Chapter 188
Zhongwei heard that Wu Cui'er was visiting Zhong Mansion...he guessed that her visit might be related to major events. Even if she was unwilling to do so, she could only go to the gate to wait. In this era, Han Zhongwei could look down on anyone, but he definitely respected Wu Cui'er.
The reason why Han Zhongwei returned to Lin'an was because of Wu Cui'er. Otherwise, why would Han Zhongwei go back to Lin'an to do things that he was unwilling to do?
"Wei'er, can you have a meal?" Wu Cui'er said with a smile as soon as she saw Han Zhongwei. She didn't expect her wife to be so kind. She not only remembered her marriage to her son, but also allowed herself to come to Zhong's mansion again. She would never remember her wife's great kindness.
"The child has eaten, Han Zhongwei feels warm. Perhaps only Wu Cuier in this world will ask her about her well-being. With this, she cannot let her suffer, at least she cannot let her suffer in the Han Mansion again.
This time, Han Zhongwei returned to Lin'an, and he had a plan to let Wu Cui'er go to Heicheng with him. Han Zhongwei believed that as long as Wu Cui'er arrived in Heicheng, she would definitely be able to enjoy the treatment of the empress dowager. Unfortunately, when Wu Cui'er saw her, she kept asking about her situation in other places. Moreover, Han Zhongwei had to be careful to avoid being an official in Xixia, so she had no chance to talk to her.
"You are now young and have to eat and sleep well, and don't be picky about food." Wu Cui'er said endlessly. Every mother always treats her son as a child, even if her child has grown up and is even a father.
"Yes, I respect my mother's teachings to Han Zhongwei for being a human being in both life. When I heard this, I was not bored. Instead, I felt more moved. My son wanted to support my parents but my parents in my previous life wanted to serve them, but I never had a chance again. Even if I wanted to listen to their nagging, it was impossible. Fortunately, I had Wu Cui'er in this life, so that Fu Zhongwei could get maternal love again.
"I have seen my aunt Han Zhongyi and followed Han Zhongwei to the gate, but as soon as Wu Cui'er entered the door, she kept talking to Han Zhongwei. It was difficult for him to make a sentence. It was finally easy for them to finish it, and then he took the opportunity to get some points. "The eldest son is here too? I didn't see him just now, so it was really rude that Wu Cui'er was devoted to Han Zhongwei, and even Fu Zhongyi turned a blind eye.
"I dare not. The prostitute has something to talk to his third brother. Then I will say goodbye first and touch his nose. What else can he say? Now he is becoming more and more convinced of Han Zhongwei. He also loves Wu Cui'er and is also in love with Wu, and will treat her like she used to be like a real elder.
"I wonder what my mother is here? After Han Zhongyi left, Han Zhongwei welcomed Wu Cui'er into the main hall and sat down.
"I can't come if I'm fine?" Wu Cui'er said with a blank look at Han Zhongwei.
"How dare you, the child welcomes his mother to come at any time. If the mother can live here for a long time, the child will be happier." Han Zhongwei asked tentatively.
"Mom is satisfied if she can come to you often." Wu Cui'er sighed. Since she married into the Han Mansion, she was from the Han family and died of the Han family. It would be impossible to move out unless "but that was impossible!
"Then every day my mother comes, Han Zhongwei smiled.
"Okay, as long as I have free time, I will definitely come to you." Wu Cui'er said happily. In fact, it is not a simple matter for her to leave the Han Mansion. Although the Han Mansion is not a family of the Guliang family, it is also a "Ding family" with many rules, otherwise the Han Duwei would not have been expelled from the family.
The so-called "Gaoliang Family" refers to a portal level divided by dynasties based on whether a family has been officials for three consecutive generations. Therefore, a high-ranking bureaucratic family cannot be called a family. The family is generally divided into six levels, namely "Gaoliang Huayu surname A, B, B, D", etc.
Only those who have three generations of family members can be called the past ridge. No family in the Song Dynasty can be called the past ridge. After all, it has only been more than a hundred years since the court moved to Lin'an, and there are very few three ministers in the court, let alone the three ministers in the three generations of people.
There is an order, the servants can call him the "Huayu" Shangshu, the leader and the guards are the "June surname." The nine ministers, such as Fang Bo, are the "Y surname." The sanqi Changshi, and the Taizhong Dafu is the "Bing surname." The official Lang of the Ministry of Personnel is the "Ding surname".
Now Han Zhongwei's old ancestor Han Zuo can be regarded as a famous official in the early dynasty. Although Han Jizhou is aware of secret affairs, he still has the position of a defensive envoy, so the Han Mansion can barely be called "Ding's surname.
In such a family, how could Wu Cui'er, who is a concubine, leave the mansion at will? If Wu Meiping hadn't been allowed to be accurate, she would probably have been out of the mansion several times a year.
"Wei'er, you are sixteen years old this year. You should consider your lifelong affairs. Wu Cui'er paused and finally explained her purpose.
"Mom, the child is only sixteen years old. Is it too early to get married now?" Han Zhongwei said anxiously. In fact, he knew that it was not too early to be sixteen years old. He often soared into the sky when he woke up in the morning, and Chun Meng had done it countless times. The reason why he was unwilling was that he could not accept the orders of his parents and the words of the media, and this feudal system.
"It's not too early, it's not too early at all. If you were in an ordinary family, you might have become your father, Wu Cui'er said with a smile.
"Mom, I brought some fur to you in Xixia. You can pick it up and see if there is any Han Zhongwei who likes it and thinks about it.
"Don't interrupt, my wife has taken a fancy to the party affairs for you. Let me tell you first, do you have a woman you like?" Wu Cui'er asked.
"The woman he likes?" Han Zhongwei shook his head. He even knew only a handful of women. Where did he like her like her?
"That's all, this matter is settled, and the ceremony of receiving the lottery is first." Wu Cui'er was overjoyed. As long as Han Zhongwei did not have the woman he liked, the marriage that the lady said would be accomplished.
"What? Mom, this is my lifelong event, you can't make the decision for me." Han Zhongwei was anxious. Could it be that if he didn't find a partner, his family would have to arrange one?
"Silly child, of course I have to take charge of your lifelong affairs for you. You can't say anything like this in the future, otherwise you will violate the family rules." Wu Cui'er advised that you can say this to her casually, but if you want to go back to the Fu Mansion, it will violate the family rules.
"Mom, I'm going to Xixia next month. Where will I get married?" Fu Zhongwei didn't expect that Wu Cui'er would not give in at all in this matter and would not give him any chance at all.
"No! You can't go anywhere before you get married." Wu Cui'er's face was stern and refused flatly. She could see that Han Zhongwei didn't want to get married at all.
"Isn't this a forceful thing?" Han Zhongwei looked bitter, but he didn't expect that Wu Cui'er was so determined for her lifelong affairs. You must know that she had never said a harsh word to herself before.
"I'm doing this for your own good. You get married sooner. I'll take my grandson one day earlier." Wu Cui'er advised earnestly, you should know that scholars and people cannot intermarry, but Han Zhongwei's conditions. It is impossible for him to marry a civilian wife, and how could those ladies in the boudoir fall in love with him?
"Then I have to know who the other party is?" Han Zhongwei's face still did not stretch. Even who the other party was, and his appearance and age were unknown, so he would go to "send his life". If he married a mentally retarded person, who would he ask for to reason with him?
"Don't worry, the other party is a lady from a noble family." When talking about his future daughter-in-law, Wu Cui'er smiled and narrowed her eyes. She never thought that her wife would tell her Wei'er such a good marriage. "Mom, what I asked about is her appearance, age, personality, preferences, and it doesn't matter whether she is a lady from a noble family." Han Zhongwei said that he had standards for choosing a spouse in his previous life, gentleness, virtuousness, beauty and charm. But in this life, except for the maids in the mansion, there was only Li Lingyun from Heifeng Village, but these people were excluded by him, and he didn't even think about it.
"I don't know this either. I just heard from my wife that I didn't see the real person." Wu Cui'er said, she didn't go out of the door. If Wu Meiping hadn't mentioned it, how could she know that there was such a woman?
"No! Mom. How many days does it take for me to think about this matter?" Han Zhongwei was shocked. He was sure that this must be Wu Meiping's trick. Unfortunately, Wu Cuier only cares about her lifelong affairs and does not consider anything else.
"Okay, I'll come to you here in three days to wait for your reply." Wu Cui'er originally wanted to make sure today, but she also knew that her child was very independent. If she forced him to do this, there would probably be many unreasonable twists and turns. Moreover, she was willing to wait for a few more people to take the opportunity to go out of the house.
"Mom, haven't you told me which woman the other party is?" Han Zhongwei saw Wu Cui'er leaving, and hurriedly asked. If he didn't know who the other party's surname was, he would still think about it.
"The Minister of Works, Zhao Yanyu, the daughter of Lord Zhao, is this identity worthy of shame?" Wu Cui'er said with a smile. She was very surprised when she heard it. The Minister of Works is an official with a higher position than her master. If she could become a relative of him, it would be a great blessing.
"Zhao Yanyu, Minister of Works?" Han Zhongwei had an impression of this name because his Dake wine is supplied to Zhao Yanyu's mansion every month, but he was not aware of his daughter.
"Yes, Lord Zhao is a senior official in the court. In the future, if you have such a father-in-law, your business in Lin'an will be much easier." Wu Cui'er smiled.
"What's his daughter's name?" Han Zhongwei never believed that pies would fall from the sky. Now it looked like pies, and Han Zhongwei became more and more worried. If there was such a good thing, why didn't Wu Meiping let Han Zhongyi and Han Zhongyong do it, why should she take advantage of herself?
Will she do such a cheaper thing? What others will think of, but Han Zhongwei is sure that she will never. Since that is the case, she cannot agree easily.
"Qi Yuting, just by listening to this name, you can tell that he is a beauty. Wei'er, you have a great fortune." Wu Cui'er kept saying good things about the other party like a matchmaker.
"Okay, mom, I'll wait for you in the mansion in three days, and I'll send you a letter at that time." Han Zhongwei didn't want to find a crooked melon and cracked date.
"Okay, Wei'er, you don't need to be afraid. Marriage and having children are still a joy in family life." Wu Cui'er thought that Han Zhongwei was so embarrassed because he was afraid. After all, he was only less than sixteen years old. At this age, he would probably not be able to adapt to the fact that he would suddenly get married and have children.
"Yes." Han Zhongwei replied. As long as he had a name, he would definitely be able to find out the details of this name named Zhao Yuting.
"Mother, why did you choose a bride for that slut?" Han Zhongyong came back to the itch today and heard that Han Zhongwei was going to get engaged. This made him furious. He had not even gotten into the marriage yet, so why was it Han Zhongwei's turn to be that slut. Chuan. You are off school. If you are in a hurry to get married, I will choose a gang for me. But Zhao Yuting, you must give it to Han Zhongwei." Wu Meiping was not angry. Just as Wu Cuier could tolerate Han Zhongwei's rebellious words, Wu Meiping also allowed Han Zhongyong to be rude in front of him, as long as he was not in front of an outsider, it would be fine.
"Mother, haven't you told him about it yet?" Han Zhongyong said anxiously. He only felt extremely humiliated now. If Han Zhongwei got married before him, where would he put his face?
"I did tell Han Zhongwei about the marriage, but this matter was approved by your father. Do you have to change your father's theory?" Wu Meiping was displeased. Why didn't her son always worry about her? Can fat water flow to outsiders' fields? You don't need to think about it.
"I don't dare to do this, but wasn't this what you said? If you don't agree, he can earn a kiss?" Han Zhongyong asked unwillingly.
"Do you know which woman I and Han Zhongwei are talking about?" Wu Meiping knew that her son's understanding was limited, so she had to tell her.
"I haven't heard of this. Isn't it a commoner in the city?" Han Zhongyong said.
"Zhao Yuting, daughter of Zhao Yanyu, Minister of Works, Zhao Yanyu!" Wu Meiping said slowly.
"So that's it. I'm wrong about my mother." Han Zhongyong heard that it was Zhao Yuting, so he hurriedly bowed to Wu Meiping and said with a smile.
Han Zhongyong immediately stepped down when he heard Zhao Yuting's name. It seemed that Zhao Yuting was not a good girl. But Han Zhongwei didn't know him. He did not have his own intelligence structure in Lin'an. It was not that Han Zhongwei didn't want to set up, but that he did not have the right personnel to take responsibility for him. The intelligence was extremely confidential and there was no subordinate he could absolutely trust. Han Zhongwei would rather not do it, otherwise if something happened, he would not even have a place to run away, and his family would be here. Especially Wu Cui'er, Han Zhongwei didn't want her to suffer any harm because of herself.
For example, Han Zhongwei knew that the engagement was not good, but he could not refuse. The main reason was that he could not refuse Wu Cui'er, otherwise with his personality, there was no possibility of further development.
"Guo Wei, the wine in the mansion of Zhao Yanyu, the Minister of Works, is it delivered to your home or picked up?" Han Zhongwei had to know Zhao Yanyu, so he could only start with wine. His Dake wine would enter his mansion every month.
"Except for the delivery of the goods by the palace, the other adults sent people to pick up the goods." Guo Wei said that the bottles of Dake wine are numbered. There are 2,200 bottles per month, not too much or too little. Although there are orders in each mansion, if people are not sent to pick up the goods in person, it is impossible to grab the goods. Therefore, all the adults in the city send their servants to pick them up in person, and Zhao Yanyu, as the Minister of Works, is no exception.
"Oh." Han Zhongwei pondered silently. It seemed that it was not easy to find someone who knew Zhao's family.
"What's the matter with the young master?" Guo Wei saw that Han Zhongwei didn't say anything, and knew that his responsibilities were coming. As a steward, wasn't it just to share the worries and solve problems for his master?
"Zhao Yanyu has a daughter named Zhao Yuting. Have you heard of it?" Han Zhongqi asked casually.
"Young Master knows Zhao Yuting?" Guo Wei's face suddenly became very strange, as if he knew Zhao Yuting very well.
"If you don't know her, why, do you know her?" Han Zhongwei asked.
"It is said that I cannot know the daughter of a wealthy family, let alone the daughter of the Minister of Works. But just because Zhao Yuting is famous, I really have heard of her." Qi Wei nodded and said.
"Oh, even you know her name?" Han Zhongwei asked strangely. You must know that Lin'an has as many as one million people. In ancient times, when information was underdeveloped, a girl's name had even heard of her own housekeeper, which shows how well she is.
"There are not many people who have never heard of Zhao Dajiao's name. The young master has not been in Lin'an for a year and has never heard of this." Guo Wei smiled.
"Zhao Dajiao?"
"Yes, Zhao Yuting heard that she is as beautiful as a flower and has outstanding talent, but the most famous one is her big feet. This was rumored half a year ago. All the top ten in the city know about this." Guo Wei said.
Anyone who shares the same 90 knows that she and her mother Wu Cuier are exactly the remaining 10%. Otherwise, with her very traditional concept, she would refuse this marriage even if she agrees to it.
"It's better to see it at first sight than to hear it. It seems that you have to go and see it in person." Han Zhongwei did not feel disgusted with women with big feet. On the contrary, he felt that women with small feet were like acquired disabled people. They could neither walk fast nor run, and could only take small steps, which looked very beautiful, but when they thought about the suffering they suffered, they could not find any beauty.
"It's hard for the young master to see Zhao Dajiao. I used to go to Shifo Temple to burn incense every month, but since others learned that she had not bound her feet, I have never heard of her step out of the mansion again. I heard that she was not originally a legitimate daughter, and now with Dajiao, I'm afraid even a maid in Zhao's mansion is not as good as a maid." Guo Wei sighed.
"She is not a legitimate child?" Han Zhongwei became more and more interested in Zhao Yuting. They can be said to be: they are both people who are in the world.
Han Zhongwei went to find out the location of the Minister of Works' Mansion during the day and first found out the terrain. By the evening, Han Zhongwei did not disturb the others, and changed into black clothes and prepared to explore Zhao Yanyou's mansion to see what Zhao Yuting looked like.
