In recent years, as Wei Miao grew up, more and more people came to propose marriage to him. Among the sons of Prime Minister Wei, who wouldn't want to marry a daughter of a noble family?
But when Wei Min heard someone mention marrying her son, her face darkened, and it was obvious that she was reluctant to do so.
Now Jinyu actually asked Jiang Wuque to act as a matchmaker for her. He is a smart man. If it were someone else, they might not even be able to enter the Wei Mansion.
After Jiang Wuque left, when A'ruan came over, Wei Min was still sitting at the stone table.
Ah Ruan saw his flower pot at a glance and immediately asked in confusion: "Why are my flowers bald?"
Wei Min came back to his senses, his eyes full of apology. Afraid that A'ruan would be angry, he quickly diverted his attention and told him about Jin Yu's proposal.
Ah Ruan instantly forgot about the flower when she heard that. She sat next to Wei Min and said with a smile, "Miao Miao will be coming of age this year. It's time to talk about family matters."
He knew his wife was reluctant to let him go, so he raised his hand and patted the back of her hand to comfort her, "When our son grows up, he will naturally get married. We can't keep him here forever."
Wei Min frowned and retorted softly, "Why can't we keep her? If Miaomiao doesn't want to get married, we can still support her."
Ah Ruan glanced at Wei Min and said angrily, "I know you love Miao Miao. Fortunately, Xiao Shu is a daughter, otherwise you will definitely accuse me of being partial."
Wei Min sighed, stood up, put his arm around A'ruan's shoulders and pulled her into his arms, saying softly, "I don't love Miaomiao, I love you."
A'ruan looked up at her in confusion, obviously not understanding what Wei Min meant.
Wei Min had never said this to A'ruan or Miaomiao. Now that she heard her husband think that she loved her son the most, she explained, "Xiao Shu is like me, and Miaomiao is most like you."
"Everyone says that I love my son, but in fact, I love Miaomiao as much as I love you."
Wei Min stroked A'ruan's shoulder with his thumb, his eyes gentle, "I can't bear to see you suffer even a little bit, so naturally I can't bear to see Miaomiao suffer either."
The smile in A Ruan's eyes spread to the corners of her eyes and eyebrows as Wei Min spoke, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but lift to the sides. He raised his hand to hold Wei Min's waist, raised his head and said softly: "My dear wife, you and I will not be able to accompany Miaomiao to old age. After a hundred years, Miaomiao will not lack food and clothing, but she will always be alone. How can you and I bear this?"
Wei Min frowned tightly and said nothing for a long time. It was obvious that A'ruan's words had an impact on her.
After much deliberation, Wei Min finally decided to listen to her husband and leave the decision to Wei Miao. As for what kind of wife to marry, he would choose.
When the ladies in the capital heard that Prime Minister Wei's son was going to choose a wife, they immediately became excited.
Wei Min had been an official for many years, and his ability to judge people was unmatched by others.
She selected some young people with good character and family background, who seemed to be passable, and invited them to visit the Wei Mansion when they had time, and asked Wei Miao to choose carefully to see if there was any that he was satisfied with.
Because Jin Yu was recommended by Jiang Wuque, Wei Min gave face to the emperor and tacitly allowed her to come to the Wei Mansion.
All the ladies knew why they came to the Wei Mansion today, so they all dressed up carefully and looked energetic.
Especially Jinyu, she felt that she had never been so nervous even during the palace examination. When facing the left prime minister, he straightened his back to show his superior side.
When Wei Miao learned that Wei Min was going to choose a wife for him, he blushed so much that he ate another plate of cakes out of nervousness.
Wei Shu laughed at him, "You little greedy cat, if you keep eating, you won't be able to get married."
Before Wei Miao could say anything, Ah Ruan raised her hand and patted Wei Shu lightly, saying angrily, "What are you talking about?"
Wei Shu chuckled, folded his hands and lay on the table, whispering to Wei Miao, "Don't be afraid, if you can't get married, you will be supported by your sister. Don't worry, you will definitely not be short of snacks and pastries."
Wei Miao didn't know whether he heard it or not, and he finished the biscuit in his hand with a smile.
When Wei Miao was choosing a wife, Jiang Wuque and his wife came over with their son and talked to Wei Min from behind, "I tell you, Miao Miao will definitely be interested in Jin Yu. I've seen her, and among all those people, she is the most beautiful and has an outstanding temperament."
Wei Min was always dissatisfied with the Duke of Jin's Mansion behind Jin Yu, and his favorable impression of her also decreased a lot. "Miao Miao is not a person who only cares about appearance."
She herself felt unconfident when she said this. With just one glance, what else could she see besides the face...
The Wei residence held a grand banquet, under the pretext that Prime Minister Wei was hosting the banquet, but in reality it was to let Wei Miao choose a wife.
After a busy day, when the outsiders were sent away at night, the Wei and Jiang families sat together and asked Wei Miao, "Do you have any favorites?"
Wei Miao held the teacup in both hands, her face flushed but her eyes sparkling. She bit her lip and whispered shyly, "Yes."
Jiang Wuque raised his eyebrows at Wei Min, and Wei Min immediately had a bad feeling.
As expected, Wei Miao said shyly: "The first person who sat on my left hand side during tea time in the afternoon looked very nice."
Wei Min's face darkened. Sitting on her left was Jin Yu. "What's so good about her?"
Wei Miao blinked, a little shy, "It's just, it's really pretty."
Wei Min: “…”
Jiang Wuque clapped his legs and laughed. Seeing Wei Miao's face flushed, he hurriedly said, "Miao Miao, I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at your mother."
Wei Min had told her before that Miaomiao was not someone who only looked at appearance, but she was slapped in the face by her own son.
Jiang Wuque restrained his smile and said to Wei Miao: "In fact, Jinyu is not only pretty, but you will slowly find out after spending more time with her that she is actually a good person."
Since Wei Miao likes it, that's all we can do.
After Jiang Wuque and Feng Yu left, Wei Miao nervously walked to A Ruan with his hands clenched, and asked hesitantly: "Dad, is Mom unhappy?"
He carefully looked at Wei Min's face. Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, he bit his lip, squatted down and lay on A Ruan's legs, raised his head and said, "Dad, if you and mom don't like her, then Miao Miao won't like her either."
Wei Min's heart trembled slightly. He lowered his eyes, slowly gathered his fingertips together, clenched them into fists, and his throat was blocked and he couldn't speak.
"Silly child," Ah Ruan's eyes were a little moist. She raised her hand and touched Wei Miao's head, saying, "It's not that your mother doesn't like the person you chose. Your mother just doesn't want you to get married."
Wei Miao smiled, "If my parents can't bear to let me go, then Miao Miao doesn't have to get married."
"That's even more unbearable," Ah Ruan was so warmed by the little cotton jacket on her knees that she shed tears, "If you don't get married, who will accompany you in the future?"
Wei Miao was definitely going to get married, and the date was set at the end of the year. Wei Min asked someone to calculate it, and the person said that day was the most auspicious.
Although Jin Yu wanted to marry the man tomorrow, she did not dare to disobey Wei Min's decision. Wei Xiangneng has done his best by letting Miaomiao get married this year.
Jinyu is this year's new top scholar, so naturally he will join the Hanlin Academy.
As the left prime minister, Wei Min was busy with official duties on weekdays and seldom came here in person and stayed. But since Jin Yu entered the Hanlin Academy, she came here every now and then, scaring the Hanlin scholars into fear and trepidation.
Wei Min came again today, wearing a dark red official uniform and standing at the gate of the Hanlin Academy. Everyone looked at Jin Yu with a look of understanding and sympathy.
——Look, your father-in-law is here again...
Jin Yu was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She quickly put down her official duties and followed her superior to go out in person to greet him.
The head scholar came over, bowed and asked Wei Min: "Prime Minister Wei, are you here to tell me something important?"
Wei Min actually came to see Jin Yu, but he didn't even glance at her after he came over, as if he didn't know her. He took out his hand from behind his back and handed the document to the dean scholar, "It's nothing, I just brought this thing to you."
The dean took the document and said with a twitch in his mouth, "It's just a small matter, why bother you to come here in person? Just let the servants deliver it."
Wei Min waved his hand, stepped into the Hanlin Academy, sat down on the main seat, and said, "I just happened to be on my way."
Everyone in the room wanted to yell at her when they heard what she said: What the hell are you doing? ?
Wei Min was also considerate. She let them do their own things while she sat here for a while.
The dean glanced at Jinyu, and seeing that she was still standing there and didn't dare to leave, he waved his hand helplessly and told her to go and get busy.
She came over and sat down with Wei Min and talked to her, mentioning Jin Yu's performance in the Hanlin Academy intentionally or unintentionally.
"Although this child is young, he works diligently." The dean did not exaggerate or belittle, but spoke very objectively.
Wei Min lowered his eyes and listened, humming as he drank his tea. He left only when he was satisfied.
The head scholar let his arms hang down in front of him, folded his hands on his abdomen, and watched Wei Min leave with a smile. After she walked away, he said to Jin Yu beside him: "You, Taiyue, are very interesting."
If it weren't for Jin Yu, she wouldn't have known that Wei Xiang was such an interesting person. She really loved her son to the core.
Time flies, and it’s the end of the year in a blink of an eye.
When Prime Minister Wei's son got married, the Emperor and the Empress added dowry to their wedding. The servants who carried the dowry took a whole day to finish carrying it. The scale of the dowry was comparable to that of a prince's wedding. The red dowry stretched for more than ten miles, and it was the envy of everyone in the capital.
On the day Wei Miao got married, Wei Min was exceptionally silent. She was always so calm and composed in front of outsiders, and only people close to her could see that she was actually upset.
A'ruan is Wei Min's bedmate, and she knows best that his wife tossed and turned in bed until midnight last night and couldn't fall asleep because she couldn't bear to leave.
When the time came, Jin Yu rode on horseback and led the wedding procession to the gate of Wei Mansion. The crackling sound of firecrackers immediately resounded throughout the capital.
Wei Shu carried Wei Miao, who was dressed in red, out of the house and carried him all the way to the front door.
Jin Yu, Wei Min and A Ruan were already waiting there.
Wei Shu put Wei Miao down and led him to his parents.
A Ruan's eyes were red, obviously she had been crying. She held Wei Miao's hand with sobs and was unable to speak.
Wei Min stood beside the father and son with one hand behind her back, looking sternly at the man who was going to marry her son, and said in a deep voice: "I don't care what your Duke's Mansion is like, or what your Jin Mansion is like, I have never been willing to touch a finger of my son since he was a child. Now that he is married to you, no matter what he does wrong in the future, or how big the mistake is, you are not allowed to scold him, send him back to me, and I, Wei Min, will discipline him myself."
Jin Yu looked serious and bowed, "Taiyue, don't worry. Now that I've married Miaomiao, I will love and protect him like you do, and I won't let anyone bully him, including myself."
Wei Shu smiled and put his arm around Jin Yu's shoulders, "Anyone can say this if they want to. As for whether they can do it, I saw it with my own eyes."
Wei Shu pointed his thumb at Wei Miao behind him, without even turning his head, his eyes fixed on Jin Yu's face, "Whether I saw it with my own eyes or heard it from others, I'm telling you this today. If you do anything to my Miao Miao in the slightest, I, Wei Shu, will spend all my family's wealth to make you live a life worse than death."
Her tone and expression were serious, and she didn't seem to be joking. Wei Min stood aside without saying anything, obviously tacitly approving her to do this.
Everyone at the gate of the Wei Mansion took a deep breath when they heard this, and lamented that it was really not that easy to marry the son of the Wei family.
Jin Yu looked calm and composed, with a smile on her face, and said to Wei Shu, "Don't worry, sister, you will definitely save this money."
Wei Shu is the same age as Wei Miao, and Jin Yu is one year older than Wei Miao. Yet, she calls her "Sister" without any shame.
Wei Shu patted her shoulder and let go with a smile, "That's better."
Before leaving, Wei Miao stood in front of Wei Min and said with a sob: "Mom, Miao Miao will take good care of herself, don't worry."
Wei Min pursed his lips, clenched his hands behind his back, and spoke after a while, "Miao Miao, you don't have to be strong and worry about your mother, and you don't have to take care of yourself. If you feel unhappy after marriage, you don't have to pack up your things, and I will come back and continue to be your little master."
"Mom." Wei Miao burst into tears and was reluctant to leave.
Jin Yu was worried. She looked at her husband who was only one step away from getting married. She was afraid that he would not marry her at this time. She called him softly, "Miao, Miaomiao..."
As soon as I opened my mouth, I realized my voice was trembling.
Wei Miao sobbed and turned his head to look at Jin Yu. The veil on her head was a red gauze, which did not affect her vision much. Wei Miao saw Jin Yu's hand in front of her through the gauze, pursed his lips, and hesitantly put his fingertips on it.
Jin Yu's heart suddenly relaxed when she touched the softness in her palm, and the smile on her face was even softer than before.
The person I have been thinking about for more than ten years, I finally got to marry him today.
The whole family felt sad and reluctant to let go of one person who was missing from the family. On the night Wei Miao got married, Wei Shu wanted to go and bring her back. Wei Min hesitated for a moment but did not say anything to stop him.
Ah Ruan was reluctant to let them go, but still stopped the mother and daughter, "Miao Miao will be back in three days. If you go to pick her up now, people will laugh at you."
When they mentioned that there were still three days left, the mother and daughter suddenly lost their appetite even for dinner.
Three days later, Jin Yu returned with Wei Miao.
Wei Miao was obviously living well in the Jin Mansion. He was still as naive and greedy as before he got married. Jin Yu must be holding him in the palm of her hand and loving him very much.
Knowing that Wei Miao was living a very good life after marriage, the three people in the Wei Mansion felt relieved.
Although his son is married, Xin Li will be married into the family after the New Year. So, after all the calculations, there are still four people in the Wei Mansion, and it is very lively.
In addition, Wei Miao brought Jin Yu back to live with him every now and then, so the Wei Mansion suddenly had six people again, making a lot of money.
The author has something to say: Wei Min: Haha, the Wei family never does business that loses money╯^╰
