Chapter 422 Promise you to the old Hou Ye
It was getting late at this time, and the bright yellow candle lights illuminated the whole room. The furnishings in the room were old, and it could be seen that it had been a few years.
The old man and the old lady sat on the two grand master chairs facing the entrance.
On the left side are seated successively the eldest master Wei Minghong, the eldest wife Mo Shi; the second master Wei Mingyong, and the second wife Bai Shi.
On the chairs on the right are the three wives Yun Shi, Wei Yichen, Wei Qingwan, and Wei Yilin who have just arrived.
The original owners of the Wei family in the capital have all met, so Wei Ruo has some understanding of them.
The old man was handsome when he was young, but he was greedy for pleasure. But emotionally very dedicated, he has a very good relationship with the old lady for many years and has never taken a concubine.
The old lady was born in a well-known scholarly family, with a gentle temperament, and she loves her children and grandchildren very much, but the old lady's ideas come first in everything.
Old Master Wei Minghong has a round figure, a big belly like a drum, and a simple and honest face, but according to the memory of the original owner, he is very jealous and utilitarian;
His wife, Mrs. Mo, was born ordinary and taciturn. The original owner didn't know much about her.
Second master Wei Mingyong and Wei Ruo have already seen it with his own eyes, he is shrewd in calculations and eager for quick success;
The second wife, Mrs. Bai, is eloquent, long-sleeved and good at dancing. With a clever mouth, she can turn black into white.
"Ruo'er, come quickly and meet your grandfather and grandmother." Mrs. Yun dragged Wei Ruo to Old Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Wei.
"I met my grandfather and grandmother." Wei Ruo bowed to the two elders.
Immediately afterwards, he greeted the Eldest Master, Elder Madam, Second Master, and Second Madam next to him.
"I have met my uncle, my aunt, my second uncle, and my second aunt."
Several people who have not met Wei Ruo carefully examined Wei Ruo
"Good boy, it is just as your second uncle said in the letter, like flowers and jade, and the water is very lively. It's been a long journey, thank you for your hard work!" Mrs. Wei smiled and looked kindly.
The second wife, Bai Shi, also answered: "No, I thought that Wanwan's child was already pretty enough, but I didn't expect that the daughter of the third younger brother and sister's first cousin is even more agile. It's just my stomach is not up to date, and I couldn't give birth to a girl." !"
Saying that, Mrs. Bai turned her head to Mrs. Yun and said, "You are lucky to be a younger brother and sister! I am so envious of my sister-in-law!"
"What does the second sister-in-law say? The three brothers you gave birth to are all capable, and you are blessed." Yun replied hurriedly.
Bai said with a smile: "That still can't be compared with your third sibling. Now not only the second girl is going to marry the prince as a side concubine, but the eldest girl is also going to be married as the wife of the Houfu. This overwhelming wealth is really enviable to others!"
"What did the second sister-in-law say? Mrs. Hou Fu?" Yun was obviously taken aback.
Then she looked at the old man and old lady in surprise.
"Your second sister-in-law is right. The marriage we arranged for Ruo'er is with the Xuanping Hou Mansion." The old man replied.
"Xuanping Hou's Mansion? Is it the son of the Hou's mansion?" Yun was puzzled. If she married the son of the Hou family, she should be called Mrs. Shizi, not Mrs. Hou's mansion.
"It's Lord Xuanping." The old man corrected.
"Master Xuanping?" The shock on Yun's face was even worse, "If my daughter-in-law remembers correctly, Lord Xuanping is now nearly sixty years old, right? And he has already died twice."
"That's right. Lord Xuanping is six in fifty this year. Although he is nearly sixty years old, he is strong and healthy. Although Ruo'er is the second wife after marriage, he is the main wife. She is an upright wife of the Hou family. replied the old man.
Yun's face was a little stiff, and he didn't know how to answer the old man's words.
Wei Ruo was not too surprised, she roughly guessed it when she knew that the second elder had arranged a marriage for her.
The lintel of Uncle Zhongyi's mansion is placed there, even if he is down and out, the old master and old lady are unlikely to let her, the eldest daughter of the first line, be a concubine directly; but if you want to marry a wealthy family as your wife, ordinary people will not look down on Uncle Zhongyi The daughter of the Fu family.
Wei Qingwan on the side breathed a sigh of relief. She was still a little worried when she heard the old man say that Wei Ruo was going to marry as the wife of the Hou family. After hearing that he was marrying the fifty-six-year-old Xuan Pinghou, that worry disappeared. Instead, they ridiculed and ridiculed Wei Qingruo.
The Bai family echoed from the side: "Third brothers and sisters, this is a good fortune for you and your daughter! Although Xuanping Houye is a bit older, the Xuanpinghou's mansion is a well-known family. I don't know how many people there are. People want to marry their daughters, so it is very lucky to have a crush on our Wei family's daughter."
"But doesn't Lord Hou have several legitimate sons? They are all older than Ruo'er. Isn't it appropriate for Ruo'er to marry?" Yun asked cautiously.
"There's nothing inappropriate about this. Although there was an aunt in front of her, Ruo'er gave birth to a aunt after she married, and no matter which aunt becomes a family in the future, Ruo'er will belong to the aunt." Bai's voice was loud and clear.
Wei Mingyong also echoed: "That's the reason, you don't have to worry about the third brother and sister, the sons of Xuan Pinghou are quite capable, and they will shine in the family in the future, if they can enjoy the blessings!"
Yun Shi still frowned.
Old Mrs. Wei explained earnestly: "Third daughter-in-law, I know what you're thinking, but you also know that Ruo'er has only returned to the uncle's house in the past two years. We said she is Wanwan's twin sister. She was weak when she was born, and in order to save her life, she obeyed the instructions of the fortune teller, deliberately concealed her existence and raised her in the countryside. But after all, she has been educated in the Dubo Mansion for so many years, and her temperament is rustic and vulgar. Marriage is not that easy."
Wei Ruo almost believed what he said.
It is clear that marriage is difficult to say, Wei Ruo is going to talk about marriage on this side, and make other arrangements unless it gets messed up.
The so-called is not easy, but it is not easy to marry high.
But what does it have to do with Wei Ruo being raised in the countryside that it is not easy to get married? It's clear that the Wei family has declined in recent years and others look down on them, and they want to marry their daughter to a higher level, which has such a result!
Mr. Yun naturally understood the reason for this, but facing the old man's explanation, even if she felt it was inappropriate, she did not dare to raise objections.
Wei Yichen's face looked a little colder than usual, but he didn't express any opinion on this matter.
Wei Yilin pouted, and wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by Wei Qingwan at the side.
Wei Qingwan whispered in Wei Yilin's ear: "Yilin, when you are in the capital, you can't be reckless when you are in Taizhou. If you have any questions, your mother will speak up."
Wei Yilin rolled his eyes, lowered his voice and replied: "Who knows if you are afraid of my recklessness or if you don't want to see big sister?"
Hearing this, Wei Qingwan's expression stiffened, "Yilin, what happened on the way here was an accident, my sister has already explained it to you."
