Chapter 1231: Meet You Again When Flowers Fall (31)
Mrs. Wei not only wanted Wei Yanshan to marry Du Ruoheng, but also wanted her son to marry her so that he could return to the Wei family.
Looking at the shining eyes of her master, Nanny Yu could guess what Madam Wei was thinking.
Turning around, she saw the maid still standing there. Nanny Yu waved at her, meaning to let her go out first.
"Madam Yu, I'm talking to you!" Mrs. Wei noticed that Madam Yu didn't respond to her words, and her face relaxed again. "What do you think about this betrothal gift? How should we deal with it?"
Aunt Yu: Whatever the matter is, it’s just that I don’t want to spend too much money, so I have to find someone to talk to.
Even though the list of betrothal gifts was so long back then, in fact, ten years have passed and no one knows how many of those items are still there.
The Wei family was actually in a decent financial situation and could afford to buy some more things, but her master was reluctant to spend a lot of money to hire an "old woman" - even though she was already a county lady.
Seeing that Yu Ma Ma hadn't responded yet, Madam Wei's anger rose again. Just as she was about to curse, she heard Yu Ma Ma say, "Madam, I think you should first consult with the Du family about this marriage.
Otherwise, if I show up so rashly and get humiliated, wouldn't that be embarrassing? This isn't ten years ago."
"You have a point." Madam Wei nodded. "Then take my visiting card and send it to a few prominent families in Huanzhou. Invite them to a flower viewing banquet. This will be a good opportunity for me to test their opinions."
"Yes!" Nanny Yu responded and went out.
She went to her servants' yard, called Lancao, the maid she had just rescued, and then left.
After they left Wei Mansion for two streets, Lancao dared to shout: "Aunt, thank you for saving me just now, otherwise..."
"A maid dragged from the Madam's room must be beaten with at least ten sticks. If your small body were to be punished like this, you might end up disabled!" Nanny Yu explained her intentions. "If it were just a few slaps, I wouldn't stop you.
After all, you are my sister's child, I can't watch your life ruined like this!"
Afterwards, Yu Mama took Lancao to a small teahouse with few people and stayed there for a while. When the sun was setting, she brought people back to the Wei family and specifically reminded them: "If anyone asks,
You just said you followed me to a few houses in the afternoon, but you don't know anything else, not even whose houses we were visiting."
Lancao nodded.
As soon as Nanny Yu entered Madam Wei's courtyard, she heard Nanny Zhou say, "Oh! My dear sister, where have you been? Why have you been away for so long? Madam is about to send someone to look for you."
"I went to do some errands for Madam. I came back late because I was trying to find out something. Please move aside. I have something important to tell Madam." Nanny Yu rushed in anxiously.
As soon as she saw Madam Wei, Nanny Yu knelt down with a plop: "Madam, I have something important to report."
Originally, she was quite unhappy because Nanny Yu came back so late, but now seeing that she looked anxious and didn't seem to be pretending, she swallowed her anger and ordered, "Tell me, what's the important matter?"
"Madam, I went to inquire about the news today." Yu Ma Ma pretended to be mysterious. "Du Ruoheng's marriage requires her father's consent, but Master Du will leave Huanzhou in three days and go to another place to bring her back."
"Tsk, what's the big deal!" Nanny Zhou fanned the flames. "We've been waiting for all these years, and it's just a few days away. It's Du Ruoheng who's anxious, not our young master."
Nanny Yu ignored her completely and continued, "Master Du, I've already found out where you're going. It's Yongzhou, where the young master is now."
"What? Du Ruoheng is in Yongzhou now!" Madam Wei exclaimed, "Could it be that she is really obsessed with my son Yanshan?"
Nanny Yu didn't respond at this time, and Nanny Zhou said flatteringly: "Who knows! If this marriage can be completed, it can be considered that lovers finally get married!"
After hearing this, Nanny Yu just felt funny in her heart. Ten years ago, Miss Du refused to give in even a little bit. Now that she is already a county lady, she still wants their young master, the "old" widower!
Although Madam Wei was sometimes confused, she knew who had the better brains. She didn't respond to Nanny Zhou's question and turned to ask Nanny Yu, "Nanny Yu, what do you think we should do now?"
Finally, the question came up. Suppressing the turmoil in her heart, Yu Ma said respectfully, "I think Madam can also go to Yongzhou. There are too many people watching the Du and Wei families in Huanzhou, but Yongzhou is different.
Anyway, even if this marriage can be completed, Master Yanshan's official position is also in Yongzhou. It would be better to avoid all these disturbances and go directly to Yongzhou to discuss these matters with Master Du and Miss Du."
Seeing Madam Wei's expression, Nanny Yu knew she was moved, so she added fuel to the fire: "Madam, you haven't seen the young master for many years, and young master Wei Yang, he should be able to call me grandmother by now!"
