Chapter 86
Hearing this, Mrs. Liu, who had been silent next to her, also nodded and agreed: "This statement makes sense. Regardless of whether it is true or not, it doesn't matter if you ask Ran Ran."
"It's getting late today," Wei Heng paused, slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, and said, "Ran Ran has probably gone to bed, so we should try again tomorrow..."
"No need to say more," Wei Ping interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said, "It's a very important matter. Just wake me up when you fall asleep. It's not too late to go back to sleep when you get a reply."
The head of the family spoke, and Mrs. Liu immediately turned her head and told Nanny Wu, who was fanning behind her, "Go and ask Miss Ninth to come over, and tell her that the elders have something to ask her."
When the old servant was ordered to leave, Mrs. Liu showed a troubled look on her face. After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally said: "Today I have arranged a meeting for Ran Ran. He is the youngest son of the crown prince of the Yongchang Hou Mansion, the fourth son of the Qian family. If your highness is really right, Ranran is interested, isn't it..."
"It doesn't matter." It was his wife who was the one holding the string. The prince Wei Huan was naturally aware of this matter. He said slowly: "You are Ran Ran's grandmother. It is human nature to negotiate a good marriage for your granddaughter. As the saying goes, , Don’t blame anyone who doesn’t know, His Highness has always been magnanimous and will not blame you.”
Normally, the marriage of the girls in the family is arranged by the wife of the inner house, but Wei Ping is unaware of this.
Knowing that there was such a thing, he frowned slightly, and nodded slowly after a long time, saying: "Yes, the Gu family broke the verbal engagement and came to cancel the engagement. Ran Ran is about to get pregnant again. Her marriage must be settled. Your Highness can understand it after thinking about it. ”
"It's okay, Your Highness, if you don't blame me," Ms. Liu said with a slightly relaxed expression after being comforted by her husband and eldest son, "But...today, in order to make the Qian family happy, I asked her to serve tea to the ladies of the Qian family. , there were quite a lot of people in the inner hall at that time... Now that I think about it, I think it was a shame to the girl’s family, and I don’t know if Ran Ran would blame me in her heart.”
A few days ago, Wei Heng got the news from Jiang's family that his sister-in-law was a matchmaker for his daughter, so he was not surprised when he heard Mrs. Liu say "love each other". At this moment, he suddenly heard that his daughter had not even written the horoscope in front of a full house of guests. After serving tea to several ladies of the Qian family, they suddenly looked stunned.
“It’s not like I, a girl from the Wei family, can’t get married, so why are we in such a hurry? I’ve lowered my stature.”
Wei Heng's face turned green. It was extremely rare for him to be cold to his mother. He said angrily: "My daughter's family's reputation is so important. There are already twists and turns in Ran Ran's marriage. You are her direct grandmother. It's okay if you don't feel sorry for her. No matter how you look down on her. "
My own family members look down upon me. How much respect can I get even if I rush to get married?
Wei Heng is magnanimous and has a calm temperament. These words are extremely heavy for him.
The people in the inner room were stunned for a moment when they heard this.
“Who am I doing this for?”
Mrs. Liu covered her heart, pointed at Wei Heng, and said angrily: "You think I don't want my granddaughter to marry in a dignified manner. If your wife hadn't easily agreed to the Gu family's marriage, Ran Ran wouldn't be carrying a divorced girl now. With her reputation and appearance, which big family in the capital can’t get into her?”
"It's good now. The wedding has been postponed for more than half a month. The wedding date of the husband of the Gu family has been decided, but no one cares about Ran Ran. If your sister-in-law hadn't been the matchmaker, would you think that the Marquis of Yongchang would be willing to come and see us?"
“When Mrs. Changmenhou came to ask about the Gu family that day, Mrs. Jiang specifically asked what you thought. When she saw you nodded, she agreed. How can you blame her alone now?”
Wei Heng didn't want to argue with his mother, but at this moment he couldn't help but said: "How can there be no one interested in my Wei family girl? Ran Ran hasn't even had her hair yet. Why is the marriage so urgent? How can the family not support her?"
"That's enough!" Wei Ping threw the tea cup in his hand at his son and shouted: "Where did you learn the rules and teach you to be so disobedient to your mother?"
"Second brother, please don't say a few words." Wei Huan patted Mr. Liu on the back and said, "I have met the fourth man of the Qian family several times. He is a man of words and deeds." My husband is an in-law who knows everything about me, and my mother’s intention is for Ran Ran’s good, and she doesn’t want her to miss out on a good marriage.”
Wei Heng is not an ungrateful person. He knows that the marriage in the Yongchang Hou Mansion is good. They are both in the capital. The two mansions are not far apart. They have been related by marriage for more than ten years. They have the same lintel. The other party is still the youngest son of the heir apparent. All match. If he hadn't asked his delicate young daughter to serve tea to the Qian family for the first time they met, he wouldn't have been annoyed if he was a little shorter.
Seeing his mother's pale face with anger, Wei Heng felt a little guilty. After all, they were all worried about Ran Ran's marriage.
After a few breaths, he still got up and apologized.
Wei Ping picked up the tea cup that the servant had refilled and took a sip. He lowered his head and glanced at his youngest son, and said calmly: "As a father, I ask you. To be fair, if Your Highness has no intention of Ran Ran today, then the Yongchang Marquis Mansion will be her best choice." A good destination, do you admit it?”
Wei Heng was slightly startled when he was asked, and for some reason he thought of the young Chen Shizi in Dali Temple who held real power.
He also talked privately with his wife. The couple both hoped that Chen Shizi might send someone to propose marriage, but who knows...
With a deep sigh in his heart, Wei Heng replied: "Judging from the lintel, it is indeed the case."
Ms. Liu took a deep breath and sneered when she heard this: "Just admit it. Even if your posture is a little lower, it doesn't matter. The Qian family is a rule-abiding family. As long as you slowly enter the door, you will never do anything without reason." Talking about my daughter-in-law."
She thought she had good intentions, but she was resented by her son, and she was really angry.
Wei Heng bowed deeply and said, "It's because the child is unfilial and I don't understand what you think."
Grandmother who hopes that all the girls in her family will marry into high families cannot be wrong... even if she uses the method of devaluing herself.
…
Wei Hanzhang, who was woken up from his sleep, rode in a soft sedan chair under the moonlight and entered his grandfather Wei Ping's study for the first time.
As soon as she entered the door, she noticed that the atmosphere inside was a little stagnant. She paused slightly, then walked in naturally, curtsying to the elders one by one in a graceful manner.
"But you've gone to bed?" Wei Ping nodded and glanced at his granddaughter's hastily tied hair, and said with a gentle expression: "I called you here last night because I had something to ask. If you answered carefully, I went back to rest earlier. "
Wei Hanzhang was mentally prepared when she was helped by Xiao Boqian. She thought that during today's banquet, at least the elders of the Wei Mansion would have time to question her tomorrow.
I didn’t expect... to be so impatient.
As for how to deal with it, she had already made a decision on the way here.
Hearing this, she didn’t show any panic on her face. She raised her head with a dazed look in her eyes and said, “As long as my granddaughter knows, I won’t say anything.”
Wei Ping nodded with satisfaction and said straight to the point: "Have you met His Highness the Crown Prince before? Think about it carefully, have you ever met His Highness during your return to Beijing?"
