Chapter 417 – Congratulations on Sister’s Engagement

Wei Ruo and Wei Mingting talked in the study for about half an hour, and then Wei Mingting went back to the backyard and told Yun about the matter.

“Husband agreed?”

“Does your ladyship think there’s something else wrong?”

“This Zhao Xun family base is too thin,…… although it has been a lifer, but our family in the end is a meritorious family,…… Ruo Er is the first daughter of the family, marrying over will not be some of the door is not the right household,……” Yun said his own considerations. …… “Yun spoke out her own considerations.

“Zhao’s second son has been a young man, the future is unlimited, although my Wei family is a meritorious family, but has long been declining, the gateway on the difference is not much. And low marriage for Ruo Er is good, the future husband’s family have scruples, will not let Ruo Er suffered aggrieved. In addition, the Zhao family’s parents have passed away, if the child married over do not need to wait for the in-laws.”

“But Wanwan she was appointed to be the sixth prince’s side consort, if Ruo’er is the older sister and married too much lower than her younger sister, my concubine feels that it is somewhat inappropriate.”

“There’s no harm in it, giving a marriage is something decided by the royal family, if we go by what you say, wouldn’t if-er also have to marry a prince in order to compare?”

“I don’t mean that, I think it should at least be a higher level. What’s more, my husband won’t necessarily be an official in Taizhou Prefecture for a long time, and will still have the opportunity to be promoted to the capital in the future, so if I let Ruo’er marry the second son of the Zhao family, I’m afraid that there won’t be much of a chance for father and daughter to see each other again in the future.”

“There’s no need to think so much, I may not have the chance to be promoted, and that Zhao family’s son, may not not have the chance to be in high school. The future is unpredictable, might as well do the right thing at the moment.” Wei Mingting said.

Seeing Wei Mingting’s clear attitude, Yun did not dare to say anything more even though she had objections in her heart.

Wei Mingting then explained to Yun, “Ruo’er is the older sister, her marriage should be arranged before Wanwan, the time will be a bit tight, you put more thought into it.”

“Concubine knows.”

“There is also the dowry for the two daughters. We owe Ruo’er a great deal, and she hasn’t been at your knee or mine for long, so the dowry should be as much as possible for her to make up for these years.”

“This ……” Yun hesitated a little.

“What is it? What does the lady think is wrong with what my husband has said?”

“Husband, Ruo’er has already saved a lot of private coffers, her dowry doesn’t need to be prepared by me, I’m afraid it’s already very generous. On the contrary, Wanwan, she is going to be married off to the royal family in the future, so it is only right that we should prepare more thoroughly.”

“Ruo’er’s private treasury is something she earned herself, it has nothing to do with us, we as parents should do our best, we can’t slack off just because Ruo’er has some skills of her own. As for Wanwan, it is also true that we should prepare as much dowry for her as possible, but it is only appropriate that it is slightly less than the eldest daughter’s according to the rites.” Wei Mingting replied.

Looking at Yun’s still hesitant demeanor, Wei Mingting added, “Madam, Ruo’er is our full-fledged daughter and has suffered for thirteen years outside, what we can make up for her is very limited.”

“Concubine knows …… Concubine will make good arrangements ……”

Yun reluctantly agreed.

Knowing that her father had already agreed to Wei Ruo marrying the second son of the Zhao family, Wei Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief.

“Miss, in the future, you’ll be the princess and she’ll be a peasant woman, your statuses will be different from each other!” Cui He said with an excited face to Wei Qing Wan.

Regardless of whether Wei Qingwan can be favored in the royal family, she is on the royal jade ultimatum of the side consort, this identity can get rid of Wei Qingruo several streets.

Marriage is the most important thing in a woman’s life, no matter how many dark losses Wei Qingwan ate before Wei Ruo suffered how much aggression, as long as the marriage is not good, Wei Qingwan can raise her eyebrows at once.

Wei Qingwan looked up at her own figure in the bronze mirror.

After a while, Wei Qingwan stood up, “Cui He, let’s go congratulate sister.”

Saying that, Wei Qingwan asked Cui He to prepare a gift and then went to Listening Pine Court.

Listen to Pine Court.

Inside the house, Wei Ruo was organizing the accounts of the various expenses of the relief agency and the accounts of the sale of coal, cotton clothes and other supplies in short supply during this period of time.

Even though the soup kitchen is a not-for-profit program, Wei Ruo still has to figure out in detail how much money is spent on each expense.

There was a knock on the door and Xiu Mei went forward to open it.

Seeing that it was Wei Qingwan and Cui He standing at the door, Xiu Mei inquired expressionlessly, “Is there something wrong with Second Miss?”

“I heard that my sister’s marriage was finalized, so I came over to congratulate her.”

“Second Miss’s heart my miss has appreciated it, my miss is busy with something nowadays, second miss please return.” Xiu Mei replied.

Cui He shouted at the courtyard at the top of her voice: “My young lady has specially prepared a gift for the eldest young lady to congratulate her on finding a good man.”

Wei Ruo, who was in the house counting accounts, heard the sound and stood up to walk outside.

Seeing Wei Qingwan, who was standing in the doorway, Wei Ruo inwardly rolled her eyes:

“Wei Qingwan you are really idle, last time was in the relief house is who said and I well water does not commit river water?”

“It’s all because of you. I wanted to stay away from you and sister, but sister didn’t want to, and last time it was sister who brought Mrs. Yuan and the others here, right? Deliberately letting me make a fool of myself in front of all the ladies, so that mother would blame me.” Wei Qingwan coldly said.

At the time, she thought it was her bad luck that she just happened to get bumped into by everyone.

After a detailed inquiry, I learned that Wei Qingruo first went to see Mrs. Yuan that day, after Wei Qingruo did not know and Mrs. Yuan said what, Mrs. Yuan proposed to go to the relief agency to see.

And then just so coincidentally, she and Cui He were bumped into by Mrs. Yuan and the others.

It was all Wei Qingruo’s scheme, it was Wei Qingruo who was setting her up!

If Wei Qingruo was so vicious, how could she suffer in silence and not react?

Wei Qingwan added: “Sister is now talking to me about what well water does not offend river water, when I gave sister the opportunity sister can not grasp.”

Wei Qingwan’s eyes filled with resentment as she looked at Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo felt very bored: “Okay, the play is almost as good as acting in front of outsiders, there is no need to specially come to my door to sing, and there is no audience.”

“How could I not come to such a big event as my sister’s wedding being finalized? I heard that that Zhao family’s son is a weak body, I specially prepared tonic over to send to sister, in the future sister married over, also have to give the future husband son-in-law to make up for the body.”

Wei Ruo glanced at the box Wei Qingwan was holding in her hand: ”Really? What good medicine can you come up with when you don’t even have the silver to buy ointment for your own scars? Just stop pretending, I’m sick of seeing it.”

“Don’t bother sister with the matter of buying ointment, I have my own way. Sister should still ponder over her future life as a peasant woman.”

“I have begged for this life as a peasant woman, and I have pondered my future life since. Do you think everyone dreams of moving into that deep palace like you?”
