Chapter 205: Reputation Matters
"Why? Grandma, this family agreement was already a bad plan, but now it's good, I can't even control the marriage period, this is too angry! Wei Feiyue didn't understand Mrs. Wei's approach very much.
Old Madam Wei looked at the people below, pursed her lips and smiled, then turned around and walked away.
"Grandma! I just can't see them bullying others, bullying us for powerlessness! Wei Feiyue was still indignant, and it was difficult to relax her chest.
Mrs. Wei was on crutches, and the sound of the cane fell, making a dull clicking sound.
She patiently explained and said: "There is no reason to refuse this proposal, Wei Xiaohe and everyone who is a father have agreed, so why should I, my grandmother, join in this fun?" This matter will definitely spread in a boiling tomorrow, so it is better to go with him, so as not to be tongue-in-cheek, and he can also have a good reputation. ”
"But...... So what should Master Wu do? Wei Feiyue rolled her eyes, pinched her throat, and asked Nuonuo.
Mrs. Wei said: "Master Wu, since your mother found it, then let your mother arrange a similar one to send over, why bother making everyone so embarrassed, he is just a rich businessman, in terms of official power, he is not as strong as us." ”
Along the way, Mrs. Wei has been pointing out how Wei Feiyue does things, how to do things, and how to have a perfect ending.
And Zhou Sheng can marry Wei Qingxue, although it is a fact, but whether it is a good ending or not is another matter.
After returning to Jingsi Garden, Wei Feiyue took the initiative to stay and accompany Mrs. Wei to dinner.
The Chen family sneaked out of the General's Mansion and handled Master Wu's affairs properly.
"What do you mean, ma'am? You have collected all the money, and now you say that Wei Qingxue can't be married? Quan De, the butler of the Wu Mansion, squinted his two small eyes and looked Chen up and down.
Chen was stared at by others, as if he was standing naked in front of others without clothes.
"Steward Quan, this matter has already been settled, but who knew that something happened in the middle of the road, Shang Shulang's son came, not to mention that this time our general's mansion is not trying to make money, the main thing is to give the old lady a joy, so that her illness will get better quickly." Chen said methodically.
Quan De, who has a fat head and big ears, hooked a sneer of disdain, and the meat on his body seemed to be squeezed into his stomach, and as soon as he spoke, the fat between his belly understood rhythmically.
Quan De slowly put down the tea cup in his hand and said: "Madam, it's useless for you to tell me these words, the main thing is how our master explains, he is quite satisfied with Wei Qingxue's portrait, isn't it good for you to suddenly rebel?" Your old lady is sick and needs to be happy, but my old man also needs to be happy, and both are not abrupt, they are both for the same purpose. ”
Chen is calm and calm on the surface, but in fact, he has already been beaten in his heart, and this housekeeper seems to be difficult to lobby.
"Harm, isn't it just a woman who meets the eight characters of her birthday? I will be able to find you a beauty who is both a sign and a qualified person, and will be sent directly to the house when the time comes, what do you think? ”
Chen said with a smile, and as he spoke, he took out a tray of gold and pushed it towards Quande.
"Yo, that's embarrassing." Quande accepted the gold without a little weakness, and then played an official tone with the family, "If Mrs. wants to find a person whose birthday matches the eight characters, then it has to be done as soon as possible, our lord is very anxious, so since everyone has changed, then this dowry ......"
Quande's meaning is obvious, since the tanuki is exchanged for the prince and the maid, then this dowry can naturally not be given anymore.
"Naturally, there is no need to give the dowry, the housekeeper of Quande can rest assured, the day after tomorrow, a small sedan chair will be used to carry people into the Wu Mansion, and it will all depend on you how to send it when the time comes." Chan said.
After some conversation, Quande earned a lot of money with a bag of gold, the deposit was coming back, and there was one more beauty to give Master Wu joy, so he returned to Wu's mansion to resume his life.
The Chen family finally sent Quande away, and immediately asked people to find a woman who was in line with the eight characters of her birthday.
Wei Feiyue and Mrs. Wei had a meal, and soon understood what Mrs. Wei meant.
"Go ahead, the bigger the sister in this matter, the better."
"The granddaughter will definitely live up to her grandmother's expectations."
Wei Feiyue left the Jing Si Garden, walked and walked, stopping by a pot of flowers.
The hand, which was as white as ice and snow, gently touched the water droplets on the leaves that had not dried, and slightly moistened the fingertips.
Then, after thinking for a while, she slowly raised her head, her eyes were bright, her eyes were shining, and a sweet smile hung on the corner of her mouth.
Then he walked briskly back to the Golden Jade Pavilion......
On the second day, rumors spread on the small streets of the market that the third master of the General's Mansion Wei Xiaohe was not filial.
The predecessors said that Wei Xiaohe was resolutely unwilling to marry his daughter regardless of Mrs. Wei's body, and it was not until the Zhou family came to propose marriage that he pushed the boat to marry his daughter.
"Wei Xiaohe? Which Wei Xiaohe always pretends to be a master in the casino? A rickety man asked the people next to him who were chattering and discussing.
"Yes, it's him, the third master of the General's Mansion! is not a bad gambler, and has a snobbish eye, that heart and liver are like black and bad, unwilling to save his mother, if it weren't for the Zhou family's door-to-door proposal, it is estimated that the old lady would have been angry to death by now, and I don't want to think about who pulled him up! The Chinese character wrapped in a brown turban shouted loudly, and this body was cross-fleshed, and when he spoke loudly, the meat had to shake with it.
"Phew, if you sell your daughter's things, your mother won't save ......" The rickety man also spat on the ground.
In fact, most of the reason why they are talking about Wei Xiaohe is because Wei Xiaohe won their money in the casino, and the general's mansion is very popular, and whenever there is any trouble, it will become someone else's after-dinner laughing capital.
A scandal like this in a big portal is the most popular topic of conversation, and it will soon become a storm in the city, to the point that everyone knows about it.
Wei Xiyue learned from Zhou Sheng's mouth that all this was Huo Lingxiao's back, so he succeeded.
Then Zhou Sheng's excuse was to invite Huo Lingxiao to his home for a drink and thank him.
Although Wei Xiyue has never been able to figure out this man's thoughts, he has never harmed himself, and has been silently helping himself, which made Huo Lingxiao once again leave a good impression in her mind.
"How's it going?"
"Very good, you are really a god assist this time."
"Xiyue, Qingxue is about to get married, when are you going to find someone you like?" Huo Lingxiao asked in a casual tone, and the corner of his eye never left Wei Xiyue's body.
Wei Xiyue retracted her jaw, lowered her head and played with the agate bracelet in her hand, the light and shadow attached to her curled and upturned eyelashes, and her eyes were gloomy.
"It's still early, my mother's health is not very good, and my younger brother is in the barracks, dragging the family with him, and he likes someone? Forget it. ”
Huo Lingxiao's eyebrows were twisted together, what do you mean That's it, isn't she going to get married? But what girl's family is lonely all her life, at this time, his mind is again cranky.
Liu Shi looked at Wei Xiyue and Huo Lingxiao from a distance, and had already seen through the mutual affection between the two, but Wei Xiyue put a heavy shackle on her heart, and this home was her only concern, which made Liu Shi worry about Wei Xiyue's marriage.
The Mo Ruyu before was a good man, with superb medical skills, and lived a happy life like a fairy like a wild crane.
Although Huo Lingxiao is not much, he has finally returned to the royal family, with Wei Xiyue's temperament, if there is a conflict in the future, I can't tell who will suffer.
Liu Ming has been secretly inspecting Huo Lingxiao for a while, and she is also very satisfied with Huo Lingxiao, without any concubines and ambiguous women, it is also a good choice for Wei Xiyue to throw away her identity.
Xiaohuan was holding the pastry, and when he saw Liu standing there in a quiet daze, he walked over.
Behind her he said, "Madame, what do you see?" Xiaohuan looked in the direction of the Liu family, and saw the backs of Wei Xiyue and Huo Lingxiao.
Liu Shi was startled coldly, his heart beat faster, and he reprimanded in a low voice, "You dead girl, you walk quietly." ”
"Madame, do you also think that the third prince is good?" Xiaohuan asked.
"Xiaohuan, you have been with Xiyue for so long, do you know her and the third prince?"
"The third prince is a good person, he saved Miss in danger three times and twice, and he also helped Miss teach Princess Wen Ke a lesson in the academy, which is relieved." Xiaohuan raised his little head and said proudly.
When Liu heard this, his heart was clear, and then he went with Xiaohuan to prepare for food.
After the meal, Zhou Sheng took the initiative to talk about it, saying that he would complete the marriage according to the custom, and marry Wei Qingxue on an auspicious day of the zodiac, which provoked Wei Xiyue and Wei Liu, like drinking a bowl, sour...... The feast is over......
It was night, the cool breeze was a little, and the surroundings were quiet, only a ray of moonlight sprinkled in......
After a long time, a melody of bamboo leaves sounded in her ears, and there was a familiar smell of grass, Wei Xiyue opened her eyes, the moonlight passed through the window lattice, and she spit out a breath of turbidity, because she drank a little wine, the whole person was full of energy, and her pale face was a little ruddy.
She deftly flew up to the roof, and saw Huo Lingxiao sitting there, holding two bamboo leaves between her fingers.
Huo Lingxiao changed his black robe during the day, and his body was covered with a reddish-purple robe, and his evil and demonic eyes stared at Wei Xiyue tightly.
He said coldly, "Won't you wear shoes when you come out, and then put on one more piece of clothing?" ”
Wei Xiyue blinked, only to realize that she was not wearing shoes, and her little feet as white as jade were exposed, growing on the tiles.
After looking up at Huo Lingxiao, he quickly lowered his head, and a blush appeared on his face.
Huo Lingxiao's deep pupils, the corners of his slender eyes were slightly raised, but they were a little high, and if he looked at them twice, he would be deeply trapped in them.
"I ...... Forget about ......," Wei Xiyue said.
Huo Lingxiao took off his robe and draped it on Wei Xiyue's body, and then carried Wei Xiyue back to the room like a chicken.
