Chapter 118 Confessing with Elders

Yesterday,

It's a little late to go home,

Some things are not convenient to say,

Xu Wenhui went to the office earlier on purpose today.

I am going back home to discuss matters with my elders about Minglan.

Xu Wenhui went to Zhongwu Hall first.

As a result, only Liang Churan was there.

After saluting, Xu Wenhui frowned and asked after sitting down on his seat:

"Madam, father is not here?"

Xu Wenhui had heard before that Xu Yaozu rarely rested here at Liang Churan's place.

But he couldn't say much about elders' matters.

It's just that Xu Yaozu went too far.

The time for his return is not short, but as long as he comes to Zhongwu Hall to say hello,

This Xu Yaozu is always absent! This is not saving any face for Liang Churan!

Liang Churan was used to it, as if it didn't matter, he smiled and said:

"I'm too lazy to care about what your father is doing now. I'm quite comfortable if he's not here!" After saying that, Xu Wenhui came over without changing into his official robe. He knew that he had something to discuss, so he asked:

"Hui'er, do you have something to tell me?"

Xu Wenhui also temporarily put aside Xu Yaozu's matters, nodded and said:

"There is one thing that I have to trouble Madam, and that is my marriage!"

Hearing Xu Wenhui talk about marriage, Liang Churan also perked up, sat up straight and asked curiously:

"Oh? Hui'er, have you decided yet? Which family is she from? Tell me quickly!"

These days, because there are so many people coming to visit her, she is extremely busy, but Xu Wenhui just doesn’t say anything.

Now that the results finally came out, she was also curious about who could win Xu Wenhui's favor!

At this time, the maid served a cup of tea. Xu Wenhui happened to be a little thirsty, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put down the teacup and said:

"Speaking of which, my mother has only met this person before. She is Minglan, who went to our girls' school with Wan Ling, and is the granddaughter of my great-aunt! Wen Hui plans to marry her!"

"What? Minglan?" Liang Churan was also drinking tea from a teacup. He was so surprised that he spilled the tea. Apparently he didn't expect that Xu Wenhui was talking about Minglan.

Taking the handkerchief from the maid's hand, Liang Churan wiped it briefly, then looked hesitant and asked tentatively:

"Minglan's appearance and character are good, and I was very happy to see it, but does this background mean that...

After all, we are a noble family. If the future eldest lady is from a low background, people will gossip! "

Liang Churan was a little cautious when speaking, obviously afraid that Xu Wenhui would be angry.

After all, Xu Wenhui is a stepson, and his current status is extraordinary. Liang Churan can't explain it clearly, but the meaning is still very clear.

That means Minglan's status is too low!

Xu Wenhui did not respond directly and continued:

"Yesterday Cao Guozhang hosted a banquet for me. Although he didn't say it explicitly, the underlying meaning behind his words was that he was obviously worried about my marriage with a wealthy family!"

"Cao Guozhang is the uncle of the state, and his words can reflect the thoughts of the official family and the empress to a certain extent!"

In fact, this is not the real reason. Xu Wenhui is just following the trend.

In the northwest and southwest, his Xu family generals all held heavy troops to maintain peace on the border.

He is now just like the British public, he can basically sit on the Diaoyutai safely.

No matter which official comes to power, the only thing he can do is to win over him. Everyone cares about each other and compromises with each other!

Of course, Xu Wenhui will not be proud of being favored, so this time he just wants to express his attitude to the royal family!

Hearing what Xu Wenhui said, Liang Churan didn't know what to do.

She can still give some advice on inner-house matters, but if it involves officialdom and inner-city matters, she can still give some advice.

She didn't quite understand, but complained a little: "The officials and the empress have too much control, including weddings!" After saying what he thought of, Liang Churan continued:

"Hui'er, even if it is taboo to marry into a wealthy family, there is no need to wrong yourself so much. Let's see again!

If you really like that girl Minglan, just bring her into your house! "

It seems that Liang Churan still has some different opinions on Minglan being the legal wife.

However, Liang Churan had good intentions, so Xu Wenhui was not angry, and then said with a blunt smile:

"The so-called dragon has regrets, the moon is full and full,

Now that our family has status and power, it’s time to hide our capabilities and bide our time, as we don’t have to stand out in this regard anymore!

After all, Minglan was raised by her great-aunt herself. It would be unreasonable to take her as a concubine.

And I think that girl Minglan is pretty good. She will definitely be a good wife in the future. Just her.

Mother will then leave a message to the matron of the Sheng family and settle the matter! "

Hearing what Xu Wenhui said, Liang Churan knew that Xu Wenhui had made up his mind to fall in love with Minglan.

There is a little girl who is talking about good luck in her heart, but she cannot object anymore on her face.

After thinking for a while he said:

"Do you need to tell your father about this?"

"It should!"

Xu Wenhui nodded. Although Xu Yaozu didn't care about the matter, it was still necessary to say something!

Seeing Xu Wenhui nod, Liang Churan turned to the personal maid and ordered,

Apparently he went to look for Xu Yaozu!

After the maid went out, Liang Churan thought for a while and said:

"By the way, Hui'er, Minglan is a concubine after all. It might not look good if she says it out loud. Do you think you should discuss it with the Sheng family's mistress then?"

Xu Wenhui was stunned at first when he heard this, and then realized what Liang Churan meant.

This is to remember Minglan's name on Wang Ruofu. Although this is a bit deceptive and has no practical significance,

But she does look much better in appearance, and it actually elevates Minglan’s status.

Otherwise, this woman is still very thoughtful, and Xu Wenhui doesn’t care much about his concubine and doesn’t even think about it.

So he laughed and said:

"The eldest lady is thoughtful, just do what the eldest lady wants!"

The two of them chatted while waiting for Xu Yaozu,

after awhile,

Xu Yaozu's somewhat impatient voice came from outside the door,

"Oh, what's the matter? You still have to call me back. Didn't I tell you that if something happens, you can make the decision yourself!"

But after coming in, Xu Yaozu felt a little embarrassed when he saw that Xu Wenhui was there.

He walked up and sat on the other side of Liang Churan and said with a smile:

"Um, Hui'er is here too!" He whispered and glared at Liang Churan, complaining:

"Hui'er is here too, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Liang Churan deliberately said loudly:

"Why, is there any difference between Hui'er's presence and absence? As a big lady, I can't disturb the Marquis?"

Of course, Liang Churan deliberately kept the maid from telling her. Although she usually acted like she didn't care, how could she have no objection to Xu Yaozu hanging around with his concubine?

Seeing that Liang Churan was embarrassing him in front of Xu Wenhui, Xu Yaozu immediately retorted:

"Look at what you said, that's what I meant!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xu Wenhui and smiled:

"Hui'er, do you have anything to ask your father about?"
