Chapter 168: The Guardian Mansion (1)
Wei Anqing handed over the errand, and when he returned to the Wei Mansion, it was already dark at night. He returned to his yard and hastily changed his clothes.
A half-grown maid walked in with a smile: "Young master, the master asked you to go over for dinner." ”
The half-grown maid was about ten years old, with a big face and yellow hair, and she looked like she was from a poor family, and she didn't eat anything good when she was a child, and her nutrition was not enough.
Wei Anqing smiled: "Why are you still waiting for me so late?" ”
The maid shook her head honestly, indicating that she didn't know.
Wei Anqing smiled slightly, changed into light clothes and went to the Anju Hall in the mansion. Father Wei and several ladies and aunts had been waiting there for a long time.
Father Wei is about in his early forties, with a white face and a slight beard, deep facial features, and the Hu bloodline is still relatively obvious on his face. However, his appearance is not handsome enough, but deep and rough.
To his left sat an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, who looked a little similar to Wei Anqing. Seeing Wei Anqing, he didn't get up, but just smiled and called "big brother".
Next to the boy was a very beautiful and enchanting young woman in her early thirties. She is Wei Zhang's family, and she is the continuation of Wei's father.
Wei Anqing's biological mother passed away thirteen years ago. Wei's father later married Wei Zhang and gave birth to a son, Wei Changqing, who was just eleven years old this year.
When Wei Zhang saw Wei Anqing coming, he hurriedly greeted him to take a seat.
Wei Anqing said in a proper manner: "The child has not yet asked for peace, and the mother is seated." ”
He said that he had asked for peace to both Father Wei and Wei Zhang, and then sat on his father's right hand.
In fact, it would be very strange if an outsider saw it. Wei Anqing is the eldest son, and should sit in the first position of Wei's father's left hand, and then the first position of the right hand should be Wei Zhang's family.
Next, the second position on the left hand should be Wei Changqing, which means that the two brothers should sit together.
Now it is Wei Zhang who sits next to Wei Changqing, sitting on the left hand side of Wei's father, and Wei Anqing sits in the first position on his father's right hand.
In other words, Wei Zhang and Wei Anqing changed positions.
Xu was used to sitting like this, and Father Wei didn't make a sound to remind him to stop it from beginning to end.
The family began to eat with chopsticks. The Wei family has only been around for three generations, and the meals are very simple, and the dishes are also very simple.
Wei Zhang's family kept picking up vegetables for his son Wei Changqing, and he also kept beckoning Wei Anqing to eat. She is not from a big family, and she does not abide by the rules of a big family that does not speak when eating and sleeping.
Father Wei was very steady and did not speak. Wei Anqing also ate elegantly without speaking. When he greeted Wei Zhang, he just smiled or nodded.
Finally, when dinner was over, the maid served tea and fruit.
Only then did Father Wei slowly speak: "An Qing, the Duke of Liang Guo has sent someone here. ”
The hall fell silent, and several pairs of eyes looked at Wei Anqing's handsome face that brought disaster to the country and the people.
Wei Anqing took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then looked at his father: "What did my father say?" ”
Father Wei coughed lightly: "What else can I say." Liang Guogong invited me to go to the Guogong Mansion in two days to talk about it. You can go with it. ”
Wei Anqing smiled, and his bewitching eyes showed sarcasm: "What am I going to do?" It's the father who wants to be invited. ”
Father Wei's face turned cold: "You asked knowingly." You really don't know why people want to go for my father? ”
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly cooled a little. Wei Changqing will look at Father Wei for a while, and look at his eldest brother Wei Anqing for a while.
Wei Zhang stared at Wei Anqing with a very complicated expression.
Wei Anqing glanced at everyone in the hall coldly, and then lowered his eyes.
He smiled and said, "Father wants to cling to Liang Guogong?" ”
Father Wei's face was gloomy: "What kind of climbing is this?" Liang Guogong was very sincere, and he personally asked someone to talk to him. I have to go and thank you in person. ”
Wei Anqing smiled: "Thank you for what?" Lord Xie Guogong can afford to look down on us, a noble and low-class family? Lord Xie Guogong condescended to make friends with our Baron's Mansion? ”
The sarcasm in his eyes was deep: "Father, if you want to thank these things, you really have to thank them." After all, I received so many gifts from other people, and it was really unreasonable not to visit them, and I was not at ease with other people's things. ”
Father Wei was so angry that his face turned pale: "You...... You son of a! Did you do it on purpose? You obviously know that the Liang Guogong Mansion is here to kiss. You are sixteen this year, and Miss Zheng of the Liang Guogong Mansion will be married next year. ”
"Now that there is such a big opportunity, the big benefits are given to you this stinky boy, what are you not satisfied with?"
"Do you know how many royal families and nobles, wealthy families, and powerful families in the capital are eager to marry the daughter of Liang Guogong. You stinky boy has been taken by others, what are you still pretentious? ”
“……”
Father Wei kept scolding.
Wei Anqing always had a smile on his face, and a pair of demonic eyes just looked at the tea cup in his hand coldly.
Wei Zhang, who was on the side, hurriedly went to pull the thunderous father Wei.
"Master, master, I have something to say. Don't get angry. ”
"Master, An Qing has always had a lot of ideas, just listen to it. Hey, An Qing, you don't want to compensate your father. ”
"This Liang Guogong is big, and we can't afford to offend. Since he has the intention of marrying, it will do you no harm, An Qing ......"
“……”
Wei Zhang persuaded Wei's father on the one hand, and on the other hand, he persuaded Wei Anqing bitterly. She even walked up to him and tugged at his sleeve.
Wei Anqing pulled suddenly, and the murderous chill in his eyes suddenly made Wei Zhang's frightened and didn't dare to move.
Wei Anqing said coldly: "Mother, the child has grown up, and it is better to avoid suspicion if the mother is not her own mother." ”
When Wei Zhang heard this, he blushed with shame, hid his face and ran away.
Father Wei was so angry that he wanted to beat Wei Anqing, and scolded in his mouth: "You evil animal! ”
How could Wei Anqing let him fight and hide from Father Wei in the hall for a while. The hall was bustling with activity.
Wei Anqing was as slippery as a swimming fish, hiding from his father, and sneered coldly: "Why is my father so angry? Could it be that people are going to choose your son as the fast son-in-law, for fear that this great opportunity will be gone? ”
"You ......"
"Since my father wants to marry the Duke of Liang, he doesn't have to sacrifice his son's hue, and I don't think Changqing looks worse than me, can you go and talk about it, can you change your son?"
"I'll kill you! Evil animals! ”
Father Wei was so angry that he almost fainted. Wei Changqing, who was watching the excitement from the side, snorted: "Big brother, you don't have to bury me." People fancy you, not me. Who made the eldest brother look more beautiful than a woman? ”
Wei Changqing said this, and looked at Wei Anqing well.
Unexpectedly, Wei Anqing was not as annoyed as usual, but said with a smile: "I know that the second brother is jealous in his heart." How can the eldest brother treat the younger brother badly? If I see the eldest lady of the Zheng family another day, I will tell you about your admiration. Let her come to our house to see you. ”
"It's not bad for you to be a husband."
Wei Changqing's face turned red with anger: "What is like a husband?" Big brother, you're sick. ”
Wei Anqing smiled and said: "I don't know if I'm sick or not, but who knows who has a ghost in his heart." I won't agree to this family matter. ”
He dodged out of the hall and walked away.
