Chapter 49 (Please Read on) Minglan, You Can Come to Visit Me when You Have Time.
Mrs. Zhang's every word and deed attracted much attention from the Sheng family.
No one would have thought that a dignified lady would actually ask about a concubine?
Wei Shuyi came to his senses, quickly pushed Minglan in front of him, and said with a smile:
"Girl Ming, please pay your respects to Mrs. Guo quickly."
Just as Minglan was about to bow, she heard Mrs. Zhang say:
"It doesn't have to be like this. We will be a family from now on. I am the general of the Zhang family and I never pay attention to these customs."
Will we be a family from now on?
Including Wei Shuyi, Sheng Hong, Wang Ruofu and others all looked surprised.
What is a family?
What does Mrs. Guo mean by this?
There seems to be no other way for two families to become one apart from getting married, right?
etc.
marriage?
Isn’t the legitimate son of a British prince reaching marriageable age?
Could it be
When Sheng Hong thought of this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
This overwhelming wealth just hit my Sheng family? Isn't it too unrealistic? !
However, Mrs. Zhang's eyes always fell on Wei Shuyi and Minglan.
As for Sheng Hong and the others
She didn't care at all.
The family she said was the same family as the 'Wei family', not the Sheng family.
But no matter what, when Mrs. Zhang spoke like this, Sheng Hong, Wang Ruofu and others all seemed to have exploded, and they said excitedly one after another:
"Family? Yes, yes, we are not outsiders. Madam, would you like to have a chat in the main hall? The food and wine are ready."
"Madam, please——"
"."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "I'm sorry, but you should keep in mind what I just said. I will talk to you about some things later."
The implication is that, as a family, I am talking to Wei Shuyi, not to you Sheng family.
After a pause, Mrs. Zhang took off the jade pendant from her waist, handed it to Minglan, touched her little head, and said with a smile:
"This jade pendant was given to me by the Queen Mother when I was young. I have worn it for many years and my taste has been very good. When I saw Minglan today, I really liked it, so I gave it to Minglan."
The words just fell.
Wei Shuyi was suddenly shocked, "Mrs. Guo, this is too valuable. Minglan, please return the jade pendant to Mrs. Guo quickly!"
That was a gift from the Queen Mother!
This special meaning may be difficult for Minglan to bear.
With that said, Minglan returned the jade pendant to Mrs. Zhang.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "I regard Yuan'er as my biological son, and the elder of the couple. I gave Minglan this jade pendant. As a junior, I cannot refuse."
Wei Shuyi had no choice but to stop refusing and quickly asked Minglan to thank Mrs. Zhang.
Minglan held the jade pendant and immediately said, "Mrs. Xie Guo."
Mrs. Zhang touched her little head, feeling increasingly happy.
Lin Sushuang, Mo Lan, Wang Ruofu, Ru Lan and others all looked at Minglan with jealousy or envy.
Except for the jade pendant.
The most important reason is that Mrs. Zhang claims to be Minglan's elder.
Then from now on, no one in the entire capital would dare to bully Minglan.
Afterwards, everyone walked into Sheng's house.
Arriving at the lobby, Mrs. Zhang ordered people to bring several boxes of gifts that she had brought.
Let Mo Lan, Ru Lan, Chang Bai and other young Sheng family members choose gifts.
Later, Mrs. Zhang had lunch at Sheng's house.
When everyone is chatting.
Only then did Mrs. Zhang look at Wei Shuyi and tell her the purpose of her trip.
"I just said that I have something to talk to you about."
"Actually, it's about Yuan'er's marriage."
Wang Ruofu thought that it was the British Prime Minister who had chosen the children of their Sheng family.
As a result, when I heard it, I was disappointed.
It turns out that they came here just because of Wei Shuyi's younger brother.
Sheng Hong is very tolerant.
Although he had just considered the idea of getting married between the two families, when he thought about it again, it was unrealistic.
After all, the British government had no dealings with their Sheng family.
Even if there were, it wouldn't be as high as that. After all, it was a British government!
Wei Shu said subconsciously: "My younger brother's marriage? What does Mrs. Guo mean?"
The only people sitting in the main hall were Sheng Hong, Wang Ruofu, Wei Shuyi and Minglan.
Needless to say about the first two, when people come to Shengjia, they go to the latter two.
As for Lin Sushuang, she is not qualified to stand here.
However, Sheng Changfeng and Sheng Changbai were reading and drinking tea behind the screen.
Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "Yuan'er will be nineteen years old after this year. He is not young. It is time to get married."
"You are her eldest sister. Since ancient times, an eldest sister has been like a mother, so I have been thinking about this matter for a while and want to talk to you about it."
What does she mean by this? She has already found a good family for her little brother? Wei Shuyi thought to himself and said:
"I wonder which family Mrs. Guo told me about the marriage?"
The marriage arranged by Mrs. Ren's country is naturally excellent.
Wei Shuyi was just curious and didn't dare to get involved in too many things.
Minglan stood behind her, listening carefully with her ears raised.
She was naturally concerned about her uncle's marriage.
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "I have a daughter who is a few years younger than Yuan'er. I think that when my daughter grows up to have hairpins, she will marry Yuan'er."
The words just fell.
Everyone in the entire main hall was deeply shocked.
Mrs. Guo wants to marry her daughter to Wei Yuan?
This answer was beyond everyone's expectations.
Wei Shuyi was extremely surprised. His younger brother was originally a disciple of the Duke of England. If he married the daughter of the Duke of England, it would be a perfect match!
For his younger brother, it was definitely a matter of great benefit and no harm.
It was a great thing for the Wei family to be related to such a prominent family as the Zhang family!
Although Minglan was young, she had been with the old lady for a long time and understood some things.
So, she was laughing and was happy for her uncle from the bottom of her heart.
Paused.
When Wei Shuyi recovered from the surprise, he said a little helplessly:
"Madam Guo, this... I... I... This is a great thing!"
She rarely lost her composure like today.
Madam Zhang waved at her, called her to her side, then held her hand affectionately and said:
"From now on, our Zhang family and your younger brother are one family."
Wei Shuyi nodded repeatedly, "Everything is up to Madam Guo, but does my younger brother know about this?"
It is true that she is Wei Yuan's eldest sister, but she has never thought about making decisions for Wei Yuan.
Especially such an important matter as marriage.
Madam Zhang smiled and said, "Yuan'er said that as long as Guifen reaches the age of 15, she will be married."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu were somewhat embarrassed.
They were talking about the Wei family, which had nothing to do with their Sheng family!
Since everything that should be said has been said, there is no need for Madam Zhang to continue staying in the Sheng family.
Before leaving, she specifically told Wei Shuyi and Minglan:
"If you have nothing to do, you two can often go to the mansion to play. I have nothing to do at home, and you can come and talk to me for a while."
Wei Shuyi nodded repeatedly, "I will follow the words of Madam Guo."
Mrs. Zhang looked at Minglan again and said, "If your mother doesn't go, you go. After a while, I will send someone to pick you up. How about staying with me for a few days?"
Wei Shuyi blurted out: "Madam Guo, this..."
She couldn't go to visit the Duke of Ying's mansion.
The main reason was that she felt that her status was too low, and she didn't want to cause trouble for her younger brother.
She didn't want to go, so she naturally didn't want Minglan to go.
What if this girl said something wrong?
However, Madam Zhang had made up her mind,
"Okay, it's settled. I like Minglan very much."
