Chapter 301: The Great Cousin of Zhangfu
At the mention of this, Yuan Bao suddenly became a little embarrassed, and said with a fluttering look in his eyes: "It's not a girl from Ning Mansion." β
Yes???
Isn't it the girl from Ningfu who came to Ningfu to propose?
Yuanbao's brain was pumped for a while, and it was absolutely impossible for his father and mother to draw each other's brains together.
"Then you are planning to propose marriage to a girl from which province?"
"It's the eldest lady of Zhangfu."
Yuan Bao mentioned Miss Zhang, and his face showed yearning and nostalgia.
"I have seen her a few times in the poetry club before, but I have always felt that she is very arrogant, difficult to get close, and later met her in Zhangjiazhuang to teach the girls in the village to learn to write, she is gentle as water, especially patient, I know that she is so beautiful......"
Boy.
Yuanbao took a fancy to Zhang's cousin.
And looking at Yuanbao's emotional appearance, it is obvious that there was a story between the two.
Regarding the story between the two, Ning Wuxian wanted to gossip, but more importantly: "Yuan Gongzi, you have taken a fancy to the eldest cousin of the Zhang family, why did you come to my house if you didn't go to the Zhang Mansion to propose marriage?" β
"It's not because most of the people I interact with in the Yuan family are businessmen, and the Zhang Mansion is low-key, there are not many relatives and friends in Jinling, and the only one I know who can speak is Mr. Ning."
Yuan Bao licked his face and smiled, trying his best to flatter.
Got it.
Even if there is no monkey thing, Yuan Bao is estimated to send something else to knock on the door of Ningfu, and through his relationship, through the mouth of the second aunt, he revealed the intention of proposing marriage to Zhangfu.
The second aunt's maiden family, in fact, only belongs to the third-rate Qing noble family in Jinling, plus the eldest cousin is old in the eyes of the locals, if she marries into the Yuan family as a young lady, in the eyes of many people, it can be regarded as a high climb.
The Yuan family can directly send a matchmaker to Zhangfu to propose marriage.
Even if Zhangfu is the maiden family of the second aunt, with the Ning family being able to rise and rise, the family business of Yuanfu is also a rare good family business.
However, Yuanbao did not go directly to Zhang's Mansion, but asked his parents to come to Ning's Mansion and asked his second aunt to come forward to talk about this family matter, even if the eldest cousin of the Zhang family rejected him, the face of the two families was still there, and there would be no unfavorable words to the eldest cousin of the Zhang family.
Like picky and stuff.
After going around such a big circle to consider this matter, it can be seen that Yuan Bao attaches great importance to the eldest cousin of the Zhang family.
"Yuan Gongzi has a heart, but it's just about the marriage contract, and I really can't help."
As a person who had received a private message from the eldest cousin of the Zhang family, it was impossible for Ning Wuxian to personally facilitate this matter.
What's more, the eldest cousin of the Zhang family can withstand the rumors outside and insist that she is not married yet, so she must be a person with ideas.
He thinks that even if it is a second aunt, it is difficult to convince the eldest cousin of the Zhang family.
Yuan Bao sighed and didn't say anything more.
After a while, Ning Zhangshi walked into the hall unhurriedly, and stood up with the ingots of the empty teacup and the tea cover to float the tea leaves.
Crash!
The teacup and tea lid in his hand were all shattered to the ground.
Yuan Baobao, who has always been scared of people, became nervous, and hurriedly apologized: "Second Mrs. Ning, I'm really sorry, I'll send a set of good tea cups when I turn around." β
"No need, it's safe, Yuan Gongzi sit down."
Ning Zhang's words of reassurance, and when she walked past the place where Ning Wuxiao was seated, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked what was going on with her eyes.
In order to avoid the parents of the Yuan family coming for a while, he caught the second aunt off guard, so he used the reason of pouring tea for the second aunt, and approached and said the reason why Yuanbao invited his parents.
After Ning Zhangshi listened, he looked at the ingots who were so nervous that he picked the corner of the table, and confirmed it with his eyes.
Until Ning Wuxian nodded heavily, she smiled dumbly: "There is such a thing, I have been in Zhangjiazhuang for so many days, how can I not know that they still have such a story." β
"It doesn't have to be a story, maybe it's self-inflicted."
Ning Wuxian didn't dare to give the second aunt a preconceived idea, thinking that this was an emotional drama with the intention of a concubine.
lest the second aunt be wrong, and when she sees the parents of the Yuan family, she makes the wrong decision and says the wrong thing.
"Yes, what do you think about this?"
Ning Zhang's sudden question made Ning Wuxian a little confused.
He is a junior, and he is still separated from the Zhang family, what can he think...... Wrong.
Does the second aunt mean that she wants to match him with the eldest cousin of the Zhang family?
"Second aunt, in my heart, there is no difference between the eldest cousin of the Zhang family and the two cousins."
After he made a statement, Ning Zhangshi exhaled lightly, as if relieved and regretful: "Zhangfu is my maiden family, I have been using my mother's family to supplement my husband's family before, they know that Ningfu is hard, there is no second word, since you are fine, you regard Rou'er as a cousin, when she comes out of the cabinet, you will give her a ride as a cousin." β
ββ¦β¦β
Ning Wuxian was silent for a moment, and it wasn't until someone outside reported that the patriarch and Mrs. Yuan were coming, and he suddenly came back to his senses and nodded vigorously.
"Okay."
It seems that the second aunt also feels that the eldest cousin of the Zhang family is not suitable for him, but she still feels sorry for the eldest cousin of the Zhang family, and wants to use the prestige of the Ning family to make her stand in the Yuan Mansion.
If nothing else, this family business will be done.
He was right.
Next.
After the Yuan Master and Mrs. Yuan handed over the twenty monkeys, they opened the conversation box and began to show their sincerity.
"After gathering Miss Zhang, Yuan Bao will definitely study hard, even if he can't learn, they will definitely be able to learn when they have a child, if they can get Ning Shixian's guidance, they will definitely shine in the future."
"Also, after Miss Zhang entered, without her consent, Yuanbao will never take a concubine, if she likes to go to the poetry club to play with her, and if she wants to learn and teach in the village, these are all good deeds done by Ningfu, she is on par with Ningfu, we also support, other villages in Jinling want to run village schools, and each village will donate one hundred taels of it."
Faced with the hint that Boss Yuan wanted to borrow this relative to increase contacts with Ning Mansion.
Because of Zhang Fu's dedication, Ning Wuxian naturally nodded in affirmation.
Seeing that Yuan Bao's eyes narrowed with a smile, he pretended to be serious and said: "Actually, Yuan Gongzi has a good talent, if he is willing to learn, I am also willing to teach." β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
The patriarch with a rich face and a smile on his face, when he heard this, his face was uncharacteristically tense, and he looked at his own son who was naΓ―ve.
His son still has the talent to read?
He's been watching it for sixteen years, why didn't he see it?
Turning his mind and looking at Ning Wuxian, who was sitting opposite, he suddenly remembered that not long ago, Ning Wuxian was still a stupid straw bag who didn't know how to learn more than his son, and now he is a well-known poet immortal, who is talented in literature and talented, and his heart is hot all of a sudden.
"Ning Shixian, is this true?"
"Seriously, it's more real than real gold, if I don't have time to teach Yuan Gongzi, I can ask my eldest cousin to teach him."
Ning Wuxian looked at the ingot, who was almost shocked by his words, and asked with a smile.
"Is Yuan Gongzi willing to listen to the teachings of his eldest cousin in the future?"
