After Li Hao returned to the camp, he called Yang Wenyuan and others to discuss, and finally decided to take a day off to deal with personal matters before sending Gu Tingye and others.
This is to avoid having to go to the Imperial Guard and be busy with the Qianyuan Festival and have no time to rest.
After the announcement, everyone dispersed.
However, not long after Li Hao arrived home, Zhang Wen came to his house with Madam Song, saying that he wanted to see Mrs. Wei.
This made Li Hao wonder. His mother probably had never had any contact with the Huining Marquis Mansion. Since Mrs. Song came in person, it was the Wei family who should have received her.
After everyone sat down in the main hall and exchanged a few words, Mrs. Song explained her purpose of coming: "I came here this time to ask Mrs. Wei to go to the Sheng Mansion and help my son propose to Miss Pinlan."
Hearing this, Mrs. Wei looked at Mrs. Song and Zhang Wen with questions on their foreheads. The legitimate son of the Huining Hou Mansion was going to marry a girl from the Youyang Sheng family. The family background of the two families was too different.
Before Wei could think about it, Li Hao asked, "Why did the eldest lady think of asking my mother to propose marriage? There are many wealthy families in Bianjing, and there are many people for the eldest lady to choose from."
Mrs. Song explained: "Your family is already related to the Sheng family, and you are Brother Wen's superior officer, so you have a good relationship with both parties.
So after much thought, I decided that it would be most appropriate to ask Mrs. Wei to come forward, not to mention that you were the one who guaranteed this marriage in the first place, so you still have any objections. "
Hearing this, Mrs. Wei was completely confused. She never thought that her son had such ability to help others introduce marriages.
As for Li Hao, I really don't know what to say at this time. This matter had nothing to do with Li Hao at first. Later, it was purely a kindness to help, so how could it become his own protection.
But as for refutation, Li Hao really didn't know how to refute, and for a moment he had nothing to say.
However, Mrs. Song didn't want Li Hao to answer. Instead, she turned around and asked, "It's not about what I just said. Mrs. Wei, are you willing to help?"
After Mrs. Song asked about this, Mrs. Wei reacted and said hurriedly: "Of course I am willing to help with this, but I don't know when to go."
Mrs. Song said: "We will go to Sheng Mansion together tomorrow."
Hearing that it was tomorrow, Mrs. Wei was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you in such a hurry?"
Mrs. Song explained: "You should have heard what Li Hao said. They are involved in military matters and may not have free time for a long time.
And Pinlan and the others couldn't stay in Bianjing for long, so I thought about taking Brother Wen to Sheng Mansion tomorrow to finalize the marriage first.
There is no need to rush after that. When Pinlan and the others return to Youyang, they can take their time and follow the three books and six etiquettes. "
After hearing Mrs. Song's explanation, Mrs. Wei understood and made an appointment to go to Sheng Mansion tomorrow.
After the matter was settled, Mrs. Song took Zhang Wen away, and Wei and Li Hao sent them to the door.
When they returned to the main hall, Mrs. Wei said to Li Hao, "You have really improved your skills now. You can even help people with matchmaking and pull their hair."
Li Hao replied helplessly: "My mother has wronged me by saying this. This matter really has nothing to do with me. Zhang Wen fell in love with her as soon as we met."
It was Gu Tingye who encouraged him later. I wanted to help because I was afraid that they would let the two of them mess around and ruin Pinlan's reputation. "
After saying that, he said with emotion: "But now that it has happened, everyone is happy."
After hearing Li Hao's words, Mrs. Wei said, "Yes, everyone else is happy, but it's your own business."
This sudden question made Li Hao stunned for a moment and said, "What's wrong with me? Aren't you always fine?"
Mrs. Wei continued: "As for your marriage, I thought you were still young and didn't think about it.
But now that you have taken care of other people's marriages, it's time to think about your own affairs. "
Li Hao never thought that this matter would fall on him in the end.
He quickly said: "I don't have to worry yet. When I meet someone I really like, I will definitely tell my mother."
Wei said
: "Whether you like it or not, I'll tell you later, but what do you think of Minglan?"
Li Hao immediately understood what Wei meant. She had always had this idea in mind, but Li Hao really had never thought about marrying Minglan.
Firstly, because of blood relationship, and secondly, I don’t like Minglan’s temperament very much, so I wanted to avoid this topic.
Li Hao quickly interrupted: "Of course my cousin is very good.
Speaking of my cousin, I suddenly remembered that I had to say hello to Mrs. Sheng first.
It hadn't been confirmed a few days ago, so I didn't say anything in case something went wrong, but now that I've agreed to come tomorrow, I should go and talk to the old lady. "
As he spoke, he stood up and walked quickly outside the house. After he was out of Wei's sight, he trotted away.
At the same time, he told Fu Deng to prepare the carriage, and then stood outside the mansion, waiting for the carriage to arrive, and then rushed to Sheng Mansion.
After entering, he went directly to Shou'an Hall, but when he entered, he saw that Minglan was also staying in Shou'an Hall, accompanying the old lady.
Facing Minglan at this time, Li Hao felt a little embarrassed when he thought of Wei's words.
So he hurriedly said to her, "Old lady, I have come to tell you the good news today."
The old lady said: "Pinlan's matter is done!"
Li Hao said, "You are indeed smart. You guessed it right. Mrs. Song came to my house just now and invited my mother to come to discuss the marriage tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, he helped explain: "Originally, the time was not urgent, but because the government wanted the Imperial Guards to assist in the Qianyuan Festival, Zhang Wen needed to go to the Imperial Guards to help for a while.
Therefore, we can only rush a little, and hope that the old lady and Uncle Sheng Wei will make it clear, so as not to think that the Zhang family is neglecting. "
The old lady said: "Official matters are important, and that's right. I will tell the Sheng Wei couple the news later."
Seeing that there was no problem with the old lady, Li Hao was about to stand up and leave.
However, seeing that it was getting late, the old lady said she wanted to stay for Li Hao to have a meal, but just after being asked by Wei, Li Hao felt a little uncomfortable in front of Ming Lan, so she refused.
After leaving Sheng Mansion, Li Hao figured that he could not return home so early to avoid being caught by the Wei family again, so he took Fu Deng to Taiping Tower to have a drink.
When the lanterns came on, I quietly returned to my house.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Wei got up, dressed up, and waited for Mrs. Song to come over.
In fact, Li Hao wanted to go and see with his own eyes what happened in the Sheng family today.
But this was to marry Zhang Wen, so it was always a bit inappropriate for a man from Beppu to go there with him.
Li Hao couldn't help but regret that he couldn't witness Mrs. Wang, Xiaoniang Lin, and Mo Lan learning about Pinlan's high marriage.
Think about it when they learned that the merchant's daughter, whom they originally looked down upon, married the legitimate son of the Hou Mansion and became the head wife of the Hou Mansion.
I'm afraid the faces of these people are not good to look at, but Mrs. Wang may be better off among them.
But Lin Sushuang and Mo Lan probably had to smash many things to relieve their anger.
