Kneel down and beg to return to the field

The matter of getting married is not just a verbal agreement between the two families, there are still many procedures according to the rules.Wei Lai had never thought about getting married, and he didn't know about it. Fortunately, there was an overzealous Marshal Wei. As soon as the two of them left the gate of the Shangshu Mansion, he took over the matter in a big way.

I don't know if it was because he was afraid of Wei Lai's repentance, but Marshal Wei acted very quickly, and in just one day, he was able to prepare almost all the preparations needed for the engagement.On the morning of the third day, he came to look for Wei Lai with a red lacquer gift box: "Xiao Wei, come here, write the Geng post first, the He family is still waiting for the birth date."

Wei Lai was a little helpless, but the matter had come to this, and she couldn't help her to say anything more.Honestly took the Geng Post that Marshal Wei took out from the red lacquer gift box and opened it. Except for the birth date, Marshal Wei had already written other contents, but the final signature was also Marshal Wei's name.

Before Wei Lai could open his mouth to ask, Wei Yan explained: "This geng post was originally written and exchanged by the elders. Now that your parents are not around, I'm pretending to be the elders with a shy face. But it's a coincidence that you Both of my surnames are Wei, we might have been a family hundreds of years ago, even if you call me uncle, it won’t hurt you.”

What is Wei Yan's status?It's not so easy for other people to marry relatives and friends, so how could Wei Lai not know what is good or bad.After she thanked her, she didn't say anything more, she just picked up the pen and tried to write the words as correct as possible.But even so, compared with Marshal Wei's iron strokes and silver hooks, it is still more than a star and a half away.

After finishing writing, Wei Lai took a look at the post and inevitably blushed a little.Seeing this, Wei Yan made a rare joke: "Little Wei, you should practice your calligraphy. It's not enough to be able to read and understand military books. That girl He Zhi is a well-known talented woman in the capital. Get it."

When Marshal Wei said it, Wei Lai blushed even more.Although she didn't really want to marry He Zhi, such a big gap between them still made her feel a little uncomfortable, always feeling unworthy.Taking a glance at the pens, inks, papers and inkstones that were almost just decorations in her room, Wei Lai began to think, is she really going to start practicing calligraphy?

The soft sound of knuckles hitting the table pulled back Wei Lai's wandering thoughts, Wei Yan seemed to have seen all of Wei Lai's thoughts, and smiled at this moment: "Okay, calligraphy practicer There is no rush, are you ready for the post?"

Wei Lai was taken aback for a moment before he realized it, but after looking around, he couldn't find anything to bet on.After thinking about it, she took out a jade pendant from her bosom, and solemnly put it into the red lacquer gift box.

Wei Yan didn't say anything when he saw him, he closed the lid and left in a hurry carrying the gift box.

Wei Lai felt that getting married must be a very troublesome thing.Although she is not married yet, it is enough to make an appointment, and Marshal Wei and Mrs. Wei are helping to manage it.

Although the rumors about Wei Lai and He Zhi were widely circulated in Beijing, most of them were spread among the upper class, so the Dingbei Army did not hear any rumors.But this time, the news of Wei Lai's engagement was spread out somehow, and there was an uproar in the Dingbei Army for a while.

Wei Lai was brave and good at fighting when he was young, and most importantly, he was humble. He was always popular in the army, especially among the black armored cavalry, everyone respected her.Earlier, Wei Lai's resignation really shocked them, but it didn't take long for them to turn around. When they heard the news, these people looked much happier than Wei Lai.

No, just after the day's practice, Wei Lai was surrounded by black armored cavalry before he could leave the school grounds.Then a bunch of questions were thrown at her: "General, I heard that you are getting engaged? Which girl is it?"

"General, you are going to marry a wife, so why don't you resign and return to your hometown?"

"General, you haven't set up a house in the capital yet, have you? Where will your daughter-in-law live after you get married?"

"General, there is a house near my house that is just for sale. The place is big enough and not expensive. Why don't you come and have a look with me now..."

……

This topic is too twisted, and within a short time, I went from whether I want to get married, to which store in the capital has good furniture, who knows a mason who is good and cheap...

Standing in the center of the crowd, Wei Lai glanced at them silently, feeling that apart from fighting, none of these people was reliable.But in the end, she was dragged out of the barracks by this group of unreliable and over-enthusiastic black armored cavalry.

Because Wang Hu said that when getting engaged, the woman will go to the man's house to see each other, and then it must be to leave a good impression on the other party.And Wei Lai didn't have a home in the capital at all, so he couldn't let people come to see him in the barracks, right?

In fact, Wei Lai didn't care about this, because she knew that this engagement was just a way to slow down the war, and she would end up going through this life alone after all.But thinking about He Zhi, she felt that she shouldn't have wronged the other party. She couldn't give him more, but at least she had to do a good job of superficial skills at this moment.And the house, after she resigns from office, she won't suffer a loss if she resells it.

Thinking like this, Wei Lai finally followed them out of the barracks, and honestly went to see the house.

Unlike Wei Lai's turmoil, He Zhi's side is business as usual.

Mrs. He didn't know that Wei Lai had intentionally refused the marriage, but after seeing the rumors, she came to the mansion to make a marriage arrangement, and she treated her as sincere.At this moment, although Wei Lai still had some doubts about Wei Lai's status as a general, she began to take care of her daughter with peace of mind, and the engagement was proceeding in an orderly manner in her hands.

Because the marriage was settled, He Zhi could no longer go out casually, let alone listen to her father's advice to "coincidentally meet" Wei Lai, so she also stayed at home with peace of mind, reading, writing, playing the piano and painting, and lived a rare peaceful life.

"Miss, Wei Lai...the Geng post from my future son-in-law is here." At noon on the third day after discussing the engagement, Xi Qiu got the news in the front yard, and rushed to Huayu Pavilion to report the letter.

He Zhi was really writing at first, but when she heard that her hands paused for a while, she continued to write.That performance seemed plain, but she also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart—in fact, she was the one who plotted against Wei Lai about the engagement. It is a foregone conclusion, and there are many fewer variables.

After making up her mind, He Zhi didn't reply to Xi Qiu's words, but continued to write.Not long after that, another little girl came to the front yard, and she presented Wei Lai with the bet sent by Geng Tie—the jade pendant.

"Miss, this jade pendant..." Xi Qiu was about to say something, but saw He Zhi wave his hand at her, and then swallowed the words again.

He Zhi took the jade pendant, waved the little girl back casually, and didn't think there was anything wrong with Wei Lai taking the jade pendant as a pledge.A smile flashed in her eyes, and she stretched out her hand to pull out another jade pendant that was almost identical, and then put the two jade pendants together and buckled them, and they became one seamlessly.

"Xi Qiu, ask someone to go and see, what has Wei Lai been up to these two days?" He Zhi played with the jade pendant and ordered casually.

Xi Qiu took the order to go, and got the news in the evening - General Wei was following a few of his subordinates to look around the house recently, and it looked like he was preparing for his future marriage.

When He Zhi heard the news, doubts and surprises flashed in He Zhi's eyes.But she didn't say anything, she just took out the jade pendant again, and after separating it, she handed the half that belonged to Xi Qiu to Xi Qiu: "Find a chance, give this half piece of jade to Wei Lai. "
