Chapter Seventy-Nine: True Fragrance
said that Xu Yan rushed to Chen's mansion with the little scholar.
Although his mother had returned to Ningbo first, Xu Yan still had to say goodbye to his grandfather and uncle.
After a period of hard work by Mr. Chen, the daily weaving production of the weaving yamen has gradually entered the right track.
The old man can finally go home and live without staring at the yamen and supervising the work day and night.
Knowing that his grandson was coming, Old Man Chen was very excited, and called Xu Yan to the study alone, and even his own son Chen Zongzhi retreated.
Seeing that his grandfather was so mysterious, Xu Yanzhi felt strange.
Xu Yan listened patiently, and listened to his grandfather's nonsense for a long time, and then came to the point.
"Good grandson, last time my grandfather told you about the marriage, your parents have agreed."
Old Man Chen made Xu Yan stunned as soon as he opened his mouth.
Marriage? Really?
And what does it mean that Daddy and Lady have agreed? He didn't hear any wind.
Mom, that's scary, isn't it?
Xu Yan didn't have any hidden diseases, but he simply didn't want to get married.
After all, getting married means starting a family, and many things have to be considered from the perspective of an adult.
Xu Yan is now a teenager, and many things can be fooled by gags. But if you are an adult, these methods are not good.
Besides, fifteen years old is a bit too young, right?
Xu Yan was a little difficult to accept for a while.
"Grandpa, my grandson thinks it's better to start a business first and then start a family. After all, the grandson has no fame yet, so let's take a break. ”
Old Man Chen seemed to be prepared, squinted his eyes and said, "Good grandson, grandpa didn't ask you to get married immediately." If both families agree, they can get engaged first. You'll be eighteen in three years, so there's no problem getting married, right? ”
There's no problem with what you mean, right?
How did Xu Yan feel that this matter was non-negotiable?
"Grandpa, it's not that my grandson doesn't want to..."
Xu Yan wanted to fight again, but his grandfather directly took out an envelope.
"It's the woman's Geng post inside, you have to read it first."
"Huh? Gengti? ”
Even Geng Ti is coming, my mother!
Xu Yan made a sad and indignant expression, and opened the envelope very humiliated.
He kept telling himself in his heart that he couldn't give in, he couldn't give in, he couldn't give in!
I said that I would die of hunger, thirst, and poverty, and I would not accept an arranged marriage!
Fight, we must fight to the end!
Xu Yan took a deep breath and pulled Geng Ti out.
When I opened it, I had a look of surprise on my face.
Hey? Hong Miaoyun? How is she?
Xu Yan hurriedly asked, "This Geng post belongs to Miss Hong's?" ”
"Of course."
"Xixi Hong's family?"
"In addition to the Xixi Hong family, which daughter of the Hong family is worthy of my good grandson?"
"Hong Miaoyun..."
"Why, good grandson, do you know her?"
"It's... Not really. It's a long story, and her grandson has a relationship with her. ”
Old Man Chen said proudly.
"Although the Hong family is a family of eunuchs, we have not climbed them. After all, the Hong family has not been a jinshi for a long time, and they enjoy the name of Hangzhou's wang clan by relying on their ancestral shade. They are a huge family with huge annual expenses, so naturally they want to marry us. It's called reciprocity. With your good grandson's knowledge, it is easy to gain fame and fame. At that time, I am afraid that the Hong family will climb us. ”
I have to say that there is some truth in what my grandfather said.
For this kind of big family that is in decline, how to make the family develop better is their primary consideration.
Xu Yan now enjoys the name of Ningbo's first talent, which can be described as a popular fried chicken, who is not optimistic about such a potential stock?
The Hong family also wants to strike first. What's more, marrying with the Xu family also has great economic benefits, which can be described as the best of both worlds.
Besides, the Xu family, marrying with this kind of official family can well enhance the status of the family, no wonder the father agreed so quickly.
As for the old lady, she is naturally a husband and a wife.
In general, the Xu family is a potential stock, and in terms of the current family backgrounds of both parties, the Hong family is obviously stronger. The Hong family threw an olive branch, and the father sold his son, which really made people laugh and cry.
If it were someone else, Xu Yan would definitely fight to the end without hesitation.
But this is wonderful... Xu Yan was indeed a little moved.
First of all, this daughter of the Hong family is very beautiful.
It is not the "beauty" of the snake spirit plastic surgery face in later generations, but the kind of clean beauty.
Goose egg face, red phoenix eyes, willow leaf eyebrows, cherry mouth, thin lips like cicada wings...
This is simply the image of a traditional oriental beauty!
Fang was at the gate of the fang, Xu Yan pounced in order to save her, the two hugged each other and rolled a few times, Xu Yan could be said to have observed this Hong Miaoyun up close.
Her skin is white, delicate, and even tinged with a faint body fragrance.
This kind of woman is Xu Yan's favorite type, and he can't resist it at all!
Of course, Miss Hong also has a very good personality, talks softly and elegantly, and feels very educated.
Maybe this is everyone's show.
Of course, the most important thing is to be beautiful...
Xu Yan felt that this matter could be talked about again.
Of course, it's just something to talk about.
Xu Yan would not be engaged to a woman who only had a relationship with him for that hug.
Although this was already considered good in the Ming Dynasty.
After all, many people don't even meet each other before they get married...
"Well, grandpa, do you think this will work..."
Xu Yan swallowed a mouthful of spit and bargained.
"This daughter of the Hong family is really good. Can you talk about it first, not engaged. ”
When Old Man Chen heard this, his beard immediately blew up.
"What a system! Even if you don't want face, don't you want face for the Hong family? ”
Xu Yan was helpless, spread his hands and said: "But once something like engagement is done, there is no room for maneuver at all." There is no relationship between her grandson and her for the time being, if..."
"There are no feelings to cultivate. Your father and your mother haven't even met before they got married, what are your feelings? Isn't it also respectful now? ”
Old Man Chen didn't give Xu Yan face at all, and directly cited his father and mother as an example.
In the face of this unreasonable offensive, Xu Yan was defeated.
"Geng Ti's grandson accepted it first, how many days will my grandfather give him a few days to let his grandson think about it?"
Seeing his grandson's pitiful look, Old Man Chen finally softened.
"Well, you'll have to think about it quickly. After thinking about it clearly, I wrote a letter, and my grandfather could negotiate with the Hong family. ”
I don't know why my grandfather's enthusiasm for this matter is so high, is it because he wants to experience the happy life of four generations in the same house?
Hiss, it's terrifying.
"Okay, my grandson promises to think about this matter before coming to Hangzhou next time."
Xu Yan had to leave a living mouth for himself.
Well, when you come to Hangzhou is another matter.
