"My grandmother also sent me a lot of things."

"Grandmother should give you things, you are the child of my Wei family, or my only granddaughter, who will I not give you those things for girls? When I didn't know that I was wrong, I also gave Wanwan a lot of things, and the most beautiful courtyard in the Wei Mansion was also left for her, but I was wronged that you can only live in Changchun Garden now. ”

Changchun Garden was a guest room, and because there were no other idle courtyards in the mansion, Wei Ruo's residence had to be temporarily placed there.

It was precisely because Wei Ruo lived far away that when she arrived at Shou'an Hall yesterday, everyone else had arrived for a while.

"I don't mind where I live, I just hope that my grandmother will spare me from the morning and dusk." Wei Ruodao.

There are many rules in Zhongyi Bofu, and the younger generations have to come to Shou'an Hall every morning and evening to greet the old lady according to the rules.

According to his understanding of the plot of the original work, Wei Ruo knew what the old lady and the old lady valued most, so when he had a conflict with Mingzhu today, Wei Ruo thought about the conditions to be discussed with the second elder later.

"That's right, Changchun Garden is far away, and it will be a bit difficult for you to set up a province every morning and dusk. Then save yourself from the morning and dusk, and say that it will leave you more time to prepare for marriage. Old Madam Wei agreed.

"Thank you, grandmother."

"You don't have to thank Grandmother for sending you to marry as soon as we meet, there's only so much Grandma can do for you." Old Madam Wei sighed.

Speaking of the issue of marriage, Mrs. Wei took the initiative to mention the dowry to Wei Ruo: "Regarding the dowry, there are some things that grandmother needs to explain to you frankly. ”

"Grandmother, please."

"It's been almost two years since you returned home, and you know some things, the Bofu is already empty, and I can't give you and Wanwan a rich dowry." Old Madam Wei said frankly.

"I know."

"When the time comes, the public will prepare a dowry for the two of you according to the rules, and in the past, the rule of marrying a daughter in the Bofu was 5,000 taels for the concubine and 2,000 taels for the concubine. According to the current situation in the house, you two will prepare a thousand taels for you, and your grandfather and I will add some more for you, and as for how your mother wants to add it to you, it is her business, and I don't want to ask. ”

"Okay." Wei Ruo agreed very readily.

She didn't have any idea about the dowry, whether the house gave it to her or not, she didn't want them, because she didn't plan to make this family affair come true.

"If Ruo'er has any other needs, tell your grandmother, and your grandmother who can satisfy you will meet you." The old lady said again.

"I heard that during the Chinese New Year, the capital was very lively, there were lion dancers, jugglers, tricks and various gatherings, I wanted to go and see it." Wei Ruodao.

"The ones you said are all people in the market who love to go, and there are many people and eyes, so it is not suitable for you to go. But if you really like the prosperity of the capital, I can ask a few of your brothers to take you to the street to see, it just so happens that you and Wanwan don't want to buy a dowry? You can check it out. ”

The old lady did not agree to Wei Ruo's request to see the excitement, but she still agreed to let Wei Ruo go to the street, but she just needed someone to accompany her.

"Okay."

###

The conversation with the old lady went well, and after it was over, Mama Jin sent Wei Ruo back to Changchun Garden.

After everyone left, Xiumei asked Wei Ruo: "Miss, this old lady looks very good to Miss, no matter what you ask Miss, she agreed." ”

"She is not necessarily good to me, no matter how much I value my granddaughter, I have never gotten along with them, I can't talk about any feelings, and it is already good to be able to care about it on the surface."

"Then why is the old lady so good, what do you say, Miss?"

"It's more likely that it is out of a trade-off of interests, according to their plan, I won't stay in this house for long, and I will really marry Mrs. Xuanping Hou in the future, and they are still counting on me to help them blow the wind on their pillows, and it is not cost-effective to stiffen the relationship with me at this moment."

This is Wei Ruo's inference based on the situation of the original owner in the Zhongyi Bofu.

"I see, I thought the old lady was a good person!" Xiumei muttered.

"Whether she's a good person or not, as long as she can make my time happier."

At the end of the year, the capital is very lively.

Although there have been disasters in various places in the past two years, the capital is still full of flowers.

Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan, accompanied by Wei Yifeng, the eldest son of the big house, and Wei Yipeng, the eldest son of the second room, went to the street to buy rouge gouache and some headdresses.

In the ranking of the Wei family in the capital, Wei Yichen is the third, so here Wei Ruo should call him the third brother.

Wei Yifeng and Wei Yipeng are both older than Wei Yichen, Wei Yifeng will be twenty-five after the New Year, and Wei Yipeng will be twenty-two after the New Year.

Among them, Wei Yifeng has become married, but has no children under his knees; Wei Yipeng is discussing his family.

Both of them are playful personalities, whether they are married or not, they know where to go to play and where to eat.

"Where do the two sisters want to play, the capital has been lively these days, there are so many fun places!" Wei Yipeng excitedly said to Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan in the carriage.

Wei Qingwan reminded in a low voice: "Second brother, we are here to do business today. ”

"Okay, okay, sister Wanwan, don't worry. We have a lot of time today, so it doesn't hurt to wander around first! Wei Yipeng said busily.

"That's right, second sister, let's go around first. If you don't have an idea, let's go to see the cockfight, and after walking Suzaku Street, there is a cockfighting arena on the left, which is very lively and interesting. Wei Yifeng seconded.

Wei Qingwan wanted to refuse again, but saw Wei Yipeng constantly glaring at her.

After hesitating for a while, Wei Qingwan agreed: "Okay, let's watch for a while." ”

After Wei Qingwan agreed, Wei Yifeng and Wei Yipeng took the carriage to the cockfighting ring.

Cockfighting was a popular activity among the children of the aristocracy, but whenever there was a cockfighting competition, the cockfighting arena was full of people.

Such a place has always been a mixed bag.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the cockfighting ring, I heard a commotion coming from inside.

After the carriage stopped, Wei Yifeng and Wei Yipeng lifted the curtain and let Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan in the car get out of the car.

Wei Qingwan frowned, very resistant.

"Sister Wanwan, don't worry, with me and your eldest brother here, we will definitely protect you, let's take a look from afar, it will be fine." Wei Yipeng said.

"Yes, Sister Wanwan, this cockfighting arena just looks lively and noisy, in fact, the people here are all from the high families of the family, I have been here with your second brother a few times, and I know it." Wei Yifeng said.

Under the joint persuasion of the two, Wei Qingwan got out of the car.

Then Wei Ruo also got out of the car and followed the three of them into the cockfighting arena.

After entering, the noise was even louder, especially when the game was in full swing, and the shouts of the people were deafening.
