Chapter 256: A Way Out
The wind is thin and the willows are slanting, and the peach blossoms have already bloomed one or two branches.
The shallow grass is fluffy, the warbler is just right, and the anxious people are already thinking about going to Wangchun Mountain to go green.
Wei Yujue and his son Qiao Shutong set to leave for the south on the eighth day of the first month of March, but the Wei family was reluctant to stay, and couldn't help but keep them again and again before leaving.
Wei Yujue smiled: "Although I am reluctant, it has been almost three months since I came back." Now that everyone who should have seen it has seen it, and even more so when I see Yi Mi getting married, it can be regarded as the completion of a wish. As the saying goes, there is no banquet that lasts for thousands of miles to set up a tent, and now it's time to go back. ”
Bao and the others also knew that Wei Yujue was inseparable from the south, so they packed some gifts, prepared carriages and horses, and hurried for several days.
The day before leaving, Wei Yujue spoke in Mrs. Zhu's room and mentioned Wei Yining.
The old lady sighed: "The fifth girl is really a good child, these grandchildren are the only ones who have her and Fu'an to join me, but unfortunately Fu'an died at a young age." Now that she is in front of me, she is careful and thoughtful in everything, and she can be regarded as filial piety for her father. ”
Wei Yujue took over the conversation: "The fifth girl is really painful, I like her as soon as I see her." It's just that there is a sentence that I am afraid should not be said. ”
Mrs. Zhu said, "What can't we say? All you have to do is open your mouth. ”
Wei Yujue smiled and said, "Mother said that the fifth girl is the most filial in front of you, but in fact, she not only does her filial piety for her father, but also benefits us." I am married far away, I can't come back to serve you often, I always feel indebted in my heart, and I will naturally feel much more relieved if there are five girls.
When I think about this, I feel that my previous thoughts were too selfish.
I also looked at the five girls who were really good, and I thought that I didn't have a family in the south, and if she wanted, I could find a good in-law for her in the south.
In the future, she will get married, and our mother will also take care of each other.
But then she can't serve at your knees. ”
Mrs. Zhu snorted when she heard this and said, "How many years do I have to live?" Besides, the girl will marry sooner or later, isn't it possible that she will not marry for the rest of her life if she becomes a servant? Her identity is also embarrassing, if she is in the capital, she is afraid that she will not find a decent person. If you really have this heart, help her plan well. I'm relieved to have you in charge! ”
The old lady took into account that Wei Yining was the daughter of a criminal minister after all, and if she was in the capital, she would inevitably be high or low.
Even if you marry low, if you meet an unreasonable person, you will inevitably be wronged.
It's better to go to the south, with Wei Yujue to take care of her, presumably no one dares to look down on her.
After all, the Qiao family almost single-handedly covers the sky in the south, unlike the Wei family, although they have knighthoods in the capital, they don't have much power.
"Is Mother really willing?" Wei Yujue asked with a smile: "I always feel that doing this is a suspicion of stealing people's love." ”
"I can't be reluctant," Mrs. Zhu sighed and said, "But the more reluctant I am, the more I have to think about her in the future, I am already in the last years of the wind and candle, I take off my shoes and socks tonight, I don't know if I will wear them tomorrow morning." I don't feel at ease entrusting her to others, not to mention that even if others have this heart, they may not have this power. ”
Wei Yujue was relieved when she heard Mrs. Zhu say this, and said, "Since my mother has agreed, then I will call the fifth girl to come over and ask her what she means."
If she wishes, I'll plan for her when she gets to the south. She is still young and not in a hurry, if she doesn't agree, then forget it, she may not be able to find a good marriage in the capital. ”
"What you said is reasonable, so ask her to come over and ask," Mrs. Zhu nodded and said, "Ruyi, you go and invite the fifth girl over, just say that I have something to find her." ”
Ruyi agreed, came to Wei Yining's yard and said that the old lady had something to ask the fifth girl.
Wei Yining was reading under the window at this time, tidied up her appearance a little, and followed Ruyi to Mrs. Zhu's side.
Seeing that Wei Yujue was also there, he asked Mrs. Zhu and her aunt to say goodbye, and then asked, "I don't know what my grandmother told me to do?" ”
Mrs. Zhu and Wei Yujue looked at each other and smiled, and said, "You sit down first, and listen to me tell you slowly." ”
Wei Yining didn't know what was going on, so he had to sit down.
Mrs. Zhu took a sip of tea before she spoke: "Just now your eldest aunt said that she was going back to the south, because she saw that you were good, so she wanted to find you a mother-in-law in the south." Don't be embarrassed, men should get married, women should get married, you will be fourteen years old after the New Year, not too young. ”
"I called you here to ask you what you mean," Wei Yujue continued, "After all, this is your life's work." You said that you want me to help you find it after I go back, and this matter is not in a hurry, it always depends on fate. If you are reluctant to the capital, reluctant to your grandmother, then it is nothing, and staying here may not be a good marriage. ”
Wei Yining listened and knew that the eldest aunt wanted to arrange family affairs for herself in the south.
She didn't open her mouth first, and carefully calculated in her heart: now that she wants to avenge her parents, she naturally can't leave Beijing.
According to his own plan, it will take at least another year or two to complete this matter.
But what about after revenge?
Most of the Wei family is about to fall, where should they go when the time comes?
At that time, if you want to stay in the capital, I am afraid that it will not be suitable.
Going to the south is a different world, and it is better to have Wei Yuyu to take care of it than to be helpless.
After thinking about it, she said: "Yining, thank you for your support, I am willing, but there is one thing: my parents have died less than three years, so I can't talk about marriage during this period, and I have to wait until the filial piety period expires." I only have this one request, and I hope that my aunt will fulfill it. ”
"The fifth girl is really a sensible person, just rely on you, I will take you over in two years, and find a suitable opportunity over there to set up a family first, and then get married in a year and a half." After listening to Wei Yining's words, Wei Yujue was not only not angry but even more pleased, and agreed to her request in one bite.
Wei Yining did not give up her filial piety for three years because her father was guilty, and she did not rush to achieve it because she told her to marry.
is so filial and steady, with more experience in the future, he will definitely be able to achieve things, and he will never embarrass himself.
"Thank you for being so good, auntie." Wei Yining got up to give a salute, and Wei Yujue prepared a way back for her.
With this retreat, Wei Yining will be able to let go and take revenge.
"Silly girl, what are you doing with these kind words?" Wei Yujue smiled and helped her up: "I also think that I am too lonely in the south, the older I get, the more I miss my family, it is more beneficial for me to marry me, I don't have a daughter, you can be my daughter." I won't have to bother you in the future, and if you regret it, it's too late now. ”
Wei Yining laughed, Wei Yujue was joking, of course she could hear it.
Looking at Mrs. Zhu again, Wei Yining couldn't help but look slightly down, she was still really reluctant to give up her grandmother.
Since she entered the Zhiyong Mansion, only the old lady was really good to her.
"Silly child," Mrs. Zhu said with relief when she saw her like this, "you will stay with me for at least two years, and you will not be separated immediately." ”
