Chapter 288 Endless (one more)

Learn martial arts? Wei Wan was stunned.

Emperor Taizu advocated equality between men and women, and encouraged women to study and practice martial arts. After the first emperor ascended the throne, he highly respected the family, and advocated women to be submissive, chaste, quiet, and knowledgeable. Therefore, she also taught her daughter the same way, letting her learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and women's education. Women's training, etc.

After a brief period of stunnedness, Wei Wan immediately nodded to Gu Yanfei and said, "Okay."

"Good practice martial arts!"

The last time she didn't listen to Gu Yanfei, she almost made a big mistake, and she died with her daughter inexplicably. At this time, she still had lingering fears in retrospect.

If she insisted on letting her daughter learn the crepe, she might bring her daughter some trouble.

Besides, although the girl's family will suffer a lot when learning martial arts, but once she has learned the martial arts, it is her own, and no one can take it away, and her daughter will not be bullied anyway!

Wei Wan turned her head to look at Xu Yao, and gently embraced her daughter's slender shoulders, her eyes loving and gentle.

Xu Yao is a caring and well-behaved girl, she immediately said, "Okay, mother, I want to practice martial arts."

She has learned martial arts, so she can protect her mother!

Xu Yao's pupils lit up slightly.

"Big Brother!" Wei Wan was impatient, she quickly looked at Duke Wei who was sitting diagonally across from her, and said, "Look back and find a better martial artist for Sister Yao."

Duke Wei and Mrs. Wei exchanged a tacit look.

This matter could not be simpler for Duke Wei’s mansion. Mrs. Wei Guo’s wife also came from a family of military commanders, and she kept a number of good female guards by her side.

Mrs. Wei Guogong smiled and said: "Wan'er, what do you think of Qiu Zhuo?"

Qiu Zhuo has been with Mrs. Wei Guogong for more than 20 years. When the former Wei Guogong's wife followed Wei Guogong to guard the frontier, Qiu Zhuo had also been on the battlefield, and being a mere young boy's martial arts master is no longer a problem.

Wei Wan also knew Qiu Zhuo, and she responded with joy: "It's because my sister-in-law gave her love."

In a few words, the two quick-tempered women decided on this matter, so that Gu Yanfei couldn't find a chance to interrupt at all.

Gu Yanfei: "…"

Gu Yanfei silently picked up the tea cup, in fact she was only halfway through what she had just said.

She took a sip of tea, and after the pair of aunts and sister-in-law had discussed it, she continued, "Sister Yao, she's too quiet, she's too good..."

Her meaningful gaze swept over Xu Yao, who was sitting and smiling.

For the girl's family, being quiet and good are originally words of praise, but in the context of Gu Yanfei's current situation, it is thought-provoking.

Wei Wan and Mrs. Wei Guogong were both thoughtful.

Mrs. Wei Guogong guessed that because Xu Yao was here, it was inconvenient to say some things, so she made an excuse as if nothing had happened: "Yan Fei, didn't you say you wanted to give me a few fire carp last time?"

"Sister Yao, can you help your aunt choose?"

Mrs. Wei Guo's question, Xu Yao, who never knew how to refuse, obediently got up and answered, and walked out of the main hall with Juanbi.

Looking at Xu Yao's small figure walking away, Gu Yanfei's eyes became clearer and brighter, and he slowly said, "Ling Ai is too soft, and if it's like this, in nine years, she will definitely have a big somersault in the marriage. , being unkind to others, and being toyed with by the other party."

Her tone was very positive, as if her eyes had already seen Xu Yao's future.

Gu Yanfei just moved a little bit, and Wei Wan couldn't help but start thinking.

Counting the time, nine years later, Xu Yao just arrived.

At the age of fifteen, she will officially take over the Marquis of Ji'an.

One can imagine that by then, her marriage will attract many interested people.

To put it more cruelly, Xu Yao is a piece of fragrant fat, and it will inevitably attract those bloodthirsty tigers and wolves.

How can a delicate little girl who is raised in a deep boudoir fight those tigers and wolves with ulterior motives, Xu Yan's precedent is there.

This time, their mother and daughter met Gu Yanfei only to save her life. Will her daughter still have such good luck after nine years? !

Wei Wan was startled, and the middle clothes on the back were soaked with cold sweat.

Wei Wan said quickly: "Tomorrow I will let Sister Yao start to learn martial arts."

"It's all my fault, I should have taught her when I was a child."

Once upon a time, her daughter was protected by her parents, her eldest brother, and she had a foreign government as her backing. In this life, she only had to find a gentle and loyal husband and live a peaceful and stable life.

To put it bluntly, it was still my fault for being a mother.

Looking at Wei Wan's appearance, Mrs. Wei Guogong thought in her heart that she would simply let a few children in the family accompany them to practice together. The little girls practiced together.

After talking about the business, Mrs. Wei Guogong said jokingly: "When we go back, if Jiao Niang knew that we came to you, she would definitely complain that we didn't bring her to play with us."

Duke Wei and Wei Wan were also amused.

Wei Wan smiled and said, "Yan Fei, I heard from my sister-in-law that you like listening to opera as much as Jiao Niang. I will invite an opera troupe to come back to the house to sing opera. I heard that a Yangzhou opera troupe came to the capital recently. It’s good, and it’s also very interesting to play puppet shows.”

Hearing the puppet show, Gu Yanfei's eyes lit up and he answered happily.

While speaking, Xu Yao came back, and her originally quiet brows became brighter. The maid behind her was carrying a blue and white porcelain fish tank the size of a washbasin.

"Auntie, I've picked out the fire carp, take a look." Xu Yao said to Mrs. Wei Guogong with a smile, slapped her face with a small smile.

Mrs. Wei Guogong smiled and praised Xu Yao's good eyesight.

After speaking for a while, Duke Wei and his party said their goodbyes.

Gu Yanfei personally sent the person to the outer door of Gu Mansion, where the carriages and horses of Duke Wei's mansion stopped.

When they came, the head of Duke Wei came up to greet him casually, glanced at Gu Yanfei quickly, and whispered, "The people from the Xu family went to the Duke's Mansion, and now they are staying at the Duke's Mansion and refuse to leave. "

"Even the former patriarch, Mrs. Xu, came here. You also know that Mr. Xu is an old man. Madam Shizi was afraid that if something happened to Mrs. Xu, she let them in."

To put it bluntly, Mrs. Wei Guogong Shizi was afraid that Mrs. Xu was too emotional. If someone died at the gate of the Guogong's mansion, it would be easy to be taken as a talk and affect Xu Yao's succession.

Duke Wei just nodded slightly, not surprised by the unannounced visit of the Xu clan, he already knew it.

As far as the world is concerned, only men can inherit the family business, and the Xu clan will definitely not be happy to confer the title of Marquis of the Marquis of Ji'an to a girl's family.

Nine times out of ten, they still have the idea of ​​giving the son of the adoptive family to the clan.

Duke Wei and Mrs. Wei looked at each other tacitly, both of them were calm.

After the Wei family and his party said goodbye to Gu Yanfei, the chariots and horses left the Gu residence.

Just as Duke Wei had expected, even if no one in the court objected, the people in the Xu clan still made a riot.

It was proposed that Xu Yan's second brother, Xu Yu, should inherit the title, and then that one of Xu Yu's sons should be adopted to Wei Wan's name. These proposals were dismissed by Duke Wei lightly.

The Xu clan thought that they were retreating and retreating, and finally put forward the condition that the choice of Xu Yao's husband-in-law would be decided by the clan in the future. After Xu Yao gave birth to a boy, he would immediately give the title to Xu Yao's eldest son.

For this matter, the Xu family took the old grandfather Xu back and forth to the Duke Wei's mansion several times.

The various prefectures in the capital were also watching, and most of them were watching this incident, wanting to see how it would develop in the end. For a time, the Wei and Xu families became the focus of the capital.

The first marquis since the founding of the Dajing Dynasty also caused a lot of waves among the people, just like a stone stirred up a thousand waves.

There are some sour scholars and old scholars in the academies and teahouses that they keep saying that it is ridiculous for women to hold the title, which is a sign of the chicken Sichen and the generals of the country, and they are very sad;

But there are some wealthy businessmen who can't have sons in their families, but are overjoyed by people who claim to be extinct.

In the next few days, Beijing became more and more lively, from the noble courtiers to the common people were discussing this matter.

Juan Bi heard some news from outside, so she returned to the house in high spirits to report to Gu Yanfei: "Girl, do you know Zhen's Yinzhuang?"

Gu Yanfei, who was sitting in front of the book desk, slowly raised his head from the account book, a little dazed.

She has been detained at home by Gu Yunzhen for the past few days and asked her to read the account books for nearly a month after the separation.

When she looked at the series of numbers on the account book, she had a headache. It took her two days and she didn't even read half of it.

"Zhenshi Yinzhuang?" Gu Yanfei felt a little familiar, and raised his eyebrows, feeling that he had seen this name somewhere.

She turned over ten pages in front of the account book, and slender jade pointed to a certain position on the account book, "Is this Zhen's Silver House?"

Kuan Bi served Gu Yanfei a new cup of tea, leaned over to take a look, couldn't help but be amused, and said, "This is the place."

Since the separation of the Gu Mansion last month, the mansion is quite a bit of a waste and waiting to be revived. No people have been added, but a lot of things have been added. For example, I ordered some exquisite silver coins from this Zhenshi Yinzhuang. It is used as a reward for the servants, as a greeting or something.

"Not only this silver spear, but also your gold-inlaid jade-carved lark pattern bracelet is the jewelry of Zhen's Silver Village." Juan Bi said with a smile, "This Zhen's Silver Village is one of the premier silver houses in the capital. In the past year, we have opened a lot of semicolons in various states, and the business is booming."

"That Boss Zhen is now at the age of destiny, and he has only one daughter. This girl Zhen has the style of being a father and is good at doing business. She has helped Boss Zhen to do business together these years, and she is well organized."

"But because women can't inherit the family business, the Zhen clan has been forcing Boss Zhen to adopt a distant nephew. How could Boss Zhen be willing to hand over this huge family business to others and refuse to agree. He has been with the clan for so many years."

"The slaves asked in private that Boss Zhen lost his father when he was young and was raised by his widowed mother. At that time, someone in the clan bullied their orphans and widowed mothers and almost robbed the 2,000 taels of silver left by Mrs. Zhen, but it was still his uncle's house. Helped to get ahead, made a fuss, and then the clan gave up."

While speaking, Juan Bi curled her lips disdainfully and commented: "This Zhen clan is really shameless. He used to bully other people's orphans and widowed mothers, but now he has the shame to covet other people's family business. If I were boss Zhen, I wouldn't agree to adopt anything. Son and nephew, why is the family business that you have worked so hard to build so cheap for others!"

The second change has not been changed, so it will not be merged today. At 12 o'clock~
