Chapter 426: I’ve got to have a good time.

“Grandmother sent me quite a few things too.”

“Grandmother send you something that is supposed to, you are my Wei family’s child, or my only granddaughter, I give those things to the girls not to give you to who? Earlier when I didn’t know that I was holding the wrong one, I also gave Wanwan quite a lot of things, the most beautiful courtyard inside the Wei House was also left to her, but it’s a pity that you can only live in Changchun Garden now.”

The Changchun Garden was the guest house, and since there were no other unused courtyards in the mansion, Wei Ruo’s residence had to be temporarily placed there.

It was because Wei Ruo lived far away that everyone else had been there for a while when she arrived at Shou’an Hall yesterday.

“I don’t mind where I live, I just hope that my grandmother can spare me from my morning and evening prayers.” Wei Ruo said.

Zhongyi Burial Mansion has many rules, and the juniors have to come to Shou’an Hall every morning and evening to greet the old madam according to the rules.

Relying on the understanding of the original plot, Wei Ruo knew what the old master and old lady valued the most, so today, when she started a conflict with Mingzhu Wei Ruo thought about the conditions that she wanted to negotiate with the two old men later.

“That’s right, the Changchun Garden is far away, and the daily morning and evening visits are a bit of a chore for you. Then let’s dispense with your morning and evening introspection and say that it leaves you more time to prepare for your marriage.” Old Lady Wei agreed.

“Thanks, Grandmother.”

“There’s no need to thank grandmother for just meeting you and having to send you off to get married, there’s only so much grandmother can do for you.” Old Lady Wei lamented.

Speaking of the issue of getting married, Old Lady Wei took the initiative to mention the dowry matter to Wei Ruo: “Regarding the dowry, there are some things that grandmother needs to frankly make clear with you.”

“Grandmother please.”

“It’s been almost two years since you returned to the residence, and there are some things that you’re aware of, the Burmese House is already empty and unable to give you and Wanwan a generous dowry.” Old Lady Wei said frankly.

“I know.”

“At that time, the public will be in accordance with the rules for the two of you to prepare a good dowry, in the past, the rules of the House of the dowry is the first daughter of five thousand taels, the common people’s daughters two thousand taels. According to today’s situation in the house, the two of you will prepare one thousand taels for each of you, in addition, your grandfather and I will add some more to you, as for how your mother wants to add to you that’s her business, I can’t ask.”

“Good.” Wei Ruo agreed very quickly.

For the dowry she had no idea, the house to give her or not to give her or not, she does not want them, because she did not intend to let this marriage into.

“Ruo’er what else you need all talk to grandmother, what can satisfy you grandmother will satisfy you.” The old madam added.

“I heard that the capital city is very lively during New Year’s Eve, there are lion dancers, jugglers, jugglers and all sorts of gatherings, I want to go and take a look.” Wei Ruo said.

“The ones you mentioned are the ones that the city folk love to go to, they are crowded and not suitable for you to go to. However, if you really like the bustle of the capital, I can have a few of your brothers take you to the streets to have a look, it just so happens that you and Wanwan aren’t going to be setting up your dowry? You can go and take a look.”

The old madam didn’t grant Wei Ruo’s request to go and watch the fun, but she still agreed to let Wei Ruo go to the street, she just needed someone to accompany her.

“Good.”

The conversation with the old madam went quite well, and when it was over, Sister Jin sent Wei Ruo back to the Changchun Garden.

After the people had all left, Xiu Mei asked Wei Ruo, “Miss, this old madam looks like she’s very good to you miss, no matter what request you made she agreed to it.”

“She may not be really good to me, no matter how much she values her first grandchildren, I have not gotten along with them in the end, I can’t talk about any feelings, it’s already considered good to be superficially concerned.”

“Then why is the old lady so good at what you say, miss?”

“More likely out of the balance of interests, according to their plan, I can not stay in this family for a long time, later really married to do the Xuanping Marquis wife, they still count on me to help them blow the pillow wind, at the moment with me to make the relationship stalemate is not cost-effective at all.”

This was an inference Wei Ruo had made based on the original owner’s situation in the Zhongyi Burial Mansion.

“So that’s how it is, I thought the old lady was a good person!” Xiu Mei muttered.

“Good person or not, as long as she can make my life a little more painful in the meantime.”

###

It’s the end of the year, and the capital is bustling with activity.

Although there have been disasters all over the world in the past two years, the capital is still in full bloom.

Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan went to the street to buy rouge and powder and some headdresses accompanied by Wei Yi Feng, the eldest son of the first house, and Wei Yi Peng, the eldest son of the second house.

In the order of the Wei family in the capital, Wei Yichen is the third in line, so here Wei Ruo should call him third brother.

Wei Yi Feng and Wei Yi Peng are both older than Wei Yi Chen, Wei Yi Feng will be twenty-five after the New Year, and Wei Yi Peng will be twenty-two after the New Year.

Among them, Wei Yi Feng is married but childless; Wei Yi Peng is in the process of discussing marriage.

Both are fun personalities, married or not, and know exactly where to go and where to eat.

“Where do you two sisters want to go to play, the capital has been bustling these past few days, so many fun places to visit!” Wei Yi Peng excitedly said with Wei Ruo and Wei Qing Wan inside the carriage.

Wei Qingwan reminded in a low voice, “Second brother, today we’re here for business.”

“Well, well, well, sister Wanwan, don’t be in a hurry. Today, we have more time, it won’t hurt to walk around first!” Wei Yi Peng busy said.

“Right second sister, let’s sneak around first. If you don’t have an idea, let’s go watch a cockfight, after walking down Vermilion Bird Street, turn left and there’s a cockfighting arena that’s very lively and interesting.” Wei Yi Feng seconded.

Wei Qingwan wanted to refuse again but saw Wei Yipeng keep winking towards her.

After hesitating for a while, Wei Qingwan agreed, “Alright then just watch for a while.”

After Wei Qingwan agreed, Wei Yi Feng and Wei Yi Peng took the carriage to the cockfighting arena.

Cockfighting was an activity that was quite popular with the children of nobles, but whenever there was a cockfighting competition, the arena was crowded with people.

Places like this are always a mixed bag.

Just as he reached the entrance to the cockfighting arena, he heard a loud clamor coming from inside.

After the carriage stopped, Wei Yi Feng and Wei Yi Peng lifted the curtains and let Wei Ruo and Wei Qing Wan, who were inside the carriage, get off.

Wei Qingwan frowned very much against it.

“Sister Wanwan don’t worry, with your big brother and I here, we will definitely protect you, we’ll just take a look from afar, nothing will happen.” Wei Yi Peng said.

“Yes sister Wanwan, this cockfighting arena just looks lively and noisy, in fact, all the people here are from the sons and daughters of high families, your second brother and I have been here a few times and are aware of it.” Wei Yi Feng said.

Under the combined persuasion of the two, Wei Qingwan stepped out of the car.

Then Wei Ruo also got out of the car and followed the three into the cockfighting arena.

When I came in, it was even louder, especially when the game was going on, and the shouts of people were deafening.
