Chapter 331 A marriage

In the main hall of the front yard, a woman who looked like a mother in charge was sitting on a small chair in the hall to use tea. The woman was Zhang, the wet nurse of Chu Tianheng, the eldest uncle of the Chu family, and she was very handsome in the Chu family.

Fang Wanru couldn't help but look at her carefully.

This mother is about forty years old, with a big face, very good skin, and a medium figure. She is wearing a green brocade auspicious cloud pattern open-sleeved skirt. She is covered with a corn-colored wool wool hairpins on her head, and two red gold filigree-pinning gold hairpins on her ears. She is covered with fingernail-sized bean-green jade earrings. Although the color is not green, the jade is full of water and fine workmanship, which is rare.

Fang Wanru's eyes flashed, and she saw two wide green bracelets hanging on Zhang's wrist. Judging from the color and water head, it should be emerald.

A slave dressed so elegantly.

Later, when I thought about it, I felt relieved. Chu Tianheng is the only seed of the Chu family. As Chu Tianheng's wet nurse, Zhang's identity is naturally not comparable to ordinary servants.

Fang Wanru's gaze turned and fell on Zhang's face again.

The woman looked extremely kind, but the slightly raised corners of her eyes revealed a different shrewdness than ordinary people, and her lips were so thin that she could tell at first glance.

The visitor is not good ~

Fang Wanru smiled before speaking: "The Chu family in Jiangnan has been famous for a long time. I have always heard that the Chu family is a high-ranking party, and the Chu family is even more popular. We have lived in this small northern town for a long time. Although we admire it, we have no chance to see it at first."

Zhang is Chu Tianheng's wet nurse and the most respectful person in front of the Chu master. After hearing Fang Wanru's slightly flattering and kindness, she couldn't help but smile on her face.

She had no children all her life and had long regarded Chu Tianheng as her own flesh and blood.

"Mrs. Qin is so polite." Zhang put the teacup on the table and said slowly: "The north and south are far apart, so it is normal that there is no chance to meet. Now, our wife intends to marry the mansion. From now on, isn't that the two relatives often come and go?"

"That's right." Fang Wanru thought about it for a while before saying, "Forgive me, I heard that the old man in the mansion had already had an engagement with Qi Baozhu, the eldest lady of the Qi family. Why..."

Although Fang Wanru did not say anything clearly afterwards, the meaning was self-evident.

Zhang didn't even move his eyebrows, and said directly as if he was prepared: "In theory, the lady is right, but no matter how I am in the Chu family, I am just a servant after all, and I don't know much." She then changed her mind and said: "However, I heard that Miss Qi and Miss Qin San had a handkerchief, and had a very good relationship, which was comparable to their biological sisters. If this is the case... In fact, E Huang Nuying is also a good story."

Fang Wanru was slightly surprised. He heard what Zhang said inside and outside, was the Chu uncle who wanted to enjoy the blessing of the whole family?

It is normal for the children of aristocratic families to have a few concubines. The Chu family mentioned Ehuang Nuying, and the implication was whether they wanted to marry Qin Daixin as a fair wife? This matter must be discussed with Qin Congwen before it can be done.

Fang Wanru felt a little sad. Where is the best place for the third girl? She actually asked people from several major families to fight for her to marry her. Although she was uncomfortable, she could not show it on her face.

The Chu family still needs to give her face. At least she should have the generous appearance of a legitimate mother at this time.

Fang Wanru smiled, but did not answer Zhang's words, but instead asked: "The south of the Yangtze River is thousands of miles away, and the nanny is exhausted all the way. I guess it is extremely hard. I don't know where to rest?"

There is a reason why Fang Wanru did not respond to Zhang's words positively. The Chu family did not send a matchmaker to the house to say kinship, but only let the servants with good faces come to see her. Although this shows an attitude, it is not firm and does not explain any problem. Secondly, the Chu family cannot marry Qin Daixin for no reason. The hidden things behind this are something that they don't know. They always have to figure out the Chu family's meaning to decide what happens next.

Furthermore, there are so many people who want to marry, and it will take a decision to decide which one to decide after discussing with the master.

Zhang felt obediently, and she laughed, "Our uncle has real estate in Taizhou."

Fang Wanru thought to herself that if this is the case, it would be much more convenient to discuss things. Regardless of whether the marriage is successful or not, it would be great to have a relationship with the Chu family.

"This is a good thing, and it is easier for both families to move around." No matter how you hear it, you are very happy inside and outside.

Zhang then said something amazing, "Our wife attaches great importance to this marriage. The old slave comes here just to be a pioneer. Soon, our uncle will go north in person, and then he will naturally be in trouble at the mansion."

The Chu family is coming? This is a terrible thing. I thought to myself, maybe the Chu family has arrived, but I just didn't come forward directly for some reason.

Fang Wanru was secretly happy, as if the Qin family and the Chu family had already tied the line.

Zhang said something to Fang Wanru for a while, and finally presented all kinds of gifts and gift lists brought from the Chu family to Fang Wanru, then got up and said goodbye.

Fang Wanru guessed that she was going back to pass the message to her master, so she did not try to keep her, and asked someone to seal two ingots of silver in a box and give it to Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang was not polite, and happily left with the box.

When Qin Congwen came back from socializing in the evening, Fang Wanru told him about this.

"...The Zhang family is the nurse of the Chu family. I guess he has a certain face in the Chu family. However, the Chu family did not send a matchmaker to the house, but instead sent Zhang family, which seemed not so sincere."

When Qin Congwen heard that the Chu family was going to marry him, his face became even more exciting. He was stunned at first, then he was very unbelievable, and then he laughed foolishly as if he had picked up a treasure, and his words and deeds were very proud.

He had a social engagement today, and after drinking some wine, he was a little drunk, and sobered up after listening to Fang Wanru's words.

"The Chu family has no contact with our family, so it is inappropriate to come to propose marriage rashly. The Chu family is a noble family, so I know this rule. Of course, I should find someone to explore our style first." Qin Congwen took off his robe, exposed the middle robe inside, and reached out to ask Fang Wanru to serve him and put on a random soft robe.

"What's more, according to your opinion, the Chu family wants to marry our daughter and the two wives of the Qi family, the eldest lady. If this is the case, we should talk to us first."

Fang Wanru didn't like Qin Congwen's words "our daughter", but she couldn't refute them, so she could only listen silently.

"...The Chu family's uncle is probably just telling this matter if he wants to come to the door." It refers to the marriage of Qin Daixin and Qi Baozhu at the same time.

Fang Wanru thought about it, but couldn't help it and asked, "So many people come to propose marriage, which one does the master like?"

Qin Congwen thought for a while and then said, "Let's go! Let's talk about it." In fact, all the companies are good, but when he thought of Qin Daixin's words, he hesitated.

It was just a matter of letting go, but there was no loss. Before the third girl could get married, she had another sister on her and she had not been engaged, so it made sense to drag her down.

"I think it's all very good, especially the Jia family." Fang Wanru tried to make her tone softer, "After that she is a wife, what else does the master dislike for such good conditions?"

Qin Congwen knew that Fang Wanru had always liked the Jia family, but she wanted to marry her second daughter. Her family was born into a merchant, and even if she married her legitimate daughter, she was still arguing.

The third girl is born in a vassal family, but the Jia family always looks up to her. Maybe there is a reason for the eldest princess here?

"Madam, I know you like the Jia family. If Dongyue couldn't marry, I wouldn't let the third girl marry." The Jia family's marriage was indeed the first choice, and it was a pity to give up like this. But Qin Congwen knew that only in this way could Fang Wanru be satisfied.

The daughter may not be a helping hand when she gets married, but Fang Wanru is indeed her good wife. She has been doing this for so many years, but she is not good to herself. Even if it is due to the relationship between husband and wife, it will be as good as her!

Fang Wanru felt a little better when she heard Qin Congwen say this. She thought that he put himself first, and her displeasure disappeared. "Old Mrs. Zheng wrote a letter and said she wanted to pick her up and stay at her little place."

Fang Wanru talked about the Zheng family's desire to marry me again.

Qin Congwen's eyes lit up, "This is a good thing." He had also heard of the Zheng family, and he heard that his financial resources were very strong. Besides, the sixth young master of the Zheng family was a scholar, so he would definitely not be able to make any mistakes in the future.

"Arranging it well, let my mother ask me carefully. The person she is looking at is not wrong."

Fang Wanru nodded, and finally felt that the scholar was a little less famous, so she said a few words.

"After all, I was born into a business, and it was a little worse than my elder sister's marriage."

Qin Yixin, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, married a son.

"It's only seventeen years old that he has the reputation of a scholar. It's already good. If he passes the imperial examination in the future, there will be something you regret." Qin Congwen was a little unhappy. He hated Fang Wanru's sense of superiority.

Although she was born as a lady from an official family, didn’t she marry a businessman? What’s wrong with herself?

Fang Wanru was very helpless about Qin Congwen's crazy temper. She knew that she had violated his taboos, so she pressed these things and quickly mentioned another matter.

"I know you are unhappy about Haitang."

"Hmph." Qin Congwen's face suddenly turned dark. This was the thing he least wanted to mention. He silently cursed Qin Fengge and Gongsun Jin from beginning to end in his heart, and felt a little better.

"Master, the matter has happened. What if you don't want to mention it? You didn't see how my aunt and Brother Jin relied on their mother to pamper them. They were domineering in our mansion." Fang Wanru was dissatisfied with Fang's partiality. Her son was more important than a daughter who could not be married, and she couldn't understand.

"In a big way, this is disobedience and unfilial." Even the affair was stolen on the head of the uncle's woman. You can imagine how a bastard Gongsun Jin was.

"The old lady is just confused!" The children do not talk about their parents' faults, and Qin Congwen's words are already very serious.

Fang Wanru was very satisfied with the effect and hurriedly said, "Master, do you think you should find some time to persuade my mother and ask my aunt to take Brother Jin back! There are so many things happening in our family recently. If my aunt gets involved and gets missed, it will not be worth it.

Gongsun Jin has been thinking about Qin Daixin. This is the open secret of the Qin family, and even Fang seems to support it very much.

Fang Wanru was not happy. Of course, she was not considering Qin Daixin. She didn't want to be involved with the Gongsun family. To put it bluntly, she just wanted to draw a clear line with Qin Fengge.

Fang Wanru was vaguely afraid of something in her heart and didn't dare to think about it.

Qin Congwen nodded, "I will tell my mother about this, how can a married daughter stay at her parents' home all day long."

Fang Wanru felt relieved after hearing this. The couple talked for a while and then stopped.

No words all night. (To be continued)
