Wei Caier blushed. She didn't expect her mother to ask this suddenly, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
At this time, Madam Wei glared at Wei Cai'er fiercely, thinking, "You're screwed! I can't count on you at the critical moment. If you are really so coy, when can I expect you to get married?"
Seeing her mother winking at her frantically, Wei Cai'er was stunned for a moment before she quickly spoke, "I've heard Brother Lu talk about this before. His family was very poor, and his father died when he was young, leaving them alone with only his mother and an orphan. Later, times got tough, and his mother fell seriously ill and didn't survive, so he was all alone."
"Master, you said this child is so pitiful. Let me tell you, he should find a good family to marry into. In this way, the family will be harmonious and there will be someone who cares about him." Mrs. Wei began to increase the intensity of Wei Yong like crazy.
After hearing this, Wei Yong snorted coldly and said, "Son-in-law? What are you thinking? Although this guy is a bit slippery, he is capable. He has the capital to be arrogant."
Wei Yong pointed at the words on the bookshelves and said, "Do you see the look on the faces of these scholars? Do you really think that a few random words can destroy their elegance? When I first saw these words and learned that those books were gone, my heart almost broke."
"He knows so many Confucian classics that even we, the disciples of Confucianism, don't know. This proves that his lineage is extraordinary. Moreover, he can openly share some of my Confucian classics so openly, allowing us to pick them up again. Which scholar dares to say that he doesn't appreciate this favor?"
"Don't underestimate the scholars in the world. Even with just one or two sentences, we scholars can rebuild a Confucian school. When these schools really grow and develop, you will see Lu Chen's status and position in Confucianism and among these schools."
Madam Wei nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, this child is generous. I've seen that a long time ago. He doesn't have any so-called prejudice. Just as the master said, he is a little arrogant and sometimes does things in a shaky way. In this respect, he can't compare to the master."
As they were an old married couple, Mrs. Wei certainly knew very well how to speak to please Wei Yong, the obedient donkey.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Wei Yong's face also showed a rare smug look. He said: "That's for sure. Even if his master's school integrates the strengths of hundreds of schools, the accumulation and precipitation of years will not be given to him."
"But then again, if he really has such great abilities and is as calm as I am, then I would really be worried. I'm worried that he has big plans."
"It's pretty good now. As a young man, you're so capable, and you've made so many great achievements. It's normal for you to be a little arrogant and domineering."
"You can't just give in on everything, or you'll end up suffering sooner or later. My husband should give him more advice on this point. I think he's actually quite willing to chat with you. When he returns to the capital, have him come over to visit us."
"Poor thing, no one has shown any concern for him for so many years. I heard he's risking his life treating the plague outside, yet someone in the court is trying to trip him up. These people are truly evil-minded."
Wei Yong stroked his beard and snorted, "Some people have indeed gone too far. For their own petty gains, they've even disregarded the country. But don't worry, Madam. I refuted those people in the court today. I also see that the six ministers and His Majesty haven't listened to their slander."
"That's good. There are always sensible people in the court. Master, what is the status of the Imperial Master now? Can the Taoist rules still restrain him? Does he have any thoughts of returning to secular life?"
"Let me tell you, he's still young, he should think about his future. He can't just stay single for the rest of his life at this age."
"I heard that some Taoists can get married and have children, but after having children they are still obsessed with practicing Taoism and have no time to take care of them."
"Let me tell you, this isn't a problem at all. Those who can marry the Imperial Master must be from wealthy families. Even if the Imperial Master doesn't care, can the woman's family really do the same? Maybe the woman would rather the Imperial Master not care, because then her family would be raising a child for her!"
Mrs. Wei's output intensity was raised to a higher level again, and she was almost about to tell Wei Yong directly.
Wei Yong was not a fool either. The corner of his mouth twitched and the hand that was grabbing his beard trembled for a while.
As a local, doesn't he know what's going on between his daughter and Lu Chen?
Some time ago, in order to stop the girl from having any thoughts, she was confined to her home for a long time.
I thought that Lu Chen had gone to the south and the matter would end there, but I didn't expect that my daughter would collude with my wife at home without checking.
What made him even more panic was that he felt that what his wife said made sense! Especially the sentence about raising a child for himself, which almost brought out the devil in Wei Yong's heart!
Fortunately, at this moment, a surprised voice suddenly came from the side: "Isn't this Master Wei? I didn't expect you to be here today."
Wei Yong turned around and saw that it was actually the Minister of Rites, Ke Fuji. He hurriedly bowed and said, "It's you, Lord Ke. It's a pleasure to meet you. What's this, Lord Ke?"
"I got off work early today and had nothing to do at home, so I decided to come to the library to sit and read some new and interesting books. I didn't expect to meet Lord Wei here. I happened to bring some good tea today, so why not invite Lord Wei to discuss Buddhist scriptures with me."
