Chapter 1158 Redemption 9 (Complete)(2/3)
?"
As he spoke, he showed disapproval.
"Good boy, my aunt knows that you are filial, but this is a matter of your life. You can't choose to be particular just because the Fan family is close."
Zhang Huahan smiled and hugged Zhu Qiyun's arm. After getting along with her for this period of time, she was no longer alienated from this aunt who taught her wholeheartedly and had plans for her.
"Auntie, I really think Mr. Fan is quite good."
"The other two young masters are not bad, but their family backgrounds are too good for me."
"I know that my uncle and aunt are supporting me and they are willing to marry me, but the conditions of the Zhang family are there after all. Even if I marry into their family, I will probably be looked down upon."
"The Fan family is very good. It is an aristocratic family in Xuzhou. Although some people in the family are serving as officials, their official positions are not very high. Although they are high-ranking, they are not too high."
"In this way, I don't have to have too much burden in my heart, and I won't feel too unworthy of Young Master Fan. If there is no burden in my heart, my life will not be too tiring."
Zhu Qiyun looked at Zhang Huahan and sighed: "If your mother could be as transparent as you, why would she marry into the Zhang family?"
"It's hard to live in high places. A noble person from a high family looks great from the outside, but he has no real ability. If he marries into a high family and becomes his wife, he will suffer in the end."
"Good boy, since you think Mr. Fan is good, then I will go to inquire about the situation of the Fan family, and your uncle will also test Mr. Fan's character."
Zhang Huahan is deeply blessed: "Hua Han is deeply grateful to his uncle and aunt for their love."
......
In the evening, after Yan Wenjie left the office, Zhu Qiyun told him Zhang Huahan's choice.
After hearing this, Yan Wenjie was silent for a long time: "Since it is Hua Han's choice, then we respect her decision. However, we must find out clearly about the situation of the Fan family. If it is not good, we will find someone else for her."<
/p>
Zhu Qiyun nodded: "Don't worry, I will make a thorough investigation."
At the end of November, after nearly a month of inquiring, the Fan family was thoroughly investigated by the Yan family. It was determined that Mrs. Fan was not someone who treated her daughter-in-law harshly. The Fan family also had a strict family tradition. Third Young Master Fan had good character and knowledge. Zhu Qiyun and Yan Wenjie were talented.
Feel relieved.
After finding out the situation of the Fan family, Zhu Qiyun revealed the situation to the Fan family.
Third Young Master Fan and the Fan family were both a little surprised when they learned that Zhang Huahan had taken a liking to him.
You know, among the three people the Yan family likes most, Mr. Guo has the best family background, Mr. Yang is eloquent, and Mr. Fan is just so-so.
After being surprised for a moment, Mr. Fan became happy and felt that Zhang Huahan had a good vision.
Naturally, the Fan family was not reluctant to get married with the Yan family. Mrs. Fan immediately took several girls from the Fan family to the provincial capital, visited Zhu Qiyun, and met Zhang Huahan by the way.
After meeting Zhang Huahan, Mrs. Fan was very satisfied. The family did not have high requirements for the younger son. The family's resources were given to the eldest son and second son, and less was allocated to the younger son.
Miss Zhang is Yan Buzheng's niece. With his help, the younger son's future will be much smoother.
Although the Zhang family is a family of merchants, it is not completely without merit. According to their inquiries, the Zhang family still knows how to behave.
As long as the Zhang family is not a drag, the Fan family feels that everything is fine.
Mrs. Fan and Zhu Qiyun agreed to go to the Zhang family to get married in mid-December, so it would be difficult for Zhang Huahan to continue living in the Yan family.
On the third day of December, Zhang Huahan got on the boat back to the Zhang family under the escort of the uncle of the Yan family.
......
Mr. Zhang received the news in advance and knew that the Mr. Yan family had sent his daughter back in person, so he quickly asked Mrs. Zhang Er and Mrs. Zhang San to clean up a yard.
When Zhang Huahan and the uncle of the Yan family arrived, everyone in the Zhang family came out to welcome them and enthusiastically embraced them into the house.
To the Zhang family, for Zhang Huahan's sake, the Yan family's uncle was quite polite. He just exchanged a few words with Mr. Zhang and then proposed to visit Yan Yile.
Zhang Huahan led the uncle of the Yan family to Wutong Courtyard. On the way, he hesitated for a moment and then said: "Cousin, my mother has not been very fond of seeing people these years. If...if...
..."
The uncle of the Yan family saw his cousin's troubled look and immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, my father and mother told me about my fourth aunt before I came here. If my aunt doesn't see me, then I will kowtow to her in the yard."
p>
Hearing this, Zhang Huahan felt grateful: "Thank you, cousin, for your understanding."
Soon, the two of them arrived at Wutong Courtyard.
Yan Yile really didn't want to see the Yan family, but thinking that her daughter would definitely have to rely on her second brother's family in the future, she suppressed her reluctance and met the Yan family uncle in the living room.
This move surprised both Zhang Huahan and the Yan family uncle.
Although Yan Yile only accepted the gift from the uncle of the Yan family and briefly greeted Yan Wenjie and Zhu Qiyun, the two were still satisfied.
The uncle of the Yan family did not stay at the Zhang family. He paid a visit to Yan Yile and then got up and left the Zhang family. From the time he entered to the time he left, it took no more than an hour.
In this regard, the Zhang family is a little disappointed. The longer the Yan family uncle stays in their home, the more it proves that the relationship between the two families is very good. Unfortunately, even with Zhang Huahan in the middle, the Yan family still does not want to see the Zhang family.
After sending the uncle of the Yan family away, Zhang Huahan went to Mrs. Zhang's room and sat for a while. He only picked up some things that could be discussed in the Yan family and told the Zhang family.
Looking at Zhang Huahan, who is becoming more and more dignified and dignified, the Zhang family members all have complicated expressions.
Today's Zhang Huahan, even Mrs. Zhang, no longer dares to be careless when facing her.
I have to say that high-ranking dignitaries are good at teaching people. Zhang Huahan has only lived in the Yan family for a few months, and his speech has become impeccable.
Even if Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang Er and Mrs. Zhang took turns asking questions, they couldn't get any useful information out of her.
If no information could be found, Mrs. Zhang stopped keeping her.
After leaving Mrs. Zhang's yard, Zhang Huahan went straight to Wutongyu.
......
"Mother!"
Having seen the wealth and excitement of his uncle's family, Zhang Huahan only felt sad when he saw Yan Yile, who was alone, hiding in the Zhang family's backyard and unwilling to go out.
Yan Yile looked at her daughter with a complicated expression.
When Zhang Huahan went to see off Mr. Yan's family, An Ran told her the story behind Zhang Huahan's choice of Mr. Fan's son.
Knowing that Zhang Huahan specifically chose Huai'an Province as a son-in-law because he wanted to come back to see him more often, I felt moved and sad at the same time.
"The Fan family is just a small aristocratic family, and there are no particularly outstanding children in the family. I know you think the Zhang family's family status is too low, but with the Yan family here, you don't have to worry too much about these things."
Zhang Huahan smiled and poured a cup of tea for Yan Yile. After Yan Yile took it, he smiled and said: "Mother, my daughter really thinks that the Fan family is quite good."
"Although a daughter can marry into a high-ranking family by virtue of her maternal ancestral family, there is no way a daughter can take care of such a family's backyard."
"My daughter doesn't ask for great wealth, she just wants to live a harmonious life with her husband, with less disputes and conflicts. In this way, the daughter will be very satisfied."
"My uncle and aunt have watched Young Master Fan over and over again. He has good character and knowledge. My daughter really likes him without any force."
Yan Yile looked at Zhang Huahan with a serious face, sighed, and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence in her marriage with the Fan family.
In the afternoon of that day, Yan Yile sent someone for the first time to invite Mr. Zhang to Wutong Courtyard and personally discussed with him the matter of getting married to the Fan family.
Only then did Mr. Zhang know that the family the Yan family helped Zhang Huahan settle with was the Xuzhou Fan family.
Yan Yile feels that the Fan family's family background is not high compared to the Yan family, but Mr. Zhang is very satisfied.
The Fan family in Xuzhou is also a family of officials. Although there have been no high-ranking officials in the family in the past two generations, there have always been people serving as officials in the court, who are much higher than the Zhang family.
Before, he was really worried that the Yan family would choose a good family for Zhang Huahan. If the gap between the in-laws was too big, it might not be a good thing. The Fan family was very good, and the Zhang family could still get in.
p>
For Zhang Huahan, Yan Yile and Mr. Zhang rarely sat together calmly.
Without any discussion, Yan Yile directly stated her request for her daughter’s engagement.
Mr. Zhang all nodded in agreement. After all, she is his daughter. In addition, he has been owed a lot over the years, so he also wants his daughter to be engaged in a glorious manner.
On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, members of the Fan family came to the Zhang family carrying betrothal gifts, attracting people in the county to watch.
Yan Yile officially appeared in front of everyone in the Zhang family for the first time. She met Mrs. Fan and the third son of the Fan family. After confirming that the Fan family was really good, she nodded and accepted the betrothal gift.
After the two families agreed, the wedding date was set in one year.
The wedding date was set, and Mr. Zhang immediately started busy buying a dowry for Zhang Huahan. During this period, Yan Yile also sent his own companion to the provincial capital to purchase many good things.
Zhang Huahan, on the other hand, concentrated on embroidering the wedding dress in his yard.
......
In the blink of an eye, one year has passed.
In order to express his respect for Zhang Huahan, the third son of the Fan family personally came to Qingshi County to marry him.
At the same time, a passenger ship sailing from the capital docked at the Qingshi County Pier.
On the day Zhang Huahan went out, it was still dark, and the makeup gifts were carried off the boat, and they rushed straight to Zhang's house.
When the gift-giving team entered the county, it immediately caused quite a sensation.
Looking at the eye-catching characters "face" on the gift boxes, everyone around them looked sideways. Many people followed the gift-giving team all the way to Zhang's house.
The commotion this time was even bigger than the hiring of the Fan family.
The leader who came to give gifts this time was also a capable person. He had chosen the right time. When the gift-giving team arrived in front of the Zhang Mansion, they happened to meet the Fan family who came to marry.
To be continued...
