Son of Heaven Assistance System

Chapter 191 The Xu Family and the Wei Family

"It's actually this Wei family."

Uncle Bai held the bronzing invitation card in his hand, his expression changed again and again.

He never thought that the Wei family that appeared suddenly would be the Wei family from Qingzhou.

The Wei family in Qingzhou was originally just a middle-class family, and they could be regarded as pawns cultivated by the Xu family in Qingzhou. However, that was decades ago. Now the Wei family and the Xu family have long been inseparable and inseparable from each other.

As for the Xu family, it is the last of the four great families that are as famous as the Bai family, the Zhong family, and the Cheng family.

In fact, among the many aristocratic families here, as long as there are scholars in the family, people in the officialdom, and some family backgrounds, they are bold enough to call themselves aristocratic families. There is no accurate basis for classifying the strength of aristocratic families, whether it is a large aristocratic family or a small or medium-sized aristocratic family. It is more judged by the reputation passed down from generation to generation and the control and influence of each family on the entire court.

Only the Four Great Aristocratic Families are an exception.

The Bai family, the Zhong family, the Cheng family, and the Xu family were able to jump out from many aristocratic families with almost the same strength and become the first echelon in the actual sense.It's all because decades ago, these four families were the main forces that forced the former emperor to abdicate.

It was these four families that started it all, uniting many other families to form a solid alliance of families, and formed a confrontation with the precarious imperial power at that time.

The final result is that the family alliance has won.

Although the final throne inexplicably fell to the Yang family who could only be regarded as picking up the leak at the time.

However, the many wealth left by the royal family of the previous dynasty has completely nourished the four great families who are the leaders of the family alliance.

After this battle, the four families of Bai, Zhong, Cheng, and Xu have truly established their reputation as the four great families and completely distanced themselves from other families.

Different from the Bai, Zhong, and Cheng families who are keen to hug each other to keep warm, the Xu family is a strange thing. They have always been free in their children's marriage, even if their son wants to be another family's husband-in-law.

At first, everyone thought it was a joke. After all, although the Xu family said so, such a situation never happened.

Until 20 years ago, the second son of the Xu family at that time fell in love with the only daughter of the Wei family. Since the Wei family only wanted such a daughter, the young master of the Xu family offered to be the son-in-law.

As a result, the Xu family not only did not stop them, but happily married their son to the Wei family.

It has achieved "a good story of the moment".

Think of the origin between the Wei family and the Xu family.

Uncle Bai murmured strangely: "This Wei Lang is probably the child of the young master of the Xu family..."

He was supposed to be the serious young master of the Xu family, but because of his incomprehensible elders, he was given the surname Wei.

This Wei Lang can be considered a miserable person...

Ji Gu, as the most capable servant around Uncle Bai, naturally knows a lot about the intricate circle of the aristocratic family.The relationship between the Wei family and the Xu family in Qingzhou is not a secret, and Ji Gu is naturally aware of it.

"Then, do you want to meet the young master of the Wei family?"

Uncle Bai slowly closed the gilded greeting card in his hand. At this time, his drunkenness had dissipated a lot. Uncle Bai thought for a moment: "See, although the surname is Wei, he is from the Xu family in the bottom of his heart. I can't help Xu." When will the family become enlightened, and want to recall the son who was married off by them?"

"Besides, the Xu family has lived in a peaceful place these years, and I haven't seen anyone from the Xu family for many years. Maybe this Wei Lang is a turning point?"

Jigu said: "Then let's set the tenth day, sir, do you think it's feasible?"

Officials in the Qi Dynasty rested for one day every ten days, and the tenth day of the Lunar New Year was Uncle Bai's most recent rest day.

Uncle Bai nodded, then waved his hand again: "Let's arrange it."

Ji Gu replied "Yes", but hesitated in his footsteps.

Apart from these routine matters, Jigu is very uncertain about the marriage between Bai Jitong and Sun Xiangming, whether he should tell the uncle.

Although Uncle Bai is happy and proud every day, it's all because Miss Twelfth Bai Xianyou's position as the crown prince has been secured.

But Jigu knew very well in his heart that the uncle's disappointment with the third young master still existed.

In the past few days, there are not a few people who have come to express their willingness to marry their daughters to the third young master Bai Jitong, but the uncle will not care about anyone who expresses this intention, and he is unwilling to listen to it.They even sent someone to send all those greeting cards that clearly mentioned Bai Jitong, the third young master of the Bai family, to Zhining Yuan.

But even so, Jigu still couldn't be sure whether the uncle completely ignored the third young master, or was it just a moment of anger.

Uncle Bai was "appreciating" the rest of the invitations, when he looked up and saw that Jigu not only didn't leave, but also hesitant.

He wondered, "But what else?"

"Master, it's the third young master..."

Jigu hasn't said what exactly happened, but Uncle Bai has already raised his hand to signal Jigu not to say any more.

"I don't want to take care of his affairs. You don't need to report to me. If you have anything to do, you can go to Zhiningyuan to find the eldest lady."

After a pause, Uncle Bai continued to add: "Especially his marriage."

Uncle Bai's thoughts are actually rascal. He was disappointed and angry with Bai Jitong a lot, but it's not that he really doesn't want Bai Jitong as a son anymore, but he just thinks that since it was the eldest lady who decided to cancel Bai Jitong's marriage at that time, then it is natural to let him The eldest lady will help Bai Jitong find a suitable marriage partner.

As for whether the one selected by the eldest lady is suitable or not, that is a question to be discussed later.

Uncle Bai doesn't think that among the people who have rushed to visit in the past half a month, which one can match the Bai family? There was news of the princess at home.

So he didn't expect that at this moment, the eldest lady had completely ignored him and made a new marriage partner for Bai Jitong, and even his parents and even Bai Jitong himself had already nodded in agreement.

Only he actively kept in the dark.

...

A quarter of an hour later.

Jing Xin received the news that Uncle Bai wanted to see Wei Lang.

At this moment, Jing Xin is not in his small courtyard, but in Manxiangyuan, which has long since been emptied.

In fact, from the Manxiangyuan incident to the present, Jing Xin spent half of the nights in Manxiangyuan during the half month.

It's not that Jing Xin hasn't found out the whole story of the Manxiangyuan incident, it's just that Jing Xin thinks the truth is more unacceptable than Bai Sanye's gossip.

Especially now, when one wave of ups and downs rises again.

The osmanthus trees all over the yard do not change because of people going or staying.

They grow on their own, lush and at ease.

Compared with half a month ago, the sweet-scented osmanthus on the osmanthus tree at this time has not decreased but increased, and the fragrance is even stronger, but soon, the temperature will become lower and lower. After a few autumn rains, the sweet-scented osmanthus here will be in a few days. Withered, only a few green leaves remained in the end.

"Wei? It's really interesting..."

"I don't know if that kid Jing Wu can escape unscathed."
