Chapter 141: Wei Ji is good
Wang Chunrong and Dao Wufeng went to the wing room to rest, and Lan Yi and Zheng coaxed the two children to sleep. Lan Yi asked directly: "Mother, my father said in front of the old lady today that he had made a family appointment for his daughter, what is going on?" ”
Zheng Shi was also at a loss, "I'm confused about your father's plan, I'm afraid that he doesn't want you to marry a member of the Wang family according to the old lady's wishes, so he said casually, let's go, let's go and ask your father what he means." ”
Lan Yi and Zheng went to the east room, Wang Chengde was sitting by the kang and waiting, and smiled slightly when he saw them come in, "I have long known that you two can't sink." ”
"Peach's lifelong event, how do you want me to calm down, her father, what do you think?" Zheng pulled Lan Yi to sit on the kang and asked directly.
Wang Chengde looked at Lan Yi and asked directly: "Tao'er, your mother told me about you and Zhou Weiji, what are your plans now?" ”
In this era, marriage is mostly blind marriage and dumb marriage, all rely on the parents, many people know that when they get married, they will see people who are going to live a lifetime. Lan Yi didn't expect Wang Chengde to ask her daughter's opinion like this, which made her both happy and moved, "My daughter has known Brother Tuesday for more than a year, and I also know him very well about his personality, and my daughter feels that he is a trustworthy and reliable person." ”
Zheng listened to his daughter's bold remarks, and reached out to tap her forehead, "Shameless dead girl!" It's really a woman's big mistake! ”
Lan Yi also blushed a little, her remarks can be said to be very bold in this era, but Wang Chengde said: "Marriage is a lifelong thing, and it is natural for her daughter to be satisfied." Zhou Weiji is a good one, if he can treat you wholeheartedly, it is indeed a good destination. In the past few days, your brother and I have observed him many times, and found that although he is a martial artist, he is coarse and meticulous, and he is thoughtful. ”
Zhou Weiji has not been idle these days, and after he inquired about Wang Linshan's affairs, he and Wang Chunrong visited the traces of the night detectives. He has been at the border for many years, and he has been arresting fast for so long, and he still has a very good set of investigating cases, and Wang Chunrong admires him very much.
After finding out that it was Han Xuepu, the fifth elder of the Han family, who beat Wang Linshan back then, Zhou Weiji spent a few pennies to hire a few beggars to follow Han Xuepu, and found out that he had hooked up with a married woman in the past few days. Zhou Weiji thought of leading the woman's husband home and breaking his wife Hongxing out of the wall, Han Xuepu naturally wouldn't take the family with him, but he was beaten by the woman's husband and thrown on the street, completely losing face.
The woman's husband still has some doorways, and he is not afraid of the power of the Han family, and after beating Han Xuepu, he sued him to the yamen, and after the Han family spent a lot of money to settle the matter, the old man Han severely punished Han Xuepu, and I heard that he used the family law to beat him so that he couldn't get out of bed. Han Xuepu lost face in front of everyone, so naturally he didn't dare to go out again, and Zhou Weiji could be regarded as venting his anger for Wang Linshan.
Wang Chunrong naturally did not tell his sister about these things, but told his father. Wang Chengde is experienced and discerning, and can see that Zhou Weiji is indeed a man who can come, and he is more suitable for his daughter than Dao Wufeng. It's just that his home is far away in Huang County, and it is really far away from Mei County.
But her daughter has done such a big business in Huang County, and it is naturally not safe to go back, if she wants to go back to Huang County, marrying Zhou Weiji is also a good choice.
"His father, Zhou Bantou is good, but after all, he is a fast catcher, but a cheap person, our daughter married him, don't you still have to be wronged, we finally begged the old lady to take off her slave status." Zheng is still most worried about this.
Wang Chengde said nonchalantly, "How can there be a solution in the future, but it really doesn't work, it's just to buy a household registration with some silver, it's not a big deal." Besides, although Wei Ji is a fast catcher now, with his ability and heart, he will develop greatly in the future, and his daughter is now the right time to follow him. ”
Although the household registration is a strict thing, ordinary people can't fake it, but Wang Chengde has a lot of contact with the affairs of the government, and it is not difficult to understand that it is not difficult to change the household registration.
Moreover, Zhou Weiji's family has a simple population, he also really loves Wenxuan and Yu'er, and he also knows very well about his daughter's affairs in Huangxian for more than a year, and he will not look down on his daughter because the child and her have been a widow for more than a year, thinking that she has lost her woman's morality, and her daughter will not be wronged if she marries him, which is also very important.
As for Wang Shaoyan, the second son of the Wang family, Wang Chengde is not worried about his daughter marrying him, and it is precisely because of the above reasons. The daughter has not seen him visit for a few days after she came back, whether it is because he does not want to come, or because his parents have locked him up and forbade him to come, which is a hidden danger.
There is also Dao Wufeng, although he did not speak, Wang Chengde and his wife can also see that he also cares a little about Lan Yi. Wang Chengde originally liked him, but compared with Zhou Weiji, Wang Chengde naturally felt that Zhou Weiji was more suitable, and the key was that his daughter liked it.
"Tao'er, tomorrow after the old lady recognizes you as a righteous daughter, I will ask your brother to come back with Wei Ji in the evening, let's talk about your affairs, the sooner the better." Wang Chengde said, first, he said it in front of the old lady after all, and second, after his daughter came back, there would naturally be rumors and rumors, and now while there are few people who know, he will be engaged to his daughter first, so as to save her daughter from spreading these words and making her daughter sad.
Lan Yi was a little stunned, she thought that it would take a lot of words to persuade Wang Chengde and his wife to agree to the matter between her and Zhou Weiji, but she didn't expect it to be so smooth, this is considered to be done, and she will be married tomorrow night?
Even if the old lady was willing to entrust Wenxuan to her last week, today can be regarded as a double happiness.
"Listen to Daddy."
On the second day, Mrs. Zhou held a banquet and invited several elders of the second and third rooms and the Wang family to watch the ceremony, and recognized Lan Yi as a righteous daughter.
The ceremony was very simple and solemn, and after Lan Yi gave Mrs. Zhou three kowtows to tea, she changed her name to Mrs. Zhou "mother".
Mrs. Zhou recognized her daughter, and Lan Yi also gave a salute to several elders of the Wang family, and everyone knew that it was a critical time.
Old Madam Zhou coughed lightly and said: "The old woman's body has become more and more useless recently, from now on, there is Tao'er, an aunt, she and Wen Xuan are like mother and son, and with her taking care of Wen Xuan, I can also rest assured." ”
When everyone in the Wang family heard that she really planned to do so, they were silent. Several elders of the Wang family frowned and did not speak, and they all looked at the patriarch Wang Ge'an. Wang Ge'an is the first of the sons of the Gezi generation, and his temperament is quite upright.
Wang Ge'an, who was in his fifties, listened to Mrs. Zhou's words, stroked his long white beard and said, "Brother and sister, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate." After all, Wang Chuntao was born as a descendant of the Wang family, Wen Xuan is the son of our Wang family, and when he grows up, he will have to take on the heavy responsibility of your room, and it is really inappropriate to teach Wen Xuan to her, so that people will laugh at our Wang family when they hear it. ”
Several old people in the clan nodded, and the third old man, Wang Gezhi, also nodded: "Sister-in-law, Wen Xuan still has my uncle and grandfather, how can I rest assured that Wen Xuan will be taught to the maid who grew up in the family." Chun Tao has worked hard in the past two years, but we are one thing, which is really inappropriate. ”
Old Madam Zhou took a breath and said confidently: "I am Wen Xuan's grandmother, how can I harm him?" You are only afraid of being laughed at, and you only say that it is not appropriate, so how can you not be laughed at, and it is appropriate? Is there a rule in the clan that a grandmother can't decide how to raise her grandchildren? ”
Wang Ge'an grabbed his beard, there is no such rule in the clan, but it is really inconsistent with etiquette for the Zhou family to do this, he glanced at Wang Mingli, Wang Mingli came to him yesterday, and wanted to take on the responsibility of taking care of Wenxuan and raise him to grow up.
It is said that Wang Mingli is Wenxuan's second uncle, and he is more suitable than Wang Chuntao.
Wang Mingli took two steps forward from behind his clan and bowed his hand: "All the elders know that after the death of my parents, my uncle and aunt raised me, and his two elders rebuilt me for my kindness. Mingli has always treated them as filial piety as his biological parents, and he also loves Wenxuan very much. Although I don't have as much affection as Chun Tao and Wen Xuan now, I believe that my ability will definitely be able to bring Wen Xuan well, raise him to adulthood, and repay my uncle and aunt for their nurturing kindness to Ming Li. The aunt refused to entrust Wenxuan to her nephew, but taught Chun Tao to a maid, can't she trust her nephew? ”
Wang Mingli said sincerely, and his face was also real and frank, making others think that he was sincere. Mrs. Zhou hated him from the bottom of her heart when she saw him like this, this year's more than a year, how Wang Mingli treated her, and how she took care of the big house, Mrs. Zhou knew it, and several old people in the surrounding clan had also heard of it. But these people all know that Wang Mingli is now powerful, and he is still the son-in-law of the magistrate, so it is naturally no good to offend him.
Wang Ge'an nodded, "Mingli is polite, brother and sister, what do you think?" ”
Old Madam Zhou sneered, looked directly into Wang Mingli's eyes and said, "The second master said this, I don't dare to be an old woman." There is still Wen Ting on the second master's side, and Wen Ting only robbed Wen Xuan's things in the garden the day before yesterday, and beat Yu'er with his servants. There is such a brother in your room, I am afraid that Wen Xuan will be bullied in the past. ”
Wang Mingli apologized with a ashamed face, "Aunt, it's because of the nephew's lack of education that Wen Ting has such a domineering character." His nephew had punished him severely. ”
Old Madam Zhou grabbed his words and said, "Since the second master has to study and take care of the family's business, and even his own son is 'educationless', if you take Wen Xuan over again, how can you make the old woman believe that you can take him well?" ”
Wang Mingli still said reverently: "My nephew is wrong, and my nephew will definitely raise the two children well in the future, and live up to the trust of the old lady and the dead eldest brother." ”
Old Madam Zhou didn't answer, she picked up the teacup and slowly took a few sips of tea before she spoke: "There is one more thing." The old woman's body and bones are useless, and while everyone is there, she will explain what happened after her death, so that she will not die in vain one day, and she will not have the face to see the ancestors of the Wang family. ”R1152
