Chapter 962: Angry
When Xie Pu returned home in the evening, Wen reported to him the results of the eight characters, and Xie Yingrong went to the main courtyard to ask for peace.
There was no need for her to speak, Xie Pu and the Wen family also knew that this girl had learned the news from Aunt Dajin, and hurried to urge her parents to agree to the proposal of the Wan family.
Wen could only wait for her husband to make a decision with a dignified smile, but Xie Pu felt very awkward in his heart. This kind of girl who hates to marry and hates for more than a quarter of an hour is really heart-wrenching! Sure enough, get married early, worry about it early! Otherwise, if you leave someone at home for more than a year, you don't know how much you have to listen to her and how angry you will be!
Xie Pu almost shouted loudly and drove Xie Yingrong out of the upper room, Wen had to signal Aunt Dajin, who was lying on the side of the door nervously watching, to quickly send the child back to the courtyard, and she said all the good things to appease Xie Pu. In the end, although Xie Pu was discouraged, he still made up his mind, and asked his wife to reply to Mrs. Wan tomorrow, promise the family matter, and then prepare a dowry for Xie Yingrong as soon as possible. When the eldest daughter and the second daughter get married, the third daughter will be sent away as soon as possible, and there is no need to wait a few more months. Since Xie Yingrong is bent on marrying earlier, why did he forcibly keep people? If you can keep people, you can't keep your heart. He has this leisure ambition, he might as well care more about his other daughters!
Wen also said by the way Xie Mulin's various suggestions on the way for Wan Long and Xie Yingrong to separate after marriage, although Xie Pu felt reasonable, he didn't say anything. He is still angry at this time, even if he admires Bandung and is optimistic about Bandung's future development, he is not sure what it is good to keep Xie Yingrong under his nose.
It is not difficult for Senator Wan to leave Beiping City after the three-year term expires. Over the years, Xie Pu has presided over the overall situation, and the political envoy of Beiping has been harmonious, and there has been no major incident. Senator Wan is not a person who likes to meddle in the affairs of others, perhaps because he was born in the Hou family, most of the time he is an idler with seals, all relying on his bosses, colleagues, and staff brought out from home to guide him in some government affairs tricks.
The ability is not big, but the ambition is not small.
He was forced to go out, and felt that it was easier for him to be promoted in Beiping than in the capital, so he wanted to strive for a promotion here, and then try to transfer back to the capital to serve as a high-ranking official, avoiding the procedure of boiling seniority in the various yamen in the capital. As long as he doesn't have trouble in Beiping, and he has a family in the capital to help, he can easily get a first-class person in the annual evaluation, and when his three-year term expires, he will definitely be promoted. The difference is only whether he is promoted in Beiping, or there is a better shortage waiting for him in the capital. As long as the Pyeongchang Marquis is willing to help, this is really not a difficult task.
In contrast, if Senator Wan is transferred elsewhere after being promoted, it is better to continue to stay in Beiping! At least this place is peaceful, the people in the officialdom are relatively peaceful and simple, there are not so many intrigues, and the Yanwang Mansion can control all the nearby garrisons, and will not cause chaos to the officials below.
However, the Yan Wangfu has the intention to cultivate Wanlong, and plans to send him to the capital to train as an official, hoping that he can make a name for himself in the court and provide assistance to the Yan Wangfu. If Senator Wan's family moves back to the capital after being promoted, and Wan Long also wants to enter Beijing, wouldn't it be a hit? What else is there to mention about the separation? I'm afraid that the Pingchang Marquis Mansion will not agree to a child who has caught the Yanwang Mansion and leave the family independent door!
Therefore, Senator Wan might as well stay in Beiping and continue to be an official. Although he attaches more importance to fame and fortune and is a little snobbish, he is still measured in his actions and will not drag his feet in major matters. Cooperating with such subordinate officials, Xie Pu felt that it would be more worry-free.
In these matters, Wen has always put her husband's wishes first. Xie Pu thought so, she just listened to it, and she would definitely not have the slightest objection, and she planned to go back and tell her daughter this, the latter's idea was not good!
Just when Xie Pu and his wife were talking privately, in the Wanjia Mansion next door, Wan Long finally received the news that his marriage with Miss Xie San was about to be decided!
Mrs. Wan recently received a post from Mrs. Xie's Wen, inviting her to come over for tea the next day. This is clearly to answer the matter of proposing. Mrs. Wan specially asked the girl around her to inquire about the concierge, and learned that Wen asked his staff member Liu Mian to find a well-known person. Judging from the smile on the face of that Master Liu when he returned to the Xie family, and the ease and casualness of the entourage around him when they talked to the other subordinates of the Xie family, the result of the combination of eight characters should be quite satisfactory. Mrs. Wan also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
In the past two days, in the circle of officials in Beiping, there have been rumors that are unfavorable to her. Although because of the funeral of Mr. Zhou, most of the officials and relatives who live on this street live in a simple place, and they either go to Zhou's house to help, or to find relatives and friends, and do not go to other officials' homes very often, but once someone knows about this kind of thing, it will be a matter of time before it spreads. Mrs. Wan couldn't wait a little and wanted to ask the Wen family to come forward and help her ask Princess Yan for marriage. Now she only hopes that the Wen family has not heard the rumors outside for the time being because of the relationship between her children and daughters, and she can ask for help when the two families become in-laws. At that time, even if Wen wants to regret it, it will be too late!
Qiu Yue heard enough news from the mistress, found an excuse to go to the back of the courtyard, and brought the news to Bandung.
She also told Wan Long: "The tokens of the wife's connection are ready, it is a pair of jade butterflies forbidden to walk, the jade quality is okay, but it is not precious, it is only better than the antiquities of the previous dynasty." The wife was reluctant to take out something better to use on the third young master, but she was afraid that the Xie family would be picky, so she took this pair of jade butterflies out. It's just that...... I always felt that something was unlucky......"
Wan Long smiled: "Pairs of jade butterflies, what's unlucky?" You don't have to think about it either. Anyway, the marriage is decided, and I will be able to settle down, and I will always have elders to rely on in the future, and I will no longer have to submit to my wife's orders in everything. With Lord Xie opening his mouth, the master will be cautious in everything, and he will not let his wife do anything. ”
He has another thing to ask Qiu Yue: "Can you ask my sister to help me pay attention to it, the Xie family will combine the eight characters with Miss Xie for me, what is the result?" I've been thinking about it in my heart, and the time when my wife asked someone to meet me before didn't seem to be very real, and even Mrs. Xie didn't believe it......"
What's so hard about that? Qiuyue often follows Mrs. Wan out, and when she goes to Xie's house tomorrow, she will definitely accompany her, and when the time comes, she will prick up her ears and listen carefully, and you will know the answer. If Mrs. Wan doesn't ask, she can also remind Mrs. Wan to speak.
Qiu Yue agreed to Wan Long's request, and Wan Long showed gratitude: "Good sister, I can have today thanks to you." If it weren't for you to deal with me in front of my wife, how could I have a good life today? Sister, don't worry, I have your kindness firmly in my heart! I will repay you in the future, and I will never fail you! ”
Qiu Yue blushed, lowered her head and whispered, "The third young master said this. You are the best and most talented man in the world, and even without my help, my lord and wife will not be able to stop you from getting ahead. I'm waiting for the day when the third young master will soar! After saying that, he turned around and ran.
Wan Long watched her go away, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.
