Chapter 426 You have to make me live happily
. "Grandma also gave me a lot of things."
"It's right for grandma to give you things. You are a child of my Wei family and my only granddaughter. I gave those things to girls." If you don't give your son's things, who should you give them to? I didn't know that I gave Wanwan a lot of things before, and I also gave her the most beautiful courtyard in the Wei Mansion. It's a pity that you can only live in the house now. Changchun Garden."
Changchun Garden is a guest room, and since there are no other unused courtyards in the mansion, Wei Ruo's residence had to be temporarily placed there.
It is precisely because Wei Ruo lives far away that when she arrived at Shou'an Hall yesterday, everyone else had already arrived.
"I don't mind where I live, I just hope my grandmother can spare me the trouble of sleeping in the morning and dusk." Wei Ruodao.
Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion has many rules, and the juniors follow the rules and come to Shou'an Hall every morning and evening to pay their respects to the old lady.
Based on his understanding of the plot of the original work, Wei Ruo knew what the old man and the old lady valued most, so when he had a conflict with Mingzhu today, Wei Ruo had already thought about negotiating terms with the two elders later.
"That's right, Changchun Garden is far away, and it's a bit laborious for you to do morning and dusk readings every day. Then I'll save you from doing morning and dusk readings, just to give you more time to prepare for marriage." Mr. Wei The man agreed.
"Thank you, grandma."
"There's no need to thank grandma for getting you married just after we met. There's only so much grandma can do for you." Mrs. Wei said with emotion.
Speaking of the issue of getting married, Mrs. Wei took the initiative to mention the dowry to Wei Ruo: "About the dowry, there are some things that my grandmother needs to tell you frankly." "Grandma, please tell me." "It will be almost two years since you returned
home
. Now, you already know some things. The uncle's house is already empty-handed and cannot give you and Wanwan a generous dowry." Mrs. Wei said frankly.
"I know."
"At that time, the Duke will prepare dowries for you two according to the rules. In the past, the rule of the uncle's house for marrying a daughter was five thousand taels for a legitimate daughter and two thousand taels for a concubine. According to the current situation in the house, I will prepare dowries for you two. One thousand taels, and your grandfather and I will give you some more. As for how your mother wants to give you more, that's her business, and I can't help." "Okay." Wei Ruo agreed readily
.
She had no idea about the dowry, whether the family gave it to her or not, she didn't care about them, because she had no intention of making this marriage happen.
"If you need anything else, tell your grandma. Grandma will satisfy you if she can." The old lady added.
"I heard that the capital is very lively during the Chinese New Year. There are lion dancers, jugglers, jugglers and various gatherings. I want to go and see it." Wei Ruodao.
"The places you mentioned are popular places for ordinary people in the city. There are too many people and they are not suitable for you to go. But if you really like the prosperity of the capital, I can ask some of your brothers to take you to see the streets. It's just right Aren't you and Wanwan going to buy a dowry? You can go and have a look."
The old lady did not agree to Wei Ruo's request to watch the fun, but still agreed to let Wei Ruo go to the street, but she just needed someone to accompany her.
"Okay."
###
The conversation with the old lady went smoothly. After it was over, Grandma Jin sent Wei Ruo back to Changchun Garden.
After everyone left, Xiumei asked Wei Ruo: "Miss, this old lady seems to be very kind to you. No matter what request you made, she agreed." "She is good to me, but she is not really good
. , No matter how much I value my direct granddaughters, I have never gotten along with them, and there is no relationship at all. It is good to show concern on the surface." "Then why is the old lady so nice? Miss, you can say whatever you want
. What?"
"It's more likely out of a balance of interests. According to their plan, I won't be able to stay in this house for long. In the future, I will actually marry and become Mrs. Xuanpinghou. They are still counting on me to help them relax. Yes, it is not worthwhile to have a stalemate with me at this moment."
This is Wei Ruo's inference based on the original owner's situation in Zhongyi Bo's Mansion. "So that's it, I thought the old lady was a good person!" Xiumei muttered.
"It doesn't matter whether she is a good person or not, as long as she can make my life easier during this period."
###
It's the New Year, and the capital is bustling with activity.
Although disasters have occurred in various places in the past two years, the capital is still blooming.
Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan, accompanied by Wei Yifeng, the eldest son of the first house, and Wei Yipeng, the eldest son of the second house, went to the street to buy rouge, gouache and some headwear.
In the ranking of the Wei family in the capital, Wei Yichen ranks third, so Wei Ruo should be called the third brother here.
Wei Yifeng and Wei Yipeng are both older than Wei Yichen. Wei Yifeng will be twenty-five after the New Year, and Wei Yipeng will be twenty-two after the New Year.
Among them, Wei Yifeng is married but has no children; Wei Yipeng is discussing marriage.
Both of them have fun-loving personalities. Whether they are married or not, they know where to go and where to eat.
"Where do you two sisters want to go? The capital is very lively these days. There are so many fun places!" Wei Yipeng said excitedly to Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan in the carriage.
Wei Qingwan reminded in a low voice: "Second brother, we are here to do business today." "
Okay, okay, sister Wanwan, don't worry. We have a lot of time today, so it doesn't hurt to take a walk first!" Wei Yipeng said hurriedly.
"Yes, Second Sister, let's take a walk first. If you have no idea, let's go watch the cockfighting. After walking through Zhuque Street, there is a cockfighting ring on the left, which is very lively and interesting." Wei Yifeng agreed.
Wei Qingwan wanted to refuse again but saw Wei Yipeng keep winking at her.
After hesitating for a while, Wei Qingwan agreed: "Okay, just watch for a while."
After Wei Qingwan agreed, Wei Yifeng and Wei Yipeng took the carriage to the cockfighting ground.
Cockfighting is a popular activity among aristocratic children. Whenever there is a cockfighting competition, the cockfighting ring is filled with people.
Places like this have always been a mixed bag.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the cockfighting ring, I heard bursts of noise coming from inside.
After the carriage stopped, Wei Yifeng and Wei Yipeng opened the curtain and let Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan get out of the car.
Wei Qingwan frowned and was very defensive.
"Don't worry, sister Wanwan, your elder brother and I will definitely protect you. Let's just take a look from a distance. Everything will be fine," Wei Yipeng said.
"Yes, sister Wanwan, this cockfighting ground only looks lively and noisy. In fact, the people here are children from high-ranking families. Your second brother and I have been here several times and we know it." Wei Yifeng said.
With the combined efforts of the two of them, Wei Qingwan got out of the car.
Then Wei Ruo also got out of the car and followed the three of them into the cockfighting ring.
After entering, the noise became even louder, especially when the game was getting intense, people's shouts were deafening.
