Chapter 139: Gratitude
"Madam, Song Xiang is dead. As soon as the funeral was completed, his wife took their children and left the capital." Ma Ping'an came in early that morning to report to Wen Mingqian.
“I know,” Wen Mingqian nodded, “When he died, one of my worries was over.”
“Haha, when he died, Ma Daguang felt wronged, saying that he was The person who was ordered by Song Xiang is dead and has no evidence, so he should stay in jail well," Ma Pingan said with a smile.
"They are two snakes and rats in a nest. The reason why Ma Daguang was so tight-lipped before was because Song Xiang had the handle on his life, otherwise he would not have done this." Wen Mingqian said lightly.
"What Madam said is that this Song Xiang is also extremely immoral, and he deserves to return to the West."
"You go down first! The old lady asked me to come over, but I couldn't go too late." Wen Mingqian stood up as he spoke.
"I still have something to ask Madam for advice." Ma Ping'an said hurriedly, "The festival is the birthday of Mr. Cui's family. What kind of birthday gift should we give?"
Ma Ping'an pointed out It was Cui Baozhu's father. In previous years, the Song family had taken care of this matter. She and Cui Baozhu had a close relationship, but the gifts they gave were average.
Now that Wen Mingqian is the head of the family, and what happened before, I think the birthday gifts given will be different from those in previous years.
"Just call Ma Zhang later to prepare." Wen Mingqian said as he walked out, "Your wife is about to give birth, right? I have asked Ma Zhang to arrange two reliable midwives, and Ma Zhu will come to your home these two days. Go, everything for the birth of the child is ready."
Ma Ping'an was very grateful after hearing this: "Madam is busy with things every day, but she still thinks about her little family. "
"That's right. Both of your elders are gone. This is your first child. After all, you are a man. There are some things you can't think of." If it's a big deal, I'll help you settle your family, and you'll be safe in the house, right?"
Wen Mingqian has always been generous to the people below him, and he always thinks first when it comes to important matters.
Only in this way can the people following her be convinced, but the most important thing is to identify the person first.
If they have a loyal character and know how to be grateful, if their master treats them well, they will only gain the center. If you are greedy and dissatisfied, the better you treat them, the more they will take advantage of you.
Then Wen Mingqian came to the old lady's room, and Wei Shi and her natal sister-in-law were also there.
Wen Mingqian smiled and said hello, Mrs. Gong said: "We are talking about proposing marriage to Jing'an, you should also follow us to read the details."
Wei's sister-in-law Yao said: " I have heard about this thing thanks to sister Mingqian. If he hadn't made good friends with Changrong and his wife, what would he have done? How could it be so smooth to fall in love with the fourth girl in their family? "
"I am just a matchmaker, after all, it is the two children who are destined to be together. What kind of temperament is not one of the best?" Wen Mingqian said with a smile.
"Brothers and sisters, don't say that. There are many people who are better than him." Webster said.
"Sister-in-law, you are too modest." Wen Mingqian said, "If Jing'an hadn't been a provocateur, how could the Zhong family be willing to promise us their golden daughter?"
" But it's time to choose a good day to propose marriage. "Ms. Gong said, "Jing'an has been assigned to work in the Hubu Yamen, so he is settled." "The old lady is right. It's the perfect time to propose marriage." Mrs. Yao also said, "Sister, didn't you pass the message over too?"
"I wonder who the old lady wants to arrange to propose marriage?" Wen Mingqian asked with a smile. , "This is the first marriage of the younger generation in our family, so it needs to be more grand."
"You are right, I plan for your eldest brother and sister-in-law, together with you and the second child, to propose marriage, so that it looks solemn." The old lady has been thinking about this matter these days, "Don't let people feel neglected."
"In addition to our family members, we have to find two more official matchmakers," Webster said. "On the day of the marriage proposal, I want to go there with all my appearance. I have also prepared all the betrothal gifts and everything. I will only wait until then." Add more."
"Don't worry, whatever is missing, just take care of the marriages of these grandchildren from me," Mrs. Gong said happily.
"The old lady really loves her grandson. After Jing'an's marriage is over, it's time to give An Zhangluo." Yao said with a smile.
“Yu An was sent to Wu County, which is not far from the capital city more than 200 miles away. In the future, he will just find a way to slowly transfer to the middle of the capital.
He is still young, so he doesn’t need to Don't worry, it won't be too late to wait a year or two," Webster said, "In my opinion, it would be better to keep some distance. If they are busy with their marriage, it would be too tiring."
"What's so tiring about this?" Mrs. Gong disagreed, "You can save your worries by deciding on your children's lifelong events, otherwise they will always be left hanging."
"Jing'an's marriage is Old lady, you have chosen it. You need to be discerning to help me make this choice. "Wechster said, "You can't rely on me."
"Don't worry, they say that Jiang is very old, and I can recognize people with Jing'an's happiness. When these aristocratic families come and go, it is also good to see the daughters of each family who have not left the palace," Mrs. Gong said happily.
“With Jing’an’s marriage in front of us, it will only be better for Yu’an to choose another marriage.” Wen Mingqian said, “It was the people from some previous families who saw that we were married to the Changrong Hou Mansion. After getting married, there will be less Xu scruples.”
“That’s exactly what I said,” Yao clapped his hands. “As the tide rises, all boats are lifted. How else can we say that if we work together, we will both prosper and lose.”

"I feel more at ease when my uncle and wife help me with the details." Mrs. Gong said, "I'm in a good mood today, so I asked them to cook a table of delicious dishes and boil two pots of wine. We ladies can have a good time. Fragrant.”
While ordering people to prepare meals, he took the almanac to choose a date, and discussed the gifts to be brought and who to find to write the geng post, which was all very detailed and trivial. Things can't go wrong at all.
Wen Mingqian was confused here for a long time before returning to his courtyard.
Zhang Ma greeted her and said, "How is the discussion over there, miss?"
"The important things have been settled, but there are still some details that have not been discussed. We will wait for tomorrow. We invited the official media to come and ask them what else they should be concerned about," Wen Mingqian said. "Nowadays, there are many families proposing marriage, and the official media have to wait in line. The two official media that my sister-in-law is interested in are not available at the moment. The old lady means that she can't wait. She is looking for an official media. Tomorrow I Go to Jiangxiahou Mansion and ask if they can help find it.”
"The girl has been very dedicated to the Gong family's affairs this time, and she has put in a lot of effort." Zhang Ma brought tea to Wen Mingqian.
"We are destined to be reunited and separated, and we are close to each other when we are apart. Every time I help them, it solves a problem in my heart." Wen Mingqian smiled, "Even if it is not for anything else, just to repay the kindness of the old man. ”
