Jiang was disgusted and hated this eldest brother. Seeing his appearance, he couldn't help but feel sad. He cried, "My parents have not been implicated by you this time. If you still have some conscience, cheer up and don't let it happen again." The two of them are worried, ten years..."
At this point, she could no longer say anything. Their parents were nearly seventy years old.
Ten years...
I don’t know if the old couple will ever see their unsatisfactory eldest son again in this life.
Several adults cried together. Wei Hanzhang stood on one side and supported Jiang. He looked at the two sisters Jiang Zhiqin and Jiang Zhiqi. The tip of his nose felt sour and he couldn't help crying.
Her two cousins, how can they still have the appearance of being pampered in a boudoir and having nothing to worry about?
Especially the eldest cousin, Wei Hanzhang handed Jiang over to his younger brother and walked up to the two Jiang sisters.
Jiang Zhiqi came up to her, held her wrist hurriedly, and said, "Ran Ran, is the Jiang family really okay?"
Jiang Zhiqin on the side also looked over with dry eyes. Even though he was reduced to this, he still thought about his family in his heart.
Wei Hanzhang solemnly nodded: "Don't worry, the Jiang family is fine. The court remembers that my grandfather has been an official for many years and has worked hard and made great achievements, so it is open to the Jiang family..."
Only the Jiang family's main house was disposed of.
Only then did Jiang Zhiqi realize that only his family was sentenced to exile. Although he felt uncomfortable in his heart, he couldn't help but rejoice: "That's good, that's good."
She lowered her head and was about to say something, but found that her hands, which she hadn't washed for who knows how many days, left two dirty fingerprints on her little cousin's sleeves. She was startled, and quickly let go of her hands, saying sarcastically: "It's all my fault. I forgot that I was dirty and soiled Ranran's clothes."
"Where are these words!"
Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a few months, the once close sisters would become so distant.
Wei Hanzhang held her back with his backhand, and held Jiang Zhiqin next to him with the other hand, and said seriously: "I grew up in the Jiang family. Now the Jiang family has indeed suffered a small disaster, but no matter what the situation, you are all my sisters. We are sisters, why should we be so divided?"
Jiang Zhiqin had only been married for three days, which was the happiest moment in a woman's life. However, something happened to her parents' family. She thought that her husband, who had always been gentle to her, could provide her with comfort and help, but she was abandoned by her husband's family before she even thought about it. To say she fell from the clouds to hell is not enough to describe the blow she suffered.
When she heard Wei Hanzhang's words, her eyes moved slightly, showing emotion. Her pale lips, which had not drank water for a long time, were lightly pulled, and a crack appeared before she could speak.
Seeing his gentle and dignified eldest cousin look like this, Wei Hanzhang was furious: "That Zhao Junsheng is also a good candidate. He will have to come to the capital sooner or later for the Spring Festival, right? He'd better not let me bump into him. ,otherwise……"
"You are a delicate young lady in the boudoir. Your reputation is important, so you must not be reckless." Jiang Zhiqin licked the wound on his lip with the tip of his tongue. His original delicate voice was rough and said: "The Zhao family abandoned their bride to avoid disaster. Although it is not affectionate enough. , but for the sake of the future of the heirs in the family, it is not wrong."
If the daughter of a prison officer becomes the head wife, it is hard to say whether the direct descendants of this family will be able to serve as officials in the future. Even if they can, their future may be greatly affected.
The actions of the Zhao family, who have been married for many years, are certainly hateful, but they are not incomprehensible.
When it comes to the future of the family, how much friendship can be said? If a descendant of an official family cannot join the officialdom, what is the difference between him and his family? Wei Hanzhang felt distressed and helpless at the same time. Even though she was in such a situation, her eldest cousin was still so considerate and could understand the Zhao family who abandoned her.
The reunion was too brief, and the parting came too quickly. Before I could say a few more words, an official at the city gate rang the gong in his hand and called for the prisoners to assemble and set off.
Jiang accompanied her brother and sister-in-law for a while, and finally Wei Heng put his arm around his shoulders and stopped. He watched them go away and cried bitterly.
Going to Lingnan, the mountains are high and the roads are far away. Diseases and intense heat along the way may kill the prisoner. What if... I don't know if we will see that day again in this life.
No matter how unsatisfactory he is, no matter how dandy he is, he is still her biological eldest brother. …………
At the entrance of the Dali Temple prison, the scorching sun was shining in the sky.
Considering the large Jiang family, Wei Heng specially arranged for his servants to drive several carriages engraved with the Wei clan emblem, carrying his wife, children and young daughter. The family of four stood under the banyan tree, waiting to pick up his father-in-law and his family.
Mr. Jiang is not implicated by his eldest son this time. Although the official status of his other two sons is small, they are still there, which is a blessing among misfortunes.
Compared with other criminals in the Jiangnan Department, this is a great preferential treatment. Many politicians with scheming thoughts believe that Mr. Jiang's hard work and meritorious service as an official in the court were noted by His Highness the Crown Prince, so they are willing to let Jiang go. One horse in the family.
Anyone who can be remembered by His Highness, as long as he has some eyes, will not dare to neglect.
Therefore, unlike Uncle Jiang and others who were exiled in prison uniforms, the rest of the Jiang family put on regular clothes when they were released from prison. They had all been washed and dressed, and they looked clean and decent, not out of date.
Even so, when Wei Hanzhang saw his grandmother, who had become much older after not seeing her for a few months, and even walked tremblingly, he was so distressed that he trembled.
Jiang rushed forward one step ahead of her and called out: "Father, mother."
After being married for twenty years, Jiang has never seen his parents again since his father retired from office 16 years ago and the family returned to Xuzhou.
The journey is far away, and she is already a wife. As the head of the house, how can she go back to her parents' house to play without anything to do? Fortunately, her brothers often come to the capital, and her nephews come to visit her as an aunt when they come to the capital for scientific research. She also has a young daughter in foster care. The Jiang family has been quite close to each other over the years.
At other times, Jiang could only rely on letters to comfort her family members.
There were officers and soldiers outside the Dali Temple prison escorting the Jiang family out. In front of so many people, it was really not a place to release emotions.
Mrs. Jiang held back her tears, supported Mrs. Zhao, and said, "Father, mother, let's get in the carriage first. The house has been packed. We'll talk about it when we get home."
The home Jiang mentioned was the Jiang family's courtyard in the capital.
At that time, Mr. Jiang, who was a second-grade Zhongshu Ling, was also very famous in the capital. Naturally, he had a house. In recent years, the Jiang family had been taking care of it. When his family's nephews and nephews went to Beijing to take exams, they lived directly in their own house.
Wei Hanzhang helped the two old people get into the carriage. There was no room for them inside. He was about to get into the car with his second aunt at the back. When he turned around, he saw a slender figure standing not far away, watching quietly. side.
Minister of Dali Temple, Chen Zishu.
Seeing her looking over, Chen Zishu nodded slightly, as if greeting her.
Wei Hanzhang frowned. It was just a release from prison. Is it worth bothering a third-grade official like him?
Wei Heng and Jiang had not yet gotten into the car. When they saw their daughter staring in one direction, they couldn't help but follow her gaze.
The PK is over and the results will be out in the afternoon. I hope I can pass.
