Chapter 418 Marriage has other arrangements
"Since my sister likes life in the countryside, I wish my sister a comfortable life in the countryside and a good harvest every year."
"I also wish you to fight to the death with a group of women in the deep palace compound." Wei Ruo replied bitterly.
"Then let's wait and see who will regret it first in the future." Wei Qingwan said.
Cui He then said: "Miss, why did you forget that you are going to marry in the capital in the future, and the eldest lady will stay in Taizhou, and you and her will not see each other again. I really want to see you again. Miss, she needs to kneel down and kowtow to you!"
"I forgot." Wei Qingwan smiled, "Okay, give the gift to the eldest lady, we should go back."
"Yes. The servant will give the gift to the eldest lady."
Cui He threw the gift box in Wei Ruo's feet.
Then the master and the servant turned and left proudly.
Xiumei had sharp eyesight and quick hands, picked up the things on the ground and threw them outside the courtyard.
"Take it away, no one cares about your things!"
Then he closed the courtyard door by the way.
After closing the door, Xiumei thought her hands were dirty, so she patted her hands and muttered, "It's really annoying, saying that you don't like us, but you still run towards us!"
Xiumei said again: "Miss Mingming doesn't want to marry a high family at all, but she only thinks that the young lady will marry Mr. Zhao because she can't marry a high family."
"Let her think whatever she wants, leave her alone, don't let her affect our good mood, continue to read the account book! The account book looks happy!"
As soon as he talked about looking at the account books, Wei Ruo immediately put on a playful smile, and completely lost the seriousness and coldness he had when dealing with Wei Qingwan just now.
"Miss, you are not happy looking at the account books, you are happy looking at the money! This time you have made so much money selling coal cotton clothes, and there is still some money left after deducting the silver consumed by the relief. Don't you look happy?"
"That's right, your lady and I like profitable account books. You can also help me look at them later. Sibaozhai, braised meat shop, grain shop, brewery, spice business, tea business... There are still a bunch of accounts to look at."
"Don't, don't, don't," Xiumei quickly waved her hand, "Miss, please forgive me, I can't look at that! My head hurts when I look at the accounts, and my head is dizzy and dizzy! Miss, let me do something else Well, I'm good at physical work, you can ask me to chop wood, just don't let me settle the score!"
Wei Ruo smiled, reached out and poked Xiumei on the forehead.
"You, you, after so long, I'm still afraid of seeing the account books. I think it's scary that wolves, tigers and leopards don't have any account books."
"That's right, I'm not afraid of wolves, tigers and leopards! As long as I have a good weapon in my hand, I'll kill all wolves, tigers and leopards, and I'll serve it to you, miss!"
"Okay, okay, you don't look at the account books, you go to get a carriage. I plan to improve our carriage again, make it stronger, have more functions, and be able to carry more things."
The experience of being trapped in the snow last time gave Wei Ruo the idea of upgrading their exclusive carriage. Now that the snow disaster has passed, she will put this idea into action when she has time.
"Okay, this is no problem, leave it to me! If you come up with an idea, miss, I will take care of it and make sure to fix it!" Xiumei agreed, patting her chest.

The next day, the Zhao family brothers invited a matchmaker to come to the General's Mansion to propose marriage.
The parents of the Zhao family brothers are both deceased, so Zhao Hai, the eldest brother, will speak on behalf of them.
Wei Mingting invited the two brothers into the main hall, and was about to discuss with them in detail when Wei Mingyong walked in suddenly.
"You guys go back first, my eldest girl won't promise you kiss."
Wei Mingyong directly issued an order to expel the Zhao family brothers.
Hearing this, Wei Mingting stood up and asked Wei Mingyong, "What are you doing, brother?"
"Third brother, you listen to me on this matter. We will make another arrangement for Ruo'er's marriage."
Wei Mingting frowned: "Brother, Ruo'er is my daughter, and I will decide her marriage."
Wei Mingting's majestic expression overwhelmed his elder brother Wei Mingyong.
Seeing Wei Mingting, who has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, showing such an expression, Wei Mingyong felt timid for a moment.
But it was only for a moment, and he quickly refuted Wei Mingting's words confidently: "Third brother, this is not what my second brother meant, but what my parents meant."
As he spoke, Wei Mingyong handed over a letter.
Wei Mingting frowned even more, and he took the letter from Wei Mingyong's hand.
After unfolding it, Wei Mingting's expression darkened obviously after reading the contents of the letter.
Wei Mingyong came over and patted Wei Mingting on the shoulder, and said, "Third brother, the letter from parents has clearly stated what they mean, and they will make other arrangements for the marriage of the eldest daughter of the uncle's family, so don't worry about it! "
Wei Mingting asked Wei Mingyong in a deep voice: "Did brother write to parents?"
Wei Mingyong generously admitted: "It was indeed I who wrote to tell my parents. When the Zhao family brothers came to the door a few days ago, I guessed that you might agree to the third brother. I didn't expect that I really guessed right."
Wei Mingyong said again: "Third brother, you are at fault for this matter. You wanted to settle Ruo'er's marriage without informing your parents in advance. There is a great suspicion that you will kill Ruo'er first."
Wei Mingting looked at Wei Mingyong, unable to refute his words, because he really meant to kill first and play later.
He guessed that the elders who were far away in the capital might not agree with him marrying his daughter to a scholar with no background, so he didn't inform him about it in advance.
He planned to notify the two elders after the engagement ceremony was completed. Even if the two elders were not satisfied with the marriage, they would object because of the bad reputation of the Wei family girl.
Seeing that Wei Mingting remained silent, Wei Mingyong turned around and issued the order to expel the Zhao family brothers again.
Zhao Hai and Zhao Xun showed embarrassment, and they looked at each other.
Zhao Xun didn't want to give up on this, and asked Wei Mingting again for instructions: "Master Wei, Mr. Zhao is only from a family background, but after marrying Mrs. Wei, Mr. Zhao will definitely work harder to get fame. I also ask Mr. Wei to give Mr. Zhao a chance!"
Wei Mingting looked at the sincere Zhao Xun, and was about to speak when Wei Mingyong interrupted him.
"Third brother, this is the meaning of the parents. The marriage of the children in the family is decided by the parents. Even if this young master of the Zhao family is really a malleable talent, if you want to marry this kind of marriage, you have to ask your parents first." Only mother will do!"
Then Wei Mingyong impatiently ordered the servants in the mansion to send the Zhao brothers away.
In such a situation, the Zhao brothers had no choice but to leave the General's Mansion.
Wei Mingting asked Wei Mingyong: "Why did brother do this?"
Wei Mingyong replied: "Third brother, although Ruo'er has a bad temper, but she has a beautiful face, even if she can't marry into the royal family like Wanwan, she still has a chance to talk about a good marriage in the capital."
