A Blessed Daughter

  Chapter 233 My mother prefers your sister

   "Yeah." Wei Ruo had already recognized it when he was in the small courtyard of the Xu family.

   Madam Tongzhi said again: "Feng Yuan has been a worry-free child for me since he was a child. Whether it is studying or doing other things, I don't need to worry about it. He is not as irritable as his sister."

  Wei Ruo responded with a smile. She really didn't know how to respond to Mrs. Tongzhi's words.

  No matter how nervous she is, she should feel the meaning that Mrs. Tongzhi wants to convey.

   Wei Qingwan on the side secretly bit her lip, Madam Tongzhi's attitude towards Wei Ruo once again confirmed what Xu Yaojun said.

  Madam Tongzhi is interested in Wei Qingruo, and wants Wei Qingruo to be Xu's daughter-in-law!

  The Xu family is a big family in Taizhou Prefecture. Xu Fengyuan is also handsome, and like his elder brother, he is a student of Anzhou Academy, and he will take the provincial examination this autumn, and his future is limitless.

  Wei Qingruo was brought up by a family of merchants, and learned all the vulgar habits in the countryside, but he can still have such good luck. Wei Qingwan was somewhat dissatisfied.

   Not far away, Xu Fengyuan, Wei Yichen and other students from Anzhou College started a competition with Lu Yuhong.

  Lu Yuhong was the first one to go up, every arrow was sure to hit, and his heroic demeanor earned praise from the students again and again.

   These compliments are all sincere, not just compliments for Lu Yuhong's identity.

  Lu Yuhong's horse riding and shooting ability, not to mention comparing with them, even in the capital, there are few opponents.

  With Lu Yuhong Zhuyu in front, the performance of the others is much inferior.

  However, Xu Fengyuan still stood out from the crowd, and won the house with a result that was extremely close to Lu Yuhong.

  Riding and archery is Wei Yichen's weakness. He has not performed well in this area, so his performance today is mediocre.

  Lu Yuhong looked at Wei Yichen who came back on horseback and said, "Your Wei family ancestor was a famous general who founded the country, and your father was also a general who fought in all directions. Why didn't you inherit the blood of a general?"

  Wei Yichen replied a little ashamedly: "I was stupid and failed to inherit the riding and shooting skills of my father and ancestors."

   "It's a pity." Lu Yuhong has a straight temper, saying whatever he wants, regardless of how the people who hear his words will feel.

  Wei Yichen accepted Lu Yuhong's evaluation of himself frankly: "Yes, it is indeed a pity. My father once said that when I was young."

   But it’s better now, my younger brother Yi Lin has recently shown a good talent and interest in martial arts, if he wants to cultivate it well, he is likely to become the one who will inherit his father’s mantle.

  After the competition, everyone took a short rest. Wei Yichen looked towards the pavilion in the distance, looking for the figures of his mother and sisters among the crowd.

  I saw that my mother was chatting with wives from other families, my sister Wanwan was also talking with a lady from a family of about the same age, and only my sister Ruoer was sitting in the corner looking at something and looking at it.

  Xu Fengyuan came over and said to Wei Yichen, "Brother Wei is looking at the two younger sisters?"

  Wei Yichen nodded.

   "I heard that Miss Wei was raised in the countryside since she was a child?" Xu Fengyuan asked again.

   "Yes." Wei Yichen nodded, and then added, "Although my eldest sister was raised in the countryside, she is as knowledgeable as my second sister."

   "I can see it. I have seen the talent of the big girl just now." Xu Fengyuan agreed.

   Immediately afterwards Xu Fengyuan said again: "To be honest, my mother mentioned to me before today that she is interested in the eldest sister."

  Hearing this, Wei Yichen looked back at Xu Fengyuan in surprise.

Xu Fengyuan was also a little embarrassed, but continued: "To be honest, I was still a little bit resistant before today, but it was because it was my mother's will, so I didn't want to disobey. Then today, under the arrangement of my mother, I was far away. I met your eldest sister twice."

  Xu Fengyuan was also very frank, and did not hide from Wei Yichen that today's arrangement was intentional.

   Wei Yichen didn't know how to answer the conversation.

  Xu Fengyuan continued: "But after what I saw today, I don't seem to reject my mother's arrangement so much."

   Obviously, Xu Fengyuan is satisfied with Wei Ruo he saw today.

  Although marriage is the order of the parents, if the other party is a girl like the eldest daughter of the Wei family, it seems that they are not so resistant.

Wei Yichen said: "I can't decide this matter, it depends on what my parents want. However, I heard from my father that there is no rush to let the two younger sisters get married. They are only fourteen this year, and my father still wants her to get married. There are many people who will be married for two years."

  Xu Fengyuan explained: "I know, my mother also said that even if it is settled, it is just a marriage first."

   Talking about it, Xu Fengyuan bowed to Wei Yichen and bowed: "In the future, Brother Wei will need to say a few more kind words for me in front of the big girl."

   Wei Yichen's mood is a bit complicated. Based on his understanding of Xu Fengyuan, he is a good match, but the elder sister has only returned for a short time, and he has never thought of getting married so soon.

   But as Xu Fengyuan said, it was the order of his parents and the words of the matchmaker, and he had no control over it.

  ###

  The one-day outing was over, and Yunshi, Wei Qingwan, and Wei Ruo returned to Xiaowei's Mansion in a carriage.

   Not long after, Wei Yichen also came back.

   He shouldn't have come home at this time, but today he has something to do, so he made a special trip to the house.

  After returning to the mansion, Wei Yichen went to see Yun Shi, and told Yun Shi the news he had heard from Xu Fengyuan.

   "Are you serious?" Yun's face showed joy.

   "Does mother think this is a good thing?" Wei Yichen asked with a frown.

"Naturally, it is a good thing. Although the Xu family is not a family of meritorious service, it has a profound heritage. Now many people in the family are officials. Although Mr. Xu is only in the position of an acquaintance, the future is good. It is not impossible to transfer to the capital in the future." Yes. Mr. Xu's studies are good, and his character is not bad, otherwise you wouldn't have played with him." Yun said.

  Wei Yichen couldn't refute it. What his mother said was true, and the Xu family was a good match.

only…

   "Mother, father probably meant that he didn't want the two younger sisters to get married so soon." Wei Yichen said.

   "Don't worry, I said this earlier, I won't marry your sisters off so early, but if it can be said, it will be a good thing." Yun said.

  Misses from aristocratic families are everywhere who make marriages early.

  Wei Yichen couldn't say anything more, so he had to say: "Mother should ask the elder sister more about what she means. We owe her a debt, and we can't help her with other things. We have to let her make up her own mind about the marriage."

   "You child, since ancient times, marriage matters have been ordered by your parents. How can you listen to the girl's own ideas? What can she understand about marriage matters? It's better to let your parents decide." Yun said.

  While talking, Yun brought the topic to Wei Yichen again: "If it wasn't for fear of delaying your studies, mother should have taken care of you."

   I seem to be in the sun. . Sore throat. .
