Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 323 Wei Zifu (ask for monthly ticket!)

On a sunny day,

Wei Qing packed his bag,
Leading the fat yellow dog that was timid, lazy and playful, he walked out of the house and set out on the road to Chang'an.

Wei was a little worried about him.

Because Wei Qing was only fourteen years old at most.

He is still a teenager.

"Life is better now, and you haven't suffered any setbacks in the Zheng family. Why are you so anxious?"

But Wei Qing was a man with strong opinions.

He consoled his mother, "I promised my sister a long time ago that I would visit her when I had the chance."

"Now that I'm strong and well prepared, why not?"

"And if you sew new clothes this year, you should send them over this year, instead of delaying it for too long and letting the new ones become old ones."

Folk songs often mention, "Clothes are never as good as new, and people are never as good as old."

Now that we have new clothes at home, how can we let them stay quietly in the suitcase, becoming no longer bright and gradually becoming old?
Then, he overcame all difficulties and obstacles and successfully arrived in Chang'an.

He consulted the residents of Chang'an City in detail, and then came to the Mansion of Marquis Pingyang. He passed on the news that he was looking for his relatives through a small door located in a remote corner that was specially set up for the passage of slaves.

When Wei Zifu heard about this, she was very surprised.

She didn't expect that
Her brother from the same mother would travel thousands of miles to come here at this age.

"I guess he has suffered enough in the Zheng family, so he has no choice but to come to Chang'an to find me!"

She thought secretly in her heart, but when she looked at her current situation, she couldn't help but sigh.

Wei Zifu had been working as a singer at the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion for two years.

But she did not receive the appreciation of the owner of this mansion——

Pingyang Marquis Cao Shi was not in good health.
After marrying Princess Yangxin and taking several beautiful concubines, he no longer had the energy to do this.

Therefore,
She could only quietly save some wealth through daily rewards and wages.

This money is not much.
Even Wei Zifu couldn't rent a small room in Chang'an for her brother to stay.

Moreover, her elder sister Wei Shaoer, who was pregnant due to an affair with a man outside her family, has not been looking well recently. This is probably because she was working while pregnant.

If Wei Shaoer also saved some money,

If the two sisters get together, they might be able to rent a house and let Wei Shaoer move out to take care of the pregnancy, and Wei Qing can also live with them to take care of his sister.

Unfortunately, Wei Shao'er was bewitched by a Pingyang county official named Huo Zhongru. Not only did she want him to have a child, but she also gave him all the money she had saved as travel expenses!

"Since he was a county official, how could he not have saved money?"

"How can you take a woman's body and then ask for her money?"

When Wei Zifu heard about this, she couldn't help but frowned and said to her sister.

Wei Shaoer held his face with a satisfied look on his face, and replied without caring at all: "It's okay!"

"Huo Zhongru is good-looking!"

"I am happy to give to others and give him money!"

Wei Zifu was angry and said, "What's so good about men!"

Men's love is always illusory!

When you are in love, you can say anything, but when it is time to go separate ways, you never hesitate.

"Okay!"

"Don't worry so much, go see Wei Qing first!"

Wei Shaoer guessed his sister's thoughts from her slightly frowned brows. He just reached out and tapped her forehead, then pushed Wei Zifu and told her to go out quickly to meet her brother.

To know,
Wei Shaoer is now too pregnant and has no way of hiding her belly. How can she walk around openly?

then,

Wei Zifu went out.
At that small gate, I met Wei Qing.

When she saw her brother, she couldn't help but be surprised.

"How did you grow so tall and strong all of a sudden?"

This is completely different from what Wei Zifu had imagined before!
Wei Qing did not elaborate, only saying that he had received help from kind-hearted people.

then,

He began to care about the lives of his two sisters in Chang'an.

Wei Zifu just said that everything was fine.

"Where can it really be good?"

"Sister's frown didn't relax. I guess she's worried."

Wei Qing pointed this out very calmly.

Seeing that he had realized something, Wei Zifu could only tell him about Wei Shaoer.

After hearing this, Wei Qing also frowned.

He did not expect,
Why would my second sister act like this?

My mother had an affair with my father in Pingyang Marquis Mansion in Pingyang and became pregnant.

The second sister had an affair with a minor official who worked in the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion in Chang'an and became pregnant.

Isn’t this a special kind of inheritance?
“Can I go out and give birth?”

Wei Qing thought for a moment and said, "I still have some money here."

Mr. He left him a lot of travel expenses.
It includes the cost of renting a house during your stay in Chang'an.

That was a considerable sum of money, enough to last until Wei Shaoer recovered from childbirth.

Wei Zifu was very happy that Wei Qing mentioned this matter. She smiled and said, "Of course, this is possible!"

"Just report to the master before you can go out."

The Pingyang Marquis Mansion is a large place with many slaves, and it has been passed down for four generations.

Therefore, the marquis's mansion had a very complete system for managing slaves.

For example, when servants go out to do work or meet relatives who come to visit, there is a special small door.

If a maid becomes pregnant and needs to ensure safe delivery, there is also a set of corresponding procedures.

As for whether the other party had an affair and gave birth to a child?

joke!

In such an era,

Is adultery a rare and disgusting thing?
As long as you give birth to the child, you just need to raise it yourself!

As for the rest, no one else is too lazy to interfere!

"Then I'll go look for a house right away!"

Wei Qing said this, then took out the package he was carrying and handed it to Wei Zifu.

"correct!"

"This is a new dress that my mother made for me to bring here!"

Wei Zifu took it.

I opened a corner of the package and touched the fine stitches on the clothes, and I couldn't help but shed tears.

Left home,

Only children know the beauty of their hometown.

Only then did I miss my parents' arms.

Especially for someone like Wei Zifu, who left her hometown and came to Chang'an to serve as a servant for a noble,

Receiving a piece of clothing sewn by a loved one is enough to move people to tears.

But now that we are here,
Where is the opportunity for freedom?

She wiped her eyes.

Then she parted with her brother and went to ask the master for favor on her sister's behalf so that she could go outside to rest and have a healthy pregnancy.

Although there is a courtyard for servants to live in the Pingyang Marquis's mansion, it is not good for pregnant women to have so many people together.

Wei Zifu found Princess Yangxin.

This is the mistress of the mansion.

This kind of thing naturally requires her nod.

Princess Yangxin heard this and approved it casually.

In her opinion,

This matter is nothing special, there is really no need to worry about it.

otherwise,

Why did Wei Shaoer have to wait until this time without any punishment, and just worry about having to work with a bulging belly?

But Wei Zifu didn't expect that

Princess Yangxin became interested in Wei Qing.

She said, "Your brother was less than fourteen years old, and he was able to come to Chang'an from Pingyang all by himself. He is really amazing!"

"And he still misses you two sisters. He's obviously a sentimental man."

"Bring him here, I want to meet this kid!"

For this,

Wei Zifu could only obey.

The thoughts of noble people are always difficult to understand, but as long as it is not a bad thing, why worry?
quickly,

Wei Zifu found her brother again and brought him to Princess Yangxin.

The young and beautiful princess sat lazily on the soft seat, leaning against the table.

Her look was full of pride.

Her temperament is very noble.

She gently waved the fan in her hand and looked at the young man who was walking through the gate and towards her.

When Wei Qing came to her and greeted her with perfect etiquette,
Princess Yang Xin couldn't help but chuckle.

She gently covered her smiling mouth with the fan, her eyebrows and eyes were curved.

"You are such a strange boy."

"You are obviously of humble origin, so why do you know such etiquette?"

Wei Qing placed his hands on his knees, lowered his eyes, and did not look at her.

His tone of reply was still calm.

"I have teachers in my hometown to guide me, so I know about etiquette."

"Is that right?"

Princess Yangxin suddenly stood up, walked lightly, and came to Wei Qing.

She unexpectedly stretched out her hand and lifted Wei Qing's chin with the handle of the fan, exposing the handsome face of the young man, but still a little immature due to his age, completely in front of her.

Wei Qing was so panicked by Princess Yangxin's move.

He stared.

Mouth slightly open,

The hands on his knees couldn't help but clench the corners of his clothes.

Princess Yangxin saw that she had successfully amused him.
He put the fan back in his hand and smiled triumphantly.
