Chapter 18 Marriage under the Moon
Gusu, Suzhou Thorn Mansion, today is the Shangyuan Festival, Wei Chengmou led Cui's **** to visit.
After all, Wei Chengmou couldn't resist Cui's repeated urging, and his trip was to set the marriage of the children of Xiao Wei's two families.
On this night, the moon was full of stars, and Xiao Jing entertained Wei Chengmou in the courtyard.
"On this night of a full moon, Brother Baiji came to the Humble House, presumably with good deeds." Xiao Jing said, handing the tea he had cooked by himself to Wei Chengmou, "Brother Baiji, please." The hundred tricks in his words are Wei Chengmou's words.
The tea sent by Xiao Jing has a refreshing fragrance, and you can tell that this is a rare and good product.
Wei Chengmou is a well-informed person, and when he smelled it, he asked, "Wuyi's red robe?" ”
"There are only one or two sent by the family, and others don't have this blessing, so I specially use it to entertain my future in-laws." Xiao Jing said, he also picked up a small tea bowl, held it in front of him, and took a sip gently.
The price of this Wuyi red robe is more than gold, and this mouthful is probably a family's ration for a year.
Xiao Jing had something to say, and Wei Chengmou naturally heard it, but he didn't say anything, just a small sip.
Putting down the tea bowl, Xiao Jing looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, and said: "Time is like a flash of electricity, Brother Baiji, let's get down to business." ”
As for Wei Chengmou's intention, Xiao Jing had already guessed a few points.
Official affairs are free in public, Wei Chengmou brought his wife to visit this time, naturally it is a private matter, and the biggest private matter of Wei Xiao's two families at the moment is none other than the marriage.
"Ziyu, why worry, there is time tonight, let's enjoy the moon first."
Although Wei Chengmou also wanted to talk about the marriage, he avoided talking about it now.
It's just because what he wants to say is not what Xiao Jing wants to hear.
But Xiao Jing is indeed in a hurry, he knows that the Wei family is already dissatisfied with this marriage, so it is inevitable that he will worry about having long nights and dreams.
"Brother Wei, this is a bad word." Xiao Jing said, lowering his head, "The marriage of this child can't be delayed at all, let's settle this matter quickly, so it's safer." This marriage is not only related to the reputation of the Xiao family, but also closely related to the happiness of his daughter, as a father, how can he not be in a hurry.
Wei Chengmou listened to it and said with a smile: "Ziyu's words are not bad, but the ancients have a saying, saying that good things are more grinding." ”
Xiao Jing heard something strange from this, he thought about it for a while, and said: "Brother Wei, since it is a good thing, then why be so bothered? According to what I see, it is still decided quickly, so as not to worry about the younger generations day and night, do you say yes or no? ”
"What Ziyu said is not bad, not only do you worry about the younger generations, but don't we elders also worry about them." Wei Chengmou said, touching his beard, "Since Ziyu is going to make this marriage tonight, I think it's okay, Wei Jue and Minyue are still a good match." ”
Following Xiao Jing's words, Wei Chengmou finally said what he meant.
And the Min Yue in his words is Xiao Jing's daughter who injured her leg - Xiao Minyue.
Xiao Jing was stunned when he heard this, and stopped talking.
Wei Chengmou was also quiet, silently sipping tea.
After a while, Xiao Jing broke the silence, and he asked tentatively, "Brother Baiji, who is this Wei Jue?" ”
"It's my family's San Lang, who is about the same age as Min Yue, and as far as I can see, the two of them are the most suitable."
Wei Chengmou said with a smile, he also had the intention to promote this marriage.
But after Xiao Jing listened, his face was expressionless.
He thought about it for a while, and asked again: "Brother Wei, maybe I'm lonely and unheard, I know about your eldest and second lang, but I have never heard of this third lang." ”
Wei Chengmou still explained with a smile: "This child is still young and has been kept at home, so not many people know about it. However, his knowledge is still good. In fact, Wei Chengmou himself knows as little about Wei Jue as outsiders, but at this time, he still has to brag about it.
Xiao Jing listened to his explanation, but frowned.
He knew in his heart that Wei Chengmou was unwilling to let his son-in-law marry his daughter, and this sudden appearance of Wei Jue must be a concubine.
Since ancient times, there is a difference, not to mention that the door shade of his Xiao family is much higher than that of the Wei family, so he feels humiliated.
But thinking of his daughter's current situation, he finally suppressed this breath: "Brother Wei, since this is the case, let me think about it for a few days, let's talk about this matter another day." ”
"Of course, of course, that's how it should be."
Now this situation is the best situation Wei Chengmou has imagined, and he naturally will not refuse.
Having said that, both of them were in good spirits, and the moon naturally couldn't go on, so they found an opportunity, and Wei Chengmou took his leave.
After he left, Xiao Jing sat under the moon for a long time.
His wife, Qiao, was in another courtyard before, entertaining Cui.
Now after sending off the Wei family, she came over.
"Lang Jun, how are things going?"
Qiao's soft Wu language brought Xiao Jing back to his senses.
Xiao Jing is a person who values his family, and he also has great respect for this lady.
Now seeing her coming, Xiao Jing got up: "Lady, it's cold at night, let's go back first." "He doesn't want to talk about tonight right now.
Qiao Shi confided with him and speculated: "Lang Jun, but things are not going well?" ”
Seeing what she said, Xiao Jing couldn't hide it, and nodded.
"No." When Qiao Shi saw it, he thought about it for a while, "We just talked about Minyue's marriage, but I didn't hear Mrs. Cui talk about quitting the marriage." ”
"Lady, I think it's wrong." Xiao Ziyu hurriedly explained, "It's not that the Wei family wants to withdraw from the marriage, it's just ......"
He talked and talked, but he didn't know how to continue.
Qiao Shi was anxious, and urged anxiously: "Lang Jun, since the matter is already like this, you can speak up." ”
Xiao Jing listened, so he had to say bluntly: "The Wei family wants someone else to replace Wei Xi and marry our family's Yue'er." As he spoke, he sat down on the ground in a daze, for the first time he had ever encountered such a thing.
"Oh, that's right." After hearing this, Qiao's face softened, "Lang Jun, which son of the Wei family is this time?" ”
She didn't think as much as Xiao Jing thought, as long as this marriage could be completed, she would be at ease.
"Call?" Xiao Ziyu thought for a moment, "Oh, by the way, it's called Wei Jue, and it is said to be as big as Yue'er." ”
"Wei Jue." Joe repeated the sentence and made a note of the name.
Seeing her husband's depressed appearance, she smiled again and said, "Lang Jun, since this is the case, I think we should answer, so we can let them get married as soon as possible." ”
"I said lady, although this is all surnamed Wei, but things are very different." Xiao Jing said, standing up, "He has two sisters-in-law in the Wei family, this is a well-known thing in the world. Now that such a Wei Jue has appeared, this must be a concubine, how can we say that Yue'er is also a concubine, in the end, it is still not a good match! ”
His mind was as he meant it, but Joe's didn't think so.
"Husband, if the Wei family really lets that Wei Xi marry Yue'er, I'm really worried."
Seeing her surprising words, Xiao Jing frowned and asked, "Lady, why do you say this?" ”
"Husband, this is not a good match." Qiao Shi said slowly, "Yue'er is different from others now, choose a weaker husband, and Yue'er will be more comfortable in the future." Her words were full of sadness and deep regret.
After hearing these words, Xiao Jing understood what she meant, and also told her to move.
Sitting down and thinking about it carefully, he felt that such an arrangement was indeed better for his daughter.
"It's still the lady's thoughtfulness, so it's really better."
Now, Xiao Jing thinks about the problem from a different angle, and the humiliation of Fang Cai is gone.
After that, he thought about it carefully, and then said: "It's just that Wei Jue, you and I have never seen each other, so we still have to see each other first, okay?" ”
Qiao Shi agreed with his idea: "Then find an opportunity to invite Wei Jue to your home, so that Yue'er can take a look for herself." ”
As a mother, she always thinks more about her daughter.
"Okay, that's it." Xiao Jing agreed, and then said, "Lady, let's go back, it's really cold." After speaking, he helped Qiao Shi to walk back, and the two husbands and wives followed them back to the room.
There is a bright moon left alone in the courtyard, hanging high above the nine heavens.
