Chapter VII: Marriage
At night, the Wei Mansion was pitch black, like a curtain.
On this black curtain, a dragon composed of lights walked forward, which was the guiding light.
The lights did not stop until they reached the south courtyard of the Wei Mansion, which was the residence of the Cui family.
The lights in this courtyard were on all night, and the owner of the Wei Mansion, Wei Chengmou, had been here all along. Because Mrs. Cui is jealous, this Wei Sima has no outer room and concubines, and he rests in Cui's room every day.
Just now, the big drama in the house is a children's play, Wei Chengmou is inconvenient to participate, and he doesn't want to participate, he is here alone to be idle.
Now, seeing that Cui's is back, Wei Chengmou held the book and asked casually: "Are you back?" ”
"Hmm."
Cui replied and asked the maid to take off her coat.
Although the nights were cooler than the day, she still felt hot and dry in the summer. After taking off her coat, she felt much more comfortable wearing only a single coat, and then a maid brought hot water and towels. After washing up, she sat down on a crescent stool, looked at the makeup mirror, and began to clean up.
Wei Chengmou casually asked again: "How is the play tonight?" ”
"The big dance of Tianle Fang has grown a little, and I saw that Wei'er also likes it, so I kept them for a few more days." Cui Shi said as she took off the earrings, "It's Wei Jue's ......" she said, she suddenly stopped talking, not knowing what she was thinking.
Wei Chengmou put down the scroll and asked with a puzzled face, "What's the matter, Jiu'er also went?" ”
"Somehow, Vile suddenly said she wanted to see him, so she had to summon him." Cui Shi said, and thought of Wei Jue.
"Oh, that's right." Wei Chengmou bowed his head and said, "Speaking of which, you are also Jue'er's mother, I will look at the monthly routine of Jue'er in the future." ”
Cui's shortened Wei Yuyue's case, and Wei Chengmou also heard about it. But the male protagonist and the female protagonist are inside, and he has already handed over the matter of governing the family to the Cui family, so it is not good to interfere too much. Now that he has found an opportunity, he, as a father, still helped to say something.
Although Wei Chengmou opened his mouth, Cui's did not agree: "Lang Jun, don't worry about the affairs of this family." I also want Wei Jue to have a long memory, lest he leave the house in the future and insult your Wei family's style. ”
Wei Chengmou couldn't talk about such a small truth, and he didn't want to quarrel with her, so he picked up the scroll and continued to read.
After removing the jewelry from his head, Choi walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. She sat alone, thought for a while, and asked, "Lang Jun, what do you think of my niece?" ”
"Cui Lingwei?" Wei Chengmou put down the book, pondered for a moment, and said, "The women of the Cui family are naturally good, but Wei'er seems to be too heroic. ”
"My niece is so good, she just looks too much like my eldest brother, but my father likes her very much." Cui Shi said, and changed his words, "Lang Jun, do you think Xi'er is a good match for her?" ”
When Wei Chengmou heard this, he turned his head and said in surprise: "Lady, Xi'er has already had a marriage contract, what do you mean by talking about this now?" ”
"Xiao Ziyu's daughter, I know." Cui Shi said, standing up, "But that woman is suffering from a leg disease now and can't get out of bed, do you want Xi'er to face such a paralyzed person for the rest of her life?" As she spoke, she walked in front of Wei Chengmou with a menacing attitude.
Xiao Ziyu in Cui's words is the thorn history in this Gusu city, in charge of the political affairs of Suzhou state.
The Xiao family and the Wei family had a marriage contract for their children in their early years, and the Xiao family was a concubine, so Wei Chengmou wanted his own Erlang to go to this marriage. But who would have thought that this Xiao family woman had an accident and fell into the disability of her legs. Cui's felt sorry for her young son, so she naturally didn't want this marriage to happen, and the wishful daughter-in-law in her eyes was a woman like Cui Lingwei.
In front of his wife's forced question, Wei Chengmou still shook his head: "But this marriage contract has been made a long time ago, and I can't withdraw if I say it." ”
He naturally knows Cui's thoughts, but there are thousands of families in the world, but there are only so few first-class surnames. The surname Xiao is one of them, so he doesn't want to offend the Xiao family because of this matter.
"You're afraid of the Xiao family, but I'm not afraid." Cui Shi is also familiar with her husband's heart, she said coldly, "If the woman of his Xiao family is as good as ever, he would be as good as Xi'er, but now that he is like this, he is really wronged Xi'er." You are a father, don't feel sorry for Xi'er, but I'm a mother. In short, you have to give me a refund for this marriage, if you don't go, I'll go to Xiao Mansion myself to say. ”
The Cui family of the Cui family also migrated from the north like the surname Wei, but this Cui is a first-class surname, no different from the Xiao family, so this Cui family is not afraid of the Xiao family at all.
Only his own family knows about his own affairs, and Wei Chengmou is unwilling to withdraw from the marriage, but others don't know. If the Cui family really went to the Xiao family, then the Xiao family would not blame the Cui family, and in the end, the Wei family still had to grudge with the Xiao family because of this.
Therefore, after Wei Chengmou listened to Cui's words, he hurriedly persuaded: "Lady, don't be like this, things won't be like this, let's think of a way." ”
As soon as his voice fell, Cui Shi said: "I also have a way, but I don't know if you want to." It turned out that she was waiting for her husband to come and beg her.
"Lady, please speak."
After speaking, Wei Chengmou sighed secretly, he knew that this time he let his wife get the handle.
"Then I'll say it." Cui Shi said eloquently, "Your Wei family and the Xiao family have made a marriage contract for their children, and they have not said who will marry whom and who will marry whom. The Xiao family doesn't have only one daughter, but his Xiao family wants your Wei Jialang to marry that crippled man. If they can do that, can't you just like them and find a way to marry someone else? ”
Cui's words were not said thoroughly, but Wei Chengmou knew that he was out of the strings: "Do you want Jiu'er to marry that woman?" ”
"Exactly." Cui Shi nodded, "Wei Jue is also surnamed Wei, and he is also your son." In this way, your Wei family will not breach the contract, and Xi'er will not suffer this unwarranted disaster. ”
She said this, but this was not what was in her mind.
She thought of tonight, this was the first time she had seen Wei Jue in many years. In her memory, Wei Jue was still a child, but now seeing this made her feel that things were different. The child will eventually grow up one day, and Wei Jue has grown up at this time.
She sensed this, and suddenly she had this thought.
And Wei Chengmou listened, but he didn't say anything for a long time.
Cui Shi waited for a long time, and finally got impatient, and said again: "Lang Jun, if you are inconvenient to say, then I will say it." This thing was originally an injustice done by his Xiao family, if they were unwilling, they would have withdrawn the marriage contract. At this time, she took away the compelling momentum of Fang Cai.
"I'll say it, but I don't know if Jue'er is willing."
After Wei Chengmou finished speaking, he sighed, not knowing what he thought of.
"Wei Jue is a concubine, and if he can marry the daughter of the Xiao family, it is also a blessing that he cultivated in his previous life, how can he not want to?" Cui Shi smiled and enlightened Wei Chengmou, "Besides, marriage has always been the words of the matchmaker at the behest of his parents, and he can't say much about this matter." If the Xiao family really agrees to this marriage, we will find him a house outside, so as not to treat him badly. ”
Wei Chengmou listened to Cui's words and ended: "The lady arranged it like this, I am relieved." I'll find a chance to talk to the Xiao family about this. It's just that Jue'er is still young and hasn't been crowned yet, and the daughter of the Xiao family is already in her prime, so she is older than Jie'er. ”
Twenty crowns for men and fifteen for women, all of which are rituals for adults.
When Cui Shi heard what he said, he smiled and said: "What's the matter, since he has not been crowned, then choose a day to crown him." As for the woman to be longer, it was even more fine. Lang Jun, have you ever heard a sentence that a female junior holds a gold brick, which is a good thing. ”
Her remarks left Wei Chengmou speechless to say, so he had to nod again, and the matter was settled.
It was late tonight, and when they had finished talking, they went to bed to rest.
It's just that they have different dreams in the same bed, and the two of them are thinking about their own hearts.
