed, and those who can follow the emperor to hunt in the west are also the lucky ones among the millions of people in Chang'an. It's a pity that Wei Kui is one of the most unfortunate of this group of lucky people.
As he was secretly distracted, a noisy female voice came into the room from the courtyard.
Wei Wei frowned slightly, and she could tell from her voice that this was her third and fourth sisters.
When she was in the house, Wei Wan had the care of her brother Wei Qi, and although her sisters were more loved by her father than her, they were not as good as her. On weekdays, in addition to jealousy, it is cynicism.
And she is a person with a clear personality of love and hate, and she doesn't find these sisters happy. When I came back to visit Wei Wei today, I didn't want to meet these sisters, but now I can't avoid them.
The first to come was the fourth sister, and when she saw Wei Jiao, who was dressed like a village woman, her eyes were full of disdain and schadenfreude.
"Ah Mei came back today, but she didn't leave? I thought you disappeared in the chaos, and I don't know how you came over for more than half a year? I heard that when Diao Min was in turmoil, he ruined a lot of good daughters of the two families......
Wei Wan didn't care about the cynicism of these sisters, she just thought that since she had seen Brother Ah today, she would leave immediately, and there was no nostalgia for this smoky home at all. If it weren't for these sisters instigating her father in the first place, how could she have been promised to Cui Anshi, a thief who was over forty years old?
Compared with himself, several sisters are married to Ruyi Langjun. For example, the third sister who came over today married the Hou Zheng family of the founding county, and the fourth sister married the prince of the founding county.
Especially after the Chang'an Rebellion, the Zheng family and the Wang family's Xiao Langjun are both meritorious in the private and united soldiers, seeing that the future is bright, and under the glory of women and husbands, Wei Yao's sisters are becoming more and more proud and have no one in their eyes.
Seeing Wei Wei's virtue, I knew that she was not doing well outside, and now she has lost Wei Wei's protection, and she has no husband's family to take care of her, and she is not far behind the dog who lost her family, and she is even more unscrupulous in making fun of her.
Looking at Wei Qi again, she still has a sick and confused look, and it is naturally difficult to stand up for her anymore.
"Seeing that Ah Mei came without a car or a horse, where are you going to go in such a hurry? Don't go to an irrelevant place and insult the door of the Wei family!"
Wei Wan didn't want to turn her face too much with them, so she said:
"The little sister is a female official in the palace, so naturally she will not insult the Wei family. ā
The third sister seemed to have heard an extremely incredible event, and her voice was extremely exaggerated:
"It turned out that she was a female official in the palace, and one day she could fly on the branches and become a phoenix, so don't forget your sister at that time!"
The female official in the palace is not equal to the concubine of the Son of Heaven, even if there is a chance of being favored by the Son of Heaven, but she is a female official in the court, I am afraid that there is no such possibility in this life.
Wei Wei's third sister saw the coarse cloth clothes she was wearing, and concluded that she must be doing well, and her status in the palace must be very low, otherwise there would not even be a chariot and horse.
Whether it is a eunuch or a female official in the palace, there are enviable examples. For example, Gao Lishi and Li Fuguo, the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and even the prime minister is afraid of three points. and Shangguan Wan'er decades ago, who can be called the prime minister of the female middle school. However, these must have nothing to do with Wei Qiao.
