"It's your business whether mother wants to believe such nonsense, and I am stating an objective fact. Whether or not there is an affair cannot be determined by Wei Qingwan's one-sided words. I remind mother that there is something fishy in the matter. If mother is not willing to consider me There is no other way." Wei Ruo said with a cold face.
"So what if things are strange? This is the Holy Majesty's will. How can we, the Wei family, resist and disobey the decree?" Yun asked Wei Ruo.
Without waiting for Wei Ruo's reply, Mrs. Yun continued: "You think I don't know the stakes involved? Do you think I don't know it's not appropriate for the Wei family to get involved in the dispute over the crown prince? I know the twists and turns involved better than I do. You know it!"
"Since mother knows it, I have nothing to say."
Wei Ruo said goodbye to Yun: "I won't disturb mother's rest. My daughter will leave first."
Wei Ruo turned and left. , Yunshi looked at it coldly.
Cuiping whispered from the side: "Madam, the eldest lady is also kind-hearted. Madam just said that this marriage is also a troublesome matter for the Wei family, which is the same thing that the eldest lady is worried about." Yun said
: "Her feelings for the Wei family are right, but she has no good intentions for Wanwan. She doesn't like Wanwan. Knowing that Wanwan was named a concubine, she wouldn't think about the benefits to Wanwan who was deeply involved in rumors. I can only think about how the Wei family will be implicated."
After a pause, Yun said: "Also, she came to question me like this because she thinks I don't know the stakes. What's wrong? She has grown up now. , has gained a good reputation from outside, but she actually thinks that I, the head mother of the house, am not as smart and planning as she is? She wants to point fingers at me!"
Cuiping lowered her head and did not dare to say more.
Wei Ruo didn't ask for any useful information from Yun's place, so he returned to Tingsongyuan first.
For such a big matter as a marriage grant, there will definitely be a lot of news, and you will definitely get the news if you ask elsewhere.
If Wei wanted to go to the Yuan Mansion in the afternoon, he might be able to get more information by asking the well-informed Mrs. Yuan.
So after lunch, Wei Ruo and Xiumei went out and headed to Yuan Mansion.
Wei Ruo came to Yuan Mansion today to build a reservoir.
The good autumn harvest and the court's commendation gave the government and local nobles and squires great confidence. After Yuan Zhengqin discussed with the government officials and local powerful people, he decided to put forward the idea of building a reservoir that Wei Ruo had mentioned before. schedule.
To this end, the Taizhou Prefecture plans to absorb another group of refugees and arrange for them to work on the reservoir construction project. Accordingly, the Taizhou Prefecture government will take charge of food and housing.
This is to carry out the work-for-relief method proposed by Wei Ruo to the end. If this matter can be done well, it will not only help the victims, stabilize people's hearts, but also create profits and benefit the people.
Wei Ruo needs to first roughly confirm the approximate scope of the reservoir construction based on the map, and then go on-site inspections, draw drawings, and determine more detailed construction arrangements.
This is a big project, and Wei Yaoyao has been busy with it for a while.
Before discussing the matter with Mrs. Yuan's think tank, Wei Ruo first went to see Mrs. Yuan and asked her about the marriage.
Mrs. Yuan had already expected that Wei Ruo would come to ask her about the matter: "As far as I know, not only the marriage of the sixth prince has been decided this time, but also the crowning of the sixth prince and the seventh prince. The time is set. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The sixth prince's wedding will be arranged in the second half of next year, and he will marry his main concubine and concubine at the same time; the seventh prince's marriage has not been decided yet." "Does Madam know who the sixth prince's main concubine is
? Why did you choose my sister as your concubine?" Wei Ruo asked.
"The main concubine has chosen to be the legitimate daughter of the Qi family. This arrangement is not surprising to everyone. As for the concubine to choose your sister, no one knows the reason yet." "But if you think about it carefully,
your sister's identity is also suitable for the sixth prince. As a side concubine, since the main concubine is the legitimate daughter of the Qi family, the status of the side concubine should not be too high. The background of the Zhongyi House is just right for your father's current official rank." "What I'm a little confused about is why. I would choose your sister instead of you. If I were Concubine Qi, I would definitely choose you instead of your sister. After all, you have a name in front of the emperor." "But maybe it's
because you are in front of the emperor. Your name has been put on the record, so the Emperor is deliberately uncertain about you."
Mrs. Yuan analyzed it with Wei Ruo and told Wei Ruo her thoughts without reservation.
"Thank you, madam, I understand." Wei Ruodao.
Mrs. Yuan took Wei Ruo's hand and patted it twice: "Sister Ruo'er, don't worry. Since the marriage was granted by the Holy Emperor, it doesn't mean that your Wei family chose to take sides, so it doesn't mean that your Wei family took the initiative to get involved.
" Ruo nodded: "That's true, but I'm afraid that thoughtful people in the family will use it as a bridge." "Fortunately,
your father is a good official who is dedicated to serving the people. He probably doesn't want to get involved in these struggles. Go ahead, just put your heart in your belly." Mrs. Yuan comforted her.
Wei Ruo nodded: "Madam, don't worry, these things will not affect me. Don't worry about the reservoir. I will do my best." After
Wei Ruo and Mrs. Yuan finished talking, they went to the conference hall to discuss business matters with others. .
At dusk, Wei Ruo returned to the general's mansion.
When Wei Ruo's carriage stopped at the door, another carriage from the mansion also arrived at the captain's mansion.
After Wei Ruo got out of the car, he saw the servants in the mansion carrying the porridge to the carriage and waiting respectfully.
The first person to come out of the carriage was Cui He. She opened the curtain of the carriage and then Wei Qingwan leaned out from inside.
Wearing a fairy-yellow dress, her hair was pulled up and embellished with a hosta.
The man looked a bit thinner, but his complexion looked good and his face was glowing red.
Cui He and another maid came forward to help and carefully helped Wei Qingwan out of the carriage.
After getting off the car, Wei Qingwan raised her head and met Wei Ruo's eyes.
Seeing Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan was calm and calm, even smiling a little.
She walked up to Wei Ruo unhurriedly and said slightly, "I've met my sister."
Wei Ruo didn't answer.
Wei Qingwan looked at Wei Ruo and continued: "My sister knows that my sister doesn't like my sister coming back to the house, but there is no way. In the next year, my sister has to prepare for her wedding. It will be inconvenient for her in Zhuangzi, so she has to go back to the house. Here we come."
"But please don't worry, sister. When my sister gets married, she will be the only legitimate young lady in the house, and no one will compete with her anymore." "Although there is an order of eldership, it is logical that the elder sister comes first
. I am getting married to my sister, but now it is a marriage granted by the Holy Spirit, which is slightly different, so I have to wrong my sister. I hope my sister will not resent my sister for this."
