Chapter 229 Upgraded to Father-in-Law.
Fang Hongzhuo stood there, reporting his net worth as if on trial.
The Fang family was considered a big family, but Fang Hongzhuo had no contact with the family when he joined the army, and the family didn't value them.
Fang Hongzhuo's father retired from injury, and Jin Yiwei retired due to injury because of the money.
There is an old mother, the second elder is taken care of by him at home, there are two younger sisters, and a younger brother.
The younger brother is in the frontier guard, also Jinyiwei.
It's just the Jinyiwei who is responsible for collecting news.
The youngest of the two younger sisters is a pair of twins who are ten years old this year.
Although the family has a large population, Fang Hongzhuo is still the one who is in charge of the family. Now the family lives in a big house with four entrances and four courtyards.
This house is the ancestral home.
After Fang Hongzhuo started his branch, many people came to the door to talk about their relatives, but his family was no match, and the family relied on him for support, and his younger brother couldn't come back even when he was on the border, and the two elders also listened to him, so... .He means what he says.
Wu Youwei said with a straight face: "Our family has many rules...
"I know." Fang Hongzhuo said, "I've asked Wan Xinpeng and Li Qing."
It was because of knowing that the marriage was made. Even though the woman was a concubine, he knew that someone taught her.
If she gets married in the future, she can rest assured that the family will be handed over to her.
"Then I'll think about it." Wu Youwei agreed with a sulky face, but in fact he had to go back and talk to Aunt Haijuan.
Aunt Haijuan was frightened by Wu Sunshi, she was afraid that her daughter's marriage would not be satisfactory, when she first came here, she was worried every day; now she is asking around for unmarried young people.
Alas, poor God, let your parents worry.
Wantong hurriedly sent Fang Hongzhuo away without even leaving him a meal.
He only stayed with Wu Youwei by himself, but it was obvious that Wu Youwei couldn't eat anymore.
"Eat, if you don't want to marry your daughter, don't marry him!" Wantong is not enthusiastic about his right-hand man at all, and he lives a good life as a bachelor.
"It's not that I don't want to marry." Wu Youwei sighed: "It's just that I don't want to."
Although they have only been together for a short time, he really treats them as his daughters. He asks Xu Niang to teach them how to sew, and the housekeeper's wife to teach them how to manage the house and how to read and read the account books.
Wu Youwei even condoned the little thieves secretly teaching them Arabic numerals and account books, hoping that they would not be blind.
Wantong didn't take it seriously: "You will be your daughter after you get married, how old are you? You will be promoted to the old man!"
Wu Youwei...!
"Pfft", Wu Youwei laughed: "Why...why do you say that?
"I just wanted to understand that if Fang Hongzhuo really married Wu Pei'er, then he would have to call you Yuezhang, so Wan Xinpeng and Li Qing could rise in seniority...you must be uncle, right?"
"That's right!" Wu Youwei's brain twitched for a moment: "Then he is a junior!"
Trying a hundred households, he is the junior of Zongqi, hehehe....
But after eating, Wu Youwei was thinking about this matter again: "Do you think he is sincere?"
"It should be. Two years ago, someone offered him a kiss, but he didn't agree." Wan Tao said, "Li Qing's family has no one left. Rose can be the master of the house if she marries; Fang's family relies on Fang Hongzhuo. If Wu Peier marries , can also be the master of the house, how about she herself?"
Means how is the upbringing?
He believed in Wu Youwei but not Wu Sunshi.
Haijuan is an aunt, even if she has some skills, she is not much.
Although he knew about the situation in the backyard from Xu Niang, he still wanted to ask Wu Youwei.
"She's still okay." After teaching for so long, can it still be bad?
In ancient times, especially for women, the square sky in the backyard was their living area. At most, the eldest wife could go out for a walk, and the concubines and aunts could only hold back.
You say they don't fight at home, they are bored at home, but they just want to fight.
"That's fine." Wan Tongdao: "Fang Hongzhuo is now a trial hundred household. If there are no accidents, next year, he will become an official hundred household. After that, he will be the same as me."
Wu Youwei said it was different, your final achievement is to be the Commander of Jin Yiwei.
The highest official position in Jinyiwei.
The two of them didn't do anything that night, they just fell asleep together.
The next day, Wu Youwei returned to Mo Ling Villa in a hurry.
After the rest, I found Aunt Haijuan and Wu Peier over that afternoon.
Wu Peier is in the filial piety, wearing an ivory-white silk shirt with twigs and flowers, a skirt of plum, bamboo and orchid flowers on a stone-green background that sweeps the floor, and a beige-white fluffy brocade tulle.
She has black hair and a unique auspicious cloud bun. Inside the temples are tendrils, wings, three-tailed emeralds, single-drop tassels, and a white magnolia flower hairpin. On her creamy-skinned hands, she wears a gold-encrusted pearl bracelet, and her waist is tied with a lotus-blue peacock-patterned sash. Hanging a month-long white-bottomed Ruyidui embroidered sachet, and wearing apricot-yellow embroidered plum blossom crescent moon shoes on the feet, although the whole person is mostly plain, it looks like a painting.
Susu stood there quietly, and Wu Youwei couldn't bear it at that time: "Pei'er has grown up."
"Father." Wu Pei'er called Wu Youwei in a low voice.
She's 17, she knows a few things, and these days, she's doing fine.
But I also know that at the age of 17, she is a big girl, and when she is a filial piety, it is time to say kiss.
"Hey, sit down." Wu Youwei pointed to the chair next to him: "Other people also sit down and listen."
Aunt Haijuan was very nervous, because in the past when the master came to the backyard, he always talked about marriage, but now they are observing filial piety, and good marriage will not be talked about at this time...
"Yesterday, I went to Peony's." Wu Xinyue, she used her maiden name as a nickname, and her family still used to call her Peony: "She is pregnant, and it has been two months."
The crowd cheered, this is a happy event.
The second thing, Wu Youwei talked about Fang Hongzhuo.
But looking at Wu Pei'er, I found that the little girl looked blank: "I don't really remember...
When Peony got married, it was very lively, in other words, there were many people, and the excitement was lively, but people couldn't remember who went where.
"He said his name was Fang Hongzhuo." Wu Youwei described Fang Hongzhuo's appearance, and this time Wu Pei'er remembered.
The little girl blushed: "I remembered.
"Filial piety will be removed in April next year, and so will you." Wu Youwei saw what the little girl meant, and he knew there was something going on: "He is now starting from the sixth-rank test of a hundred households, but he should be able to be promoted by the end of next year when his political performance will be assessed. A hundred households of the sixth rank." The sixth rank is not small.
Although he is nothing in Beijing, who made him a Jin Yiwei?
Aunt Haijuan's eyes lit up!
Positive six products!
The master back then was only at the fifth rank!
She doesn't quite understand the official rank system, but she also knows that there is not much difference between the sixth rank and the fifth rank.
In fact, it's two grades worse.
Wu Youwei talked about his family's situation, and finally said: "If you want to get engaged, it must be after filial piety."
"Then...then..." Aunt Haijuan became nervous. Next year, next year, her daughter will be due. Can she wait?
She dared not ask for fear of being disappointed.
Wu Pei'er was also sad: "Yes, father.
"He said he could afford to wait." Wu Youwei said, "But I didn't agree. I said I wanted to ask you what you mean. You think it over and answer me, agree or disagree."
"She is a little girl, what can she know?" Aunt Haijuan couldn't wait to jump out: "The words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents... er...
"Shut up." Wu Youwei looked at her coldly: "This is her lifelong event, and I don't want her to have a bad life in the future. With me, they can only nod and agree, and others should not interfere. !"
Aunt Haijuan quickly shut up.
"... Has he...has agreed to all the conditions you mentioned?" Wu Pei'er asked Wu Youwei in a low voice: "Don't take a concubine, you can't beat me and scold me, you can't withhold my marriage..."
"I agree, he already asked Wan Xinpeng and Li Qing." Wu Youwei looked at Wu Pei'er encouragingly: "Then do you like him?"
"I don't know." Wu Pei'er shook her head: "It's just that he did help me a lot that day.
Wu Youwei understood, the two met once in such a noisy environment, what could they know?
Fang Hongzhuo's initial goal was probably Wu Pei'er's upbringing, not her appearance.
In ancient times, the emphasis was on marrying wives and virtuous people, and taking concubines and beauty.
But Wu Youwei couldn't really let the two of them come into contact. The ancient defense of men and women was not a joke. Didn't you see that Hai Rui's daughter was starved to death by her father just after receiving the dry food from the manservant!
Wu Youwei stood up and said: "Then think about it, it doesn't matter, if you don't like it, I'll go and reject him.
"En." Because of Wu Youwei's guarantee, Wu Pei'er was not worried anymore, but Aunt Haijuan was very anxious.
What else do you think about such a good marriage?
On the other hand, Aunt Azhen held her daughter's hand and smiled with joy all over her face. If she could treat Wu Pei'er like this, would her daughter be worse in the future?
Wu Youwei scratched his head after returning. In fact, looking at it carefully, the two were quite a good match, but Wu Pei'er was frightened by Wu Sun's at the time, so the little girl should not have any psychological shadows.
After thinking and thinking, I finally came up with an idea. I asked Butler Lin Su to discuss it... Then I sent someone to send a letter to Wantong...
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, in May, the lively Dragon Boat Festival, the day when the rice dumplings are fragrant.
Wu Youwei invented a new way to eat zongzi, bamboo tube zongzi!
But instead of sending it out, he made some at home.
Whoever comes to give him a boxing gift, he will ask someone to take some back and share it.
Wantong gave Wu Youwei a boxing gift on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.
It was said to be a gift, but there were some expensive daily necessities inside. Butler Lin Su shot several times with his eyes on the bride price and dowry.
Fang Hongzhuo, who was in charge of delivering the gift, became even more nervous.
He thought Butler Lin Su was looking at him!
I have heard for a long time that the people of Moling Villa are very united, and the other party is the real eldest lady of Moling Villa in name, so it is understandable that the housekeeper is picky...
Maybe it was at the behest of my father-in-law?
Maybe!
After Lin Su let people in, he invited Fang Hongzhuo into the living room.
Wu Youwei sat on it, and when he saw Fang Hongzhuo also stood up, he cupped his hands in salute: "Master Fang.
"Master Wu." Fang Hongzhuo hurriedly returned the salute.
Wu Youwei is just a Juren, although he can be arrogant, but he is not. After seeing the ceremony according to the secular etiquette, he sat opposite Fang Hongzhuo: "Why are you here this time?"
"Everyone else is on a business trip, Master Wan has no one to assign, so I'm here." Fang Hongzhuo really wanted to wipe off his sweat, but he didn't dare.
"Oh, just right, I made rice dumplings in bamboo tubes here. They are delicious and convenient. Help me take some back." Wu Youwei said with a smile: "There are some other things, I have to trouble you to go to the warehouse."
"It's okay, it's okay." Fang Hongzhuo said: "I just happened to bring a car and a groom, it's very convenient, and it just so happens that I don't have to run an empty car.
Wu Youwei was very satisfied, and chatted with him here, but it didn't involve the issue of marriage, which made Fang Hongzhuo feel very uneasy.
After a while, Butler Lin Su came, nodded to Wu Youwei without any trace, and then said to Fang Hongzhuo: "Master Fang, please come with me, the storehouse needs you to go and count the gifts, after all, they are all precious thing."
"Okay, okay." Fang Hongzhuo hurriedly put down his teacup. Wantong sent him this time, but he didn't have a steward, or a steward of Wanfu. He came alone with four coachmen. ...It seems that I don't know much about words...
