When Wei Lan rode back to Changxinhou's Mansion, everyone was already waiting at the door. As soon as he entered the door, a pink figure rushed over, a beautiful face crying pear blossoms with rain, leaning on her and saying: "Ah Lan, you are finally back, Xiong'er is about to die..."
This is an extremely tall beauty with a slender frame. Her face is almost exactly the same as Wei Lan's, but her eyebrows are more beautiful and feminine, which makes her look very pitiful. She was an inch taller than Wei Lan, but her temperament was too weak and pitiful, and she didn't find it weird to be hugged by Wei Lan, as if it should be like this.
"Don't panic." Wei Lan smiled gently, patted the beauty in his arms, and said calmly, "Everything is up to me, let's go in first."
"Hey..." The beauty continued to cry, and Wei Lan felt a little headache, so she asked the wet nurse to pull the beauty away, and then walked into the yard.
As soon as he came, the panicked group of people seemed to have found their backbone. The housekeeper Wei Zhong came forward to report the reason. Wei Lan was not slow on his feet, but walked steadily and calmly. Listening to Wei Zhong's words, his expression did not change. head on.
It turned out that his younger brother Wei Xiong had a fight with Xie Bing, the young son of the main house of Xie's family. The two brats fought without seriousness, and they fell into the water together. It took several sips of water before he was rescued. After being rescued, he developed a high fever. The doctor said that he was critically ill. He was the eyeball of Mrs. Wei. When Mrs. Wei heard what the doctor said, she fainted on the spot from fright, and she still hasn't recovered.
Changxinhou's mansion was originally small in population, the mistress died young, and Hou Jun was far away in the frontier, and there was only an old lady with three children in charge. At this moment, the old lady fainted, and Wei Lan was in the military camp in the suburbs of Beijing again. Wei Hua, a daughter-in-law who could only cry, was left in the house. .
Walking into the wing room, the maid on the ground was crying, and Wei Xiong's wet nurse, Mrs. Zhang, was sitting on the side, wiping Wei Xiong's body with a veil of cold water. Wei Lan got annoyed when she saw a woman crying, and frowned. After walking to Wei Xiong, she asked Wei Zhong next to her, "Can I ask for a doctor?"
"I've invited you." Wei Zhong said, "I have invited the doctor from the Miao Medical Hall."
"Go and invite Imperial Physician Zhang over here." Wei Lan said directly: "Take the ink painting of Layman Kongshan from the warehouse and send it over."
"Yes." Wei Zhong hurriedly nodded in response, and ordered his servants to prepare the gift box, thinking in his heart, how could his family's son know so well the preferences of an imperial physician.
"Also, has the Xie family sent someone over?"
"Xie family?" Wei Zhong was taken aback, Wei Lan frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but seeing Wei Zhong's face, his eyes were unpredictable for a moment, and sighed quietly: "Forget it, you Now prepare a gift, bring it back and let the servants send it to the Xie Mansion, saying that it is our Changxinhou Mansion's apology."
"Your Majesty," Wei Zhong said with a changed expression on his face, rather puzzled, "This time, our young master has suffered a loss, so why do you want to make amends to the Xie family?"
"Just do it." Wei Lan sat beside Wei Xiong's bed, and Mrs. Zhang hurriedly got up to get out of the way. Although Wei Zhong held his breath, his master's words did not allow him to question anything, so he had to do it himself.
After Wei Zhong left, Wei Lan checked Wei Xiong's body temperature, and it was scalding.
"I went to the ice room to get ice, put it in a basin, wiped it all the time, and fed him more water. And you," he turned his head to look at the crying maids on the ground, and said lightly: "You Don't cry, as a woman, she will cry when encountering something, what does it look like!"
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and after a while, Mrs. Zhang quickly knelt down and said cleverly: "Yes, the son of the world has taught you well. As a maid in Changxinhou's mansion, you must be stable!"
Mrs. Zhang's words made everyone finally understand Wei Lan's words, and they all kowtowed in agreement. Wei Lan didn't speak, but nodded and said, "I'm going to see grandma."
With that said, he got up and went to the backyard.
When they arrived in the backyard, Mrs. Wei had already woken up and was reclining on the couch drinking medicine. After hearing the announcement from the servants, she saw Wei Lan coming from afar.
Wei Hua is the number one beauty in Shengjing, and Wei Lan, who is exactly the same as Wei Hua, is naturally extremely beautiful. Porcelain skin is like snow in the sun, her eyebrows are beautiful and elegant, her figure is tall and slender, although her thin shoulders and slender waist look thinner for a man, her demeanor is magnanimous, and her steps are unique to the aristocratic family. The romantic and luxurious, I don't feel weak, but the elegance of the noble son.
He walked all the way in front of Mrs. Wei, bowed solemnly, and then said: "How is grandma?"
"Lan'er," Mrs. Wei looked at him with a complicated expression, as if thinking of something: "You are... fifteen this year."
"It was my birthday last month," Wei Lan replied with a nod and a smile. Mrs. Wei held back and held back, and finally said to others: "Nurse Xu, you go down first, let Lan'er feed me."
Madam Xu, who was feeding medicine to Mrs. Wei, stepped back and handed the medicine bowl to Wei Lan. Wei Lan guessed what Mrs. Wei was going to say, but she didn't stop her. After letting everyone back down, Dafangfang sat next to Mrs. Wei and fed her the medicine respectfully.
Seeing his generous and calm appearance, Mrs. Wei couldn't help but sighed, and finally said: "If your brother can have half of you, that would be great! Lan'er, you can't live like this forever, can you?"
"Don't worry, Grandma." Hearing these words, Wei Lan's face remained unchanged: "When I stabilize the Hou Mansion and pave the way for my brother's future, I will naturally exchange it with my brother."
"But you are already fifteen," Mrs. Wei was a little anxious: "Which of the fifteen-year-old girls in ordinary families didn't make a marriage or get married directly?! If you wait a little longer, you will become an old girl when you discuss marriage. How can you find a good marriage?"
Hearing this, Wei Lan didn't say a word, and calmly fed the medicine to Mrs. Wei. Seeing that she was not in a hurry, Mrs. Wei grabbed her hand and said straightly: "Lan'er, you really agree with me." Let me tell you, is there someone in your heart that you can't marry?"
Otherwise, which daughter's family is not in a hurry to get married by this time? !
Hearing Mrs. Wei's words, Wei Lan couldn't laugh or cry. After feeding the last mouthful of medicine, she comforted: "Grandma, it's not that I don't want to marry, but the situation can't tolerate this. I thought I've made it clear to you before , take a look at this Changxinhou Mansion..."
Wei Lan pointed to the outside, and said seriously: "It seems to be safe and rich, but in fact it has already been exhausted. Back then, because of you, the mother of the uncle and the second uncle died of illness early. Although it was not your intention, to the uncle and the second uncle, this is your Wrong, they will naturally remember this as your fault. They are now the favorite ministers of the Holy One, the eldest uncle is the chief minister of the fourth-rank prime minister, and the second uncle is the official history of the sixth-rank warehouse department. If it is not because the father is still useful to the holy Do you think that the position of Marquis Changxin still belongs to father?"
The position of marquis is a vacant position. If the sage is willing, the position of Marquis will be able to hold military power; However, what the position represents is hereditary status and the wealth accumulated by the Marquis Mansion over the years. For this status and this money, there are so many dirty things in the Marquis Mansion that it is too difficult to record.
Listening to Wei Lan's words, Mrs. Wei's complexion turned pale. She was not without guilt for Xu's death.
Mrs. Wei was born in a well-known Lin family. Before entering the door, the Xu family was already the old man's concubine. The Xu family and the old man grew up as childhood sweethearts, but because of their low status, they have never been upright, but the old man may have promised her that he would never marry again in this life. But later, out of family considerations, the old lady was forced to marry Mrs. Wei. Before Mrs. Wei came in, she only heard about Xu's concubine, and didn't know anything else. However, on the day Mrs. Wei came in, Mrs. Xu was in the room Hanged himself.
For this reason, she has been eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha all her life, and she is also extraordinarily generous to Wei Yan and Wei Kai, but she can't let go of the hatred of these two children. She stubbornly believes that Mrs. Wei killed her mother, and even feels that Wei Shao has taken away their legitimate son from the bottom of her heart. position.
"If it weren't for the fact that my father was good at leading troops to fight, the Holy One didn't like it, but he didn't want to bury talents. Do you think that the position is still my father's? My father has the talent of a general, but what about my brother?"
Wei Lan's tone has always been calm, gentle and indifferent, but Mrs. Wei was dripping with cold sweat. The mention of Wei Hua seemed to pierce her heart. Looking at the plain expression of the person in front of her, she said: "Brother, take care of yourself!" Young loves to dress up as a woman, and behaves like a woman. If you let such a brother support the Hou Mansion, don’t you let him go to death? Even if the uncle and the second uncle don’t do it, the doctor Yushi’s book is enough to drown the brother .And, in the face of killing their mother, do you think they will let their brother go?"
"Grandma," Wei Lan put the bowl on the table, and with the sound of the porcelain hitting the wooden table, Wei Lan's voice also faintly rang out: "Blood debts have always been paid with blood, and only when you are alive can you want to marry Don't marry, marry or not, want to be prosperous and rich in the future, and have a century-old foundation."
"The battlefield is ruthless. My father is now forty years old. He has suffered countless injuries, large and small, in the past few decades. If it wasn't for supporting this family, he should have been transferred back to recuperate. But he still has to hold on now, just Because there is no one in the Changxinhou Mansion except him. Now that the father is collapsed, everyone will be collapsed. So, grandma," Wei Lan stretched out his hand to hold Mrs. Wei's hand, and said seriously: "You give me Give me some time, let me hand over a stable Changxinhou Mansion to my brother."
"But...but..." Mrs. Wei's eyes were full of grievances: "You are a girl after all!"
Hearing this, Wei Lan laughed loudly, her voice was like jade, with a magnanimity that is rare in an ordinary daughter's family: "It is the daughter's family that has Ling Yunzhi, stepping on the green ladder, establishing a life, and leaving a legacy." Fame."
Mrs. Wei looked at Wei Lan in surprise, Wei Lan seemed to know that Mrs. Wei didn't understand what she said, so she didn't explain much, stood up with a smile and said, "Don't worry, grandma, everything will be fine in a few years. I will solve the matter of marriage by myself."
Madam Wei didn't say a word, she always knew that her granddaughter was never in her control. She remembered that when Wei Lan was a child, she was actually soft and coy, and when she and Wei Hua were together, they were almost crying bags. But I don't remember when it started, and it grew up slowly.
She stopped crying and began to study hard. She even practiced martial arts and archery in the garden. But at the age of twelve, he was already able to write parallel essays that amazed the gentlemen of the Taixue, and won the general who retreated from the frontier fortress in the Fuchu.
At that time, she told Mrs. Wei that she wanted to go to the imperial academy instead of her brother. She even came up with a complete set of disguise plans, from twelve to thirty years old, how to cover up, how to act, and how to push back after being found out. She went out to atone without being implicated... thinking as clearly as a twelve-year-old.
She resolutely rejected Wei Lan at that time, Wei Lan pretended to compromise, and ended up running away alone in the middle of the night, leaving a letter before leaving, telling her not to make public about her running away, and everyone in the future said Wei Hua was her sister.
Mrs. Wei was in a hurry at the time, but she took care of her daughter's family's reputation, so she sent someone to chase her, but there was no news. After two years of disappearance, when Mrs. Wei thought that her granddaughter would never come back, she suddenly heard It was reported that Wei Lan, the eldest son of the Marquis of Changxin, had assassinated General Di Jie, won first-class military merit, and was rewarded by His Majesty himself. Without Wei Shao's application, Wei Lan was directly established as his son.
When the imperial decree came down, Mrs. Wei was so angry that her vision blurred.
Where did the eldest son Wei Lan come from from the Changxinhou Mansion! There is only one concubine, Wei Lan! The sons of Changxinhou's Mansion, one Wei Hua, one Wei Xiong, and Wei Lan disguised themselves as men to join the army, but they didn't even want to change their names!
Mrs. Wei had no choice but to change her name on the genealogy overnight, changing the identities of Wei Lan and Wei Hua, and then in private, the elders of the same clan said that they got the wrong name back then. I thought it was not a big deal, but now the imperial decree has to be changed. . Then I accepted everyone's congratulations with fear, and explained the reasons to people I knew well. Fortunately, after many years in Beijing, Mrs. Wei seldom went out with others. Wei Hua and Wei Lan looked exactly the same, especially when they were young, and they couldn't tell each other apart. Everyone accepted Mrs. Wei's words.
So Wei Lan succeeded in becoming the eldest son, which made Mrs. Wei a headache just thinking about it.
But after Wei Lan became the crown prince, the benefits were also evident. After all, Wei Lan was a crown prince favored by the Holy One.
Father depends on son, and after hearing that Wei Shao was on the front line, he finally replaced him from the striker position. If Wei Lan stays in Beijing for a while longer, he may not be far away from being transferred back.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wei felt that it was not such a bad thing for Wei Lan to become the crown prince.
But thinking of Wei Lan's more masculine temperament than his brother, and Wei Hua's appearance of being more delicate than her younger sister, Madam Wei felt that her heart was full, she was really heartbroken. I really want to stuff these two people back into their mother's womb, switch genders and be born again!
