Chapter 22: Proposal
The next day, Qiu Zhengran and his father came to the Wei Mansion early in the morning. With a heavy dowry, they came to propose.
For the father and son of the Qiu family, who rarely visited, Master Wei was a little frightened, he knew that Qiu Dalong had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, it seems that today's things will not be simple.
After exchanging polite greetings, Qiu Dalong went straight to the point.
"My family has fallen in love with your girl, this girl is not your little daughter, it is said that she is a distant relative of your family, the family is gone, and she took refuge in the Wei Mansion, so to speak, then you are her mother's family, is it reasonable for us to ask you to propose marriage to Master Wei? I also hope that Master Wei will respond to this family affair and achieve a marriage, which will also relieve my little lovesickness. ”
When Master Wei heard this, he seemed to be expected but a little sudden, about the Yaxuan Teahouse, he only knew that Qiu Zhengran would come to harass Feng'er, but he didn't know that he actually mentioned it.
Thinking that his child was also going to marry Miss Feng'er, he was a little difficult to control.
"The girl has come to my house for a while, but marriage is a major event in a lifetime, yes or no, I Wei someone really dare not be the master, I have to ask the girl, if she has no idea, I can't ask for it, if I can climb a family business with Master Qiu, it is an honor for my Wei Mansion." Master Wei said.
"In this way, then Master Wei also has to try his best to match this marriage, you and I are tied up in person, and the door is quite good, so it is really a good story in these ten miles and eight towns." Qiu Zhengran said, coughing deliberately.
"I heard that Mr. Wei has been doing a lot of timber business recently, and he is very proud, and the old man has heard a little about this business, and he is also very worried when he hears that Mr. Wei is proud, I don't know why?" Qiu Dalong pretended to probe, but it was really a pain point and a secret trick.
"I'm ashamed, the business is trivial and complicated, and it is difficult to take care of everything, the ticket number and pawnshop business have been losing money year after year, only the timber business is still improving, and it is inevitable that there will be controversy." Master Wei replied with a sigh.
"Oh, it's just that I've heard that Master Wei has been anxious about the timber recently, I wonder if the controversy in Master Wei's mouth is this? I often have people complaining about dissatisfaction, hearing many people disagree, and there are many suspicions of accidents in the bridges and mansions in the neighboring counties and county offices and some surrounding political facilities. Nan, camphor, Zi, and Chun are called the four famous trees, and most of my political facilities use this, Master Wei, you won't be shoddy, right? ”
Qiu Dalong has words in his words, word by word, and there is a lot of sarcasm.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Old Man Wei's face, the meaning of these words was more than the meaning of pressure, of course he understood it.
"Lord Qiu is serious, the contemptible people have been in the timber business for decades, and they have always regarded quality as life, what the adults said, there are indeed complaints about the decay of the wood, and the contemptible people are also investigating the matter."
"Lord Wei knows that the matter of wood is careless, it is a matter of human life, do you say yes or no? If a bridge or house collapses one day, you Wei can't afford to carry such a burden. Qiu Dalong picked up the tea bowl, put it to his mouth but put it down, he looked at Master Wei's slightly swollen red face, and patted Master Wei's hand.
"Recently, my king got a new beautiful woman and gave her the Moon Palace, which is not only a very good location and environment, but also convenient for my king. In order to please the newcomers, it can be regarded as a painstaking effort, not to mention all kinds of rewards, and it was decided to completely renovate the Mochizuki Palace, which shows how much our king loves the newcomers. I know that the golden silk nanmu is very precious, noble and luxurious, which is most in line with the temperament of the Moon Palace, and Master Wei, you have a lot of research on wood, unlike me Qiu someone who only knows the general, so I specially recommended the wood on your house to my brother. ”
Master Wei got up and thanked him again and again, even if he was unwilling to do a hundred things, he knew that things were not easy to do, but he could only accept it: "I, Wei, am not very honored, it is my Wei someone's blessing to be able to share the worries of my king, so glorious, I should do my best, use all my heart, and do this well."
After speaking, he bowed to Qiu Dalong, but he understood very well in his heart: How is this thing good?
