Chapter 233 My mother prefers your sister.
"Yeah." Wei Ruo had already recognized her when she was in the Xu family courtyard.
Mrs. Tongzhi added: "Fengyuan is a child who has made me worry-free since he was a child. Whether he is studying or doing other things, he doesn't need me to worry about much. He is not as irritable as his sister." Wei Ruoyi smiled
. In response, Mrs. Tongzhi’s words made her really not sure how to respond.
No matter how neurotic she was, she should have sensed what Mrs. Tongzhi was trying to convey.
Wei Qingwan on the side bit her lip secretly, Mrs. Tongzhi's attitude towards Wei Ruo once again confirmed what Xu Yaojun said.
Mrs. Tongzhi is interested in Wei Qingruo and wants Wei Qingruo to be the daughter-in-law of the Xu family!
The Xu family is a big family in Taizhou Prefecture. Xu Fengyuan is also handsome. Like his eldest brother, he is a student of Anzhou Academy. He will take the provincial examination this fall, and his future is unlimited.
Wei Qingruo was raised by a merchant family and learned vulgar habits in the countryside, but he could still be so good at it. Wei Qingwan was somewhat dissatisfied.
Not far away, Xu Fengyuan, Wei Yichen and other students from Anzhou College started a competition with Lu Yuhong.
Lu Yuhong was the first one to go up. Every arrow hit the target, and his heroic appearance attracted praises from the students.
These compliments were all sincere and were not just compliments directed at Lu Yuhong's status.
Lu Yuhong's riding and shooting skills, not to mention compared with them, had few opponents even in the capital.
With Lu Yuhong Zhuyu in front, the performance of others seemed much inferior.
However, Xu Fengyuan stood out among the crowd and won the house with a score that was extremely close to Lu Yuhong.
Riding and shooting is Wei Yichen's weak point. He has always performed poorly in this area, so his performance today was mediocre.
Lu Yuhong looked at Wei Yichen who was riding back and said, "Your ancestor of the Wei family was a famous general who founded the country, and your father was also a general who fought in all directions. How come you haven't inherited any of the blood of a general?"
Wei Yichen replied with some shame: "It's because I'm stupid and couldn't inherit the riding and shooting skills of my father and ancestors." "It's
such a pity." Lu Yuhong has an upright temperament and says whatever he wants, regardless of what the people who hear his words will think. How it feels.
Wei Yichen frankly accepted Lu Yuhong's evaluation of himself: "Yes, it is indeed a bit regretful. My father also said this when I was a child."
But things are getting better now. His younger brother Yilin has recently shown good talent and interest in martial arts. If you think about it, if you train him well, he may become the person who inherits his father's legacy.
After the competition, everyone took a short rest. Wei Yichen looked towards the pavilion in the distance, looking for his mother and sisters among the figures.
I saw my mother chatting with ladies from other families, sister Wanwan was also talking to a young lady from an aristocratic family of about the same age, and sister Ruoer was the only one sitting in the corner, looking at something in a daze.
Xu Fengyuan came over and said to Wei Yichen: "Brother Wei is looking at the two sisters?"
Wei Yichen nodded.
"I heard that Miss Wei was raised in the countryside because she was weak?" Xu Fengyuan asked again.
"Yes." Wei Yichen nodded, and then added, "Although my eldest sister was raised in the countryside, she is as well-educated and sensible as my second sister." "I can see it. I have already seen the eldest girl's talent and learning." Xu Fengyuan agreed
. road.
Then Xu Fengyuan said: "To be honest, my mother mentioned to me before today that she cares about her eldest sister." After hearing this, Wei Yichen turned around and looked at Xu
Fengyuan in surprise. Xu Fengyuan was also a little embarrassed, but continued: "To be honest, I was actually a little resistant before today, just because it was my mother's wish and I couldn't resist disobedience. And then today, under the arrangement of my mother, I stayed away from home. I met your eldest sister twice."
Xu Fengyuan was also very honest and did not hide from Wei Yichen that today's arrangement was intentional.
Wei Yichen didn't know how to answer the question for a moment.
Xu Fengyuan continued: "But after what I saw today, I don't seem to reject my mother's arrangements so much."
Obviously, Xu Fengyuan was satisfied with the Wei Ruo he saw today.
Although marriage is an important matter, it is the order of the parents, but if the other party is a woman like the eldest daughter of the Wei family, there seems to be less resistance.
Wei Yichen said: "I can't decide on this matter, it depends on what my parents want. But I heard my father mentioned that he is not in a hurry to get his two sisters married. They are only fourteen this year, and my father still wants her to marry. We have been married to Chenghuan for two years."
Xu Fengyuan explained: "I know, my mother also said that even if it is settled, it will only be an engagement first."
After saying that, Xu Fengyuan bowed to Wei Yichen: "Brother Wei will need to be in front of the eldest girl in the future. Please say a kind word for me."
Wei Yichen's mood was a little complicated. Based on his understanding of Xu Fengyuan, he was a good match. However, the eldest sister had only been back for a short time, so he had never thought of getting married so soon.
But as Xu Fengyuan said, this matter was dictated by his parents and the matchmaker, and he had no control over it.
###
After the day's outing, Yunshi, Wei Qingwan and Wei Ruo returned to the school captain's residence in a carriage.
Not long after, Wei Yichen also came back.
He shouldn't have come home at this time, but he had something to do today, so he made a special trip to his house.
After returning home, Wei Yichen went to see Yunshi and told Yunshi the news he heard from Xu Fengyuan.
"Are you serious?" Yunshi beamed.
"Does mother think this is a good thing?" Wei Yichen asked with a frown.
"Of course it's a good thing. Although the Xu family is not a meritorious family, it has a profound foundation. Nowadays, many members of the family are officials. Although Mr. Xu is only in the position of Tongzhi, he has a good future. It is not impossible to be transferred to the capital in the future. Yes. Mr. Xu’s academics and character are also pretty good, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to hang out with him,” Yun said.
Wei Yichen couldn't refute, what his mother said was true, and the Xu family was a good match.
It's just...
"Mother, father probably doesn't want the two sisters to get married so soon." Wei Yichen said.
"Don't worry, I have said this before. I will not marry your sisters off so early. But if it can be said, it will be a good thing." Yun said.
There are many young ladies from noble families who have made arrangements to get married early.
Wei Yichen couldn't say anything else, so he could only say: "Mom, I have to ask my eldest sister what she wants. We already owe her a lot. We can't help her with other things. She has to make her own decision about the marriage."
" You child, since ancient times, all marriage matters have been ordered by your parents. How can you listen to the girl's own wishes? What can she understand about marriage matters? It is natural for parents to make the final decision." Yun said.
After saying that, Mrs. Yun brought the topic to Wei Yichen: "If I weren't afraid of delaying your studies, my mother would have fallen in love with you."
I seemed to be yang. . Sore throat. .
