Chapter 289 I also asked my mother to help me refuse

"That's right, everyone in the house knows that Miss is rich." Xiumei nodded.

Although they don't know how rich their lady is.

"Let's continue to make our drunken seafood and raw marinated seafood. Your lady has been craving this for a long time."

Wei Ruo's attention immediately returned to the food.

"Well, I'm going to adjust the marinated sauce, and then chop some onion, **** and garlic."

The master and servant continued to work on their work.

Early the next morning, after Wei Yichen and Xu Fengyuan met, Xu Fengyuan looked a little strange, as if he had something to say to Wei Yichen but hesitated to speak.

"Brother Xu, you might as well speak up if you have something to say." Wei Yichen took the initiative.

Xu Fengyuan thought for a while and then said: "Brother Wei, my grandfather talked to me yesterday and said he wanted to see me get married earlier."

Once Mr. Xu fell, he began to worry about his grandson's marriage.

He was afraid that his old bones would not wait to see his granddaughter-in-law enter the door.

Although everyone advised the old man not to think too much, he will live a long life, but the old man's idea of seeing his eldest grandson get married has already moved.

Wei Yichen looked at Xu Fengyuan, he had mentioned last time that his mother Mrs. Xu liked his eldest sister, so although Xu Fengyuan didn't explain it, Wei Yichen already felt his interest.

"Then I can only congratulate Brother Xu in advance." Wei Yichen said.

"Brother Wei, you know that my mother prefers your eldest sister."

"Yeah." Wei Yichen did know, but he talked to his mother about this matter last time, and he couldn't say anything more if he really wanted the consent of both parents.

"I don't know what impression Miss Wei has of me." When asking, Xu Fengyuan's face was a little more shy, and he seemed a little embarrassed.

"I don't know very well." Wei Yichen only got that Sister Ruo'er didn't talk to him very much recently, let alone talk to him about her impression of Brother Xu.

"Brother Wei, if you have something to say, just say it, don't hide it from me." Xu Fengyuan was a little worried when he heard the words, fearing that he would give a bad impression to the eldest daughter of the Wei family, so Brother Wei didn't want to say more.

"Brother Xu, I've been in the academy these days, and I rarely go home. I spend very little time with my eldest sister. I really don't know."

"That's right." Xu Fengyuan reacted, and then laughed, "It's because I didn't think too much."

After Wei Ruo came back from Tianqin Garden, he was called by Cuiping to Cangyun Garden.

"Miss, Madam has something to talk to you about today."

Cuiping's face was full of joy, while Wei Ruo showed suspicion.

If Cuiping had a dignified face, she wouldn't be too worried, but Cuiping's behavior made her feel uncertain.

Entering the main house of Cangyun Garden, Mrs. Yun was waiting for her, her face flushed and beaming.

Wei Ruo's heart sank again. It wasn't that she didn't like Yun Shi, but that if Yun Shi's happiness today was related to her, it might not be a good thing for her.

"Ruo'er, come and sit next to your mother." Yun waved at Wei Ruo, signaling her to come to his side.

Wei Ruo hesitated for a while, and then chose to sit down at a seat closer to the table.

"Mother came to me in such a hurry, but there is something urgent?" Wei Ruo asked.

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong." Yun's voice said softly, "Madam Tongzhi came to visit me today and told me something."

Hearing this, Wei Ruo had a rough idea in his mind.

"Actually, Mrs. Tongzhi has hinted at me about this matter before, but I didn't mention it officially at that time, so I can't tell you. Today, Mrs. Tongzhi officially mentioned it to me, so I won't keep it from you. You You should have met the eldest son of the Xu family, right?"

"Mother, can you help me reject Mrs. Tongzhi?" Wei Ruo didn't write any ink, and expressed his attitude directly without waiting for Yun's step-by-step explanation of his intentions.

Wearing that, the joy on Yun's face immediately dissipated, and his face darkened again and again.

After being silent for a while, Yun suppressed the anger that was almost rising: "Ruoer, you know that the Xu family is a famous family in Taizhou Prefecture. Don't look at Xu Tongzhi's current official rank is similar to your father, but the actual difference is quite a lot."

Afraid that Wei Ruo didn't know clearly, Yun explained in detail: "Firstly, the status of civil servants in our dynasty is higher than that of military officials; secondly, Xu's family is a Zanying family, and now there are four officials in the court, among them the relatives of Xu Tongzhi's mother and compatriots. My younger brother is currently working in Beijing, so he has the opportunity to meet the Holy Majesty often."

"Don't think that my Wei family has the hereditary earl position, but it has long since lost the right to speak in the court. Your father is the only one in the three generations who has achieved this position. Neither your two uncles nor your grandfather has the right to speak. As for Jianshu, it's hard to say whether this title can be kept, even if it can be kept, it will be inherited by your uncle and has nothing to do with your father."

"Furthermore, the eldest son of the Xu family, like your elder brother, was admitted as a scholar at a young age, and his performance in Anzhou College is also very top-notch. If he passes the exam this autumn, his future will be limitless."

"Ruo'er, the Xu family is willing to marry our family at this time. It is our family's blessing, and it is your blessing. If the Xu family's son is elected, my Wei family may not be able to climb even higher."

Mr. Yun really couldn't find a reason for her daughter's refusal of this marriage. No matter from which point of view, her daughter was overrated.

"Mother, I don't want to marry so early, and I don't think I'm suitable for marrying into the Xu family. Isn't mother afraid that they will know that I am not a qualified lady? Are you not afraid that they will know that I go out all the time and spend all my time in the Xu family? What you do is not to help manage the big and small affairs of the family, and to be in charge of the central government, but to go to the fields to cultivate?"

"Why do you have the nerve to say this? Since you know that your current behavior does not conform to the model of a lady, and it is not suitable for future marriages, you should not do this." Yun frowned and said.

"If this is the case, then I am not me. I am like this. Can I pretend for a lifetime if I can pretend for a while?" Wei Ruo asked rhetorically.

Yun's face was suddenly replaced by anger, and his chest heaved violently.

Wei Ruo guessed that Yunshi might get angry, but he still had no intention of compromising, and looked at Yunshi firmly.

Looking at each other, the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and the momentum of the two not giving in to anyone made Cuiping and Xiumei, who were waiting in the room, feel nervous.

After a while, I don't know what came to mind. Yun suppressed his anger and persuaded Wei Ruo, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Mrs. Tongzhi also knows a thing or two about your affairs. The matter of opening up wasteland in the south of Xingshan County is still there. You reminded Mrs. Tongzhi to replace the seedlings in time last time, which made Mrs. Tongzhi have a good impression of you, maybe the Xu family likes you like this."

"Did my mother want to facilitate this marriage because she felt that the Xu family could accept me who was not a lady, or did she agree because the Xu family was a famous family?" Wei Ruo asked.
