Chapter 2:

When Wei Lan returned to Changxinhou's mansion after driving his horse, everyone had already been waiting at the door. As soon as he entered the door, a pink figure rushed over, a beautiful face crying with pear blossoms and rain, relying on her and said: "Hey, hey...Alan, you are finally back, Xiong'er is about to die..."
This is an extremely tall beauty with a slender skeleton and almost exactly the same face as Wei Lan, except that her brows are more beautiful and feminine, and she looks very pitiful. She was an inch taller than Wei Lan, but her temperament was too weak and pitiful. Being held by Wei Lan didn't even feel weird, as if she should have been so.
"Don't panic." Wei Lan smiled gently and patted the beauty in his arms, with a calm tone of voice: "Everything has me, let's go in first."
"Hey hey..." The beauty continued to cry, Wei Lan had a headache, and asked the nurse to pull the beauty away before walking into the yard.
When he came, the panicked group of people seemed to have found the backbone. Butler Wei Zhong came forward to report the reason. Wei Lan was not slow at his feet, but walked steadily and calmly. Listening to Wei Zhong's words, his expression remained unchanged. Head.
It turned out that his younger brother Wei Xiong had a fight with Xie Bing, the young son of the Xie family. The two bear children fell into the water together. Xie Bing knows that there is nothing to do with water. Wei Xiong, a dry duck. However, he was rescued after taking several sips of water. After he was rescued, he developed a high fever. The doctor said he was critically ill. He was originally Mrs. Wei's eyeballs. As soon as Mrs. Wei heard the doctor's words, she fainted on the spot with fright, and she hasn't recovered until now.
Changxin Hou's Mansion was originally mediocre, the mistress died young, and Hou Junyuan was at the border, and an old lady and three children were the principal. At this moment, the old lady fainted. Wei Lan was in the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing. There was a crying concubine Wei Hua in the house. She was messed up long ago. Fortunately, Wei Lan rushed back in time and Wei Zhong was relieved. .
Walking into the wing room, the maid on the ground was crying, Wei Xiong's wet nurse, Zhang, sat aside, and wiped Wei Xiong's body with a cold water veil. Wei Lan frowned at the sight of a woman crying, and when she walked to Wei Xiong's side, she asked Wei Zhong and said, "Can you ask the doctor?"
"Please." Wei Zhongdao: "I have invited the doctor from the Miaoyitang."
"Go and bring Doctor Zhang over." Wei Lan said directly: "Take the ink painting of the empty mountain layman from the warehouse and send it over."
"Yes." Wei Zhong nodded hurriedly, and instructed his servants to prepare the gift box, wondering how his ancestors knew the preferences of an imperial doctor.
"Also, did the Xie family send someone over?"
"Xie family?" Wei Zhong was stunned. Wei Lan frowned, as if trying to say something. However, after seeing Wei Zhong's face, his eyes were unpredictable for a moment, and he sighed quietly: "Fine, you Now prepare a gift, bring it back and send it to Xie Mansion, saying that this is our Changxin Hou Mansion's apologization."
"Shizi," Wei Zhong's expression changed, and he was rather puzzled: "This time it is obviously our little son who has suffered. Why are you going to apologize to the Xie family?"
"Just do the same." Wei Lan sat down by Wei Xiong's bed, and Zhang hurriedly got up and walked away. Although Wei Zhong sighed, the master's words did not allow him to question anything, so he could only do it himself.
After Wei Zhong left, Wei Lan probed Wei Xiong's body temperature, which was scorching hot.
"Go to the ice room to get the ice, put it in the basin, keep wiping it, and feed more water. And you," he turned his head and glanced at the crying maids on the ground, and said calmly: "You Don't cry, as a woman, she cries when something happens, what it looks like!"
Everyone was taken aback for a moment. After a while, Zhang hurriedly knelt down, speculating cleverly and saying: "Yes, the son of the world has taught you that, as the maid of the Changxinhou Mansion, naturally you have to be stable!"
Zhang's words made everyone finally understand Wei Lan's words, and they kowtowed. Wei Lan didn't speak either, nodded and said, "I'll go see grandma."
With that, he got up and went to the backyard.
When she arrived in the backyard, Mrs. Wei was already awake, and she was reclining on the couch to drink medicine. After hearing the announcement from her servant, she saw Wei Lan walking far away.
Wei Hua is the number one beauty in Shengjing, and Wei Lan, who is exactly the same as Wei Hua, is naturally extremely beautiful. Porcelain-like skin looks like snow in the sun, with beautiful eyebrows and a tall and slender figure. Although her thin shoulders and slender waist appear to be thinner to men, she has a magnanimous demeanor, and her steps are unique to the family. The grace and luxury of the prince did not feel weak, but the elegance of the noble son.
He walked all the way to the front of Mrs. Wei, and bowed in an upright manner. Then he said: "How is grandma better?"
"Lan'er," Mrs. Wei looked at him complicatedly, as if she was thinking of something: "You are... fifteen this year."
"Birthday passed last month," Wei Lan nodded and replied with a smile. Mrs. Wei held back and held back, and finally said to others: "Mother Xu, you go down first and let Lan'er feed me."
Mother Xu, who was feeding Mrs. Wei with medicine next to him, retreated and handed the medicine bowl to Wei Lan. Wei Lan guessed what Mrs. Wei was going to say, but she did not stop him, and let everyone back. Sitting beside Mrs. Wei generously, he respectfully fed her medicine.
Seeing him so generous and calm, Mrs. Wei couldn't help sighing, and finally said: "If your brother can have half of you, that's it! Lan'er, you can't live like this forever, right?"
"Grandma, don't worry," Wei Lan didn't change her expression after hearing this. "When I stabilize the Hou Mansion and pave the road for my brother, I will naturally exchange it with my brother."
"But you're all fifteen," Mrs. Wei was anxious: "An ordinary fifteen-year-old girl, who is not married or married directly?! You will be an old girl when you wait for marriage. How can you find a good relationship?"
Hearing this, Wei Lan did not speak, and calmly fed the medicine to Mrs. Wei to drink. Mrs. Wei looked at her not irritable or impatient, grabbed her hand, and said directly: "Lan'er, you are the same. After I said it, in your heart, is there anyone who can't marry?"
Otherwise, which daughter's family is not anxious to marry at this time? !
Hearing Mrs. Wei's words, Wei Lan was a little bit dumbfounded. After feeding the last sip of the medicine, he comforted: "Grandma, it's not that I don't want to marry, but the situation is not tolerant. I thought I had told you clearly before. , Look at this Changxin Hou Mansion..."
Wei Lan pointed outside and said seriously: "It seems safe and wealthy, but in fact it is already like a tired egg. Because of you, the mother of the uncle and the uncle died early, although it was not your intention, but for the uncle and the uncle, this is yours. Wrong, they will naturally take this as your fault in their hearts. They are now the patrons of the sage, the uncle is the fourth-grade prime minister, and the second uncle is the sixth-grade Cangbu Lingshi. If it weren’t for the father’s usefulness in the sage, Do you think that Chang Xinhou's position now belongs to his father?"
The position is a vacant position. If the sage is willing, the position of Lord Hou can hold the military power; the sage is not willing, and the position of the hou is just receiving some salary. However, what the waiting position represents is also the hereditary identity and the wealth that the Hou Mansion has accumulated over the years. For this identity and these money, there are so many dirty things in each Hou Mansion that it is simply too many to write.
Listening to Wei Lan's words, Mrs. Wei's face turned pale. She was not guilty of Xu's death that year.
Mrs. Wei was born in the famous Lin family. Before entering, the Xu family was already the concubine of the old man. The Xu family and the old lady grew up as childhood sweethearts, but because of their low status, they have never been upright, but the old lady may have promised her and will not marry again in this life. But later due to family considerations, the old lady was forced to marry Mrs. Wei. Before Mrs. Wei entered the door, she only heard that there was a concubine of the Xu family. She did not know anything else. However, on the day that Mrs. Wei entered, the Xu family was in the room. Hanged.
For this reason, she had eaten the vegetarian food for a lifetime, and she was extremely generous towards Wei Yan and Wei Kai. However, the hatred of the two children could not be let go. She stubbornly believed that Mrs. Wei killed her mother, and she felt that Wei Shao had taken away their sons. The bit.
"If it weren't because my father was good at leading soldiers to fight, the saint would not like him, but he would not bury talents. Do you think that the waiting position is still the father's? Father has the talents of generals, but what about the brother?"
Wei Lan’s tone has always been calm, calm and indifferent, but she heard Mrs. Wei sweat in a cold sweat. When she mentioned Wei Hua, she poked her into the eyes. He looked at the plain expression of the person in front of her, and listened to her: "My brother You love to pretend to be a woman and act like a woman. You let this kind of brother support the Hou Mansion, didn't you let him go to death? Even if the uncle and the uncle don’t do anything, the doctor’s clerk would be enough to drown his brother. And, in the face of their mother-killing hatred, do you think they will let go of your brother?"
"Grandma," Wei Lan put the bowl on the table. With the sound of the porcelain touching the wooden table, Wei Lan's voice also faintly rang: "Blood debts are always paid by blood. You can only want to marry if you live. If you don’t marry, you don’t marry, you want to be prosperous and wealthy in the future, and you will have a century of inheritance.
"The battlefield is ruthless. My father is now forty years old. In the past few decades, he has suffered countless injuries, large and small. If it weren't for the support of this family, he would have been transferred back to his cultivation. But now he has to continue, Because Changxin Hou’s Mansion has no one who can support him except him. Now that his father is broken, everyone is broken. So, grandma," Wei Lan stretched out her hand to hold Mrs. Wei’s hand and said seriously: "You give me In a moment, let me hand over a stable Changxinhou Mansion to my brother."
"But...but..." Mrs. Wei was full of grievances: "You are a girl after all!"
Hearing this, Wei Lan laughed loudly, sounding like a jade, bringing the magnanimity that is rarely found in an ordinary daughter's family: "It is the daughter's family that must have Lingyunzhi, walk on the cloud ladder, stand up for life, and stay in history. Fame."
Mrs. Wei looked at Wei Lan in amazement. Wei Lan seemed to know that Mrs. Wei didn't understand her and didn't explain much. She smiled and stood up and said, "Don't worry, grandma, after a few years, everything will be fine. I will solve the marriage problem myself."
Mrs. Wei did not speak. She always knew that her granddaughter was never her control. She remembered that when Wei Lan was a child, she was actually a soft, squeaky temper. With Wei Hua, they were almost two crying bags. But I don't remember when it started, and it grew up slowly.
She didn't cry anymore, began to study hard, and even practiced martial arts in the garden. She was extremely self-disciplined regardless of the cold winter, the scorching heat and cold autumn. But at the age of twelve, he was able to write a parallel essay policy theory that amazed the gentlemen of Taixue, and won the general who retreated from the frontier.
At that time, she told Mrs. Wei that she wanted to go to Taixue instead of her brother. She even came up with a complete disguise plan, from 12 to 30 years old, how to cover up, how to act, and how to push after being seen through. She went out to punish her without being involved... her mind was not as clear as a twelve-year-old.
At that time, she resolutely rejected Wei Lan. Wei Lan pretended to compromise. As a result, she ran away alone in the middle of the night. Before she ran, she left a letter to tell her not to publicize her departure. In the future, everyone said Wei Hua was her sister.
Mrs. Wei was anxious at the time, but taking into account the reputation of her daughter’s family, she did not say anything. She sent someone to chase her, but there was no news. After missing for two years, Mrs. Wei suddenly heard that she thought this granddaughter would never come back. According to the news, Wei Lan, the eldest son of the Changxin Hou Mansion, assassinated General Di Jie and won first-class military service. He was personally commended by his majesty. Without Wei Shao's application, he directly made Wei Lan the first son.
When the imperial decree came down, Mrs. Wei was so angry.
Where is the eldest son Wei Lan from Changxin Hou Mansion! There is only one concubine Wei Lan! The son of Changxin Hou's Mansion, one Wei Hua, one Wei Xiong, and Wei Lan, a woman disguised as a man to join the army, did not even want to change her name!
Mrs. Wei had to change the name on the genealogy overnight, and lost the identity of Wei Lan and Wei Hua. Then privately, the same clan elders said that they made a mistake in the past. It was not a big deal at first, but now the imperial decree must be changed. . Then, after accepting everyone's congratulations with trepidation, he explained the reasons with familiar people. Fortunately, in Beijing for many years, Mrs. Wei hardly walked with others. Wei Hua and Wei Lan looked exactly the same. Especially when they were young, they couldn't tell the difference. Everyone accepted Mrs. Wei's words.
So Wei Lan succeeded in becoming the eldest son, making Mrs. Wei a headache when she thinks of it.
But after Wei Lan became the eldest son, the benefits were obvious. After all, Wei Lan was a elder son who was loved by the sage.
Father is expensive with son. Hearing that Wei Shao is on the front line, he finally changed from the forward position. If Wei Lan stays in Beijing for a while, she might not be far from being transferred back.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wei felt that it was not such a bad thing for Wei Lan to become the prince.
But when I think of Wei Lan's temperament that is more masculine than his brother, and Wei Hua's appearance that is more delicate than her sister, Mrs. Wei feels heartbroken, really heartbroken. I really want to put these two people back in their mother's womb, change their genders and be born again!
