Chapter 400 Chu Lan bid farewell to Wei Ruo,
"Yeah. I can't hide it from my father." Wei Ruo admitted frankly.
"Is it because of Wanwan that Ruo'er is so anxious to find a good son-in-law?" Wei Mingting asked.
"That's not entirely true. My father knows that I have indeed reached the age to discuss marriage. Didn't my mother want to arrange for me to discuss marriage with the son of the Xu family? Rather than waiting for a marriage that does not suit my wishes and being tied up in a high-walled courtyard, why not Make plans early."
Wei Ruo did not hide his true thoughts in front of Wei Mingting.
"If you are worried about being arranged for an inappropriate marriage, there is no need to be like this. As long as I am here, I will not let you marry into a deep mansion that you don't want to go to." Wei Mingting said loudly.
"Thank you father, but my daughter thinks that Second Young Master Zhao is very good in all aspects and is a good match for her." Wei Ruo replied with a firm attitude.
Wei Mingting was silent.
After a while, Wei Mingting spoke again: "If Ruo'er really thinks it's suitable, he won't say anything as a father. It's just that he needs to make another inspection to determine his character and physical condition." "Listen to father
. "Wei Ruodao.
After another silence, Wei Mingting asked Wei Ruo: "What does Ruo'er think of Wanwan's marriage?" "My daughter
has no opinion. It is my sister's blessing to be chosen, and I wish her the best." Wei Ruo replied.
Wei Mingting frowned and looked at Wei Ruo, wondering what he was thinking.
After a while, Wei Mingting asked Wei Ruo to go back.
After coming out of Wei Mingting's study, Xiumei said happily: "Miss, you have been thoughtful and guessed that if you really find a dying person, the master may not agree." "
I only changed my mind recently. Considering that it is more It's easy to get the Wei family to agree. It just so happens that Zhao Hai and Zhao Xun are willing to help me with this, so I just arranged it like this."
But it may be more troublesome to escape in this way.
"When the young lady gets married, we won't have to go back to this house anymore. Then the young lady can do whatever she wants, and we won't have to look at their faces anymore!" Xiumei said with anticipation.
"Yes. If everything goes well."
Before that, Wei Ruo couldn't be too happy.
When the escape plan that had been brewing for so long came into practice, Wei Ruo was looking forward to it but also a little nervous.

Wei Mingyong thought about it all night.
Now if I lend these three hundred taels, I can ask Wei Qingwan to do something for him later.
Once Wei Qingwan is favored, the benefits that can be brought to him will be much higher than the three hundred taels.
So after weighing the pros and cons, Wei Mingyong finally decided to lend the three hundred taels of silver to Wei Qingwan.
So Wei Mingyong found an opportunity to meet with Wei Qingwan. After some complaints, he gave Wei Qingwan a three hundred tael of silver notes.
"Wanwan, even for the second uncle, these three hundred taels are not a small amount. You should keep it carefully and don't lose it." The implication is
: you must remember this great kindness . .
"My niece will remember this kindness from my second uncle." Wei Qingwan replied.
This answer made Wei Mingyong very satisfied: "Wanwan, just rest in peace and recuperate until you get married. Your good days are behind you." "I
borrow the good words from my second uncle."
After receiving the money, Wei Qingwan's heart fell to the ground. .
After she and Wei Mingyong separated, she immediately sent Grandma Li to take the banknote to Tongde Hall in the provincial capital to buy ointment.
"Miss, it's better now. We have the ointment. It seems true that the eldest lady is really going to marry a sick and poor scholar." Cui He said with a smile.
"She is such a smart and calculating person, would she really seek such a marriage for herself? I still don't believe it, and I always feel that there is some fraud involved."
"Miss, don't worry. The eldest lady can't pull any tricks. No matter how hard she tries, she can't have a better marriage than yours!" "That's true." Although the status of the Wei family has
improved
now After a lot of marriage, it was much easier for the women of the Wei family to talk about marriage, but no matter what, Wei Qingruo would only marry a young master of aristocratic family with similar status, which was still inferior to her position as a concubine.

Because he was busy with the reservoir, Wei Ruo had not been to his village for several days. As he had a rare free time today, Wei Ruo took the time to change into men's clothes and inspect his property.
Because October is coming soon, the weather is starting to get cooler, and a lot of winter preparations need to be made.
The first stop Wei Ruo went to was Younan Farm. As soon as the carriage stopped, Wei Ruo poked his head out of the carriage.
The person standing in front of him made Wei Ruo's expression stagnant.
Chulan.
Why is he here?
After Wei Ruo hesitated for a moment, he calmly got off the carriage.
This is her place, she can come whenever she wants, there is no need to be timid.
"Long time no see."
Chu Lan stepped forward and stared at Wei Ruo with a pair of deep eyes.
Wei Ruo smiled politely: "What's the matter?"
Wei Ruo's attitude made Chu Lan's expression dim: "I'm here to say goodbye to you." "
I wish Brother Zhu a safe journey," Wei Ruo said.
Chu Lan frowned: "Do you really hate me so much?"
"Master Zhu, you have a distinguished status. I dare not judge you unreasonably, let alone whether I hate you or not."
Chu Lan smiled bitterly and said: "That's fine. Today I will I'm leaving Taizhou Prefecture and returning to the capital. I don't know when we will see each other next time."
Chu Lan has temporarily ended his work as the anti-Japanese warlord in Taizhou Prefecture and will set off to return to the capital soon.
Before leaving, he wanted to see Xu Heyou again.
But he didn't know when Xu Heyou would return to Younan Farm, so he could only wait outside Younan Farm.
During this period, Chu Lan's advisers persuaded him more than once to set off quickly. The imperial edict from the imperial court had already arrived. If he delayed any longer, he was afraid that he would not be able to reach the capital in time and would be punished.
But Chu Lan still insisted on waiting.
After waiting like this for three days, Xu Heyou finally arrived.
"We will meet again if we are destined."
It is better not to have chance.
"I also hope that we have this fate." Chu Lan said, staring at Wei Ruo with a deep and long gaze.
Wei Ruo didn't answer.
Chu Lan continued: "Master Xu, don't you invite me to come in and sit down? Just treat it as a practice for me." Wei
Ruo refused in his heart, but looking at Chu Lan's expression, he did not dare to refuse directly for fear of trouble. Overdoing it is counterproductive.
After thinking about it, Wei Ruo decided to agree. Anyway, when Chu Lan returns to the capital after today, there is a high probability that the two of them will never meet again.
"If Mr. Zhu doesn't mind, please come in and have a cup of tea." Wei Ruodao.
Only then did Chu Lan smile.
Wei Ruo invited Chu Lan into the farm. Chu Lan himself proposed to go to the small courtyard where he originally lived, and Wei Ruo agreed.
There is a tea stove in front of the stone table in the courtyard, boil water, make tea, and place several plates of preserved fruit snacks.
Wei Ruo and Chu Lan sat across from each other.
The morning sunlight fell on the two of them like a golden veil.
Chu Lan couldn't help but recall the days when she was recuperating at Younan Farm. If she thought about it carefully, a long time had passed.
