At Wei Zheng's house, Wei Yanran's illness has recovered, but she needs to rest for half a month.
Wei Zheng and his wife were originally very worried that their daughter, who was outgoing, would fall ill if she was kept in the attic to rest for half a month.
But the reality is that Wei Yanran seems to be a different person. Not only does she not feel bored, but she also enjoys it. Apart from eating and sleeping every day, she just leans on the window and looks into the distance, dazed from time to time, as if she is lost in memories.
Wei Zheng held his beard and nodded and smiled: "Not bad, not bad. After a serious illness, my daughter has improved. It's a good thing that she can calm down her personality and become quiet. For many years, I have been worried that she will follow that Li Shengnan. Now it seems that, after all, She is our daughter, a fair lady, just like you, madam."
But Mrs. Wei showed no joy at all, her brows were furrowed, and after listening to her husband's words, she sighed: "Master, don't you see the problem with your daughter?"
"Huh? What's the problem? The recovery effect in the past two days has been good. Xiao Rui's medical skills are indeed superb." Wei Zheng didn't understand.
Mrs. Wei rolled her eyes: "You haven't seen it, but my daughter's heart may have been seduced by that Xiao Rui."
"Ah? H-how could this happen? When did it happen?" Wei Zheng was puzzled, "Aren't the rumors false? This has been confirmed to be a rumor."
After all, he is also the prime minister. How come he is as stupid as a pig when it comes to emotions?
After recalling it, Mrs. Wei speculated: "My daughter has been raised in a boudoir since she was a child and has rarely seen men. I'm afraid it started when Xiao Rui came to visit you when you were drunk, and the two of them started to know each other without fighting."
"No way, you mean they fell in love at first sight? No, no, Xiao Rui is a prospective consort with a marriage contract. Madam, is she saying that her daughter fell in love with Xiao Rui? She beat him because of love and hatred?" Wei Zheng himself didn't believe it.
Mrs. Wei shook her head, "It's not necessarily love at first sight, but it's possible to have a good feeling at that time. After all, Xiao Rui is a rare young talent in Chang'an, Yunwen Yunwu, what woman wouldn't be happy to see him?"
Wei Zheng suddenly remembered: "By the way, what Madam said is possible. I remember that my daughter asked me to invite Xiao Rui to our home to apologize for ruining his official robe. But later Xiao Rui was too busy and I forgot , and finally put it off. Now it seems that my daughter would have..."
Mrs. Wei reminded: "Do you still remember the rumors in the market? Why did Li Shengnan want to compete with Xiao Rui? The reason was to stand up for his close friend. It was said that Xiao Rui was in trouble with Yan'er and finally gave up. Yan'er washed her face with tears every day. Li Shengnan complained about his grievances..."
Hiss... yes, it's possible. Yan'er rarely talks to you and me, but not to Li Shengnan.
Wei Zheng said anxiously: "What should we do now? How about you ask your daughter?"
Mrs. Wei sighed: "Oh... what an injustice. Why did Xiao Rui, as the eldest son of the Duke of Song Dynasty, who would inherit the title of Duke of Song Dynasty in the future, become the consort? If not for this, it would be a good match for our Yan'er to marry him. .”
After pondering for a moment, Wei Zheng whispered: "I heard the news that Xiao Rui defeated Li Shengnan in a martial arts competition. Li Shangshu of the Ministry of War will fulfill his promise and marry Li Shengnan to Xiao Rui."
"Ah? H-how could this happen? She is Li Shangshu's only granddaughter, and they are willing to marry her as a concubine?" Mrs. Wei was shocked.
Wei Zheng shook his head and said: "It's not about being a concubine. It's said that it was because Xiao Rui won without knowing it and won the lottery on the first day of the new year. It was God's will, so His Majesty came forward to show mercy and granted Li Shengnan the status of Xiao Rui's wife by marrying him."
Fair wife...
Mrs. Wei muttered, glanced at her daughter's attic, and gritted her teeth and said: "Master, I have had a heart-to-heart talk with my daughter. Although she doesn't admit it, I am someone who has been there. It can be seen that my daughter has a deep love for Xiao Rui. Planted.”
Hearing these words, Wei Zheng was surprised and said: "What? Madam, you mean to marry our daughter to Xiao Rui as a concubine? No, no, absolutely not!"
But Mrs. Wei complained: "Yes, you are a censor, and your official position is indeed inferior to that of the Minister of War. Moreover, you used to follow Prince Yin, but now you follow His Majesty, and you are inferior to Li Shangshu in terms of family background. But in terms of relationships, you spend all your time Praise Xiao Rui, I am more happy to see him than to see our son Yu'er. What? With such a good relationship, you take the initiative to marry your daughter to him, and he can make our daughter a concubine? "
"If you don't want to be a concubine, then..."
"Three wives and four concubines, one is fair and two are equal, can't we also be an equal wife?" Mrs. Wei reminded. In fact, it is a reminder rather than a provocation. Li Shangshu's granddaughter can be an equal wife, but your daughter can only be a concubine?
Wei Zheng was also in trouble, not because he couldn't bear to part with his daughter, but because he knew Xiao Rui's situation. It was a great favor for a consort to be allowed to marry another. Marry two more? Is it possible that they are all the daughters of the current ministers? Is this still the consort? The prince and prince probably don't have this qualification.
And what others don’t know, Wei Zhengneng doesn’t know, is that the Xiao family is not an ordinary family, and their marriage cannot be decided by themselves. Without the emperor’s nod, let’s not talk about fighting to recruit a bride. Even if it is a baby marriage, you, Xiao Rui, don’t want to marry that Li Shengnan. .
After pondering for a long time, Wei Zheng finally shook his head and sighed: "Madam, when my daughter gets better, you can enlighten her. Xiao Rui is not suitable for her."
you……
Although we can argue sometimes, in the government, after all, the husband is the wife, and all important matters must be obeyed by the husband. Mrs. Wei feels wronged for her daughter. We are all willing to have three women working together with one husband, but this can't be done?
This is how women think. Is your Wei family great? You are willing to have three women working together with one husband, but what about the other two? Not necessarily willing. A princess, the granddaughter of a minister, her family background is higher than that of a humble family like yours.
In the palace, the ladies in the palace were spreading gossip, and most of them were talking about how powerful Xiao Rui's consort was. He was only a sixth-grade official. Not only could he be a consort, but he could also marry an equal wife? She is also the granddaughter of the Minister, isn’t this amazing?
What's so great is that it's His Majesty's favor.
What kind of favor is it? Favor is one of them. It also has to be someone who has the ability to make the princess and the granddaughter of the minister fall in love.
Not only that, I heard that even the imperial censor's daughter-in-law is secretly interested in her. It is rumored that she will not marry him unless he is married. Will Xiao Consort marry another one in the future?
What one? There are clearly several of them. The other consorts are all Princess Shang, but Xiao Consort, who is known as the most talented person in Chang'an City, is versatile in both civil and military affairs. With his own ability, it is not surprising that he can marry three wives and four concubines...
The little princess of Changle passing by was dumbfounded, three wives and four concubines? One wife, two wives, four concubines... It's all over. My father-in-law granted marriage to my brother-in-law and Li Shengnan. There is only one free wife left. If the daughter of the imperial censor's family takes the lead again, what will I do? Do it... woo woo hoo.
By the way, I heard that I could marry Li Shengnan, and it was Sister Xiangcheng who helped me to intercede. I want to go find my sister. My sister loves me so much, but she can’t compare to the daughter of a censor?
Xiangcheng saw his little sister wrinkled up and full of worry. Hearing what Xiao Changle said, he laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up. He pinched his sister's cute little nose and said, "Silly sister, what are you thinking about? Don't talk nonsense." , that’s your brother-in-law, do you think the child is playing house? You, aren’t you just here for a bite to eat? Later, my sister will give you the token of Zuixianlou, and you can go and eat, okay? You talk so nonsense, let me If your father, the emperor, and your mother listen to this, you will be punished."
"Ah? Sister, will the brother-in-law marry the daughter of the imperial censor again?" Xiao Changle changed his perspective.
Xiangcheng shook his head and smiled: "You are still young, but you care a lot. Sister knows that you are doing it for my own good. Don't worry, it won't happen. Your brother-in-law is the consort and cannot marry at will. If you marry Li Shengnan, you are already the emperor. Extremely merciful.”
"Hehe, that's good, that's good. How about we go out of the palace to play with my brother-in-law? It's so boring in the palace. In a few days, Xiu Mu will go there, and my brother-in-law is too busy to see anyone." Chang Le suggested palace.
Xiangcheng didn't know. "You must be greedy. Well, I'll take you out and go directly to Zuixian Tower."
Because of the engagement with Xiao Rui, Liu Li had already left halfway and it was inconvenient to meet in public, so she couldn't go to the man's house. It was more appropriate to meet privately in a restaurant.
But what is Xiao Rui doing? At this time, he was being trained at home. His methods towards his second roommate Du He and Cheng Huaimo were a bit inappropriate after all.
