ALL NOVEL Chapter 60:
“Ran Ran, do you know the Crown Prince of Chen Guogong?” Jiang took her daughter’s hand, “Why do you think he is looking at you?”
“…” Thinking of the rejected bottle of plaster, Wei Hanzhang was silent and said, “We had a chance encounter.”
Wei Heng was startled and kept silent for a few breaths. He didn't know what he was thinking. Suddenly he said softly: "We are all colleagues. Since we have met, I will go over and say hello."
Looking at this situation, Chen Zishu personally released the person, so that the Jiang family could be released from prison in good health. It was probably his instruction, so it was appropriate to say a few polite words.
Wei Heng was about to go over, but he didn’t expect that the person on the other side had already walked over on his own.
Chen Zishu was dressed in the uniform of a third-rank official, but he bowed his hands in a junior salute to Wei Heng and Jiang, and warmly said hello.
When his eyes swept over Wei Hanzhang's face, he paused and smiled.
Wei Hanzhang: “…”
It was obvious that Jiang's hand holding his arm was exerting a little force.
I couldn't help but start muttering in my heart, why are you smiling at her like that?
She is not that familiar with this person, right?
In this abnormal attitude of Chen Ziyi, Jiang's and Wei Heng didn't miss it. He thought about it, and looked at his eyes and began to take some trace.
However, the Jiang family had just been released from prison and were still waiting to be settled in the car. This was not a place where they could chat freely.
After a few words of greeting, Wei Heng said: "Thank you, my dear nephew, for taking care of my in-laws. I am not free today, otherwise I would have invited you to come to my house and have a drunken rest."
“Uncle Shi is too polite, it’s just a little effort, so how can I take care of you?”
Chen Zishu's attitude was extremely humble. He handed over his hand again and said with a smile: "But I will remember your dinner and I will definitely pay you a visit someday."
Wei Heng was just saying a few polite words, and never thought that he would actually respond. He was surprised at first, and when he saw the prince in front of him, his eyes unconsciously fell in the direction of his daughter, and he was finally able to determine his thoughts.
This is obviously a drunkard who is not interested in drinking.
Not only did Wei Heng discover it, but Jiang and Wei Hanzhang himself also discovered it.
Jiang did not expect that her young daughter, who had only returned to the capital for a few months, would actually be involved with the eldest son of Chen Guogong. She was surprised and happy for a while.
Chen Zishu was the best among the family members in terms of his origin, ability, character and appearance.
A third-rank official who already holds real power at a young age, and has not yet discussed marriage, is the top candidate for a son-in-law in the circle of noble ladies in the capital.
Such a person actually has interest in his own daughter.
Then what kind of person do you want to take care of your family? What kind of man do you want to take care of your family?
Jiang felt that something good had finally happened in the past half year or so.
If a daughter has to go through the process of breaking off the engagement in order to get such a quick husband, then she understands the meaning of "a blessing in disguise".
Surprise is a surprise, but right now my mother’s family is still waiting to be settled, and this is not a place to talk, so let’s put aside the children’s matters for the time being.
After saying goodbye to Chen Zishu slightly, the couple took their daughter into the carriage.
The Jiang family, who had just experienced the shock of being in prison, were in a very low state of mind. Except for Jiang Zhixue, the daughter of the second wife of the Jiang family, who looked over with tears in her eyes after Wei Hanzhang got in the car, the voices of the adults were all weak when they spoke. Only the Jiang family Concerned questions about the voices of brothers and nephews. Soon, the carriage stopped at the gate of Jiang Mansion. After Wei Hanzhang got out of the car, he immediately walked to Mrs. Jiang's car and carefully helped the two old people in.
Stepping over the brazier that had been prepared, a few old ladies from Jiangfu who stayed in the capital read a few festive words beside them, and the disaster was over.
Jingcheng Jiangfu is a courtyard with four entrances. Over the years, there have been servants staying behind to clean it up, so it is relatively clean.
The family arrived at the main courtyard first, where a doctor was already waiting. First, they asked Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang for their pulse.
Ms. Jiang stood aside and waited for the doctor to check her pulse one after another before asking, "Are my parents okay?"
"The two elders are getting older, and they were frightened again this time. Fortunately, they had a good foundation when they were young, so it will not have much impact on their health." The old doctor held a writing brush, prescribed a prescription, and said: "Don't overdo your health regimen. Thinking, worrying.”
How can we not think too much and worry when something like this happens at home?
Mr. Jiang glanced at the front of the hall and went through this ordeal. He was so frightened that his eyes still showed panic, as if his two sons had their backs broken. He also thought about his eldest son who was exiled to Lingnan and did not know whether he would see him again in this life. He burst into tears.
This generation of the Jiang family is considered ruined.
Everything was his fault. He knew clearly that his eldest son had a bad temper, had no talent, and was not very useful, but he still took the trouble to give him an official position so that he would not be a white man and a head lower than his two younger brothers.
How would you have thought that such a low-level official of the fifth rank could cause such a disaster of genocide?
Mr. Jiang has been an official for decades and has devoted himself to the livelihood of the people. It took him two dynasties to achieve a clear name. He did not expect that he would have to go to the Dali Temple prison before he was old. Most of the energy of the originally energetic old man had been lost. .
The old man waved his hands to the descendants in the hall and said: "Go down and have a rest. We will return to Xuzhou in three days."
Hearing this, Jiang on the side was stunned. He was about to speak to dissuade her, but her husband held her shoulders and stopped her, so she had no choice but to give up.
Wei Hanzhang was also anxious. She held Old Zhao's hand and said, "Grandpa, grandma, don't you want to stay for a few more days to recover and go back?"
Facing the granddaughter whom he raised under his knees and whom he loved most, Mr. Jiang softened his expression, but still shook his head and said nothing.
Mrs. Jiang obeyed her husband's decision in everything. She patted her granddaughter's hand and said lovingly: "Ran Ran, you will stay with grandma these few days and ask me to take a good look at you."
This may be the last day that the grandfather and grandson will be reunited in this life.
Wei Hanzhang's nose felt sore and he nodded repeatedly.
The two old men were in poor spirits, and their children and grandchildren did not dare to stay and disturb the peace.
Jiang remained silent until she walked out of the main courtyard, then she said, "Master, why don't you let me persuade my father? How can his body withstand the fatigue of traveling and traveling!"
I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that her husband had the same idea as her father-in-law, that it would be bad for the Wei family's reputation if the Jiang family stayed in the capital for a long time?
Yesterday, after learning that only the eldest son of the Jiang family was sentenced to exile, and that his parents and two brothers were mercifully released, Jiang made preparations to see his brother off and come to Dali Temple Prison to pick up his parents in person.
However, he took the advice of his mother-in-law in advance and asked her to send a few servants to take care of the matter immediately. She, the second wife of the Hou Mansion, did not need to show up in person.
The Jiang family refused, but fortunately Wei Heng, as her husband, stood on the opposite side of the family this time and supported her decision. He went to the study and chatted with his father for half an hour.
I thought my father-in-law had been persuaded, but when I went out this morning, someone from the main courtyard sent another message, saying: When you go to see off the Jiang family, you should not act in a high-profile manner, and you must pay attention to the impact, so as not to attract the attention of interested people.
