The girl is not good in this life

Chapter 366 has nothing to do with this
Everyone met, Jiang Wan naturally followed Mrs. Cui to the direction of the inner courtyard.

Anyway, we have to stay at Wei's house for lunch.

Don't stick to this either.

Zhao Xing and Jiang Yuanzhan followed Wei Yanming to the main hall.

Wei Yanming's sons also accompanied him.

As soon as he was seated, Wei Yanming introduced Zhao Xing first.

In fact, we have heard a lot about the situation of the Wei family from the mouth of the Wei family.

Wei Yanming was not a competitive soldier when he was young, he was lecherous and romantic, and at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he took a lot of Tongfang by his side.

Later, the old magistrate kicked him out of the house angrily and told him to go out to study, but he was not allowed to go home if the old magistrate was not satisfied.

It took about four years before he returned to the Wei family.

When he proposed to marry Cui Shi, he was already a very capable gentleman.

However, he kept those former houses and did not let them go.

Cui himself seems to be extraordinarily generous in these matters.

Thinking that after all, he had served Wei Yanming once, and he had been by his side since he was a child, it would be too unhuman to drive him away as soon as he said he would.

After staying in this inner house for so many years, I finally managed to earn some fame.

Now there are three concubines around Wei Yanming, except for the younger one who was taken in by him after marriage, and the other two are all his concubines who used to follow him.

He had five sons and three daughters, and the Wei family was indeed thriving.

However, the Cui family only gave birth to two sons and one daughter, and the rest were concubines.

Those children didn't get any official titles, so they should have received a big gift, but Zhao Xing and Jiang Yuanzhan were people who didn't care about this, and looking at Wei's face, they just waved their hands and said no.

Everyone talks about friends in the same generation, just a simple courtesy.

Greetings are pleasantries, I don't have so much to say to them.

As for other things, Wei Yanming really wanted to ask, but it was all a matter for the court, no matter how much he wanted to, he didn't dare to speak rashly.

Zhao Xing and Jiang Yuanzhan didn't come here purely for visits, so after taking a full view of Wei Yanming's expression, they looked at each other and understood.

Jiang Yuanzhan first called Uncle Shi, and then asked: "This Kuaiji County Sheriff, I heard that he came from a side branch of the Wei family. Is that the case?"

Wei Yanming's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought that it was true.

He and Zhao Xing are afraid that those who come will not be kind, and those who are kind will not come.

Mostly they came here to inquire about Wei Zhichao.

Or I hope to hear something from him about what happened in Kuaiji County over the years.

"He is indeed a side branch."

Wei Yanming sighed inaudibly.

In these matters, too, there is nothing to hide.

Zhao Xing is an imperial envoy by order, if he conceals something from Zhao Xing, it will be tantamount to deceiving the emperor.

Besides, the Wei family was originally innocent, even if Wei Zhichao really had something, it had nothing to do with the Wei family.

It would be a bad thing if he helped to take sides and cover up.

Wei Yanming is not someone who can't figure it out.

"You may not be particularly familiar with the situation in Kuaiji - the duke title of Wei's county has been passed on for several generations. The eldest son inherits the title, and the first son in the family is not allowed to be an official with real power. Not much official.

Our family has always been like this.

So don't look at having the title of Duke of the county and the in-laws of the Gu family. In fact, the situation and status are very embarrassing.

Still from the time of the first emperor, he was extra merciful.

Since the prince said that he is from his own family, he only cares about Amei's face, so I would like to say that there are no outsiders here today, since they are all from my own family, then I can say whatever I want.

When the first emperor was there, he acquiesced that the prefect of Kuaiji was from the Wei family.

But it can only come from the offshoot of the Wei family.

So from the first emperor's dynasty to the present, there have been five or six prefects in Kuaiji, all of whom are descendants of the Wei family.

The most talented and capable child is selected from the side branches, and the whole family assists them.

It's just that a side branch is a side branch after all, no matter how great your skills and abilities are, even if you become a great official, it won't hinder our family.

It's just that everyone has the same ancestry, and they all have the surname Wei. "

The last two sentences clearly differentiated himself from Wei Zhichao.

Wei Yanming is Wei Yanming, and Wei Zhichao is Wei Zhichao, they have nothing to do with each other.

Even if they belong to the same family and belong to the same Wei, he doesn't know what Wei Zhichao has done, and he has no intention of interfering.

That's probably what it means.

Zhao Xing just said a few times: "Then Mr. Wei has been an official outside these years, handling the affairs of Kuaiji County, and the county magistrate has no knowledge at all, and has never asked?"

Wei Yanming said categorically: "Although I am the Duke of Kuaiji County, I only have a title and only a title.

The affairs of the county are government affairs, and that is practical affairs. How can I intervene?

One is that I never do such transgressive things, and the other is that the imperial court absolutely does not allow me to transgress. "

Anyway, we have already talked about this part, so Zhao Xing almost asked clearly. Wei Yanming thought about it for a while, and then asked him: "My lord and Yuan Zhan came here today, except to walk around for my sister. , I also want to ask about Wei Zhichao's situation?"

Zhao Xing hummed: "You can't hide it from the Duke."

Wei Yanming laughed: "But there is really not much I can do to help the prince. I have always ignored him when he was doing things outside.

It is said that it is the assistant of the whole family, but the prince can probably think of it.

In our family, why do we have to assist a Kuaiji county magistrate?

The title of Duke of Kuaiji, as long as my family does not make any serious mistakes, the court will not take it away.

That being the case, not to mention me, even the children in the family, there is no need to get involved in those messy things.

Needless to say, my Dalang, the title will be his sooner or later.

The rest of them are either not in good health, or they are really not up to date, or they are still young, so naturally they don't know what's going on outside.

As for Wei Zhichao—”

After protracting his tone, he sighed: "Actually, I know him. Back then, I, Aye, was the one who chose him from the side branch."

The old Duke of the Wei family is well-known for his work.

He was able to choose Wei Zhichao back then, which shows that Wei Zhichao was indeed capable when he was young.

This is what Wei Yanming wanted to tell them.

"The Duke feels that his nature is not bad, even if he did something, maybe it is justifiable?"

Wei Yanming shook his head resolutely and said no: "I just want to tell the prince that Wei Zhichao is a good person, but he has been in the ups and downs of the officialdom for more than ten years. I really don't know what kind of heart he is now and how he will act.

But there is one thing I can assure the lord - if Wei Zhichao really committed a crime, no matter what he did, the Wei family has absolutely nothing to do with it, and it is impossible to help him even half of it! "

Zhao Xing believed what he said.

Maybe because he is Wei Yanming.

Long before leaving the capital, the elder brother had told him in private that Wei Yanming was a good person.

As for how good it is, until today, Zhao Xing finally figured it out.
