Just when Wei Tongnian was about to say yes, there was a shout from the door, and a beautiful figure walked in, followed by a pretty girl wearing a maid's costume.
I saw a pretty girl walking in
She wears a bright yellow shirt
Brighter skin
Both eyes are like a clear lake
Beautiful appearance
True as a pearl
Mei Yuying
There is a faint air of book between his eyebrows.
Such a stunning beauty even stunned Yan Benge, who was already in his prime, let alone Yan Zheng, who was full of energy.
Wei Man Ting was seen walking slowly in front of Wei Tong Nian's seat, and gave a leisurely salute to Wei Tong Nian and Yan Benge. Ying Mou said softly: "Man Ting has met my father and met this old man!"
When Wei Tongnian saw his daughter suddenly barging in, he was naturally unhappy and just snorted softly. However, Yan Benge, who was sitting next to him, was different. Wei Manting stood in front of him like this, with jade bones and ice muscles, demure and dignified.
Her temperament just rushes towards her face, and people know at a glance that this girl is not only beautiful, but she must also be an intelligent and virtuous woman.
How could Yan Benge not be so happy that such a wonderful woman was lucky enough to be his granddaughter-in-law? He said with a beaming smile: "A good niece doesn't need to be polite. I, Yan Benge, are close friends with your father. This time I
It seems a bit rude to come here without permission, please don’t be offended by my dear niece."
Faced with Yan Benge's compliment, Wei Manting just smiled faintly, then turned to Yan Zheng, who was standing behind Yan Benge, and said generously: "This must be Mr. Yan who came to my house as a guest with Mr. Yan, right?"
Yan Zheng's heart was filled with excitement when he saw this quiet and elegant girl in front of him, who looked like Zigu of Xichuan. The arrogance he usually had in his heart had long since disappeared. At this moment, he was as dumbfounded as a young man in love.
He stood there for a while and then said: "It's none other than Yan Zheng. I don't dare bother Miss Wei to inquire."
"Ahem!" Seeing his grandson's lost look, Yan Benge had no choice but to cough as a reminder, and then laughed.
"Hahaha, Mr. Wei, I didn't expect you to give birth to a good daughter. Your daughter is beautiful, smart, gentle and gentle. She is really a rare girl."
Wei Tongnian was most proud of his daughter. Although he was scratched at this moment, he still said modestly: "What the hell, Mr. Yan is laughing. The little girl has a naughty nature and a disgraceful appearance. Let me, the father,
But it breaks my heart."
Yan Benge said with a smile: "Master Wei is too modest. If your concubine is also ugly, then there will be no more beauties in this world. But Master Wei, your concubine is already twenty-eight years old this year. I don't know what I'm suggesting to you."
How are you thinking about it?"
Seeing a beauty like Wei Man Ting, one of the best in a million, standing right in front of him, Yan Benge was even more determined to choose Wei Man Ting as his granddaughter-in-law. If he missed it, he would regret it for the rest of his life, so he didn't care whether it was rude or not.
, he brought it up as soon as he opened his mouth.
But before Wei Tongnian could answer, Wei Manting, who was standing next to Wei Tongnian, stood up and congratulated Yan Benge, saying: "Man Ting also heard what Mr. Yan just said. If Man Ting heard it right, then...
Mr. Yan wants to propose marriage to my father on Mr. Yan’s behalf, right?”
"This... this..." Yan Benge was stunned for a moment. Any girl these days wouldn't turn away in shame and run away when her parents talk about her life-long events. How can she be strong?
It's good to just stand and listen to the elders speak. Wei Man Ting is one of the only women who not only stood gracefully behind her father and listened as if nothing had happened, but also asked questions on the spot without any scruples.
Wei Man Ting's words continued: "Just now, Man Ting heard that Mr. Yan was going to propose marriage to my father. Man Ting was very honored, but there was something that Man Ting wanted to tell Mr. Yan. Man Ting already had a sweetheart, and they agreed to stay together for the rest of their lives.
, so I can only accept the good intentions of Mr. Yan and Mr. Yan."
"Bang..." Wei Tongnian couldn't help it anymore and started shouting, "You evil beast! What the hell are you saying? Are you really going to be angry with your father to death?"
Facing Wei Tongnian's anger, Wei Manying's eyes suddenly turned red, but she still shook her silver teeth and said: "Father, please calm down. My daughter has told her father about her daughter's concerns a long time ago, but why do you turn a deaf ear to your daughter's words? Today
If your daughter doesn't come back, will you marry her off?"
"You..." Wei Tongnian stood up and raised his hand to hit him.
However, Wei Man Ting closed her eyes and raised her pretty face, letting Wei Tong Nian beat her down. Yan Benge took a bad look at it. If Wei Tong Nian really let Wei Tong Nian beat Wei Man Ting in front of him, how could he have the nerve to continue proposing marriage? He quickly stepped forward to stop Wei Tong Nian.
Come down.
"Master Wei, Master Wei, please calm down, you are not willing to beat such a smart and intelligent daughter." Although Yan Benge was frightened by Wei Manyu's shocking words just now, he was used to dealing with merchants.
She also admired Wei Mantiao's elegant temperament and do-it-yourself style, so she didn't care much and began to plead for mercy.
Yan Zheng on the side also quickly stood up and said boldly: "Yes, Mr. Wei, Miss Wei is just confused for a moment, you must be merciful."
Seeing that the grandson of the Yan family wanted to plead for mercy, Wei Tongnian, who had never laid a finger on his daughter since she was a child, had no choice but to take this opportunity to go downhill, pointed at Wei Manting and shouted: "You still won't give me back to your father as a father?"
Go to the boudoir."
Wei Manting still stood proudly on the spot and wanted to say something, but Qiaoer, who had been frightened for a long time, took her hand hard and tried to drag her out.
Just when everyone was getting into trouble, a servant reported outside: "Reporting to your lord, Master Pangda has sent someone, and they are asking for an audience outside the mansion right now!"
"Big Man? Which Big Man?" Wei Tongnian, who was still feeling dizzy, asked blankly.
Although the servant was a little puzzled, he still replied: "Who else is Pang Pang? It is Dingyuan General Pang Pang!"
"What, is it him? He's back?"
As soon as the words "General Dingyuan" were heard, everyone in the hall was shocked. However, everyone's reactions were different. Some were angry, horrified, and some were happy. For a moment, the Qing Dynasty was miraculously silent.
Come down.
After a while, a crisp voice rang out: "Please come quickly!"
"Yes!" the servant responded, and the footsteps gradually left.
There was silence in the hall. After passing the Huiyan Pavilion, he asked: "Master Wei, I think General Dingyuan must have a good relationship with you. He sent someone to see you as soon as he came back."
Wei Tongnian's originally fair face turned purple at this moment. What a good boy, it's not enough to flirt with my daughter. Now he dares to send someone to trouble me. It's too bullying.
Because he was in a bad mood, he said impatiently after hearing Yan Benge's words: "Humph, it's just a casual acquaintance."
"Oh, that's it." After hearing Wei Tongnian's words, Yan Benge and his grandson were slightly relieved. Since everyone had their own concerns, everyone remained silent in the hall.
After a while, a burst of footsteps came from the front. Soon, a young officer wearing Baihu clothing with a dusty look on his face appeared in front of everyone. He knelt down on one knee and saluted Wei Tongnian.
He said loudly: "The humble Cheng Kai has met Mr. Wei and Miss Wei."
"Get up!"
"Please get up quickly!"
The voices of the Wei family's father and daughter rang out at the same time. They looked at each other and then looked away.
Wei Man Ting's slightly nervous voice rang out, "Cheng Baihu, was Pang Pang's success during the Korean War? Where is he now?"
Cheng Kai smiled and said: "Miss Wei, please don't worry. Pang Pang defeated the Tatars in North Korea so much that they abandoned their armor and fled. They have returned to North Korea and have just disembarked. Due to busy business, they sent some local specialties from North Korea to the country."
Miss Yu and Mr. Wei."
After Cheng Kai finished speaking, he took out a gift list from his arms and handed it to Wei Manying respectfully.
Cheng Kai was the captain of Pang Gang's soldiers and knew a little bit about the affairs between Pang Gang and Wei Man Ting. Therefore, his attitude towards Wei Man Ting was also very respectful and he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Wei Manting was about to take the gift list subconsciously, but suddenly realized that there were others beside her, so she took two steps back with embarrassment and looked at her father.
Wei Tongnian snorted coldly, glanced at the servant next to him, and then said: "Read it!" The servant took the gift list knowingly, glanced at it, and started to read it in frustration.
"Pang Gang, commander of the Qingzhou capital, would like to present: 50,000 taels of silver, 500 taels of gold, 500 jins of Korean ginseng, ten pairs of pearls, and a load of furs..."
The servant read out one item after another, but everyone was dumbfounded. The first thought of Yan Benge and his grandson was that this guy went to North Korea and made a fortune, and actually gave the prefect such a generous gift, including ginseng.
Furs were always delivered in baskets and baskets. But then the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. Even if he went to North Korea to make a fortune, he wouldn't be so aggressive in currying favor with Wei Tongnian, and even if he received such a generous gift, it would be a mistake.
Bribing the princes and nobles in the capital is enough, why should I bribe a small prefect?
Unlike Yan Benge's grandson, this gift list has a completely different taste in the ears of Wei Tongnian's father and daughter. To them, this is not an ordinary gift list. It is clearly a betrothal gift for marriage!
Wei Manting, whose face was flushed with embarrassment, saw the doubtful looks from Yan Benge and Yan Zheng. She wished there was a crack in the ground for her to crawl through, but she felt shy and sweet in her heart. This guy really did it, and he was worthy of it.
It was the person he liked that drove the Manchu and Qing Tatars out of Korea so quickly.
Finally, the young man Yan Zheng couldn't hold himself back and asked, "Master Wei, didn't you just say that you didn't have much to do with General Dingyuan? Why did you..."
