Although Lord Mei was tempted, he did not agree immediately. Old Lady Wei was not disappointed. The purpose of her coming was to find out the reason why Lord Mei refused. Now that she had figured it out, she told Lord Mei what happened. Whether Lord Mei believed it or not and whether he could fulfill Fourth Miss Mei's wish was beyond her ability.
After all, this is a daughter's marriage, not a business on the street. If the price is right, it can be negotiated.
Wei An was very concerned about this matter. Young Master Lin finally had someone he liked, and they were well-matched. The girl was also so smart and clever. If it could work out, it would be a great thing.
Seeing her anxious, Mrs. Wei couldn't help but smile mischievously: "This is someone else's marriage, but I think you care more about it than Young Master Lin himself?" After laughing, she advised Wei An: "We have done what we should do. Lord and Mrs. Mei... I don't think they are really that conservative. They are just worried that their clansmen will be implicated by this marriage. If something goes wrong, they will become the sinners of the entire family. Now I have already told them about this concern. If there is hope, it will come naturally. If at this point, they still don't agree, then it can only be said that these two children are not destined to be together."
The third wife just happened to come in and heard the words "no fate". She asked in surprise, "Mother, who did you say has no fate with whom?"
Old Madam Wei smiled but didn't answer her. Instead, she asked her, "Where are you from? Is Zhao'er's cold better? The weather is changing rapidly now. Children should take good care of themselves and not let their symptoms get worse."
The Third Madam couldn't help laughing when she talked about Zhao Ge'er. She shook her head and said, "Thank you, old lady, for thinking of him and sending him some herbs. He's much better now, but he still coughs from time to time. It's a minor illness. I asked my father to come and see him. He said it's nothing serious, just a little troublesome. He needs to take good care of himself. The kitchen is stewing prickly ash and pear water now."
Seeing that Wei An was worried and wanted to ask more questions, she said, "Don't worry, An An, your fifth sister knows what's going on and won't let your little nephew suffer. You should take care of yourself first. I came here to ask you if everything is ready. Is there anything wrong with the servants?"
Wei An's wedding date is approaching, and the whole family is busy. Everyone is on high alert, fearing that something might go wrong with the marriage.
As the main director of her family, the Third Madam even thought about this matter when she was sleeping. She was afraid that something would go wrong. If something went wrong, she didn't know how to face the old lady and Wei An. These two people really couldn't find any fault with their Third House and Wei Yuyou and others.
Speaking of this, when Mrs. Wei saw Wei An smiling and shaking his head, she coughed, called the Third Madam out, and whispered a few words to her in an awkward manner.
The third wife also coughed a few times with an awkward look on her face - Old Madam Wei wanted her to teach Wei An those things, but she had no experience!
Before, it was the maids who taught Wei Yuyou. She was too embarrassed to ask, so she shook her head shyly: "Mother, it's not that I don't want to... I'm not very good at it either. When Xiaowu got married... it was the maids who taught her..."
Logically speaking, a girl like Wei An, who is marrying into a royal family and whose marriage is assigned by someone else, should have a nanny to guide her, and these things would be done by that nanny.
But Emperor Longqing had no time to care about these things now, and it was already very difficult to get Emperor Longqing to agree to grant the marriage in advance at that time, and one could not ask for more.
In addition, if a nanny was arranged by Emperor Longqing or Princess Linjiang, it would cause even more trouble. It would be better to have no nanny at all. Therefore, Shen Chen did not bring it up on his own initiative.
So much so that now my family is worried about this matter.
Old Madam Wei is already a grandmother, so it is naturally not appropriate for her to do this. Unfortunately, Wei An has no mother. When Old Madam Wei heard what the Third Lady said, she couldn't help but sigh and felt a little embarrassed.
After a long while, the third wife opened her eyes wide: "By the way, old lady, maybe the second sister-in-law has some experience? Although the second sister-in-law didn't marry her daughter, didn't she say before..."
Yes, the girls from the Second Madam’s family have been married several times and she has become a fully-fledged lady, so she probably has some experience.
Mrs. Wei thought about Princess Zheng's age and felt that the Second Madam might be more appropriate, so she nodded and asked someone to invite the Second Madam over.
Wei An still didn't quite understand why Madam Wei and the Third Madam went out to discuss things without telling her, but Nanny Wang had guessed something. She was nervous and afraid and urged the people below to check if there were any omissions. She looked at Wei An hesitantly for a long time before she said, "Miss, you should settle down earlier. It's getting late and you have to get up early tomorrow."
Wei An couldn't sleep and she was a little nervous.
When she got married for the first time, Princess Changning didn't even look at her. No one taught her how to act there or what situations she would encounter, and she suffered a lot.
Although Nanny Wang was still by her side in this life, Yuqing and Lanhe were also there, and Lanhe was her companion and had already sent a dowry, she was still a little scared.
The unknown things always make people uneasy.
Nanny Wang looked at Shi Chen and knew that she was afraid. She sat on the footstool beside her bed, held her hand and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, young lady. Originally, we should have asked the sisters to come and sleep with you for one night, but Fifth Aunt is divorced after all... The other girls are too young, so they can't come. I know you are nervous..."
She thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "But our future son-in-law is a decent man. I don't think your worries are necessary. Look, didn't the Marquis ask Han Bo to send in all the news? He said the furniture is ready, and even the bathroom is built according to your preferences... With the Marquis' patience and consideration, our lives will be better no matter what. As long as you keep a calm mind, everything will be fine. Don't worry."
Wei An held Nanny Wang's hand, only to feel that even his palms were soaked with sweat. He called Nanny in a low voice and said, "Mammy, I'm still a little scared... I know all the reasons you said, but when it really comes to this, I'm still afraid..."
These worries were indeed unnecessary in the eyes of outsiders, but Aunt Wang understood Wei An's fear very well. She held her hand, patted it, and said with pity: "I know..." (To be continued)
