Early the next morning, I arranged for Lao Liu to prepare a gift, which was a little heavier, which was also a prospective father-in-law, and I wanted to leave a good impression.

I came back from the palace early in the afternoon, and let Lao Liu prepare the gift Lao Liu was also ready, considering that Uncle Wei Zihan was also born in the literati, and prepared things that met their tastes, two sides of the inkstone, two boxes of Hui ink, two knives of high-grade rice paper, and two pairs of jade pendants, and other small things are two pairs, and it is also an auspicious picture, at five o'clock in the afternoon, it is estimated that Uncle Wei Zihan is almost home, so I asked Lao Liu and Liu Lianjiang to follow me to the Wei Mansion with gifts.

Arrived at the door of the Wei Mansion, Lao Liu first went to hand over the fold, the door went in for a while, yesterday to go to the invitation of the housekeeper came out, we followed the housekeeper to the middle hall, Uncle Wei Zihan was not in the house, the housekeeper asked the next person to bring me tea, Lao Liu father and son stood next to me, the gift was also placed there, I said to the housekeeper: "This is the gift I brought to Lord Wei, please accept it." ”

After I finished speaking, Lao Liu took out the gift slip and handed it to the housekeeper, who looked at it and said, "Lord Lan later, the master is changing clothes in the back, and today Mrs. and Miss are also coming back, probably talking to the master, and they will come out in a while." ”

I said, "It's okay, butler, you're busy, I'll just wait here." ”

The housekeeper asked the two family members to go to the back hall with the gifts, I think it was probably to report back to Lord Wei, and I was not in a hurry, since I came, I had to stabilize, Lord Wei was still a person who was afraid of his wife, as long as Mrs. Wei spoke, Zihan and I would be almost the same.

After another tea time, Wei Da appeared in the lobby, I first saluted as a junior, Uncle Wei Zihan had a good face, and seemed to be very satisfied with my gift.

Said to me: "Lord Lan has been waiting for a long time, the old man has something to do in the back, that is, to discuss with Mrs. about your marriage, speaking of which, you are also young and promising, Mrs. and I are very satisfied, I invite you to come today, but also because the old man has never seen you, so it is good for everyone to meet, I am such a precious niece, and I have been waiting for my own life, so we are very cautious." ”

I had to be respectful to the future father-in-law, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Lord Wei has bothered, I have long wanted to visit, and I have been working in the palace on an errand, so I can't spare time, this time Lord Meng Wei is in love, I came back early in the morning to prepare, but the gift is very light, and I don't know what Lord Wei and Mrs. Wei like." ”

"Lord Lan is polite, don't bring any gifts in the future, I don't lack anything here, as long as I treat my niece better in the future."

"That is, I will definitely take good care of Miss Wei, please rest assured that my lord and Mrs.

Uncle Wei Zihan's words changed: "I heard that you have a good relationship with Zhang Juzheng Zhang, but I don't know what the relationship is." ”

I didn't expect Uncle Wei Zihan to ask so directly, it seems that my cheap father said a lot of good things to me in front of him, and I can just use this relationship to settle the relationship between Wei Zihan and me.

"Lord Wei, in fact, I have nothing to do with Lord Zhang, I was wrongly loved by Lord Zhang, and my several promotions were guaranteed by Lord Zhang in front of the emperor, so the younger generation is also grateful to Lord Zhang for his support, and went to Lord Zhang's mansion."

Uncle Wei Zihan pondered for a while and said: "You are not in the officialdom very clearly, now Xu Ge is going to return to his hometown, Master Zhang may become the second assistant, you have this relationship, the future is worry-free, you have to seize the opportunity, you have to go up, the old man can also worry about the future, our two families are just such a child, I have another request, you have to agree, I will make the decision tonight to finalize your marriage." ”

"If Lord Wei has any requests, just mention it, there is nothing that the juniors can't agree to."

"Here's the thing, I also said just now, our side has always been very thin, so we discussed, after you get married, the first male will follow his mother's surname Wei, inherit my and my brother's family business, you can marry a concubine, how about it, do you think we can make it so, if you think it's not good, then forget it."

As soon as I heard that it was this, what was this, what was the surname was not important, anyway, it was my child, and it was a good thing to inherit their inheritance, so I quickly stood up and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Wei, I agreed to this request,"

Uncle Wei Zihan stood up excitedly when he saw me and said, "Okay, don't be nervous, sit down, then we are also a family, just order, and the housekeeper will serve the food." ”

Here we will talk about things, the housekeeper over there will direct the family to serve the food, and I will also chat with Uncle Wei Zihan about some officialdom fun, and suddenly I remembered that the letter from Liu County's order last time had not yet been brought, so he said to Uncle Wei Zihan: "Lord Wei, a friend of mine sent you another letter, I forgot to bring it." ”

Uncle Wei Zihan put down the tea bowl he was holding and asked, "Friends there, what kind of letter?" ”

"That's right, I have a friend from Laoshan, and I also know Miss Wei and Mrs., I heard that I have come to the house, when he passed by Shouguang, Shouguang Liu County ordered him to bring you a letter, and my friend was in a hurry because of something. I didn't have time to send it to you, so I asked me to send it to you when I have time, I forgot about it this time, but my friend said that it was Liu County Commander who wanted you to help transfer to the capital, uncle, how to deal with this matter. ”

"Ao, this Liu County Order, it's still good, I take good care of my brother's family, he must help, so let's do it, next month is Jingcha, there are many officials to be investigated, I'll see if I find a suitable position for him, transfer to the capital, don't call me Lord Wei in the future, it's more cordial to call my uncle, and let people come to the dowry tomorrow."

As soon as I heard that I was going to give a dowry tomorrow, I quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, uncle, for making it happen, and the dowry will be delivered tomorrow." ”

This time, Uncle Wei Zihan's father helped me up: "Okay, don't do this big gift, the wine and food are ready, just the two of us, drink a little more." ”

The first time I came to drink, I didn't dare to drink more.

After eating, tell Uncle Wei Zihan, Lao Liu and I explained while walking, the dowry should be rich, don't let people say that we are shabby.

"Young master, don't worry, I guarantee that you are satisfied, but you have to find a matchmaker for this matter, you can't get married without a matchmaker, you see whether to find a matchmaker or an acquaintance."

"Brother Liu, look at it, I don't know how to do this, don't save the money you should spend, I'll give you the silver tomorrow, and you go back and calculate how much you need."

When I got home, I couldn't suppress my excitement, and for the first time, I had insomnia and didn't sleep well all night.
