There was silence in the hall.
Everyone's eyes turned to Qin Wenzhen, the head and patriarch of the Qin family, waiting for him to announce the important matter.
Many people have begun to feel uneasy.
Because from the look on his face, it was obvious that this matter was of great importance, and probably not something to celebrate.
“Ahem.”
Qin Wenzheng cleared his throat and suddenly smiled: "Everyone, don't be so nervous. This is not a matter of life and death for the family. It's just... after careful consideration, I decided to submit a letter to the court in a few days to resign the title of Qin family."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Before anyone else could speak, Qin Wenzheng once again brought up a big thing: "Also, starting today, I will resign from the position of the head of the Qin family. This position will be handed over to the second brother. I can't do it anymore."
Everyone in the Qin family in the hall was so shocked by this incident that their heads were buzzing.
Some people are struck by lightning.
If the title is resigned, the Qin family will be equivalent to a family of commoners. How can they compete with other families in Mo City
Isn’t this a matter of life and death for the family
The third master of the Qin family stood up suddenly and said, "Brother, how can you do this? The title of our Qin family was bestowed by our great ancestor and has been passed down for three generations! If you are gone in the future, it will be Lang'er who will inherit it. If Lang'er is gone, there will be Lang'er's next generation who will inherit it. The development of our Qin family to this day is all due to the support of this title. How can you just say you don't want it?"
The fourth master of the Qin family said in a deep voice: "Brother, is it because of what the eldest princess said at the banquet that night? Even if the eldest princess said something, she can't interfere with the title conferred by Taizu. Brother, don't worry about this matter. There are people in the court who oppose her. Even those princes, how many people are willing?"
Everyone else at the table was hesitant to speak, but as the matter was of such importance, no one dared to interrupt.
Qin Wenzheng said, "I am just informing you about this matter so that you can be mentally prepared. We brothers will discuss the details separately, so we won't talk about this matter today. As for the matter of the head of the family, I have already decided to hand it over to the second brother. I have discussed it with the second brother in advance. If you have different opinions, you can raise them, but I am very firm this time and will never change my mind."
The second master of the Qin family said, "Brother, I can accept the matter of the head of the family. I know you don't like being the head of the family, and you need to worry about Wei Mo and Jian Jia's affairs. But like other brothers, I don't agree with the title. After all, this is related to the interests of our Qin family for generations, and we can't just give up. Of course, I know what you are worried about, but if the sky falls, there will naturally be tall people to hold it up. When it really doesn't work, we will compromise with those people. There is no need to give up so early. If we give up now, we will only be the first to be criticized, and those nobles will look down on us and target us."
Qin Wenzheng waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this today. I have other things to tell you."
The second master of the Qin family nodded and stopped talking.
The hall fell into silence again.
Qin Wen Zheng looked at his daughter's table, paused, stood up and said, "Everyone, what I am going to talk about next is about my Wei Mo."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to the weak girl.
Luo Qingzhou, who was sitting next to him, was stunned for a moment and looked at the girl next to him.
Qin Weimo smiled at him with a calm face, as if he had already known about this.
Qin Wenzheng continued, "I want to propose a marriage for Weimo. First, I want Weimo to have a companion, so that he doesn't have to be lonely at home every day with only books as his companions; second, I also want to have a happy marriage."
When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then immediately applauded.
"Brother, this is a good thing. It is time to find a suitable husband for Wei Mo."
"Brother, which boy do you like? I'll go and help check. If the boy is trustworthy, Wei Mo doesn't have to choose a good day and can get it done before the New Year."
"By the way, brother, do you want Wei Mo to get married, or..."
"Nonsense, of course I have to find a son-in-law to marry into the family! Wei Mo's body... Wei Mo is a talented girl in my Qin family. She can't marry someone else to be a slave and suffer. I have to find a son-in-law to marry into the family and let him work like a slave for Wei Mo! Otherwise, I won't agree!"
Everyone immediately expressed their opinions and started discussing.
The depressing atmosphere just now was quickly dispersed by this happy event.
In fact, everyone knows that this poor girl has been tortured by illness since childhood and it is probably incurable, so she should quickly find someone to marry, so that at least she can enjoy the happiness and sweetness of marriage while she is alive.
So everyone is very positive.
Song Ruyue sat there with a wooden face, her eyes looking through the noisy crowd at a figure next to her daughter. Her lips moved slightly, and it was unknown what she was muttering in her heart.
Qin Wen Zheng raised his hand to suppress the noise in the hall and said, "As for the specific candidate, her mother and I haven't decided yet. I'm telling you all about it today so that others can help recommend someone and look around. If there is a suitable candidate, you can bring him here so that we can take a look first."
After a pause, he glanced at the table over there, and suddenly said something that shocked everyone: "In fact, no matter who the other person is, what his background is, even if he has a wife at home, it doesn't matter. As long as my Wei Mo likes him, as long as he is willing to treat my Wei Mo well in the future, I can accept it."
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked and found it difficult to understand.
"Brother..."
Qin Wenzheng waved his hand and said, "No need to say more. I have already discussed this matter with her mother. As long as Weimo likes it and is willing, no matter if the other party is a commoner or a noble, no matter if the other party is a legitimate son or a bastard, no matter if the other party has been married before, even if he is a beggar, her mother and I are willing to accept him."
The discussions in the hall suddenly became quieter.
Everyone looked at each other.
The third master of the Qin family couldn't help but stand up and said, "Brother, even if Wei Mo... she is not in good health, you can't treat her like this, right? With the current status of our Qin family, there are many good men in Mo City. There is no need to exaggerate like you said. You are willing, but we are not. Wei Mo is the lucky star of our Qin family, and a talented woman of our Qin family. We must not treat her unfairly."
Qin Wenzheng looked at him and said, "Third brother, I have made it very clear just now. No matter who the other party is, the prerequisite is that our Wei Mo likes him. As long as Wei Mo likes him and the other party's character is acceptable, everything is not a problem."
Then he added, "Even if she is a servant in our house, as long as Wei Mo likes her, her mother and I have no objection."
The third master of the Qin family was about to say something, but the second master of the Qin family suddenly shouted, "Third brother, the eldest brother and his wife have their own ideas. Wei Mo is their precious daughter. Don't they know how to feel sorry for her? They will find a suitable husband for Wei Mo. You don't have to worry about it."
After saying that, he glanced at a figure at the table over there.
"It doesn't matter if he is a legitimate son or a concubine's son, whether he has been married before, or what his status is, even if he is someone in the mansion, as long as Wei Mo likes him..."
Isn’t this obvious
It's almost like saying who it is.
I guess the eldest brother said this because he wanted everyone to be mentally prepared in advance, so he didn't say it directly. After all, the other party's current identity is indeed problematic, which may easily cause everyone's dissatisfaction and confusion.
The second master of the Qin family could not help but look at the figure over there again, and he was secretly puzzled in his heart. He didn't know what the boy's strengths were. Not only did the eldest brother marry Jianjia, but now he wanted to force Weimo to him. The two sisters married him together. Wouldn't that boy be happy to death? Although there are many men who marry sisters, but the boy is a son-in-law after all, and he has not yet achieved fame. I don't know what the eldest brother thinks. And the eldest sister-in-law, with her personality, she would never agree. And the eldest sister-in-law has always been talkative and loves to make trouble, especially in front of many people. Why is she so quiet today, not saying a word? It's really strange.
The third master of the Qin family grumbled for a few words, sat down, and patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, big brother! I will go back tonight and tell people to search all the big families in Mo City tomorrow. I must find a good husband for Wei Mo, who has a good family background and good people, and everything is good! We must not let our Wei Mo down!"
Others followed suit.
"Don't worry, big brother. Gu'er's friends are all over the inner city. He knows which young master is unmarried and which son is talented. Wei Mo is the most talented woman in Mo City. Even the eldest princess praises her highly. If you want to find a man, you have to find a talented man who can share the same interests with Wei Mo and have something to talk about. Don't you think so?"
"Yes, yes, we must find a great talent!"
"A talented man and a talented woman are a perfect match!"
Everyone started talking again and had a heated discussion.
Exquisite dishes were served one after another.
Qin Wenzheng smiled and said, "Eat, eat, there is no rush for this matter, take your time. If you have a good candidate, just bring him here when the time comes."
Song Ruyue still had a wooden face. She quietly lowered her head and ate without tasting the food, without saying a word.
Qin Wen Zheng also looked at her strangely.
Normally, she is the one who talks the most and loves to express herself the most. Even if she is unhappy today because of her daughter's incident, she shouldn't be so silent, right
Song Ruyue lowered her head and ate in small bites, with a heavy heart, muttering to herself: I was so rude to that boy before, I don't know if he will bear a grudge against me. If he passes the autumn exam next year, or even becomes the top scholar, our Qin family will lose the title, will he suddenly take revenge and severely bully my daughter, or even me? Oh, let the wolf in, let the wolf in.
"Wei Mo, congratulations."
"Sister Weimo, I also know a few talented people. I can introduce them to you when the time comes, hehe."
"Sister Weimo, our academy also has several talented people, they are all pretty good, and my cousin can bring them to you to see when the time comes."
At another table, the younger generation of the Qin family were all giving advice on matters concerning the second Miss Qin.
Qin Weimo had a polite smile on his face and said softly, "Everyone, please eat. This matter is entirely up to Daddy and Mommy. Weimo hasn't thought about it yet."
Several brothers and sisters introduced other talents.
A girl named Qin Cai suddenly said, "By the way, Weimo, I know there is a talented man in Mo City. He is very talented, especially in poetry. Many people in our academy praise him highly, both men and women. Even our teacher, when he mentioned his work, praised him very much and said that if he met him, he would definitely worship him as his teacher. But..."
A young man nearby asked, "Sister Wei, but what?"
Qin Cai said a little embarrassedly: "But I just don't know what the other person looks like, and I don't know if the other person is... a man or a woman?"
"ah?"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
Some people couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
Qin Cai also knew that her words were a bit embarrassing, and quickly explained: "It should be a man. Our teacher guessed that the other party was a man, and many people thought that the other party was a man. Because from the poem, it obviously didn't seem to be written by a woman."
Qin Weimo's heart moved, and he smiled and said, "Sister Cai, which poem is it?"
Qin Cai paused for a moment and said, "When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the sky. I wonder what year it is in the palace in heaven... Wei Mo, you must have heard of this song "Song of Water Melody", right? If the other person is a man, and not too old, I think with his talent, he is definitely worthy of you, Wei Mo, what do you think?"
Someone sitting next to Miss Qin Er couldn't help but move his toes under the table awkwardly and continued to eat with his head down.
Qin Weimo smiled and said: Sister Cai, Weimo feels the same way.
