The ancestral home of the Wei family.
In the dark night, Wei Cheng, covered with cold dew, strode into the door. As soon as he entered, a servant came to report the news.
Wei An drank a lot tonight. His wife is accompanying him in the east courtyard, and the eldest son is also there.
"Yes." He carelessly smoothed his sleeves and said casually, "Did you enjoy your time tonight, father?"
The servant bent even lower: "Those famous prostitutes are all experts who are well versed in this. The master did not say that he was dissatisfied. The slave had already prepared the best gold sore medicine and silver money and gave them to them before leaving. .”
During the day, Wei An acted like a gentleman and a man of great integrity in front of others. In fact, only a few people knew that he had a different appearance in the room. He liked to play cruelly and tortured others.
Some of the women in the backyard were frightened by his play, and their legs weakened when they saw him. Over time, they became frightened and frightened. It was a miracle that they were able to conceive, and they did not become extinct. At least, Wei Cheng and his two concubine brothers were left behind.
In the past few years, Wei An has become increasingly unsatisfied. He often searches for wild women from outside. He doesn't want to involve his reputation, and he doesn't dare to let his son know about it, so he has to send her to the mansion in the name of his nephew Wei Zheng. , most of Wei Zheng's romantic and charming reputation is due to him.
This is the first time Wei Cheng has given his own father a woman.
Thinking of Li Ruxin running to Shen's house today, Wei Cheng frowned and was about to go back to his yard, but suddenly changed his mind and strode towards the east courtyard.
The lights in the east courtyard were brightly lit. Li Ruxin cooked a hangover soup and went to the kitchen to steam a few snacks to help Wei An suppress the wine in his stomach.
When Wei Cheng pushed open the door and walked in, Li Ruxin was raising his hand to caress Wei An's back, moving from top to bottom to help him calm down.
Wei An's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and there were not many traces of time left on his fair face. He had been pampered for decades. When he was young, he was worried about his father when he was fighting. Wei Cheng's grandfather, who had been dead for almost ten years, was now half He only had one foot in the coffin, and his son and nephew were supporting him.
The son led Youzhou's soldiers to secure the interior and exterior, while the nephew was in charge of the civil affairs of Youzhou, throwing away all the trivial matters. He just had to show off and be as leisurely as a god.
He hummed, and Li Ruxin quickly stretched out her hand to touch his forehead: "What's wrong with you, Master?"
He hated Wei Cheng even more in his heart.
Originally, she didn't like those Yingying Yanyans, but she knew a little about Wei An's quirks. She had had a lot of headaches over this, so she had to endure to try to win over him. Sometimes she couldn't help it, so she replaced him, and at least she was able to do it. To keep a man, now Wei Cheng sent away five or six women who were proficient in this in one go. Wei An was so entangled in him that one night, she, a serious lady, could only stand at the door and listen to the lewd words inside. .
Wei An slapped her hand away, "What's the fuss about?"
Li Ruxin was not annoyed. She took back her hand and smiled kindly at Wei Cheng who pushed in the door: "Zhongyang, are you back? Did everything go well tonight?"
She stood up and walked over to Wei Cheng enthusiastically. She looked like a loving mother and helped the silent Wei Cheng tidy up his clothes. Then she bent down and touched his boots, frowning: "Why are they so thin? The cold air comes in from the feet." , it’s not good if you’re frozen, tomorrow I’ll make you a pair of deerskin boots, so you can get them out even if you sleep late these days, so as not to freeze again.”
He was wearing a pair of black soap boots today. In such a snowy weather, others are accustomed to wearing fur-lined clothes, but he is very yang-y, and wearing more than one piece will make him sweat.
With a smile on his lips, he silently watched her acting like a loving mother in front of her father. The smile was cold. The more he looked at it, the more uncertain Li Ruxin felt. Finally, she retracted her hand and pretended to be busy and returned to Wei An. She ordered a cup of hot tea and handed it to him: "Zhongyang, drink a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."
Wei Cheng took it but didn't drink it.
Wei An had overindulged and had a headache. Seeing Wei An's sinister smile, he felt irritated and frowned: "Your mother cares about you. Why are you not grateful at all? You have read the books of sages into the dog's belly?"
Wei Cheng still didn't drink the cup of tea, and put it aside slowly. He was tall, especially when he was standing next to Li Ruxin, with his head nearly two inches lower. He smiled, without any warmth in his eyes, but his voice was gentle, Looking down from above, that slight smile was like the ice of the twelfth lunar month, nodding to Li Ruxin: "Thank you, mother."
Li Ruxin smiled more and more kindly and waved her hand: "Why should my family be like this? How can a mother care about this with her children?"
She turned to look at Wei An and said softly: "Husband, don't always scold your son. I feel that since Zhong Yang has a sweetheart, he has become much more stable and practical. He has reached the age of marriage and can take on the responsibility of a family." It’s the Lord’s burden.”
It turned out to be waiting for him here.
His smile faded little by little.
It was okay to run against him openly or covertly, but he didn't like to involve Shen Yinxiao.
Sure enough, Wei An raised his head from his drowsiness and stared at his handsome and burly son who had already disappeared in front of him, with an impatient look on his face: "You haven't broken up with the woman outside yet?"
Li Ruxin covered her mouth in panic, "I said the wrong thing."
"That's enough." Wei An saw her little thoughts. In the past, he often turned a blind eye, but on some things, he knew very well what was going on. He was in the officialdom of Youzhou. After decades of wallowing, I won’t be fooled by the person next to me when I get old.
He looked at Li Ruxin: "Have you seen that woman?"
Li Ruxin glanced at Wei Cheng, who had an unclear expression, and moved towards Wei An: "I am thinking about which girl Zhong Yang likes. As a mother, I also want to help him check and see how... ..."
"absurd--"
A handful of sapphire tea cups were thrown to the ground and fell into pieces. A piece of broken jade splashed out, just across Wei Cheng's cheek. He raised his hand and lightly touched his chin with his fingertips, and a bright red plum blossom bloomed on his fingertips.
"Zhong Yang!" Li Ruxin called out softly and stepped forward to wipe him with a handkerchief, but Wei Cheng turned his head to avoid it.
"The Wang family is willing to sacrifice their bodies to show their goodwill to us. This is a great opportunity. Since you are going to Chang'an in the future, you must have a strong Yue family to support you. You will not be unaware of the pros and cons."
Wei An said coldly.
"I know." Wei Cheng wiped away the bright red blood with his index finger and thumb, "But it's not necessary."
"I don't need to sell myself to change my future. My father is really reluctant to let her go, so why not marry her myself." He smiled coldly.
Wei An's face turned pale and green.
Li Ruxin's expression turned pale.
Wei Zheng, who had been standing in the shadow of the lamp, couldn't help but let out a muffled laugh, but quickly suppressed it, and straightened the corners of his raised mouth.
Wei An's first wife, Wei Cheng's biological mother, was the eldest daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe. Although the Wei family back then was considered a wealthy family, it was not as wealthy as it is now. Wei An felt lucky to be able to reach the level of the Cui family.
Ms. Cui is beautiful, gentle and virtuous. She is the daughter of a wealthy family with serious education. Every word and deed carries the style of the family. She is not comparable to someone from a small family like Li Ruxin. But when Wei Cheng was three years old, Ms. Cui fell in love with her because of A cold wind kills everyone.
Less than three months after Cui passed away, a small sedan secretly carried Li Ruxin through the door, and she was straightened up the next year.
Mentioning Mrs. Cui, Wei An also felt guilty, more so because he missed the deceased. When Wei Cheng opened the door and left, Wei An sighed.
"It's all debt..."
He held his forehead up, his temples tense and aching.
Li Ruxin also stood up and said thoughtfully: "Master, I'll go and get you a bowl of sobering soup."
Only Wei Zheng and Wei An were left in the room.
Wei An's face calmed down and he looked at Wei Zheng who had been silent.
