【Chapter 28】Distinguished guests
"Alas, I've said no," Wei Linyuan couldn't help it, and thought for a while before he said, "Since you have come to your senses, you should take care of it here first." In a few days, though, I'll have to call a few of my men to move you somewhere. I have a friend who owns a small study, and although it is not as comfortable as here, it is still passable. I just have to be wronged that you stay there for a few days. ”
He was accustomed to righteousness, and rarely made such requests, and his voice became lower as he spoke, and his face turned red.
Yu Moji just smiled indifferently, "It won't be worse than the Jiangshan boat." ”
Wei Linyuan was even more embarrassed when he saw her so happy, and blurted out, "You don't even ask the reason?" ”
"Or else?" Yu Mochen said, "The sailor who saved me was sent by you, the house I live in was found by you, and everything you can give is given, why do I have to ask for a reason?" ”
"Very good, Young Master Ben is very moved," Wei Linyuan pretended to wipe his face and said, "I really didn't take care of you in vain." ”
Yu Moji glanced at him jokingly, but he knew in his heart that Wei Linyuan was right.
Whether it was in mourning in the past, or now in Linhai County, the places where Wei Linyuan has taken care of her are really too numerous to mention.
"Actually, that's the case," Wei Linyuan didn't intend to hide it from her, "My future father-in-law got a new position as a patrol, and deliberately made a detour to Linhai, saying that he wanted to come and see me." My father was afraid that I would not be able to get over, so he also said that he would come and greet him in person, and now he has set out from Grief. He glanced at Yu Moji, and explained with a red face, "When the time comes, I'm afraid it's not good for you to be here." ”
Yu Moji's face was as usual, and he nodded, "...... I understand. ”
Although she knew that Wei Linyuan's decision was reasonable, she still felt a little sour in her heart.
It's not that she has any special feelings for Wei Linyuan. Even though Wei Linyuan had helped her a lot, Yu Moji had nothing else but gratitude.
It's just that Wei Yeol's lofty remarks are still in my ears.
Yu Mojin was stimulated by Wei Yeol's remarks, and he did decide to make a career in the study of Yanjia; But at the same time, she was afraid that the little self-esteem that she only cared about was really hurt by the unwarranted speculation in Wei Ye's words.
Now that Wei Linyuan's "good family affair" has been mentioned repeatedly, the indignation that Yu Mochen has forced down in his heart has been stirred up again.
But Yu Moji is not a person who will allow himself to be easily swayed by emotions after all. She raised her head, looked at Wei Linyuan quite firmly, and said, "I'll get better soon." Your father and father-in-law must tell me before they come; I will definitely move out very, very soon. ”
The days of Yu Moji's recuperation in Wei Linyuan's mansion did come to an end soon.
The things in her hut were all prepared by Wei Linyuan, and there was nothing to pack up. Just to avoid people's eyes, she had to pretend to be a subordinate of Wei Linyuan's mansion - this is a role that she can play in her true colors.
When Yu Mochen followed a team of maids dressed in the same costume to the outside of the house, he walked to the gate of the courtyard and suddenly encountered a sedan chair that appeared out of nowhere.
The maids hurriedly ducked to the side and bowed with their eyebrows lowered.
A little guy came in to report the news, Wei Linyuan immediately ran out of the courtyard, stepped forward and said, "I thought that the patrol lord would come the day after tomorrow, it was really a long way to come." ”
The sedan curtain was opened, and a middle-aged man with angry eyes walked out and said coldly, "I'm just stopping by to see my future son-in-law, what's the matter, do you have to report it first?" ”
"Dad," a coquettish voice came from the sedan chair, "don't scare Wei Gongzi." ”
Yu Moji was stunned.
Generally, such a big family, before getting married, usually deliberately avoid the meeting of men and women, in order to seek good luck.
Wei Linyuan obviously didn't expect this to happen, but since he came to Linhai County, he has been doing business for several months on his own, and he has grown a lot and reacted a lot faster.
He immediately stretched out his hand and bowed from afar, his big sleeves could cover his vision, but he took a few steps back without a trace, and said, "It is difficult for my wife to be visited, but my family is not prepared, this is really a loss of hospitality." ”
As he spoke, he secretly glanced around, and saw that the only thing he could summon was the line of maids who were about to go out with Yu Moji, and his heart was about to collapse.
However, Yu Moji did what he said, and his recovery in the past few days has not been slow, and his spirit has improved, and his brain has become much cleaner. Wei Linyuan's eyes swept away, and her mind immediately followed, and she said as if she was in her heart, "What do you have to say?" The slaves and maids went to prepare. ”
Wei Linyuan breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at her gratefully, and said, "Please also ask the inspector to go to the front hall and talk to the small students." As for Miss Fu, can you follow these maids of my family and wait in the side hall? If there is any inconvenience......"
His patrol brother waved his hand and said, "My Fu clan is not one of those small families, so there is no need to hold on to these false courtesies. As he spoke, he turned back and said, "Wan'er, come out." ”
The so-called men and women are not allowed to meet before marriage, which is actually the custom of the Qi people.
The status of Tusu women is even more lowly in comparison, and marrying someone is not much different from being a slave in another place. Seeing or not seeing the newly acquired slaves was naturally not so important to the men of the Tusu tribe.
Yu Mojian's father is from Tusu, so even though she knows that there is such a rule, she also feels that this rule has nothing to do with her, and she has never studied the truth behind it in detail - she doesn't feel that this rule makes sense at all.
Wei Linyuan is not.
Although the Wei family has lived in mourning for a long time, the family's style of action is completely in accordance with the set of "Qi national style bones" respected by the head of the Wei Yuan.
Although Wei Linyuan sometimes laughed at his father's rules in private, after all, he had been exposed to all kinds of old customs for more than ten years, and he had formed a habit of naturally abiding by all kinds of old customs.
Now that his future lady and father-in-law suddenly came to this scene, Wei Linyuan was simply shocked.
Seeing the hesitation on his future son-in-law's face, Lord Inspector said angrily, "You are a dignified man, aren't you as bold as the youngest daughter of my Fu family?" ”
"Hey," Miss Fu's voice in the sedan chair sounded again, "I'm afraid that Master Wei is worried that I will be ugly." ”
She said this, and there was no annoyance in her tone, nor the slightest hint of self-shame, but she could simply say that she was confident. In addition, her voice is also beautiful, delicate but not charming, as clear as the beginning of a light rain.
"My daughter, even if it's a big pockmarked face," the patrol said, "Does anyone dare to repent of marriage?" ”
Wei Linyuan couldn't cry or laugh.
Yu Moji stood on the side and watched, embarrassed for him.
The sedan curtain was lifted, and Miss Fu walked out with grace.
She's certainly not going to be a big pockmarked face.
But she can't be called a beauty.
Yu Mojin peeked a few times, and could see that Miss Fu was two or three years younger than her and Wei Linyuan.
This little girl's face is still a child that has not grown, very thin, flat figure, and her facial features are not exquisite, and she has not been retouched. Even in a small place like Waige, there are many girls and daughters-in-law, at least in terms of skin, who are more in line with the description of "glamorous" than her.
But Miss Fu stood there, and absolutely no one would confuse her with the girl and daughter-in-law in the dilapidated cottage.
Because she has a face that has not been bullied at all.
There is a wonderful sense of relaxation in her body, which is three points of stability and smoothness, three points of self-confidence, one point of innocence, one point of cunning, and one point of clarity.
Behind Miss Fu was her father's palanquin. This sedan chair is not very gorgeous, but it is in the shape of a five-grade or above, and it is clearly printed with Fu's family crest. The identity represented by this sedan chair is one of the sources of her unique sense of relaxation.
The Great Qi Empire was very particular about etiquette and religion, and there were all kinds of customs that emphasized the so-called female virtues. Miss Fu was born as a woman of the Great Qi Empire, so she was naturally at a disadvantage of being bullied by the Rites and Religions.
But she obviously has a father who has the ability and the heart to trample on the unreasonable rules and customs for her.
Yu Mochen guessed that the inspector suddenly came this time, and when he came up, he took his daughter to break an old custom, probably not only to promote his official authority, but also to show his attitude of shaking his husband's family for his daughter.
The Wei family asked the Fu family to marry a girl they had never seen before. Everyone can see that what they really want is actually the father-in-law who has a very high official position and a wide range of powers; So since the Inspector, the father, has already made a statement, and Miss Fu will marry in the future, who will dare to use these rules to oppress her?
The patrol pressed the adult's nostrils to the sky, and he didn't even take Wei Linyuan in his eyes, it was really difficult to make people feel good. But since Yu Mochen understood the intention of guarding his daughter, looking at it at the moment, he actually felt that the father and daughter were still a little cute.
At the same time, her heart was slightly sour.
Yu Moji is a poor person who has to run for her life every day, and the peace represented by the word "relaxation" has never appeared in her more than ten years of life.
In the past, when he was mourning, Yu Moji didn't feel that he was inferior to those big ladies who regarded the martial arts hall as the old temple of the moon. Even though she came from a humble background, since she had no parental discipline and never took marriage seriously, she naturally did not have to be bound by those rules and regulations; Although her life has many sufferings, isn't it much more exciting?
However, the appearance of Miss Fu finally broke the almost self-consoling illusion that Yu Moji had been holding.
The little freedom that Yu Moji thinks she has more, Miss Fu is not absent; And the living environment that Miss Fu has that allows her to be willful and relax, such as Fu's status, such as a wealthy family, such as her father, and the mentality and temperament she has cultivated in this environment, there are no traces of residual ink.
Miss Fu naturally didn't know that among the maids on the side, some people were thinking about so many things in a mess about her; Anyway, in Miss Fu's past life, aren't there too many envious eyes cast on her by others?
She just maintained that peaceful and happy appearance, walked to the side of the patrolman, and bowed to Wei Lin on the other side, and her bright smile bloomed like a begonia, and said, "Wei Gongzi, hello." ”
Yu Moji couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Wei Linyuan, and saw that the familiar face had already revealed a little infatuation that made her feel particularly unfamiliar.
