Chapter 426 I have to have a good time
"Grandma also gave me a lot of things."
"Grandmother should give you things. You are a child of my Wei family and my only granddaughter. If I don't give you the things I give to girls, who will I give to you? When I didn't know that I was wrong, I also gave Wanwan has a lot of things, and the most beautiful courtyard in the Wei Mansion was also left to her, but it's a pity that you can only live in Changchun Garden now."
Changchun Garden is a guest room. Since there are no other idle courtyards in the mansion, Wei Ruo's residence has 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 been there for a while.
"I don't mind where I live, I just hope that my grandmother can spare me the morning and evening sleep." Wei Ruo said.
There are many rules in Uncle Zhongyis Mansion, and according to the rules, the juniors have to come to Shouan Hall every morning and evening to pay their respects to the old lady.
Based on his understanding of the plot of the original novel, Wei Ruo knew what the old man and the old lady valued most, so when he had a conflict with Mingzhu today, Wei Ruo made up his mind to negotiate terms with the two elders later.
"That's right, Changchun Garden is far away, and the daily morning and evening appointments are a bit strenuous for you. Then you can skip your morning and evening appointments, and let you have more time to prepare for marriage." Old Man Wei The man agreed.
"Thanks, Grandma."
"You don't have to thank grandma for sending you off as soon as I met you. There is only so much grandma can do for you." Mrs. Wei said with emotion.
Speaking of getting married, Mrs. Wei took the initiative to mention the dowry to Wei Ruo: "About the dowry, there are some things that grandma needs to tell you frankly."
"Grandmother, please speak."
"It's been almost two years since you returned to the mansion, and you already know some things. The uncle's mansion is already empty, and there is no way to give you and Wanwan a generous dowry." Mrs. Wei said frankly.
"I know."
"At that time, the public will prepare a dowry for the two of you according to the rules. In the past, the rule of marrying a daughter in the uncle's house was five thousand taels for a prostitute daughter and two thousand taels for a concubine daughter. According to the current situation in the mansion, each of you will prepare a dowry for you. One thousand taels, and your grandfather and I will add some more for you, as for how your mother will add it to you, that is her business, and I am not in a position to ask."
"Okay." Wei Ruo agreed very readily.
She didn't have any idea about the dowry. Whether the mansion gave it to her or not, she didn't want theirs, because she didn't intend to make this marriage come true.
"If you need anything else, tell your grandmother, and any grandmother who can satisfy you will satisfy you." The old lady said again.
"I heard that the capital is very lively during the Chinese New Year. There are lion dancers, jugglers, jugglers and various parties. I want to go and see it." Wei Ruo said.
"The things you mentioned are popular among ordinary people in the city. There are too many people, so it's not suitable for you. But if you really like the prosperity of the capital, I can ask your brothers to take you to the streets to have a look. 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 excitement, but she still agreed to let Wei Ruo go to the street, just needing someone to accompany her.
"good."
###
The conversation with the old lady went smoothly, and after the end, Nanny 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, miss, she will agree to whatever request you make."
"She may not be really good to me. No matter how much I value my granddaughters, I have never gotten along with them. We can't talk about any relationship. It is good to be able to show caring."
"Then why is the old lady so nice, Miss, what do you say?"
"It's more likely because of the balance of interests. According to their plan, I won't stay in this house for long. I will marry and become Mrs. Xuan Pinghou in the future. They still expect me to help them blow the wind around their pillows. At this moment It's not worthwhile to have a deadlock with me."
This is Wei Ruo's inference based on the original owner's situation in the Zhongyibo Mansion.
"So it's like this, I thought the old lady was a good person!" Xiumei muttered.
"It doesn't matter if she is a good person or not, as long as she can make my time pass more happily."
###
It is the end of the new year, and the capital is very lively.
Although there have been many disasters in various places in the past two years, the capital is still full of flowers.
Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan, accompanied by Wei Yifeng, the eldest son of Dafang, and Wei Yipeng, the eldest son of Erfang, went to the street to buy rouge, gouache and some headgear.
In the arrangement of the Wei family in the capital, Wei Yichen is the third, so here Wei Ruo should call him the third elder brother.
Both Wei Yifeng and Wei Yipeng are 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 playful personalities. Whether they are married or not, they know exactly where to go and where to eat.
"Where do the two younger sisters want to go? The capital is very lively these days, and there are so many interesting 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 deal with business today."
"Okay, okay, sister Wanwan, don't be in a hurry. We have a lot of time today, so it's okay to go for a walk first!" Wei Yipeng said hurriedly.
"Yes, Second Sister, take a walk first. If you have no ideas, let's go to watch a cockfight. After walking through Zhuque Street, there is a cockfighting field on the left, which is very lively and interesting." Wei Yifeng agreed.
Wei Qingwan wanted to refuse again, but Wei Yipeng kept 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 noble children. Whenever there is a cockfighting competition, the cockfighting arena is full of people.
A place like this has always been a mixed bag.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the cockfighting field, I heard bursts of noise coming from inside.
After the carriage stopped, Wei Yifeng and Wei Yipeng lifted the curtain to let Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan in the carriage get off.
Wei Qingwan frowned and was very conflicted.
"Sister Wanwan, don't worry. With me and your elder brother here, I will definitely protect you. Let's take a look from a distance and everything will be fine." Wei Yipeng said.
"Yes, Sister Wanwan, this cockfighting ground only looks lively and noisy, but in fact, the people here are all descendants from aristocratic families. I know that your second brother and I have been here a few times." Wei Yifeng said.
Under the joint 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 arena.
After coming in, the sound became even louder, especially when the game was in full swing, the people's shouts were deafening.
