Chapter 437 Extra - Wei Jue (4)
Before leaving the capital, he thought of the noble lady who became his wife in his dream - Yao Yushu.
In the dream, he was indifferent to Yao Yushu. Her lifelong happiness was ruined in his hands. He felt a little sorry for her, so he asked his grandfather for help.
I hope my grandfather can find a way to make friends with the Yao family and arrange a good marriage for Yao Yushu, and let Yao Yushu choose her own husband.
They would choose the one that satisfied the other party, and the Wei family would also give Yao Yushu a dowry, so that her brother would recognize Yao Yushu as his godsister and protect her for the rest of her life.
After explaining these things, he set out on the journey to take up his new post.
The first thing I did when I arrived in Hangzhou City was to listen to the report from the people stationed there. I learned that the Ye family was very nervous about finding a husband for their daughter.
The visitor also told him that the daughter of the Ye family had fallen into the water a year ago and had fallen seriously ill, but she has recovered now.
Hearing this, Wei Jue almost hit the opponent with a stick, but he also blamed himself for being careless at the beginning.
In his dream, Ye Xi was still alive and well until his death, so he never thought of placing spies in the Ye family to help take care of her. Now he feels that he has missed something.
He had someone follow Ye Xi, and then met the girl in his dream at the arranged place.
When that childish face appeared before him, his heart couldn't help but beat wildly. This was the feeling of falling in love at first sight.
The little girl accidentally bumped into him, and then kept apologizing to him. He looked so helpless, which was so adorable.
He had decided on her, he wanted to marry her! He wanted her to be his legal wife, his only wife!
Before he set out, he had someone prepare a house for him in Hangzhou, which could be said to be quite luxurious.
Then he asked a matchmaker to go to the Ye family to propose marriage, but unexpectedly the Ye family refused.
Wei Jue was dumbfounded. How could the Ye family reject him? He was a fourth-rank prefect!
With the omen from that dream, he knew that he could not use force and could only solve the problem fundamentally, so he planned to propose marriage himself.
When Ye's father and mother saw the prefect coming in person to propose marriage, they were so frightened that they were speechless for a while.
Wei Jue patiently explained his purpose first.
Ye's father was a worldly-wise man, and after he realized what was happening, he still rejected him.
"Sir, it's not that I don't know what's good for me, it's that I'm a naughty girl, I'm afraid I can't marry you.
Since ancient times, marriage has always been about matching one's family background, but you have also seen the gap between our two families, it is really..."
He believed that Wei Jue would understand the rest of the words.
"Is Mr. Ye worried that Madam Ye will be wronged? Don't worry, let me explain it to you in detail first.
My mother died early, and my father and brother are both officials in Beijing. If nothing unexpected happens, the family will be inherited by my elder brother, and my father will naturally live with him.
I should be stationed in Hangzhou for a long time, and maybe I will return to Beijing with my family to visit relatives once in one, two or even several years.
In this case, there is actually no so-called gap between our two families, and I still have to rely on my wife's family for care.
The house I bought is in Yongqingfang, not far from here, and I can go back and forth several times a day.
In the future, the children can often go back to visit their grandparents."
Wei Jue did not mention his family background, as he was worried that the Ye family would be even more unwilling after he told them, so he instead laid out the points that they were most concerned about.
Ye's father and mother pondered over these words and felt somewhat moved.
The handsome young man in front of them was already very pleasing to the two elders, even though their family backgrounds were very different and they were worried that their child would suffer any injustice.
But if it is as he said, and my father lives with my brother in the capital in the future, wouldn't that mean that he won't have to serve difficult parents-in-law?
