Peng Lingwei looked at Wei An's face and laughed again: "My sixth brother likes to drink. He always likes to search for wine recipes everywhere. He once spent a lot of money to find the secret recipe of peach blossom wine from the Bai family in Shaanxi, and was severely punished by my father..."
Peng Liu, Peng Caichen.
When the Peng family was so enthusiastic about her in her previous life, they dug a huge pit for her.
This pit destroyed her family and left her without the chance to be a mother. She was broken beyond recognition and paid an extremely painful price.
In the previous life, he wanted to work for the King of Chu and frame the Wei family with a crime so that the King of Linjiang would be accused of killing his own people. What about now
What else can the Wei family do to the Peng family
Or, what other purpose does the Peng family have in being so close to her in this life
Wei An had no expression on his face, so Peng Lingwei started laughing again: "Speaking of this, there are even funnier things. After that, my sixth brother no longer dared to be idle, but his love of wine has not changed. Although he likes to drink, he is very sensible and never gets drunk. Others gave him a nickname, 'A Thousand Cups Without Getting Drunk'."
There was pride and pride in her tone as she glanced at Wei An.
Peng Caichen was indeed outstanding enough. Since his family had no title, he worked very hard and studied. He passed the imperial examination at the age of twelve and was a top-notch material. As soon as he entered the capital, he became a student under Pei Zhengying of the Hedong Academy. His reputation as a genius had already spread.
It is also because the children of the Peng family are so outstanding that Queen Fang is so afraid of Concubine De.
Wei An curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
Wei Yupo sighed somewhat melancholy.
Of course, she could hear that Peng Lingwei was praising her brother in her words, but she could also see that Wei An's attitude was perfunctory, or not even perfunctory - Wei An simply didn't take Peng Caichen seriously at all. Peng Lingwei said so much, but Wei An didn't ask even a single extra question.
She had heard her father talk about Peng Caichen, saying that if Wei Jie had half of his intelligence, the Wei family would have hope, such an outstanding young man, with such a good family background, and so humble and polite... ..
But the things she couldn't expect, people didn't take them to heart at all.
Peng Lingwei couldn't get a response from Wei An no matter what she said. She couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. She thought that Wei An didn't know how to appreciate her, so she refused to say anything more. She didn't want to. Her brother thought that Wei An, a fool who only knew how to show off, was not worthy of him! How rare!
Wei An's ears finally had a moment of peace and quiet. He walked around a few courtyards and followed the bluestone path to the grape trellis. He saw Chen Mianmian at a glance and called out to her with a smile.
Chen Mianmian had been waiting for a while, and when she saw her, she came forward with surprise: "The nun said that my birthday conflicts with my grandmother's ceremony this year, and it would be bad to go and offend my grandmother, so I can't go to the front. I'm really sorry for not welcoming you."
There was no conflict at all; it was obvious that he wanted her to stay behind.
Wei An smiled and shook his head: "With the relationship between our two families, why should we care about these things?"
He accompanied her to look under the grape trellis, and carefully instructed people to pick a few bunches of grapes and have them wash them.
Peng Lingwei was talking to Wei Yupo when she saw this and exclaimed, "Are you really going to use it to make wine?"
"If we want to make wine, how can these be enough?" Wei An smiled and said, "Let someone wash them and eat them."
Peng Lingwei couldn't help feeling a little bored. She glanced at the stone table under the grape trellis and was a little disappointed: "So are we just going to sit here and do nothing?"
Chen Mianmian felt a little embarrassed. She knew what she was here for, but she couldn't let others know. She looked at Wei An with some embarrassment.
Wei An squeezed her hand, as if he was thinking. After a moment, he smiled at Peng Lingwei and said, "The ritual they are performing up front will take at least two hours. It is indeed a bit long, and it is boring to sit like this. How about this, Sister Mian Mian and I go ask Master Jing An. I have been here before, and I heard that they have a high platform and a waterfall halfway up the mountain, where we can fly kites. After asking, we can ask someone to go up front to ask the elders for their opinion. If the elders agree, we can go together. How about it?"
Neither Peng Lingwei nor Wei Yupo had any bad intentions, so Wei An smiled and led Chen Mianmian around the corridor and out of the small garden.
Chen Mianmian was so nervous that her palms were sweating. She glanced back and held Wei An's hand even tighter. She asked softly, "Fourth Young Master..." She paused and asked nervously, "I mean, your fourth brother, what kind of person is he?"
Chen Mianmian's marriage has been delayed. She had already reached the age of 15 last year, but now she is sixteen and is only starting to talk about marriage. By the time she completes the six ceremonies, she will be at least eighteen years old.
This time Queen Fang also sighed, and told her mother that it would be a good idea to tell the Wei family about it.
She knew that her aunt the Queen never listened to her family, and now that she started to agree with her family, it was even more clear that this matter was going to be accomplished.
But she had never met Wei Jie.
Princess Changning had a bad reputation, and she was very worried that Wei Jie would have the same bad temper as Princess Changning.
After passing the small garden, there was a long corridor connected to the stone wall. Wei An saw a moon-white robe at the end and responded softly: "Anyway, he is a good person."
Chen Mianmian lowered her head, not even noticing the person in front of her, and asked hesitantly in a low voice: "Then... then does he have a good temper?"
She was only worried about his bad temper. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, my fourth brother has a very good temper..."
As they were talking, they had already reached the end of the corridor. Wei Jie's face just happened to show up. When he saw Wei An, he hurried forward and said, "Seventh sister, the matter you want to ask has been taken care of..."
Chen Mianmian's face was so red that it was about to bleed. She lowered her head and mustered up the courage to look up quickly.
He heaved a sigh of relief at the first sight - he wasn't bad looking. Not only that, he was quite good-looking. And when he spoke to Wei An, his voice was deep and pleasant, and his tone was gentle. He probably wasn't a man with an impatient temper.
No wonder my parents are so satisfied.
She pulled Wei'an's hand, indicating that she had finished reading.
Wei An nodded to Wei Jie and asked another question: "Are there no other guests coming?"
If there were no other uninvited guests before, then the Peng family would probably be the only surprise in this ceremony.
Could it be that the thing that Zhao Qi reminded him to be careful of is really related to the Peng family
Wei Jie was startled, then shook his head: "Later, Madam Mei also came. Apart from Madam Mei, there were no other guests. The road to the mountain gate has been closed."
