Chapter 328
At this time, Wen Tingzhou happened to come from outside. When he heard this, he couldn't help but scold, "How could he forget it so casually? This marriage was not something our family was rushing to ask for. Wei Shan himself wanted to betrothed to you. That day, not only our brothers heard this, but many soldiers in the army had heard and witnessed it. He had to admit it. Isn't it because of your contributions to the fourth rank this time that he could be promoted to the fourth rank? If he hadn't had his life, he would have lost his life and would still want to be this fourth rank official?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Yun frowned in disagreement and said, "It's just that the forced melon is not sweet. Marriage is a good match for two surnames. If the Wei family really doesn't want to do it, there is no need for us to force it."
Wen Tingzhou sighed lightly and comforted Wen Sui, "I don't seem to regret it when I look at Wei Shan. No matter what, this matter is related to his future. You don't have to worry about it." Wen Sui naturally understood what his cousin meant, so he nodded, said a few more words and went back to his yard.
After Wen Sui left, Mu Yun and Wen Tingzhou discussed: "No matter whether the marriage of the Wei family is successful or not, Sui Ge'er's marriage is undesirable. Nowadays, people in the world choose good son-in-law for their daughter. In addition to their character and ability, they naturally have to look at the family background of their son-in-law. It is natural that Sui Ge'er has not been married and follows us now, but in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that he does not even cover his body, which will inevitably make people underestimate him."
Wen Tingzhou knew his wife had an idea as soon as he heard this, so he smiled and said, "My wife has any plans to say it directly. Why are you so tedious?"
Mu Yun chuckled: "You have always regarded Brother Sui as your younger brother. I'm afraid you'll think too much, so I slowly told you. That day, I heard Mrs. Ouyang say that an old Hanlin on the back street of her house was going to retire and return home, and the house was going to take out. Mrs. Ouyang originally planned to buy it, but she went to see it and said it was a little smaller, with only two inches and only ten houses. I heard that there was such a yard, which was not expensive, so I found someone to buy it. Such a small yard is for the newlyweds.
It is a matter of the argument that the couple lived there. In the past two years, Brother Sui has saved tens of thousands of taels of silver and kept it here. A few days ago, I bought a farm worth about one thousand acres in the western suburbs. There was a small farm worth about six hundred acres next to it, so I bought it. The big one was kept for the little pumpkin as a dowry, and the small one was for Sui Geer. With this house and land, Brother Sui also has his own industry. No one can underestimate him."
Wen Tingzhou held her hand after hearing Mu Yun's words: "Everyone says that marrying me is your blessing, but I don't know that the person who is truly blessed is me. I really burned the incense for eight lifetimes to marry you, a smart, beautiful, generous and generous wife."
Mu Yun was a little embarrassed by his praise: "Okay, don't put a high hat on me, it's all an old couple, so don't say these nice things. When Brother Sui came to our house, he was just a half-baby, and I grew up watching him. Besides, he has been with you for all these years and has done his best no matter what he does. We can't treat him badly. You will give him the house deed and the land deed tomorrow and calm his heart first."
Not only Mu Yun was concerned about Wen Sui's marriage, but the two of them were also muttering about this matter on the Wei family. Long had been dissatisfied with her husband's opinion for a while and directly gave his daughter to the poor boy Wen Sui. At this moment, he was angrily muttering to her husband: "I don't know what you were wrong at the beginning, but he actually gave our daughter so hasty. Now, he is using your words as an imperial envoy and comes to me every few days to talk about this matter. I don't know how to refuse."
Wei Shan said impatiently: "Why should I refuse? A man is a real man, and I say everything, so I will settle it like this. Wen Sui is now a sixth-rank captain, so what's wrong with it? He is better than the boy you were looking forward to before. His father is a fifth-rank official, but he is still a white man?"
Long retorted: "What's wrong with white body? His father is a doctor in the Imperial College, and his disciples are all powerful sons. If Sister Zhen really can marry into his family, are you worried that our elder brother will not have a good future in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Shan couldn't help but sneer: "You're very good at planning, but they don't even care about the conversation."
Long was choked by her husband and then said, "Don't they think you are a vulgar soldier? Wait, when our elder brother passes the exam for the scholar and juren, our Zhenjie's future is in the future! I don't agree with you marrying her to Wen Sui. What's that boy? He is just a distant relative of the Wen family, with no wealth. Now he has to rely on General Wen to barely have such a sixth-rank official. If he doesn't fight in the future, there is no military merit to make him a fortune? Will it be like this for our Zhenjie follow him? Even if he saves your life, at worst, we can give him more money as a thank-you gift. We can't afford our baby daughter. Even if he has General Wen as a backer? So what if he can't repay us with kindness!"
Wei Shan felt more and more annoyed when his wife said it, and said angrily: "Okay, let's talk about this later!" But he was also a little shaken by his wife's words. His original intention was just to make a joke, but unexpectedly, that boy Wen Sui agreed in one go! Could it be that he had made such a plan early in the morning to save himself?
People's hearts are like this, and they are often greedy. At this time, Wei Shan obviously had forgotten that he had repeated this matter repeatedly. Wen Sui saw that he was sincere and nodded to respond. Now it was Wen Sui who did it on his mind. He didn't think about it. The situation on the battlefield is often changing rapidly. At the moment of life and death, how could Wen Sui have so much time to think about too many other things? His daughter is not a fairy beauty!
Early the next morning, Wen Sui was so excited when he saw the house deed and land deeds handed over by Wen Tingzhou, but he still declined: "These are too expensive, I can't take them. If I take them, I will become something!"
Wen Tingzhou was too lazy to talk nonsense. Although his literary temperament has remained unchanged in his bones for so many years, his style of conduct has become much cleaner and neat, not as literati as a literati. He stuffed the paper into his arms and said, "If you give it to you, just take it, what's the matter! It's not for you for nothing, just treat it as a purchase using the money your sister-in-law saved for you."
After saying that, Wen Tingzhou joked: "Your sister-in-law said that you have these things, no matter who your girl is married, you will have confidence in your heart and don't think there is anything that is not worthy of others."
Wen Sui was even more moved when he heard this. It was not unaware that the land prices in Beijing were rising year by year. A farm like this would have a minimum of 20 taels per mu. The land deed of the six hundred acres alone would cost more than 10,000 taels of silver. In addition, the house would cost at least two or three thousand taels. The money he gave to his sister-in-law was not enough to buy so much, so it must be his brother and sister-in-law who subsidized him. When he thought of this, he was moved so much that he suddenly turned red.
Seeing that he had red eyes suddenly, Wen Tingzhou couldn't help but pat his shoulder and said, "Okay, it's said that men don't cry easily. Hold your tears back quickly. Don't be slutty here, just like a sissy. In the future, just marry a wife and you will live a good life. In this way, your sister-in-law and I will be satisfied. Okay, go to the yamen to take the time."
But Wen Sui was younger and had such industries at first, so he was naturally overjoyed after being excited. After arriving at the yamen, those who were familiar with him were happy to see him, and thought his marriage had been decided, so he couldn't help but quip it. Wen Sui hurriedly stopped and said, "Okay, Miss Wei and I haven't even talked about each other's horoscope. Don't talk nonsense, it won't ruin the reputation of other girls."
The man said disapprovingly: "Can General Wei repent the marriage in front of so many of us?" But when he saw Wen Sui's face was so serious, he couldn't help but say helplessly: "Okay, I know that you have many rules in your wealthy family, so we won't talk about this anymore. Oh~ It's not right. Since the marriage is not decided, why are you so happy? You picked up silver on the way?"
Wen Sui felt that there was nothing he could not say to the public about his permanent property, so he smiled and said, "It's happier than picking up silver!" As he said that, he told the story of the house and the Zhuangzi. The man who spoke to him was not a person who could hide his affairs, and everyone knew about it when he turned around and shouted.
Even if you reach the fourth rank, you are not a particularly rare fat, and you will only earn 2,000 taels a year. Excluding household expenses and human relationships, you often don’t have much left. Therefore, there are many families like those of the fourth and fifth ranks of Beijing officials who have three generations in a house with three generations. People like Wen Sui who have their own house at a young age are really amazing. In the past, although everyone knew that Wen Tingzhou always valued his clan brother, he didn’t expect that he would be so generous. He would be in a house and a farmer at one move, which is brighter than giving money directly.
Many generals with daughters in the yamen immediately regretted it: Why didn’t I notice Wen Sui, a potential stock earlier? It was interrupted by Wei Shan for nothing!
