Chapter 43 Madam Prefect
"Ma'am, I really have something to ask."

The master is still waiting, the mother-in-law is afraid that the delay will make the master angry, so she kindly invites her: "I beg your master to come with this old servant."

The young man closed his eyes and gently blew on the powdered tea, but nothing happened.

Seeing that she didn't move at all, the old lady became anxious: "It's because of your wife!"

When Wei Ziqian heard this, he paused the hand holding the lamp, he didn't expect that something happened to Xia Sichan: "What happened?"

"The old slave doesn't know either. He left in a hurry and didn't listen carefully. He just saw her arguing with a few young girls."

This woman can't be said to have lied to him, she just passed by the garden, and indeed she saw her young lady leading several girls to embarrass Young Master Wei in front of her.

Seeing that it was Xia Sichan's business, Wei Ziqian didn't expect that the woman would boldly lie to him, so he put down his things and got up.

The mother-in-law was overjoyed immediately, and she was invited to move.

The two walked quickly, and they entered the inner courtyard within a cup of tea.

There are indeed no rules in this merchant's other courtyard.Along the way, people came and went on the road, and they acted out of order.But it also made him feel a little bit relieved, and he was not afraid of encountering disgusting things when someone was around.

The woman led him along the bluestone path, through the wisteria frame, around the pine wall, through a hallway, and came to a pavilion.

······
The breeze blows the leaves, the dew drops on the flowers, and the water is clear.

The back porch is adjacent to the water pool, passing through the luxuriant flowers, there is a spacious water pavilion, under the water pavilion is a wide stone platform, water lilies crawling under the feet, the water is sparkling, carrying a faint fragrance.

Standing on the arched bridge outside the pavilion, Wei Ziqian saw that there was no figure of Xia Sichan inside, only a richly dressed middle-aged woman was sitting in the pavilion facing him, drinking slowly, waiting for him leisurely.

When Wei Ziqian saw it, his face immediately sank, how dare this old woman lie to him!
As soon as Wei Ziqian stepped onto the arch bridge, Mrs. Wang, the magistrate's wife, saw him.

No wonder my daughter likes the tall and handsome young man, clear and handsome, with an indescribable nobility in his bones.

Wang nodded secretly in her heart, smiled kindly, and looked Wei Ziqian up and down, becoming more and more satisfied and liking the more she looked.He recognized this son-in-law as her son-in-law.

Thinking that this person would be her son-in-law in the future, Wang smiled and waved to Wei Ziqian, signaling him to come in and sit down.

After all, Wei Ziqian is a child educated by an aristocratic family, he abides by the etiquette, coupled with his high position and authority, he is originally a cold personality.

He looked around, except for a few women, there was no one else.So he stood on the arch bridge without saying a word, the impatience on his face was very obvious.

"Young Master Wei."

Wang Shi noticed that his expression was wrong, and was taken aback for a moment.

Unexpectedly, the attitude of the young master of this merchant's family is so arrogant and high-spirited.

Even if he is a son of an official family, there is one thing to say, but it's just that the son of a merchant family has developed such a ignorant attitude, but it is annoying.

However, he couldn't hold back his good life.

In addition, she completely regarded him as her son-in-law, so she took it for granted and explained: "My wife has something to discuss with you, so I invited you here so hastily, if there is something abrupt, please forgive me."

Oh, you also know abruptness?

Wei Ziqian also remembered that he was a merchant, suppressed his anger, and nodded lightly upon hearing the words.

"Young Master Wei, I can't explain this matter clearly in one or two sentences. I hope you sit down and talk about it."

If this is normal, then who are you?He had already dismissed it and walked away.

Wei Ziqian held his temper and didn't respond. He just walked to the bottom of the arch bridge and stopped a little closer to her, still standing outside the gazebo: "Madam has something to say, but it's okay to say it." The voice was always cold and cool.

Seeing that his mood eased, Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "I don't know what the young master thinks of my Jiang family?"

Tsk, this question is abrupt, but when you think about the behavior of their mother and daughter, it is not abrupt.

Wei Ziqian's eyes flashed, and he asked puzzledly, "What does Mrs. Jiang mean?"

Mrs. Wang looked at Wei Ziqian in front of her, and already regarded him as her son-in-law, with a lofty attitude: "Madam, please open up with the young master. Although the young master is from a merchant family, he was born with a handsome appearance, delicate and elegant. The madam reluctantly wants to marry him." My daughter is betrothed to you. I don't know what Mr. Wei wants?"

"There is already a beautiful wife in Wei's family." Wei Ziqian had already guessed that this was the case, but he did not expect that the magistrate's wife would be so direct, suppressing her disgust, her dark eyes were low and deep, and she expressed her feelings lightly: "Madam must have seen her before." My wife, my wife is dignified and graceful, and won Wei's heart."

When Wang heard this, she was not annoyed.

She remembered that when she saw the little lady of the Wei family just now, she was also terribly amazed.

Unexpectedly, the merchant's wife not only has a good appearance, but also shows the background of her upbringing from a wealthy family in her behavior.

She sat up straight, but the smile on her face faded away, and her face was full of sternness: "Mr. Wei's family is rich, but it is no more than a family of merchants. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are the cheapest. If you abandon the one in the house If you marry again, the family should be more noble."

Wang was sure that Wei Ziqian would follow her advice, because no matter who he changed, it would be a great honor to marry a young lady from the magistrate's family.

In the eyes of others, the gate will be three feet taller!

Wang Lin, who was not far behind, was terrified when he heard it, and the sweat on his forehead would be frightened by this ignorant lady.

Could it be that Mrs. Jiang thinks that the man in his family has a high official position?He even cared about talking nonsense in front of the master!
"Oh?" Wei Ziqian raised the corners of his mouth, with a mocking expression on his face, and his words were astonishing and indifferent: "Heh, Mrs. Jiang is only the head of a state, and Mrs. Jiang's words like this are a bit too much."

Mrs. Wang didn't expect that this young master's tone was so loud that he looked down on his master's position as the governor of a state?
He was unhappy in his heart, but for the sake of his daughter and his own face, he said with confidence: "Yes, he is indeed the head of the state capital now. However, maybe it won't be long before my master will be promoted."

Hmph, by then her master will be a Beijing official!

Aren't the children of the aristocratic family let her choose?

If it wasn't for his daughter making a fuss and wanting to marry him, how could he be presumptuous here?

Wei Ziqian's eyes flashed, and the color of his eyes gradually darkened.

Tsk, Jiang Qingyuan has served in Chuanzhou for nearly five years, and his achievements are not impressive.What's more, before leaving Beijing, he had read his past files in the Ministry of Officials, and when he came to Chuanzhou, he taught people to inquire about the reputation of the people along the way.With such mediocre grades, if he can be promoted, it is impossible for there to be no one behind him.

It seems that Jiang Zhifu is inseparable from the matter of private salt in Sichuan Province.

Thinking of this, Wei Ziqian smiled lightly: "Oh? That's really congratulations."

When Wang heard this, she smiled proudly: "Young Master Wei, go back and think carefully, and just send her a letter of divorce. If it doesn't work, it's okay to send her to the nunnery. My daughter Yuqian doesn't care about your second marriage, you And don't worry."

 Mrs. Zhifu: Heh, if you weren't so handsome, how could you be my son-in-law?

  Wei Ziqian:······
  Wang Lin:...
