Chapter 400 Chu Lan bid farewell to Wei Ruo
"Yes. 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.
"It's not all. Father knows that I have indeed reached the age of marriage. Didn't my mother want to arrange for me to discuss marriage with Mr. Xu? Rather than waiting for a marriage that doesn't suit me and being bound in a high wall and deep courtyard, it's better Plan early."
In front of Wei Mingting, Wei Ruo did not hide his true thoughts.
"If you are worried about being arranged for an inappropriate marriage, there is no need to do so. With me, I will not let you marry into a deep house that you don't want to go to." Wei Mingting said loudly.
"Thank you, father, but my daughter thinks that Mr. Zhao Er is very good in all aspects, and he is a good match for her daughter." Wei Ruo replied with a firm attitude.
Wei Mingting was silent.
After a while, Wei Mingting spoke again: "If Ruoer really thinks it's suitable to be a father, I won't say anything. It's just that as a father, I need to investigate again, and I need to confirm his character and physical condition."
"Listen to father." Wei Ruo said.
After another silence, Wei Mingting asked Wei Ruo: "What does Ruoer think about Wanwan's marriage?"
"My daughter has no opinion. It is my sister's blessing to be selected, and I wish her well." Wei Ruo replied.
Wei Mingting frowned and looked at Wei Ruo, wondering what he was thinking.
After a while, Wei Mingting let Wei Ruo go back.
Coming out of Wei Mingting's study, Xiumei rejoiced and said, "Miss, you are thoughtful, and guessed that if you really find a dying person, the master might not agree."
"I also changed my mind recently, considering that it would be easier for the Wei family to agree. It just happened that Zhao Hai and Zhao Xun were willing to help me with this, so I simply arranged it like this."
It's just that it may be relatively troublesome to get out in this way.
"We don't have to go back to this house when Miss gets married. Then Miss can do whatever she wants, and don't have to look at their faces anymore!" Xiumei said full of expectation.
"Well. If it goes well."
Before that, Wei Ruo couldn't be too happy.
The plan to leave has been brewing for so long, and when it comes to practice, Wei Ruo is also a little nervous while looking forward to it.

Wei Mingyong thought about it all night.
Now that I have borrowed the three hundred taels, I will be able to ask Wei Qingwan to find an errand for him in the future.
Once Wei Qingwan is favored, the benefits he can bring 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 Wei Qingwan, and after complaining, he gave Wei Qingwan the three hundred taels of silver.
"Wanwan, even if it's the second uncle, the three hundred taels is not a small sum. You should keep it carefully, and don't lose it."
The implication of the words: You have to remember this great kindness.
"My niece will remember the kindness of the second uncle." Wei Qingwan replied.
This answer made Wei Mingyong very satisfied: "Wanwan, you can rest in peace and wait for your marriage. Your good days are in the future."
"Borrow the auspicious words of the second uncle."
After receiving the silver, Wei Qingwan's heart fell to the ground.
After separating from Wei Mingyong, she immediately sent Nanny Li to Tongdetang in the provincial capital to buy ointment with a silver ticket.
"Miss, it's all over now, the ointment is gone. It seems that the eldest lady is also true. She is really going to marry a sick and poor scholar." Cui He sneered.
"She is such a smart and calculating person, would she really find such a marriage for herself? I still don't believe it, and I always feel that there is a fraud in it."
"Miss, don't worry, the eldest lady can't do any tricks, no matter how hard she tries, she can't be better than your marriage!"
"That's true."
Although the current status of the Wei family has improved a lot, and it is much easier for the girls of the Wei family to talk about marriage, but no matter what, Wei Qingruo will marry a son of a family with similar status. Still worse.

Because he was busy with the reservoir, Wei Ruo hadn't been to his village for several days.
It is rare to have time today, so Wei Ruo took the time to change into men's clothes and inspected his property.
Because October is coming soon, the weather is starting to turn cold, and many preparations for winter have to be made.
The first stop Wei Ruo went to was Younan Farm. Just as the carriage stopped, Wei Ruo poked his head out of the carriage.
The person standing in front of him made Wei Ruo froze.
Chu Lan.
Why is he here?
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Ruo calmly got off the carriage.
This is her place She can come whenever she wants, no need to be shy.
"Long time no see."
Chu Lan stepped forward, staring at Wei Ruo with a pair of deep eyes.
Wei Ruo smiled politely: "What's the matter?"
Wei Ruo's attitude darkened Chu Lan's expression: "I'm here to say goodbye to you."
"I wish Brother Zhu a smooth journey." Wei Ruo said.
Chu Lan frowned: "You really hate me that much?"
"Master Zhu, you have a noble status, I dare not judge you indiscriminately, let alone hate you or not."
Chu Lan said with a wry smile: "Forget it. Today I will leave Taizhou Mansion and return to the capital. I don't know when we will see you next time."
Chu Lan has temporarily finished his work as the warlord of the Anti-Japanese Army in Taizhou Prefecture, and will leave for the capital in a few days.
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 the Younan Farm.
During the period, Chu Lan's staff advised him more than once to hurry up and leave. The imperial edict had already arrived.
But Chu Lan insisted on waiting.
After waiting for three days, Xu Heyou finally arrived.
"We will meet again if we are destined."
It's better to miss it.
"I also hope that we have this fate." Chu Lan said, staring at Wei Ruo with deep and long eyes.
Wei Ruo didn't answer the call.
Chu Lan continued: "Master Xu, won't you invite me in for a sit-down? Just think it's doing it for me."
Wei Ruo refused in his heart, but looking at Chu Lan's expression, he didn't dare to refuse directly, for fear that things would be too counterproductive.
After thinking about it, Wei Ruo decided to agree. Anyway, after today when Chu Lan returns to the capital, there is a high probability that the two will never meet again.
"If Mr. Zhu doesn't dislike it, come in and have a cup of tea in the humble house." Wei Ruo said.
Chu Lan finally smiled.
Wei Ruo invited Chu Lan into the farm, and Chu Lan proposed to go to the small courtyard where he lived, and Wei Ruo agreed.
There is a tea stove in front of the stone table in the courtyard, boil water, make tea, and serve a few dishes of preserved fruit snacks.
Wei Ruo and Chu Lan sat opposite each other.
The morning sun fell on the two of them like a layer of golden veil.
Chu Lan couldn't help but think back to the days when she was recuperating in the Younan Farm. After careful calculation, it has been a long time.
