Chapter 258: The wedding date has been set
The pilgrimage banquet ceremony is cumbersome, and when a set of processes is over, it is already approaching the time of Shen, so when Sheng Changbai arrived home with Wei Chen, it was already evening.
Sheng Changbai saw that the mansion was in order, and he was very relieved to learn that everything was handled by Hai Chaoyun.
Wei Chen also sighed with emotion: "My sister-in-law is worthy of being a famous lady, and she really has a good family, and she is really blessed to have such a good wife." β
Sheng Changbai glanced at him and snorted noncommittally, but there was a smile in his eyes that could not be hidden.
At this time, the subordinates in the house all greeted him, and when they saw Wei Chen, they congratulated: "Congratulations to my uncle, congratulations to my uncle!" β
Wei Chen smiled and asked Yuan An to send them a letter of broken silver, which could be regarded as joyful.
After a while, Sheng Changfeng heard the news and bowed and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Xiao, who has been promoted to a bachelor's degree." β
Wei Chen leaned over and helped Sheng Changfeng up, looked at him and said: "At the moment, although I am a bachelor, but Your Majesty has given me leave to marry, I will not go to the Hanlin Academy to perform my duties for the time being. You have to work hard, don't fall into the name of the four sons of our Zhuangmen. β
Sheng Changfeng smiled embarrassedly.
The so-called "Four Sons of Zhuangmen" is just the name of the students under Zhuang Junmen by the good deeds, that is, Wei Chen, Sheng Changbai, Sheng Changfeng, and Qi Heng.
Qi Heng is just that, Sheng Changfeng has never dared to be called his second brother, as for Wei Chen, Sheng Changfeng has always regarded the other party as half of his own teacher, and he respects him very much.
Hearing Wei Chen's encouragement, Sheng Changfeng straightened up at the moment and said loudly: "Changfeng must work hard to live up to the high expectations of Mr. Zhuang and Mr. Xiao." β
Sheng Changbai, who was on the side, heard Wei Chen say that he didn't have time to participate in the Jinke Spring Festival, and the expression on his face was thoughtful.
It suddenly occurred to him that the Bachelor of Attendants had a respected status in the Hanlin Academy, but he was qualified to serve as the deputy chief examiner of the General Examination, including the palace examination, and the Bachelor of Attendants also had the opportunity to serve as the examiner of the palace examination.
If it weren't for Wei Chen's marriage to be busy, maybe he would be selected as the deputy chief examiner of the examination, and at that time, it would naturally be a lot of benefits for Sheng Changfeng, Qi Heng and Gu Tingye, who were taking the exam today.
However, in Sheng Changbai's opinion, it is good that Wei Chen is not the examiner, otherwise if Sheng Changfeng and they pass the exam in the future, the melon field and Li Xia will not be able to figure it out, which will affect Wei Chen's official reputation and reputation, then the gain will outweigh the loss.
Anyway, after Henan Township tried it, Wei Chen's "Tan Wenlu" has spread all over Bianjing, and the people who came to Beijing to try it have also heard about the name of this book, and almost everyone has a copy.
If these people are successful in the future, their respect for Wei Chen will not be much worse than that of the master who will test the seat.
Wei Chen doesn't need to work hard to be an examiner, and he can easily gain a large number of protΓ©gΓ©s.
In the courtyard, after Wei Chen told Sheng Changfeng a few words, he sent him back to the study to prepare for the exam, and Liu's mother on the side came over: "Uncle, the housewife and the lady of the Zhang family are waiting for you in Wei Ruixuan." β
"Aunt is here too?"
Wei Chen was surprised, but he quickly reacted that Wei Ruyi should have been invited by Wang Ruofu to discuss the marriage date.
Wei Chen couldn't help but be a little funny, he was really anxious, but this was quite in line with Wang Ruofu's style.
He was about to leave for Wei Ruixuan, when he suddenly paused and asked, "Are the two sisters here?" β
Mother Liu shook her head and said: "The girls in the family now have their own yards, the fifth girl is in Taoranju, and the sixth girl is in the twilight cangzhai. β
Wei Chen was a little disappointed, nodded and asked Liu's mother to continue to lead the way.
Sheng Changbai also followed to see the excitement, he was not interested in the excitement of others, but Wei Chen's excitement, the more the better.
After a short time, the group arrived at the main hall of Wei Ruixuan, in the spacious hall, Wang Ruofu and Wei Ruyi were seated, and Hai Chaoyun stood behind Wang Ruofu to serve.
Wei Chen first saluted a few people, and then gave Wang Ruofu and Hai Chaoyun a meeting gift.
Before being dragged by Sheng Changbai to the Sheng family, Wei Chen first asked Yuan An to go back to the Wei Mansion to get a gift, and now it came in handy.
Wang Ruofu received a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets in good condition, and after trying them on, she couldn't put them down, anyway, it was given by her future son-in-law, so she accepted it with peace of mind.
Hai Chaoyun received a gold-inlaid agate dragonfly hairpin, which was also worth a lot of money.
Hai Chaoyun felt that the things were too valuable and wanted to return them to Wei Chen, but when he saw Sheng Changbai nodding slightly on the side, he didn't insist.
Wei Ruyi watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, the gifts she gave to Wang Ruofu and Hai Chaoyun were the ones she chose for Wei Chen.
Wei Ruyi looked at Wei Chen and asked, "I heard that His Majesty gave you marriage leave, do you know how long you can take a total of time, report the number, and we can arrange the wedding date for you." β
Wei Chen nodded and said, "The Hanlin Academy can't be delayed for too long, but since His Majesty has opened the Golden Mouth, there will always be a three-to-five-month holiday." β

When Wang Ruofu heard this, he clapped his hands with a smile and said: "It's okay now, your aunt and I are worried about not being able to pick a good day, now you can go to the yamen a few months later to take office, and we are much more comfortable here!" β
Wang Ruofu pondered for a moment, turned his head to look at Wei Ruyi, and asked in a consultative tone: "In-laws, you see, let's set the wedding date on the sixth day of the fourth month?" β
Wei Ruyi folded his fingers and calculated, nodded immediately: "Yes, it is indeed a good day to get married, and there is nothing wrong with it!" β
After that, she looked at Wei Chen again: "Brother Chen, what do you mean?" β
Wei Chen bowed down and said respectfully: "Everything is up to the elders. β
Wang Ruofu and Wei Ruyi glanced at each other, and they couldn't help laughing.
Wei Ruyi immediately clapped his hand and said: "Even so, don't waste time by picking and choosing, the wedding day is set for the sixth day of the fourth month!" β
The wedding date was finally set, and everyone was worried about it, Wang Ruofu got up with a smile and said, "In-laws, the wine and food have been prepared, why don't you stay and eat together?" β
Wei Ruyi proposed: "On this happy day, it is better to invite my sister to come, so that she can also be happy and happy." β
Wang Ruofu's expression froze when he heard this.
Ever since Rulan and Minglan were married by the Holy Decree together, Wang Ruofu had a faint feeling that Wei Shuyi's status in the Sheng family would rise sharply.
And when Wei Ruyi came to discuss his relatives as Wei Chen's elder, Wang Ruofu confirmed this in his heart.
In the past two years, Sheng Hong has gone to Wei Shuyi's courtyard a lot more times than before, and Wang Ruofu naturally has some complaints.
But thinking about the time when Lin Yushuang was there in the past, Wang Ruofu was also relieved.
In the past, Lin Yushuang alone took up most of Sheng Hong, and Wang Ruofu only accounted for a small half. Now Wei Shuyi only occupies a small half, and the big head is still here with Wang Ruofu, and Wang Ruofu is still dissatisfied.
If you want Sheng Hong to be single-minded about herself, that's just an extravagant hope, even if there is no Wei Xiaoniang, it is still Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu.
Thinking about it this way, Wei Shuyi is actually not bad.
After all, Wei Shuyi is different from Lin Yushuang's slut, Wei Shuyi has always been a non-fighting character.
Even if her mother is a noblewoman, Wei Chen also calls her an aunt, Wei Shuyi has always guarded her Qinyun Courtyard, and she is also very respectful to Wang Ruofu on weekdays, and she never has the intention of exceeding the rules.
Since she is so knowledgeable, Wang Ruofu doesn't mind showing her generosity as a housewife.
Thinking of this, Wang Ruofu nodded with a smile, turned his head and ordered: "Mother Liu, go to Qinyun Courtyard and invite Wei Xiaoniang to dinner." β
