Chapter 393: Marriage
Wei Yichen also received gifts from Wei Ruo, two precious calligraphy and paintings and two pieces of silk.
Wei Yichen looked at the gift with no obvious expression on his face or any comment. He just asked Xiaonan to put everything away in a calm tone.
"Master, you should like the calligraphy and painting given by the eldest lady very much. Why don't you take a look?" Xiaonan asked doubtfully.
The eldest young master has always loved calligraphy and painting, especially calligraphy and painting by famous artists. Most of the rewards from the palace are calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, and the eldest young master cannot see them on weekdays.
"No, put it away." Wei Yichen said nothing more.
Xiao Nan could only nod and follow the instructions, but she felt vaguely in her heart that the eldest young master was becoming more and more taciturn. After escaping from death, others became taciturn. After the second young master left, he became even more unpredictable.

Wei Qingwan is in Zhuangzi, but she can still know everything that happens in the house.
The people in Zhuangzi also talked about what happened in the general's palace, especially when they talked about the eldest lady getting a reward from the empress of the palace, the people in Zhuangzi were very excited.
He also said how good the rewards were, how shiny the satin Wei Ruo distributed to the people in the house was, and how exquisite the porcelain was, which no one in the house had ever seen before.
These words sounded extremely harsh in Wei Qingwan's ears.
These people in Zhuangzi are just like the servants in the mansion, they all flatter Wei Ruo and put down others. Seeing that Wei Ruo is now in power, they will praise her constantly. Seeing that she is in decline, they will make things difficult for her and deduct her daily food and clothing expenses.
Wei Qingwan glanced at her simple room. The room was leaking from all directions. Even though Cui He had cleaned it several times, she could still smell the musty smell.
And there was no jewelry on her dressing table that she could wear.
She took out some earrings and bracelets and exchanged them for silver, which she used to maintain her daily food and clothing expenses.
After arriving at Zhuangzi, her daily food and clothing were very poor. If she didn't get some subsidies, her life would be even more miserable now.
Thinking about the pile of rewards Wei Ruode had received, Wei Qingwan sneered, then looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but laugh at herself, blaming herself for not realizing it earlier and taking advantage first, so she ended up like this. Such a situation.
With a "squeak" sound, the door was pushed open.
"Miss, miss..." Cuihe hurriedly came in from outside, holding a letter in his hand.
"How is it?" Wei Qingwan asked hurriedly.
"Master Qi gives you a letter." Cuihe handed over the letter.
Wei Qingwan hurriedly took the letter and opened it to check.
She finally waited for the news from Mr. Qi. She had always believed that Mr. Qi would keep his promise...
The letter unfolded, and the joy on Wei Qingwan's face gradually appeared.
"How is Miss? What does the letter say?" Cuihe asked expectantly.
"I can return to the General's Mansion openly and honestly." Wei Qingwan said firmly.
"Really? That's great!" Cui He said with joy on his face, "Then the eldest lady will not be happy! As for the rewards she has received, the young lady will not even bother to take a look at them in the future!" Wei Qingwan was
nervous He held the letter in his hand tightly, his eyes filled with hope.

On the second day, Wei Ruo was plowing the ground with a hoe in the yard. The vegetables in the small vegetable garden surrounded by the wall had been harvested. She was going to turn over the ground, pile compost, and prepare to sow new seeds.
"Miss, miss..." Xiumei ran in anxiously.
"What's going on?"
"A eunuch from the palace came to the house to announce the decree."
"Is it for my father or my eldest brother? Or is it me?" Wei Ruo asked. "None of them. It's for the second lady." Xiumei said.
"Wei Qingwan? What's going on?"
"It's a marriage!"
"A marriage? To whom?"
"Sixth prince! Be the sixth prince's concubine!"
"Sixth prince? Are you sure? Did you hear correctly? Is he the sixth prince, not the seventh prince, or the third son of the Qi family?" Wei Ruo was very surprised by the news.
Xiumei nodded heavily: "I heard it true, I am sure it is the sixth prince, not the seventh prince or the third son of the Qi family!"
Wei Ruo frowned, forgot to move the hand holding the hoe, and began to think deeply about this issue.
According to the plot of the original work, Wei Qingwan's official partner was Chu Lan, but in this life, she was married to Qi Zhen.
But now that the marriage decree came down, she was directed to the sixth prince who had never interacted with her. It was really strange!
"Did the imperial edict say why the marriage was granted in this way?" Wei Ruo asked.
"The second lady of the Wei family said something virtuous, dignified and polite, and she said a lot of nice words." Xiumei replied.
This kind of word is generally used in marriage conferments, and has no specific reference value.
"Do you know who the sixth prince's concubine is?" Wei Ruo asked again.
According to the rules of the dynasty that Wei Ruo learned about, the wedding of a prince is generally accompanied by the title of king, and the wedding is preceded by the principal concubine and then the concubine. It is common for the principal concubine and the concubine to enter the house on the same day, but it is rare for them to enter the house on the same day. It is rare to marry a concubine first and then become the main concubine.
All in all, the sixth prince Chu Heng and the seventh prince Chu Lan were both over eighteen, and they were at the age where they could get married.
"Then I don't know yet. When I heard the news, I came back immediately to report it to the lady. I didn't have time to inquire too much," Xiumei said.
"Let's go to Cangyun Garden and ask about the situation." Wei Ruodao.
It's not that she wants to gossip about Wei Qingwan, but if Wei Qingwan really becomes the concubine of the sixth prince Liu Heng, she will passively involve the Wei family. Wei Ruo needs to find out more.
Wei Ruo brought Xiumei to Cangyun Garden. At this time, Cangyun Garden was filled with an unusual atmosphere because of the recent marriage.
When Wei Ruo walked into the main room, it was rare that he didn't see Mrs. Yun showing joy at receiving the order.
"Miss."
Cuiping called Wei Ruo, and her voice caught Yun's attention. Yun raised her head and met Wei Ruo's eyes.
"Is something wrong?" Yun asked, her voice a little cold.
"I heard that there was an order from the palace to marry the second sister to the sixth prince?" Wei Ruo got straight to the point.
"Yeah, I didn't expect your second sister to have such a good fortune, right?" Yun said.
"Does mother think this is a good thing for the Wei family?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Whether it is a good thing for the Wei family or not, but at least it is a good thing for Wanwan, so that she will not be disturbed by rumors again!" Yun said with a straight face.
"Does mother not think there is any problem in this at all? The person who had an affair with the second sister before was the third son of the Qi family, and now the person being married to is the sixth prince. The two of them are cousins." Wei Ruo asked.
"Wanwan did not have an affair with the Third Young Master Qi. The two of them were in love but only polite. Outsiders don't understand and are just talking nonsense. As the eldest sister in the family, why can you say that she is having an affair? What's your motive? Yunshi asked back.
