Chapter 393 Marriage
Wei Yichen also received gifts from Wei Ruo, two expensive calligraphy and paintings and two silks and satins.
Wei Yichen looked at the gift with no obvious expression on his face, and he didn't make any comments, but asked Xiao Nan to put everything away in a calm tone.
"Young master, the calligraphy and painting sent by the eldest lady should be your favorite, don't you want to take a look?" Xiao Nan asked suspiciously.
The young master has always loved calligraphy and painting, especially the calligraphy and paintings of famous artists, and most of the calligraphy and paintings rewarded by the palace are famous calligraphy and paintings, and the young master can't look at them on weekdays.
"No need, put it away." Wei Yichen didn't say much.
Xiao Nan had no choice but to nod and do as he did, but felt in his heart that the Eldest Young Master became more and more taciturn, and the people who escaped from the dead became taciturn, and after the Second Young Master left, it became even more unpredictable.

Wei Qingwan is in Zhuangzi, but she can still know the big and small things that happen in the mansion.
People in Zhuangzi will also talk about what happened in the general's mansion, especially when it comes to the eldest lady getting a reward from the empress in the palace, the people in Zhuangzi are full of excitement.
He also talked about how good the rewards were, how shiny the satin Wei Ruo distributed to the people in the mansion, and how exquisite the porcelain was, which no one in the mansion had ever seen before.
These words sounded extremely harsh to Wei Qingwan's ears.
The people in the Zhuangzi are just like the servants in the mansion, they are all flattering and depressing. Seeing that Wei Ruo is in power now, they keep praising her, and seeing her downcast, they make things difficult for her, and deduct her daily expenses for food and clothing.
Wei Qingwan glanced at her shabby room. The room was leaking everywhere. Even though Cui He had cleaned it several times, she still could vaguely smell the musty smell.
And there is no jewelry on her dressing table that can be worn out.
Some earrings and bracelets were taken out by her to exchange for silver taels, which were used to maintain her daily food and clothing expenses.
After arriving at Zhuangzi, her daily food and clothing were extremely poor. If she didn't make some allowances, her life now would be even more difficult.
Thinking of Wei Ruode's pile of rewards, Wei Qingwan sneered, then looked at herself in the mirror, and couldn't help laughing at herself, blaming herself for not being able to comprehend earlier, not being able to act preemptively, to end up in this situation. so-so.
With a "squeak", the door was pushed open.
"Miss, miss..." Cui He hurried in from the outside, holding a letter in her hand.
"How is it?" Wei Qingwan asked hastily.
"Master Qi has a letter for you." Cui He handed over the letter.
Wei Qingwan hurriedly took the letter and opened it to check.
She finally waited for news from Mr. Qi, and she has always believed that Mr. Qi will keep his promise...
The letter unfolded, and the joy on Wei Qingwan's face gradually emerged.
"How is Miss? What did the letter say?" Cui He asked expectantly.
"I can go back to the General's Mansion openly." Wei Qingwan said firmly.
"Really? That's great!" Cui He said happily, "The eldest lady will not be happy anymore! As far as the rewards she got, the young lady will not even bother to look at them in the future!"
Wei Qingwan tightly held the letter in her hand, her eyes filled with hope.

On the second day, Wei Ruo was digging the ground with a **** in the yard, and all the vegetables in the small vegetable garden surrounded by the wall had been harvested. She was going to turn over the ground, pile up compost, and prepare to sow new seeds.
"Miss, miss..." Xiumei ran in hastily.
"A **** from the palace came to the house to announce the decree."
"Is it for father or brother? Or me?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Neither of them. It's for the second lady." Xiumei said.
"Wei Qingwan? What's the situation?"
"It's a marriage gift!"
"Give marriage? To whom?"
"Sixth prince! Be the concubine of the sixth prince!"
"Sixth prince? Are you sure? Did you hear me correctly? Is it the sixth prince, not the seventh prince, or the third son of the Qi family?" Wei Ruo was very surprised by the news.
Xiumei nodded her head heavily: "I heard it sincerely. I'm sure it's the sixth prince, not the seventh prince or the third son of the Qi family!"
Wei Ruo frowned, forgot to move the hand holding the hoe, and began to think deeply about this question.
According to the plot of the original novel, Wei Qingwan's official partner is Chu Lan, and in this life she is matched with Qi Zhen.
But now that the decree of granting marriage came down, she was pointed out to the sixth prince who had never had any contact with her, which is really strange!
"Did the imperial decree say why such a marriage was granted?" Wei Ruo asked.
"You said that the Second Miss of the Wei family is virtuous, dignified and courteous, and she said a lot of compliments." Xiumei replied.
This kind of word is generally said in marriage, and has no specific reference value.
"Then who is the concubine of the sixth prince?" Wei Ruo asked again.
According to the rules of the current dynasty that Wei Ruo learned, the general prince's big wedding is accompanied by the crowning of the king, and the big wedding always comes first with the main concubine and then the side concubine. Some of the main concubines and side concubines enter the door on the same day, but it is very rare It is rare to marry a concubine first and then become a concubine.
Calculated, the sixth prince Chu Heng and the seventh prince Chu Lan are also eighteen, and they are at the age of the king's wedding.
"Then I don't know yet. When I heard the news, I immediately came back to report to Miss. I haven't had time to inquire too much in the future." Xiumei said.
"Let's go, go to Cangyun Garden and ask about the situation." Wei Ruo said.
It's not that she thinks too much about gossip about Wei Qingwan, but that if Wei Qingwan really becomes the concubine of the sixth prince Liu Heng, she will be passively implicating the Wei family. Wei Ruo needs to find out.
Wei Ruo brought Xiumei to Cangyun Garden. At this time, the Cangyun Garden was filled with an unusual atmosphere because of the marriage just given.
When Wei Ruo walked into the main room, it was rare to see Yun's joy at receiving the order.
"Miss."
Cuiping called Wei Ruo, the voice caught Yun's attention, Yun raised his head and met Wei Ruo's eyes.
"Is there something wrong?" Yun asked with a cold voice.
"I heard that there was an order from the palace to marry the second sister to the sixth prince?" Wei Ruo cut straight to the point.
"Yeah, I didn't expect your second sister to have such good luck?" Yun said.
"Mother thinks this is a good thing for the Wei family?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Let's not talk about whether it's a good thing for the Wei family, but at least it's a good thing for Wanwan, so that she won't be disturbed by gossip again!" Yun said with a straight face.
"Mother doesn't think there is any problem in this at all? The person who had an affair with the second sister before was the third son of the Qi family, and now the object of marriage is the sixth prince. They are cousins." Wei Ruo asked.
"Wanwan didn't have an affair with the third son of Qi. The two of them were just in love and nothing more than politeness. Outsiders don't understand nonsense. Why do you, as the eldest sister in the family, say that she has an affair? What's your intention? " Yun asked back.
