"No." Wei Ruo refused very simply.
The smile on Bai's face froze instantly.
Then he continued to reason with Wei Ruo: "Ruo'er, it's useless for you to ask for this wine, and your second uncle uses this wine to clear the way for the Wei family, not only for himself, but also for the entire Wei family. ."
"This wine is part of my dowry. My dowry is related to the reputation of the Wei family. I am also doing it for the Wei family." Wei Ruo replied.
Who doesn’t know what to say? Wei Ruo can make as much as she wants.
"Hehe... Hehe... What Ruo'er said makes sense..." Bai's face was full of smiles, and his tone was yin and yang.
Wei Ruo had a smile on her lips, and there was no sign of Bai's dissatisfaction with the dowry.
After a while, Bai left Changchun Garden first on the pretext that she had other things to be busy with.
After she left, Mrs. Yun finally spoke to Wei Ruo: "Ruo'er, your material is pretty good, it's just right for a wedding dress. If you have more, can you get another one?" "Mother wants to give it to my sister
. Right?" Wei Ruo asked bluntly.
"I can't hide it from you." Yun admitted with some embarrassment.
"I have already said that there are very few materials. If my mother wants to make a wedding dress for my sister, she should find another way. Moreover, my sister is going to be a concubine when she gets married. Although it is said to be on the royal jade certificate, she is a concubine after all. How can she do it? Wear red? Did your mother say so?"
Wei Ruo's words made Yun feel very embarrassed.
"I understand."
Mrs. Yun didn't ask Wei for any more information. She gave Wei Ruo a few words and then left.
After Yunshi and Baishi left, Xiumei burst into laughter.
"Miss, the way the madam and the second madam looked just now, they really have the word "want" engraved on their foreheads. If they knew how many good things you have, madam, their eyes would probably pop out." "They will even think about it
. My eyes are pierced, and I don’t want to take any of what I don’t want to give them.”
"Yes, let them be greedy!"

After returning, Bai told Wei Mingyong that Wei Ruo had two jars of thyme.
"This girl is so lucky. She got two jars of things I didn't buy for a long time!" Wei Mingyong gritted his teeth.
"No, this little girl is lucky. I don't know where she got such rich friends." Bai said unconvinced.
Wei Mingyong thought about it and still felt unwilling to do so. "No, she has to ask for these two jars of wine. I want to give them to Mr. Qi!" "I have
already said that I want to buy her wine, but she won't sell it. How can you get it?"
Wei Mingyong thought immediately . After seeing several previous confrontations with Wei Ruo, he suddenly ran out of ideas.
"This stinky girl, my father also said that waiting for her to marry to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion will bring benefits to our family. I think with her selfish character, she will probably not care about the Wei family!" ###
Wei
Ruo The news that a wealthy friend gave her a bunch of rare items spread to the ears of other people in the house.
Wei Ruo had two jars of the thyme that Wei Mingyong asked for, and Wei Ruo had two jars of it. Wei Qingwan wanted the best material for her wedding dress, but Wei Ruo's mysterious friend casually gave her a piece that could not be bought elsewhere.
Wei Qingwan couldn't understand why Wei Qingruo was always so lucky, always able to make some powerful friends, and always able to get something that others couldn't get.
Wei Qingwan was unwilling to accept that Wei Ruo could use better-looking materials to make her wedding dress, but Yunshi had stopped talking and there was nothing she could do.

In the evening, everyone gathered together to have New Year’s Eve dinner.
This year, due to the arrival of the people from the third room, the New Year's Eve in Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion was more lively than in previous years.
The only regret is that Wei Mingting could not come back to celebrate the New Year together.
I heard that the coastal areas are not peaceful again these days, and there may be another fight.
After the Lantern Festival on the 15th, people from the Xuanping Hou Mansion came to Zhongyi Bo Mansion to apply for employment.
The betrothal gift was a full thirty bucks, which was enough to give Uncle Zhongyi a lot of face.
This is the most lively event in Zhongyi's house since the last time Wei Qingwan was given the opportunity to marry the sixth prince. The old man was extremely happy, as if he saw the dawn of the Wei family's revival right before his eyes.
After the two parties exchanged their birth dates, the Xuanping Hou Mansion decided on the eighth day of May as the day to get married.
The old man happily agreed.
Although time is a bit tight, the Marquis of Xuanping married a step-brother, so everything was kept simple and it was still possible to catch up.
During this period, Wei Ruo stayed in Changchun Garden to get married, as the Wei family wanted.
She carefully prepared her dowry and personally selected an embroiderer to sew her wedding dress.
This made the Wei family, who were originally worried that Wei Ruo would not cooperate, feel relieved about her.
Even Wei Qingwan began to believe that if Wei was really satisfied with this marriage, she planned to marry Marquis Xuanping as his stepwife.
Therefore, in the next half month, if Wei wanted to go shopping, Mrs. Wei agreed easily.
Time flies to February.
On the first day of the new year, Wei Ruo went out as usual, but this time he did not go to the city, but went to Long'an Temple outside the city to burn incense.
After returning, Wei Ruo was no different and was preparing things for her wedding as usual.
Three days later at night, just as Wei Ruo was about to lie down, someone came from Shou'an Hall.
Mingzhu's voice came from outside the door, and her voice was urgent: "Miss, the master and his wife have called you over for something urgent, and asked you to go there immediately." Wei Ruo stood up slowly: "I understand." "
Miss
, this matter is extremely urgent. ." The person outside the door urged again.
"Yes."
Wei Ruo agreed, but still unhurriedly.
Wait until you are fully dressed before opening the door.
The Mingzhu in front of her frowned, looking like her butt was on fire.
It seems that there is a real emergency at Shou'antang.
Wei Ruo didn't ask and followed Mingzhu to Shou'an Hall.
It was already late at night, but the lights in the Shou'an Hall were still brightly lit. The old man and the old lady who should have gone to bed now called everyone in the house over.
Wei Ruo was the last one to arrive because he lived far away.
When Wei Ruo stepped into the door, everyone in the room looked at her as if there was a tacit understanding.
Wei Ruo looked at the old man and the old lady calmly with a calm expression.
The old man seemed very angry and depressed at the same time. He gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me, who did you offend?" "My
granddaughter is in the mansion most of the time. If you want to offend someone, it's the mansion." People here." Wei Ruodao.
"Then why are rumors about you spreading outside?" Mr. Wei said with a sullen look on his face.
"What rumors?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Do you know that people outside are saying that it's your brother's death?" Mr. Wei's tone was high, and his voice sounded angry and annoyed.
"Is there any such thing?" Wei Ruo's tone was cold.
"Did you know that because of this rumor, the Xuanping Houfu is now considering breaking off the engagement!"
Old Mrs. Wei slammed the table in anger.
