Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

Mrs. Zhang of the British government was not generally strict when she taught Zhang Guifen.

As a result, whatever friends Zhang Guifen wants to make or who she wants to get along with, she has to get Mrs. Zhang's consent.

Speaking of which, this is understandable.

After all, the 'Beijing Circle' is too chaotic. Maybe today this family is extremely prominent, but tomorrow it will end up being slaughtered.

Therefore, for a noble family, making careless friends may lead to trouble.

Now Zhang Guifen is strict with Sister Jing and Brother Zhuang about making friends, and it is also out of this consideration.

However, Wei Yuan would not think about it that much.

For him, he has been walking on thin ice with trepidation until now. If even his children have to be cautious about who they want to make friends with, then isn't the so-called high position just empty talk?

He just wanted Sister Jing to grow up happily. Even if Sister Jing did not want to get married and have children in the future, the Champion House could still support her for the rest of her life.

When Wei Yuan was drunk, the groom Pan Shu welcomed the bride into the house.

With the support of Sister Xiaojing, Wei Yuan staggered slightly and walked to the gate of the Korean Duke's Mansion to see the bride.

Even though Wei Yuan was still relatively conscious, he was already walking a little unsteadily.

He didn't want to be supported by his servants, so he was willing to let Sister Jing help him walk.

Sister Jing was so small, how could she move with support? Her whole body was leaning on Wei Yuan's back, and she felt more and more strenuous, but she didn't say a word of complaint. At most, she said,

"Dad, why do you drink so much?"

Wei Yuan chuckled and held her in his arms without letting Sister Jing hold her, "Come on, Sister Jing, daddy will take you to see the bride!"

When many people saw Wei Yuan approaching, both men and women wisely stepped out of the way.

After Wei Yuan passed by, those people would shout respectfully,

"Your Majesty is well."

"Greetings to the Marquis."

"."

Wei Yuan just nodded towards those people.

"Sister Jing, do you want to see the bride?"

Wei Yuan kissed Sister Jing's little face in his arms. The bearded Sister Jing's face hurt a little, but she seemed to be used to it. She smiled sweetly and said, "I want to see it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yuan knelt down and motioned for Sister Jing to ride on his neck.

Sister Jing rode up very familiarly, wrapping her little hands around Wei Yuan's neck.

At this time, the groom and the bride had already come together with hydrangeas.

Wei Yuan deliberately teased Sister Jing, "Does the bride look good?"

While speaking, Pan Shu glanced at Wei Yuan specifically and smiled at him as a greeting.

Sister Jing stared at the bride in a splendid red dress and said without blinking, "It looks good!"

Wei Yuan laughed and said, "When Sister Jing grows up in the future, she will definitely look even better than here."

Sister Jing said with a smile: "I don't want to get married, I want to accompany my father every day."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan felt warm in his heart.

At this time, Zhang Guifen, who had already followed the bride into the mansion, quietly walked around behind Sister Jing and said sternly:

"How can there be so many people riding on your father's neck? Come down quickly."

When Sister Jing heard it was her mother's voice, she immediately shivered.

Wei Yuan also turned around subconsciously, "Where's Girl Ming?"

Zhang Guifen said: "You should go to the backyard."

Then, she smelled the smell of alcohol on Wei Yuan's body and frowned:

"The wedding banquet hasn't even started yet, why are we eating so much wine first?"

Wei Yuan chuckled, "Sister Jing asked me to drink it."

When Sister Jing heard this, she pouted, a little aggrieved.

Zhang Guifen glared at her, "Why don't you advise your father to drink less?"

Sister Jing has troubles that she cannot express and wants to cry.

When the wedding banquet was about to end, Wei Yuan insisted on going shopping with Sister Jing in his arms. Zhang Guifen was worried that he had eaten too much wine, so she had to follow the father and daughter for a stroll.

As for Brother Zhuang, he will have to go to the palace for a banquet later. It is the Queen Mother's order. She wants to see Brother Zhuang and Sister Jing by name.

Sister Jing didn't want to go, so she had to let Brother Zhuang go.

Minglan had nothing to do and was about to go home, but unexpectedly, she was blocked by Gu Tingye on the way.

She opened the curtain, looked at the Ningyuan Marquis's carriage in front of her, and said loudly:

"Gu Tingye, what do you mean?"

Afterwards, Gu Tingye got off the carriage and got directly into Minglan's carriage.

This scene caught Minglan off guard, "Gu Tingye, you are rude!"

Gu Tingye said: "Anyway, I am often beaten by your uncle, and every time I have a bruised nose and face. I have thought about it this time. At worst, I will be beaten by your uncle again. As long as I don't die, it will be fine."

Minglan was furious, "You broke into my carriage so rashly, what if my two sisters were here?"

Gu Tingye said: "I have already inquired clearly. The fourth sister went to have tea with some women, and your fifth sister accompanied you. Otherwise, how could I dare to get on your carriage?"

Minglan wanted to leave the carriage, but was stopped by Gu Tingye.

She clenched her little fists, and tears appeared in her eyes.

"You got on my carriage. What will the people in the capital say about me in the future? Say that I am a libertine, seducing you regardless of face? Do you still want my reputation?"

As he spoke, tears started to flow.

Gu Tingye was a little panicked, and said quickly: "Don't cry yet, I have already thought about it. I like you, and if I marry you, others will not be able to gossip."

Minglan looked at him with red eyes, "I said before that if you really like me, you shouldn't make things difficult for me. It shows that you don't really like me. You only want to marry me because of my uncle." It’s Wei Yuan.”

Gu Tingye immediately said: "You underestimate me too much. Don't say that your uncle is a champion. Even if your uncle is His Majesty the Emperor, I won't marry you if I don't want to. I will marry you just because I like you." ”

Minglan said: "You keep saying that you like me and like me, but you still make things difficult for me. If this is what you like and like, then I would rather not have it."

Gu Tingye said: "I really like you. I swear, if you enter the door of my Gu family, you will be the only one for the rest of my life. I will only listen to you in all matters in the family. How about that?"

Minglan turned her head away, unwilling to say anything more.

Gu Tingye added: "Anyway, this is the situation now. Everyone in the capital knows that I am interested in you, so no one dares to pursue you anymore. Except for me, no one else is worthy of marrying you."

After that, Gu Tingye left the carriage.

Minglan was so angry that she didn't know what to do.

After returning home, she came to Shou'an Hall and told Mrs. Sheng what happened today.

The old man asked: "What do you think of Ning Yuanhou? If you really don't like it, just tell your uncle the truth. Your uncle has loved you since you were a child and will not let you do anything against your will."

Minglan sighed, "I know that. At first I had some affection for Gu Tingye, but he is too domineering and always thinks he can get whatever he wants. I can't stand it."

The old lady smiled and said: "In this regard, you are far inferior to your aunt."

Minglan was puzzled, "What does this have to do with my aunt?"

The old lady spoke earnestly: "Who is your uncle? A talent that only comes out once every hundred years. How can any woman easily control such a person? But your aunt can."

Minglan had only thought that her uncle and aunt had a harmonious relationship before, but now that she heard what the old lady said, she seemed to have thought of something, so she asked:

"Grandma, can you tell me more about it?"

Old Mrs. Sheng nodded and said bluntly: "Apart from your aunt's identity, does it mean that your aunt really doesn't have any skills as a husband?"

"I heard from your mother that your aunt treats your uncle like a needle hidden in the cotton. She is usually obedient to your uncle, but as soon as your aunt is displeased, the needle hidden in the cotton will naturally be exposed. ”

"You can tell something from your uncle's concubinage. Your aunt should have known in advance that your uncle had found a woman in Jiangnan, but your aunt never told or asked about it until your aunt sent someone to Jiangnan. Your uncle just realized it."

"But don't think that doing this will make your uncle displeased. In fact, your aunt has shown all the weaknesses of a woman and made your uncle feel indebted."

"Learn more from your aunt. That girl's methods are extraordinary."

Minglan asked curiously: "Grandma means that I can be like my aunt, hiding a needle in the wool to deal with Gu Tingye?"

Just when she said this, she felt something was wrong, and said, "I heard that grandma also wants to marry Gu Tingye tomorrow?"

Old Mrs. Sheng said: "What others tell you never reaches your heart. Just do whatever you want. Don't listen to others when it comes to marriage."

Minglan said curiously: "They say parents order matchmakers, but grandma doesn't seem to care about this."

Mrs. Sheng responded: "If I cared about this, I wouldn't have married your grandfather back then."

——

The next day, after Wei Yuan found out what Gu Tingye had done to Minglan, he beat him up as expected.

Gu Tingye had already been mentally prepared for this beating.

That evening.

Wei Yuan invited Sheng Hong, Ming Lan and others to come to his house for dinner.

Because Sheng Hong and Wei Yuan were familiar with each other and knew Wei Yuan's temper, they never mentioned state affairs when their relatives and friends were having dinner.

And Sheng Hong was a civil servant. When he usually chatted with people, he usually talked about poems, songs, articles, calligraphy, etc., but what about Wei Yuan? A martial artist, good at art of war, calligraphy? Can you understand?

Even if he could understand it, I'm afraid he wouldn't be interested!

However, what Sheng Hong didn't expect was that Wei Yuan actually took the initiative to talk about some cultural matters.

"Have you heard of the poem "Jiangchengzi·Hunting in Mizhou" written by Su Shi recently?"

Nowadays, Su Shi is a new star in the literary world of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It can be said that everyone is familiar with all the literati who are proficient in poetry and poetry.

Sheng Hong said: "I've heard it before. It's a frontier poem. In the past two years, the Su master has written many poems like this."

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "Now Su Shi has gone to Yanbian again. After a while, when he returns to Beijing, the third child of your family can study with Su Shi for a period of time. It will also increase his knowledge and knowledge. It is better than if he is here." Nothing to do at home.”

Now Su Shi can be called a great scholar, but who is Sheng Changfeng? Which great scholar can like it?

Let Sheng Changfeng follow Su Shi for a period of time. In the future, regardless of whether he is an official or not, if Sheng Changfeng is said to be Su Shi's disciple or protégé, it will be a walking business card.

This business card may not help Sheng Changfeng prosper in the court, but it will definitely give him a unique advantage in the literary world.

Being able to have a clear name in the literary world will bring glory to the Sheng family!

Sheng Hong was tempted and asked cautiously: "Marquis Wei, can that Su family have a crush on my Feng'er?"

Zhang Guifen, who was sitting aside, smiled and said, "Perhaps you don't know that the Su family member always comes to the house to meet my officials every time he returns to the capital, and he also calls my officials 'Brother Wei'."

ah?

The Su family actually calls Marquis Wei Big Brother Wei?

When did Su Shi get involved with Wei Yuan?

Sheng Hong looked confused.

Seeing this, Wei Yuan smiled and said: "This matter is a long story, so I might as well not mention it. In short, when Su Shi returns to Beijing, it will be enough for me to say a few words to him."

Sheng Hong said: "Brother Yuan, thank you very much!"

Wei Yuan said: "One family does not speak the language of two families."

After a pause, he looked at Minglan again and said, "Sister, you also know that Ming's girl has already grown her hair, and it's time to talk about the marriage. I don't know about this, what do you think?"

The only purpose of inviting Sheng Hong here today is this.

After all, Sheng Hong was Minglan's biological father. As the parents ordered the matchmaker, Wei Yuan could certainly decide Minglan's marriage, but no matter what, he still had to inform Sheng Hong in advance.

Sheng Hong knew what Wei Yuan meant and said without hesitation: "Marquis Wei has watched Girl Ming grow up. I wonder if Marquis Wei has any family he likes? Let's worry about Ming Yatou. If it works, it doesn't matter if we settle down." "

By the time he said this, Zhang Guifen had already left with Minglan.

The elders are discussing the marriage of the younger generation. According to etiquette, the younger generation should not be present.

Wei Yuan said: "Sister, what do you think of Ningyuan Marquis Gu Tingye?"

Gu Tingye is a marquis!

With Sheng Hong's thoughts, how could he be unwilling?

After all, when Hualan married an earl, Sheng Hong was so excited that she couldn't sleep.

"This Gu Tingye has studied in my Sheng family for several years, and he was recommended by Marquis Wei. He must be of decent character. If Ming girl can enter the Gu family, it will be a good thing."

At this moment, Sheng Hong could no longer hold back the corners of his mouth.

Wei Yuan nodded and said, "It is a blessing to the Gu family that our girl Ming has entered the Gu family. Sister, don't you think so?"

Hearing this, Sheng Hong immediately laughed and raised his glass and said, "What Brother Yuan said makes sense. Brother Yuan, come here and toast you to me."

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Sister, please."

Behind the screen in the lobby.

Zhang Guifen and Minglan were eavesdropping on the chat between Wei Yuan and Sheng Hong.

After a while, Zhang Guifen said: "As for Gu Tingye's rudeness, your uncle has already taught him a lesson. He also promised your uncle that if he can marry you in the future, you will have the final say in the entire Ningyuan Hou Mansion."

"We don't care about his family background. Your uncle and I both want to ask you, what do you think of Gu Tingye? If you say yes, the matter will be settled. If you say no, from now on, Gu Tingye will not be allowed to return to the capital. step."

"This is also what your uncle meant."

Minglan first bowed her head and remained silent.

During the hesitation, Zhang Guifen said: "I understand. Tomorrow, all the soldiers from the Gyeonggi camp will jointly submit a memorial. In view of Gu Tingye's arrogance and domineering behavior and the cultivation of his confidants, your majesty may demote him to a commoner and will not be allowed to set foot in the capital from now on."

With that said, she was about to walk out of here.

Minglan quickly stood up to dissuade him, "Aunt, I. I. I think he's okay."

good?

Zhang Guifen covered her mouth and smiled, "This matter is settled."
