Doting on concubines and destroying wives?I've become cannon fodder for this nerd's fight.

Chapter 14
On the female side, Mrs. Hou Shizi of Yongle was welcoming the guests. Seeing that the Wei family had arrived, and Mrs. Hou's wife, Mrs. Liu, was among them, her face immediately showed some eagerness, and she welcomed them into the inner courtyard.

Several distinguished guests who had arrived earlier were already sitting in the main courtyard. As soon as Mrs. Liu led the female family members in, Mrs. Yongle Hou stood up from her chair and came to greet her personally: "You are finally here. I was talking about you just now."

Although they were a generation apart, they were both the first-class wives. They exchanged greetings and took their seats.

Mrs. Yongle Hou turned around and greeted Mr. Qian very politely, and then looked at her future second daughter-in-law. The more she looked at her, the more satisfied she became. After asking a few questions carefully, she suddenly saw the unfamiliar face of Wei Hanzhang.

Her eyes lit up and she said with a smile: "This must be the ninth girl of your house. She really is like a goddess of Gushe as rumored. She is unforgettable. I feel happy when I look at my age. I really don't want to go out for a walk." Do you know how many young masters you want to charm?"

Mrs. Liu took her granddaughter's hand, patted it gently, and said warmly: "It hasn't been officially decided yet, but we already have a candidate."

"That's really a miss, a miss," Mrs. Yongle Hou said regretfully: "It's rare to see such an outstanding girl. I still want to be a matchmaker for my nephew."

Mrs. Yongle Hou's maiden family is Chen Guogong's house, and the nephew she talks about should be Chen Guogong's eldest son Chen Zishu. At a young age, he has become an official of Dali Temple. He has not yet married a wife in his weak years. He is a rare candidate for a good son-in-law from aristocratic families in the capital.

When Jiang heard this, she couldn't help but regretted agreeing to the Gu family's marriage so early.

In Jiang's eyes, her pretty little girl is more than worthy of anyone, so why leave it to the Beijing aristocratic family?

I originally thought that it wouldn't matter if the Gu family was far away in Xuzhou. The most important thing was that my daughter's marriage went smoothly. However, I didn't realize that even this was not possible. How could I not regret it.

Although there was no guarantee that she would be a match, Mrs. Yonglehou still took off the jade bracelet from her wrist and gave it to Wei Hanzhang as a meeting gift. She smiled kindly and said, "Looks like he is a lucky child. Don't stay here and go out to play." Bar."

She summoned a maid behind her and ordered: "Take the guests to the garden and don't neglect them."

As soon as the four sisters came out of the main hall and entered the back garden of the Hou Mansion, the spring scenery was beautiful at this time. They walked for a while casually and just when they decided to go to Feihua Hall to have a look, they heard Wei Hanyu say: "Sister Shuang, Ran Ran, I Sister Su and I want to visit the Jiuqu Pavilion over there."

Wei Hansu also looked a little shy, and said with a hint of hope in his eyes: "I have heard that the Jiuqu Pavilion in the Yongle Marquis Mansion is very beautiful. Since I am lucky enough to be here today, I want to go and see it."

"Then you go," Wei Hanshuang smiled faintly, "But this is someone else's mansion. You are not familiar with the way, so you can't live without your maid."

After saying that, Wei Hanshuang said to the maid next to them: "Take good care of your young ladies. If something goes wrong..."

She didn't finish the rest of the words, but the intimidation contained in them made Wei Han and Su Wei Hanyu's two maids shrink their shoulders and agree.

Even Wei Hanzhang heard the profound meaning of her words. On the way to Feihua Hall, he couldn't help but tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong with them?"

"Who can say for sure? Look at the way they are dressed today. Maybe they want to take advantage of this banquet to find a suitable husband. That's okay. It's human nature, as long as they don't do anything to bring shame on the Wei family. Can."

Wei Hanshuang glanced at her with a smile, and said with some surprise: "I wonder why they walked so fast. I'm afraid they feel that no matter how beautiful they are, being next to us Ran Ran is not very glamorous. No wonder they can't wait to stay away from you." .”

Wei Hanzhang has become accustomed to her, the sixth sister, joking from time to time, so he couldn't help but smile: "Aren't you afraid that my sixth sister will suppress your glory?"

"I don't need to find a good husband, so there's nothing to be afraid of." Wei Hanshuang reached out and hit her forehead, warning: "Don't smile at people like that. Look carefully for any good husband you see passing by and lose your soul. "

The atmosphere of the Daling Dynasty was open, and men and women were not strictly guarded. Although the banquet was divided between men and women, they were all in the garden and could meet at any time.Therefore, no matter which party holds a banquet, it is basically a good time for unmarried girls and young men to find marriage.

This is also the reason why Wei Hansu and the others insist on staying away from Wei Hanzhang.

It was exactly as Wei Hanshuang guessed.

The two sisters chatted while walking and met several groups of male customers. They did not shy away from it and greeted them naturally. They walked to Feihua Hall and were about to go in when a woman with disheveled hair and tears on her face suddenly rushed out. .

The woman was extremely fast and bumped Wei Hanzhang's shoulder, causing her to stumble. She paused for a moment, turned her head and apologized in a low voice, and ran away without a trace.

Wei Hanyue supported her sister, raised her head to look at the plaque of Feihua Hall, and asked the maid of Yongle Houfu behind her: "Do you know the woman just now?"

The two maids looked at each other and shook their heads: "I don't know."

"..." Wei Hanzhang pursed his lips and said nothing. He looked unfamiliar.

She looked at Wei Hanshuang and said, "Are we still going in?"

Maybe here...

Wei Hanshuang pondered for a moment: "That's all, the banquet is about to start, let's not be late."

Her wedding date has been set, in early July, and she will get married in less than three months. This is indeed not the right time to interfere in the private affairs of the Yongle Marquis.

Wei Hanzhang had no objection to this. She had no curiosity. It was normal for her to be a little secretive in the courtyard of a deep house. Not to mention Hou Men, her uncle's backyard was also very lively even in the Jiang family.

Although no one would intentionally spread dirty things to her ears, after all, she grew up in the Jiang family, so she would always know something about it.

The two sisters returned the same way. It was a wasted trip, but it did not affect their mood. They chatted and smiled all the way, but they saw Wei Hanyu's personal maid walking towards them anxiously.

Seeing the two legitimate daughters in the mansion, the maid breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down on the ground and said urgently: "Two girls, our eighth girl was enjoying the scenery in Jiuqu Pavilion, and we missed the step and fell into the lake."

Wei Hanshuang's expression suddenly changed: "Is there a male guest here? Have you been rescued? Why are you so careless!"

"There are a lot of male guests over there. The girl was rescued by the young cousin of the Yongle Houfu. She was already awake when I left. The seventh girl was there and sent her slaves to look for the people in our house."

The maidservant burst into tears and kowtowed: "I dare not lie to you. When our eighth girl woke up, she said that someone pushed her from behind and pushed her into the lake."

It's not an accident?

Wei Hanzhang's brows furrowed tightly. Why did Wei Hanyu, a daughter of a concubine of the Hou family who seldom went out to socialize, push her into the water?
Could it be that he prevented disaster for others?
Wei Hanshuang obviously thought the same way. There must be a motive for harming others. If he came after Zhongyong Marquis, attacking a concubine's daughter would not have any impact.
