Just when Wei Tongnian was about to say yes, a coquettish voice came from the door, and a bright figure walked in, followed by a pretty girl in a maid's costume behind her.

I saw a delicate and vulgar girl walk in, she was wearing a tender yellow shirt, her skin was brighter than snow, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, her appearance was extremely beautiful, she was really like a pearl and faint, the beautiful jade was shining, and there was a faint breath of book between her eyebrows.

Such a stunning beauty even stunned Yan Benge, who had reached the year of the Mandate of Heaven, for a moment, let alone Yan Zheng, who was upright and strong.

I saw Wei Manyao slowly walking to Wei Tongnian's seat, and unhurriedly saluted Wei Tongnian and Yan Benge, and Sakura said lightly: "Manyao has seen my father, I have seen this old man!" ”

Wei Tongnian saw his daughter suddenly break in, he was naturally not very happy and just snorted lightly, and Yan Benge, who was sitting next to him, was different, Wei Manyao stood in front of him like this, and a jade bone ice muscle, demure and dignified temperament rushed towards him, making people know at a glance that this girl was not only beautiful and moving, but also a smart and virtuous woman.

Such a strange woman can be fortunate to be her granddaughter-in-law, how can Yan Benge not be happy in his heart, I saw him smile and said: "Virtuous niece doesn't need to be polite, old man Yan Benge, and your father is a close friend, this time the old man took the liberty to come but it seemed a little abrupt, don't be surprised by the virtuous niece." ”

In the face of Yan Benge's praise, Wei Manyao just smiled faintly, and then turned her face to Yan Zheng, who was standing behind Yan Benge, and said generously: "This must be Yan Gongzi who came to the Mansion with Master Yan as a guest, right?" ”

Yan Zheng saw the demure and elegant girl in front of him, like Xichuan Zigu, his heart was already rippling, and the arrogance in his heart had long since disappeared, and at this moment, he stood stupidly for a while like a first brother in love before saying: "No, it's Yan Zheng, I don't dare to ask Miss Lao Wei." ”

"Ahem!" Seeing his grandson's dejected appearance, Yan Benge had no choice but to cough as a reminder, and then laughed.

"Hahaha, Lord Wei, I didn't expect you to give birth to a good daughter, Ling Yan is beautiful and wise, gentle and soft, she is really a rare girl."

Wei Tongnian's life is the most proud of this daughter, although she was tickled at the moment, she still said modestly: "Where, Lord Yan smiled, the little girl's surname is stubborn and her appearance is unbearable, so that my father is broken." ”

Yan Benge said with a smile: "Lord Wei is too modest, if Ling Yan is also unattractive, then there will be no more beauties in this world, but Lord Wei, Ling Yan is already twenty-eight years old this year, I don't know how you think about the proposal of the right old man?" ”

Seeing Wei Manyao's appearance and talent, she was one in a million beautiful women standing in front of her, Yan Benge was more resolute in choosing Wei Manyao as his granddaughter-in-law, if she missed it, she would regret it for the rest of her life, so she didn't care about being rude or not, and mentioned it when she opened her mouth.

But without waiting for Wei Tongnian to answer, Wei Manyao, who was originally standing next to Wei Tongnian, stood up and said to Yan Benge, and said: "Elder Yan's words have also been heard, if Manyao is not mistaken, Boss Yan wants to ask his father for Yan Gongzi, isn't it?" ”

"This" Yan Benge was stunned for a moment, as soon as the average girl's family heard her parents talk about her life's events, which one of them was not so ashamed to turn her head and run, it was already good to be able to stand and listen to the elders on the spot, like Wei Manyao, who not only stood behind her father and listened casually, but also asked on the spot without scruples.

Wei Manyao's words continued: "The right talent Manyao heard that Boss Yan was going to ask his father for marriage, and Manyao was very honored, but there was something that Manyao wanted to tell Boss Yan that Manyao already had a sweetheart and agreed to stay for life, so the kindness of Boss Yan and Gongzi Yan could only be understood." ”

"Bang" Wei Tongnian couldn't help but shoot the case anymore, and roared angrily: "Evil animal! What kind of bastard are you talking about, are you really going to die for your father? ”

Facing Wei Tongnian's anger, Wei Manyao's eyes suddenly turned red, but she still shook her silver teeth and said: "Father, please calm your anger, my daughter has already told my father and daughter's thoughts, but why do you take your daughter's words as a deaf ear, if your daughter doesn't come today, will you marry your daughter?" ”

"You" Wei Tong stood up and raised his hand to fight.

Wei Manyao closed her eyes and raised her pretty face to let Wei Tongnian beat him down, Yan Benge couldn't see it well, if he really let Wei Tongnian beat Wei Manyao in front of him, how could he still have the face to continue to propose, so he hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Wei Tongnian.

"Lord Wei, Lord Wei, you can dissipate your anger, you are willing to fight such a lotus and wise daughter." Although Yan Benge was frightened by Wei Manyao's astonishing words just now, he was used to dealing with businessmen, but he appreciated Wei Manyao's down-to-earth temperament and daring style more, so he couldn't take care of it and opened his mouth to plead.

Yan Zheng on the side also hurriedly stood up and said boldly: "Yes, Lord Wei, Miss Wei is just confused for a while, you have to be merciful." ”

Seeing that the grandfather and grandson of the Yan family wanted to intercede by themselves, Wei Tongnian, who had never touched a finger of his daughter since he was a child, had no choice but to take this opportunity to go downhill on the donkey, and took the opportunity to point at Wei Manyao and shouted: "You still don't want to go back to your boudoir for your father." ”

Wei Manyao still stood proudly on the spot and wanted to say something, but Qiao'er, who had been frightened earlier, pulled her hand hard to drag out.

Just when everyone was in a hurry, a servant reported outside: "Lord Qiyu, the huge man has sent someone and is asking to see him outside the palace gate at this moment!" ”

"Huge people? Which huge man? Wei Tongnian, who was still dizzy for a while, asked in a daze.

Although the servant was a little puzzled, he still replied: "What other huge person is it, it is General Dingyuan's huge person!" ”

"What, is he? He's already back? ”

As soon as General Dingyuan's words came into his ears, everyone in the hall was shocked, but everyone's reactions were different, some were angry, some were frightened, and some were happy, and for a while, the Qing Dynasty miraculously calmed down.

After a while, a crisp voice rang out: "Hurry up, please!" ”

"Yes!" The servant answered, and the footsteps faded away.

There was silence in the hall, and after a while, Yan Benge asked: "Lord Wei, I think General Dingyuan must have a good relationship with you, he sent someone to see you as soon as he came back." ”

Wei Tongnian's originally white face turned purple at the moment, good boy, it's not enough to make eyebrows with my daughter, and now he dares to send someone to block the old man, it's too bullying.

Because he was in a bad mood, he said impatiently after hearing Yan Benge's words: "Hmph, it's just a general acquaintance." ”

"Oh, I see." Hearing Wei Tongnian's words, Yan Benge's grandfather and grandson relaxed slightly, and since everyone had their own concerns, everyone was silent in the hall.

After a while, a sound of footsteps came from the front, and soon, a young officer wearing a hundred household costumes and a dusty face appeared in front of everyone, he knelt down on one knee and saluted Wei Tongnian and said loudly: "Cheng Kai has seen Lord Wei and Miss Wei. ”

"Get up!"

"Hurry up, please!"

The voices of the Wei family's father and daughter rang out at the same time, and the two of them looked at each other and then looked away.

Wei Manyao's slightly nervous voice sounded, "Cheng Baihu, did the huge people go well during the Korean War?" Where is he now? ”

Cheng Kai smiled and said: "Miss Wei, please rest assured, the huge people in North Korea beat the Tartars to the point that they lost their armor and fled, and they have already returned to the DPRK, and they have just disembarked at this moment. ”

After Cheng Kai finished speaking, he took out a gift slip from his arms and handed it to Wei Manyao respectfully.

Cheng Kai is Pang Gang's personal captain, and he still knows a little about Pang Gang and Wei Manyao, so his attitude towards Wei Manyao is also very respectful, and he doesn't dare to slack off.

Wei Manyao was about to take the gift list subconsciously, and suddenly realized that there were others beside her, so she took two steps back with some embarrassment and looked at her father.

Wei Tongnian snorted coldly, his eyes gestured to the servant next to him, and then said, "Read!" The servant took the gift list knowingly, glanced at it, and read it in frustration.

"Pang Gang, the commander of Qingzhou, hereby sends: 50,000 taels of silver, 500 taels of gold, 500 catties of Korean ginseng, 10 pairs of pearls, and a load of fur"

The servants read out one item at a time, but everyone was stunned, Yan Benge's grandfather and grandson's initial idea was that they dared to love this guy who went to North Korea and made a fortune, and even gave the prefect such a heavy gift, and even the ginseng and fur were sent baskets and baskets. But then the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, no, even if he went to North Korea to make a fortune, he couldn't afford to be so on the pole to tie up Wei Tongnian, and such a generous gift was enough to bribe the princes and nobles in the capital, and he was guilty of bribing him with a small prefect.

Unlike Yan Benge's grandson, this gift list has a completely different taste in the ears of Wei Tong's father and daughter. In their ears, this is an ordinary gift list, this is clearly a dowry for courtship!

Wei Manyao, who was flushed with shame, saw the suspicious eyes of Yan Benge and Yan Zheng, and longed for a crack on the ground for her to get into, but her heart was shy and sweet, this guy really did it, he was worthy of being the person he fancied, and he drove the Manchu Tartars out of North Korea so quickly.

In the end, Yan Zheng, the young man, couldn't hold his breath and spoke, and he asked: "Lord Wei, didn't you just say that you don't have much to do with General Dingyuan, why not?"
