Chapter 399

Zhang Xuan's face turned slightly red, and he quickly bowed to Su Wei and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister Su, for worrying about his humble position."

Su Wei smiled and waved his hand, "I also heard from Shuai Zhang that he will be your matchmaker and host of marriage, but unfortunately, he cannot return to Beijing now, and may not have time to take care of this matter for a long time, so I took the initiative to take on this matter. Yuan Ding will not think that I am busy!"

"Of course not, I can't ask for it."

"Then I'll overtake my business."

Su Wei was very happy that Zhang Xuan could agree happily. He took a sip of wine and said slowly: "Actually, the biggest regret of the emperor to you is that you have not started a family yet. Do you understand the profound meaning of this?"

Zhang Xuan's voice was a little cold, "If I had a son and stayed in the capital, my official position would be promoted higher. Is this what the Prime Minister meant?"

Su Wei nodded slowly, "Although the words are a bit bad, it does mean that starting a family and starting a business is related to your future."

At this time, Su Erniang, who was standing beside him, said angrily: "Father, this is too difficult to accept. Is General Zhang marrying and having children just for the sake of high school?"

Su Wei laughed, "I don't speak properly, I'll give you a drink!"

He raised his glass and drank it all, apologized to Zhang Xuan, and asked, "We will discuss the matter. I also know that the general has no relatives, but if the marriage is organized, it needs to be carried out at the man's house. General Zhang thinks it is to borrow my mansion? Or find another mansion?"

Zhang Xuan never thought about going back to Beijing and facing a marriage, but he shouldn't delay it anymore. As for the house, he has been considering it. Of course, he can also borrow the Su Mansion.

But in this way, it will make people feel that he is already the Su Party. Not to mention that he and Su Wei do not have such a friendship, even if he is there, he should avoid it. Especially, you should not offend Pei Ju in these details.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "I have always wanted to buy a house in Beijing, but it is too difficult to buy a house in Beijing, or it is not suitable. I don't want it, which is also a heart disease for me."

Zhang Xuan implicitly rejected Su Wei's suggestion. How could he hold a wedding for him in the Su Mansion? He and Su Wei have no relatives and no reason. Even if they borrowed Zhang Xutuo's mansion, they would not get married in the Su Mansion.

Zhang Xuan's polite refusal made Su Wei feel a little disappointed, but as he expected, he asked with a smile: "I wonder what kind of mansion the general wants? Maybe I can help."

Zhang Xuan thought for a while and said, "First of all, you have to be on the south side of Luoshui. Secondly, it's okay to cover an area of ​​about five acres, which is a little bigger. In addition, it's better to have 70% to 80% new, so you can move in without much care. It's better to have more trees."

Su Jun laughed, "General Zhang's request is not low!"

Su Erniang, who was sitting opposite, felt thoughtful. She pondered for a moment and smiled: "Maybe there is such a house."

Su Wei also asked in surprise: "Is there really?"

"Did my father forget it? Mai Meng had a different house that wanted to be transferred. He came to find a father last month and asked if his father was interested."

Su Wei suddenly remembered it, and he smiled at Zhang Xuan and said, "It's the son of General Mai Tiezhang. I seem to have praised their Mai family's other house for being good. Last month, Mai Mengrang came to me and said he wanted to sell the other house. He asked me if I was interested. I told me to consider it. I forgot it."

Su Wei asked his daughter again, "A month has passed, is the house still there?"

Su Erniang smiled and said, "Since he asked for his father's opinions and his father has not yet responded, I think he should be still there."

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed, “Can I go and take a look?”

Su Erniang nodded and smiled, "If the general has time, I can accompany the general to take a look tomorrow."

Zhang Xuan was slightly stunned. Following a widow to see the house, would anyone else have any explanation?

But then I thought about it. If I don’t care, why should I think so much? Besides, Su Dingfang will go with me. What’s the matter?

He nodded happily, "Then I'll trouble my second wife!"

After lunch, Zhang Xuan said goodbye and left the Su Mansion. He agreed that Su Wei would be the matchmaker and go to the Lu Mansion to propose marriage for him.

Zhang Xuan himself did not expect that the marriage would come so quickly. He was not prepared at all. He could not find the marriage preparations, houses, or even the person who accompanied him to meet him. It was not until he left the Su Mansion that Zhang Xuan felt a little nervous. Should he wait a little longer?

However, there was one thing that made him impatient. Just like the last time he went to Pei Yun’s mansion for dinner, he was almost hungry and his chest was pressed against his back. He had to find a place to have a good meal.

Zhang Xuan led a few personal soldiers to urge the horse to run towards the south city.

There were hundreds of steps away from Nanshi City. He had already seen the golden signboard of the Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant. At this moment, Zhang Xuan suddenly heard someone calling him behind him.

When Zhang Xuan turned around, he saw a very ordinary rental carriage coming towards him. A young lady was waving to him excitedly on the window. It was A Yuan who had not seen him for several months.

Zhang Xuan quickly grabbed the war horse, and the carriage ran towards him for a moment. A Yuan got out of the carriage and said happily: "Young Master, I'm going to find you!"

"Where are you looking for me? Do you know where I live?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.

"I don't know, but I guess you should be in the warehouse in Nanshi City."

Zhang Xuan then remembered that he seemed to have an empty shop in Nanshi. He almost forgot about this, thanks to A Yuan in advance.

"It seems like a coincidence that I don't live in the warehouse. I live in another inn. Fortunately, you met me, otherwise I would definitely not be able to find me."

"Young Master, I'll send a letter to Miss Qing." A Yuan quickly took out the letter and handed it to Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan took the letter and pointed to the wine shop not far away and smiled, "Go in and sit for a while and tell me what happened after you return to Beijing."

Zhang Xuan took A Yuan to the Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant and found a seat by the window on the second floor.

Zhang Xuan ordered more than a dozen dishes and asked his personal soldiers to have a table next to him. He ate a little bit of food before he opened the letter Lu Qing wrote to him.

In the letter, Lu Qing asked him tactfully if he was busy with things in the capital. Only then did he realize that he should go and see Lu Qing. No matter what, at least he should let her know that he had been thinking about her.

Zhang Xuan felt a little apologized in his heart. He was really worried about whether he could return to Qingzhou, so he didn't even bother to visit Lu Qing.

At the end of the letter, Lu Qing mentioned that Cui Zhao threatened her father and did not allow Lu Zhuo to marry his daughter to her, otherwise it would seriously affect the century-long friendship between Cui Lu and the two families. Her father was very worried about this matter, and she was also worried that her father would not be able to bear the pressure.

After reading the letter, Zhang Xuan was secretly annoyed. He didn't expect that the Cui family was still interfering with Lu Qing's marriage. He restrained his anger and asked A Yuan: "Is it still the wife in Lu's mansion the decision?"

"Many people say that the Lu Mansion is controlled by the wife, but I don't feel that the wife is in charge. Because the wife has the Cui family as the backstage, the master often gives in to her and doesn't want to argue with her. I think the master is still the master to take charge of the real big thing."

"What's Miss Qing worried about?"

A Yuan shook her head, "I don't know what the girl wrote in the letter, but I guess the girl was worried that the Cui family would interfere, because the lady had clearly said after the girl returned that as long as she was there for one day and as long as the Cui family was there, the girl would not be able to achieve her wish."

After pausing, A Yuan whispered again: "Before I went out, I heard that Cui Wenxiang had come to find his wife, that is, his aunt. As a result, Mr. Lu rushed in and scolded him. The maids present said that it seemed to be for the marriage of Miss Qing."

Zhang Xuan slowly drank a sip of wine. He was really puzzled. Why did the Cui family destroy their marriage with the Lu family? A intuition told him that this was not as simple as the Cui family to exclaim. After all, the Cui family was the first family in Hebei. It was not the demeanor that a family should have. There must be something else in this.

"Young Master, what should we do?" A Yuan asked worriedly.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already asked Su Xiangguo to go to Lu's mansion to propose marriage for me. In addition, I will go to see the house tomorrow, and there are still many things to do. There should be news soon."

A Yuan almost jumped up with joy, and her pretty face smiled, "I'll go back and tell the girl this good news. God opens her eyes, and the girl has finally waited for this day."

A Yuan didn't want to delay any more for a moment, and even her favorite butter crispy duck didn't bother to eat. She got up and left. Seeing that she was anxious, Zhang Xuan waved her hand and called a personal soldier to escort A Yuan back to Lu Mansion.

A Yuan left in a hurry, and Zhang Xuan slowly ate the cake. He felt that there were a lot of things to do in his heart, but he didn't know where to start for a while.
