But as long as the girl from the Wei family is the official wife, the Wei family's reputation will be fine. Doting on concubines and destroying wives? The Zhongyong Hou Mansion has been standing strong for a day, and on the surface the Qian family would not dare to treat the girls of his Wei Mansion harshly. As for the worries of their children, in the eyes of Liu and Weiping, it is not important at all. Just like Mrs. Liu asked, whose husband doesn’t have a few concubines in his backyard? Wei Hanzhang's three uncles had concubines, and several married cousins also had concubines. Several uncles and cousins who returned to Beijing to defend the palace also had concubines, including her father Wei Heng, who also had concubines. Not to mention Mrs. Liu was unwilling to listen at all, even if she did, she still wouldn't understand Wei Hanzhang's thoughts. In this era, the concubine she cares about is absurd and out of touch with the world. The father and daughter walked a few steps. Wei Heng looked at his daughter, who was already taller than his shoulders, and sighed again. He thought about it for a while, then finally spoke to persuade: "Your grandmother has her own reasons for her considerations. The fourth son of the Qian family is a perfect match for you. If you miss the Qian family, I'm afraid no one from the Marquis Mansion will come to discuss marriage."
Hearing this, Wei Hanzhang was startled and raised his eyes to look at him without saying a word. Under the moonlight, his expression was invisible. Seeing her silence, Wei Heng added, "It's true that he brought his concubine to our house for a visit. However, the Qian family's century-old mansion has always respected rules. I guess his elders didn't know about this. Ran Ran If you are still willing to negotiate a marriage with the Qian family, your father will ask the husband of the Qian family to send this concubine away before your marriage." He said warmly: "Don't worry, after you get married, if he dares to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife, his father will not sit idly by and watch. With two elders watching, he will never be so out of tune again. Wait. Now that you have gotten to know each other well, with my son’s character, talent and appearance, why worry about the lack of affection between husband and wife?” Wei Hanzhang listened quietly to Wei Heng's sincere persuasion. As a father, he was indeed responsible, and he was really careful and thoughtful to resolve his daughter's worries and dissatisfaction with the marriage one by one. If you are not satisfied that the other party has an extramarital affair, then send him away before marriage. If you are dissatisfied with Qian Silang's behavior, then promise to take care of her after marriage and prevent her from being bullied after marriage. She also firmly believes that her daughter’s talent and beauty will definitely win her husband’s love and affection. Although he said it politely, he actually recognized Liu in his heart. He wants to marry into the Qian Mansion. After coming to this conclusion, Wei Hanzhang couldn't tell how he felt. He was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Dad, what do you think of your relationship with A Niang?" Wei Heng looked slightly startled and said: "Your mother is gentle and virtuous. She is generous to my concubine and impartial in the upbringing of her children. She has never been jealous or tyrannical. With her here, I don't need to worry about the affairs of the house." "That's right," Wei Hanzhang nodded slowly and concluded: "My mother is indeed gentle and virtuous. I have been in harmony with you and have treated you like guests for half my life." At this point, she paused and then said: "So, do you think you and your wife are loving?" "...What does Ran Ran want to say?" Wei Heng's face turned pale, and he lowered his head and said, "What do you think is the bad relationship between me and your mother?" "It's just a way of living together," Wei Hanzhang felt an uncontrollable irritation in her heart after seeing the indifference to family affection in this prince's mansion and thinking about the ending of the Jiang family in the original novel. She said bluntly, "If this is also good, Then who will my mother-in-law marry on that day and have a bad life?" They spend their lives like this. It is true that they respect and respect their husband. There may be some affection, but where is there any talk of affection?
The man himself has no idea how much he has benefited from his concubines, dancers, and maids, yet he still expects his wife to consistently think that this marriage is a 'loving' one. You are my only one, and I am one of yours, so how can we talk about love?
Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to think that a woman's heart is made of stone and invulnerable?
Except for a few slaves carrying a chariot in the distance, there was no one else in the courtyard at night. It was extremely quiet. Wei Hanzhang's voice was clearly audible, but Wei Heng still suspected that he had heard it wrong. He frowned and said in a heavier voice: "What did you just say?" "What I mean is that A Niang can be gentle and virtuous, be generous to concubines, and be impartial to concubines. It's not that she is born without the emotion of 'jealousy', but that she doesn't care, or that she already knew, It’s useless to worry about this.” "I'm the same as Auntie. If my husband looks for someone else in the future and is cruel, I can manage not to care," Wei Hanzhang said softly but firmly, "But that's not mutual affection between husband and wife, let alone 'love.' , no one would want such 'love'."
She looked calm and concluded: "That's called 'living together', it doesn't matter who the partner is." After saying this, Wei Hanzhang took a deep breath, summoned his carriage, and retired behind Wei Heng, who was standing motionless. Tonight was the first time since she returned to Wei Mansion that she had a private conversation with Wei Heng, her biological father. Her words may have been a bit disobedient, but they were not honest and she spoke from her heart. Are all men so confident that they really feel that while their wives and concubines are in harmony, they can also wholeheartedly admire themselves and be loving and affectionate? ………… After his daughter left for a long time, Wei Heng, who was standing still, slowly moved and got on the sedan chair. Jingya Hall. Today there was a banquet at the house, and the daughters-in-law entertained the distinguished guests with great spirits. Jiang was recovering from a serious illness and had been taking medicine to nurse her back to health. She finally got better, but she couldn't bear the burden. Went to bed early. He didn't know that his daughter was called to the study room overnight, nor did he know about the exchange between father and daughter. When Wei Heng came, except for the two lanterns under the eaves of Jingya Hall, the entire courtyard was shrouded in the moonlight, looking quiet and lonely. Seeing the male master arriving, the woman who was keeping watch at night was about to call someone to wait on her, but was interrupted by Wei Heng's hiss. He bypassed the woman who was keeping watch at night and entered the room. He also waved away the two maids who were keeping watch at night, and walked to the bed alone. Putting your hands on the collar of the shirt, the inner buttons were unbuttoned one by one... Jiang woke up from the heat. She was always afraid of cold but not heat. Even though it was already midsummer, there was no ice in the room. It was originally covered with a brocade quilt, which was just right, but tonight she felt inexplicably hot. I wanted to turn over and find a cooler place to lie down, but I couldn't move... "Madam, are you awake?" Just as he moved uneasily, a voice came from his ears. Jiang opened his eyes, looked at Wei Heng's face close at hand, and frowned, "Why are you here, sir?" "Why can't you come here?" Wei Heng smiled slightly, suppressed the sorrow in his heart, and said softly: "I can't remember when did Madam stop calling me husband?" "The children are about to get married. Isn't it ridiculous to still call them the same names they used when they first got married?" Jiang held his arm and said, "I'm a little hot. Master, please let go of me." (This chapter) over)
