Wei Shao is not a stupid person, as soon as An Ruolan said that the timing was not right, she immediately understood.

After figuring it out, she said: "It's that I didn't think it through, I'm going to tell my mother that I won't marry Second Brother Yan, so she doesn't have to bother." ”

As he spoke, he was going to turn back to the Duchess of Weiguo.

"You wait!" An Ruolan grabbed her with tears and laughter, and said, "I want to make it clear to my mother, but it's not that I won't marry the second prince, but I want to discuss the marriage later." ”

Wei Shao blinked suspiciously, and after understanding, he said: "It doesn't matter to me sooner or later, but Second Brother Yan may not agree, I think it's better to forget it, I don't want to delay Second Brother Yan." ”

"You didn't ask him, how do you know if he wants to?" An Ruolan glanced at her with a smile and said, "So you still have to find the second prince to make it clear, if he is willing, after a while, you will get married, if he is unwilling, this matter will be stopped here, and you will save a regret in your heart." ”

Wei Shao thought about it, if he didn't want to, he didn't have to feel sorry for him, they would continue to be friends in the future, if he wanted, she wouldn't mind waiting for a few years.

All kinds of thoughts walked around in his heart, and Wei Shao said, "Then I'll go to him tomorrow to make it clear." ”

An Ruolan nodded, a little distressed about her sensibility.

When Wei Shao went to comfort the Duchess of Weiguo, An Ruolan sighed at Liu: "I don't know how long I have to wait, but now that Xiao Shao is fifteen, he can't afford it." ”

Liu patted her on the shoulder and comforted: "If you can really settle down with the second prince, it won't be a waste." Miss Shao doesn't look like she will suffer, and she will be happy and happy in the second half of her life. ”

An Ruolan smiled silently. How could she not hear that Mother Liu was comforting her?

sighed: "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future, we can only do what we should do now." ”

She didn't want to think about her previous life.

Liu Shi could hear the loneliness and melancholy in her words. After answering, he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Young lady." When will we go back to the Meng Mansion to visit the old lady? ”

An Ruolan didn't want to mention those troubles, so she followed her words and said: "The day after tomorrow, I'll talk to my mother tomorrow and prepare some souvenirs." ”

The master and servant then discussed what gifts to prepare.

Speaking of gifts, An Ruolan remembered a large number of dangerous objects hidden in the room, and began to think about how to find an opportunity to send them to Qianxunju in batches.

In the room of the Duchess of Weiguo, Wei Shao was leaning on his mother's arms and talking. She told her intentions, and Duchess Wei Guo patted her arm with distress and relief, and said, "It's good that you can understand everyone's difficulties." When your father and your brother come back safely, we will definitely let you marry in style. Even if the second prince is not willing to wait, we can find you someone who will not lose to him, even if it is Zhaolang, there is no problem! ”

Wei Shao laughed when he heard this, and asked, "Mother, why don't you agree to the second brother?" ”

"Guess what." Duchess Wei replied casually. is not only guessing, but also guessing, in fact, she thinks that Zhao Yan will agree.

As soon as she thought so, Wei Shao said, "I think Second Brother Yan will agree." ”

Hear the words. Duchess Wei couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked, "Oh? How do you know? ”

"Because Ruolan is not worried, I believe in her vision." Wei Shao said as a matter of course: "And it's not the first day I met Second Brother Yan, he is not a frivolous and casual person." Since he brought up this matter, he will not give up halfway. ”

"You know him." Duchess Wei Guo seemed to be smiling, and suddenly suspected that her daughter did not have any love for the second prince.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have promised him. Just like Second Brother Yan said, we don't have any objects. They know each other very well, and it must be easy to get along after getting married. Wei Shao snapped his fingers and said.

Duchess Wei raised her eyebrows and smiled. said: "Don't be in a hurry to say it later, wait until you ask the second prince tomorrow." ”

Wei Shao nodded repeatedly.

Before Wei Shao returned to the room, Duchess Wei Guo told her: "Although you and Ruolan are good friends, she is now your sister-in-law, don't always call her by her name, so that others will not listen to her." ”

Wei Shao stuck out his tongue, and his mouth responded perfunctorily, but he didn't take it to heart at all.

Duchess Wei didn't bother to persuade her, but only told her to pay attention outside.

The next morning, An Ruolan went to ask Duchess Wei Guo to say goodbye, talking about going to Meng Guofu, Duchess Wei Guo also knew her embarrassing and complicated identity, and agreed without hesitation, and said: "I was too busy a while ago, I forgot about this, long before Wei Xing set out, I should have arranged for you to go to Meng Guofu, I will see if I can spare time tomorrow, Wei Xing is not here, I can only go to Mrs. Meng to say goodbye instead of him." ”

An Ruolan was very moved, which shows that her mother-in-law values her.

Wei Shao was also there, and when he heard this, he raised his hand and said, "I'll go too, I'll go too, I said a long time ago that I would go with Ruolan!" ”

"You're everywhere!" Duchess Wei Guo glanced back at her and said, "It's okay to go, you can settle your own affairs first." ”

Wei Shao pursed his lips, "Isn't it just a matter of one sentence, I'll go out in a while and promise to solve it today." ”

Duchess Wei ignored her, turned her head and discussed with An Ruolan what gift to prepare, because it was the first time to come to the door, and many things had to be paid attention to.

Wei Shao, who was ignored, stuck out his tongue behind her back and grimaced.

Seeing this, An Ruolan wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, she was very envious in her heart, although everyone was also very close to the Hou Mansion, but the rules were there, and it was impossible for everyone to play so unscrupulously.

After breakfast, Wei Shao really went out to find the second prince, An Ruolan wanted to accompany her, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was inappropriate, so she didn't follow, but went to the treasury with Duchess Wei Guo to choose gifts.

After the deputy chief manager was kicked out of the state mansion, the management of the treasury returned to the hands of Chief Manager Li, who still had some opinions about An Ruolan, but he did not come out, he did not forget the rules that should be there, and the responsibility of abiding by it was not ambiguous at all.

Looking at Manager Li's stern face, An Ruolan had no doubt that if she hadn't come with her mother-in-law, Manager Li might not even let her in the door of the warehouse.

Duchess Wei Guo also saw that Manager Li did not like her daughter-in-law, so she could only cast a comforting look at An Ruolan. It's not time yet. The fewer people who know the secret, the better, so she can't explain it to her daughter-in-law.

An Ruolan smiled back at her. Say you don't care.

It took most of the day to pick out all the gifts. Go for Meng Guogong, agarwood incense and sandalwood bracelets for Mrs. Meng, desks and tribute tea for uncles, Suzhou embroidered handkerchiefs and cloths for aunts, small pendants for cousins, and small ornaments for cousins.

There are a lot of things scattered around, among which the set of Go is precious, the chessboard is carved from pineapple wood, and the chess pieces are polished with black jade and white jade. Start with a warm and warm up, even in winter, you can play at will. Although the others are not very valuable, they are all selected according to everyone's preferences.

After picking out the gifts together, Duchess Wei Guo knew how careful An Ruolan was, how much she cared about the people she cared about, and how much she valued her affection and righteousness, and Duchess Wei Guo liked her very much.

The selected gifts are moved to a corner of the storeroom and packaged, and they can be carried directly into the carriage tomorrow.

It was close to noon when I came out of the storeroom, and the cook asked her to come and ask when lunch would be ready. Duchess Wei Guo estimated that Wei Shao was about to come back, so she said: "You can start preparing, let the kitchen make some snacks and send them over, and stand in the warehouse for most of the day." We were both so hungry that our chests were pressed against our backs. ”

The servant smiled and answered, and went to the kitchen to order the preparation of snacks and lunch.

An Ruolan and Duchess Wei Guo were very tired, and went into the flower hall to drink tea and rest. Seeing the Duchess of Weiguo twisting her neck and shrugging her shoulders and beating her legs, Liu glanced at An Ruolan. It means asking her to give her mother-in-law a back and rub her shoulders.

An Ruolan was a little hesitant, not because she didn't want to serve her mother-in-law. But I'm afraid that this will seem too flattering.

However, she only hesitated for a while, and quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Mother, you are tired after standing for a long time, I will give you a beating on the back and relax." ”

As he spoke, he walked behind Duchess Wei Guo and kneaded her stiff shoulders for her.

Duchess Wei Guo was somewhat flattered at first, but soon calmed down.

An Ruolan kneaded just right, she breathed a long sigh of relief with satisfaction, sighed and smiled: "You are still sensible, Wei Xing and Wei Shao are so old that they didn't say to give me a needle." ”

An Ruolan smiled and said, "Husband and Xiao Shao also respect their mother very much, but they express themselves in a different way than me. If my mother likes it, I will give you a beating on your back and shoulders every day in the future. ”

There is nothing false in this statement, she knows very well the importance that her husband and sister-in-law value her mother-in-law, and she herself respects this tough and hearty woman, so when it comes to good words, she is very smooth, because this is also her true words.

Hearing this, Duchess Wei Guo waved her hand and said with a smile: "Don't speak for them." But his expression was joyful.

As soon as Wei Shao entered the door, she saw this warm and harmonious scene, and after blinking to make sure that she was not mistaken, she jumped over happily and quipped: "Mother, I see that you will soon have a daughter-in-law and forget your daughter." ”

Duchess Wei Guo glared at her and said, "It's good to know, learn more!" ”

Wei Shao shook his head painlessly.

Just as the snacks were ready, they were served steaming.

Duchess Wei patted An Ruolan's kneading hand on her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, you can rest too, I just want to be fresh, but I can't bear to tire you." ”

"What's so tiring about this?" An Ruolan smiled, but obediently stopped and sat down on the chair next to her.

The three of them were eating snacks and drinking tea, talking and laughing, and soon it was time for lunch.

When the man in the family is not there, the three women eat together at every meal, which can be regarded as comforting and accompanying each other.

At the dinner table, Wei Shao suddenly said with his eyebrows flying: "Forget what I said, Second Brother Yan said that he had thought of this earlier, and asked me to wait for him for a few years, so this thing is done!" ”

"That's great!" An Ruolan couldn't help but smile, and she was really happy for her.

Duchess Wei Guo poured cold water: "Don't wait until the end of the day he has a group of concubines, but you are old and yellow and no one wants it." ”

"No, it won't! I believe in Second Brother Yan! Wei Shao patted his chest and reassured.

"Eat yours!" Duchess Wei Guo stuffed the chicken leg into her bowl, and then gave An Ruolan another one. (To be continued......)
