Peng De has always been dignified with his children, and he would have stopped there after giving them instructions. However, Mrs. Peng was afraid that her son would have a stubborn temper, so she calmed down and patiently coaxed Peng Caichen to be obedient.
It's nothing more than a matter of marrying a wife. First, you should hold her in high esteem for a few years. After a few years, when your goal is achieved and you have children, if you still don't like her, then you can find a way to marry someone you like. If that doesn't work, you can just take in a few more concubines. Why is it worth getting angry? Children are children. Madam Peng laughed and shook her head, and earnestly warned her son: "Don't be stubborn with your father at this time. I told you before about the benefits. She's just a woman. If you don't like her, you can just have a few more people to serve her..."
Peng Caichen had a blank expression on his face, but he felt aggrieved in his heart.
Wei An was so unbearable and unruly-----she had no eyes for anyone at all! When he went to pick up Peng Lingwei that day, Wei An didn't even look at him once from beginning to end!
But who does she think she is?!
Young people always have extra self-esteem. He claims to be a son of a famous family, a handsome and noble young man, but Wei An, who is just a princess in name only, dares to look down on him...
He was unwilling in his heart, but he also knew that what his parents said made sense. He frowned, hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "I understand."
Although he was extremely reluctant, Peng Caichen was not a shy person. Since he had promised his parents, even if he was unwilling in his heart, he still wanted to do things to the best of his ability. He returned to his room and thought for a while, then asked someone to find his sister.
Peng Lingwei had more contact with the Wei family, so Peng Caichen asked her many questions about the Wei family.
But Peng Lingwei herself knew very little - she did grow up in Nanchang City and had frequent interactions with the Wei family, but the problem was that Wei An did not grow up in Nanchang.
She could only tell Peng Caichen everything she knew.
Princess Changning described Wei An as a very bad person, naughty and selfish. She also talked about all the bad things Wei An did when he was a child. Finally, she sighed, "But luck is something that is hard to explain. It is very mysterious. You see, in the past, Ah Long was Princess Changning's treasure. But what about now?"
Now that Princess Changning had lost her power, she couldn't even stay in the Wei family anymore and went straight back to Prince Zhennan's Mansion.
Who could have imagined this when the mother and daughter were in their heyday
Peng Caichen seemed to be thinking about something.
Of course he knew Wei Yulong. They had played together when they were young. This girl did not leave much impression on him, but she was much better than Wei An.
He sneered, retracted his thoughts, and asked her: "So you have been so close to the Wei family recently, but you haven't gained anything? After all, you have been following them for so long, so you should know something about Wei Qi, right?"
Peng Lingwei was holding a nougat in her hand. She shook her head in annoyance when she heard this: "Speaking of this, I really have nothing to tell you - this Princess Shouning is really a difficult person to serve. You said I followed her around, but she never said a few useful words to me from beginning to end..."
Peng Caichen had a general understanding of Wei An's character. Seeing that he could not get anything out of his sister, he went out and went to find Wei Jie. He and Wei Jie were quite familiar with each other, and after asking him indirectly, he finally got some information out of him.
Wei Jie's evaluation of Wei An was not as bad as imagined.
It is said that Wei An seems difficult to get along with, but in fact he is a soft-hearted person and is quite nice to his family.
Peng Caichen listened with a smile and came up with an idea in his mind.
When the Wei family's engagement day came, when they went to the Chen family for the engagement banquet, he found an opportunity and asked his sister to send a kite to Wei An.
It is an ingeniously constructed butterfly-shaped kite with a small golden bell on each wing. It is said that it can help maintain balance and allow the kite to fly higher.
Peng Lingwei was very envious and whispered to her in her ear: "My brother said that it took Master Zhang more than ten days to make the frame of this kite. It is much more stable than ordinary kites. I begged my brother for a long time, but he refused to give it to me. He said that you saved me and I should repay you."
The tone is soft and cute.
The words were very pleasant to hear, which not only showed that Peng Caichen did not fail to know the rules and make private transactions, but also that he was a man who knew how to repay kindness. If it were another girl, no matter what, she would definitely not have any ill feelings towards this person.
Wei An did not accept it. "I have already thanked you for the last time. You were lost because of me. We made amends later and we are just making up for our mistakes. How can we deserve your thanks again and again?"
Chen Mianmian was already dressed up. Peng Lingwei looked at her from a distance. She was anxious to see her bride-to-be, so she said, "It's not a very expensive thing. It's just a little gift from my brother. What's wrong with you accepting it?"
Wei An lowered his eyes and was about to answer when Xianrong County Lady, who had just come over, asked curiously, "What is not valuable?"
Today she was wearing a chiffon blouse with a silver-red pattern of hundreds of butterflies, and a beige sixteen-panel Xiang skirt underneath. As she walked, the butterflies on her upper body echoed with the peonies embroidered with gold thread on her skirt, and they glowed with a faint golden light, looking so dazzling that people dared not look at her closely.
Peng Lingwei usually felt that she was a head shorter than him when she saw her, but after what happened at Puci Temple, she felt that she was just so-so, so she stopped courting her like before and replied calmly, "Nothing, I gave Princess Shouning a small toy and wanted her to play with it."
The Fairy Lady held a golden feather fan in her hand, revealing only her eyes. She uttered a soft "oh" and looked at Chen Mianmian over there: "I just heard Mianmian looking for you, why don't you go over and take a look?"
Peng Lingwei was originally going to go over to take a look, but when she saw that Lady Xianrong was trying to get rid of her, she knew what to do. She glanced at Wei An and moved towards Chen Mianmian.
The Lady of Xianrong County stood in front of Wei An and glanced at her. She raised her eyebrows at her, and said softly with a condescending and barely perceptible resentment, "Thank you for what happened last time."
From the last incident with Chu Jingzong to now, Prince Duan has been demoted to Prince Duan, and Princess Changying's Mansion has completely lost its reputation. Apart from sending an ambiguous gift once, Princess Chang'an's Mansion has acted as if nothing happened from beginning to end, and there has been no reaction at all.
It had been nearly half a month since the incident. This was the first time that Lady Xianrong had seen Wei An, and also the first time that she had mentioned this matter.
She thanked him, then immediately frowned and looked away: "Thank you..."
