Reborn Houmenhufu

Chapter 23 Marriage is mentioned

Wei Yan took the green bamboo to the Rongxi Hall after taking the medicine. He came a bit late, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that the atmosphere in the hall was not right.

Before he could think of anything, the old lady Zheng who was sitting on the main seat in the hall of Rongxi Hall suddenly waved to him.

He raised his eyebrows and thought that the situation was not good, and the next moment he really heard the old lady's kind voice. "Fourth boy, grandma, I remember you are already sixteen!"

Hearing what the other party said, Wei Yan subconsciously felt bad. Before he could say anything, the old lady Zheng continued to mutter to herself.

"You're not young anymore, it's time to find someone who knows the cold and the hot to take good care of you."

The old lady's voice was not low, and everyone in the hall could hear her words clearly. At this moment, everyone looked at him with a hint of scrutiny, as if they were thinking about what he had done to attract the old lady's attention. He, you must know that the old lady rarely cares about the affairs of the younger generation.

Wei Yan ignored all the sizing eyes around him, but what the old lady said just now made his heart skip a beat.

The other party said such a thing to himself at such a moment, could it be that the other party took a fancy to someone's power and planned to push himself, a bastard who they thought was useless, into marriage?

Suddenly thinking of this possibility, Wei Yan hurriedly said.

"If you go back to grandma, grandson is indeed sixteen years old, but he is not too old, and grandson doesn't plan to start a family just like that."

He spoke directly, but the old lady Zheng raised her brows and let out a low growl in annoyance.

"Absurd! This man should be married at the university and the girl should be married at the university. Four boys, you are already sixteen and it's time to start a family. It's not like you can't have a family just because you don't want to."

After all, the old lady Zheng said again.

"Grandmother met the wife of General Dingyuan's family a few days ago, chatted with her and thought that her concubine is pretty good, thinking that you are also sixteen, so she planned to appoint his concubine for you, could it be you Do you still think that the other party is not good enough for you little bastard?"

If it wasn't for his grandmother who said this, he would definitely have refuted it out loud.

General Dingyuan is also a fourth-rank official, and although he is a concubine, his father is a first-rank prime minister, so why can't he feel that he is not worthy of him?What's more, he doesn't like women at all now.

Wei Yan hadn't spoken yet, but at this moment someone spoke up rudely.

"Fourth brother, why don't you hurry up and agree to such a good thing. You must know that she is the concubine of General Dingyuan's family. I heard that she is as beautiful as a flower, and she is a perfect match for you."

Saying such words, the eldest lady Wei Ning quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, thinking that this bitch Wei Yan should be matched with that five-year-old concubine from General Dingyuan's family.

Seeing Wei Ning's sneaky smile, Wei Yan couldn't help but sneered, then raised his eyebrows and said.

"Little brother, I don't know that big sister has such a peculiar aesthetic, tsk tsk, I'm really worried that if you marry a brother-in-law carefully selected by your grandmother in the future, will you find it difficult to accept his ugly appearance? If so, grandmother Ah, according to my grandson, don't worry about your elder sister's marriage. Eldest sister still has to choose the brother-in-law herself, so that she won't blame you for finding someone unsightly for her in the future."

Wei Ning couldn't help but turn dark when he heard Wei Yan's words. She turned seventeen this year and hasn't found her husband's house yet. Instead, she stayed at home to help the housekeeper so that the old lady Zheng could help her find a high-ranking person. Today, Wei Yan Then it turns out that she has a problem with aesthetics, no wonder he and she were not satisfied with the marriage that Mrs. Huang told her before.

How could Wei Ning let people misunderstand her like this, she said bitterly at this moment.

"Fourth brother, what you said is so unreasonable. Sister, my aesthetics are very normal, so stop talking nonsense!"

"Nonsense? Do I have one?"

Frowning, Wei Yan blinked innocently and asked back.

The old lady Zheng kept quiet when Wei Ning was talking, and only spoke slowly after the two of them had finished their argument.

"Girl Ning, the marriage I found for your brother, grandma, is not something you can discuss. If you are fine, just stay aside and don't make trouble here."

After finishing speaking, the other party looked at Wei Yandao again. "Four boys, grandma knows that you despise the concubine daughter of General Dingyuan's family because she is not good. I plan to tell you about it, so don't disappoint grandma's good intentions."

While talking, the old lady Zheng took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears, as if she was thinking about Wei Yan.

If he hadn't seen through the faces of this group of people in his previous life, Wei Yan might have thought that the old lady was really doing it for his own good, but he can see clearly now, from the other party's eyes that seem to be full of kindness, he only sees Out of calculations.

Sarcasm, Wei Yan thought to himself that General Dingyuan did not know how much he had to pay to let the old lady Zheng come to say this to him.

But how can he be so calculating now!

A cold light flashed in his eyes, Wei Yan suddenly raised his eyebrows and said with emotion.

"Grandmother, grandson also knows that what you said is very reasonable, but grandson still can't agree to go to Dingyuan General's Mansion to propose marriage." "You don't want my words?"

"Grandmother, it's not that my grandson doesn't want to listen to you, but that my grandson has to prepare for the imperial examination recently, so I don't have time to propose a marriage at all."

"The imperial examination?"

Hearing such a word suddenly, the old lady Zheng squinted her eyes and looked Wei Yan up and down, and then suddenly said something as if thinking of something.

"You mean you're going to take the imperial examination this time?"

"Back to grandma, yes."

This affirmative answer made the old lady Zheng start to think, if the four boys really plan to take the imperial examination, then the matter of marrying the Dingyuan General's Mansion can be postponed, but...

Taking a deep look at Wei Yan, the old lady suddenly asked.

"Fourth boy, how sure are you about the imperial examination this time?"

"If you go back to grandma, you can be sure, just wait and see."

Originally, he only planned to take the examination of Juren, but now it seems that if he does not pass the entrance examination, his grandmother, who is ungrateful for profit, will definitely let him associate with the Dingyuan General's Mansion, and he will not let such a thing happen.

Wei Yan's words made the old lady's eyes brighten. There are not many promising young people in this Xiangfu. It can last for decades, when she goes underground, she will be able to explain to that dead ghost.

The old lady's performance was so obvious, Wei Yan was relieved to see this.

Sure enough, the next moment he heard the old lady's kind voice. "Fourth boy, grandma will trust you for the time being. You don't have to worry about anything during this time, just wait for the imperial examination to perform well."

After finishing speaking, she suddenly looked at Wei Ning again, and said something faintly.

"And you, girl Ning, you are seventeen this year. The marriage has not yet been finalized. Grandmother will send a post to hold a flower viewing party in a few days and invite some young talents to come. You must perform well."

After the old lady's words fell, the ladies in the prime minister's mansion hurriedly bowed and chattered back.

Xiangfu Courtyard

After finally leaving the Rongxi Hall, Wei Yan twisted the handkerchief and wiped his sweaty forehead, and then heard the voice of Qingzhu who was serving beside him complaining.

Wei Yan squinted at the other party. "Okay, the old lady is my grandmother after all. If I resist too much, it would be unfilial. Now I have to work hard."

Qingzhu knew this was the reason, but it was worthless for his master, his master was so nice, why would one or two of his relatives want to use him and not allow him to resist, is there such a reason in the world?

Wei Yan didn't know what Qingzhu was thinking, after washing his face and eating breakfast, he picked up the book and read it. In order to control his own destiny, he really had to work hard.

It's night, Houfu

study

An Tianyi told Yinwei to send news about him once every two days. Today, when the news was delivered, he sent another Yinwei to replace him, and then personally summoned Yinweijia who had returned.

The poor Yinweijia hadn't rested for two days, and when he came back, he was summoned by the master, and went directly to the study. When he saw the master, he knelt down and carefully reported the things that the surveillance target found in the past two days. Speak up.

The previous things sounded fine, but An Tianyi's face turned dark when he heard what happened later.

He stood up abruptly, then sat back as if thinking of something, tapped his fingers on the table, and after a while, he gave Yin Weijia a command.

People in the Prime Minister's Mansion dare to treat him like this, it's damned, if that's the case, don't blame him for being rude.

Yin Weijia couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard his master's order, and secretly thought, master, don't get entangled, you really love Young Master Wei, you can come up with such a bad idea, he is really convinced.

Thinking of this, he silently retreated to rest, and after the rest was over, he still had to complete the task.

Yin Weijia left just like that, An Tianyi sat alone in the study, as if thinking of something, he took out a piece of rice paper and picked up the paintbrush. After a while, a painting was finished. He looked deeply at the painting and then Silently put away the painting.
