"Hmph! I've raised you in vain!" The head of the Wei family grumbled angrily, but didn't dare to speak loudly. "I've already bought land in Chuanhe Town, and I'll go build a big house!"
Wei Zhan ignored him and was about to leave with his wife, but the head of the Wei family stopped them again and asked angrily, "Where is your mother? Where did you send her?"
"She went to the countryside to retire." Wei Zhan said unhappily.
The head of the Wei family frowned and said, "Which village? Dongchen Village?"
Seeing that Wei Zhan ignored him, he said angrily: "You rebellious son! You actually separated your parents! No! I want to go too!"
Wei Zhan was so annoyed that he could only say, "The people in Dongchen Village are simple and honest. They don't like people to bring many concubines with them."
One or two would be fine, but when my father has seven or eight concubines, they gather together, young and old, and people can't tell who is who. It's really immoral.
Patriarch Wei was choked by his son's words.
When I returned to the main courtyard of the Wei family from my son's place, I saw that several concubines had come and were standing crowded in the room.
Not only are there concubines, but also their children and daughters-in-law.
Patriarch Wei looked around.
The oldest concubine was already over seventy, as old as herself. The youngest was in her thirties, about the same age as Wei Zhan.
Since moving to Zhouhe County, the head of the Wei family has not taken a concubine for many years, but he has had many casual affairs with women outside. All of them are young and beautiful, and each of them wants to come back and be his concubine.
The head of the Wei family wanted to take her back, but when he thought of his wife, son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter Nuannuan at home, he gave up the idea.
Looking back now, there are indeed too many concubines in the family. Except for the youngest one who has not given birth, the rest have all given birth to children.
Children big and small stood in front of their mother and looked at him expectantly.
Alas, this is all sin.
The head of the Wei family sat down on the chair dejectedly and looked at them coldly: "What do you want to do now?"
Cao was already over fifty, with a head full of white hair. She walked forward and saluted to the head of the Wei family: "Dad, what did the princess say? Did she agree to let us go to Dongchen Village?"
The head of the Wei family slammed the table and said angrily: "Why are you going? All of you should concentrate on your thoughts! Just stay here peacefully!"
When Cao was scolded by her father-in-law, she was so embarrassed that she took out a handkerchief to cover her face and started crying.
Ever since she saw her mother-in-law regain her youth, she has been extremely envious.
I sent someone to ask the servants in my mother-in-law's yard what was going on, but I didn't expect that this time they were particularly tight-lipped and refused to reveal a single word.
The maids and servants all had happy expressions on their faces, as if they had been rejuvenated.
Cao and the other concubines felt something was wrong, and after discussing it together, they wanted to come and take a look in person.
As a result, when they came together, the mother-in-law's yard was empty and no one was seen.
Cao was panicked now, so she and her concubines came to the master's yard and waited there, wanting to get the truth from the master.
"Dad, my mother-in-law is the one who is in charge of this family after all. I am just worried about her. Is there anything wrong with that?" Cao cried.
But she was thinking in her heart that if her mother-in-law really didn't come back, as the eldest daughter-in-law, she would definitely be able to take the position of head of the family.
The head of the Wei family waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, all of you go back! I'm not dead yet, so it's not your turn to worry about the family's affairs for the time being."
There is a housekeeper and an accountant at home, and there is no shortage of food, drink and other expenses. I don't understand why these women are so good at finding trouble.
Sure enough, what his son said was right. Women are troublesome. They cry all day long and his head is about to explode.
He looked at the old concubine again. She was over seventy years old. If she stood with his wife, others would definitely think they looked like a grandmother and grandchild.
"Aman, how have you been recently?" The head of the Wei family felt sorry for this old concubine who had been with him for decades, so he asked her to sit down and talk.
A'man sat down to one side tremblingly and said, "I'm fine, but I'm very tired recently. I get tired after standing for a while."
"Then why are you joining them in the fun?" The head of the Wei family scolded, and asked his personal servant to go to his private storehouse to get two boxes of bird's nests and a box of ginseng for the aunt.
A'man covered his mouth and coughed a few times: "Thank you, uncle. If it weren't for your constant care, my old bones would have been buried in the ground long ago."
The head of the Wei family frowned, and couldn't help feeling sad when he saw the old and frail appearance of the person he cared about most.
Alas, it would be great if she could have the same opportunity as his wife, but that damn kid Wei Zhan is just like his mother. He doesn't take the Wei family seriously and is even perfunctory towards his father.
"Aman, wait until Qilang is free, let him come and treat you." said the head of the Wei family.
A'man was surprised: "Qilang also knows medical skills?"
"It's not medical skills, Qilang has learned a magic. As long as you treat him, you will definitely be healthy." The head of the Wei family stroked his beard and sighed: "The princess's medical skills should be better than Qilang's, but your status is different, alas..."
A'man's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said, "No matter how different, she is still the daughter-in-law of the Wei family. Lord, you are too high a praise for her. She is just born in the countryside, and it is the emperor's great grace that she can have her current position."
Back then, a servant of the Wei family was more noble than that of the Jiang family. It is ridiculous to say that there is a difference in status now.
Patriarch Wei was touched and sighed, "After all, Yingbao from the Jiang family is a princess. Ah Man, just say this in front of me, and don't spread it over there."
A'man covered her mouth and coughed a few times, then whispered, "It was my fault, please don't blame me, Master. I just felt sorry for you, Master. You worked hard for this family all your life, but in the end you and your wife fell out and lived apart. I have lived for decades, and I have never seen a mistress of a family throw her husband aside and live happily with her own children."
Seeing that the face of the head of the Wei family was getting darker and darker, A'man sighed: "It's not that I'm being nosy, it's just that I can't stand it. Not only does the lady not take you seriously, but she also instigated Qilang and Qilang's wife to disrespect you."
The head of the Wei family burst into tears after hearing what his concubine said, but in order to save face, he had to get up and go into the inner room.
A'man curled her lips slightly and bowed towards the inside, "Master, I will let Xiao Cui go in and serve you."
The head of the Wei family said nothing.
So A'man walked out of the courtyard and went to the room of the youngest concubine, smiling, "Cui'er, the master is a little tired, go and take care of him."
Cui'er had no choice but to get up, call her personal maid, and go to the uncle's bedroom.
Let’s talk about Sakura.
Planting crops with my parents in the temple.
After she restored the youthfulness to her parents, she also strengthened their bodies and opened their meridians. Now Jiang Sanlang and his wife's spiritual roots were able to practice the Changchun Jue, so they practiced the Changchun Jue in the Divine Mansion and used it to promote the growth of plants.
In this way, they planted all the plants collected from all over the world one by one, and classified and managed them with Wuhui and others.
After Wei Zhan planted the corn, he broke off some before it got ripe and left them for his daughter to roast and eat.
Chunniang also made a jar of bean paste with soybeans, and picked some chili peppers, stir-fried them with shrimp and pork cubes, and added the bean paste to make a jar of appetizing chili sauce.
Nuannuan and Wuhui like it very much. They can eat half a pot of rice with chili sauce.
