Old Madam Wei was a little surprised. Then she remembered that the Third Madam had mentioned several times before that she wanted to find a boyfriend for Wei Yuyou. She couldn't help but asked in shock, "You have already picked a boyfriend? Whose family is it?"
He was not close to his youngest son, but he did have some affection for the two illegitimate sons, the Second Master and the Third Master, who had been raised by his side. However, he had been busy recently and had not taken care of Wei Yuyou's affairs. Now that he heard about it, he felt that he had been somewhat derelict in his duty.
The third wife laughed and said, "I was just about to tell you, this is the Zheng family's child, my mother introduced him..."
Mrs. Wei thought for a moment and asked, "Which Zheng family?"
"It's the Zheng family, the family of the military officer of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War." The Third Lady was obviously very satisfied, and her smile never stopped: "Lord Zheng has three children. This time I'm introducing the youngest one. I heard that he is very motivated and hardworking, and he is also a very talented person."
Although the Wei family still has the status of a marquisate, the crown prince has not been decided yet. After Old Madam Wei dies, it is still unclear whether the title will still be there. What's more, the third master is just a concubine's son and his official position is not high. The third lady is very satisfied with this marriage and feels that she has married above her station.
Old Madam Wei also thought this marriage was a great one, and couldn't help asking, "Have you asked the other party?"
The third wife smiled and nodded: "My mother said that it was the wife of Lord Shen Liang, the fourth-rank guerrilla general of the Beijing camp, who acted as a matchmaker..."
Lady Pingxi Hou
Thinking of the identity of the wife of Marquis Pingxi, Mrs. Wei frowned again.
How could someone from the Feng family think of acting as a matchmaker for someone from the Wei family
For so many years, in order to prevent Emperor Longqing from thinking that the Feng family and the Wei family are close, the Feng family has always kept a distance from the Wei family. The two families have become very estranged. Why would the Feng family still get close to the Wei family
Wei An was also confused.
In the previous life, Marquis Rongchang was thrown into jail because he stood up for the Wei family. But it was not the case in this life. In this life, Marquis Rongchang's son was thrown into jail because he was slandered by Cao An for practicing witchcraft.
So can we assume that in the previous life, the Prince of Rongchang Marquis actually had no intention of standing up for the Wei family, but was just framed
If that's true, then the Feng family doesn't like the Wei family at all and doesn't want to get close to the Wei family.
This time, the introduction was a bit strange.
But maybe the Feng family is familiar with the Kong family, so they are doing a favor for the Kong family
After all, when Third Master Shen broke his leg, it was Gongfeng Kong who treated him.
Mrs. Wei thought so and looked at Wei An. They both saw the defensiveness and vigilance in each other's eyes.
"When will we meet?" Old Madam Wei didn't say anything in the end. She just smiled and asked, "Why don't I, an old woman, go and take a look when the time comes? The girls in our Dingbei Marquis Mansion are all precious and precious. As elders, we must carefully screen them."
Mrs. Wei would say this, and the Third Lady was really overjoyed. She quickly nodded and agreed: "Let's set it on the third day of the eleventh month, the day after tomorrow. I heard that the plum blossoms in Puci Temple will all be in bloom by then, and it will be a good time to enjoy the scenery and watch the snow."
Wei An’s eyelids twitched violently.
She didn't like Puci Temple. Every time she went there in her previous life, nothing good seemed to happen.
Of course, the most important reasons are more than these.
Puci Temple is a place that is truly a den of filth and dirt. On the surface, it is a nunnery, but to put it bluntly, it is a place for people to commit adultery. Many scandals have been covered up by Puci Temple.
In her previous life, she clearly did not steal the jade ruyi, and those nuns knew it very well. But because Censor Chen was so powerful and she had no one to rely on, those nuns ruthlessly said she was worthless.
This time, someone from the Feng family inexplicably came forward to act as a matchmaker and chose Puci Temple as the venue. No matter how she thought about it, she felt something was wrong.
Old Madam Wei hummed, looked at the Third Madam and said, "In that case, you as the mother should go back and prepare well. Prepare everything for Xiaowu. I have a set of kingfisher feather headgear here. You can take it back to Xiaowu later."
The third wife stood up quickly: "Mom, why do you need me to spend money..."
Mrs. Wei waved her hand and said, "What's the big deal? It's only natural for me to buy something for my granddaughter. Since you have something to do, go and do it first. You don't have to come and pay your respects tomorrow."
He also instructed the third wife to clean up the yard where the fifth room previously lived in the next few days.
The third lady agreed and personally had the furniture in the fifth room cleaned and repainted, and also took out the furnishings from the warehouse and put them in place. Only then did she have time to rest.
Less than half an hour into her sleep, she heard outside that the Fifth Young Lady had arrived. She got up again and told Wei Yuyou about the things to be careful about when going to Puci Temple that day. The most important thing was to mention the past events: "When you go there, you have to be patient. Those nuns will say anything to get money. You can't lose your composure in front of your grandmother and Madam Shen..."
Wei Yuyou leaned on her shoulder and answered, then asked the Third Madam: "Will Xiao Qi go with you that day?"
She gritted her teeth: "Why?"
There is no such thing as pure friendship between young girls. Even if they are sisters, there will be occasional clashes between them. What's more, they are not sisters. When the other person is down and out and humble, they will naturally not hesitate to show their sisterly love. However, once someone who has always been inferior to you suddenly surpasses you, you will not feel so good.
Wei Yuyou didn't understand why Wei An's status suddenly rose in just half a year.
The Third Lady keenly sensed the sourness in her words, and quickly spat out the tea in her mouth, reaching out and poking her forehead with a finger: "Don't show yourself like this in front of Grandmother!"
At the same time, he couldn't help but laugh: "What are you comparing with her? What is there to compare..."
Wei Yuyou turned away and said, "Comparison? Grandmother treats her much better than me... She is so popular now, who wouldn't look up to her... I look up to her, why does she follow me... Is she afraid that she won't show that she is favored?"
Spoiled children are like this. The third lady sighed: "What are you talking about?!?"
She couldn't explain to Wei Yuyou why Wei An was so special, so she could only say, "Isn't it because your grandmother thinks highly of her because she's pitiful? Besides, why are you so anxious? Your fifth uncle and fifth aunt will be back soon. Don't you know your fifth aunt's temper?"
Wei Yuyou was a little surprised: "Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu are coming back?"
She was not very clear about what was going on outside, and of course she didn't know that Wei Yangqing's term had expired.
The Third Lady straightened her clothes and said, "That's right. What are you comparing? You have both parents, and they both look at you like the apple of their eye. Just in this aspect, Xiao Qi can't compare at all."
People always like to hear nice words. Wei Yuyou pouted and finally felt better.
