143 Chapter 143
Looking at the few bandits in front of him who were carrying long knives and had fierce expressions, Chongyan didn't expect that he would be so unlucky.
He finally received an appointment from Beijing more than a month ago, so he packed up and set off to go to Beijing, Chonglan also specially sent guards to protect him on the road, but there was a flash flood after most of the journey, he and the guards were separated, and they met the mountain bandits who robbed the silver all the way.
There were a few people who walked with him around who were squatting on the ground and shivering, he hesitated for a moment, but still lifted his robe and squatted down, knowing the current affairs as Junjie.
The bandits left them behind, cursing and cursing, and then ruffled around a carriage that had just been tripped over with stones, and then lifted the curtain and laughed: "Brothers, we are fortunate that there are several delicate ladies in it. ”
As he spoke, he was about to reach out to pull it, and a frightened cry was immediately heard from the car, Chongyan frowned, his mind turned, he raised his head and opened his mouth: "Stop." ”
The bandits paused for a moment, and then saw a green shadow flash, and a tall and slender figure got out, hugging his chest and squinting at these bandits.
After a long pause, the bandit was also stunned, and with an evil smile on his face, he wanted to touch the woman's chin: "This girl is anxious?" ”
Wei Siniang raised her eyebrows, and before she could see how she moved, she saw that a human head had risen into the sky, and several of his companions saw that he was killed in an instant, and rushed forward with knives without having time to think about it, but unfortunately they were not her opponents, and in a blink of an eye, they were lying on the ground.
After killing someone, she ignored the thanks of others, stretched out her hand and flicked the blood beads on the sword, and was about to withdraw the sword from the scabbard and turn to leave, when she heard a clear voice next to her: "Miss Wei stays." ”
She stood where she was, tilted her head and said in surprise, "It's you." ”
Chongyan sighed and said: "Chong has no power to restrain the chicken, so the girl laughs, I don't know if I can go with the girl, and there is a good way to take care of it on the road." ”
Wei Siniang looked him up and down a few times, nodded and said, "Get in the car." ”
After a pause, he hesitated: "Isn't it convenient for me to share a car with the girl?" ”
Wei Siniang glanced at him strangely and pointed to the location outside the car: "What do you want?" The driver of the car was killed by a stone just now, of course you are helping to drive the car, otherwise what else can you do? ”
Chongyan: "...... Good. ”
Fortunately, it is not difficult to catch the car, his brain is not in vain when he hits the jinshi, and after pondering for a while, he will catch up, Wei Siniang's voice came out of the car idly: "Hurry steadily, don't be too fast." After a while, he said disgustedly: "Don't be too slow." ”
Chongyan: "...... Got it. ”
He was not a person of many words, but Wei Siniang obviously spoke less than him, and it was very difficult for the two to be silent all the time, when he was at home, Chongzheng and Chonglan were chattering and didn't feel anything, but at this time, he felt very awkward, and he had nothing to say: "The girl went back to Beijing alone?" Didn't you bring a guard on the road? ”
Wei Siniang's voice came out not lightly: "My mother came back in advance, I was walking behind with the guards, but I didn't expect to encounter a flash flood a few days ago, most of them were scattered, and the remaining few were also injured, so I left them in the post house first, and then asked someone to come to the hospital for treatment after returning to Beijing." ”
Chongyan answered, and just helped her drive all the way to the capital, and the two separated.
However, fate is sometimes difficult to say, after he entered Beijing, he was quite appreciated by Wei Taifu, who saw that he had not yet purchased a house, and even invited him to his house to live temporarily, so there were more opportunities to contact Wei Siniang, and the two could always talk about one place when they met, which was quite like-minded.
The older young man tossed and turned for half a month, and finally realized that he had a person he wanted, and he was about to propose a marriage, when a thunderbolt suddenly came on a sunny day - the second son of the Marquis of Jinxiang asked Taifu Wei to marry Wei Siniang, and Taifu himself was also quite moved.
Chongyan frowned when he learned the news, and walked to the backyard of the Wei family without knowing it, and saw Wei Siniang being grabbed by a grandmother.
She poked a few times and couldn't do it, so she simply thought of a way to break her mother away, and she played with the embroidery needle to shoot the fallen leaves, which looked a little childish.
Chongyan's throat moved, and he stepped forward uncontrollably and asked, "Does the girl know... What is the second son of the Marquis of Jinxiang? ”
Wei Siniang glanced at him, and didn't seem to be surprised by his sudden arrival, but just nodded casually.
He was silent and asked with a little caution: "What does that girl think, she decided to marry the second son of the Marquis of Jinxiang?" ”
Wei Siniang lowered her head and played with the embroidery needle in her hand: "It doesn't matter." ”
Chong Yan felt a rush of blood to his head, took a deep breath and asked, "What if I also come to the door to propose?" Are you willing to get married? ”
Wei Siniang glanced up at him: "Do you use school girl red?" ”
Chongyan had a smile on his face, and his voice was still as light as water: "Chong still has some family background, so you don't need to sew clothes by yourself." ”
She sighed, "Yes." ”
After she finished speaking, she got up and took a few steps forward, and the maid next to her came up to support her: "The person the girl is waiting for is the heavy son?" ”
Wei Siniang glanced at her: "Guess." ”
The maid pouted and stopped talking.
Chongyan is not an indecisive person, since he has made up his mind, he prepared a generous gift and a sincere and touching letter, and took it to the Wei Mansion to propose, while writing to Chonglan to ask for a way, not asking Mrs. Wei to agree immediately, just to delay the matter of Jinxiang Hou's courtship.
Mrs. Wei was very surprised when he heard his request to propose marriage, you must know that Wei Siniang is notoriously difficult to marry in Beijing, why are all the peach blossoms rushed?
He inevitably hesitated in his heart, although he was optimistic about Chongyan's talent, but Chongyan was not as good as Jinxianghou's foundation, but it was not good to go back, if the two were compared, he had a plan in his heart, and politely sent Chongyan out.
Chonglan was also taken aback when she received the letter, how could her eldest brother who was a 10,000-year-old bachelor open up the truth? But surprised, it was still necessary to help her eldest brother hold the beauty, she brushed down a few methods, and quickly sent Chongyan over.
Chongyan received the method and immediately started to buy it, and every once in a while, he gave gifts to the Wei Mansion, down to the faceless people, and up to the two members of the Wei Taifu, and none of them were left behind.
Mrs. Wei took the gift and returned it, but Mrs. Wei took a closer look, and it was inevitable to compare it in her heart, if you want to say that the gift, the Hou Mansion also gave a lot, all of them are precious and exquisite, but there is no shortage of valuables in their house, but it is re-delayed, although it is not very precious, but it is obviously with heart and to do what it likes, it is easy to use money, and it is the most difficult to use heart.
She paid attention to Chongyan's side first, ordered someone to prepare a gift and send it back, and then pulled the subordinate who came back with a gift and asked, "How is this eldest son of the Chong family?" ”
It was the grandmother beside her who was sent, who was an experienced worker, and had already inquired clearly, so she smiled and said: "Although the eldest son of the heavy family does not talk much, he is steady and polite in dealing with people." ”
Mrs. Wei's face did not move, and she asked tightly: "I see that he is not young, how many people are in the house?" ”
Mama said with a smile; "The eldest son of the heavy family is not good at this, there is no one in the house to serve, either a little maid who has not grown hair, or an old lady in her forties and fifties, where is the person in the room?"
Mrs. Wei was surprised at this time, she was the second son of the Marquis of Jinxiang, and she could be regarded as clean, and there were inevitably two people in the house to serve, so why didn't she even have one to serve at such an age?
Seeing that he was surprised, Mama hurriedly lowered her voice and said: "Don't be surprised, madam, I have inquired, the mother of the son of the heavy family was killed by his father's favored concubine, and he swore not to accept a concubine. ”
There is no in-laws to serve at the top, the family population at the bottom is simple, and the sister-in-law Chonglan she has also seen, it is by no means such a troubled thing, and Chongyan is willing to delay himself for his younger siblings for so many years, and his character is also remarkable, Mrs. Wei has already leaned to most of her heart, but she said: "Look at what you said is perfect, if it is not as good as you say, your own skin." ”
Mrs. Wei has been worried about her daughter's marriage since she beat Wei Siniang and Lu, and she is anxious about something, just as the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, she simply posted a post and asked her to come to the house for a banquet.
Over there, Chonglan also helped him think of a way, and asked Yan He to invite an old friend in Beijing to take Chongyan to meet people, and Mrs. Wei saw Chongyan's tall and upright posture behind the screen, and his appearance was handsome and graceful.
In comparison, the son of the Hou Mansion was much worse in appearance, and her heart had completely collapsed, and she walked out of the screen and greeted Chongyan with a smile.
After she went back, she pulled Mrs. Wei and said, "Have you decided on our Siniang's family affairs?" I see that the child in the family is good, and his appearance and conduct are good. ”
Mrs. Wei was still hesitating, and said, "He is naturally a good person, but he is the family background of the heavy family..."
She patted the table without waiting for Mrs. Wei to finish speaking: "It's okay to be a good person, I look at the family background of the heavy family, and my daughter can still be clothed and fed when she marries, besides, with a brother-in-law like Governor Yan and our family, where can his future be bad?" ”
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was good to be reextended, there were a lot of unmarried ladies in Beijing, how could such a good son-in-law be snatched away?
These words have already regarded Chongyan as her own heroine, and Mrs. Wei was still weighing, and she pulled her beard to the study, and said angrily: "Do you want to marry your daughter or sell your daughter?" Isn't it more important for the girl to live well in the future than the family background of her husband's family? ! ”
Mrs. Wei is even more afraid of being than He Lao, and she can't be noisy by her, so with a big stroke of the pen, it's right!
Chonglan's policy of currying favor with his mother-in-law was successful, and when he heard that the marriage date of his eldest brother and Wei Siniang had been set, he traveled all the way from Hangzhou to Beijing to accept the results.
The wedding day was lively, the two were wearing wedding dresses, and their originally calm faces were a little more happy.
Wei Siniang raised her eyebrows in the cave room and asked him: "I can't do anything except martial arts, I can't do poetry right, and I don't need to mention the female red chef, why do you want to marry me?" ”
Chongyan's always cold face flashed with a smile: "In addition to not knowing martial arts, I can do poetry and poetry, and female celebrities can't cook, aren't you and I a natural pair?" ”
