Chapter Ninety-Nine
Fu Linglan stopped and asked, "Father, what do you have to say to me?" β
Fu Wenxuan threw him a picture scroll and said, "This is your fiancΓ©, your marriage has been decided." β
Fu Linglan opened it and saw that she didn't recognize the person on the painting, and asked, "Who is this?" β
Fu Wenxuan said: "He is Chen Yanzhi, a hot young talent in the DPRK and China, and it took me a lot of effort to get this marriage done." β
Fu Linglan said: "Father, why didn't you discuss such an important matter with me, how did you know that I would definitely be willing to marry Chen Yanzhi." β
Fu Wenxuan was surprised, Fu Linglan has always obeyed Fu Wenxuan: "Why don't you want to, aren't your parents in charge of all major marriage matters?" β
Fu Linglan said angrily: "Father, you don't know what Chen Yanzhi is like, you can't just marry me to him so hastily." β
Fu Wenxuan asked: "Chen Yanzhi's personality is even praised by His Majesty, why don't you look down on him?" β
Fu Linglan blurted out without thinking: "Your Majesty's vision is not always so accurate. β
Fu Wenxuan's face changed, and he reprimanded Fu Linglan and said, "You are just messing around, how can Your Majesty allow you to question it." β
Fu Linglan knew that she had made a mistake, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.
Fu Wenxuan said: "You are not allowed to go out today, reflect at home." β
After Fu Wenxuan finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left, Fu Linglan felt very aggrieved. The maid Chunhua followed Fu Linglan back to the room.
Fu Linglan fidgeted, walked around the room, and said: "Father's opinion is too hasty, Chen Yan's family is so dislike the poor and love the rich, how can such a person marry him." β
Although Fu Linglan doesn't like Chu Li, in Chu Lan's description, Chen Yanzhi is like an unmarried Chen Shimei.
Fu Linglan was convinced of this, but Chu Liang and Chen Yanzhi's divorce was handled by Chen Feng, and Chen Yanzhi did not object, which made Fu Linglan even more sure that this was Chen Yanzhi's original intention.
Fu Linglan said to herself: "No, my life will be over if I marry Chen Yan, and I can't marry him." β
Chunhua said: "Madame hasn't come back yet, Miss should not wait for Madame to come back and beg Madame." β
Fu Linglan's mother, Mrs. Dong, has always been careless, and Fu Wenxuan is in charge of all major and small matters in the family.
Fu Linglan said: "You can't look for my mother, my mother listens to my father for everything, and it will be troublesome for her to go back and tell her father." β
Chunhua said: "Then do you want to ask the eldest prince's opinion." β
Fu Linglan knocked Chunlan's head and said, "Are you stupid, my brother is outside the plug, how can I go to find him." β
Chunhua said: "The eldest prince has not married yet, why did the lord set your family affairs for Miss?" β
Fu Linglan suddenly realized and said: "This is just a temporary decision, my brother doesn't know when he will come back, I heard that Chen Yanzhi is quite old, he definitely can't wait." β
Chunhua said: "Miss, don't be happy too early, Chen Yanzhi may be willing to wait." β
Fu Linglan glanced at her with slanted eyes and said, "Don't be a crow's mouth, if he is willing to wait, then you can marry him instead of me." β
Chunhua waved her hand in fright and said, "Miss, this is ridiculous, the old lady knows that she will expose my skin." β
Fu Linglan put her arm around Chunhua and said, "Don't be afraid, there is Miss Ben covering you." β
Chunhua said: "Miss, it's good that you don't cover me, but as soon as you cover me, I am even more scared." β
Fu Linglan's strength increased, and Chunhua said, "Miss can cover me, I am grateful." β
Fu Linglan let go of Chunhua and said, "In the past few days, you have to go to the master's residence more often, ask the maid who serves the master, and see if you can ask for any fame." β
After Chen Feng finished waiting for the guests to leave, he took a painting and went to find Chen Yanzhi.
Chen Yanzhi was reading a book in the room, Chen Feng knocked on the door, Chen Yanzhi put down the book, and said, "What is the reason why my father came?" β
Chen Feng said straight to the point: "I have already decided on your family affairs, she is the girl of the Fu Yushi family, she is beautiful and knowledgeable. β
Chen Yanyi didn't pay attention to the woman, he knew Fu Wenxuan, but he didn't say much.
Chen Feng handed Fu Linglan's portrait to Chen Yanzhi, who opened it and took a look.
Chen Feng asked, "How is it?" β
Chen Yanzhi said: "It's beautiful. β
Chen Feng said: "If you are satisfied, I will go to Fu Yushi's house to discuss the marriage date and other matters." β
Chen Yanzhi said: "But it's up to my father's arrangement. After Chen Yanzhi finished speaking, he added: "But don't be in such a hurry." β
Chen Feng said: "What do you mean don't worry, how old are you now, you must get married within this year." β
Chen Yanzhi said: "Everything is arranged by my father. β
Chen Feng left, and Chen Yanzhi held the book on his face with a headache.
Chen Feng has no intention of continuing when he is over fifty, he spends all his time on Chen Yanzhi.
Chen Yanzhi intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that he asked Chen Feng not to care about him so much, but Chen Feng was unmoved.
Jiang Yingyue finished breakfast, cleaned up the house, said hello to Zhao Zhong and his wife, and went out.
Jiang Yingyue held the wooden box and went to a nearby pawnshop at random.
The shopkeeper of the pawnshop looked at Jiang Yingyue's silver hairpin, took it to his eyes and took a closer look, and said: "There were a lot of styles of these hairpins before, but now there are not many of them, and you are not pure silver, but also mixed with other things, if it is pure silver, it will be very valuable." β
Jiang Yingyue would not bargain with anyone, she asked, "Then how much do you say these four silver hairpins are worth?" β
The shopkeeper stretched out a finger, Jiang Yingyue was incredulous: "So low? If I had to find a silversmith to re-refine it, it wouldn't be more than that. β
The shopkeeper said: "Then you can go to the silversmith, girl, you still haven't heard clearly, your hairpin is not pure silver, it's useless to find a silversmith, at most you can refine two coins of silver, how much is left after deducting the salary?" β
Jiang Yingyue hugged the wooden box and said, "I'm here to ask, and I'm not short of these money." β
Jiang Yingyue left with the wooden box, this hairpin was originally given to Jiang Yingyue by a noble son who admired him.
Jiang Yingyue was unwilling to accept it, and the noble son insisted on giving it to her. The two sides were at a stalemate, and in the end, Haitang accepted it for Jiang Yingyue.
Jiang Yingyue thought to herself: "This son fooled me at the beginning, and said that he built it with a lot of money, and the money was given to the craftsmen." β
Jiang Yingyue was walking with her head down, and accidentally bumped into a person in front of her.
Jiang Yingyue didn't raise her head and said, "I'm sorry." After Jiang Yingyue finished speaking, she was ready to continue walking.
The person who was hit grabbed Jiang Yingyue and said, "Your apology is too perfunctory, and you have no sincerity at all." β
Jiang Yingyue held the wooden box in one hand and didn't hold it tightly, and suddenly fell to the ground.
She looked back and found that it was Xie Zhiling.
Jiang Yingyue said: "You let go of me first." β
Xie Zhiling saw that people on the street were looking at them.
Xie Zhiling let go of Jiang Yingyue's hand, Jiang Yingyue squatted down and picked up the hairpins one by one.
