This nephew of Mrs. Zong is called Zhang Lian, and he is the grandson of her cousin. This year, he is seventeen years old and famous, and he also failed to pass the May exam, but unfortunately he didn't pass the exam. At this age, it is definitely impossible to give up and continue to take the exam.

Jiang Fangfei said: "Zhang Lian came to Beijing in September last year and lived in the Zong family for more than half a year, and the subordinates of the Zong family also spoke very well of him. said that he had a good temper and was very polite, and often went to greet Mrs. Zong. ”

"What else?"

Jiang Fangfei shook his head and said, "I just heard about this, and there will be no more." ”

Zhang Lian is not from Beijing, he is from Shanxi, and if he wants to find out his roots, he will go to Shanxi.

Qingshu asked, "What are your hobbies?" ”

Jiang Fangfei shook his head and said: "I like to eat fragrant pastries, especially osmanthus cakes, I don't know the rest." ”

Qingshu said softly: "Fragrant pastries? ”

"Girl, the Zhang family is also a big family in Linzhou, Shanxi. Zhang Lian is very wealthy, Zhang Lian is a descendant, and the food and clothing at home must be good. ”

"Anything else?"

Jiang Fangfei shook his head and said, "That's all for now." ”

Mrs. Zong really wanted to match this family business, and when she saw that the Gu family was not moving, she ran away in person.

Old Madam Gu said with a smile: "Old sister, I also want to kiss you." It's just that you also know that Qingshu is in charge of everything at home now, so she has to decide this matter. ”

She didn't think there was anything wrong with listening to Qingshu, and when the children were older, they wanted them to open their doors. And their family, Qingshu had the final say a long time ago.

Mrs. Zong said: "Sanniang, Lian'er, this child is really good, otherwise I wouldn't mention it to you." ”

"He has lived in our sect's house for more than half a year, and he comes to greet me in the morning and evening. Or I was afraid that he would delay his studies and not allow him to come, so he changed to the fifteenth day of the new year to greet me. ”

This alone made Mrs. Gu very impressed, and the children who were filial and polite were definitely not far behind.

Mrs. Zong said: "I really like An An's child, so I want to match the two of them." ”

Then, she talked about the many advantages of Zhang Lian.

After hearing this, Old Madam Gu was greatly moved, and said, "I know, I'll talk to her when Qingshu comes back." With her promise, I will call you back immediately. ”

Mrs. Zong didn't get angry, but nodded and said, "Marriage is a matter of a woman's life, so it is appropriate to be cautious." ”

After speaking, she took the initiative to change the topic: "Wanyu wrote to me that she would come to Beijing after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and said that her mother and Xiang Di would also come." You don't know how happy I am to read it! The last time she came back, it was when her father died of illness, and she hadn't seen her for several years. ”

Old Madam Gu resonated with this: "I haven't seen Xiaoxian for a year. But as long as they're doing well, we don't have to worry. ”

Mrs. Zong said with a smile: "My mother-in-law is a generous Xiang Di and she is also very good, and her son and daughter-in-law are also filial. I just miss her, and there's nothing else to worry about. ”

The Zong family has married well in this life, and he has never worried about anything other than not being able to make Mrs. Zong worried.

The two of you said a word, and after a long time, the old lady of the sect went back.

When Qingshu came back from the yamen in the evening, Mrs. Gu said to him: "Qingshu, Zhang Lian's child is outstanding in appearance, knowledgeable, and gentle. An An has a big temper and should be matched with a good temper, I think this child is very suitable. ”

Qing Shu asked in some surprise, "Grandmother, have you seen this Zhang Lian?" ”

Hearing that these were all said by Mrs. Zong, Qingshu was a little helpless: "Grandma, seeing is believing and hearing is false, how can you be sure that what she said is true if you haven't seen it?" ”

Old Madam Gu said with a bitter face: "I would like to see it, but didn't you say that you can only see it if you don't find out clearly?" ”

If she didn't have Qingshu, she didn't dare to see it. The incident last time scared Old Madam Gu, so subconsciously she didn't want to make Qingshu angry.

Qingshu couldn't cry and laughed, and said: "I just said that you can't let An An see him until you inquire clearly, you are an elder and you can see him if you want." ”

Old Madam Gu was very happy: "Okay, I'll go see the kid tomorrow." ”

Before she was sure, she didn't want An An to know about these things, so she didn't tell An An about it for the time being.

On the second day, Mrs. Gu went to Zong's house, and when she came back, she was full of praise for Zhang Lian: "Qingshu, that child is not only good-looking but also very caring, and he is also very educated. ”

Qingshu hesitated.

Old Madam Gu said: "After all, this is An An's business, let's ask her too!" ”

Qingshu hesitated but agreed.

After An An knew this, she blushed and said, "Grandma, I want to see you first and then talk about it." ”

The main thing is that Zhang Lian fully meets her conditions, so it makes her a little excited.

Qingshu didn't say anything.

Seeing this, An An asked, "Sister, what's wrong?" What other doubts do you have? ”

Qingshu said: "We don't know anything about his situation in Shanxi, just based on the evaluation of the Zong family and his performance, I am not very relieved. ”

Old Madam Gu said: "The two families have been friends for so many years, and Old Madam Zong will not coax us. ”

Qingshu shook his head and said, "I believe this." Mrs. Zong must have thought that Zhang Lian was good, so she wanted to match him with An An. Just a chain? What he wants to show is pretending, what will he do then? ”

"Then you can't send someone to Shanxi to find out his details? But that's too time-consuming. Old Madam Gu said: "Let An An meet with Zhang Lian first, and if you feel good, you can send someone to inquire." ”

An An was reluctant: "Grandma, if I see him, I think he is good." When the time comes, if the problem is found out, won't I be happy in vain? ”

Old Madam Gu was a little irritable: "This can't be done, that's not possible, do you want me to refuse tomorrow?" ”

Qingshu thought for a while and said, "Grandma, this matter is actually easy to do. Let Jing Ene find him to have a meal and chat with him, and his temperament will probably be clear. ”

"What if Jing Ene says yes?"

Qingshu smiled and said, "Jing Ene thinks it's good, then it's definitely no problem." In terms of looking at people, Jingene is much better than me. ”

Old Madam Gu said, "That's okay, I'll go to Zong's house tomorrow to say something." ”

An An shook his head and said, "Zhang Lian knows that he will be on guard. Only by taking it by surprise can we know what he really thinks in his heart. ”

Qingshu was very happy to see her so calm, it seems that all these years of teaching have not been in vain. You must remain calm in major life events, otherwise an accidental ruin will be the rest of your life.

Old Madam Gu felt that this was also reasonable: "Then you let Jing Ene arrange it quickly, and I will also reply to the Zong family earlier." ”

Whether they agreed or refused, they had to reply to the Zong family earlier.

Qingshu nodded and said, "I'll write a letter to him now." ”

Fu Jingene has already gone to the Hanlin Academy on an errand, so now he no longer has any scruples about asking him to help with things.
