Daughter of Hou's Mansion

Mrs. Li was so angry at Rongshoutang that she went back to her yard angrily. Wei Qingyu thought about it and followed her in step by step.

He personally held a cup of tea, handed it to Li Shi and said, "Mother, calm down."

Mrs. Li drank a cup of herbal tea in one breath, and then cursed: "That old woman is also a reckless person. If the master and I hadn't sent someone to bring her back, I'm afraid she would have ended up in that poor place where no shit After living this life, why should she?"

"She is the big brother." Wei Qingyu's eyes flickered slightly. Wei Che's early return also made her feel a strong sense of crisis. After all, Wei Che is the Marquis of Weiyuan. Northwest has experienced it before, and it is not as easy to be fooled as Wei Qingluan.

Wei Qingyu's words reminded Mrs. Li, she nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, you are right, the old woman used to be able to avoid harm, but today she tried her best to suppress me, and defended Wei Qingluan several times. Xiao Jianren must have seen Wei Che step by step, thinking about boarding the big ship of Dafang."

"Mother, let daddy talk to big brother. My daughter still respects and trusts daddy when she sees big brother. You ask daddy to tell big brother that we are his blood relatives." Wei Qingyu said Pulling Li Shi's sleeve, he said, "The old lady is always the stepmother, but there are not many good stepmothers."

"Don't worry, you don't need to talk about this, your father knows it very well." Li Shi still knows her husband very well, and Wei Yanhuai can only rely on family affection if he wants to hold Wei Che. I am optimistic about Yuan'er, and I will not allow her to treat Wei Qingluan that little tramp like before, even if she pretends to be harmonious, the most important thing in Wei Che's heart is that little tramp, knowing that we treat her well , he will treat us well."

"Mother, my sister knows the seriousness, so I didn't quarrel with her today." Wei Qingyu sat down next to Mrs. Li, "Mother, I don't want to move out of the Marquis of Weiyuan."

Mrs. Li comforted, "If we don't move, we won't mention it, and Wei Che won't be able to drive us away."

"But big brother is going to get married soon, and after the Liu family gets married, mother's bounty is bound to be handed over, what shall we do then?" Well, if she goes back to the bitter days before, she will go crazy.

"I heard that the eldest girl of the Liu family is also very powerful. Because she has an engagement with her elder brother, she has been learning how to take care of the inner courtyard since she was 12 years old. The Liu family is well organized by her. Mother, you said she would I don't know how to check the account books, so what if I find something wrong?" Wei Qingyu knew very well that in the past three years, Mrs. Li has used the power of the family to embezzle a lot of money, and it would be bad if this matter was investigated.

"So, we can't let this marriage go through." Li Shi said fiercely.

"But this marriage was decided by my uncle and aunt before they were alive, how could it be ruined casually."

"Yeah, it's not easy to ruin a marriage, but it's possible to make a marriage so twists and turns. I heard that the Liu family is a scholarly family, and Mrs. Liu only has Mrs. Liu as his first wife in the backyard, and half of the concubines are missing. It must be the girl of the Liu family Growing up in such a family environment, I hate concubines the most, if we can give Wei Che a concubine before we get married, I am afraid that the Liu family will not be able to swallow it." This is extremely taboo in the honorable family, you must know that the disunity between the concubine and the concubine is the root of chaos in the family.

Wei Qingyu rolled her eyes and said: "What mother said is that even if Miss Liu marries in, she will feel cold towards her elder brother. As long as their husband and wife are not in harmony, we can take advantage of it. It's just that the candidate for this concubine room It should be a good choice.”

"Isn't there a ready-made candidate?" Li Shi pouted in the direction of Wei Qingyu's yard.

"Mother is talking about Cousin Qin." Wei Qingyu really deserved to be crawled out of Li Shi's stomach, she only needs to look at her to understand what she is thinking, "But will Cousin Qin be willing? She is not particularly beautiful. , will big brother like it?"

Li's grandfather also served as an official in Shangjing, but the Li family probably didn't have a good seat in the ancestral grave, and there was no more talent after that. The few brothers in the family couldn't even pass the exam as a scholar, and among the married daughters, only Li's life was better, especially after she took charge of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, the Li family also gained a lot of benefits.That's why my snobbish sister-in-law sent her a pair of children, and wanted her to help plan a good marriage.

This Shangjing is full of noble people, and marriage matters are well-matched. With Li Qin's family status, what good marriage can you say? Official wives of officials and petty officials are much more respectable.

Mrs. Li is full of contempt for her sister-in-law's behavior of climbing high branches, but she doesn't think about the fact that she wants to make a good marriage for Wei Ling and Wei Qingyu, uh, maybe in her heart, she is a member of the Marquis of Weiyuan "Acting" mistress, this status is much higher than her brother and sister-in-law.

"Wei Zi, go and call Biao girl over, just say that I want to talk to her." Mrs. Li ordered to the big maid standing beside her.

Li Qin came very quickly, still holding a box of rouge in his hand, and after saluting to Li Shi, he said: "Auntie, this is the rouge that my brother bought from outside. skin tone, if you use it, you will look ten years younger."

Li Qin is indeed good at coaxing people, every time he gives people some worthless little things, he will say that there is nothing in the sky and nothing on earth, making people dizzy.

Mrs. Li accepted it happily, and said cheerfully, "It's still Qin'er who loves people."

Wei Qingyu watched from the side with a smile, not jealous of Li Shi and Li Qin's intimacy at all, anyway, no matter how Li Qin tried to please her, she was no match for her own daughter, and Li Qin surrounded their family to please her The appearance gave her a sense of superiority from the bottom of her heart.

"Mother, if you like Cousin Qin'er so much, why don't you just keep her by your side." Qingyu said again.

"Okay, Qin'er, what do you think of this Weiyuan Hou's Mansion?" Mrs. Li asked, taking Li Qin's hand.

Li Qin's heart skipped a beat. She knew that her aunt had a lot of vanity, so from the moment they arrived in Shangjing, she followed Li's hair and tried every means to please Wei Qingyu and Wei Qingyuan, just for the sake of Fight for a future for yourself.

"Weiyuanhou's Mansion is naturally very good." Li Qin said, Li's family has become more and more desolate in these years, so since Li Qin lived in Weiyuanhou's Mansion, the whole person seems to have entered a honeypot , She never thought that her aunt was so powerful that she could hold such a big Marquis Mansion in her own hands. Compared with the luxurious life of Wei Qingyu and sisters, her previous life was like a beggar. This Weiyuan Marquis Mansion She was reluctant to leave.

"We, Che'er, are only 22 years old this year. We have already made achievements at such a young age. We can be regarded as young heroes." Li changed the subject and brought the topic to Wei Che.

Li Qin only felt her heart beating more and more violently. She had already vaguely guessed what Li Shi was going to say. Although she had never met Wei Che, his name had been passed down in the Marquis of Weiyuan these two days. The deeds of the old Han King are compiled into stories one by one.

No girl is pregnant, not to mention that Li Qin is already 17 years old. Most of the girls at this age are already married, but she has not yet settled down. The reason why her mother asked her to accompany her brother to Beijing was to borrow the help of the Marquis of Weiyuan. Connections, but Marquis Wei Che of Weiyuan was something she didn't even dare to think about. Could she really do it?

Li Qin lowered his head slightly, his heart was about to move.

"Qin'er, your father and mother said they wanted me to find you a good family, but my aunt didn't hide it from you. It's not easy to find such a good family. The Li family is a scholarly family, but now there is no one. People who can support the family, not to mention good relatives, even small officials of the sixth or seventh rank may not be liked." Li Shi stared at Li Qin, she knew this niece, she was clever and clever. , but no great wisdom, looking at the master with all his heart, but it is very easy to handle, such a person is easy to control after all.

Li Qin clenched his hands subconsciously when he heard Li Shi's words, with a trace of embarrassment on his face.

"Could it be that you came to Beijing just to live a poor life with daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, where every expense is preoccupied. Look at the brocade skirt you're wearing, I'm afraid you won't be able to wear it for the rest of your life." Li Shi asked road.

Li Qin's face turned slightly pale, and he stood up and said to Li Shifu, "Auntie, please take pity on Qin'er."

"Get up, I'm your aunt, can I not think about you?" Mrs. Li helped Li Qin up and said, "As long as you listen to me, I will definitely find you a good home."

*****************

In the evening, the lights in the High Heaven Pavilion were lit, and the maids were coming in and out to prepare, and Li Shi personally directed it from the side, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Qingluan changed into a pink double-breasted jacket with a Yuehua skirt underneath, which looked very fresh and lovely.

"Go to the second gate and ask if brother is back?"

Qiao'er hurriedly responded, and came back after a while, "Master Hou has already returned. When I came back just now, I met Sister Dongxue and said that Master Hou went to the ancestral hall alone."

Qingluan's thoughts changed slightly. Back then, her parents forgot all about it overnight. The pain her brother suffered was far more profound than hers. She felt a little worried, so she stood up and said, "I'll go and see him, you don't have to follow. "

Qingluan hurriedly went to the ancestral hall, but when he got there, he saw that the door was open, but the woman guarding the door was not there, presumably he was sent away by his brother.Qingluan was hesitant to go in and have a look. The elder brother would come to the ancestral hall alone, presumably because he didn't want others to see his weakness.

Qingluan still remembers that in front of her parents' mourning hall, her brother didn't shed a single tear. He kept all the pain in his heart. After the funeral, he was ill for two full months. At that time, she was very sad. Afraid, afraid that her only relative would leave her, and regardless of whether she could take care of him, she insisted on staying by his bedside.Probably seeing her fear, my brother assured her that he would recover, and sure enough, the lingering illness gradually recovered.

Thinking of this, Qingluan walked in.

The big tree in the yard blocked the last ray of sunlight, but candles were lit inside the ancestral hall.

The door of the ancestral hall was not wide open, leaving a gap that could allow one person to pass through. Qingluan subconsciously slowed down her steps. She saw her brother kneeling in front of the memorial tablet. His shoulders were very generous, but in the cold ancestral hall But it seemed lonely.

Qingluan was about to go in to accompany his brother, but he heard him say: "Father, mother, I will take good care of Luan'er, you don't have to worry."

Qingluan's heart warmed up, her steps stopped, and when she heard Wei Che's change of tone, her tone suddenly changed sharply, "Father, mother, don't worry, I won't let those people who killed you have a better life." , I will definitely find them and avenge you."

Qingluan's head thumped, what did she hear, her parents didn't die in an accident but died of suicide?Did someone specifically want their lives?Who will it be?Is it the second uncle?As soon as Wei Yanhuai's name came into Qingluan's head, she shook her head, it couldn't be his, if he had this ability, he wouldn't be idle all his life, and would only dare to plot against them juniors.

Qingluan suddenly remembered the final result of the big house of the Wei family in the last life, the family was ruined and the family was destroyed. Who is it that is so vicious and wants to kill them.

A layer of cold sweat involuntarily broke out on the back, and shivered involuntarily when the wind blew, Qingluan's body swayed slightly, and in order to prevent falling, he put his hands on the heavy door and made a slight sound.

Wei Che inside was startled awake, turned around almost at the same time, and shouted sharply, "Who?"

The sharp eyes froze for a moment when they met Qingluan, and then asked softly, "Luaner, why are you here?"

"Brother." Qingluan's voice trembled slightly, her face turned pale.

Wei Che quickly jumped up from the ground, ran to Qingluan, held her hand, only to realize that her palm was cold, recalling what he said before the tablet just now, he couldn't help but secretly annoyed at his impulsiveness, how could these words make her feel cold? My sister will be afraid when she hears it.

"Luan'er, don't be afraid, brother will protect you." Wei Che put his arms around Qingluan.

"Brother, is what you said true? Parents were killed by someone, who killed them." Qingluan had already regained consciousness at this time, and asked while pulling Wei Che's lapel.

"Luan'er, you don't need to worry about these things, brother will take care of it." Wei Che didn't want his sister to bear so much, so he had to say.

"How can I not care about it? Those are my parents." Qingluan's voice suddenly rose, and a bright light burst out from her eyes. In her last life, she didn't understand anything and didn't care about anything. When she was in prison, she was kicked out of her stomach by that scumbag Lin Zixuan, and she was imprisoned in the firewood room. In the end, she could only be buried with Bai Shuangshuang. Behind her, Miss Weiyuan Hou who doesn't understand anything, she wants to know everything, even if her strength is limited, she has to share it with her brother.

"Brother, I've grown up, and my surname is Wei." Qingluan said stubbornly, with an unstoppable persistence in his eyes.

Wei Che couldn't help sighing, took Qingluan's hand and said, "Let's go out and talk, it's too cold here, be careful if you catch a cold."

Qingluan then nodded obediently.

The two brothers and sisters stepped out of the ancestral hall, and Wei Che said slowly, "I don't know much. Back then when my father and mother came back from the countryside, they said that they met bandits and their property was looted, but Jing Zhaoyi checked it out." After so many years, no results have been found, and it is said that those rogues are not easy to find."

Qingluan couldn't help but tighten Wei Che's hand. The identities of Wei Yanhuai and his wife are not ordinary people. Even the late emperor was alarmed and ordered Jing Zhaoyi to investigate with all his strength, so he must give the Wei family an explanation.After so many years, there is still no clue at all, which is indeed suspicious.

"This time when I came back from the northwest, I caught a group of robbers who were robbing passing merchants. One of them was a bandit from back then." Wei Che couldn't help feeling a bit of hatred when he said this, but he knew very well Well, those so-called rogues were only instigated by others, and the person who really ordered his parents to kill him was the instigator.

"That person was just an insignificant pawn, but he said that the night before they acted, a man in brocade clothes had come to their heads, and after that they moved their hands on their parents, and that person It is said that their head ordered not to let go of even a piece of paper, so I think they should be looking for something." Wei Che said.

Qingluan's heart trembled slightly, something?What exactly caused the death of parents.

"Brother, although those people are not the masterminds, they are the ones who really did the tricks, and we can't let them go, especially the leader, who has actually negotiated with the mastermind behind the scenes, and we can only find the real one through her. Your enemy," Qingluan said coldly.

"That's natural. It's just that since then, their group has fled everywhere, but even if it's the ends of the earth, my brother will find them." After Wei Che said this, he turned around Qingluan, " Luan'er, you are still young, my brother only hopes that you can be happy and don't care about anything else, but you seem to have grown up, and your temper is stubborn, my brother really has nothing to do with you."

Qingluan's heart warmed up, and she smiled at Wei Che: "Brother, Luan'er will be fine, and you will be fine too."

The ancestral hall was far away, and there were people on the road. The brother and sister tacitly did not mention the matter of the enemy, and went to the Ling Xiao Pavilion arm in arm.

The people in the second room were already there. Seeing the two brothers and sisters come in, Wei Qingyu couldn't help curling her lips and said in a low voice: "Followers."

This was the first time Li Qin saw Wei Che, his eyes lit up when he saw Wei Che, and his heart was beating wildly.

Mrs. Li stepped forward with a smile and said, "Che'er, come on, Second Aunt will introduce you to two people. These are my natal nephew and niece, Li Xiao and Li Qin. Brother Xiao is here for next year's Spring Festival. Qin I'm here to take care of Brother Xiao."

Qingluan looked up, and could tell that Li Qin had put a lot of effort into dressing today, her skin was extremely pale under the bright yellow clothes, she was two years older than Wei Qingyu, even though she looked It is not as gorgeous as Wei Qingyu, but it has a mature charm, which is a woman's best years. The red magnolia flower hairpin on her head emits a soft brilliance under the light.

Beside Li Qin was a handsome young man with a lake-colored gown, and his brows and eyes were high-spirited. As soon as Li's words fell, Li Xiao bowed to Wei Che and said loudly: "Mr. , recently it has been crowned in Beijing."

Qingluan frowned slightly, why did this Li Xiao talk to her brother in such a tone.

Li Qin was also taken aback by her brother's performance, but she also knew that her brother had always been a book businessman, and looked down on that kind of honorable man who was shaded by his ancestors. In his eyes, this Wei Che was If this kind of person hadn't been repeatedly instructed by his parents before he came, he would still not be willing to live in the Weiyuan Hou Mansion.

Li Qin hurriedly stepped forward and added: "Brother, what you mean is that you are a young hero, Lord Hou. It can be said that you are a blockbuster. When my aunt told Qin'er, she was full of praise."

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Everyone, don't crowd around here, go in first." After saying that, he gave Li Xiao a fierce look, if this defiant personality doesn't change, even if he is lucky enough to pass the exam and enter the officialdom, it will be a curse.

Although Wei Che was dissatisfied with Li Xiao's conceit, but seeing that Li's face didn't get angry, a group of people entered the table, and after a while, the Sanfang family also rushed over.

Hearing the maid's report, Wei Che got up and went to the door himself, but Wei Yanhuai didn't get up as an elder.

Shi Rongzi is angry with me.As soon as Wei Yansi saw Wei Che, he smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Good boy, you really deserve to be from our Wei family." 13acv.

This familiar way of greeting is the most common in the army, and Wei Che couldn't help but smile, "Third Uncle, Third Aunt."

Yan Shi smiled softly, but Wei Huaishan in her arms suddenly opened his hands towards Wei Che.

"Shan'er, this is the big brother." Yan Shi watched Aizi's movements and introduced him in a low voice.

Only then did Wei Che set his sights on Wei Huaishan. He knew about this younger brother. He was said to be an idiot. He never spoke when he was four years old. He was always in a daze. He was not as lively as ordinary children. ,

"Hmm." Wei Huaishan threw himself towards Wei Che. Yan's stature is already petite, and it was a bit difficult to hold Wei Huaishan, but he didn't want him to suddenly struggle vigorously, and he couldn't help but look at Wei Huaishan She was about to fall to the ground, and Yan couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, but when she saw a blur in front of her eyes, she lightened her hand, and it was Wei Che who picked up her silly son.

"Hehe..." Wei Huaishan seemed to like Wei Che's appearance very much, and giggled as soon as he got into his arms.

Yan Shi was slightly surprised, Wei Huaishan had never shown such strong feelings to anyone, even her mother could only get a smile from him occasionally.

"Third Uncle, Third Aunt, let's go in." Wei Che raised Wei Huaishan high up, and sure enough, the laughter grew even louder.

At this time, the old lady also came to the High Heaven Pavilion accompanied by the maid, and seeing this warm scene, she couldn't help saying: "I didn't expect that Che'er and Shan'er are destined to be destined."

"Grandmother." Wei Che stopped and greeted Mrs. Qin respectfully.

Wei Yansi was a little strange. He didn't expect that Wei Che would respect this unrelated Qin family so much. You must know that the grandchildren in the family used to call her old lady, but it was all superficial respect. A trace of intimacy.
