Chapter 289: I also asked my mother to help me refuse
"That's right, Miss is rich, and everyone in the house knows it." Xiumei nodded.
Although they don't know how rich their young lady really is.
"Let's continue to make our drunken seafood and raw pickled seafood, your young lady and I have been hungry for this for a long time."
Wei Ruo's attention immediately returned to the food.
"Well, I'm going to mix the raw marinade sauce and cut some green onions, ginger and garlic."
The master and servant continued to attend to their work.

Early the next morning, after Wei Yichen and Xu Fengyuan converged, Xu Fengyuan's expression was a little strange, as if he had something to say to Wei Yichen but hesitated and didn't speak.
"Brother Xu might as well say it directly." Wei Yichen took the initiative.
Xu Fengyuan thought for a while and then said, "Brother Wei, my grandfather talked to me yesterday and said that he wanted to see me get married earlier."
Old Man Xu fell this time, and he began to be a little anxious about his grandson's marriage.
He was afraid that his old bones would not be able to wait to see his granddaughter-in-law enter the door.
Although everyone advised the old man not to think about it, he would definitely be able to live a long life, but the old man's idea of seeing the eldest grandson marry had already moved.
Wei Yichen looked at Xu Fengyuan, he had already mentioned once last time that his mother, Mrs. Xu, liked his eldest sister, so although Xu Fengyuan did not explain, Wei Yichen already felt that he meant.
"Then I can only congratulate Brother Xu in advance." Wei Yichen said.
"Brother Wei, you know, my mother is your eldest sister."
"Hmm." Wei Yichen did know, but he talked to his mother about this matter last time, and if the parents of both sides agreed, he couldn't say anything more.
"I don't know what Miss Wei's impression of me is." When asking, Xu Fengyuan's face was a little more embarrassed, and he looked a little embarrassed.
"I don't know." Wei Yichen only got that Sister Ruo'er didn't talk to him much recently, let alone talk to him about her impression of Brother Xu.
"Brother Wei, if you have something to say, just say it, don't hide it from me." Xu Fengyuan was a little worried when he heard this, afraid that he would have a bad impression on the eldest girl of the Wei family, so Brother Wei was reluctant to say more.
"Brother Xu, I've been in the academy these days, I rarely go home, and I don't spend much time with my eldest sister, so I really don't know."
"That's right." Xu Fengyuan reacted, and then laughed, "It's me who owes it to thought."

After Wei Ruo came back from Tianqin Garden, he was called to Cangyun Garden by Cuiping.
"Miss, Madame has something to talk to you about today."
Cui Ping's face was full of joy, and Wei Ruo's face was suspicious.
If Cui Ping had a dignified face, she wouldn't be too worried, but Cui Ping was like this, but it made her feel bottomless.
Entering the main house of Cangyun Garden, the Yun family was waiting for him, his face was red and beaming.
Wei Ruo's heart sank two points again, not that she couldn't see the Yun family's good, but if the Yun family's joy today was related to her, it would not be a good thing for her.
"Ruo'er, come and sit next to my mother." Yun waved at Wei Ruo and motioned for her to come to his side.
Wei Ruo hesitated for a moment, and then sat down in a position that was closer to him.
"Mother is in such a hurry to come to me, but is there something important?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Don't worry, there's nothing bad." Yun's voice was gentle, "Today, Mrs. Tongzhi came to visit me and told me something." ….
Hearing this, Wei Ruo already had a rough idea in his mind.
"Actually, Mrs. Tongzhi also hinted at me about this before, but I didn't officially mention it at the time, so I can't tell you, and today Mrs. Tongzhi officially mentioned it to me, so I won't hide it from you. You should have met the eldest prince of the Xu family, right?"
"Mother, can you help me reject Mrs. Tongzhi?" Wei Ruo didn't ink, and without waiting for the Yun clan to explain his intentions step by step, he expressed his attitude straightforwardly.
Hearing this, the joy on Yun's face suddenly dissipated, and his face sank and sank.
After being silent for a while, the Yun clan suppressed the anger that was almost rising: "Ruo'er, do you know that this Xu family is a famous family in Taizhou Mansion
, don't look at Xu Tongzhi's current official rank is about the same as your father's, but it's actually quite different."
Yun was afraid that Wei Ruo would not know, so he explained in detail: "First, the status of civil officials in our dynasty is higher than that of military officials; Second, the Xu family is a hairpin family, and now there are four officials in the court, among which the younger brother of Xu Tongzhi's mother is now serving in Beijing, and he has the opportunity to meet the saint often."
"Don't look at my Wei family has a hereditary earl position, but it has long had no right to speak in the court, your father is already the only one in three generations who has achieved this position, your two uncles, your grandfather has no achievements, it is difficult to say whether this title can be kept, even if it can be kept, it is your uncle who inherits it, and it has nothing to do with your father."
"Besides, the eldest son of the Xu family, like your eldest brother, was admitted to Xiucai at a young age, and his performance in Anzhou Academy is also very top-notch, and if he wins the exam this autumn, his future will be limitless."
"Ruo'er, the Xu family is willing to say goodbye to our family at this time, it is the blessing of our family, and it is also your blessing, if you really wait for the son of the Xu family to be promoted, I am afraid that my Wei family will not be able to climb even higher."
The Yun family really couldn't find a reason for her daughter's refusal to do this family business, no matter from which point of view, her daughter was high.
"Mother, I don't want to marry so early, and I don't think I'm suitable to marry into the Xu family. Isn't my mother afraid that they will know that I am not a qualified lady? Aren't you afraid that they will know that I am running away all day long, and what I do every day is not to help manage the affairs of the family, but to take charge of the middle feed, but to go to the fields and cultivate the fields?"
"Why are you embarrassed to say this? Since you know that your current style is not in line with everyone's model of beauty, and that it is not suitable for future marriages, you should not do so." Yun said with a frown.
"So it's not me, I'm like this, can I disguise myself for a lifetime?" Wei Ruo asked rhetorically.
Yun's face was suddenly replaced by anger, and his chest rose and fell violently.
Wei Ruo guessed that the Yun clan might get angry, but he still didn't mean to compromise, and looked at the Yun clan with a determined expression.
Looking at each other, the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and the momentum of the two of them who did not give in made Cui Ping and Xiu Mei, who were waiting in the house, feel nervous.
After a while, I don't know what I thought of Yun Clan suppressed his anger and persuaded Wei Ruodao: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, your affairs are also known to Mrs. Tongzhi, the matter of opening up the wasteland in the south of Xingshan County, and the matter of you reminding Mrs. Tongzhi to replace the seedlings in time last time, all make Mrs. Tongzhi have a good impression of you, maybe the Xu family likes you like this."
"Mother wants to promote this marriage because she thinks that the Xu family can accept that it is not everyone who is beautiful, or does she agree because the Xu family is a famous family?" Wei Ruo asked.
