Chapter 399: Chance Encounter with Ah Yuan
Zhang Xuan's face turned slightly red, and he hurriedly bowed to Su Wei and said, "Thank you Su Xiangguo for worrying about your humble duties." ”
Su Wei smiled and waved his hand, "I also heard Zhang Dashuai say that he will be your matchmaker and officiant, but unfortunately, he can't return to Beijing now, and he may not have time to take care of this matter for a long time, so I took the initiative to take care of this matter, Yuan Ding won't be troubled by the old man!" ”
"Of course not, the younger generation can't ask for it."
"Then I'll do it for me."
Su Wei was very happy that Zhang Xuan could happily agree, he took a sip of wine and said slowly: "Actually, the biggest regret that the Holy Lord has for you is that you have not yet married a family, do you understand the deep meaning of this?" ”
Zhang Xuan's voice was slightly cold, "If I have a son and stay in the capital, my official position will be promoted higher, is this what Xiangguo means?" ”
Su Wei nodded slowly, "Although the words are a little unpleasant, it does mean this, starting a family and starting a business is related to your future." ”
At this time, Su Erniang on the side said angrily: "Father, this is too unacceptable, is General Zhang marrying a wife and having children just to be promoted?" ”
Su Wei laughed, "If I don't speak properly, I'll be fined a glass of wine!" ”
He raised his wine glass and drank it all, smiled apologetically at Zhang Xuan, and asked: "Let's talk about things, I also know that the general has no relatives, but if you want to handle the marriage, it needs to be carried out at the man's house, and General Zhang thinks it is borrowing my mansion?" Or do you want to find another house? ”
Zhang Xuan didn't think that he would face marriage when he returned to Beijing this time, but he didn't think about it anymore, as for the mansion, he had been thinking about it, of course, he could also borrow the Su mansion.
But in this way, it will make people think that he is already a Soviet party, not to mention that he and Su Wei do not have such a friendship, even if there is, he should be avoided. In particular, you can't offend Pei Ju in these details.
Zhang Xuan smiled and said: "I have always wanted to buy a house in the capital, but it is too difficult to buy a house in the capital, either it is not suitable, and I don't have what I want, which is also a heart disease of mine." ”
Jang Hyun implicitly rejected Su Wei's suggestion and held a wedding for him in Su Mansion. How can it be? He and Su Wei have no relatives and no reason, even if they borrow Zhang Xutuo's mansion, they will not get married in Su Mansion.
Zhang Xuan's refusal made Su Wei a little disappointed in his heart, but it was also his expectation, he asked with a smile: "I don't know what kind of mansion the general wants?" Maybe I can help. ”
Zhang Xuan thought for a while and said: "First of all, it should be in the south of Luoshui, and secondly, it will cover an area of about five acres, and it doesn't hurt to be a little bigger, and it is best to be seven or eight percent new, so you can move in without how to take care of it." It's better to have a little more trees. ”
Su Jun laughed, "General Zhang's request is not low!" ”
Su Erniang, who was sitting opposite, was thoughtful, she pondered for a moment and smiled: "Maybe there really is such a house." ”
Su Wei also asked in surprise, "Is there really one?" ”
"Did Father forget? Mai Mengcai has a mansion that he wants to transfer, and he came to his father last month to ask him if he was interested. ”
Su Wei suddenly remembered, and he smiled at Zhang Xuan: "It's the son of General Mai Tiecan, I seem to have praised their Mai family's other mansion for being good, and Mai Mengrang came to me last month." He said he wanted to sell the mansion and asked me if I was interested. I said let me think about it, and I forgot about it. ”
Su Wei asked his daughter again, "It's been a month, is the house still there?" ”
Su Erniang smiled: "Since he asked for his father's opinion, and his father has not replied, I think it should still be there." ”
Jang Hyun was overjoyed. "Can I go and take a look?"
Su Erniang nodded and smiled: "If the general has time, I can accompany the general to take a look tomorrow." ”
Zhang Xuan was slightly stunned, and followed a widow to see the house, will others say anything?
But when I think about it, people don't care. Why do you think so much? Besides, Su Dingfang will also go with him, so what does it matter?
He nodded happily, "Then it's troublesome Erniang!" ”
After lunch, Zhang Xuan said goodbye and left Su Mansion, and he agreed to let Su Wei be the matchmaker and go to Lu Mansion to propose marriage for him.
Zhang Xuan himself didn't expect the marriage to come so quickly, he didn't have any preparations, he couldn't find the marriage preparations, the house, and even the person who accompanied him to greet his relatives, until he left Su Mansion, Zhang Xuan felt a little nervous, should he wait a little longer.
But there was one thing that made him impatient, just like the last time he went to Pei Yun's mansion to eat, he was almost so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he had to find a place to eat well.
Zhang Xuan led a few personal soldiers to urge the horse to run in the direction of Nanshi.
There were still hundreds of steps away from Nanshi, and he had already seen the golden signboard of the Tiansi Pavilion Wine Shop, and at this moment, Zhang Xuan suddenly heard someone calling him behind him.
As soon as Zhang Xuan turned around, he saw a very ordinary rental carriage coming towards him, and a little lady in the window was waving to him excitedly, it was Ah Yuan, who he hadn't seen for several months.
Zhang Xuan hurriedly reined in the war horse, and after a moment the carriage approached, Ah Yuan got down from the carriage and said with great joy: "Childe, I was about to look for you!" ”
"Where are you looking for me? Do you know where I live? Zhang Xuan couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"I don't know, but I guess you're supposed to be at the Nanshi warehouse."
Zhang Xuan then remembered that he seemed to have a vacant shop in Nanshi, and he almost forgot about it, thanks to Ah Yuan's advance.
"It seems that it is a coincidence, I don't live in the warehouse, I live in another inn, fortunately you met me, otherwise you would definitely not find me."
"Childe, I'll send a letter to Miss Qing." Ah Yuan hurriedly took out the letter and handed it to Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan took the letter, pointed to the wine shop not far away and said with a smile: "Go in and sit for a while, and tell me about the situation after you return to Beijing." ”
Zhang Xuan took Ah Yuan to the Tiansi Pavilion Wine Shop and found a seat by the window on the second floor to sit down.
Zhang Xuan ordered more than a dozen dishes and asked his soldiers to eat at a table next to him, and he ate a little before opening the letter Lu Qing wrote to himself.
In the letter, Lu Qing euphemistically asked him if he was very busy with affairs in the capital, and then he realized that he should go to see Lu Qing, no matter what, at least he should let her know that he had been thinking about her.
Zhang Xuan really felt a little sorry in his heart, he was really worried about whether he could return to Qingzhou, and he didn't bother to go to Lu Mansion to visit Lu Qing.
At the end of the letter, Lu Qing mentioned that Cui Zhao threatened her father that Lu Zhuo would not allow her daughter to marry her, otherwise it would seriously affect the century-old friendship between Cui and Lu's two families.
After reading the letter, Zhang Xuan was secretly annoyed in his heart, he didn't expect that the Cui family was still interfering in Lu Qing's marriage, he restrained the anger in his heart, and asked Ah Yuandao: "Is Mrs. Lu Fuzhong still in charge?" ”
"Many people say that the Lu Mansion is in charge of the lady, but I don't feel that the lady is completely in charge, because the lady has the Cui family as the backstage, so the lord often lets her, and doesn't want to argue with her, I think the real big thing is still the master."
"What is Miss Qing worried about?"
Ah Yuan shook his head, "I don't know what the girl wrote in the letter, but I guess the girl is worried that the Cui family will get in the way, because the lady said clearly after the girl went back that as long as she is there for a day, as long as the Cui family is there, the girl will not want to achieve her wish." ”
After a pause, Ah Yuan said in a low voice: "Before I went out, I heard that Cui Wenxiang came to find his wife, that is, his aunt, but Lu Gongzi rushed in and scolded him, and listened to the maids present say that it seemed to be for the marriage of the Qing girl." ”
Zhang Xuan took a sip of wine slowly, he really didn't understand, why did the Cui family destroy his marriage with the Lu family, an intuition told him that this was not as simple as the Cui family to vent his anger, after all, the Cui family was the first family in Hebei, and offended himself in order to vent the anger in his heart, this is not the temperament that a family should have, there must be something strange in it.
"Childe, what should we do then?" Yuan asked worriedly.
Zhang Xuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have already asked Su Xiangguo to go to Lu Mansion for me to propose marriage, in addition, I will go to see the house tomorrow, there are still many things to do, there should be news soon." ”
Ah Yuan was so happy that she almost jumped up, her pretty face smiled, "I'll go back and tell the girl the good news, God opened her eyes, the girl finally waited for this day." ”
Ah Yuan didn't want to delay for a moment, and even her favorite crispy duck with ghee didn't care about eating, so she got up and left, Zhang Xuan saw that she was anxious, so he beckoned and called a personal soldier to let him escort Ah Yuan back to Lu Mansion.
Ah Yuan left in a hurry, Zhang Xuan slowly ate a bite of Hu Cake, only to feel that there were thousands of things to do in his heart, but he didn't know where to start for a while?
