Chapter 94: Coincidentally Meeting Medicine King Wei Shanjun
After confirming that it was the King of Chu, Wei Siyan's wife's face flashed with joy, and she asked: "Has His Highness the King of Chu come to invite your eldest brother to be an official?"
Hearing this, the three brothers looked at each other, quite embarrassed.
When the Shence Mansion was established, Li Zhiyun asked them to recommend talents, and Wei Siqi reported the names of his eldest brother and third brother in one breath. Unexpectedly, the King of Chu would personally assess the talents recommended by each person.
Then, the third brother passed, but the eldest brother failed.
Now that the sister-in-law said this, the three brothers felt a little ashamed for a moment.
Wei Siqi explained: "That's not the case. His Royal Highness the King of Chu was passing by here."
Hearing this, Wei Siyan's wife's face became stiff and she asked, "Are those two uncles here today?"
"We came with His Highness," Wei Siren replied.
"Aren't you giving food and clothing to your sisters?"
"Uh... No." Wei Siqi replied.
"Oh." The smile on Wei Siyan's wife's face disappeared and she walked into the kitchen, leaving the three brothers looking at each other in confusion.
At this moment, the sound of cursing and banging of pots came from the kitchen.
"My life is miserable if I only eat and do nothing all day long. Why do I follow such a useless thing? I have to serve the young and also the old. If the old fails to live up to my expectations, it will bring disaster to three generations..."
When the three brothers heard this, they shook their heads and smiled bitterly at each other.
Wei Siren joked: "Isn't my sister-in-law imitating Genjiehou's mother?"
In the past, when Liu Bang was still a gangster in Peixian County, he liked to invite his brothers to go to his brother-in-law's house to eat and drink. Once or twice was enough. When he came more often, his sister-in-law didn't like it, so she scraped the bottom of the pot vigorously.
Bang the pot and tell Liu Bang that there is no food.
Later, when Liu Bang became the emperor, he made all his brothers and nephews princes, except for his sister-in-law's son. In the end, Liu Taigong came forward, and Liu Bang pinched his nose and granted his nephew the title of Genjie Hou.
The three brothers laughed heartlessly.
Naturally, most of the anger in Wei Siyan's wife's heart was not because Wei Siqi and Wei Siren came over to have a meal, but because of Wei Siyan's younger sisters.
In the east wing, the three daughters were talking.
The eldest sister is Wei Puti, the former false Crown Princess of Zheng, and the other two girls are her two younger sisters, Wei Dante and Wei Nizi.
Wei Dante was the youngest and ignorant, and said straightforwardly: "Sister, why does my sister-in-law criticize our sisters so harshly? When Ye Ye was alive, she was not so fussy."
She is not deaf, so she could clearly hear the curses that came from the yard earlier.
Wei Boti was weaving cloth. When he heard what his sister said, he explained: "You also said that it happened when I was still alive. It is not easy for my sister-in-law now. My eldest brother has not yet become an official and can only live on a few acres of thin farmland. The same goes for my son.
When you grow taller, it’s no wonder that your livelihood is not good.”
Thinking about the past, Wei Boti also felt a little sad. She thought about how she had never received such harsh words when she was the crown princess.
A trace of anger appeared on Wei Nizi's pink face, and he said: "When my eldest sister came back, the two grandfathers said they would take good care of us, but now they have disappeared. If it weren't for the help of several brothers, we still don't know where we would make a living.
.”
Those two grandfathers are Wei Ji and Wei Jin.
Speaking of this, Wei Puti also had some warmth and anger on his face. It was Wei Ji who made the decision to marry her to Wang Xuanying. Later, the State of Zheng was wiped out by the Tang Dynasty and Wang Xuanying died. She was rescued by Li Zhiyun and returned to her hometown. I originally thought that Wei Ji would be better off.
I would take more care of these orphan girls out of guilt, but I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t!
She finally figured it out. She was sold to Wang Xuanying by Wei Ji back then.
"Nizi, it's better to rely on yourself than to seek help from others. Stop talking about this." Wei Boti changed the subject with a smile, "When you marry a good family in the future, my sister will feel relieved."
"I don't want to get married." Weidante said aggrievedly: "Brothers don't care about our sisters, so how can any good family want us? Besides, if we leave, what will you do, eldest sister? The younger sister has to accompany us.
With you."
"Nonsense." Wei Puti said, "Why didn't Siqi and Siren take care of you? Look at the clothes you are wearing. Didn't they buy them for you?"
"No, it was obviously given by Sister Gui." Wei Nizi murmured in a low voice, "Sister, you don't know, one time I went to Chang'an to look for my second brother, and my second sister-in-law was very annoyed. If it weren't for Sister Gui coming back to visit me that day,
,I also......"
As she said this, her two big eyes turned red, feeling aggrieved as much as she wanted.
Wei Dante said enviously: "Sister Gui married the King of Chu. Now she should have no worries about food and clothing."
Speaking of this, Wei Boti remained silent and just weaved the cloth silently. Although they and Wei Gui were sisters, they were still separated by one layer.
Inadvertently, through the window, she saw several men standing in the courtyard.
She knew the leader, the King of Chu, whom she had met once in the past.
"Why is he here?"
Um?
Wei Nizi looked at her eldest sister in confusion, "Who is here?"
The three sisters gathered together and saw Li Zhiyun standing not far away washing his hands.
It was Li Zhiyun's habit to wash his hands after going to the toilet. However, Wei Siyan's family was not well off, so naturally no one would prepare fresh water for him, so he could only wash it with vegetable washing water in the courtyard.
"Your Highness, someone is coming." Li Zhen reminded from the side.
Li Zhiyun shook off the water stains on his hands and looked to the side, only to see the three sisters Wei Boti walking towards them carrying their skirts.
When he was looking for water just now, he accidentally listened to the three sisters complaining about life.
Wei Boti, he had seen her before. She was a beautiful woman. Even though she was not dressed in a flashy dress, she was still a young woman with outstanding temperament.
Of her two younger sisters, Wei Nizi is a little beauty who is about to bloom, and Vedanta is just a little girl.
Because of his wife Wei Gui, Li Zhiyun paid more attention to the Wei clan members in Wei Siqi's room, so he also knew the names of Wei Boti's three sisters.
The three of them stepped forward and bowed.
"See Your Highness."
Li Zhiyun reached out and held Wei Puti's jade hand, helping her up.
"We are all one family, my sister doesn't need to be polite."
The fingertips lightly traced across her palm, as if scratching into Wei Boti's heart. Her cheeks turned red. Wei Boti looked deeply at Li Zhiyun and retracted his hand.
"Why is Your Highness here?"
"I passed by here today and asked Siyan for a drink of water." Li Zhiyun said casually, then looked at Wei Nizi and said, "You must be Nizi."
"Yes." Wei Nizi opened her eyes wide and looked at the heroic Li Zhiyun curiously. This was the first time she had seen such a noble person.
Li Zhiyun said: "Niang Gui has mentioned it to me on weekdays, saying that you have a gentle personality and that you are a good girl."
Hearing this, Wei Nizi blushed and remained silent.
Wei Puti looked at his sister and then at Li Zhiyun, feeling a little aggrieved for no reason.
Li Zhiyun said a few words to them and suggested: "If you have time in the future, you can go to the palace more often. Guiniang misses you very much."
Wei Tan said: "But we have to weave, otherwise we will have nothing to eat."
Li Zhiyun was amused by this child.
Wei Puti glared at his sister and explained to Li Zhiyun: "My family is poor, so it makes His Highness laugh."
Li Zhiyun waved his hand and said: "You are all Guiniang sisters, and I am also a sister. It is me who did not take good care of you. Let's do this. If you are willing, you can go back to Chang'an with me, and I will help you in Chang'an.
Find a house to support you."
It’s just a few more women, it’s nothing.
Wei Nizi and Wei Dante seemed a little happy. With the King of Chu taking care of them, they did not have to worry about their livelihood like market women. Wei Boti felt a little weird in her heart. She always felt like a stay-at-home wife being taken care of by the King of Chu.
