Cheng Shulan went to the housekeeper Chu Qingfu and explained his intention, asking him to do a favor for his friend.
Butler Chu thinks this is not possible, for fear of causing trouble in the future.
Cheng Shulan said that the Han family was a well-known family in Jiangzhou. How could the eldest daughter of the Han family marry Zhao Chuan as a third wife? She just wanted to delay time and deliberately cope with the family's forced marriage. There was no need to worry.
Although Butler Chu had a worried look on his face, seeing that Cheng Shulan was determined to do this, he had no choice but to say: "That's it, then I'll arrange the appointment letter, betrothal gift and matchmaker."
"You don't need to prepare a betrothal gift. You just need to write a gift list. I have already prepared these. You and I can just sign it." Cheng Shulan said.
The housekeeper thought that since my wife signed the pledge, it didn't matter to me, so he accepted it.
Mrs. Xu was naturally happy to do so.
After the matter was completed, it was handed over to Han Lingyu for review, and then the few of them continued chatting and playing.
Later, Deng Ninzhi, Zhao Chuan and Xue Yan also participated in the meal and chat, and they dispersed just after dark.
After that, Miss Han often visited to teach Zhiqin chess, calligraphy and painting, and sometimes even stayed in the guest room of Zhaojiajia Medical Center.
Three days later, Butler Chu arranged the matter.
But I always felt something was wrong afterwards. I didn't know if the owner Zhao Chuan knew about it, but he didn't dare to say it openly.
Butler Chu has been feeling uneasy. After thinking for two days, he still felt that it would be best to find an opportunity to talk to Zhao Chuan.
One day, Butler Chu met Zhao Chuan in the garden. Seeing that he was in a good mood, he tried to ask: "What is the relationship between Miss Han and our family? It seems like a family. We have been very close recently. Is there anything special?"
"I'm just a friend of my wife. We've known each other before, and we treat each other as brothers and sisters." Zhao Chuan said calmly.
When the housekeeper heard that it was normal, he felt relieved and stopped asking any more questions.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, a housekeeper from the Han family, claiming to be from the Han family, brought several people to the Zhao family. He said he wanted to discuss the marriage between the Han and Zhao families.
Butler Chu was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. This is not right. His wife said she was helping with the situation, how could she make it true?
"Steward Han, there may be a misunderstanding about this matter. As far as I know, that was not what was said at the time. Where is your lady?" Butler Chu asked the other party hurriedly.
"I have returned to Jiangzhou to be married!" Butler Han replied.
Butler Chu pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said with a smile: "Butler Han, please be patient. Let's do this. I will report the matter of marriage to the master and his wife, and I will go to Jiangzhou to discuss it in the near future. What do you think?"
"No need, the lady's eighth year has been brought, and the person who is good at predicting the marriage date has arrived. The Han family has provided the lady with a dowry in a mansion in Qinzhou. It has been renamed "Zhao Mansion", and decoration and cleaning are in progress..."
Butler Chu was dumbfounded when he heard this.
Only then did Butler Chu know that his wife had fallen into someone else's trap, and he didn't know whether the master knew about it or not. He was also responsible for this.
The more Butler Chu thought about it, the more regretful and fearful he became.
Butler Chu really wanted to throw himself to death, and sighed in his heart: The Zhao family's life is booming, and now a wife is going to suddenly appear. Look what he is getting involved in. Am I not a pimp? What kind of housekeeper am I?
"Marriage is a matter between two families, how can the Han family overstep their control?" Butler Chu simply made up his mind and tried his best to stop it.
"Now that the marriage has been decided, the wedding date will naturally be agreed upon by both parties. The Zhao family has taken the initiative to propose the wedding, so you can give me a firm date so that Han can go back and resume his life!"
"This matter has not been determined yet, how can we set a wedding date?" Butler Chu said with a face, but that was it anyway, and he just wouldn't let go.
"What does it mean that it has not yet been determined? Could it be that the Zhao family wants to refuse the marriage? You have to know that if the woman breaks off the engagement, she will have to pay back the bride price. If the man regrets the marriage, he will have to go to jail!" Butler Han started to scare people.
Although Butler Chu has seen the world, he is not intimidated. But I thought this was the truth, and the Han family was extremely powerful, so it could indeed be done.
"Butler Han, please be patient and don't be impatient." Butler Chu had no choice but to change his mind and practice Tai Chi: "Well, let's arrange for everyone to have dinner in the restaurant for the time being. Let me discuss with the master and his wife and then reply."
The people from the Han family agreed. You always have to eat.
Chu Qingfu had no choice but to arrange for someone to accompany the Han family members to wait for dinner, while he rushed to Shu Lan to report the matter.
Cheng Shulan hadn't seen Miss Han for several days and was anxious about the return of the letter of appointment.
Logically, this book should have been returned long ago, but there is no news.
When I was in a hurry, I saw Butler Chu arriving in a hurry, and I was immediately confused when I heard that.
The housekeeper realized that the master must not have known about it. The wife fell into the trap and asked quickly: "Madam, does the master know about this?"
"I don't know!" Cheng Shulan said.
The housekeeper pondered for a long time and asked tentatively: "Is it...possible that he knew about it behind the scenes?"
Cheng Shulan understood what the housekeeper meant, that is, was Zhao Chuan and Han Lingyu conspiring to do this? Sing the double act.
Cheng Shulan thought for a long time, shook her head and said no.
The butler was helpless and sighed: "I can only ask the master to decide this matter. You can't hide it!"
Zhao Chuan came over, and the housekeeper explained the reason in detail. Zhao Chuan laughed and said: The engagement is broken off, and the Han family can just agree to compensate if they want.
"Master, if the Han family refuses to retreat, if they want to sue the government, they will have to go to jail!"
"Jail? Sit on grandma's legs! Just sit, am I still afraid of going to jail? Now I have first-class medical skills, and all the first-class people in Qin City are friends with me. Don't they want to be healthy?"
The housekeeper was worried and said, "Although my wife has the final say in this matter, I am also responsible. I am afraid that both my wife and I will go to jail!"
Cheng Shulan was already crying, saying, "What can I do about this? I don't want to go to jail..."
Zhao Chuan couldn't comfort her, so he stood up angrily and left: "You caused this, you can do whatever you want, I don't care!"
After Zhao Chuan left, the housekeeper said, "Madam, how should we deal with this matter?"
"Just go to jail, what should I do if the child is too young?" Cheng Shulan looked gloomy.
"I don't ask, I just don't want you to go to jail. I let my wife make the decision. What does she have to lose by accepting such a marriage? It's a beautiful woman for nothing. The Han family has married into a mansion, which has been renamed Zhao Mansion and is being renovated. How about looking for the good things falling from the sky?"
Cheng Shulan was also confused: "Then... let Butler Chu take care of it!"
Now that the important matter has been decided and everything else can be easily handled, Butler Chu and Butler Han continue to discuss, and the woman insists on getting married as soon as possible.
Butler Chu: This matter must have been done too hastily, and many things were too late. I feel that the Han family has gone too far.
"Butler Han, since the big things have been decided, why bother being pushy about small details?"
Butler Han asked everyone to step aside, leaving only Han and Chu: "Butler Chu, to tell you the truth, I totally disapprove of this marriage. It would be too unfair for our eldest daughter of the Han family to marry your master. It is said that our family The young lady is suffering from a strange disease and cannot survive unless she marries your master. If not, her beauty will be gone after February, what can I do?"
"Why don't you tell me?"
"The master has never said it clearly, so how can I say more? I am helpless and hope to understand. Therefore, I will stop saying nothing. Do you understand?"
Butler Chu seemed to understand at this time. As for what to do, the wedding date is scheduled for the 16th of next month.
Zhao Chuan was in a state of confusion and did not go to Cheng Shulan's place for several days.
Deng Ninzhi: "Husband, I heard that you want to marry another wife?"
"What do you mean?" Zhao Chuan asked.
"It's funny, hubby, you are so awesome. This time it's Miss Han. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Zhao Chuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad when facing this precious wife: "You knew it very early. When I married you, I didn't know it until the night."
When Deng Niangzhi heard this mentioned, she immediately lost interest: "Sister Shu Lan seems unhappy these days. You should go to her place and have a look."
"Who does she blame for being unhappy? She is the cause of everything."
"Husband, you can't say that. Miss Han has been secretly in love with you for many years!"
Zhao Chuan asked: "Have you ever had a crush on me?"
"I once went to look for you near the carriage shop that took me home. I thought you must live nearby, but I couldn't find you and later left Mengcheng. I was really pitiful at that time, so I know what it's like to miss someone else." Deng Ninzhi cried while talking and fell asleep in Zhao Chuan's arms.
As the wedding day approaches, Butler Chu is very busy. The restaurant has been booked, but the wedding venue cannot be decided.
It was originally planned to hold the wedding at the current location, but someone from the Han family asked to take over the "Zhao Mansion", saying that the wedding would be held in the Zhao Mansion, but the eldest wife did not go to the Zhao Mansion, so it was held at Puji Hall.
The Han family thought that although Puji Hall was not small and had three entrances to the courtyard, its facade was actually a medical clinic, so they did not ask Zhao Chuan and just did it casually.
The second wife, Deng Ninzhi, didn’t know anything. The most terrible thing is that these butlers cannot make the final decision regarding the wedding specifications.
It was only about ten days. Chu Qingfu invited everyone to the lobby to discuss matters and talked about all the important matters. If no one could make a decision, the housekeeper would not be able to continue his job, so he would give up his job and leave.
Zhao Chuan was helpless: "Since you agreed, let's have it big. The Zhao Mansion will accept it. People who can go there will go. The wedding will be a grand wedding. Let's go and see it now."
Shu Lan didn't go, so Butler Chu took a dozen people and Zhao Chuan and Nian Zhi to the Zhao Mansion, where the Butler was handling the handover with the Han family.
Zhao Chuan and Deng Ninzhi inspected the new mansion.
This is a three-entry courtyard. Like Puji Hall, there is a main entrance on the left side in front. There are five private rooms on the right, two more than Puji Hall. The first entrance is through screen doors on both sides, and the second entrance is through the middle door. Each has five wing rooms, five main rooms at the back, wing rooms on both sides, and seven Qin rooms at the back of the third courtyard.
Deng Ninzhi said: "Husband, this is so impressive, are we going to live here in the future?"
"Not necessarily. This is my natal family's dowry. You don't know if they are comfortable living here. Sister Shulan doesn't want to come. What do you mean?"
"I'll go wherever you go, what else should I do?" Deng Niazhi said coquettishly.
Zhao Chuan ignored her.
"Hey, hubby, Butler Chu will help me buy a courtyard and exchange the property lease in a few days." Deng Ninzhi said again.
"Why do you want to live alone?" Zhao Chuan was a little surprised.
“Renting, living alone is boring”
Butler Chu finished the handover and went to the second courtyard to meet Zhao Chuan.
Housekeeper: "The handover is over, they will stay temporarily in the hospital, and we will stay in the west wing temporarily. What do you think of the arrangements for the new house?"
"What do you mean?"
The steward said: "The first one on the west side,"
"The four rooms are fully decorated, with the same facilities, and all have happy words on them. Don't tell which one." Butler Chu thought to himself about this master.
On the day of the wedding, many people came to the Han family. Chu Qingfu and Butler Han were arguing over etiquette issues. Should Mrs. Han pay homage to Mrs. Cheng and Deng, or Mrs. Cheng and Deng should pay homage to Mrs. Han?
Cheng and Deng were unable to produce proof that the matchmaker was marrying, so the housekeeper had no choice but to find Zhao Chuan. Zhao Chuan said that Mrs. Cheng had never brought her to her hometown, and Mrs. Deng was getting married in Hentian Palace.
Zhao Chuan took out the jade token from somewhere, waved it in front of Butler Han, and pointed at Chu Qingfu: "Listen to him." Of course the jade token is useful.
Everything went very smoothly. After paying homage to heaven and earth, the new couple and Shulan Nianzhi bowed to each other. The newlyweds were sent into the bridal chamber and entered the second room at the east end. Although the Han family knew that Cheng and Deng were not married to matchmakers, they originally wanted to take over Cheng and Deng for Ling Yu. In the end, Zhao Chuan came forward to pay homage to each other. Although they were unreliable, they both had nothing to say.
After the banquet was over, the guests all left, and the Han family stayed for a long time and set off tomorrow.
The middle room of the main house was originally the place where the ancestral tablets were stored, but Zhao Chuan obviously couldn't, so he used it as a living room.
Shu Lan and Zhi Xueyan were both there, and Zhao Chuan asked, "Is Nian Zhi here tonight or going back?"
"I am where you are!"
"Where's Sister Shu Lan?"
"I'm going back"
Zhao Chuan: "That's okay, but you have to come over to talk in the next few days. Nian Zhi, you can go with Sister Shu Lan. I'll come and take you shopping tomorrow."
Zhao Chuan told Uncle Chu that except for a few people who were taking care of him, everyone should go back.
After everything was arranged, Zhao Chuan arrived at the new house. Shu Lan thought that Zhi Xueyan was there, but unexpectedly saw Qin'er as well. There were so many people during the day that Qin'er was not seen.
"Where did Qin'er come from? Why haven't I seen you all day?"
"I'm with the person seeing off the bride, and the bridesmaid has arranged for someone else. I see you're pulling me hard, but you still don't see me."
Han Lingyu tugged at Qin'er and said, "You must not be unreasonable to your husband."
"It doesn't matter. If you are rude to me in the future, I will take care of your young lady."
"Nianzhi, you either want to take Qin'er away tonight, or you want to stay and keep an eye on her."
Looking at Qin'er, "Let me introduce to you, Sister Shu Lan, Sister Nian Zhi, this is your young lady."
"Qin'er, will you return to Jiangzhou or stay in Qincheng?"
"Of course, Miss." Qin'er said.
"Your young lady is already married, what are you still doing with her?" Zhao Chuan said.
"I'll take care of Miss!" Qin'er glared at Zhao Chuan.
"I will take care of your young lady from now on, so you won't be needed anymore." Zhao Chuan also glared back.
Qin'er suddenly knelt down and said, "Don't drive me away, okay?"
Zhao Chuan hurriedly pulled her up, "It's a joke, why take it seriously!"
Everyone was extremely embarrassed when they saw it, and Han Lingyu was also very angry.
Everyone stood up to say goodbye, and Deng Ninzhi played the piano: "Come with me, I will bring you back tomorrow morning."
After everyone left, the two of them were speechless. Zhao Chuan just kept looking at his new wife.
This wife has a rivalry with the stupid wife. She is so beautiful. My heart beat faster and my heart beat excitedly. I also felt distressed. Yes, I felt distressed. When I think about it, I feel distressed.
It felt like an ice crystal and extremely beautiful snowflake. It was about to break when it fell, and when he held it, it was about to melt. He tried hard not to let her melt, but also to prevent her from being submerged in the sea of snow. He really tried his best to prevent her from melting and drowning in the sea of snow. When he arrived, he didn't ask for anything or have any extravagant expectations. After he realized it, he didn't dare to stay for a while, for fear that he would change his mind.
The excitement in the past has been drowned by three unforgettable loves. The short and thrilling love with Cheng Shujie has been frozen in the bottom of his heart. The long-lasting love with Shu Lan is hard to let go. The unexpected little wife makes him regard it as a treasure, and he feels that he has already lost it. The bowl is full and there is no room for anything else.
When Yu'er appeared in the past, he just felt that his previous efforts were a pity, but when they met again, Ling Yu's behavior now made him unhappy. She hurt Shu Lan and touched the pain in his heart, but Zhao Chuan could not hate her.
