When mentioning this matter, Yuan Bao suddenly became a little embarrassed and said with erratic eyes: "She is not a girl from the Ning Mansion."
ah? ? ?
Didn't a girl from Ning Mansion come to Ning Mansion to propose marriage?
Yuanbao's brain suddenly went crazy, and there was absolutely no way that his parents would be brainstorming at the same time.
"Then which girl are you planning to propose marriage to?"
"She is the eldest lady of the Zhang family."
Yuan Bao mentioned Miss Zhang, with a look of longing and nostalgia on his face.
"I had met her a few times in the poetry club before, but I always felt that she was very aloof and difficult to get close to. Later, I met her in Zhangjiazhuang teaching the girls in the village how to write. She was as gentle as water and very patient. I realized that, She turned out to be so beautiful..."
Good guy.
It turned out that Yuan Bao was interested in cousin Zhang.
And looking at Yuan Bao's emotional look, it was obvious that there was a story between the two.
Regarding the story between the two, Ning Wuxu wanted to gossip, but more importantly: "Mr. Yuan, you have fallen in love with the eldest cousin of the Zhang family. Why did you come to my house if you didn't go to the Zhang family to propose marriage? "
"It's not because my Yuan family associates mostly with businessmen, while the Zhang family keeps a low profile and doesn't have many relatives and friends in Jinling. The only one I can talk to is you, Mr. Ning."
Yuan Bao licked his face and smiled, trying his best to please.
understood.
Even if he didn't send the monkey, Yuan Bao would probably send something else to knock on the door of the Ning Mansion. Through his connections and the second aunt's mouth, he would reveal his intention to propose marriage to the Zhang Mansion.
The second aunt's natal family is actually only a third-rate aristocratic family in Jinling. In addition, the eldest cousin is old in the eyes of the locals. If she marries into the Yuan family as a young lady, in the eyes of many people, it will still be regarded as Climb high.
The Yuan family could simply send a matchmaker to Zhang Mansion to propose marriage.
Even though Zhangfu is the natal family of the second aunt, as the Ning family is able to rise, this marriage in Yuanfu is also a rare and good marriage.
However, Yuanbao did not go directly to Zhang's Mansion. Instead, he invited his parents to come to Ning's Mansion and asked his second aunt to come forward to talk about the marriage. Even if the eldest cousin of the Zhang family rejected him, the family's face-saving relationship would still be there and there would be no rumors about the relationship. The eldest cousin of the Zhang family has unfavorable words.
Like being picky or something like that.
Going around in such a long way to consider this matter clearly shows that Yuanbao attaches great importance to the Zhang family's eldest cousin.
"Master Yuan is interested, but it's just a matter of engagement. I really can't help."
As someone who had received a private message from the eldest cousin of the Zhang family, Ning Wuyan could not have personally facilitated this matter.
What's more, the eldest cousin of the Zhang family can withstand the rumors and insists that she is not married yet, so she must be a person with ideas.
He thought that even the second aunt would have difficulty convincing the eldest cousin of the Zhang family.
Yuan Bao sighed and said no more.
Not long after, Mrs. Ning Zhang walked into the hall unhurriedly. She was holding Yuan Bao, who was rinsing tea leaves in an empty tea cup with a tea lid, and stood up.
Wow!
The teacup and tea lid in his hand were all smashed to the ground.
Yuan Bao, who was always shy when meeting people, became nervous and quickly apologized: "Mrs. Ning Er, I'm so sorry. I'll send you a set of good tea cups when I get back."
"No need, Sui Sui Ping An, Mr. Yuan, please sit down quickly."
Mrs. Ning Zhang comforted her, and when she walked past where Ning Wushu was sitting, she raised her eyebrows slightly and asked with her eyes what was going on.
In order to avoid catching the second aunt off guard when the Yuan family's parents arrived later, he approached and told the reason why Yuan Bao invited his parents, using the excuse of pouring tea for the second aunt.
After hearing this, Ning Zhang looked at Yuan Bao who was so nervous that he was digging at the corner of the table in astonishment, and then confirmed with Ning Wuyan's eyes.
Until Ning Wuyan nodded heavily, she couldn't help but laugh: "What happened? I have stayed in Zhangjiazhuang for so many days. How come I didn't know they still have such a story."
"It doesn't have to be a story, maybe it's just self-centeredness."
Ning Wuyan didn't dare to give his second aunt a preconceived idea, thinking that this was an emotional drama about love between a man and his concubine.
In order to prevent the second aunt from misunderstanding and making the wrong decision or saying the wrong thing when meeting the Yuan family's parents.
"It's okay, what do you think about this matter?"
Ning Zhang's sudden question made Ning Wuhuang a little confused.
He is a junior, and he is one level of relatives away from the Zhang family. What can he think... No.
Does the second aunt want to connect him with the eldest cousin of the Zhang family?
"Second aunt, in my heart, there is no difference between the eldest cousin of the Zhang family and the two cousins."
After he made his statement, Ning Zhang breathed out softly, seeming relieved and regretful: "Zhang Mansion is my natal family. I have always used my natal family to support my husband's family. They know that life in Ning Mansion is hard, and they have no problem. Since It’s okay, you regard Rou’er as your cousin, and when she comes out of the cabinet, give her a ride as your cousin.”
"..."
Ning Wuyang was silent for a moment. It was not until the servants outside announced that Lord Yuan and Mrs. Yuan were here that he suddenly came back to his senses and nodded vigorously.
"good."
It seems that the second aunt also feels that the eldest cousin of the Zhang family is not suitable for him, but she still feels sorry for the eldest cousin of the Zhang family and wants to use the prestige of the Ning family to help her gain a foothold in Yuan Mansion.
If nothing else happens, the marriage will be successful.
His guess was indeed correct.
Next.
After Master Yuan and Mrs. Yuan handed over the twenty monkeys, they started talking and began to show their sincerity.
"After Miss Juzhang, Yuanbao will definitely study hard. Even if he fails to learn, he will definitely be able to learn when they have children. If he can get some guidance from Ning Shixian, he will definitely shine in the future."
"Also, Yuanbao will never take concubines without Miss Zhang's consent after she joins the family. If she likes to go to the poetry club to play, let her do it, and if she wants to teach in the village, let her do it. These are all good things done by Ning Mansion. She wants to Ningfu follows the same example and we also support it. Other villages in Jinling want to set up village schools, and each of us will donate one hundred taels to it."
Faced with the hint that Boss Yuan wanted to use this relative to increase contacts with the Ning family.
Due to Zhang Fu's efforts, Ning Wuhuang naturally nodded in affirmation.
Seeing Yuan Bao smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed, he pretended to be serious and said, "Actually, Mr. Yuan has a good talent. If he is willing to learn, I am willing to teach him."
"..."
"..."
Mr. Yuan, who had a prosperous face and smiled whenever he met everyone, when he heard this, his face became uncharacteristically tense and he looked at his son who looked a bit naive.
My son actually has a talent for reading?
He has been watching it for sixteen years, why didn't he notice it?
Then I looked at Ning Wuxu sitting across from me, and suddenly I remembered that not long ago, Ning Wuxu was a stupid idiot who was less knowledgeable than his son. Now he is a famous poet in Daxing, with great literary talent and extraordinary talent in business. My heart suddenly became hot.
"Ning Shixian, are you serious about this?"
"Seriously, it's more real than real gold. If I don't have time to teach Mr. Yuan, I can ask my eldest cousin to teach him."
Ning Wuyan looked at Yuan Bao, whose jaw was almost dropped by his words, and asked with a half-smile.
"Master Yuan, are you willing to listen to your eldest cousin's teachings in the future?"
