Chapter 1794 Envy
Manbao, who was always tempted by external things and couldn't compromise, felt particularly touched. After thinking for a while, she turned back and said to Chang Yumingda, "Next time I must stick to myself and never give in to your temptations again."
Everyone: ...
Changyu and Mingda: ...
Bai Shan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Changyu and Mingda finally came to their senses and said, "You will lose us if you do this."
Man Bao said with a serious face: "Those who know me are my confidants. Those who don't know me, even if I try to please them, cannot become my confidants. I don't believe that Lord Wei has no confidants or friends."
Changyu and Mingda: ...
Wei Zhi didn't have many close friends, so he was surprised to see so many people like Zhou Man appear at his door.
When he recovered and asked his servants to invite them in, he saw Princess Changyu and Princess Mingda walking among the crowd. Wei Zhi subconsciously turned his head to look at his youngest son.
Wei Yu stood aside and when he received his father's gaze, he went forward to greet the guest in a self-righteous manner.
Wei Zhi: ...
Although I misunderstood, I did not do anything wrong.
Bai Shan and the others met Wei Yu for the first time. Even Zhao Liulang had only heard of each other but had never met them.
Because he had been staying in Quyang to study, although he occasionally came to the capital, but because of Wei Zhi's position and personality, the children of the Wei family rarely played with their noble families.
Manbao looked at Wei Yu calmly. She saw that he had a slender figure and a decent face, but when she thought of the person Changyu had liked before, she had a bad feeling.
So he turned around and looked at Changyu.
Sure enough, there was some disappointment in Changyu's eyes.
Wei Zhi had already rushed out following his son. He first respectfully saluted Princess Changyu and Princess Mingda, and then greeted the others.
Wei Yu looked up at Changyu and Mingda in surprise. She didn't expect the princess to come to their house.
But he was polite and only took a glance before lowering his head.
Chang Yu was even more disappointed. He whispered to Man Baomingda, "What should I do? I'm afraid I'll have to face another Lord Wei in the future."
Manbao and Mingda: ...
The two looked at the polite Wei Yu, then at the majestic Wei Zhi beside them, and whispered to her, "Don't be afraid, Lord Wei is a man worthy of respect."
Chang Yu just glanced at her and didn't feel comforted.
Manbao whispered, "It's better to be polite than not, right? If you think about it, polite people have a sense of shame. Do you want to live with a scoundrel?"
"He dares!" Chang Yu frowned, then whispered, "If he dares to act like a scoundrel to me, I'll stab him to death."
Manbao whispered, "You weren't this domineering when you met the prince yesterday. You're just a softy. I think a polite family is the right one for you. Otherwise, if you're soft, you'll bully them, and if you're tough, you'll be bullied."
Mingda didn't pay attention to it at first, but after she said that, he thought about it carefully and realized that it was true.
Chang Yu looked at the two of them with his mouth wide open, and after a while he secretly raised his eyes to look at Wei Yu.
Wei Yu was talking to Bai Shan and others. Since they were talking about academic matters, they were having a great time. But in Changyu's eyes, Wei Yu seemed to be becoming more and more old-fashioned.
Especially when Lord Wei is standing next to him for comparison.
If I can't marry someone as talented and beautiful as Yang Heshu, I might as well marry someone who is brave and has a suitable temperament.
The Wei family and she are completely two different paths.
Mrs. Wei, who was staying in the backyard, soon came with her daughter-in-law and granddaughters. She originally thought that these guests came for the master, so they did not show up, but she did not expect that there were so many female guests among them.
She came to entertain Zhou Man and the two princesses.
Wei Zhi, however, had already roughly guessed why they had come, and said to his wife with a smile, "They are all the same age. Let them go play in the garden. We will prepare some food for them."
After that, he instructed Wei Yu, "Wu Lang, take the guests to the garden and entertain the two princesses well."
Wei Yu wondered if his father had secretly drunk some alcohol in the morning, otherwise why would he be talking nonsense?
He has a sister-in-law and nieces at home, so why does he need to entertain female guests?
But Wei Zhi had no intention of changing his ways. He waved his hand and asked him to take everyone to the garden to play.
Madam Wei had already learned from Wei Zhi the previous night that the Emperor was interested in marrying into their family. She couldn't help but glance at Princess Changyu, smiling as she watched them leave for the garden. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's been only half a year since we last met, and Princess Changyu seems to have grown up a bit."
Wei Zhi nodded.
The Wei family's garden is very small. This is the house that Wei Zhi bought himself. After he was conferred the title of Duke of Zheng, the emperor also gave him the house. He lived in it for a while, and then many people gave him beauties and gifts.
Even if he refused, someone would throw things into his wall in the middle of the night, which were either wrapped in gold or silver, causing him great annoyance.
The most important thing is that, apart from his salary and the annual output of his official land, he only received rewards from the palace and had no other additional income.
As for the rewards from the palace, because he always made the emperor angry, compared with other ministers, the rewards he received were not only small, but also very rare.
Duke Zheng's mansion was too big for his family to live in, and they couldn't afford to support so many servants, so Wei Zhi simply moved back to the house he bought.
Although it was small, his sons got married and went to work in other places, so there were basically only a few people in the family. It was definitely enough for them to live in, and they just needed to support a few servants.
Therefore, the Wei family's garden was very small and there were few servants, so many things were done by Wei Yu himself.
He took out the tea leaves, picked up the boiling water from the stove, waited for a moment and then began to make tea for everyone.
After watching for a while, Manbao said to Changyu, "He has a very gentle personality."
Chang Yu said: "I like the domineering ones."
Manbao: "...Senior Yang is obviously very gentle."
Chang Yu said, "That's different. He doesn't have Young Master Yang's talent, nor does he have Young Master Yang's handsomeness."
Wei Yu brewed tea and served them cup after cup. Even Mingda whispered, "How considerate."
Chang Yu hesitated for a moment and then said, "But he doesn't look like someone who can ride a horse and fight. He seems to only be able to hold a book and debate with others. I have a headache when reading."
Mingda thought of his sister falling asleep in class and couldn't help but smile. He lowered his voice and asked, "Isn't this what your sister is most worried about?"
Chang Yu sighed, "Although I know I can't decide who I marry, I still have to marry someone who has a say, right?"
She really can't concentrate on reading.
She said, "I want to marry someone who likes playing polo as much as I do."
Manbao and Mingda: "...Then you can't play polo forever, right?"
Chang Yu asked, "Why not? I can't be an official, and I don't have to work hard to make a living. What else can I do besides playing?"
Manbao felt a little envious when she heard this. She looked at Changyu and said admiringly, "You have a really good life."
Mingda turned around and said to Manbao, "Are you jealous of us?"
Manbao nodded.
Mingda smiled and said, "But we envy you."
Chang Yu thought about it, nodded, and whispered: "I am a little envious of you."
