Chapter 33 Marriage Matters

The matter of marriage is not just a matter of two words, and there are still many processes according to the rules. Wei Lai never thought of getting married, and he didn't know this, but fortunately, there was an overzealous Marshal Wei, as soon as the two of them left the gate of Shangshu Mansion, he took over the matter in a big way.

I don't know if it was because he was afraid that Wei Lai would regret it, Marshal Wei acted quickly, and it only took one day to prepare almost all the things that needed to be prepared for the appointment. Early in the morning of the third day, he came to Wei Lai with a red lacquer gift box: "Xiao Wei, come on, come on, write the Geng post first, and the He family is still waiting for the eight characters of the birthday." ”

Wei Lai was a little helpless, but the matter had come to this point, and she couldn't help but say anything more. Honestly took the Geng post that Marshal Wei took out from the red lacquer gift box and opened it to see that in addition to the eight characters of his birthday, Marshal Wei had already written the other contents, and the final payment was also Marshal Wei's name.

Without waiting for Wei Lai to ask, Wei Yan explained: "This Geng post was originally written and exchanged by the elders, and now that your parents are not around, Ben Shuai will be a shy face and return to the elders." But it's a coincidence, you and I are both surnamed Wei, maybe it was really a family hundreds of years ago, you just call me uncle, and you won't suffer. ”

What is Wei Yan's identity? It's not so easy for others to want to take care of their relatives, how could Wei Lai not know what to do. She thanked her, and said nothing more, just picked up the pen and tried to write as properly as possible. But Rao is like this, compared with Marshal Wei's iron painting and silver hook, it is still more than a star and a half behind.

After writing it, Wei Lai took the post and looked at it, and inevitably blushed a little. Seeing this, Wei Yan made a rare joke: "Xiao Wei, you should still practice calligraphy, you can read and understand military books if you are not literate." He Zhi's girl, but she is a famous talented girl in the capital, and she can handle all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”

As soon as Marshal Wei said it, Wei Lai's face turned even redder. Although she didn't really want to marry He Zhi, the gap between the two was so big that it still made her feel a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she always felt unworthy. Glancing at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that was almost just a decoration in her room, Wei Lai began to consider, is she really going to start practicing calligraphy?

The light sound of knuckles tapping on the table pulled Wei Lai's slightly wandering thoughts back, Wei Yan seemed to have seen all Wei Lai's careful thoughts, and smiled at this moment: "Okay, the matter of practicing calligraphy is not in a hurry, are you ready for the things to be posted?" ”

Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, but he looked left and right, but he really couldn't find anything to bet on. She thought about it, took out a jade pendant from her arms, and solemnly put it into the red lacquer gift box.

Wei Yan didn't say anything when he saw it, closed the lid of the box and left in a hurry with the gift box.

*****************************************************************

Wei Lai felt that getting married must be a very troublesome thing. Although she is not married yet, she is just married, and Marshal Wei and Mrs. Wei help to manage it, which is also enough to toss.

Although the previous rumors about Wei Lai and He Zhi spread strongly in Beijing, most of them were still spread among the upper class, so there was no rumor in the Dingbei army. But this time, Wei Lai's decision to marry was somehow spread, and it caused a stir in the Dingbei Army for a while.

Wei Lai is rarely brave and good at fighting, and the most important thing is to be humble, and her popularity in the army has always been good, especially among the black-armored cavalry, and everyone respects her one by one. Earlier, Wei said that he was going to resign, which really scared them, who knew that it didn't take long for the peak to turn around, and when they learned the news, these people looked much happier than Wei Lai.

No, as soon as the day's drill ended, Wei Lai was surrounded by the black-armored cavalry before he could get out of the school field. And then a bunch of gossip questions were thrown at her:

"General, I heard that you are going to marry? What kind of girl is it? ”

"General, you're going to marry a daughter-in-law, so you won't resign and return to your hometown, right?"

"General, you haven't settled a house in the capital yet, have you? Where does my daughter-in-law live when she marries? ”

"General, there is a house near my house that is about to be sold, the place is big enough and not expensive, why don't you come with me to see it now......"

……

This topic is too crooked, and it didn't take long for me to go from whether I wanted to marry, and directly to which store in the capital had good furniture, and who knew the mason with good craftsmanship and cheapness......

Wei Lai stood in the center of the crowd and glanced at them silently, feeling that none of these people were reliable except for fighting. But in the end, she was dragged out of the barracks by this group of unreliable and overly enthusiastic black-armored cavalry.

Because Wang Hu said that when the marriage is made, the woman is going to the man's house to see each other, and at that time, she must leave a good impression on the other party. And Wei Lai didn't settle down in the capital at all, so he couldn't let people come to the barracks to see it at that time, right?

In fact, Wei Lai didn't care about this, because she knew that this marriage was just a delaying tactic, and she would have to finish this life alone after all. But thinking about He Zhi, she felt that she shouldn't have wronged the other party, she couldn't give the other party more, but at least the surface work at the moment had to be done. And the house will not suffer a loss if she sells it again after she resigns.

Thinking like this, Wei Lai finally followed them out of the barracks, and honestly went to look at the house.

*****************************************************************

Unlike the chaos on Wei Lai's side, He Zhi's side is as usual.

Mrs. He didn't know that Wei Lai had deliberately refused to marry, but a few days after seeing the rumors, she came to the house to set up a marriage, and she was sincere. At this time, although she still had some doubts about Wei Lai's status as a military general, she also began to manage her daughter with peace of mind, and the matter of marriage was carried out in an orderly manner in her hands.

Because of the marriage, He Zhi is no longer easy to go out at will, let alone listen to her father's words to "meet" Wei Lai, so she can stay at home to read, write, play the piano and paint, and her life is also rare and peaceful.

"Miss, Wei Lai...... The Geng post from the future uncle's side was delivered. At noon on the third day after the negotiation of marriage, Xi Qiu got the news in the front yard, so he hurriedly came to Huayu Pavilion to report the news.

He Zhi was really writing, but when she heard that her hand was only slightly paused, she continued to write. That table seems to be bland, but she is also faintly relieved in her heart - the matter of marriage, in fact, she calculated Wei Lai, and she doesn't know if Wei Lai has figured it out after he goes back, but as soon as this Geng post is changed, it is a foregone conclusion, and there are many fewer variables.

made up her mind, and He Zhi didn't reply to Xi Qiu's words, so she continued to write. After a while, a little girl came to the front yard, and she gave Wei Lai the gift sent by Geng Ti - the jade pendant.

"Miss, this jade pendant ......" Xi Qiu was about to say something, but saw He Zhi waving her hand at her, so the words that came to her mouth were swallowed back.

He Zhi took the jade pendant,

"Xi Qiu, find someone to see, what has Wei Lai been busy with in the past two days?" He Zhi played with the jade pendant and ordered casually.

Xi Qiu took the order and left, and when he got the news in the evening, General Xiao Wei had been following a few subordinates around the house recently, and it seemed that he was preparing for a marriage in the future.

When she heard the news, doubts and surprise flashed in He Zhi's eyes. But she didn't say anything, just took out the jade pendant again, and after separating, she handed the half that originally belonged to her to Xi Qiu: "Find an opportunity to send this half of the jade to Wei Lai." ”。
