Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan.

Chapter 354: Promoted to Legal Wife
Wei Shuyi knew that he would not live long.

So, at this moment, she really wanted to return to her childhood.

This way, she can continue to accompany her sister and brother.

But her road has come to an end.

Wei Shuyi choked up as he told the interesting stories of Wei Yuan's childhood.

"At that time, if you were bullied, you would go home and cry."

In the blink of an eye, the man from the Wei family who was supposed to be protected by her has grown into a national giant.

Now, among all the bigwigs in the court, who would not respectfully address Wei Yuan as "Grand Tutor Wei" when seeing him?
This is the surface brightness.

Since the first year of Jiayou, only Wei Shuyi knew how difficult and precarious it was for Wei Yuan to come this far.

Why does she always ask Minglan to keep a low profile?
The main reason was not that he was worried that Minglan would get into trouble in the capital.

But once she gets into trouble, others will think of Wei Yuan.

She was worried that the mother and daughter would cause trouble for Wei Yuan, who was walking on thin ice.

"Little brother, it's not easy for you."

Wei Shuyi is very concerned about his younger brother.

For all the talented and meritorious officials throughout history, if they had reached Wei Yuan's level, to move forward would mean life or death, but to retreat would mean falling into a bottomless abyss.

When she was in good health, she couldn't even do anything for Wei Yuan. Now she is like a candle in the wind, and it is even more impossible for her to do anything.

Wei Yuan needs to take on everything.

After an unknown amount of time, Wei Shuyi looked a little tired.

Wei Yuan told her to have a good rest and then left the room.

He saw Zhang Guifen, Wei Ruyi and Minglan who had just arrived standing in the yard.

"Eldest sister has already rested, second sister, you and I will stay at Sheng's house for the time being."

Wei Yuan's tone was heavy when he said this.

There were two tear marks at the corners of Wei Ruyi's eyes, obviously she had just cried.

Zhang Guifen came up to Wei Yuan, supported his arm, and walked to a stone bench, asking him to sit down.
"In the next few days, I will look for famous doctors to see if there is any way to save the patient. Don't worry for now."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan gave a bitter smile. Is there any way to turn the tide in this world?

"Forget it. It just so happens that everyone is here. I will spend some time with my elder sister and send her off for the last time."

Wei Yuan took a deep breath and looked at Sheng Hong, "I'll have to trouble you to arrange a place for me to stay."

The latter quickly said: "Brother Yuan, what are you talking about? It's too formal."

Before this, Wei Yuan asked Zhang Xiaomei to return to Beijing to take care of Zhang Fu's health, and also asked her to visit Wei Shuyi.

At that time, she said that Wei Shuyi's vitality had been severely damaged and there was no way to recover.

Since then, Wei Yuan had actually prepared himself mentally, but he did not expect that this day would come so soon.

That Zhang Xiaomei was the female doctor who treated him when his arm was poisoned.

Wei Yuan looked at Mu Ge'er who was held by Minglan and stretched out his hand to ask him to come over.

Minglan put Muge'er down.

Mu Ge'er came to Wei Yuan obediently and said, "Uncle, is mother sick? When will she get better?"

Wei Yuan stroked Mu Ge'er's little head with a forced smile, "When Mu Ge'er grows up, your mother's illness will be cured."

Suddenly, Mu Ge'er seemed to have thought of something, and hurried into the house, bringing out a pair of knee pads.
"My mother said that my uncle would be going on a long trip next year and she didn't know when he would be back, so she made a pair of knee pads for him."

"Mother also said that the north is bitterly cold, and even in the early spring of next year, my uncle will still be able to use it, so I'll give it to you."

Wei Yuan took the knee pad in his hand, and his lips couldn't help but tremble.

If what happened today were to spread out, I'm afraid no one would believe it. Wei Yuan, who was hailed as a god of war by the Liao Kingdom and the Western Xia, would actually shed tears and be sad.

Zhang Guifen quickly and gently stroked his back, hoping to ease his sadness.

He understood very well why Mu Ge'er sent him this ready-made knee pad.

I guess Wei Shuyi hopes Wei Yuan can take care of Mu Ge'er in the future. "I heard that Mu Ge'er has started enlightenment at the beginning of this year?"

Wei Yuan looked at Sheng Hong who was standing aside.

Sheng Hong nodded and said, "Mu Ge'er is a very smart child and is often praised by the teacher."

Wei Yuan said: "I have invited a doctor from the Imperial Academy to teach Qi Ji how to read and write. Let Mu Ge'er come as well after the New Year."

Originally, the one who taught Wei Qiji was Wei Ruyi's son Changger, but Changger had already gone to Yanbian to take up a post, so Wei Yuan simply invited a teacher from the Imperial College to teach him.

If Wei Yuan had not mentioned the words "Doctor of the Imperial College", Sheng Hong would probably have plenty of reasons to refuse.

But once the Doctor of the Imperial College was brought up, Sheng Hong was left with no excuse.

After all, no matter how good the teacher he hired was, he could not be better than the teacher in the Imperial College.

Sheng Hong was slightly stunned, then agreed to it.

Later, Wei Yuan and his wife visited Mrs. Sheng.

The old lady felt sorry for Wei Shuyi's situation and sighed:

"Shuyi is a good girl, and she taught Minglan such a good girl. What a pity."

Wei Yuan said, "Old lady, I have a request. After my eldest sister passes away, I want to be admitted into the Sheng family ancestral temple as the principal wife. I wonder if you can make the decision on this matter?"

"This" the old lady was a little embarrassed.

Although Wei Shuyi had an imperial edict, it was not difficult for her to enter the Sheng family ancestral hall as a concubine.

However, it is really hard to understand that she has to enter the ancestral temple as the main wife.

In the future, when Madam Wang passes away, the descendants of the Sheng family will see that Sheng Hong had two wives. What do they think is going on?

Wei Yuan knew the old man's concerns, so he said, "Next year I will lead the Northern Expedition, and I will take Changbai with me. I will let him be a military advisor, and when we return victorious, I will let him be a minister in the Ministry of Rites. What do you think?"

The difficulty here is that Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu will not agree.

However, Wei Yuan threatened Sheng Changbai's future, so they had no choice but to agree.

"Brother Yuan, why are you doing this?"

Old Madam Sheng understood the hidden meaning in Wei Yuan's words.

She thought that doing these things for a dying person was unworthy of Wei Yuan's current status.

After all, as the Grand Tutor and Prime Minister of the current dynasty, he should act in a manner consistent with his position.

If this spreads to the public, there will probably be a dispute over etiquette.

But Wei Yuan never cared about these things, he only did what he thought was right.
"My elder sister has done me a favor. While she is still alive, I cannot do anything to the eldest lady of the Sheng family due to some personal feelings. I cannot promote my elder sister to be the legal wife of the Sheng family. This matter has always been a knot in the heart of the younger generation."

"Now my elder sister is about to pass away. If I can't even do this, then what's the point of me being a tutor?"

The implication is that if he does not agree, then after Wei Shuyi dies, he will not care about any feelings.

The court needs Taifu Wei, not the Sheng family.

Although Sheng Changbai's official career was smooth, he was praised by some people as a potential prime minister and was considered a talent.

The thing that scholars lack the least is talent.

If it weren't for Wei Yuan, those people would never have said that Sheng Changbai was a potential prime minister when he hadn't made any political achievements yet.

With just one word from Wei Yuan, the entire Sheng family could be forced to return to their old home in Yangzhou.

Old Madam Sheng sighed again, "Forget it, I will take charge of this matter."

Wei Yuan stood up and bowed, "Thank you, old lady."

"I know that you have been working hard for the Sheng family all your life."

"There are not many things I can do. As long as Mu Ge'er is alive and well, if my Wei family is safe, I should have an official uniform from the Sheng family."

Old Mrs. Sheng nodded.
