Besides, the Duke of Wei was getting older and had many children.
Except for his eldest son, Wei Degui, who inherited the dukedom, most of them were doing well.
There was just a son of a third wife who was born from a concubine.
Not only did he not get along well and not seek advancement, but he was his own son and he couldn't ignore it, so he used connections to arrange for him to be the head of the household department.
Although it was a fifth-grade idle official position, the position in the Ministry of Revenue was inherently lucrative.
In addition, he was the son of Wei Guogong.
Even though he was a commoner, he was still higher than the average person, so it was not too embarrassing.
And this Third Master Wei also has fewer children than his other brothers and sisters.
Now that he is in his forties, he only has one daughter and one son.
Moreover, the daughter is still a concubine, born from a concubine.
Fortunately, the son who is only ten years old is a legitimate child, so he can barely get by.
The name of this concubine's daughter was Wei Xiuxian.
Mrs.
Zhou Liu accidentally went to the temple and got acquainted with Wei Xiuxian and her aunt, who was the concubine of Mr.
Wei.
Although Mrs.
Zhou Liu looked down on Wei Xiuxian from the bottom of her heart.
Aunt, but she is extremely enthusiastic towards Wei Xiuxian.
Later, after Wei Xiuxian inquired about the situation in the Zhou Mansion, she found out that it was very good.
At least it was much better than her, who was called the granddaughter of Wei Guogong.
She was also at the age where she should marry, but she was a miserable person who had no power to care for her father. , it would be difficult for her not to work hard herself Did she still count on her aunt who disliked her for everything?
Besides, she later held a banquet for her uncle Wei Degui's aunt, and got acquainted with Zhu Zhiyuan.
Zhu Zhiyuan also talked about the Zhou Mansion, and of course the one she talked about the most was Zhou Zhiyuan.
Zhou Xu'an, the eldest young master of the mansion.
It was not difficult to see her admiration for Zhou Xu'an in her conversation, and she looked like she could marry into the Zhou family and become the eldest young lady.
She knew that she had heard not long ago that Master Zhou was actually engaged to a girl from a small family.
She had not seen Zhu Zhiyuan since that day, but she knew that Zhu Zhiyuan must be very disappointed.
But this doesn't have much to do with her, after all, their relationship isn't that deep.
Unexpectedly, within a few days, Zhou Mansion came over to propose marriage.
It was Zhou Jin'an, the fifth young master of the Zhou family, who came to propose marriage to her, and he was one year younger than her.
Although he has done nothing, I heard that Zhou Jinan is extremely handsome and is studying at the prestigious Mingran Academy.
He will definitely be promising in the future.
So she fully expected that her father and aunt would agree.
Sure enough, her father agreed immediately, but her aunt was a little reluctant, wishing that she would marry into a bad family.
So soon the two families got engaged.
After exchanging posts after combining the horoscopes.
The Zhou family sent a betrothal gift.
Not to mention those seafood fruit and dragon and phoenix sticker boxes, there were six gold bricks in the gift, a box of silver ingots, a total of twenty pieces of various cloths and colorful satin, and other jewelry, corollas, gold strands, etc.
Carrying two loads Although the Duke of Wei was a wealthy family, the King Wu of the Earth was still shocked by this generous betrothal gift.
This made Master Wei, who had always been unable to hold his head high in front of his brothers and sisters, furious.
Mr.
Wei's wife, on the other hand, had to force a smile even though she was so annoyed, which made Wei Xiuxian feel proud in her heart.
This must be a date of choice, and the good day was chosen on the eighth day of March in the Gregorian calendar.
There was only about a month left, so Mr.
Wei began to prepare a dowry for his daughter.

Given that this was a very honorable betrothal gift for him.
So the dowry, which was originally intended to be done casually, became richer.
Just after Wei Xiuxian received the invitation from Zhou Mengya, the third lady of the Zhou family, she hurriedly went to the street to buy two sets of beautiful dresses for the lantern viewing garden party tomorrow.
One is to go to Zhou Mansion to have a closer look, and the other is to get acquainted with the sisters in advance to help build a good relationship.
So Wei Xiuxian took her maids Bai Xue and Bai Shuang to Gui Yunxiang, the most distinguished clothing store in the capital.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Gui Yunxiang, he met Zhu Zhiyuan.
She didn't expect to meet Zhu Zhiyuan here, and she immediately stood in front of the door not knowing whether to return it or improve it.
She was already engaged to Zhou Jin'an, and she was going to get married.
Zhu Zhiyuan had always been so confident that she could marry into the Zhou family, but now she was slapped in the face.
Don't say you met her.
Even meeting other people should be equally embarrassing.
Wei Xiuxian originally wanted to ignore her even if they met, so she just wanted to say hello and leave, but Zhu Zhiyuan beat her to it before she could say anything.
"Sister Xiuxian, why didn't you say hello to your sister when you saw her?
Didn't you forget your sister if you haven't seen her for a few days?"
Zhu Zhiyuan said with a cold face.
"No way.
Didn't I just see my sister?
I was just ready to speak."
Wei Xiuxian said with a smile.
"Well, you're here to customize a dress."
Zhu Zhiyuan's expression softened slightly.
"No, I'm going to attend Zhou Mansion's lantern viewing garden party tomorrow, uh" Wei Xiuxian stopped talking in the middle of her sentence and almost forgot.
When Zhu Zhiyuan heard that she was going to the Zhou Mansion to attend the garden party, her face immediately became very ugly.
It turns out that Zhu Zhiyuan was not invited this time, and Master Zhou's fiancée would definitely be there at the Zhou Mansion banquet.
What might happen if Zhu Zhiyuan was also invited.
Seeing that Zhu Zhiyuan didn't say anything, Wei Xiuxian was about to leave but was stopped by Zhu Zhiyuan.
At this moment, Zhu Zhiyuan had put on a smile, and held Wei Xiuxian's arm very intimately, saying that she would choose clothes for her together.
Wei Xiuxian couldn't refuse and had to go with him.
Unexpectedly, when the two of them went to the VIP room on the second floor to look at the clothes, Zhu Zhiyuan was not only not very interested in the clothes, but actually told Wei Xiuxian some things about Zhou's mansion intentionally or unintentionally, and then quietly told her something matter.
That incident really made her furious, and she wanted to ignore it, thinking that maybe it was just Zhu Zhiyuan's deliberate arrangement, but she still couldn't help but wonder whether it was true or false.
In the end, she decided to suppress her thoughts and wait until she went to Zhou Mansion tomorrow to have a chance to inquire and see what the truth was.
So the next day she dressed up carefully, and after making sure she looked very radiant, she took the two maids and took a carriage to the Zhou Mansion.
After arriving at the Zhou Mansion, she first saw Zhou Mengya chatting with a girl.
She knew Zhou Mengya and had seen her many times at some banquets she had attended before.
But the girl in green clothes sitting next to her was so pretty and charming.
She must be the Chun Yu that Zhu Zhiyuan was talking about, and she couldn't help but beat her heart.
Her mind was spinning in just a moment, so she took a few steps forward and walked up to Zhou Mengya.
She said hello to Zhou Mengya with a smile, and then pretended not to understand and asked Chunyu: "I don't know who this beautiful sister is, but she is born like a fairy.
My sister is fascinated by her." fff5601211 Read the latest and most complete novels:
