Bab 419: Chapter 419: Taking Two Young Ladies to the Capital City_1

"Born with a fair and pretty face? Does my older brother not know that only concubines would need to rely on their looks to serve? Wealthy families seek virtues when choosing a wife, and adhere to the principle of marrying someone of an equal social status. What importance is there in one's feature now?"

"Exactly, so what if she becomes a concubine? It is better to be a concubine of the royal family or of a prominent noble family than to be a wife of a farmer. What benefits would there be for our Wei Family if she marries a farmer?" Wei Mingyong retorted.

"Ridiculous! Absurd! Has our Wei Family fallen so far as to rely on women for our benefits?"

"What's wrong with it? Younger brother, stop being so stubborn. Look at the Qi Family, didn't their rise to power begin when Imperial Concubine Qi was favoured, allowing Lord Qi to flourish at court? This is not something to be ashamed of."

"Nonsense!"
