Chapter 98: Fan Wai III
Before the nurse could find it, Mrs. He sent someone to call the little couple to Shangshu Mansion. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although the Wei family and the He family are separated by half of the capital, Aunt Wei has never put on the score of being a "mother-in-law", and naturally she will not detain He Zhi and prevent her from going home. After nearly a year of marriage, He Zhi will take Wei Lai home to see her parents every ten days and half a month, after all, the three brothers have been released, and only she, the daughter of the married daughter, is closer to home, so it is convenient to go back to see it often.
He Zhi and Wei Lai went home together three days ago, everything was as usual in He Mansion, and Mrs. He didn't say anything, why did she suddenly look for them again?
Mrs. He took the initiative to send someone to call someone back, and this was the first time. He Zhi and Wei Lai were afraid that Mrs. He was looking for them urgently, so they didn't dare to delay, and went back to He's house that afternoon.
As soon as he entered the gate of Shangshu Mansion, Wei Lai felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong. She was trained from life and death on the battlefield, and her five senses were naturally keen, so the rather obscure gazes of the subordinates of the He family did not hide from her eyes. If only she looked at her more, she also clearly read it from the eyes of several old family members...... Hostile?
Whether the old family members of He Mansion know each other, they seem to have watched He Zhi grow up, and every time the two of them come back, they will always come to see it, smiling, as if they saw their children and grandchildren coming home. Why didn't they see each other for a few days, and they changed their kindness from the past, and looked at her as if they were looking at a negative man?
Wei Lai was full of doubts and innocence, and He Zhi saw the attitude of these old family members, and had some vague guesses in his heart. When the two of them walked all the way to the hall where they were entertaining and saw Mrs. He sitting in the hall upright, the guess in her heart was determined again.
Mrs. He's face was not very good-looking, she sat upright on the main seat of the hall, put on a shelf of being the housewife, and when she saw the two of them entering, she did not show a smile as before, but became more and more solemn.
Wei Lai was a little apprehensive by Mrs. He's appearance, but after thinking about it, she didn't seem to have done anything to provoke the "mother-in-law", nor did she treat her daughter-in-law wrongly, so she turned her head to look at He Zhi, her eyes full of questions.
Seeing Mrs. He's like this, He Zhi still didn't understand anything, she secretly blamed Xi Qiu in her heart for not discussing things with her, but she didn't miss anything on her face. She squeezed Wei Lai's hand, signaled her to be calm, and then saluted her mother as usual, and then asked as if she didn't know: "Mother, are you looking for us back, is there something wrong?" β
Naturally, there is something, and the "illegitimate child" is quietly led into the house, can it be okay?!
After hearing the news, Mrs. He was full of anger, especially after knowing that her daughter was not noisy or noisy, and she was really ready to take over the child and raise her well, she almost blew up her lungs. When the two got married, she knew that her daughter had lost her heart without paying attention, and she could only hope that Wei Lai would be as infatuated with her daughter. But who knew that it had not been a year since the two got married, and such a thing happened!
Mrs. He herself is a good and strong person, and He Shangshu treats her sincerely, although she also asked for flowers and willows when she was young, she has never made any trouble with illegitimate children or anything like that. The three sons and one daughter of the He family are compatriots of the same mother, and Mrs. He has always had the final say in the inner courtyard of the He family, and she has lived a comfortable life, but she didn't expect to encounter such a "bad thing" when she was old.
With a calm face, Mrs. He looked at the little two. Her daughter has always been able to hold on, and she didn't expect to be able to see anything from her face, but when she saw Wei Lai's blank look, she became angry, and asked in a cold voice: "I heard, you took a child home to raise?" β
Wei Lai didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, and she wasn't stupid, so she thought of some reasons as soon as her mind turned. However, she only thought about the issue of status, and she didn't expect others to mistake the child for her illegitimate child, so she replied calmly: "Yes." When I was rescued in Trois-RiviΓ¨res, the girl left without asking for anything in return, and this time we met again in the capital, and she entrusted the child to me, and I adopted him. β
In Wei Lai's mind, she and He Zhi would not have their own children, so it didn't matter what the name of that child was. She doesn't care, and He Zhi doesn't care, so other people's opinions don't matter so much. However, she said frankly, but she didn't understand everything between the words, and Mrs. He instantly understood poorly, only thinking that the child was the illegitimate son of Wei Lai and the girl.
Seeing that Mrs. He's willow eyebrows were upside down, and she was about to have a seizure, He Zhi hurriedly explained: "That child is an orphan, and his mother went when he gave birth to him, and it was inconvenient for Miss Yu to take the child, so she entrusted it to us." β
Wei Lai is not a man after all, she subconsciously didn't think about the stubble of the illegitimate child, and it was a little inexplicable to see He Zhi deliberately explain this sentence. Mrs. He calmed down her anger a little, but she still glanced at He Zhi: "Do you believe what people say?" β
He Zhi took two steps forward and grabbed Mrs. He's hand, with a shallow smile on her face: "I naturally believe her." Saying that, he glanced at Wei Lai, and then asked, "If she can't believe it, who else can I trust?" β
The water spilled by the married daughter, Mrs. He was speechless. She was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "This child can be raised, but Wei Lai, you have to write a note, and everything in the Wei family will have to be left to Ah Zhi's child in the future." Mrs. He was worried about Wei Lai's face, and she didn't say anything: The dowry given by my He family is not reserved for outsiders.
"This ......," Wei Lai looked back at He Zhi.
He Zhi was decisive, nodded calmly and said, "Just as my mother said, Ah Lai, you will leave a note." β
He Zhi said so, Wei Lai also nodded obediently, it is impossible for them to have their own children, and it is probably not bad if this note is not written. So after Mrs. He asked people to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, she wrote a note seriously and stayed at He's house, and her demeanor was not half reluctant.
Mrs. He found a brocade box to put the note, and the expression on her face gradually eased. She doesn't know if what He Zhi said is true or false, but with this note, her daughter will be able to have a guarantee in the future. In addition, Wei Lai behaved like this to listen to He Zhi's words, which finally made her feel a lot more comfortable.
handed over the brocade box to the personal maid and asked her to take it back to the room to put it away, Mrs. He took He Zhi's hand and said to Wei Lai: "Your father-in-law still has something to do with you, you go to the study to find him." Ah Zhi stayed with me, and I still had something to say to her. β
Wei Lai's scalp was numb, but he had to obediently respond, and then went to the study to find He Shangshu - she didn't understand, she just adopted a child, as for making trouble, did the two elders of the He family come to train one by one?
When Wei Lai's back disappeared outside the hall, Mrs. He pulled He Zhi to sit aside. She stared at He Zhi's stomach with a worried face, and said a clichΓ©: "Ah Zhi, it's been a year, and there is still no news......
*********************************************************************
He Zhi was pulled by Mrs. He to talk about the child again, but He Shangshu came to Wei Lai, but he had nothing to do with the child. He believed that his wife and daughter could handle things well, so he just asked about these family matters, but he looked for Wei Lai, but it was for business, so when he saw Wei Lai, he asked: "Xiao Wei, how is your leg injury recovering?" β
Wei Lai finally resigned successfully through lame legs more than half a year ago, but then He Zhi was unwilling to let her pretend to be lame for the rest of her life, so she made a few pairs of shoes for her one after another, and the thickened soles gradually became thinner. Wei Lai pretended that the leg injury was gradually recovering as the soles of her shoes changed, and now she was wearing normal shoes, and she couldn't see anything when she walked.
Hearing He Shangshu's question, Wei Lai subconsciously felt a little bad. Of course, she couldn't say that her leg had fully recovered, so she only said: "After a year of recuperation, I have recovered a little, and I can't see it anymore when I walk slowly, but I can't walk fast either." After speaking, he sighed deliberately, and said abruptly: "The kung fu on my leg is now useless." β
He Shangshu glanced up at her, and then sighed and said: "There was something wrong in the womb a few days ago, and now there is a vacancy in the position of deputy commander in the Imperial Forest Army, I originally intended to recommend you to take over ......"
Fortunately, I didn't admit that my leg was good!
Wei Lai was extremely happy to hear this, and he couldn't wait to show He Shangshu again immediately! It was not easy for her to resign and remove her armor and break free from the officialdom of the barracks, but when she turned around, Lord Shangshu planned to send her to the palace. As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and it doesn't matter whether you go in to be a concubine, a palace maid or a guard, the palace is not so easy to mix.
As soon as Wei Lai finished rejoicing, he listened to He Shangshu and said worriedly: "You have been idle at home for a year, and you are always dragged down by this leg injury, how will you be good in the future?" β
It can be heard that Lord Shangshu is really thinking about Wei Lai, his three sons have all become talents, and it is estimated that he has not even worried about his own sons over the years. Wei Lai didn't feel his kindness, but she really couldn't accept this matter, so she wanted to support her family, so she could only hesitate and ask: "Or, I'll try to do business?" β
Shinong industry and commerce, the last of the merchants, many scholars look down on merchants. Wei Lai thought that why Shangshu would turn his face, but he just frowned and said: "The merchant values profit and leaves lightly. β
Merchants travel all over the world to earn the difference, and they are not at home all the year round, so Wei Lai knows that this road is not passable.
In fact, in terms of the He family's dowry to He Zhi, even if the young couple doesn't do anything, they can still have a large balance if they eat and drink every year. But Wei Lai is only in his twenties this year, and it is a good year, so if she really wants to stay at home without doing anything, it is simply a waste of life and a waste of talent.
He Shangshu thought for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "Let's go, since I am dragged down by this injured leg and can't go on a career path, I might as well do something else." I have an old friend who works as a mountain chief at the Red Maple Academy on the outskirts of the city, and I asked him if he could let you teach riding and archery. β
The six arts of a gentleman, the number of imperial books in the shooting of etiquette, and the riding of archery are also necessary to learn. Wei Lai's archery skills are very accurate, and she can ride a horse all the way back to Beijing when she breaks her leg, so there is naturally no problem in teaching students from a few academies.
After being at home for a year, Wei Lai finally found something to do, and he was overjoyed for a while. ... Friends who read books, you can search for "", you can find this site as soon as possible.
