Chapter 78 Persuasion
Wei Yan returned home confidently, feeling that his father and mother would definitely agree to his request.

Unexpectedly, when he said he wanted to marry Ye Xiaomei, his mother immediately refused.

Wei Yan looked at his mother unwillingly, "Why not? Don't you want me to get married quickly? Now that I am willing to get married, why don't you agree?"

Mrs. Wei glanced at Wei Yan lightly and said, "I want you to get married as soon as possible, but I don't want you to find any woman to get married. A peasant girl is worthy of entering the door of my Wei family. Marry a daughter-in-law like you." How can I hold my head high in front of others in the future?"

Wei Yan argued: "Mom, what's wrong with the peasant girl? Miss Ye is gentle and kind, and she has a brother like Brother Ye. I am more than enough for your son."

Mrs. Wei glanced at Wei Yan and said indifferently: "No matter how knowledgeable Ye Ximing is, he is just a scholar now."

"mother……"

Wei Yan wanted to say something else, but Mrs. Wei interrupted him impatiently, "Okay, you don't have to say any more. I won't agree to this. Your father and I will make the decision for you about your marriage. You now What you have to do is study hard with your uncle and pass the exam as soon as possible."

Wei Yan stared, ready to threaten his mother, saying: If you don't agree with me marrying my younger sister, I will stop studying.

But after thinking about it, he stopped talking. If he argued with his mother like this, even if he finally forced his mother to agree to marry Ye Xiaomei, his mother would not be happy with Ye Xiaomei after she married her.

He had to find another way to make his mother willingly agree to marry Ye Xiaomei.

Rolling his eyes, Wei Yan made a compromise look on his face, "Okay, if mom doesn't want to, forget it. I'll go back to my uncle's house to continue studying."

Seeing that her son was so obedient, Mrs. Wei nodded happily, "Okay, go ahead. Remember to ask your uncle to take you to hang out in front of Mr. Zou more often, and also let Mr. Zou give you more guidance."

"Yes." Wei Yan obediently agreed and went to Dean Meng's home.

As soon as Wei Yan saw Dean Meng, he knelt down and said, "Uncle, I have something to ask of you. You must help me with this matter."

Dean Meng looked at his nephew, frowned, and said, "What trouble did you get into again?"

Wei Yan smiled and said, "Uncle, where did you think you were? It's been a long time since I've been in trouble. I'm looking for you this time because I have something serious to do with my life's happiness."

"What exactly is going on?" Dean Meng asked.

"Um..." Wei Yan glanced at Dean Meng and said, "I fell in love with a girl, but my mother felt that she was not good enough for me and did not agree with me marrying her. Uncle, can you help me go to my mother?" Talk about interceding."

Dean Meng asked curiously: "Whose girl do you like?"

"Brother Ye's sister." Wei Yan said: "Uncle, Miss Ye is really nice. Although the Ye family is just a farmer now, you know Brother Ye's knowledge. Sooner or later, he will soar to the sky. It's a great thing that I can marry his sister, but my mother still thinks she's not good enough for me."

Dean Meng nodded after listening to Wei Yan's words and said: "You are right. Your mother is indeed a little short-sighted. If you can marry Ye Ximing's sister, this is indeed a good thing. I will tell your mother later. ."

Wei Yan said happily: "Thank you, uncle. I know you are the best to me, but uncle, you have to hurry up. The Ye family is looking after Miss Ye."

His mother has always been more obedient to his uncle's words. With his uncle taking the initiative, this matter will definitely be accomplished. Dean Meng waved his hand: "I'll go to your mother tomorrow and say, okay? Go read a book quickly and don't be an eyesore to me."

Dean Meng kept his promise and went to the Wei family to meet Mrs. Wei the next day.

When Mrs. Wei heard what Dean Meng said, she said angrily: "Brother, did that boy Wei Yan ask you to come here? Do you have to have a certain degree of love for that boy? Do you know who he wants to marry? A peasant girl! If I really agree, won’t the other ladies in Nanxing County laugh at me to death?”

Dean Meng listened quietly to Mrs. Wei's words, and then said calmly: "Do you only care about your own face and not about your son's future?"

"Brother, what are you talking about? Could it be that marrying that peasant girl can help him have a good future? It's just a peasant girl, how can she help him?"

"If Yan'er wanted to marry an ordinary peasant girl, I would definitely not agree, but what he wants to marry is Ye Ximing's sister. Ye Ximing is already knowledgeable, and now there is Lao Zou as a teacher. The future future is immeasurable. If Yan'er wants to marry, If your son can become his brother-in-law, will he not help Yan'er?"

Mrs. Wei frowned: "What if Ye Ximing does nothing in the future?"

Dean Meng shook his head and said: "There is no chance. You still don't believe my eyes. Ye Ximing is definitely not a thing in the pool."

Seeing that Mrs. Wei was still frowning and saying nothing, Dean Meng continued: "Taking a step back, even if Ye Ximing does nothing in the future, Yan'er will marry the person he wants to marry. This is no better than marrying someone he doesn't like in the future. Is it better for people to become a pair of resentful couples? Moreover, Yan'er is already eighteen this year, and the marriage can no longer be postponed. If you don't agree with him marrying a girl from the Ye family, who do you want him to marry? "

"That day I met Mrs. Pu at Mrs. Wu's flower viewing party. She told me about her girl..."

Before Mrs. Wei could finish her words, Dean Meng scolded her, "Nonsense! How dare you marry someone like the Pu family?"

Mrs. Wei argued in a low voice: "Isn't their family very good and prosperous? Not only did his youngest son pass the Jinshi examination, he also passed the imperial examination and stayed in the Hanlin Academy as a scholar. What kind of future would he have? That’s the light you can see.”

Dean Meng shook his head, "Pu Xiuwen is good, but the Pu family's business is not a long-term way. If we can avoid being tainted with such a family, it is best not to be tainted. And I remember that the Pu family has no legitimate daughter. Do you want Yan to do it?" Will my son marry a concubine?"

This is where Mrs. Wei hesitates, otherwise she would have decided on the marriage long ago.

Dean Meng looked at Mrs. Wei and persuaded with a soft tone: "Yun Niang, when have I seen the wrong person in these years? If you really want Yan'er's good, you should listen to me and marry Miss Ye's family for him. .”

"Brother, let me think about it." Mrs. Wei hesitated.

Dean Meng nodded and said: "Okay, you can think about it, but I heard that the Ye family is looking for someone for Miss Ye. Just don't wait until you consider a good person but you have already been engaged."

Mrs. Wei muttered: "She's just a peasant girl, not a hottie. Once we get engaged, we'll get engaged."

Dean Meng shook his head and said nothing more.

After Dean Meng left, Mrs. Wei thought for a while alone, then took the maid out to Mrs. Hu's house. Coincidentally, Mrs. Wu was also at Mrs. Hu's house with Wu Xiangling at this time.
