Chapter 34: Sudden Discovery
A large amount of silver was scattered, but only a few fluttering pieces of paper were exchanged.
Holding the newly arrived deed, Wei Lai couldn't help but reach out and pat his head, and a little annoyance appeared on his face - she didn't know what was wrong with her, and nothing she had done recently looked like she would do, whether it was marrying or buying a house.
After being annoyed, Wei Lai secretly calculated: it cost one hundred taels to buy a jade pendant, and now it costs more than two hundred taels to buy a house, plus the expenses from time to time in the capital during this time...... Unconsciously, her family has shrunk by nearly half?!
Wei Lai is an open-minded person, and he only feels a pain in his flesh at this moment. At this time, Wang Hu took her to see the house and buy a house, and the others were still joining in the fun: "General, the house has been bought, and you will be settled in this capital in the future." In my opinion, it is better to buy two more shops, or go outside the city to buy a Zhuangzi, and also fill in the input for the future family. ”
Still buy?! Wei Lai not only felt a pain in his flesh, but also a toothache!
Hurriedly found an excuse to refuse these people, and Wei Lai hurriedly ran back to the barracks. It's a pity that before she could catch her breath, she was caught by He Lin and his gang, they were not as enthusiastic as the black armored cavalry, but one by two pulled Wei to ask her to have a drink or something, so it was doomed that General Xiao Wei's purse that had just hemorrhaged heavily today would continue to bleed......
Early the next morning, as soon as Wei Yan arrived at the barracks, Wei Lai came to the door, and then said with a righteous face: "Marshal, the last general seems to have no major events in the army recently, I wonder if I can give the last general some vacation and return to his hometown to visit his mother?" ”
Wei is talking about visiting his mother, not picking up his mother, and the meaning of the difference between the words is also very different, how could an old fox like Wei Yan not hear it? However, he only flashed his eyes, and said quietly: "You and the girl of the He family are not young anymore, and this matter really can't be delayed." Tell me, how long are you going on this trip? ”
Wei Lai didn't know about it
When Wei Yan heard this, he said without thinking about it: "Okay, I'll give you three months of vacation." ”
Trimester? This time is more than what Wei Lai wants, but it is twice as much! Wei Lai glanced at Wei Yan very unexpectedly, and always felt that the marshal was calculating something, so she had to speak: "Marshal, this time is ...... It's too long, and it will only take forty days. ”
When Marshal Wei heard this, he waved his hand very generously and said: "It's okay, you have been on the expedition for seven years, and it is rare to go home, so don't rush to rush around, walk slower on the road, or stay at home for a while longer." ”
When he said this, Wei Yan's face was frank, and he almost wrote on his face, "I'm thinking about you and doing it for your good". It's a pity that Wei Lai has been with him for a long time, and Marshal Wei doesn't have the ability to stun people like Miss He, so his behavior made Wei Lai more and more suspicious.
“…… Stinky boy, get out of here! You're not happy to give you a long vacation?! Marshal Wei was a little annoyed and angry by Wei Lai's undisguised suspicious eyes, but while he was angry, he still didn't forget to remind: "Remember to go to Shangshufu to say before leaving, lest people think that you ran away, and then look for me to ask for someone!" ”
Wei Lai withdrew from the house speechlessly, but when he looked up at the sunny sun outside, he couldn't help but feel a little happy when he thought that the time for returning to his hometown to visit relatives had doubled.
Of course, the most important thing now is to hurry to Shangshu Mansion, because she has already decided to leave early tomorrow morning.
*****************************************************************
"Miss, the master asked you to go to the front hall." The messenger came in a hurry and interrupted Yaxing, who was reading a book.
The front hall is a place for guests, and it is usually not her daughter's turn to go to her house, unless the person who comes is more special. He Zhi already had a guess in her heart when she put down the book, but when she followed the maid out, she still asked, "Who is coming to the house today?" ”
He Zhi's temperament is gentle and generous, not as arrogant and coquettish as ordinary young ladies, and the maid who delivered the message was not afraid of her, and chuckled when she heard the words: "Miss is so smart, she should have guessed it." The person who came was General Wei, Miss, your future uncle. ”
Because of He Zhi's marriage, the house has been full of joy recently, and even the people with him have become much bolder.
Naturally, He Zhi would not be angry for these two jokes, she just pursed her lips when she heard this, and did not say anything more, but she had already begun to guess the purpose of Wei Lai's visit...... Left, but it's to resign for the sake of returning to his hometown, right?
Sure enough, He Zhi and his entourage had just walked outside the door of the front hall, and before they had time to step into the door, they heard Wei Lai's clear voice coming from inside: "Uncle, the marshal has granted me permission to return to my hometown this morning, and my little nephew came today to resign." ”
Before He Shangshu could reply, he saw his daughter step into the door of the front hall, so he swallowed back what he wanted to say. He smiled and stroked his long beard under his chin, and said, "Zhi'er is here." ”
Wei Lai was facing He Shangshu, so he naturally didn't notice the door, but at this time, his body stiffened unconsciously. It's not that Miss He is so fierce that she is scared in her heart, just thinking about the identity of the two of them as an unmarried couple, and then thinking about the always strange but inexplicable harmonious relationship between the two, Wei Lai subconsciously felt a little uncomfortable.
He Zhi glanced at Wei Lai when she entered the door, and naturally saw her small movements in her eyes, and suddenly frowned slightly. At this time, she was not in a hurry to say anything, she still saluted her father in a regular manner, and then officially moved her gaze to Wei Lai: "I heard outside the door just now, are you here to say goodbye?" ”
Wei Lai didn't expect her to be so direct, and after being stunned for a moment, he nodded and said: "That's right, the marshal has allowed me to return to my hometown for a vacation, and I plan to leave early tomorrow morning, and I will leave today." ”
He Zhi nodded when she heard this, but she didn't say anything about this matter, but suddenly changed the topic and asked, "Wei Lai, what you promised me on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, do you remember it now?" ”
Mid-Autumn Festival? With this reminder, Wei Lai quickly remembered the conversation between the two that night......
"What about the small towns in the south? If I can go someday, how about you show me what you know? He Zhi asked at that time.
"Okay." At that time, Wei Lai replied like this.
And so an agreement was formed. Even if Wei Lai at that time may never have thought of realizing this agreement, but at this moment, she has always kept her promises, and she can't break her promise and get fat.
Seeing Wei Lai's wizened and drooping appearance, He Zhi knew that she remembered. A smile flashed in her eyes, and He Zhi spoke: "Since you still remember Wei Lai, can you come to Shangshu Mansion to pick me up early tomorrow morning?" ”
"Eh, Zhi'er, ...... you" Before Wei Lai could nod, He Shangshu, who was sitting on the side drinking tea and watching, was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask.
He Zhi smiled lightly, and in the face of his father's questioning, he said generously: "Daddy, my daughter has never left the capital, I have heard General Xiao Wei mention the rare scenery of her hometown before, and I want to walk with her, I wonder if my father can agree?" ”
Such a decision was actually a bit sudden, if it weren't for the uncomfortable appearance before Wei Lai, He Zhi wouldn't have to follow her on this trip. It's just that she has her own pride, and since she chose Wei Lai, she naturally still wants the other party to marry her willingly, rather than relying on calculations to get this marriage. What's more, Wei Lai was already interested in her, and this trip was a great opportunity to increase the time between the two of them and their feelings for each other.
He Shangshu may not have thought about it much, but he has always trusted his daughter, so he only hesitated slightly, and then nodded. Then, the eyes of the father and daughter moved to Wei Lai together......
Under Miss He's expectant and He Shangshu's warning gaze, Wei Lai only felt a tingling of his scalp. She suddenly found that when she faced these people after returning to Beijing, she seemed to have no room to speak. It was as if at this moment, she had nodded unconsciously under the gaze of those two eyes.
