Kneel down and beg to return to the field

From the beginning to the end, He Zhi's attitude was always indifferent, and she didn't even say a word of liking to Wei.But today, how could Wei Lai not understand her intentions?

Wei Lai returned home with that special pair of shoes, then turned his head and turned out the small box containing all his belongings.Counting carefully, including the banknotes and broken silver, the total is less than 500 taels. The most valuable thing in the box is probably the piece of jade that the emperor rewarded at the celebration banquet.

Although this piece of jade is probably the most valuable thing in this box, the things bestowed by the emperor probably cannot be sold for money, right?Wei Lai scratched his head a little, wondering if this thing can't be sold, is it okay to give it away?For example, as a betrothal gift to Ms. He or something...

When Aunt Wei opened the door and came in, she saw Wei Lai sitting on the bed with his injured leg supported, and there were scattered piles of bank notes and some valuable things in front of him.She glanced at it and couldn't help asking, "Alai, what are you doing?"

Wei Lai propped his chin, still focusing on the pile of money in front of him, and said worriedly: "Mother, if I use this little money to buy a betrothal gift, how many things can I buy? Will it be too wronged?" Miss?"

Wei Lai and He Zhi were already engaged before, but at that time Wei Lai didn't really think about marrying He Zhi, so the six ceremonies were just Na Cai, Wen Ming and Na Ji, and didn't even give the betrothal gift.Now that she was back in Beijing, she was thinking of resigning again. Naturally, she should marry someone back home early to be at ease, but this dowry...

Aunt Wei didn't say anything when she heard the words, when she heard a familiar voice from outside the door: "Hey, Xiao Wei is thinking about getting married? Thanks to our brothers who are still worried about you, it seems that the leg injury is recovering well. "

Before he finished speaking, he saw He Lin leading the way into the house, followed by a few of Wei Lai's friends in the army.A few people came to see her, but because Aunt Wei had maintained her etiquette and waited outside, but when He Lin heard Wei Lai's words, they immediately regained their spirits and ran over laughing.

Wei Lai was also very happy to see these people, and hurriedly got up with his crutches: "Why are you here?"

He Lin went over and pushed Wei Lai back, and didn't let her toss, just winked with a smile and said: "Of course I took a leave of absence to see you. I don't know that your wedding is coming soon, brothers came here in a hurry, why don't you come here?" You don’t have any congratulatory gifts, don’t you hate it?”

Wei Lai's ears were a little red, and he waved his hands at him to cover up: "I hate it, why don't you hate it? You said you were a brother, and you came to visit empty-handed."

He Lin immediately put on a sad look, exaggeratedly clutching his chest and said, "It's so sad to be rejected! I'll leave now, so I don't hinder your eyes... By the way, why is no one pulling me? Won't you let me go?!"

Among the people Wei Lai knew, He Lin was probably the most out-of-the-ordinary, with him around, the atmosphere would never get low.Wei Lai watched him play tricks with a smile, and finally stopped him and said with a smile: "Okay, don't play tricks. It just so happens that you are here, and I have something to ask for help."

Speaking of business, He Lin became more serious, patted his chest and said: "Okay, if you have anything to say, just say it, let's do nothing for my brother."

Seeing He Lin's swearing, Wei Lai felt a little embarrassed. She let go of her hand and coughed twice: "What are you talking about, how can it be so serious? It's just that I have bad legs and feet. When it comes to the dowry, can you go with me? Well, by the way, it's best to invite a matchmaker for me. "

Aunt Wei was supposed to worry about these things, but Aunt Wei's body is still not in good shape, and Wei Lai is worried that her mother still has some lumps in her heart, so she simply asks He Lin for help.

He Lin sneaked a glance at Aunt Wei when he heard the words, and saw that the old man's face was not displeased, so he felt a little relieved, and continued to take care of it: "It's just such a small matter? Don't worry, leave it to me." After he finished speaking, he glanced at the money scattered in front of Wei Lai, and asked hesitantly, "Why don't I ask my mother to help you with the dowry?"

Matters involving money are always prone to disputes, but He Lin and Wei Lai are considered to have paid their lives on the battlefield, so he will ask more questions.After hearing this, Wei Lai didn't think there was any problem, instead he pushed the money forward with relief: "That's right, you can ask your aunt to help with it. My mother is not in good health, so I'm afraid she can't afford it."

Being trusted by others is always something to be happy about. He Lin collected the money unceremoniously, took a look at the piece of jade bestowed by the emperor, and threw it back in a hurry after seeing the inner mark .He didn't even count the money, he just took half of it and left: "Okay, that's all, I'll ask my mother to help with the shopping."

Seeing that he only took half of it, Wei Lai was a little anxious: "Take it all, the money is not enough."

Half of the silver ticket is also two or three hundred taels, and it is enough to buy ten or eight daughter-in-laws in this capital city after purchasing the dowry.Of course, that's just the daughter of an ordinary family, and it's not enough to marry a lady from the Shangshu Mansion even if she adds ten times more.

He Lin gritted his teeth when he heard the words: "Come on, you, what's the difference if you have more or less? Master Shang Shu can still take a fancy to something like you?" After speaking, he smiled maliciously She smiled: "If you want me to say, you should save some money to buy a family business, the eldest lady of the Shangshu Mansion, you are so delicate. Xiao Wei, if you don't heal your injuries quickly, you won't even be able to support your daughter-in-law in the future." gone."

After saying this, He Lin took the bank notes and left with a few comrades in a good mood.

Wei Lai sat on the bed blankly, looking at the banknotes and scraps left on the bed, he felt that life was really too difficult.An hour ago, she was still worrying about the dowry gift, but after an hour, she found that the dowry gift was nothing. What was really terrible was that even if she married the man back, she might not be able to support the daughter-in-law at all!

A group of people came busily and then left busily, like a farce.Until this time, Aunt Wei, who had been staying in the room, sighed and asked, "Ah Lai, have you discussed this matter with Ah Zhi?"

Wei Lai regained his composure, and secretly took a look at her mother's expression. Seeing that there was no displeasure or dissatisfaction, he was completely relieved.

He reached out and rubbed his forehead, temporarily leaving those troubles behind.Thinking of the conversation with Ms. He in Shangshu Mansion at noon, the worry on Wei Lai's face disappeared, his brows relaxed, and he smiled silly: "Well, I told her about it."

At noon, Shangshu Mansion, Huayu Pavilion

"It will take some time for my leg to heal well. Why don't I ask a matchmaker to come to the recruitment period first, and then I will talk to my uncle about the resignation later." After receiving the shoes, I felt that my resignation had been decided. Wei Lai made a tentative proposal. She was afraid that Master Shangshu would dislike her after she resigned.

"Cut first and play later?" He Zhi glanced at Wei Lai with a half-smile, and joked, "Little General Wei, you are trying to cheat the marriage!"

Wei Laiwen blinked his eyes, and looked at He Zhi with an innocent face: "That clever Miss He, are you going to lie to me?"

He Zhi never discovered that Wei Lai was still so thick-skinned.Her ears were a little hot, and she looked away slightly, her tone was still as calm as before, but the volume was slightly lower: "You can arrange the bride price yourself."

This is promised.
