Seeing that Xie Ling didn't accept it, Wei Qiong put the comb on the table and said, "I specially chose this for you. If brother Xie doesn't like it, just throw it away. The combs on the left and right are not worthy to take back. On someone else."

He spoke firmly, and looked straight at Xie Ling with a pair of eyes that were sincere and tender.

Seeing those eyes, Xie Ling's heart beat violently a few times, and his body became even hotter, but he didn't know what to say.

Wei Qiong is a good person, Xie Ling is not unmoved.But it is not he who can make decisions about marriage.And if he was allowed to be Wei Qiong's concubine, he would not be reconciled.

After thinking about it, Xie Ling opened his mouth and said, "Young Master Wei, I, Xie Ling, have no skills. I only have one elder brother to rely on. There are far more talented girls in Beijing than me. With my ability, it is really Not good enough for you."

Wei Qiong heard the words and said: "Brother Xie is humble, but Wei thinks you are good in everything. Don't worry, I know you will not be a concubine. If I, Wei Qiong, ask you to marry me, I will treat you sincerely and regard you as my wife. If you are tired of me, tell me right now, although Wei Qiong admires you, but he is also an interesting person, and I will definitely not bother you again in the future."

Wei Qiong came here originally because he wanted to give something away.

Somehow, after facing Xie Ling, a person who was not calm and rushed to talk, actually confessed all his thoughts.

Xie Ling didn't expect to receive such a confession from Wei Qiong suddenly, his eyes flickered, and it was impossible for him to say that he would not be moved.

He was raised in the courtyard by Lou's family since he was a child, and he had very little contact with foreign men.In the past, those from Xie's family who tried to make up for him were crooked and unworthy of the public. How could I have seen such a personable and sincere person like Wei Qiong.

Xie Ling's heart was in a mess, his face was red with blood, and he only said to Wei Qiong: "Young Master Wei, please go back, you are like this...what should I do..."

Wei Qiong made up his mind and wanted an answer, so he said stubbornly: "Brother Xie hates me? I won't hear from you today, so I won't leave."

Xie Ling was a little flustered, and after hesitating for a long time, he still whispered: "I don't hate it..."

Only then did Wei Qiong show a smile, bowed to Xie Ling and said, "Then...thank you so much brother for not being disgusted...Xiaosheng will go back first."

When he reached the door, he turned around and said, "If nothing happens, I'll come see you tomorrow."

Xie Ling didn't say anything else, and turned back to close the door of the tea room.After Wei Qiong finally left, he peeked out from the window.

After he completely lost sight of anyone, he turned back to the table and played with the giant clam comb in his hand.

The white rabbit and white jade on this comb are cute and round, it really is hard to put it down.

Xie Ling's heart was numb, as if being lightly brushed by a feather, a little itchy, he combed that hair back into his sleeve pocket.

·

Back home, Wei Qiong found his father and asked to marry Xie Ling.

Wei Han thought it was a political marriage after hearing Wei Houye's words.But he didn't expect Wei Qiong himself to like Brother Xie, so it's just right to have the best of both worlds.

It's just that he thought of his wife again, and seemed to have great dissatisfaction with the brother of the Xie family, so he said to Wei Qiong: "This matter is a beautiful thing, but you still need to explain it to your mother. Don't worry. , I went to persuade her first, so as not to cause any pimples in her heart, even if she married Xie Ling and came in, she would still have to confront each other everywhere, which would make it unsightly."

The Wei family is usually a harmonious family, and it is only recently that these storms have occurred.Wei Qiong felt that what his father said was reasonable, so he agreed to go to Xie's house to propose marriage together after his father and mother agreed.

In the evening, Wei Han and Wei Jiangshi mentioned the matter of finding Xie's family to propose marriage.

As expected, Wei Jiangshi strongly opposed it, feeling that Xie Ling was not good in everything, and had another big fight with Wei Han.

She had just gone to Xie's house to make amends, and she had a quarrel with Xie Ling, but now she wants to marry Xie Ling, isn't it self-inflicted?

In the evening, Wei Jiang asked Wei Qiong to come over and said to him: "I gave birth to you and raised you for more than 20 years, and I took good care of you everywhere. It was hard to raise you into a talent, and now you don't care about your mother's face at all! "

"There are so many noble girls in Beijing, which one is not good? You just like the brother of the Xie family! If you want to help, then the Liu family and the Wen family can also help you, and they are the daughters of the family. .Now everyone in Beijing knows that my mother just had a fight with that Xie Ling, but you want us to go to Xie's house to propose marriage, not to tell people to throw your mother's face on the ground!"

Wei Qiong was made dizzy by Wei Jiangshi's disturbance, and was annoyed when she mentioned the Wen family and Liu family, so she just said: "Then what is the status of the daughter of the Wen family and Liu family? Do they think highly of children? People's eyes are fixed on the upper seat. Before I got the honor, they didn't even look at me. That is to say, now that I have the honor, they will make me a backup. This kind of girl, I am I don't want to marry."

"You have achieved fame at a young age, and you have the backing of the Hou family. Which girl dares to look down on you?" Wei Jiang said: "Now your sister Ling'er is sure to marry into the royal family, and your future is boundless. !Are you still afraid that the Wen family and the Liu family will look down on you? Except for the Qi family boy, this talented man in Beijing will count you as the best, what kind of girl do you want?"

"Mother! Why do you only think about the conditions in your heart? It's unreasonable!" Wei Qiong said angrily: "If my father only cared about the conditions back then, would he still marry you?"

The Jiang family where the Wei Jiang family lives is a small family, which is not enough to be compared with the Wei family's residence.When Wei Han married her back then, it was also because he liked her that he begged his parents for their grace and married her as his wife.

As soon as Wei Qiong said this, he regretted it, but it was too late to take it back.

Wei Jiangshi was taken aback when he heard this, and then burst into tears, calling out that the child was unfilial and that he didn't want to live.

In the middle of the night, Wei Jiangshi rushed to the courtyard and was about to jump into the pond, but was stopped by a group of maids and servants, and finally persuaded to come down.

Wei Han slapped Wei Qiong on the face, and said: "No matter what, she is still your mother, you can't speak well, and humiliate your biological mother like this, you really read like a dog!"

Wei Qiong felt regretful and ashamed, but she didn't know what to do.

He was driven back into the room by his father, who asked him to put this matter aside for the time being.Wei Jiangshi is going to seek death, so he can't just leave it alone. The matter of marriage proposal can only be discussed in the future.

Xie Ling knew nothing about what happened to the Wei family.

He was lying on the bed, and under the moonlight, he took the white rabbit comb out to play with.

Thinking of what happened this afternoon, Xie Ling's heart warmed up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He thought of his wishing paper on Qixi Festival, which was hung on the top of the tree by Atractylodes macrocephala. Could it be that God saw it and it really came true?

Wei Qiong, a man of the right age in Beijing, is naturally very good.

Although his mother seemed to have misunderstood him, but after getting along a lot in the future, Xie Ling felt that he would be able to get along well with his family.

In Xie Huaiyu's courtyard, Xie Huaiyu was lying on the bed with his arms around Baishu. Although the two of them devoted themselves to learning, because of Baishu's belly, they still endured it.

But although they can't learn those esoteric ones, those easy-to-understand ones, the two of them can still review them.

So Xie Huaiyu and Baishu reviewed it, and took turns helping each other consolidate their practical knowledge before lying down sweating profusely.

Xie Huaiyu wiped Atractylodes' temples with a sweat towel, and said, "The weather is so hot, do you want to take a bath again?"

Bai Shu shook his head, the two of them had already washed it before, and it would be really troublesome to wash it now.And now that he is tired, he just wants to hug Xie Huaiyu for a while, and he doesn't want to move anywhere.

When Xie Huaiyu saw it, he smiled slightly without forcing it.I just played a cattail fan to fan Baishu.

Now that Bai Shu is pregnant, she is more afraid of heat than usual.Xie Huaiyu specially asked someone to make obscene clothes for him with extremely thin silk, which was refreshing and airy.

However, this obscene garment also has a disadvantage, that is, it is too transparent and cannot cover anything.

Now even in this darkness, with just a little bit of moonlight, you can vaguely see those invisible places, which often makes Xie Huaiyu's blood swell, and he can only drink cold water to suppress it.

This kind of clothes can only be worn in the room and cannot go out.

So every morning, Xie Huaiyu got up first, and only after Baishu changed his coat could he call the servants in.

But in order to keep Baishu cool and have a good night's sleep, so one more step is nothing.

Fanning Bai Shu, Xie Huaiyu said softly: "Thankfully you took Xie Ling out to show your face that time, there are many more people who come to me to inquire about Ling'er in recent days."

"Is there any suitable candidate?" Bai Shu asked curiously.

"There are indeed a few of them, but I can't decide for a while, I have to observe more." Xie Huaiyu said: "These children from aristocratic families came here to propose marriage, most of them want to take advantage of my Xie family's influence. But among the schools I attended, there are a few students who are not bad."

"Student?" Bai Shu raised his eyebrows and said, "Have they met Xie Ling? Why did they come to propose marriage?"

"I didn't propose marriage, but they are my classmates." Xie Huaiyu said: "They are all children without family background, but they are well-behaved and successful in their studies. It is only a matter of time before they pass the exam."

"If you choose one of these people, Ling'er will be considered married. But it is precisely because of being married that you will be respected more, and with their character, you will not despise Ling'er. In the future, the husband and wife will work together and the family It's simple, but it's better than that big Hou family." Xie Huaiyu said with emotion.

"You think so beautifully!" Bai Shu laughed and said, "Those classmates you mentioned, how do you know that they don't have a fiancée or a sweetheart at home? And if you step in and act as a matchmaker, they will agree. Whether you really love Ling'er or not is unknown. If you want to marry, she may not. Let me tell you, in terms of this relationship, it's best to be happy with each other, just like you and me."

"When did you become so sharp-mouthed?" Xie Huaiyu was refuted by Baishu. He tapped the tip of Baishu's nose, and couldn't help pecking his lips lightly, saying, "You are pure. How many schools in Beijing are there?" Your marriage can be a happy marriage, but it's just a separate business, so it's not bad to be respected as a guest."

"Don't be so pessimistic." Bai Shu said, "I think Ling'er just hasn't come yet. As an elder brother, why are you afraid that you can't afford to support him? You can just let him go out and walk around more, and he will be fine." When you meet someone who truly admires and loves him. One day, Xie Ling will come over and beg you to marry him, and you will marry him off. If that person dares to betray him, I will beat him up for you, and then I will beat him up. He took it back and took care of it, it’s no big deal.”

Bai Shu's words made Xie Huaiyu happy, but it dispelled all the gloom in his chest.

Originally worried about Xie Ling's marriage, Xie Huaiyu always felt a sense of urgency, but now she feels that it is really no big deal.

The next day, Wei Jiangshi stayed up all night, but in the morning, he washed and dressed early, and was about to go out.

Wei Han stopped him, fearing that she would be overwhelmed with what to do.Wei Jiangshi said softly: "Han Lang, I was only impulsive last night, and today I won't be overwhelmed by such things. It's just that I'm bored in my heart, so you let me go out to relax."

Wei Han saw that Wei Jiangshi had calmed down, so he didn't stop him anymore, but sent a few more maids to follow, and asked them to take good care of his wife, so as not to get hurt again.

On the other hand, he persuaded her again: "Even Qiong'er likes that Xie Ling, as elders, we should not stop him, but it will hurt his heart. If you don't like that Xie Ling, let Qiong'er Isn't it good to live out of the branch office and live outside with that Xie Ling, out of sight and in peace of mind?"

Wei Jiangshi smiled, and just said: "Look at what Han Lang said. Qiong'er is our eldest son, so it would be a joke to let him go out to live in a separate mansion. Let me think about this matter for a few days, and you won't No more advice."

Wei Han sighed when he heard the words, shook his head and gave up.

When Wei Jiangshi went out, he didn't go somewhere to relax, but went straight to the famous Taoist temple in the suburbs of Beijing.

There are still a few days until the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now there are many female relatives in Beijing who go to the Taoist temple to pray for blessings.

Wei Jiangshi heard a few days ago that Mrs. Wen's family is going to that Taoist temple today, and she went there today to meet Mrs. Wen.

The carriage drove for more than an hour before reaching the entrance of the Taoist temple. Wei Jiangshi got off the car and entered the Taoist temple. Sure enough, she saw Mrs. Wen with a pair of unmarried children.

Wei Jiangshi hurriedly followed, greeted Mrs. Wen as if by chance, and said, "It's a coincidence that I met Mrs. here today. In such a big capital city, our two families are destined to be together. This met."

Mrs. Wen smiled slightly, raised her eyebrows, and took a look at Wei Jiangshi.

This Wei Jiangshi is just the wife of the third bedroom in the family, and her family background is not high, so she had little contact with her in the past.

But now Wei Qiong, the eldest son of the Wei Jiang family, is quite promising, and she has to deal with it for Wei Qiong's sake.So he also nodded to Wei Jiangshi and said: "It's indeed a coincidence, but why did I only see Mrs. Wei San today, but I didn't see your sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law is busy with housework and has no free time. I am worried about Qiong'er's marriage, but I want to come to this Taoist temple to ask for it." Wei Jiang said.

When Wei Qiong's marriage was mentioned, Mrs. Wen and Wen Xiu'e couldn't help looking over.

Mrs. Wen also spent half her life among the family members in Beijing, so she immediately realized what Wei Jiang meant.

Seeing Wei Jiangshi's enthusiastic appearance, he might have taken a fancy to his girl and came here specially to get close to him.

Although Wei Qiong is not bad, it is not the only choice for the Wen family.

Wen Xiu'e has always been famous for her talents, and there are more than one or two men in Beijing who like her.

Besides, Mrs. Wen and Wen Xiu'e are more interested in the position next to the Second Highness, so they don't want to get too close to Wei Jiangshi at this time, and instead let people say something.

Mrs. Wen chatted with Wei Jiangshi a little distantly, and was about to leave.

Wei Jiangshi was in a hurry, and said behind her: "Mrs. Wen, stay a step, I wonder if you have heard a rumor about the marriage of His Highness the Second Highness."

Mrs. Wen stopped when she heard this, looked back at Wei Jiangshi and said, "But I don't know, it's time to eat at this time. My sister might as well stay and use this temple with me." We can chat while eating the vegetarian noodles in the restaurant.”

Wei Jiangshi had this intention, so he called the little Taoist priests on the side, told them to arrange an empty wing room, and brought in some bowls of plain noodles.

Wen Xiu'e and Wen Yaoguang ate a few mouthfuls, and then Madam Wen drove them out to play, while she and Wei Jiangshi stayed in the room.

After a while, Mrs. Wen came out of the wing, and she seemed to be getting closer to Wei Jiangshi, talking and laughing.

After exchanging pleasantries with Wei Jiangshi, she took Wen Xiu'e and Wen Yaoguang away, and it was not until she got into the carriage that her face collapsed and she frowned slightly.

"Mother, what exactly did Wei Jiangshi mean?" Wen Xiu'e asked anxiously: "The marriage of His Highness the Second Highness has already been decided? But who is it?"

Mrs. Wen glanced at Wen Xiu'e, then at Wen Yaoguang next to her, and said with complicated emotions: "Xiu'e, this time the Second Highness [-]% intends to order Wei Ling, the second daughter of the Wei family, to be with your younger brother Yaoguang. We need to make another plan for our marriage."

When Wen Yaoguang heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his face.

Wen Xiu'e felt like being struck by lightning, she didn't know what it was like, a wave of anger welled up in her heart.

"Mother, is the Second Highness blind? Wei Ling's girl is inferior to me in terms of appearance and talent. How could he choose her over me?" Wen Xiu'e said unconvinced.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Mrs. Wen said hastily: "You can talk nonsense about the Second Highness. In the future, if he... he has such a status, you and I can't talk about it!"

When Wen Xiu'e heard the words, she burst into tears of grievance: "I have learned all my skills since elementary school. I do my best in everything. But this married man in Beijing doesn't pick on me at all. Xie Huaiyu is like this, and so is His Highness the Second Highness." , Now how many men of the right age are left? When I go out in the future, I will be lower than those women who are not as good as me. "

Mrs. Wen loved her eldest daughter since she was a child, and she felt distressed in her heart, so she comforted her and said, "Don't worry, the third wife of the Wei family seems to like you very much, and there is also the Qi family, I will go and find out. Look at what the Qi family means, but after all the Qi family is a military general... A military general is going to the battlefield, although his status is high, he is not a good match after all."

"Do I really want to marry that Wei Qiong?" Wen Xiu'e sobbed and said, "It's just a second-rate fame, and I'm afraid it won't be good if I get an official later."

"I think Wei Qiong is not bad." Mrs. Wen said: "He is clean and there is nothing messy around him. Although he can't be a high-ranking official at the beginning, if he really becomes an in-law, he will be promoted with the support of the Wei family and your father." It's not a difficult task. After a while, we will go up."

Only then did Wen Xiu'e stop her tears, and leaned against her mother again.

Mrs. Wen stroked her forehead and said: "Don't worry, your cousin of the Chen family will also have Qiu Wei this autumn. He has always been in love with you. If he is lucky enough to be named on the gold list this time, given his family background, he is better than Wei Qiong." .Now my mother will help you support both sides, and we will talk about it later when we get out of the list."

Wen Yaoguang remained silent, but heaved a sigh of relief.

Left and right is to be a concubine, if you can be the concubine of the Second Highness, and be a sister with Wei Ling, you can still have peace.

In the future, if His Highness the Second Highness can really inherit the great power, then this concubine of him can become a princess, and her status is higher than that of ordinary wives.

When Wei Jiangshi came back from the Taoist temple, he was refreshed.

As she thought, Mrs. Wen's family still had hope for His Highness the Second Highness.

She just revealed Wei Ling's appointment, and Mrs. Wen really panicked, and she became more affectionate towards him.

After all, besides the Second Highness, among the young men who have not engaged in marriage in Beijing, Qiong'er from her family is the most promising.If Mrs. Wen knew current affairs, she would be the first to consider her family Wei Qiong.

After she returned to the Wei family, she found Wei Han and said about this matter: "I went to the Taoist temple in the suburbs of Beijing today to offer incense, and I happened to meet Mrs. Wen's family and had a good chat with her. She is also willing to send the eldest daughter of her family Married to Joan."

Wei Han was taken aback, then asked her if the matter was serious.Wei Jiangshi then took out a post and said: "This is given to me by Mrs. Wen herself, inviting me to be a guest at Wen's family banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival. What does it mean, don't you understand?"

Wei Han said with some joy in his heart: "The Wen family is an important minister in the court, and the eldest daughter of his family has a very unusual status. If Qiong'er can get his help, it will be smooth sailing in the future."

"Naturally. My own son, can I still harm him?" Wei Jiangshi said: "Although Xie Huaiyu is powerful, he has not yet entered an official position, and his influence in the court is not comparable to that of Lord Wen. Besides, it is still unknown who the higher-ups will choose to inherit the leadership. Brother and sister-in-law just follow that side, if they make a mistake, isn’t there no room for turning around?”

"But Qiong'er..." Wei Han hesitated and said, "It seems that he really likes that brother from the Xie family..."

"But we met twice, what do we like?" Wei Jiangshi said: "But you are young, and you will forget it after a while. The girl from the Wen family is beautiful and talented, no one in Beijing can compare, Qionger How can you be with her for a few days, so why would you be thinking about that brother?"

Hearing what Wei Jiangshi said, Wei Han was also shaken.After all, she is the daughter of the Wen family, and with such an explicit statement, wouldn't it be a pity if Qiong'er missed it?

On the side of Xie's family, press first and then talk, Xie Ling on the left and right is a brother, and Xie Huaiyu is more demanding, so it should not be so easy to marry.

The Xie family, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival will also hold a family banquet.

But Bai Shu was too busy and didn't have the time, so he deliberately left this important matter to Xie Qin and Xie Ling to hone.

Xie Ling bought red paper to wait for the family members to post.

These kinds of things could have been done at Xie's house without going out, but when I thought that Wei Qiong might go there in the afternoon.

Xie Ling couldn't sit still anymore, so he went out with the red paper and took things to the store to write.

Sure enough, before noon, Wei Qiong came to the door, but today he brought a fresh iced snack from Laifulou and gave it to Xie Ling.

When Xie Ling treated Wei Qiong today, he was more polite than before, but his words were less.

After making a cup of tea for Wei Qiong, he just lowered his head and wrote.When he raised his head, he saw Wei Qiong watching him write from above with a smile on his lips.

Xie Ling's face became hot, and he suddenly remembered that his handwriting was not very good-looking, and Wei Qiong was a talented person, even if he was not good at other things, his calligraphy could not be bad.

He subconsciously blocked it with his hand, and when his finger touched the wet ink, it wasted immediately, wasting a written invitation, which made Xie Ling very embarrassed and even more annoyed.

"I've only learned calligraphy for more than half a year." Xie Ling said annoyedly: "Young Master Wei, don't read it. You are a talented man. Watching me write like this makes me dare not fight in front of you."

"However, after studying for half a year, it's good to be able to write like this." Wei Qiong said with a smile: "If you don't give up, Wei can also help a little."

After finishing speaking, Wei Qiong casually took a piece of red paper and took a pen: "I copied it according to the one written badly by Xie Ling just now, and modified some sentences in it to make it more It's more appropriate."

Seeing the post he wrote, Xie Ling also felt that it was indeed much better than what he had written, and couldn't help sighing: "Mr. Wei is indeed worthy of being a man of fame and fame, and his talents and knowledge are much greater than that of a half-hearted fool like me."

"It's okay, if you enter the Wei family in the future, I'm just a third-bedroom, so it's not your turn to worry about such things." Wei Qiong glanced at Xie Ling and said.

Xie Ling immediately burst into flames, grabbed a piece of red paper and said falteringly: "It's for myself, and I also need to practice my calligraphy well."

After finishing speaking, Xie Ling wrote another post, very seriously.

Asked Wei Qiong to nod, feeling quite touched in his heart, as if he liked him a little more.

Later, he helped Xie Ling write a few more, and at five o'clock, Xie's carriage came to pick him up, and he left in a hurry.

Xie Ling put away those written posts, put them away, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the past, he always looked at his brother and sister-in-law in a panic, but now it was his turn, but he also felt that he seemed to understand their feelings.

When Xie Ling went back, he handed over the written posts to Bai Shu.

Bai Shu then discovered that among those posts, there were a few handwritings that stood out, and they were written in beautiful handwriting, which was far from Xie Linglian's Zanhua Xiaokai. Moreover, the words and sentences in those posts were also very particular, and Xie Ling could not write them. from.

Bai Shu didn't say anything at the moment, but just observed Xie Ling, and saw a white comb on his head, that white rabbit looked very cute, and he had never seen it before.

He deliberately picked out those posts and showed them to Xie Huaiyu when he came back.

Xie Huaiyu only took one look, then frowned, and said with a livid face: "This post was not written by the Xie family, and the words and sentences used in this post can be seen as a man who has learned stereotyped articles! I don't know which gangster it is. Kid, you actually have a secret relationship with Ling'er!"

The author has something to say: Xie Huaiyu is irritable: how dare my younger brother meet a man privately!I'm going to break his leg!

Bai Shu gave him a contemptuous look: We used to have private meetings every day... This double standard is a bit of a joke...

Wankang has a wife, it's impossible for Qi Qinyue.

Qi Qinyue has been going to Xie's house often since before, and she has already had a development with Xie Ling, and she won't wait until now.

Moreover, he is an only child, and he was a fifth-rank official at a young age, so the family's requirements will only be higher.Either it is a woman of high status, or he likes it, and it is not known whether he will marry a princess.

As for Wei Qiong... It's unknown... Let's see the fate of the two...
