Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 393 The Three Webster Sisters Worried About Life
After confirming that it was the King of Chu, Wei Siyan's wife had a look of joy on her face, and she asked, "Did His Highness the King of Chu come to invite your elder brother to be an official?"

Hearing this, the three brothers looked at each other, quite embarrassed.

When the Shence Mansion was established, Li Zhiyun asked them to recommend talents, and Wei Siqi reported the names of his elder brother and third younger brother in one go, but he did not expect that the King of Chu would personally assess the talents recommended by each of them.

Then, the third brother passed, but the eldest brother did not.

Now that the sister-in-law said this, the three brothers were a little ashamed for a while.

Wei Siqi explained: "That's not the case, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is passing by here."

Hearing this, Wei Siyan's wife's face became stiff, and she asked again: "Where are the two uncles here today?"

"We came with His Highness." Wei Siren replied.

"Didn't you send food and clothing to the younger sisters?"

"Uh, no." Wei Siqi replied.

"Oh." The smile on Wei Siyan's wife's face disappeared completely, and she walked into the kitchen, leaving the three brothers looking at each other at a loss.

At this moment, the sound of cursing and knocking on the pot came from the kitchen.

"Eat all the time and don't cook. My life is miserable. Why did you follow such a useless thing? Serve the young but also serve the old. The old doesn't live up to it. It's a disaster for three generations."

The three brothers shook their heads and smiled bitterly at each other.

Wei Siren joked: "Isn't sister-in-law imitating Gengjiehou's mother?"

In the past, when Liu Bang was still a hooligan in Pei County, he liked to invite his brothers to eat and drink at his brother-in-law's house.Once or twice is fine, but the number of times I come here is too many, and my sister-in-law doesn't like it, so she scrapes the bottom of the pot vigorously, knocks on the pot, and tells Liu Bang that there is no food.

Later, when Liu Bang became emperor, he made his brothers and nephews princes, but he did not give his sister-in-law's son a prince. In the end, Liu Taigong came forward, and Liu Bang pinched his nose and gave his nephew the title of Gengjiehou.

The three brothers laughed heartlessly.

Naturally, most of Wei Siyan's wife's anger was not because of Wei Siqi and Wei Siren's coming over for dinner, but because of Wei Siyan's younger sisters.

In the east wing, the three daughters were talking.

The eldest sister is Wei Puti, the former false concubine of Zheng Zheng, and the other two girls are her two younger sisters, Wei Tante and Wei Nizi.

Wei Dante was the youngest, ignorant, and said bluntly: "Eldest sister, why did my sister-in-law criticize our sisters so much? When Yeye was alive, she was not so fussy."

She is not deaf, so she could hear the scolding from the yard earlier.

Wei Puti was weaving, and when he heard what his sister said, he explained: "You also said that it happened when the lord was alive. Now it's not easy for the sister-in-law. The elder brother has not been an official, and he can only live on a few acres of Susukida. When you grow up, it’s no wonder that your livelihood is not good.”

Thinking about the past, Wei Puti also felt a little dejected. Thinking back when she was the crown princess, how had she ever received such harsh words.

A tinge of anger appeared on Wen Nizi's face, and he said: "When the eldest sister came back, those two grandfathers said they would take good care of us, but now they have disappeared. If it weren't for the help of a few brothers, we still don't know where we would be looking for a living .”

The two grandfathers are Wei Ji and Wei Jin.

Speaking of this, Wei Puti's face was also a little warm and angry.At first it was Wei Ji who decided to marry her to Wang Xuanying. Later Zheng Guo was wiped out by the Tang Dynasty and Wang Xuanying died. She was rescued by Li Zhiyun and returned to her hometown.I thought that Wei Ji would take care of the orphans more or less because of guilt, but he didn't expect that at all!
She finally figured it out, she was sold to Wang Xuanying by Wei Ji back then.

"Nizi, it's better to rely on yourself than to ask others, don't talk about these things." Wei Puti smiled and changed the subject, "When you marry a good man in the future, my sister will feel relieved."

"I don't want to marry." Wei Dante said aggrievedly: "My brothers don't care about our sisters, how can there be any good people who want us. Besides, if we leave, what will you do, elder sister, and younger sister? looking at you."

"Nonsense." Wei Puti said, "Siqi and Siren never took care of you, look at your clothes, didn't they buy them for you?"

"No, it's obviously given by Sister Gui." Weinizi muttered in a low voice, and said, "Eldest sister, you don't know, once I went to Chang'an to look for my second elder brother, and my second sister-in-law was very annoying. If it wasn't for Sister Gui's visit that day ,I also."

As she said that, her big eyes turned red, as much as she wanted to be wronged.

Wei Dante enviously said: "Sister Gui married the King of Chu, now she should have no worries about food and clothing."

Speaking of this, Wei Puti kept silent, just weaving the cloth silently.Although they and Wei Gui are sisters, they are separated by a layer.

Inadvertently, through the window, she saw several men standing in the courtyard.

The leader she knew was the King of Chu who had met once in the past.

"Why is he here?"

Ok?
Wen Nizi looked at his elder sister puzzled, "Who's here?"

The three sisters got together and saw Li Zhiyun washing his hands not far away.

It is Li Zhiyun's habit to wash his hands after using the toilet.However, Wei Siyan's family was not well off, so naturally no one would prepare fresh water for him, so he could only wash it casually with the water used to wash vegetables in the courtyard.

"Your Highness, someone is here." Li Zhen reminded from the side.

Li Zhiyun shook off the water stains on his hands, looked aside, and saw the three sisters Wei Puti walking with their skirts in their hands.

When he was just looking for water, he accidentally listened to the three sisters complaining about life for a while.

Wei Puti, he has seen it before, she is a beautiful woman, even though she is not dressed in bright clothes now, she is still a young woman with outstanding temperament.

Her two younger sisters, Weinzie is a little beauty who is about to bloom, and Weinette is a little girl.

Because of his wife Wei Gui, Li Zhiyun pays more attention to the members of the Wei clan in Wei Siqi's room, so he also knows the names of the three Wei Puti sisters.

The three of them stepped forward and saluted generously.

"See Your Highness."

Li Zhiyun stretched out his hand to support Wei Puti's jade hand, and helped her up.

"It's all a family, and my sister doesn't need to be polite."

His fingertips slid across her palm, as if scratching into Wei Puti's heart, his cheeks flushed, Wei Puti took a deep look at Li Zhiyun, and withdrew his hand.

"Why is Your Highness here?"

"Passing by here today, I begged Siyan for a drink." Li Zhiyun perfunctory, then looked at Wei Nizi, "You must be Nizi."

"Yes." Wei Nizi opened her eyes wide and looked at the heroic Li Zhiyun curiously. It was the first time she had seen such a distinguished person.

Li Zhiyun said: "Gianniang has mentioned it to this king on weekdays, saying that you have a gentle personality and are a good girl."

Hearing this, Weini Zifan blushed, and refrained from speaking.

Wei Puti looked at his sister, then at Li Zhiyun, feeling a little wronged for no reason.

Li Zhiyun said a few words to them, and suggested: "If you have time in the future, you can go to the palace more often. Guiniang misses you very much."

Wei Dante said: "But we have to weave, otherwise there will be no food."

Li Zhiyun was amused by this child.

Wei Puti glared at his sister, and explained to Li Zhiyun: "The family is poor, and His Highness laughed at me."

Li Zhiyun waved his hands and said, "You are all sisters of Guiniang and sisters of this king. It is this king who has not taken good care of you. Well, if you want to, you can go back to Chang'an with me. You find a house to support you."

It's nothing more than raising a few more women.

Wei Nizi and Wei Tante seemed a little happy. With the King of Chu taking care of them, they didn't have to worry about making a living like the women in the market.Wei Puti felt a little strange in her heart, she always had the feeling of being raised by the king of Chu as a housewife.
