Chapter 452: Ghost Talk
Wei Shouyan looked at Ming Yi's confused appearance, and was even more happy: "Okay, okay, I'll make it clear to you." β
Mingyi poured tea for her and listened attentively.
"You should know a little about my family, my grandfather is in charge of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and he is also the secretary of the household department, and he sounds like a good grade, but he offends many people and greets few people. Yushitai supervised the six departments, and often admonished in front of the saints, although he was praised by the legacy of his ancestor Wei Zheng, but he was also hated by the officials of the six departments. Therefore, my grandfather is just a Hanlin bachelor, and my two brothers are not having a good career. Since I was a child, I have been studying and learning calligraphy with my brother, and I also have general ambitions, but unfortunately I am a daughter, and the only thing I can do is to do something for the family by virtue of marriage. Wei Shouyan was really outspoken.
Mingyi listened to what she said, which was consistent with what she knew before, and knew that she was not lying, and her heart was also shocked, how could she say this to herself from the bottom of her heart and lungs when they met for the first time?
Ming Yi also bluntly expressed his doubts: "If the daughter of the Wei family wants to ask for a son-in-law, there must be many young talents flocking to her, how can she fall in love with Wu Qianping, who has a wife's room?" β
Wei Shouyan continued: "Mingyi doesn't know, my marriage has always been high or low. There are families with family backgrounds and official titles, and they are afraid of the Linghu clan, who is the enemy of my family, how can they marry my family. The scholars who want to climb high are mostly mediocre people, and my grandfather can't look down on them. However, when Wu Qian Pinto came to propose, my grandfather and grandfather discussed it for a long time behind closed doors. Later, he inquired about the divorce between the daughter of the Chinese scholar and him, and it was not his fault, so he mentioned the matter to me. β
Ming Yi nodded: "Yes, he is not the one who abandons the chaff. β
Wei Shouyan hummed: "I looked at his portrait, he was handsome, and he read his articles, he was full of talent, and then asked Grandpa about his political achievements and character, and knew that during his tenure as Shaoyin, he praised him up and down, so he agreed to the marriage." β
Ming Yi is staggering, what this woman considers when choosing a husband is not at all like what a twenty-year-old girl would think, but like a man: "Marriage is decided by yourself, and Shouyan seems to be very favored at home." β
Wei Shouyan said with a smile: "My grandfather and two brothers have soft temperaments, and my grandfather has personally taught me since I was a child and raised me like a grandson. β
"Then you haven't thought about whether you are in love with him, and whether the husband and wife can be harmonious in the future?" Ming Yi wondered, no matter what, a woman like a flower and jade should always have some expectations for love, right?
"What's the matter? No matter how tender and sweet you and I are, after a long time, they are all generally tired, but if we can support each other and become partners who go hand in hand, it will be more solid. Wei Shouyan said disapprerovingly, "So, if he is pleasing to you and has frequent contact with you, and I appreciate you, wouldn't it be great?" β
Mingyi just wants to hehe, this is really an open marriage. But more than this, she wants to know more about the factional disputes in the court.
"Wu Qianping is just a little young Yin, and he has no illustrious family background, are you really sure he can help you with the lintel?"
Wei Shouyan nodded: "There is the Cui clan behind him, and there will be my Wei clan next to him in the future, even if it is Linghu, he can't do anything to him at will." Although the Cui clan is prominent, he is arrogant, and although the saint has to promote his descendants, it will not make his henchmen more powerful. And Wu Qianping married me, and with the gold medal of the upright and outspoken Wei family, he can get rid of the four words of Cui's protΓ©gΓ© in front of the saint, and his career will be smooth. β
"Since the Wei clan has many enemies, why are you sure that Wu Qianping will not be the same as Brother Lingzun?" Mingyi simply asked.
Wei Shouyan glanced at her: "This, you should know better than me." β
Ming Yi thought about it, too, he should have known better, after all, he was a person who had been friends with Wu Qianping for ten years. Even if it is not Feng Mingyi, as herself, after more than half a year of dating with Wu Qianping, it is clear that he is the most suitable person for officialdom, with strong ability, full of ambition, extremely cautious, good at forbearance, and even better at creating an official reputation, as long as he is given appropriate assistance, he will soar to the sky.
Ming Yi smiled lightly: "Shou Yan has a good vision, he will definitely be able to regain the glory of your Wei clan." β
Wei Shouyan responded: "I had a long talk with him two days ago, and he told me about his ambitions, and I admired his directness and did not use those ridiculous means to deceive my trust. He also explained his friendship with you, saying that you are his most important companion, and that I hope I can help you succeed. β
Ming Yi really admires Wu Qianping, and he can persuade his wife to help his "lover" career, I am afraid that he is a person through the ages: "Yes, Chengwei Pavilion has become a climate, which will definitely help him a lot in his career." β
"At first, I was skeptical, but when I saw you and Chengweige, I had no doubts. Now our purpose is the same, for Wu Qianping to soar into the sky, I can shine on the lintel, you can also enjoy wealth and protection, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and it should become a good friend. Wei Shouyan said, raising the glass cup in his hand.
Mingyi raised his glass, exchanged glasses with her, drank them all, and didn't say a word.
This unreasonable Wei Shouyan really messed up the rules, but now it seems that she has decided that she is Wu Qianping's lover, and opening this Chengwei Pavilion is to collect news for Wu Qianping, which is beneficial to her career. So, she came forward in the main room and said, I don't mind if you two are in love with each other, as long as you are content to be a lover, he will work hard for me to climb up. For this reason, I am willing to be sisters with you and do not interfere with each other.
The words on Mingyi's lips were swallowed raw. She wanted to explain that she had a sweetheart, and she and Wu Qianping were purely using each other, and there was no personal relationship between men and women. At least not on my own. Never fight her for that man. But now that it's meaningless, Wei Shouyan not only won't believe it, but will feel that she is a false person, and destroy the balance designed by Wu Qianping. Forget it, I'll suffer this dumb loss myself.
"Shouyan, if you marry him just for the sake of the family, wouldn't it be a pity if you meet someone who makes your heart flutter one day?" Ming Yi inexplicably felt a little sorry for this Wei Shouyan, who forgot that he was also a woman in order to glorify his ancestors.
Wei Shouyan blinked, and there was no difficulty: "If I meet a man I like, I can communicate with him privately, even if Qianping knows, he won't blame me." β
Ming Yi suddenly felt that this child was a little naΓ―ve, and he was not as mature and wise as he appeared to be: "This is also what Wu Qianping told you?" β
"Well, he said that as long as the two of us are good husband and wife on the surface, and each of us doesn't interfere much, I think that's the best." Wei Shouyan seemed to be very satisfied with Wu Qianping's suggestion.
Mingyi wanted to mention her: "Women are easy to fall in love with each other for a long time, if you really love Wu Qianping one day, but he doesn't respond, you will be sad." β
Wei Shouyan was determined: "I will never be tempted by him, knowing that he has a heart." He told me that no matter how many rumors there were, he would not break off his friendship with you, and if I minded, he could withdraw from you. How could I be tempted by him again, isn't that self-deprecation? β
Ming Yi almost dropped the glass cup in his hand, what kind of nonsense did Wu Qianping say! 2k reading web
