Chapter 302 Agreeing to the Marriage
Mrs. Xu said to Mrs. Yun again: "I thought that since the eldest girl has such knowledge, it would be unworthy of Mrs. Wei's land to be sold. It would be better to leave it to the eldest girl to take good care of it. "
Yun's smile was a little bitter. She had thought about asking her daughter to help, but her daughter had already rejected her. She used the same reason she used to persuade her daughter not to worry about farming all the time.
Mrs. Xu continued: "To be honest with Mrs. Wei, my family has a small farm ten miles east of the city. It's a bit far away. It's troublesome for me to take care of it. I thought about using it as a thank you gift." I'll give it to the eldest lady."
"How to do this? Mrs. Xu can't do this!" Mrs. Yun said hurriedly.
"The eldest lady not only helped me with the seedlings, but also cured my father-in-law's cough. She can afford this gift." Mrs. Xu said with a smile.
Then Mrs. Xu added: "The eldest girl and I are very attached to each other. Not only me, but also my old lady and the old man like him. Our Xu family is a farming and reading family, and we started out in farming. I especially like the lively and straightforward eldest girl." Temperament."
Mrs. Yun was stunned for a while, then looked at Mrs. Xu's cheerful face, and seemed to understand something.
Mrs. Xu said it was a thank you gift, but it should be more than just a thank you gift.
If it was simply a gift of thanks, it should not be given now, but should have been given a few days ago.
A few days ago, Mrs. Xu just mentioned the marriage between the two families to her, but there was no response from her side.
Two days ago, she had just spread the word that she wanted to sell her 400 acres of land. Mrs. Xu came to look for her. While trying to persuade her not to sell the land, she also wanted to give her daughter a farm... If Yun didn't understand the meaning of this
, , I am afraid that all these years of being Mrs. Wei have been in vain.
After Yun thought for a moment, a smile appeared on her face: "Mrs. Xu loves my little girl so much. It is really a blessing for my little girl to cultivate for several lifetimes. I have accepted this gift of thanks from Madam for my little girl. I will give it to you again someday if I have the opportunity." Let me thank Mrs. Xu in person."
Mrs. Xu understood and continued: "I wonder how Mrs. Wei has considered the matter that I mentioned to Mrs. Wei last time? I thought that if the two families can get along well with Qin and Jin in the future, what will happen to the Wei family? It's all about my Xu family. We should help each other and advance and retreat together."
These words touched Yun's heart, and the smile on her face couldn't help but grow wider.
"I'm naturally happy, but Ruo'er has a bit of a wild temper. I'm afraid I will have to deal with Master Xu more in the future," said Yun.
Seeing Yunshi relent, Mrs. Xu's eyebrows were filled with joy.
The two talked for a long time, and finally Yun personally walked Mrs. Xu to the door, and then watched her carriage drive away.
After returning, Yun went to the front yard to find Wei Mingting and informed Wei Mingting of the matter.
Wei Mingting frowned: "You agreed too quickly. This matter should still be discussed with Ruo'er. And I said that my daughter does not have to get married so early." Yun explained: "Don't worry, husband, now
I just agreed to Xu The lady will formally negotiate with the matchmaker, and then she will arrange for the matchmaker to come to her door. After that, she will propose the marriage. The marriage will be arranged first, and the official date of marriage can be pushed back. After the process is completed, Ruoer will be officially married in two or three years. ."
Yun added: "Don't worry, husband, I don't dare to make the decision alone. The last time Mrs. Xu expressed her attitude, I had already written to the old man and the old lady in the capital. The two elders were also very satisfied with the Xu family. "Yunshi dared to directly give Mrs. Xu a clear attitude today. In addition to the Xu family's true intention for her, it was the old man and the old lady in the capital who gave her the confidence.
If the old man and the old lady both agreed to something, then it would not be considered as her own initiative if she agreed to it.
Hearing this, Wei Mingting, who originally had something to say, could only suppress the words in his heart.
These things in the house are indeed not what he is good at, and what his wife said is true. The Xu family is indeed a good match. He can't find any fault in it. It is reasonable and reasonable for his daughter to get married at her age, and he has no reason to stop it.
Wei Mingting thought for a while and then said to Yun: "Madam, please talk to Ruo'er about the marriage proposal. She has not been back home for a long time and is not used to the life in the deep house. If she doesn't like that kind of life, you should still treat her as Her thoughts come first. I don't want her to be rich or wealthy, I just want her to be safe and prosperous." "Don't
worry, husband, I will talk to Ruo'er properly." Mrs. Yun agreed.
Then the voice explained lovingly: "If your daughter is our daughter, I hope that she will be safe and smooth in her life. I have also considered letting her marry a farming family as she pleases, so that she will not have to worry too much in the future. It's too restrictive. But my husband also knows that these days, those farming families have a hard time. Unlike the high-profile families like the Xu family, they have no worries about food and clothing." "And the Xu family is not an ordinary family
. At the Gengdu House, Mrs. Xu values Ruo'er very much. She also knows everything about Ruo'er. Not only does she not think there is any problem, but she appreciates it very much. It is precisely because I have no such worries that I agreed."
" Well, Madam and Ruo'er can make up their minds." Wei Mingting said nothing more on this matter.
After reporting the whole incident to Wei Mingting, Yun returned to the backyard and called Grandma Li and Grandma Zhang to come forward and explain to them matters related to the marriage proposal with the Xu family.
Nanny Li is an old nanny who came from the Earl's Mansion. She knows the most about rules.
Aunt Zhang became Yun's right-hand man during the period when Aunt Li was punished, so now they have equal status in the mansion.
Yun called both of them to explain the matter, which shows that she attaches great importance to the upcoming marriage negotiation with the Xu family.
After learning that the marriage proposal with the Xu family had been finalized, Grandma Li and Grandma Zhang had different expressions.
Grandma Li gritted her teeth secretly, this is really going to happen! Wei Qingruo is really lucky!
He was already so arrogant before, but now that the Xu family is here, why doesn't that little bitch have eyes that grow to the top of his head? I really don’t know how to deal with this old woman like her then!
Nanny Zhang is a little worried. She is now the madam's wife, but actually she is the eldest lady's. The eldest lady is not satisfied with this marriage and she knows it. Now the madam has agreed to it without asking the eldest lady's consent. The eldest lady will probably feel very uncomfortable if she finds out, right?
So Nanny Zhang bit her head and asked Yun: "Madam, does the eldest lady know about this?" "
She only knows that the Xu family and I have this intention. I haven't told her about today's promise. You two go back." Don't tell her again." Yun said.
Hearing this, Grandma Zhang's worries became even more intense. She had to find an opportunity to pass the news to the eldest lady so that the eldest lady could be prepared.
