He himself was not quite sure, but since the other party had this intention, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it - the Peng family was also a famous and prestigious family with a good family tradition.
Moreover, in Nanchang, he had a very good relationship with the Peng family.
There is nothing wrong with being related by blood. Even the children in the Peng family are not useless playboys. It's just... He frowned.
After all, I feel that there is something missing, as all the good things seem to have fallen on Wei An's head.
He ran around for her, risking so much danger, but in the end he ended up being unpopular with both sides.
Old Madam Wei hummed, and looked at Feicui who was holding a small hammer to peel walnuts for her to make walnut juice, and said, "If that's the case, then fine. But, An An's marriage is probably not up to us now. There are still the emperor and the queen above, so you should be clear-headed. No matter how good the Peng family is, we can't just make a decision and agree to it."
Wei Yangqing agreed straightforwardly.
He had been very busy recently and had no time to take care of the affairs of the harem. After Old Madam Wei had finished her instructions, he turned around and left He'an Courtyard. After thinking for a while, he met Peng De at the Ministry the next day and asked him with a smile, "I heard that thanks to your family, our family has received many rewards from the Empress Defei. Thank you very much."
Peng De had a simple and honest face, and when he smiled, he smiled. He was a completely honest and upright gentleman. Hearing this, he waved his hands and said, "The reward given by the queen is her kindness. How can you say that it is due to my family's blessing? Please stop bringing trouble to our family."
He added, "But my husband really likes the princess very much. He says that the princess is very quick-witted at such a young age, and is smart and kind. She is really likable." He shook his head and laughed, "He wishes he could marry the princess as his daughter-in-law!"
Both of them were grown men, so when it came to marriage, they were much less complicated than women. Peng Desu stroked his beard and said seriously, "Speaking of this, I really want to be your relative. Since we are talking about this, why don't we arrange a marriage? Our two families are close friends and know each other well..."
Wei Yangqing was somewhat tempted, but he remembered the old lady Wei's instructions, so he smiled and declined: "You don't know my situation yet? How can I have the energy to talk about this now? Besides, the other daughters are fine, but An An's marriage must be approved by my old lady. Forget it, don't make it difficult for me."
Peng De didn't ask any further questions, but just smiled.
When he got home, he called his son and told him in front of his wife: "This time, on my birthday, you should spend more time with Wei Qi. Don't always have a dead face and don't know how to adapt. Little girls always like handsome men. You better behave!"
Peng Caichen didn't expect that his father called him to talk about Wei An, and he frowned subconsciously.
He originally looked down on Wei An.
I feel that people who are so aggressive seem petty.
After the incident at Puci Temple, he felt that Wei An was even more hateful. In his opinion, no matter what happened, it would not be the fault of one person.
If Wei An hadn't failed to cultivate good fortune, how could he have brought trouble to himself and his family everywhere
Such a troublemaker, but his father and mother still yearn for him so much. He asked in a calm voice: "Does it have to be this way?"
Peng De took a sip of tea and looked at his son coldly: "What do you mean it has to be this way? What's wrong with you?"
I have paid so much to get rid of the influence of the King of Chu, and my family's assets are almost gone. And now I am involved in the affairs of Fujian... If I don't hold on to Wei An, the Dingbei Marquisate and the King of Zheng, how can I get out of this predicament
He frowned, irritation and anger rising in his heart: "It's fine if you say it in front of us, but if you let it slip in front of the Wei family again, I'll break your legs!"
Madam Peng's eyebrows jumped, and she quickly put on a smile: "What are you talking about, Master? Caichen has always been an obedient person. When has he ever let us down or made us worry? He just complained on the surface..."
She also felt aggrieved for her son, but indeed, compared with the things he was about to get, no grievances could be considered grievances. The fate of the entire family now depended on the Wei family. If she didn't tie up the Wei family's ship, how could she ensure that her own ship would not capsize
For this, Wei An has a thousand faults, but also a thousand good things.
She coughed to hint to her son: "Since I asked you to do it, just go. Why are you talking so much?"
Then he smiled and changed the subject: "By the way, Princess Shouning looks mature and steady, but she is a girl with her own little thoughts. I heard that she likes flying kites very much. You should spend more time on her."
Peng De raised his eyebrows: "Did you hear that?"
Peng Caichen responded reluctantly with a "yes".
Peng De frowned and wanted to say something to him, but when he saw his wife's expression, he gave up and scolded him to leave. He leaned back on the chair and frowned, saying, "Tell him to behave himself and don't make any mistakes!"
Madam Peng responded meekly. Seeing that he was more irritable than usual, she advised him, "Master, there is no need to be so angry. If it really doesn't work... don't we still have Qinghe in our hands? With this, we are not afraid that they will not bow down. They pretend to be bright and clear on the surface, but in fact they are trying to hide the truth... We have this fatal handle on them in our hands, so we are not afraid that they will escape from our palms. Don't worry..."
Peng De finally felt relieved. After a while, he drank a sip of tea under the persuasion of his wife. He shook his head and sighed, "You don't know, we were deeply involved in the old case of the Ming family. If it weren't for our help, the gang in Yunnan..." He coughed and felt a severe itch in his throat. It took him a long time to recover. He lowered his voice and said, "How did those people get the weapons? Now that the prince is in trouble, I want to get out of here clean, but it's not that easy..."
"Which of these matters doesn't require a lot of money to settle?" He frowned, "Besides, the queen is pressing us hard now... In the past, we had no one above us, but now the queen is so hardworking and has given birth to a little prince, and he looks better than her sick body... We are stupid, not helping our own people? But if we help our own people, don't we need helpers and support?"
Mrs. Peng's heart skipped a beat. She didn't care about the future, she only cared about the past, about wiping away all traces - those people had big appetites, if they continued to be like a bottomless pit, the Peng family's little wealth would not be enough to fill it. They really needed the huge fortune behind Wei An...
