Chapter 450 Marriage
In the end, Wei Qingwan didn't listen to Yun's persuasion, and borrowed money from Bai.
Hearing that Mrs. Yun lost her temper and wanted to punish Wei Qingwan to kneel down, Mrs. Bai, who heard the news, went to Shou'an Hall to report to the old lady and the old lady. The old lady and the old lady came to prevent Wei Qingwan from being punished.
Because Wei Qingwan is going to marry into Prince Yu's Mansion, the Wei family can't afford to make a fuss at this time.
Furthermore, although Mrs. Wei felt a little inappropriate for what Wei Qingwan did, he still supported it. After all, he also hoped that his granddaughter would be favored in Prince Yu's mansion.
In the end, Yun could only let it go.
Not long after, the two thousand taels of bank note passed into Wei Ruo's hands.
Wei Ruo looked at the bank note in his hand and felt a little funny for a while.
When she deliberately set a sky-high price for this ointment, she just wanted to keep Wei Qingwan away, and felt uncomfortable for a while, but she didn't expect that she actually made the money in the end, and it also caused a dispute between Yun and Wei Qingwan.
Wei Ruo didn't know how to evaluate this matter for a while, and Wei Qingwan seemed to become more and more paranoid, which was completely different from her weak but kind, and even some images of the Virgin in the original book.
Wei Ruo was thinking, someone from outside invited Wei Ruo to the front yard.
Today is the day when the Ninth Prince is hired, Wei Ruode has to go and see.
Arriving in the front yard, Wei Ruo saw that the huge courtyard was filled with boxes of all sizes, which was several times more than the betrothal gifts sent by the Xuanpinghou Mansion last time.
The palace man presented the list to Wei Ruo.
Two hundred taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, sixty horses, one gold tea pot, two silver tea barrels, two silver basins, one thousand pieces of silk and satin, twenty pairs of armor, twenty pieces of jade wares, four handles of jade ruyis, A set of dragon and phoenix Chengxiang enamel pots and some famous calligraphy and paintings.
The royal family’s dowry gifts for princes and concubines are regulated, presumably the dowry gifts received by the concubines of King Yu and King Jing are also like this.
It's just the first time that the Zhongyibo Mansion, which has already declined, has seen such a battle.
Even the old Mrs. Wei, down to the servants in the mansion, all had bright eyes.
Wei Ruo calmly looked at the dowry gifts piled up in the room.
The wedding date was set on the eighth day of May, which was exactly the date that Xuanping Hou Mansion had previously set with her.
The days have not changed, but the person she is going to marry has changed.
This wedding is a bit early, even earlier than the wedding of the sixth prince and the seventh prince, but considering the special physical condition of the ninth prince, it may not be able to last so long. According to the news from the palace, the emperor arranged this marriage out of joy, so It is also reasonable to put his marriage before other princes.
The only unreasonable thing is that she was chosen for Chongxi, a woman with Kefu's life.
If the Ninth Prince is really short-lived, he would be a good marriage partner.
First, marrying into the royal family does not have the trouble of serving in-laws;
Secondly, after his death, he will not participate in the turmoil of the reserve, and no one will specifically target his widow;
Thirdly, as a concubine, her status is not low, and she enjoys the salary of the imperial court. She has no worries about food and clothing, and can openly buy various properties outside, which no one cares about.
It’s just that so far Wei Ruo still doesn’t know what kind of character this Ninth Prince is, and why people who didn’t appear in the original book appear in her life.
It's just that this is a marriage bestowed by the emperor, how can she escape? How can she defeat the imperial court?
Not long after Wei Ruo arrived in the front yard, Mrs. Bai also came. Looking at the good things in the room, Mrs. Bai's eyes lit up.
"So many good things, these silks and satins are not available for ordinary people, right? Is this jade Ruyi a blood jade?"
Although Bai's natal family is rich, she has never seen these things bestowed by the royal family. Seeing the betrothal gift for Wei Ruo from the palace at this moment, he was somewhat dazzled.
Bai walked up to Wei Ruo, smiling so hard that her eyes narrowed: "My niece Ruo'er is really blessed."
Wei Ruo glanced at Bai Shi indifferently, but didn't answer.
Bai's expression suddenly became awkward, her smile froze, and she couldn't help cursing Wei Ruo in her heart.
Wei Qingruo is such a cheap ass! This is not a princess yet! Learn to play tricks with her!
Not long after, Mrs. Mo also came. Seeing the dowry gifts in the room, Mrs. Mo's expression also changed, but she didn't show it as clearly as Mrs. Bai.
She walked up to Wei Ruo, and congratulated Wei Ruo in a soft voice: "Congratulations, Ruo'er."
"Thank you, auntie." Wei Ruo replied politely.
Bai's complexion was even uglier. The cheap hoof was so cold to her, but he was so polite to his sister-in-law. He was obviously slapping her in the face!
Wei Qingwan arrived only a moment later than Mrs. Mo.
Looking at the dazzling array of betrothal gifts that filled the room, Wei Qingwan's gaze sank but quickly stopped, and she did not show obvious envy like the others.
At this time, Mrs. Bai saw Wei Qingwan, and she walked towards Wei Qingwan quickly, and took Wei Qingwan's hand enthusiastically: "Wanwan, you are here, come and see your sister's betrothal gift! The betrothal gifts for concubines are all regulated, and generally the number of concubines is halved for side concubines, so if you look at your sister, you probably know what your betrothal gift is like, and it is probably less than half of this."
Bai's words made Wei Qingwan's complexion, which had just put away her displeasure just now, covered a thin layer of frost again.
Bai's family still smiled like a flower: "It stands to reason that the sixth prince is older than the ninth prince, so the sixth prince's marriage should come first, but this time the palace arranged the ninth prince's marriage first, presumably because he was worried about the ninth prince's marriage. Physical condition?"
"No matter how you say it, the eighth day of the fifth lunar month is still a bit too rushed, so that everyone in the house is busy with your sister's marriage. I guess they won't be able to take care of you until your sister gets married."
Wei Qingwan glanced at Wei Ruo with cold eyes.
Wei Ruo chose to ignore the way Wei Qingwan looked at her.
Whether she is dissatisfied or angry, she has to endure and endure, and she has the ability to talk to the person who set the date.
###
The first day of the exam on the ninth day of March.
Uncle Zhongyi’s mansion was in full swing. Early in the morning, the old lady went to the ancestral hall to burn incense and pay homage to the ancestors, begging the ancestors to bless Wei Yichen to go to high school.
Everyone in the Wei family, including Wei Ruo, went to the door to see Wei Yichen off.
Before parting, Yun seemed to have a thousand words to say to Wei Yichen, but when the words came to his lips, there was only one sentence left: "Do your best".
Wei Yichen nodded, and then glanced at Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan and Wei Yilin behind Yun.
Wei Ruo didn't have any obvious expression on her face. Regarding Wei Yichen's going to take the scientific examination, she was very calm. It seemed that this was a very common thing for her, and it wasn't worth worrying about.
