Chapter 390 Unfounded Possessiveness
Madam Wei looked at her grown son, glancing left and right.
Of course, one's own son is the best in every way, but one cannot speak against one's conscience, after all, there are many outstanding young men in the capital.
"I'm telling the truth, Mother, Grandmother, please find a matchmaker to come to our door as soon as possible."
Wei Ye turned his head and was pulled away by his grandfather for further questioning.
General Wei is no longer on the battlefield. The imperial court has organized a logistics department, which is managed by him and consists of veterans who are still able to move. They do what they can, and the imperial court gives them a subsidy every month.
It's not much, but it's enough to get by.
Because of the monthly subsidies, their families can take better care of them, and now these old folks actually want to live a little longer.
Wei Ye's father injured his leg and was left with a disability. He is now working in another place.
Of the entire Wei family, only Wei Ye was capable of going to the battlefield.
Old Madam Wei sighed with emotion, "Daughter-in-law, you were so farsighted. Being in a good position makes it easier to succeed."
"May our ancestors of the Wei family bless us."
When Wei Ye was sent to the Lin family to be raised, there were many rumors and gossips, but fortunately, the Wei family didn't care.
Lin Anyuan and Ye Wan's daughter is someone they would beg for a thousand times over, not to mention that her status is about to change again.
From now on, other families can only envy the Wei family.
“We must not neglect this matter. Wei Ye is also a bit too much. We haven’t even invited a matchmaker to our door yet. If we were to go into details, we would be being impolite.”
Madam Wei scolded her son again, "Yes, you really are something! Why didn't you come home first? We could have prepared generous gifts for you before you visited them. You're so immoral!"
Wei Ye explained, "Qingyao asked me to go, and I didn't think much about it at the time. Mother, Grandmother, please take good care of this matter."
The Wei family was overjoyed, and Wei Ye felt the long-lost care from his family.
at the same time.
When He Rui heard the news, he was deeply shocked.
What does it mean that the three daughters of the Lin family intend to marry into the Wei family?
He Rui couldn't believe it. "This is impossible. With the Lin family's current status, how could they possibly marry their daughter to a mere martial artist? Especially one with such a bad reputation."
He likes Sanya, he's liked her since she was so young, and now she's getting engaged to someone else?
Madam He said unhappily, "Isn't Chu Xiujie also a martial artist, and an oddball at that? Didn't the Lin family still marry off their daughter? Does that mean they have to marry a scholar instead?"
"However, people from peasant backgrounds are not very particular. The second daughter is not engaged yet, but the third daughter is engaged first."
Her family had visited, but they didn't propose marriage.
He Rui was extremely anxious. "Mother, before any concrete news comes out, you should hurry up and go to propose marriage."
He felt distressed at the thought that Sanya would marry someone else.
Madam He took a sip of tea. "I will send someone to propose marriage, but not now. If Lin Anyuan really becomes the emperor in the future, then marrying a princess might not be a good path."
"Princess Shang can still stand in the court; that's just your own idea." He Rui's expression was not good. "I'm going out for a bit."
He wanted to find Sanya and get to the bottom of whether the rumors outside were true or false.
Sanya was playing with her younger brother at home when her maid came to say that He Rui was looking for her.
"He Rui?"
Sanya frowned. "I just got back. I'm exhausted from traveling all the way. Go and tell him that I'm busy today and that he should wait for me at Yaoyue Tower tomorrow."
"I've never been to the Inviting Moon Pavilion in the capital before, so I'll go and broaden my horizons."
Sanya had heard about Yaoyue Tower in her letters before, and she would definitely go and see it when she came back to broaden her horizons.
"Third sister, can I go with you?" Lin Mingqian's eyes lit up when he heard this from the side.
Sanya touched her younger brother's face and nodded, "Okay!"
Hearing this, Hui Gu spoke up from the side, "The Yueyue Tower of today is a thing of the past. The most famous one is Fanlou, which was incredibly prosperous and bustling, practically a den of iniquity."
"Auntie, what you said makes me really curious, I really want to go and see it."
The maid has already gone to report back to He Rui.
"She said tomorrow, tomorrow..."
He Rui couldn't quite describe how he felt after hearing that; he just felt a sharp pang of sadness.
He thought she would want to see him after she came back. Was he the only one who was similar to her?
Ye Wan knew everything that was happening at the Princess's residence, including He Rui, who had been lingering at the gate for a long time.
However, these are the children's freedoms, and she will not interfere arbitrarily.
Everyone has flaws. As long as the major aspects are acceptable, she won't interfere.
...
...
The next day.
When Sanya went to the Invitation Moon Pavilion for the appointment, she was still dressed in men's clothing.
Lin Mingqian didn't go with them after all; he was caught and forced to study with Crown Prince Murong Yuanzhou.
At the same time, the Wei family also sent a matchmaker to propose marriage.
Ye Wan has already made it clear that the Wei family can act as quickly as they want.
"You've grown taller, and you look a little different from before!"
He Rui recognized Sanya at first glance.
When Sanya saw He Rui, she sat down opposite him quite naturally. "That's normal. I was this old before, and I am this old now. You look much older than I am now."
He Rui was taken aback by her appearance and casually asked, "Why aren't you dressed as a woman when you see me today? Why are you dressed like this?"
Sanya picked up her wine glass. "I think it's more convenient to go out in this, and since we're here today to have some drinks with women, it's a bit inconvenient to wear women's clothes."
"You, a woman, come here to drink and have fun?" He Rui frowned.
Sanya looked completely bewildered. "Yeah, I came here to broaden my horizons. What, you're allowed to drink, but I'm not?"
"Didn't you say there were men dancing? Call two of them up and let them dance."
Sanya was incredibly curious; she had never seen a man dance before.
After saying that, she called the waiter and asked him to order a man to dance.
He Rui looked at her and couldn't help but ask, "You...your family is planning to accept the Wei family's marriage proposal?"
"You mean this? If nothing unexpected happens, it should be like this, right?" Sanya drank a glass of wine and then put it down.
The wine here is just so-so; she can't hold her liquor, so she doesn't drink much.
He Rui felt indescribably sad. He hadn't expected that Sanya would admit it so readily after he asked.
If it were any other aristocratic family, it wouldn't matter. They were all impoverished families, so why did it have to be the Wei family? The Wei family was dirt poor and had even been branded as traitors in the past.
"You...we've known each other since we were little, why did you choose the Wei family instead of me?"
He Rui didn't know how he asked that question; it was as if he had lost his voice.
Sanya glanced at him. "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Many soldiers in the army liked her, so it wasn't surprising that Sanya thought He Rui liked her.
"That's the truth, of course."
He Rui felt himself take a deep breath and stared blankly at Sanya.
"You'd better think this through, because the truth isn't always pleasant to hear."
"Go ahead and say it, I can handle it." He Rui stared at Sanya.
He wanted to know why.
Sanya cleared her throat. "To be honest, you seem to have an unwarranted desire to control me. We've only known each other since childhood. I'm not your wife, and we can be said to have no relationship in the future. But you like to criticize me. For example, when I ask men to come up and dance, you seem very unhappy?"
