Wedding?

Wei Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then patted his head, I am really stupid to read, how can I forget this stubble!

Calculate the time, isn't next month the day when Sheng Hualan's daughter gets married?

Looking at Sheng Changbai, who was full of reluctance on his face because he wanted to say goodbye to his friends, Wei Chen's heart suddenly moved, and he said with a smile: "Brother, what guests did your eldest sister invite when she got married?" ”

Sheng Changbai subconsciously replied: "On such a happy day, it is natural to send out invitations and invite all the relatives and old friends of the Sheng family. ”

"I see." Wei Chen nodded, and then pointed at himself with a smile: "I don't know if the younger brother can be called an old relative and friend, and I am fortunate to go to Yangzhou to drink a glass of happy wine?" ”

"Deserve it, you deserve it!"

Sheng Changbai was slightly stunned, then came back to his senses, and said overjoyed: "Brother Xian, you are a member of the Wei Xiaoniang clan, and you are related to my Sheng family, besides, you and I are friends who are irreversible, can't you still be worthy of an invitation?" I'm going to fix a book and ask my mother to send me an invitation! ”

"It doesn't have to be that much."

Wei Chen waved his hand and said: "I am going to Yangzhou, first, to congratulate your eldest sister on her marriage, and secondly, to meet my aunt in Yangzhou, I heard that she has been pregnant for several months, how can I not go to visit as a junior?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it's time to visit."

Sheng Changbai's face showed a sudden look when he heard this, he used to be Wei Chen is studying behind closed doors for too long, and he was very quiet, so he wanted to go to Yangzhou to relax, and he dared to visit Wei Xiaoniang!

Wei Xiaoniang is pregnant, Sheng Changbai has long known about it. He is in Youyang, but he has been in constant correspondence with Yangzhou, and his mother Wang Ruofu often chatters with him about trivial matters at home in the letter to relieve his longing.

A new Ding is about to be added to the family, although Sheng Changbai is happy, but that's it, after all, he already has an older sister and four younger siblings, and it is not uncommon to add another one.

In comparison, it was Wei Chen who agreed to go to Yangzhou together, which made Sheng Changbai feel even more happy.

Thousands of dollars are easy to get, but confidants are hard to find.

Sheng Changbai has long regarded Wei Chen as his best friend, and when he came to Jiangning Mansion to participate in the children's examination, although he studied hard behind closed doors all day long, studying the current literature, and the days were boring, it was the happiest time Sheng Changbai lived.

When Sheng Changbai said goodbye to Wei Chen, the reason why he was so reluctant was because he knew that he was going, not just to go back to Yangzhou.

After taking care of his sister's marriage, if nothing happens, his father will soon be promoted to a Beijing official, and he will inevitably enter Beijing with him.

Although Yangzhou and Youyang are separated by hundreds of miles, after all, they are in the same province, and it is convenient to travel by water, and the distance between the capital and Youyang is not more than thousands of miles?

When the time comes, Sheng Changbai wants to meet Wei Chen again, I'm afraid he can only wait until the township test three years later.

Therefore, Sheng Changbai will cherish the days with this best friend.

At this time, hearing Wei Chen say that he would go to Yangzhou with him, Sheng Changbai was naturally overjoyed, and immediately finalized the day with Wei Chen to go to Yangzhou together, and then sat in Wei Chen's small building for half an hour, and talked with Wei Chen about the customs of Yangzhou.

It wasn't until sunset that Sheng Changbai reluctantly said goodbye and left.

After sending Sheng Changbai away, Wei Chen found Wei Ruyi and told her that he wanted to go to Yangzhou to visit Wei Shuyi.

"To Yangzhou?"

Wei Ruyi immediately shook her head, although she had been thinking about her sister in Yangzhou, she was really relieved to let Wei Chen, a boy under the age of twelve, go alone.

Wei Chen patiently explained: "Auntie, don't worry, I'm not going alone, but with the Sheng family's fleet, there are many family guards on the ship, and I will definitely arrive safely." ”

"I see."

Wei Ruyi put his mind at ease, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally approved Wei Chen's trip to Yangzhou.

Wei Ruyi sorted out Wei Chen's bags, went back to his room, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets for a while, took out a delicate small wooden box with a lock, opened the lock and saw that there was a stack of large silver tickets with a face value of one hundred taels.

Amber wine sells well in Jiangnan, and the two of Wei Ruyi and Zhang Ming account for two percent of the winery, and naturally they also make a lot of money.

The silver ticket in this small box should be all the savings of the two families.

Wei Chen couldn't help but tease: "It turns out that my aunt has hidden so much private money, does my uncle know?" ”

"What kind of private money, the family's money is originally under my control, and your uncle's money is called private money!"

Wei Ruyi glanced at Wei Chen, counted out ten tickets from the box, and solemnly handed them to Wei Chen: "You can take this thousand taels of silver with you, keep it for safekeeping, and when you arrive in Youyang, hand it over to your aunt." ”

"So much?"

Wei Chen couldn't help but be taken aback.

Although Wei Ruyi is already a rich woman, she rarely shows her wealth on weekdays, and her living habits are still the same as before.

Such a diligent and thrifty housekeeper actually took out a thousand taels of silver without blinking an eyelid?

"What is a thousand taels of silver?"

Wei Ruyi looked at Wei Chen's surprised expression, and said disapprerovingly: "At the beginning, my sister would rather save money from between her teeth, and she also asked someone to send it to Youyang, and she helped us before and after, but now that we have made a fortune, we naturally want to repay the favor!" ”

Since Wei Chen regained consciousness, he has not heard Wei Ruyi whisper in his ear about her sister who married in Yangzhou.

When Wei Shuyi was first accepted as a concubine by Sheng Hong, because he was young and beautiful, and he was also well-read, he was also favored by Sheng Hong for a period of time, and he did not worry about spending money.

Although Wei Shuyi is in Yangzhou, he still always thinks about his little sister in Youyang, and has asked someone to bring some silver and valuable jewelry to Youyang more than once to supplement Wei Ruyi's family.

It's not much, but it's life-saving.

Later, Zhang Ming and Wei Ruyi encountered several hurdles that they couldn't get through, and they were able to barely get through by selling the jewelry sent by Wei Shuyi.

Wei Chen has been raised in the Zhang family since he was a child, and he can live peacefully until now, which can be regarded as a lot of Wei Shuyi's light, so although Wei Chen has never met Wei Shuyi, he also has a good impression of her, and is willing to call Wei Shuyi "aunt" like Wei Ruyi.

Of course, as Wei Shuyi's favor faded day by day, her situation in the Sheng family became more and more difficult. At present, Wei Shuyi is difficult to protect himself, and he is powerless to make up for his little sister.

Wei Chen's eyes turned red when he saw Wei Ruyi talking, and he was about to cry, so he hurriedly comforted: "Auntie, I didn't mean that. I just thought, there are only two mothers and daughters over there, and no matter how much money you give, they will have nowhere to spend, but it will make people angry and cause trouble. It's better to send a few powerful messengers to the past, take care of their daily life, and help one or two on weekdays, this is the real benefit! ”

Wei Chen's words were reasonable, and Wei Ruyi also listened to them, weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

After a long silence, Wei Ruyi finally asked: "You are right, but our family has never bought any maids, where did this manpower come from?" ”

"Aunt don't worry." Wei Chen smiled indifferently: "The last time I paid tribute and bought, Uncle Sheng owed me a favor, just leave this matter to the Sheng family." ”

Wei Ruyi's eyes lit up when he heard this, yes, the Sheng family is a big family, the family is big, and there are no less than a thousand people who rely on the Sheng family to eat in Youyang alone, can't you find a few capable people?
