"Don't worry, we won't be out." Du Fangling hurriedly assured.

She has the most active mind and courage. If she had said this before, she might not have taken it seriously. But since she was almost sold by Du Yunnian, every time she thinks of the tragic experience of those girls who were sold, she is afraid for a while. So she completely listened to Chen's words.

Du Fangfei and Du Fanghui also nodded.

Both of them are honest, they only work blindly, and rarely think about everything. I usually don't go out when I have nothing to do, let alone Chen's beating.

Seeing that the three daughters had listened to this, Chen was relieved.

In the evening, Du Jinning came back with Xu Chengyuan, and Chen didn't mention it. It wasn't until the mother and son of the Xu family left that she told Du Jinning about the matter and asked, "Who do you say it will be?" ”

Du Jinning thought about the time when Sister-in-law Yang said that she met Mrs. Song for the first time, and had some kind of guess in her heart.

"It could be the Yan family." She said, "This time they lost to the mountain chief because of me, and they must want to get back from me again." ”

"How do you find it? What does it have to do with your eldest sister? Chen asked nervously.

People like them, compared with the Yan family, are like ants, let others handle them.

Du Jinning hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, they don't dare to do anything to us." After all, there is still a family, and Qi Muyuan's grandfather is something they dare not provoke. At most, they make some small tricks, such as making a fuss about the eldest sister's marriage. ”

"How do you do an article?" Chen Shi was not comforted, and became more and more anxious, patting the table and saying, "That dead girl, what a good family affair the Xu family has, why is she unwilling?" I don't know what she thinks. If you are engaged to the Xu family, are you still afraid that the Yan family will make trouble? Saying that, she stood up, "No, I'll go to your Aunt Xu now and discuss with her about the engagement of the two families." The words of the matchmaker of the parents' order, this matter is not the turn of the dead girl to make her own decisions. ”

"It's okay to be engaged." Du Jinning nodded.

Originally, the marriage was free, Du Fangfei was unwilling at the beginning, even if she thought that the Xu family's mother and son were good, she did not force Du Fangfei. Between people, it depends on fate, fate has not arrived, and it is not beautiful to force nature.

But according to her observations in the past two days, Du Fangfei is not without a heart for Xu Chengyuan, and Xu Chengyuan's heart for Du Fangfei is even more obvious, which shows that both parties are intentional. If there is no such thing as the Yan family, it is not impossible for them to be successful. But with the intervention of the Yan family, it is better to get engaged earlier, so as not to cause extraneous branches.

Seeing that the Chen family was going out, Du Jinning hurriedly grabbed her: "It's not bad at this time, tomorrow, Aunt Xu will come tomorrow, and you can tell her about it again." Let's talk about this now, but it makes their mother and son suspicious. By tomorrow, you only said that after getting along for the past two days, you think Xu Chengyuan is good, so after thinking about it, you decided to agree to this family business. Don't mention anything else. ”

Chen calmed down and nodded: "That's good." ”

"As long as you don't go out and don't promise anything to others, you'll be fine." Du Jinning said soothingly.

"I see."

……

Let's talk about Mrs. Song, after going back, she told Yan Cen about the situation.

Yan Cen was immediately annoyed, and felt that Mrs. Song was not doing well: "If you don't go, will you ask others again?" If she really doesn't go out, you can think of a way, such as bribing someone and letting her coax the eldest sister of the Du family out. ”

"Ah, Young Master Yan, what you said is light." Mrs. Song had eaten the cold wind for several days, if it weren't for the fact that she was in the face of the silver, she would have stopped doing it a long time ago, and when she saw Yan Cen still like this, she would not be polite, "You don't know how vigilant the people in the Zhuangzi are." I inquired a little about Sister Du's whereabouts, and those people looked at me wrongly, as if I was a human trafficker. If I hadn't been alert and stopped in time, I am afraid that I would have been caught in the yamen at this time. ”

Yan Cen was so anxious that he couldn't sit still, so he got up and walked back and forth in the room a few times, and said, "Then what should I do?" ”

Mrs. Song didn't know about the grievances between Yan Cen and Du Jinning, in her opinion, this matter was very simple, and she said: "Actually, with Young Master Yan's conditions, as long as you go to the door to propose marriage, then the Du family will not agree." Even if I don't agree for a while, I'll go to his house and walk around, and persuade him a lot, right? We are like a headless fly now, with nowhere to speak, but people don't know anything about us, won't things freeze and can't be done? ”

Seeing that Yan Cen hesitated and didn't make a sound, she said again: "Besides, Sister Nadu is outstanding in appearance and not young, and it is the time to discuss marriage." Young Master Yan, if you drag it out like this, maybe the other end will be engaged. ”

Yan Cen couldn't either. He can't ask someone to go to the Du family to tie up the eldest sister of the Du family, right? It doesn't work out any other way. For the errand of an academy, he didn't want to do things to the end, so that the Guan family couldn't bear it anymore and ruined his future. When the time comes, Yan Songtao will not protect him.

"Okay, you go and propose." He gritted his teeth, "However, don't talk about my name first, just say that because I am the gentleman of the academy, it is inconvenient to reveal my name first, after all, the Du family Xiaolang is studying in the academy, and if the marriage fails, it will be embarrassing for teachers and students to meet." If they wish, it's not too late to say the name. ”

"Uh, isn't that okay?" Mrs. Song felt that it was inappropriate. Which mother, without even mentioning the name of a relative, will agree to the family affair? Unless that's the stepmother. Anyway, if it were her, she wouldn't have accepted this family affair.

Yan Cen had to explain: "Du Xiaolang is studying in the academy, and I am his discipline teacher. The boy was mischievous, and I scolded him a few times for that. I'm afraid that he will hate me and ruin my good deeds. ”

"I see." Mrs. Song was immediately relieved, "Okay, I'll go to Du's house early tomorrow morning, and I'll help you mention it first and see the situation." ”

Yan Cen looked at Tianshi: "It's only noon now, why don't you go now?" ”

Mrs. Song walked a trip, she was very tired, and she didn't want to move when she sat down.

She waved her hand and said, "You don't know, there is a woman in the city, and I don't know if she goes to the Du family to help or what, she will go to the Du family every afternoon until she goes home after dark." It is always inappropriate to have outsiders in this kind of thing, so it is better to wait for tomorrow morning, when the Du family is empty, and then go again, so it is much more relaxed to talk in time. ”

Yan Cen thought about it and made sense, so he made a gesture to Mrs. Song: "So it's all up to Mrs. Song." ”

Afraid that Mrs. Song would not do her best, he said again: "If Mrs. Song can help me with this family matter, in addition to the five taels of silver promised before, I will promise two more taels." ”

Mrs. Song suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best." ”

She said goodbye to others, and if she could get a thank you gift of one or two silver, it was already rich, Yan Cen had more than seven taels of thank you gifts here at once, and she would grit her teeth and get things done.
