the other side.
Mrs. Zhang was wandering around the uncle's mansion with Wei Shuyi.
The former said as he walked:
"This place used to be the Duke's Mansion. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Just counting the courtyard of the mansion, it is about a hundred acres."
"This does not include a small lake in the back mountain and the forest in front and back."
"Originally, Yuan'er planned to choose a room for you with more yard space."
"I have calculated that even if you, Minglan, Brother Mu or your second sister's family come over in the future, more than twenty rooms will be enough."
"So I thought about locating your yard near the small lake in the back mountain. The scenery is better. When you have nothing to do, you can gather by the lake to enjoy the scenery and snow. It would be great. .”
When Wei Shuyi heard this, how could he not feel that Mrs. Zhang had carefully chosen the yard for herself and Ruyi?
"Madam, you have been so kind to my Wei brothers and sisters. From now on, my three brothers and I really don't know how to repay this kindness."
She is indeed grateful to the Zhang family.
From the small matter of choosing a yard for her two sisters, it can be seen that Mrs. Zhang recognized them as relatives.
This is already quite rare in this world.
Besides, my younger brother asked Mrs. Zhang to send someone to take care of the yard.
Mrs. Zhang renovated almost the entire mansion.
Several houses are brand new.
Even the stone slabs underfoot exude a sense of luxury.
I don't know how much money it will cost.
But Mrs. Zhang didn't mention a word about these things.
"I'm sorry, you are also my junior. You don't need to call me madam, just call me aunt."
"Your Wei family, as well as our Zhang family, will be prosperous and devastated from now on. If you continue to say these disrespectful things, I, the aunt, will inevitably have to say something to you."
Mrs. Zhang’s words were also spoken from the bottom of her heart.
From now on, the leader of Xungui will be Wei Yuan.
Zhang Fuzheng gradually handed the baton to Wei Yuan.
As for who Wei Yuan will be handed over in the future, it is not something he can worry about.
But what can be expected is that if the overall situation remains unchanged or no proud man of heaven appears in each noble house.
In the next generation, or even several generations later, the baton of the great Zhou Xungui will be rotated between Zhang and Wei.
The title of this nobleman is not based on who has a higher title, but who can command the army.
While Mrs. Zhang and Wei Shuyi were talking, they had already arrived at the courtyard near the back mountain.
More than 20 houses are newly built according to the level of the main house.
Although it was a bit over the top, it was still Mrs. Zhang’s sincere wish.
After all, these days, which noble mansion doesn't go beyond the rules?
Not a big deal.
"The courtyard where you live in the Sheng family is called Mu Cangzhai. I always feel that it is a bit lifeless and not very nice."
"It's the beginning of spring now, and this courtyard was personally selected for you and your second sister."
"I put the word 'meaning' in your names. There is an attic in this yard where you can enjoy the snow, flowers and scenery."
"So, I named this courtyard Chunyi Pavilion. If you feel dissatisfied, you can change it according to your wishes."
Mrs. Zhang spoke slowly.
Wei Shuyi murmured, "Chunyi Pavilion?"
She named the courtyard of the Sheng family Mu Cangzhai.
It's because I have lost my temper a long time ago.
In this life, staying in the Sheng family seems to come to an end at a glance.
Either he was competing with Lin Sushuang for favor, or he had a bloody encounter with the eldest lady of the family for the power of housekeeping...
It's so boring.
Mu Cang, you can see the end at a glance, that's what it means.
But what happened recently had an impact on her from time to time.
For example, my younger brother became an earl, and my parents both had official status.
For example, the respect of the Zhang family...
These things gave Wei Shuyi hope for his future life.
Spring...
To welcome the Spring Festival, isn’t it to welcome the New Year?
"Chunyi Pavilion... sounds good."
"Auntie, you've taken the trouble."
Mrs. Zhang heard Wei Shuyi call herself aunt.
Suddenly he smiled and said:
"now it's right."
"I regard Yuan'er as my biological son, and I will treat you and your second sister as my daughter."
Hearing this, Wei Shuyi was deeply moved.
However, what surprised her was yet to come.
"I'm sorry, but if you don't mind, just accept me as your godmother, okay?"
Fuck... godmother...?
Wei Shu was shocked!
He quickly bowed and said: "Aunt, you can't help me, I... I'm just a concubine..."
However, the words were not finished yet.
Mrs. Zhang held her hand and said seriously:
"I'm sorry, from now on, I won't allow you to belittle yourself like this again."
"What's wrong with the concubine? With my Zhang family supporting you, you will always be your concubine no matter where you go. Even the eldest lady in your family must be polite when meeting you."
"You have a gentle temper. I have always dreamed of having a daughter like you."
Wei Shuyi was extremely moved and said with tears in her eyes: "My aunt loves me so much, but my niece can't repay her."
"It's just that I want to marry Sister Guifen...and you are the wife of the country. If you take a concubine as your goddaughter, my niece is worried that someone will gossip about you."
Mrs. Zhang said: "Actually, I have long wanted to adopt you as my godson, but the time is not right yet."
"When Yuan'er comes back, I'll tell your uncle to hold a big banquet and invite all the nobles in the capital to come."
"Anyone who dares to gossip will have trouble with my Zhang family."
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, no matter whether they were civil servants or military generals, whoever had trouble with the Zhang family had trouble with the imperial court.
Although Zhang Fu is a military commander, he is still a central minister and can directly participate in important national affairs.
Equal to Han Zhang.
The head of the military generals and the head of the civil servants, in a sense, share weal and woe.
Therefore, no matter how fierce the civil and military disputes are in peacetime, no matter what disputes Zhang Fu and Han Zhang have.
In the face of major right and wrong, and in the face of personal honor and disgrace, the two of them have always been consistent in dealing with the outside world.
Whoever disrupts the balance between civil and military affairs will be the biggest sinner of the court.
Neither Zhang Fu nor Han Zhang would allow this to happen.
Mrs. Zhang has said this.
Wei Shuyi no longer knows how to express his gratitude.
She knelt down to Mrs. Zhang and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry, thank you."
Mrs. Zhang helped her up and said earnestly:
"Good boy, if you call me aunt, I will protect you for the rest of your life."
"When your uncle returns home in triumph, we will host a banquet for all the dignitaries in the capital to rectify your name for my mother..."
"From now on, you will be the godson of my British prince, and no one can underestimate you."
Mrs. Zhang has another plan to take in her daughter.
Although Wei Yuan will make many contributions in the future.
But if you rashly ask for a royal title for your sister, you may be spurned by civil officials.
However, if Wei Shuyi is the godchild of Zhang Fu and his wife, then this possibility no longer exists.
From this moment on, the Wei family and the Zhang family were truly one with honor and disgrace, and could no longer be separated.
