Chapter 388： Uncle Er

Chapter 388 The Second Boss

The news of Wei Yichen's selection also reached Wei Qingwan's ears.

Wei Qingwan, who heard the news, felt mixed feelings for a while.

She sat quietly in Zhuangzi's dilapidated courtyard, looking into the distance in a daze.

"Miss, are you not happy? It is such an honor for the young master to become a Juren master. In the future, he can take the imperial examination again. If he wins the Jinshi, his future will be limitless." Cui He asked.

"What's the use, he treats me like a stranger now, and if he has the ability in the future, he won't take care of me." Wei Qingwan looked sad and sad.

"Miss, don't think so. Although the Eldest Young Master doesn't treat you very well now, he is your eldest brother. Even if he treats you badly at home, he still has to take care of his brother and sister when he leaves the house. And as long as he has Good luck, Miss, whether you are married or married in the future, your status in your husband's family will be guaranteed." Cui He analyzed for Wei Qingwan.

"How could I not know?" Wei Qingwan naturally knew the stakes, "It's just..."

"Just what?" Cui He asked.

"Young master Qi has no news so far... I don't know if something happened." Wei Qingwan was very worried.

When we met that day, Mr. Qi promised himself that he would write a letter home to mention the matter, and would go to her father to propose marriage.

In recent days, there has been a lot of good news in the family. Her father was promoted to the fifth-rank defense, and her elder brother was promoted again. However, Wei Qingwan has not waited for the news from Qi Zhen for a long time.

He hasn't contacted her for ten days in a row, which made her worried.

"Miss, don't worry, Mr. Qi is a busy person, he must be busy with many things, it's not that he doesn't care about you, miss."

"I trust him, I'm just worried about his family." Wei Qingwan said.

"Miss, don't worry, your current status has risen with the change of the status of the master and the young master, and you are gradually worthy of Mr. Qi." Cui He explained.

"I hope so." Wei Qingwan said.

The matter of Wei Yichen's selection made the Wei family lively for a long time.

During this period, Wei Ruo also heard that Wei Yichen's classmate Xu Fengyuan also won the exam.

Besides, there was another person Wei Ruo knew who also won, and that was Zhao Xun.

This is something Wei Ruo didn't expect. With Zhao Xun's physical condition, it is already very good to be able to complete the exam.

As a result, he still passed the exam, Wei Ruo had no choice but to look at Zhao Xun with admiration.

If this person is in good health, he does not know what achievements he will have in the future.

During this period of time, Wei Mingyong lived in the general's mansion, and talked to Wei Yichen whenever he had time.

Because Wei Mingting is away from the house most of the time, all he can do is to do Wei Yichen's ideological work.

Wei Yichen's reactions were relatively cold, and he treated Wei Mingyong fairly politely, but he was very perfunctory in what he said, and he didn't let go at all, which made Wei Mingyong very depressed.

This day, after finding Wei Yichen to shut the door, he planned to go outside for a walk.

At the door, he met Wei Ruo who had come back from the outside, and Wei Mingyong immediately called to stop Wei Ruo.

"Eldest niece."

Wei Ruo stopped and looked at Wei Mingyong.

It has been several days since Wei Mingyong came to the General's Mansion, and it was the first time that the two met face to face.

On weekdays, Wei Ruo would either stay in his own courtyard or go out, and had little contact with other people in the house, let alone Wei Mingyong.

Wei Mingyong actually wanted to talk to Wei Ruo, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity, and he didn't go directly to Wei Ruo's yard to find her like Wei Yichen.

Today can be regarded as an opportunity for him.

"Second Uncle, what's the matter?" Wei Ruo asked.

Wei Mingyong had a cordial smile on his face: "My niece, my second uncle heard about you when he was in the capital. You really deserve to be the daughter of our uncle Zhongyi's mansion. You have the demeanor of your grandmother back then."

"Second uncle is too much." Wei Ruo smiled politely and alienated.

Wei Mingyong went on to say: "Niece, you are also fourteen years old now. These two years are a good time for you to discuss marriage. If your family can be more famous, it will be easier for you to discuss marriage."

"Marriage is a matter of parents' order and matchmaker's words." Wei Ruo replied.

"But you have to know that the glory of the family is closely related to everyone in the family. No matter when, the Wei family will always be your backer." Wei Mingyong said again.

"It should be like this." Wei Ruo said in a dull tone.

Wei Mingyong then sighed and said: "Hey, it's a pity that your father doesn't understand this principle very well. His mind is only full of how to win battles and how to defend his family and country. He doesn't think about family glory at all."

"Isn't winning the battle the supreme glory of himself and the Wei family? How can the second uncle say that his father doesn't care about the glory of the family?" Wei Ruo asked rhetorically.

"There is nothing wrong with him winning the battle, but this is not a long-term solution. I don't think the Japanese pirates will be able to make trouble for long. If you want to maintain the long-term glory of the Zhongyi House, you have to have a few more capable people in the family, especially those who can come out. Only a few civil servants who can stand in the court can help your father!" Wei Mingyong said.

"Didn't the eldest brother win the exam now? I believe that with the talent of the eldest brother, he will be able to enter the court as an official in a short time, and then he and his father will take care of each other." Wei Ruo said.

"Your eldest brother is still a little younger after all, and if there is no one to support him, it will be very difficult for him to make it to the top."

"The second uncle should let the other cousins ​​in the family work hard, and there are a few more candidates, ah no... It seems that the other cousins ​​haven't been admitted to the scholar, so we should first be admitted to the scholar." Wei Ruo said.

"That's not what I meant." Wei Mingyong frowned.

"What is the second uncle talking about? Don't you hope that there will be more people in the family to help your father? Don't you hope that the family will have more civil servants?" Wei Ruo asked.

Wei Mingyong sighed again: "Hey, let me tell you straight. There is a very good opportunity in front of our Wei family right now. As long as your father nods, our Wei family will have a chance to get His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince. This is much faster than taking the imperial examination.”

Wei Ruo curled her lips into a smile, in fact, she knew what Wei Mingyong meant just now.

"Second Uncle wants to cling to the sixth prince, he should go by himself, what can he do with my father who can't bring enough glory to the family?" Wei Ruo asked rhetorically.

"You child, I have been talking to you for a long time, why do you still not understand? The sixth prince's roll call requires your father and you to assist him, and your father agrees to this matter."

"What the second uncle said is very funny. On the one hand, the second uncle thinks that my father's ability is limited and not enough to support the glory of the Wei family, but on the other hand, he said that only my father promised to serve the sixth prince. Support, so in the end, is my father capable or not?"
