1778 Pampering
Wang Yi is three years older than Wang Gang, and is twenty-five years older this year. It is logical that he is in his prime, but Wang Gang discovered that he has not seen his elder brother for three years, and he is actually a teenager. In his twenties, he looks like a person in his thirties and forties.
Wang Kang married into the Wang family at the age of 16 and gave birth to his eldest son Wang Yi a year later. Perhaps because he was too young, Wang Yi was weak and sickly after birth. Many doctors said that he could not survive thirty.
Because of his weakness, Wang Yi has been a martial artist since he was a child. Fortunately, the Wang family has money, so it doesn’t matter if he supports him.
Later, after Wang Gang was born, he was not only healthy, but also both civil and military. He was loved by his father Wang Du, and he decided to be his heir early on.
But because of this, Wang Yi was even more neglected. At the age of 18, he arranged for him to marry the daughter of a merchant, Han, at home.
After Han entered the family, the couple was considered a confrontation in the early days, but in the following years, Han had nothing to do, and the relationship between the couple began to have problems.
Wang Kang later spent a lot of money to ask the imperial doctor to take Han's pulse, but the imperial doctor said that Han was in good health and was very healthy. On the contrary, Wang Yi had too poor bones and was congenital inadequate, making it difficult to have children.
This incident hit Wang Yi very much, and since then he alienated Han, was unrestrained and nostalgic for the place of love and love.
Wang Yi's body is already poor, and it will be even worse after such trouble. He gets sick every few days, which shows that he is overly indulging in lust. Han has advised him many times, but the relationship between the couple is completely wiped out.
Wang Kang thought that his eldest son would not live for a few years anyway, so he just let him go.
Wang Gang is proficient in medicine. Just by looking at his elder brother's face, he knows that he has a good life in less than two years. If he is not restrained, he may be worried about his life.
But Wang Gang is not easy to say something as a younger brother. In fact, his predecessor Wang Gang and his elder brother did not have a good relationship, and the problem lies with Wang Yi.
Maybe he felt that his younger brother stole his parents' favor, but Wang Yi didn't like Wang Gang since he was a child. Later, Wang Gang became a Jinshi, but Wang Yi became a waste, and the relationship between the two brothers was even worse.
Although Wang Kang saw it, he was anxious and worried, but he had no good way to ease his brotherhood. In addition, Wang Yi was destined to live a short life, so he no longer cared about him.
But he didn't know that this had increased Wang Yi's resentment, and later he even gave up and stayed in brothels all day long.
Wang Kang felt uncomfortable when he saw his eldest son, but he still asked him to stay with Han to have a meal.
The family was sitting at a dining table. Wang Kang frequently picked up food for Wang Gang and asked about his well-being, but he ignored his eldest son and his wife. The difference was too obvious, which made Wang Yi angry.
Han looked at her husband carefully, and then said to Wang Gang: "Uncle, I arranged for the maid to clean your yard in the morning. You can move in directly today."
Wang Gang put down his chopsticks and said formally: "I'm working hard on my sister-in-law."
Han said, "I have chosen a few young and capable maids to serve. If my uncle doesn't like it, he can change it."
"Uh?" Wang Gang said in surprise: "So where are the people who serve me?"
Han glanced at her husband Wang Yi and said carefully: "It turns out that the two maids are old and have been released from their homes to get married."
When Wang Gang saw Han's eyes secretly glance at Wang Yi, he felt that this matter was not that simple.
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law." Wang Gang decided to turn around and ask his mother again.
Han breathed a sigh of relief, and Wang Kang continued, "Gang'er, you are twenty-two years old this year!"
Wang Gang nodded and said, "Mother, you want to mention my marriage!"
Wang Kangshi said: "You have been engaged to the girl from the Chai family since you were a child. You should have gotten married three years ago, because the girl from the Chai family wanted to be filial, which was delayed.
The three-year mourning period has passed, and you have transferred back to Bianjing, so it is time to handle the marriage."
Wang Gang didn't say anything when he heard this, but Wang Yi paused and then started coughing violently.
"Ahem."
Han quickly brought a glass of water and carefully fed Wang Yi to drink it.
Wang Kang's face looked a little ugly and said, "Yi'er, if you have not yet recovered, go back and rest first."
Wang Yi coughed and said, "Mother, I'm much better."
Wang Kang frowned and turned to Han and said, "Let the servants cook some sugar water that clears heat and moistens the lungs. The eldest brother likes to eat sweets since he was a child."
Han said respectfully: "The kitchen has prepared sugar water and you can eat it after you have finished eating."
Wang Kangshi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, you have to take good care of the boss and don't let him go to that kind of place again, it will be of no benefit to the body."
Han's face turned pale and hesitated, not daring to reply.
Wang Kang sighed deeply. She was extremely disappointed with her eldest son and thought of her younger son in her heart.
"Tomorrow I will ask Doctor Hua to see Yi'er again. He said that Yi'er would have no children, so he didn't say that there must be no one."
Han's face became even paler, and Wang Yi's face looked very bad.
Wusi has always been a pain for the couple, but Wang Kang tear opens the scar in front of Wang Gang, and Wang Yi feels very embarrassed.
Even Wang Gang felt that what his mother said was inappropriate, but after all, he was an elder, so Wang Gang couldn't speak up and reminded him.
After a meal was finished in silence, Wang Kang kept Wang Gang and sent Wang Yi and Han away.
"Gang'er, you know your elder brother's body, I want to discuss something with you!" Wang Kang said to Wang Gang alone:
"If you have many children in the future, can you adopt a concubine's son to your elder brother?"
"Ah!" Wang Gang said in surprise.
Wang Kang's sentence contains three meanings, one is to let Wang Gang get married and have children as soon as possible.
Second, marrying a wife is not enough, so it is best to take more concubines and open up children.
The third is to adopt the concubine's son to Wang Yi, so that he would not be able to lose his descendant.
Wang Kang sighed and said, "Doctor Hua showed it to your elder brother a few years ago and said that he was in a very bad situation, and it only took two years to do so.
Han is young. Once your elder brother leaves, if you don’t have children, you will definitely not be able to stand it.”
Wang Gang said carefully: "If this is true, it is better to let my sister-in-law leave."
The Northern Song Dynasty was not as harsh as it was later, and it was not uncommon for a woman to lose her husband and remarry.
Even normal separation between husband and wife is common.
Han is two years younger than Wang Yi, and it is too cruel to live a life of widows.
But Wang Kangshi said, "Your sister-in-law was born in a small family. It is her luck and her fate to marry into the Wang family!"
Wang Gang felt cold in his heart. He understood what his mother meant and observed a few seconds of silence for his sister-in-law Han.
"When will you go to Kaifeng Mansion to pay the deposit?" Wang Kang asked.
"Go the day after tomorrow." Wang Gang replied.
"That's right. I'll go to the Chai family tomorrow and decide on the marriage first." Wang Kangshi said it.
Wang Gang said: "I'd better go to Chai's house tomorrow!"
Wang Kang asked, "Don't you want to marry the Chai family's daughter?"
Wang Gang replied: "I have an old relationship with Chai'an. I will visit my friends tomorrow and just ask about the attitude of the Chai family."
Wang Kang said, "That's fine. You're tired all the way, so you should be tired. Go back to the yard to rest first. If the maid arranged by your sister-in-law is uncomfortable, transfer two from our yard first."
Wang Gang refused and said, "No, I am used to being outside, but I am not used to serving many people."
