Chapter 156 How Can the General Be Down There?
Wei Qingyan originally planned to give Du Xueyi some livelihood so that Du Xueyi, the Marquis of Anyuan, would not have to rely solely on salary to support his family.
But there was no one in the Anyuan Marquisate who was good at business, and she didn't have the time to take charge of this matter.
Cui Yingying is interested in business, and now is an opportunity.
Wei Qingyan decided to open a shop in the name of Anyuan Marquis Mansion and hand it over to Cui Yingying to manage. As for what business to do, it depends on what Cui Yingying is good at.
She originally came just to express her gratitude, but unexpectedly she was taken in. Cui Yingying was so grateful that she wanted to kneel down to Wei Qingyan.
She had said those words in a heroic manner before, but as a woman who had to make a living in the capital with no one to rely on, how could she really not be afraid at all?
As soon as she bent her knees, Wei Qingyan lifted her up and said, "No need to kneel down. I just hired you. We are not master and servant.
If you really want to thank me, then use your best skills to help me run the shop."
If you try your best and it still doesn't work, Cui Yingying has probably given up on doing business, and it won't be difficult to find another job for her.
But if she succeeds, she will have found a treasure.
The three of them had already decided on their destinations, and Xiao Zhian and Wang Zhi were about to say goodbye and leave. Wei Qingyan sent a guard out to take Wang Zhi to the escort agency.
Cui Yingying stayed behind and escaped from the farm with only the same clothes she was wearing now, which were bought for her by Xiao Zhian.
If you don't have any luggage, you don't have to pick up your luggage.
Wei Qingyan originally wanted to place her in Yan Lan's yard and live with her, but after Yan Lan heard about it, she decided to take Cui Yingying to the Yan family.
"I'm a widow, and it's inconvenient for me to live in the Marquis' Mansion all the time. So, I asked someone to clean up the Yan Residence."
Yan Lan smiled and said, "You are busy every day, so I didn't tell you to let Miss Cui go back with me so that I can have a companion.
I also have some dowry and am worried about how to take care of it, so I'll take this opportunity to learn from Miss Cui."
The emperor required Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu to get married within a year. After the marriage, she would move into Prince Rong's Mansion. By then, Yan Lan would still be living in Marquis Anyuan's Mansion, which might indeed be gossiped about.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Wei Qingyan did not try to persuade her to stay. "I'll assign two guards to you."
Yan Lan smiled again, "No need, my elder sister has already found two maids who are good at fighting and kicking for me, as well as a few maids who can do the rough work. They have all been settled in the Yan residence a few days ago."
The elder sister she was referring to was Wei Shiran.
Wei Qingyan knew that they had been very close recently. Not only did her elder sister take care of her like her own daughter, she also cared about Yan Lan as well.
The eldest sister takes care of everything, so she really doesn't need to worry about anything.
Yan Lan said with some embarrassment, "Jingzhe also found two people for me. They are veterans who retired from the battlefield. Although they are disabled, they are enough to guard the house."
Jingzhe?
Wei Qingyan was rarely sensitive in love affairs.
Because of his familiarity with Yan Qing, Jingzhe has always been more caring towards Yan Lan. The previous thing that gave her a good reputation was done by the two of them together.
She looked as if she understood, which made Yan Lan blush slightly.
Wei Qingyan knew that Yan Lan cared about her identity and that some things needed to be done slowly. It would be great if she could break through the worldly constraints and get out of it.
Therefore, without asking any more questions, he agreed to let Yan Lan move out.
When Du Xueyi came back, she told him about this.
Du Xueyi was a little disappointed. "Now that Yan Lan is gone, my Xiaoxiao will probably be very sad. When you and Prince Rong get married, it will be just the two of us, father and daughter, left in this mansion."
It's so depressing.
"Have you ever thought about starting a family again?"
Xiaoxiao is still young, and Du Xueyi is busy with official duties all day long, so the mansion always needs a mistress to take care of it.
What's more, Du Xueyi is only in his early twenties, holds the title of Marquis of Anyuan, and serves as the Minister of Justice. I'm afraid that many people in the capital are eyeing his position in the backyard.
Du Xueyi seemed to think it over seriously. "I haven't thought about it yet. I'm worried that others will treat Xiaoxiao badly."
Everyone has his own destiny.
Du Xueyi and Xiaoxiao looked at each other, and they had not yet completely come out of the shadow of the previous events.
Wei Qingyan was not the type to act as a matchmaker, so she nodded lightly to end the topic. When she was about to leave, she saw that Du Xueyi seemed to be hesitant to speak.
She frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"
Du Xueyi hesitated and said, "Boss, is it still unclear what is going on with the Merit Seal?"
Wei Qingyan didn't know what he was going to say, so he didn't say anything, but raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him.
Du Xueyi said, "The Emperor has asked me and Prince Rong to investigate the Huangshaling incident. I will do my best to avenge you and your brothers.
If...if you don't want to, then you don't have to force yourself to marry Prince Rong."
Even though his body is that of a woman, the general's soul is still that of a strong man.
He once put himself in Du Xueyi's shoes and imagined himself. If he were asked to marry a man, the hairs on his body would immediately stand on end. However, the general would have to deal with Prince Rong every day.
The general is really wronged.
Seeing him like this, Wei Qingyan was angry and a little moved, and finally said, "I like him."
So don't feel wronged.
Unexpectedly, Du Xueyi jumped up and crossed his arms, "Boss, why do you like men too?"
Wei Qingyan, "..."
She is a woman, so naturally she likes men.
"Boss, you are mighty and strong, standing tall and upright, how can you be willing to be pinned down by him...ah..." Before Du Xueyi could finish his words, a stone hit his forehead.
Wei Qingyan looked at Xiaoxiao who was running closer, and threw the other stone in his hand onto the ground along the hem of his skirt.
I wanted to tell him that I was a woman, but I was too lazy to say it now. Let him worry about it.
Fortunately, Xiaoxiao probably didn’t hear what was said just now, or she probably didn’t understand what was said.
Du Xueyi touched his forehead, immersed in the shock that the general actually liked men and was willing to marry Prince Rong.
When I came to my senses, I saw Wei Qingyan had already walked away with Xiaoxiao in his arms.
He hurriedly chased after him, wanting to find out whether the general was trying to comfort him or was really a homosexual.
Xiaoxiao leaned on Wei Qingyan's shoulder, thinking that Du Xueyi was playing with them, and giggled, "Aunt, run, Daddy is chasing us."
Children's laughter always makes people happy for some reason. Wei Qingyan helped Xiaoxiao and took her to climb walls and climb roofs. Du Xueyi followed behind them, so happy that he temporarily put aside the questions he was about to ask Wei Qingyan.
The next day was the day when the national defense general's grave was moved.
The emperor attached great importance to it and asked his eunuch Feng Ruobao and the chief inspector of the Imperial Observatory to be present in person to oversee the relocation of the tomb.
The Anyuan Marquis's family, the Gong family, the Yu family, and several other families that were once close to the General Protector's Mansion, including Wei Wanyi, Yan Lan and others, arrived at the cemetery early.
Madam Wei was no exception. She was dressed in white and her face was filled with sadness.
Many people who knew the truth also followed, and the tomb of the national defense general was surrounded by a huge crowd.
Although everyone was saddened by the untimely death of the Protector of the Nation General, it was a great honor to be moved into the imperial mausoleum. Moreover, it had been three years since the incident, so the atmosphere was not that heavy.
But when the coffin was opened, everyone's faces changed.
