Chapter 273 So shameless
The Wei family and the Wei army are frantic with worry.
His mother was gone when he woke up early in the morning.
They asked around but couldn't find him. They searched all the places he frequented, but he was nowhere to be found. They asked the maids and servants who served him closely, but they all knew nothing about him.
“Mother is so old, what are you two good for? You can’t even keep an eye on her.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than General Wei kicked Wei Jun in the shin.
"What are you good for? You're so old, you can't even keep an eye on your own mother!"
Wei Jun stumbled and turned around, speechless. "Father, I'm old enough to be a father myself. I'll be holding my grandson soon. Can you please not hit me in front of so many people? I have my pride too."
"You think you have any shame? I think you're shameless. Go find your mother. If you can't find her, don't come back."
General Wei immediately launched into a tirade.
They were getting really into their argument when the butler arrived.
"Master, the old lady's carriage has arrived and is right at the door."
The father and son hurriedly ran outside.
Where have you been?
"Mother, where did you go so early in the morning? Why did you only come back after dark? The family is going crazy with worry. Father is about to beat us with a whip."
"What are you yelling about? I'm back now, aren't I?"
Old Madam Wei rolled her eyes at her son. "What's the rush? Do you think an old woman like me would be robbed if I went out?"
Where is my grandson?
Hearing his grandmother call, Wei Ye hurriedly ran over.
He is the only son of the Wei family in this generation, and he is only twelve years old.
When Wei Jun was young, he followed his father to the battlefield and suffered old injuries. After getting married, he and his wife were often separated, so they only had this youngest son after many years of marriage.
The name "Wild" was chosen so that the child would grow up wildly.
The Wei family has been a single-son family for three generations.
The Wei family members are all robust-looking, but Wei Ye has a delicate face and is somewhat fair-skinned, just like his mother, Madam Li.
"Wei Ye."
With a serious expression, Madam Wei said, "I met three fine women today. If you can marry any one of them, I can die in peace."
Wei Ye:? ? ?
Wei Jun: ? ? ! ? Is his mother crazy?
General Wei's eyes widened in surprise.
Is she possessed by something? What kind of person could make an old woman say such things?
Wei Jun couldn't help but speak up, "Mother, have you gotten senile from going out? The young girls are all in the capital now. Didn't you always look down on them? How come you've gone back to..."
Madam Wei scoffed, "There are plenty of good women in the world. All you know is the capital. Go read more books and broaden your horizons. Don't embarrass our family when you go out."
"Where did you go, and what did you find?"
General Wei looked at his wife and felt that she was acting strangely today.
"Who did you go out to see? Did you go to see Lin Anyuan?" General Wei suddenly shouted.
Ever since the old woman heard that Lin Anyuan was as handsome as a god and even more outstanding than the Third Young Master Pei, she had always wanted to meet him.
She doesn't even know how old she is, yet she still wants to see a handsome young man.
"Why are you speaking so loudly? Even though I'm old, I feel happy when I see such a good-looking person. The tea is delicious; I even shamelessly took two packets of tea when I came."
Madam Wei smiled broadly. "Old man, come inside, I'll make you some tea."
General Wei thought to himself, "Lin Anyuan has already gone to Jiangnan, what chance do I have of seeing him?"
As they walked, he muttered to himself, "You've really gotten old, your skin has thickened, and you've lost all sense of shame. Our Wei family is so big, even if we're down on our luck, we can't be so poor that we can't even afford a bowl of tea. And yet you went out and brought her back, to the Lin family?"
"Never mind that. What does it have to do with you if they're willing to give it to me? If you're not going to drink it, just shut up. I wouldn't even give it to you."
General Wei stared wide-eyed. "At this hour, how can you sleep after drinking tea?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the aroma of tea filled the cup in front of him, and General Wei sniffed the air.
She said she wouldn't give him any water, but it was just talk; in the end, Madam Wei still felt sorry for the old man.
He pushed the cup forward a little, "Try it, this tea is different from other teas."
General Wei didn't offer the tea, but looked at his wife and asked, "What exactly did you find at that scoundrel Lin Anyuan's house?"
Madam Wei took a sip of tea and slowly said, "A man of such great talent and ambition, who is not bothered by trifles, and who has a virtuous wife and a wise ruler standing behind him, will not lose."
"Have you seen Lin Anyuan?" General Wei asked instinctively, though he thought it was impossible.
"No, not really, but I saw his wife. Oh my, what a fairy-like woman! And she's still farming every day. I heard she's even managed to grow crops on a lot of barren land." Old Madam Wei couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Ye Wan.
The woman was even happier to see a beautiful person and couldn't help but cry, even though Old Madam Wei was old and still a woman.
General Wei frowned. "You've got your eye on someone's daughter?"
Madam Wei said, "Of course! If we can marry her, our family will prosper for three more generations! Even if it's an arranged marriage, it's fine, as long as they want her!"
The general slammed his fist on the table, exclaiming, "This is utterly disgraceful!"
"This is so improper! Wei Ye is not good enough for her at all."
Madam Wei pursed her lips, but what she really wanted to say was that even families that allow sons-in-law to marry into their wives' families don't necessarily want that.
"This tea is indeed excellent." General Wei took a sip and found it truly fragrant.
He didn't like drinking such refined things, nor did he like the stilted way of preparing tea.
When he's out and about, he drinks coarse tea, and at home he's even less particular. He'll drink any kind of tea, and if there's none, he'll just drink cold water. But this particular tea is the one that he keeps wanting more after he's had a taste.
He couldn't help but ask, "You really had the nerve to ask them for it?"
"Didn't I already say that? Are you out of your mind? Why do you have to ask again?"
"Lady Lin Anyuan said something today, you should listen to it too."
"Talented people emerge in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years."
"Old man, your era has passed."
General Wei paused, his hand holding the teacup still.
...
...
"Talented people emerge in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years!"
"Haha, good! I knew An Yuan's son was very talented."
"By imperial decree, General Wei shall enter the palace first thing tomorrow morning."
After his visit to the palace, General Wei set off the next day with his son, the third son, and the fourth son.
It must be said that because of what happened today, General Wei quickly saved Lin Anyuan's life.
