Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

On the other side.

Madam Zhang and Wei Shuyi were strolling around the entire Bo Mansion.

The former said as they walked:

"This used to be the Duke's Mansion, surrounded by mountains and rivers. The courtyard in the mansion alone is about a hundred acres."

"This does not include a small lake in the back mountain and the front and back forests."

"Originally, Yuan'er planned to pick a courtyard with more rooms for you."

"I have calculated that even if you, Minglan, Mu Ge'er or your second sister's family come here in the future, more than 20 rooms will be enough."

"So I thought about choosing your courtyard near the small lake in the back mountain, where the scenery is better. When you are free, you can gather by the lake to enjoy the scenery and snow, which are all great."

How could Wei Shuyi not feel that Madam Zhang had put a lot of effort into choosing a courtyard for him and Ruyi when he heard this.

"Madam, you treat my Wei family brothers and sisters so well. In the future, I, my three brothers and sisters, really don't know how to repay this kindness."

She was indeed very grateful to the Zhang family.

From the small matter of choosing a courtyard for her two sisters, it can be seen that Madam Zhang recognizes them as relatives.

This is already quite rare in the current world.

Besides, my younger brother asked Madam Zhang to send someone to take care of the courtyard.

Madam 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 Madam Zhang didn’t mention these things.

“Forgive me, you are also my junior, you don’t need to call me Madam, just call me aunt.”

“Your Wei family and our Zhang family will rise and fall together in the future. If you say these polite words again, I, as your aunt, will inevitably say a few words to you.”

Madam Zhang’s words are also heartfelt.

From now on, the leader of the nobles will be Wei Yuan.

Zhang Fu is gradually handing the baton to Wei Yuan.

As for who Wei Yuan will hand over to in the future, it is not something he can worry about.

But it is foreseeable that if the general situation does not change or if there is no proud son of heaven in the noble mansions.

In the next generation, or even several generations later, the baton of the head of the nobles of the Great Zhou will be rotated between the Zhang and Wei families.

The head of the nobles is not determined by who has a higher title, but by 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 were newly built according to the level of the main house.

Although there are some violations, it is also Mrs. Zhang's heart.

After all, in this day and age, which noble mansion does not have some violations?

It is not a big deal.

"The courtyard you live in at the Sheng family is called Mu Cang Zhai. I always feel that it is a bit lifeless and not very nice."

"It is now the beginning of spring, and this courtyard was personally selected for you and your second sister."

"I took the word 'Yi' from your names. There is a loft in this courtyard where you can enjoy the snow, flowers and scenery."

"So, I named this courtyard Chun Yi Pavilion. If you are not satisfied, change it according to your wishes."

Mrs. Zhang spoke slowly.

Wei Shuyi murmured, "Chun Yi Pavilion?"

She named the courtyard of the Sheng family Mu Cang Zhai.

Because she had lost some of her spirit a long time ago.

In this life, staying in the Sheng family seems to have come to an end at a glance.

Either competing with Lin Qinshuang for favor, or fighting with the eldest lady of the family for the power of housekeeper.

It's so boring.

Mu Cang, you can see the end at a glance, that's what it means.

But the things that happened recently have been impacting her from time to time.

For example, her younger brother was made an earl, and her parents both had official positions.

For example, the respect of the Zhang family

These things made Wei Shuyi see hope for her future life.

Spring

Welcome spring, isn't it welcoming the new?

"Chun Yi Pavilion sounds good."

"Aunt, you've taken the trouble."

Mrs. Zhang heard Wei Shuyi call her aunt.

She smiled and said:

"That's right."

"I regard Yuan'er as my own son, and I will treat you and your second sister as my daughters."

Hearing this, Wei Shuyi was deeply moved.

However, what surprised her was still behind,

"Shuyi, if you don't mind, you can recognize me as your godmother, okay?"

Godmother?

Wei Shuyi was shocked!

He bowed quickly and said: "Aunt, no, I... I'm just a concubine."

However, the words were not finished yet.

Madam Zhang held her hand and said sternly:

"Shuyi, from now on, I won't allow you to belittle yourself like this."

"What's wrong with being a concubine? With my Zhang family backing you up, you are still a concubine wherever you go. Even the eldest lady in your family will be polite to you when she sees you."

"You are gentle, and I dream of having a daughter like you."

Wei Shuyi was deeply moved and said with tears in her eyes: "Aunt's love is so great that I can't repay it."

"It's just that I'm going to marry Sister Guifen and you are the lady of the country. If I take a concubine as my goddaughter, I'm worried that someone will gossip about it."

Madam Zhang said: "In fact, I have long intended to take you as my godchild, but the timing is not right."

"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 of 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 entertain 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 he rashly asks for a royal title for his sister, he 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.
