Chapter 394 Returning home to provoke

Author: Er Feng Chong

"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 unwilling 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 it?" Yun asked Wei Ruo.

Without waiting for Wei Ruo to reply, Mrs. Yun continued: "You think I don't know the stakes involved? Do you think I don't know that it is not appropriate for the Wei family to get involved in the dispute over the crown prince? I know the twists and turns in this better than

You know!"

"Since mother knows, then I have nothing to say."

After Wei Ruo finished speaking, he said goodbye to Mrs. Yun: "I won't disturb my mother's rest. My daughter will leave first."

Wei Ruo turned around and left, while Mrs. Yun looked on 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 want to say this to Wanwan who is deeply involved in rumors.

What's the benefit? I can only think about how the Wei family will be implicated."

After a pause, Mrs. Yun continued: "Also, she came to question me like this because she thought I didn't know the stakes involved. What's wrong? Now that she has grown up and gained a good reputation from outside, she actually thinks that I am the head of the family.

The mistress is not as smart and planning as she is? She wants to tell me what to do!"

Cuiping lowered his head, not daring to say any more.

Wei Ruo didn't ask for any useful information from Yun's place, so he returned to Tingsongyuan first.

For such a big thing as a marriage grant, there will definitely be a lot of news, and you can 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 autumn harvest was good and the court's awards gave the government and local nobles and squires a lot of confidence. After Yuan Zhengqin discussed with the government officials and local powerful people, they 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 manage food, clothing, and housing.

This is to carry out the work-for-relief method proposed by Wei Ruo to the end. If this can be done well, it can 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 has been 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 the main concubine and the concubine at the same time; the seventh prince's marriage has not yet been decided."

"Does Madam know who the sixth prince's principal concubine is, and why she chose my sister as his concubine?" Wei Ruo asked.

"The main concubine has chosen to be the legitimate daughter of the Qi family. No one is surprised by this arrangement. As for the concubine to choose your sister, no one knows the reason yet."

"But if you think about it carefully, your sister's status is also consistent with her status as a concubine for the Sixth Prince. Since the principal concubine is the legitimate daughter of the Qi family, the status of the concubine naturally cannot be too high. The background of Zhongyi's house and your father's current official rank

Just right."

"What I'm a little bit puzzled about is why your sister was chosen instead of you. If I were Concubine Qi, I would definitely prefer you over your sister. After all, you have a name in front of the emperor."

"But maybe it's just because you have your name in front of the emperor that 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 gently: "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."

Wei Ruo nodded: "That's true, but I'm afraid that thoughtful people in the family will use this as a bridge."

"Fortunately, your father is a good official who serves the people wholeheartedly. He probably won't want to get involved in these struggles. Just keep your heart in your stomach." 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 finished talking with Mrs. Yuan, he went to the meeting 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 principal'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 aside.

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 decorated 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 unhurried, her face was calm, and she even had a little smile.

She walked up to Wei Ruo unhurriedly and said with a slight smile, "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 will prepare for her wedding, and it will be inconvenient for her to go back to the house.

coming."

"But please don't worry, sister. When my sister gets married, my sister will be the only legitimate young lady in the house. No one will compete with her anymore."
