After the marriage of Wei Yangqing was settled, Mrs. Wei smiled and chatted with the wife of Marquis Ping'an.
The wife of Marquis Ping'an has always been eloquent. Since Old Lady Wei wanted to get close to her, she naturally tried her best to please her. As a result, both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much.
The Marquis of Ping'an also got along very well with the second and third masters, because they specially invited the Prince of Zhennan to join them, and the men outside drank three jars of wine.
When they were about to leave, the second and third masters were already a little drunk. When the news reached the inside, the wife of the Marquis of Ping An said, "They should have been given some sobering soup before leaving. The Marquis outside didn't know either. It's really..."
Mrs. Wei smiled and let Aunt Hua put on her cloak. She said, "Don't pay attention to them. They can drink a lot. If they can't ride horses, let them take a car. Anyway, we still have Kun'er and Ah to follow. They are reliable."
The wife of the Marquis of Ping An smiled, took Madam Wei's hand and escorted her out personally. When they reached the hanging flower gate, she paused and bowed to Madam Wei respectfully: "Madam, I always treat you as my own sister. From now on..."
Having said almost everything that needed to be said, Mrs. Wei patted the back of her hand and said softly, "Don't worry."
With these three words, Mrs. Ping'an's eyelids twitched suddenly. She nodded vigorously before sending Mrs. Wei to the carriage.
When she returned to the room, Ping An Hou was already waiting inside. She personally went forward to help Ping An Hou take off his clothes, and in a few words explained the conversation with Old Madam Wei today. At the end, she said, "The old lady is a person who keeps her word and is very clear. She keeps her word. Since she has promised, she will not regret it."
The implication is that since the Linjiang Palace is definitely the in-law of Old Lady Wei, Old Lady Wei's words can represent the opinion of the Linjiang Palace.
The wife of the Marquis of Ping An sat on the chair, feeling somewhat exhausted. After a while, she said again, "I have finally dealt with it. My Lord, you should know what is going on."
She had mentioned these advices to Marquis Ping'an countless times, but she always wanted to mention it again.
Ping An Hou hummed, took a sip of the hangover soup sent by the kitchen, and then slowly looked at Ping An Hou's wife through the steaming water: "This is a decision I have made after careful consideration. Don't worry, I know what I am doing. You may not know that Censor Chen and the others probably have the same idea as me."
Censor Chen
Mrs. Ping An thought for a while and then exclaimed in disbelief: "How could this be..."
Censor Chen is a cabinet elder! He is highly respected and has the ability to make Emperor Longqing forget that he is the brother-in-law of Empress Fang. He has remained standing until now...
Such a great figure actually already surrendered to King Linjiang, or has he always been King Linjiang's man? ----- After all, they are truly married to the Wei family, and their daughter is about to marry Wei Yangqing's son Wei.
After figuring this out, the wife of the Marquis of Ping An could not help but sigh, "The people in the Imperial Capital are really smart. It turns out that Censor Chen had already established contact with the Linjiang Palace. You are right. Fortunately, we discovered it not too late..."
After all, the emperor takes turns, but officials do not just want to be officials for one dynasty. They always have to think about their own way out. If they really offend the future emperor too much, no one knows whether the new emperor will settle the score with them.
Ping An Hou rarely saw his wife like this, so he couldn't help but smile: "You don't have to be too nervous. I told you to get along with each other as before. There is no reason for His Majesty to be on guard against the Wei family now..."
The wife of the Marquis of Ping An nodded and said, "I know all this. Don't worry. I have already mentioned Ah Si to the old lady, and she is very satisfied. When Ah Si comes to the capital in a few days, I will take her to pay her respects to the old lady."
It was said to be a greeting, but in fact it was just a visit, and after a while, Wei Yangqing would almost be back.
Ping An Hou hummed: "Although Ah Si is a little older, he is not bad looking. Wei Yangqing liked Princess Changning at the beginning, so he must like Ah Si as well."
They look similar, both are standard beauties, but their personalities are very different. Fourth Miss Xu is much more dignified and virtuous than Princess Changning.
The wife of Marquis Ping'an said no more. Seeing that it was getting late, she had someone help Marquis Ping'an to wash and dress.
On the other side of the carriage on the way back, Old Lady Wei was also talking to Wei An about this matter: "If she had mentioned someone else, I might not have agreed immediately, but Fourth Miss Xu..."
Wei An had already heard about the experience of the Fourth Miss Xu. Upon hearing this, he said seriously, "Father is indeed in need of someone who is independent-minded and upright."
Wei Yangqing is not a bad person, he is just indecisive from beginning to end.
The youngest son did not have to set up his own household, the old marquis passed away early, and his elder brother doted on him, so the fifth master had never suffered any hardship. The only thing that had trouble was his marriage, but he managed to make it happen in the end.
He really needs someone to discipline him.
If the people around him cannot keep pace with the Wei family, it would be easy for something to go wrong.
Since Fourth Miss Xu was introduced by the wife of Marquis Ping'an and has such experience, as long as Old Madam Wei teaches her well, she will be much more reassuring to have around Wei Yangqing than others.
Since the matter had been brought up, when Mrs. Wei got home she specifically called the Third Lady to talk about it and asked her to make some preparations in advance.
By then, we should invite a few people to accompany the party, and also prepare a gift for Miss Xu Si.
The Third Madam had obviously heard of Fourth Miss Xu. She was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, "Since the old lady said it's a good idea, then it's a good idea. Don't worry, your wife will prepare everything properly."
Shen Chen is fine, and now the Wei family can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Old Madam Wei is happy, and when she hears what the Third Madam said, the smile on her face deepens: "I know, but it's useless to ask. You don't need to serve me here, it's getting late, and the Third Master has drunk a little too much. You should go back early, because he has to go to court tomorrow."
The third lady responded with a smile, and let out a long sigh as she walked out the door.
After so many gloomy days, the sky finally seems to be clearing up a little. I just hope these peaceful days can last a little longer.
Perhaps the Wei family had really gotten what they wanted recently. The third wife thought about it for a while. When she got up the next day, she was still listening to the wives' responses in the conference room when she heard that a eunuch had come from outside.
She now got a headache whenever she heard the names of eunuchs and the palace, and it took her a moment to react.
