Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan.

Chapter 332: Wei Zhixing, the Third Son of the Wei Family

What Zhang Guifen said does not make sense.

But Wei Yuan believes that he has overcome all difficulties to get to where he is today because he does not want the younger generations and those who come after him to continue following his old path.

He walked the old path that he thought was like walking on thin ice and was trembling with fear.

Therefore, he hoped that Minglan could make her own judgment.

During the period of Wei Yuan's rest, he basically did not go out of the house.

Even if I want to travel, I must bring Sister Jing with me.

In the past few days, the father-daughter relationship between Jing Jie'er and Wei Yuan has skyrocketed.

However, the relationship between Zhuangge'er and him became more and more distant.

Baozhu was very puzzled about this and said, "Madam, Sister Jing and Brother Zhuang are both your biological children. Other families prefer sons to daughters, but why do you prefer daughters to sons in your family?"

Zhang Guifen covered her mouth and laughed, "What do you mean by favoring girls over boys? Do you know that great love is silent?"

Great love is silent?

Baozhu frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

The future owner of the Wei Mansion will be Wei Qiji.

He will have to take on everything that Wei Yuan will give him in the future.

And this requires a strong heart and must go through a lot of trials and tribulations.

If Wei Yuan showed too much favor to Wei Qiji, Wei Qiji might become a dissolute playboy.

Therefore, Wei Yuan would not show too much doting on his child in front of him. Isn't this also a kind of family love that hopes his child will become successful?

Parents are yin and yang, and the process of how to coordinate them is the same as how to teach a child well.

April 15th, the first year of Kaiwu.

Wei Yuan was feeling bored at home, so he just took Sister Jing to the street for a walk.

Today, the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion is Uncle Zhang, who was transferred from the Duke of England's Mansion by Zhang Guifen.

He dissuaded Wei Yuan, "Master, the war has just ended, and the countries are still ready to make a move. You are of noble status. If you are targeted by criminals..."

The latter laughed and said, "Uncle Zhang, do you think there is anyone in this world who can hurt me?"

Uncle Zhang was stunned for a moment, glanced at Sister Jing in Wei Yuan's arms, and said, "The little girl..."

Wei Yuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay. There will be soldiers from the Danglu Army following me within thirty feet. There's no need to worry."

After saying that, he took Sister Jing to go shopping.

Later, Zhang Guifen learned that Wei Yuan had gone to Yunqi Bridge.

There is a temple on the other side of the bridge called Fayun Temple.

About a hundred feet away from Fayun Temple, there is a large house with three entrances and three exits, which now belongs to the Wei family.

And Xie Yuying was arranged there by Zhang Guifen.

After returning to Beijing for a few days, Wei Yuan always wanted to see the woman who gave birth to a son for him.

Baozhu was angry and said, "The Marquis went to see that woman without telling you."

Zhang Guifen glared at him. "What do you mean by that girl? Miss Xie, you will marry into our Wei family sooner or later."

Baozhu sighed and said nothing more.

Zhang Guifen has expressed her meaning very clearly.

Xie Yuying is going to marry into the Wei family, and in the future, she will be the master of the Wei family.

And Baozhu was just a slave.

Using a slave to discuss the lord was a serious and unforgivable crime in a vassal family like Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan let Jing Jie ride on his neck, just like a farmer taking care of a child, without any sign of pretense.

When the people around saw this, they all nodded to him.
"Greetings, Lord Wei."

"Hello, Lord Marquis."

"."

As more and more people realized that it was Wei Yuan walking on the street, the number of onlookers naturally increased.

But no one took the initiative to disturb them.

After all, Wei Yuan is a marquis!
Who would be stupid enough to disturb someone while they are taking care of their kids?
Just watch from a distance.

There were a few people who wanted to step forward, but as soon as they approached Wei Yuan, they were pulled away by people from the mysterious force.

Wei Yuan was very cordial in greeting the villagers.

"Zhao San, why are your cakes sweeter than before? Too sweet is not good, otherwise the Marquis' Mansion will not want your cakes next time."

"Po Wang, my wife loves your food the most."

"Hello."

"."

For ordinary people, being able to meet Wei Yuan was considered a privilege.

Some people, upon hearing Wei Yuan's response, were wondering if their ancestors were blessed with good fortune.

The dignified Wei Taifu actually knew my last name and knew that he delivered food and cakes to the Marquis's mansion every day.
When they thought of this, they felt a warm feeling in their hearts.

Even a little flattered.

The Guanjun Marquis Mansion is located on the most prosperous street in the entire Bianjing.

This street is adjacent to the Imperial Street and is connected to the Dianqiansi. If you want to go to the Fayun Temple, you may not be able to get there even if you walk for a whole day.

Wei Yuan didn't feel tired. He held Sister Jing in his arms and looked at the hustle and bustle on both sides of the street. He felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

If he had not expelled the Liao people, Bianliang would not have been as prosperous as it is today.

By the afternoon, Wei Yuan ate a little and then personally fed Sister Jing some liquid food.

Later, we will move forward again.

Sister Jing refused to let Wei Yuan carry her on her back.

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Daddy is not tired."

He thought that his daughter felt sorry for her father.

Unexpectedly, Sister Jing suddenly said, "Daddy, your shoulders are stiff and not comfortable at all. I want to ride in a carriage!"

Wei Yuan frowned and said, "You are so young, why do you only want to ride in a carriage? Who taught you to be so greedy for enjoyment?"

Sister Jing suddenly pouted and said aggrievedly: "Daddy is mean to me."

Wei Yuan had no choice but to hold her in his arms and coax her again.

She said as if enduring grievance: "Daddy's shoulders are stiff, and it's uncomfortable to sit on them."

Wei Yuan had no choice but to ask the nearby Danglu Army soldiers to get a carriage.

Now about half an hour has been wasted.

Wei Yuan and Sister Jing took a carriage to Fayun Temple.

When the abbot of the temple heard that the imperial tutor had arrived, he immediately led a group of monks in the temple to stand in front of the mountain gate to welcome him.

Unexpectedly, Wei Yuan just glanced at them quickly and left.

The monks in Fayun Temple were confused and thought that something was wrong, which made Wei Yuan angry.

As a result, hundreds of people in Fayun Temple did not sleep well for half a month.

Especially the host, he asked a lot of people for help, but in the end no one found out anything.

This matter had to be left unresolved.

After Wei Yuan bypassed Fayun Temple, he went to where Xie Yuying lived.

The house is called "Bamboo Garden". It is said that Yan Shu once lived here for a few days and left many poems, which shows that the scenery is pleasant.

If the Wei family had no power, it would be difficult for them to buy this house from the Yan family.

Wei Yuan brought Sister Jing to the bamboo garden.

However, there were few people here, only a few old maids and maids were cleaning the courtyard and busy with their own affairs.

Suddenly, Wei Yuan came here with a child in his arms. An old maid immediately shouted:

"Stop! Are you another pilgrim coming to the temple to burn incense? This is a private residence, no one is allowed to enter!"

Wei Yuan quickly said, "I'm here to look for Madam Xie."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the old lady in front of her became even angrier.
"You playboy, where did you hear that there is a beautiful lady living here?" "You have a child with you, go back to where you came from, that lady is not someone you can covet."

Sister Jing held Wei Yuan's finger and whispered, "Daddy, this old lady is so fierce."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a man squinting at Wei Yuan and his daughter, and subconsciously walked towards them.

"Is it Sister Jing?"

Sister Jing looked at the man and said, "I think I saw you at home."

When the man saw Sister Jing holding the finger of a middle-aged man, he immediately realized something and exclaimed:
"You are the Marquis, aren't you?"

Mr. Hou?

In an instant, the servants in the entire mansion seemed to be in an uproar, and they quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Wei Yuan and his daughter.

This noise naturally disturbed Xie Yuying who was resting.

She personally carried the child out of the house to see.

When she saw Wei Yuan, she was stunned at first, and then tears began to flow from the corners of her eyes.

Wei Yuan took Jing Jie'er's hand and walked towards her step by step. "Why are you crying? If you keep crying, it won't look good."

Xie Yuying quickly wiped the tears from her eyes with one hand, and then she was about to kneel down to Wei Yuan, "Your servant greets you."

Wei Yuanlian helped her up and said, "Let's skip the formalities. You're holding a child."

Xie Yuying cried with joy and nodded.

Wei Yuan looked at Jing Shu and said with a smile, "Call me auntie."

Xie Yuying hurriedly said, "My Lord, you can't do that."

"Jingjie is a noble, how can you call me aunt? I can't bear it."

Little Jingshu couldn't understand what the other party was saying, so she said lightly:

"Aunt? Daddy asked me to call you that, so I'll call you Aunt? Why can't I accept that?"

Wei Yuan smiled.

Xie Yuying looked at Jingshu with gratitude.

Wei Yuan went to the boudoir where Xie Yuying lived.

It is very simple, without any fancy furniture decoration.

Wei Yuan took a look at the surroundings and said, "It's hard for you."

Xie Yuying realized something and smiled, "This is what I arranged myself. I have never lived in such a big house when I was in Jiangnan. Madam gave me a lot of things, and I think it is better to keep it simple."

Wei Yuan saw there was another Buddha statue in the inner room.

Xie Yuying explained: "This is a Buddha statue that I invited from the temple. My Lord, you are on the march, and I hope I can pray for you."

Wei Yuan sat on a chair and reached out to take the child from Xie Yuying's arms.

At first, the child was suddenly held by a stranger and was about to burst into tears.

But I saw a particularly beautiful pair of eyes appear in front of me, and a particularly pleasant voice accompanied my ears.

"Daddy, who is he? Why do I feel so close to him?"

Wei Yuan said: "Silly child, this is your brother."

younger brother?

"Am I not just a brother?"

Jingshu asked in a baby voice.

Wei Yuan smiled but said nothing.

He did not stay here for long. Before leaving, he wrote three words to Xie Yuying - Wei Zhixing.

That is the three-character name Wei Yuan.

That night.

While coaxing her child to sleep, Xie Yuying whispered:
"Child, from now on, you also have a name. Your name is Wei Zhixing."

The eldest sister is Wei Jingshu, the second sister is Wei Qiji, and the third sister is Wei Zhixing.

These are the next generation of Wei Yuan’s Wei family, and they are also the Wei family members who will push the Wei family to another level.
-
April 20th, the first year of Kaiwu.

Zhang Guifen visited the Qin residence and formally arranged a marriage with the Qin family.

The marriage of Chen Yuanzhi and Qin Jianjia, a girl from the Qin family, was scheduled for mid-October of the first year of Kaiwu.

The three letters and six engagement papers will be sent to the Qin family in the next few days.

The old men in Daizhou saw that Chen Daniu got the beauty because of his eldest sister-in-law.

As a result, many people came to Zhang Guifen for help and she also arranged marriages for them.

Moreover, he also pointed out that he would not marry anyone else but the daughter of a founding military hero.

But, how could there be so many daughters of military honor who were of marriageable age like the girl from the Qin family?
Zhang Guifen complained to Wei Yuan about this matter.

"I can't find anyone suitable for them. I don't know what happened to them. Why did they suddenly change their personality? Why do they want to marry the daughter of a founding military hero?"

Wei Yuan said: "I told them before that the new and old nobles should not have conflicts anymore."

In the eyes of the upstarts in Daizhou, his words were even more unquestionable than an imperial edict.

April 25th.

Zhang Guifen rented a bamboo forest outside the city and after a few modifications, turned it into a great place to enjoy the scenery.

She was going to hold a conference here and invite talented men of letters and martial arts from the capital to attend.

To put it bluntly, it is to hold a husband-selecting competition for Minglan.

At this moment, Minglan came to the Marquis' Mansion for this matter.

Jingshu and Zhuangge'er liked Minglan very much. Whenever she came, the two children would always pester her for a hug.
"Sister, you haven't come to see me for a long time."

"I want to be hugged by my sister, too. She smells so good."

"."

Minglan was holding Jingjie in her arms, while Zhuangge was grabbing Minglan's sleeve.

The servants and maids in the Marquis' Mansion all couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.

Minglan asked, "Where is your mother?"

Sister Jing didn't know how to lie, so she told the truth: "Mother asked my brother and I to stay with you. Mother also asked me to say that she had a cold and couldn't see you."

Minglan simply carried Jingjie directly to Zhang Guifen's room.

But he saw that the other party was flirting with his uncle sitting on the balcony.

Minglan said angrily, "Why hold this civil and military conference? You didn't even tell me about it."

Zhang Guifen said with a smile: "Ming girl is coming, why didn't you inform us in advance?"

Minglan asked, "What if I don't like what I do when I go there that day?"

Zhang Guifen pursed her lips and said, "All the young talents in Bianjing are going. You can take your time to choose. Silly girl, if you don't hurry up, it will be too late."

Minglan pouted and glanced at Wei Yuan, saying helplessly, "Then we shouldn't hold a meeting. If it gets out, people will think I'm some kind of royal relative."

Wei Yuan laughed and said, "Ming girl, in your uncle's eyes, you are much more precious than any royal relatives."

These words are not false.

The current emperor has no brothers or sisters.

In fact, in terms of status, those relatives and friends who are more distant from him may not be higher than the current Minglan.

"Girl, relax. It won't make you feel embarrassed. If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, don't go."

Just finished speaking.

An angel from the court was brought to the door by the servants of the mansion.
"My Lord, an angel has arrived."

Wei Yuan asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

The angel bowed respectfully and said, "General Wei, Li Liangzuo of Western Xia and Yelu Xin of Liao have arrived first. They are here to discuss post-war matters with our Great Zhou and to sign an alliance with our Great Zhou."

Wei Yuan knew about the two countries sending envoys early on.

He was only responsible for fighting the war and didn't think about asking about the affairs of the envoys.

Now that Zhao Xi has sent someone over, he must have encountered some difficulties?
