Chapter 679 77 Engagement (2)

The Feng family's mansion was originally the mansion of Ji Xuan's confidant Bao Xiaofan. Because Bao Xiaofan's mother was from Jiangnan, his mansion was built in Jiangnan style. White walls and green tiles, graceful and small, and the back house is a scene of ten steps, with winding paths leading to seclusion.

In Haocheng, apart from Ji Xuan's governor's mansion, this mansion is the only one. Feng Dajun fell in love with this house the first time he saw it, and because of this, the house was preserved and not destroyed.

Chang shi leaned on the soft couch covered with dark red brocade and fell into deep thought. Ever since she knew that the Han family intended to marry her eldest daughter to her son Zhi Ao, the Chang family had been thinking about it all the time.

Seeing this, Mama Xin couldn't help but ask, "Why is Madam so troubled?" Mama Xin used to work in an official's house. When she raided the house, Mama Xin was not as afraid of crying as other women, but comforted everyone. Feng Dajun was surprised when he saw it. After some testing, he found that this person was of good character and had some skills, so he bought her. In the past few years, with the guidance and help of Xin's mother, Chang not only managed the Fengfu in an orderly manner, but also had better communication abroad.

Chang said, "The Han family intends to marry my family. But the eldest girl of the Han family is two years older than Zhi Ao! Besides, the eldest lady of the Han family is not in good health." Except that Qi Qi is two years older than Feng Zhi Ao. , Ye Shi is also not good for fertility. In the eyes of the world, this daughter follows her mother.

Mama Xin asked, "Madam has also been to the Han family for a banquet. I wonder if you have seen this eldest girl from the Han family?" Qiqi has a very good reputation outside, and Mama Xin must have heard of it as the housekeeper of the inner courtyard of the Feng family. . I've only heard of it, but never seen him.

Chang nodded and said, "I have seen it. The child is good in every way." As far as Chang knew, many wives liked the eldest girl of the Han family and wanted to hire her back home as their daughter-in-law. It's just that Chang Shi really didn't expect that the Han family would actually choose her family, Zhi Ao.

Mama Xin thought for a while and then asked, "Madam, I don't know who fell in love with the eldest young master?"

Chang didn't think much about it: "It's the eldest master of the Han family."

These words confirmed the speculation in Mama Xin's heart: "Madam, the eldest master of the Han family has never seen the eldest young master, and he has been in Shanxi all these years, and he does not know the situation of our eldest young master. Madam, I think it should be the princess. Our eldest young master was in the picture, and then I told the eldest master of the Han family." If this is the case, even if the lady doesn't want this marriage, she can't refuse it. Otherwise, it is to swept the face of the princess.

Chang was a little hesitant: "You said this is what the princess meant? Probably not! The princess is in charge of all kinds of things, and there is no time to ask about these things." In Chang's eyes, Yuxi is someone who is busy with important things from morning to night. .

Xin's mother said: "After all, she is the niece of the direct relative, and it is normal for people to ask questions." It is not that Wang Po is selling melons and boasting, but the eldest young master is not bad in other aspects except that he looks a bit rambunctious.

Chang Shi had plans for Feng Zhi'ao's marriage, so he was troubled when he heard this.

Seeing this, Mama Xin said, "Madam, you must have asked the general about the marriage of the eldest young master. If the general does not agree, I believe that the princess will not have any idea." Mama Xin said the same thing, because she was sure My master will agree to this marriage.

Shi Chang nodded and said, "We can only wait for the master to come back." Chang Shi originally wanted Feng Zhi Ao to marry her niece. Although Feng Dajun is now prosperous, the Chang family has not. The Chang's family is currently the best, or the Chang's younger brother, and now it is a hundred households of the sixth grade. It's not that Feng Dajun didn't mention the people of the Yue family. On the contrary, Feng Dajun gave them a lot of opportunities. It's a pity that there is no one in the Chang family who can do it. The army speaks by strength, even if Feng Dajun helps each other again, it is useless. When the Chang family's sister-in-law saw that the Feng family was prosperous, she wanted to kiss her and marry her daughter to Feng Zhiao.

Chang Shi can live the life of a noble lady now because of her father's blessing.

Of course it's hard to refuse. Besides, she is her own niece, and she will not worry about her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future. However, Feng Dajun had the final say on the major affairs of the Feng family, and it was useless for her to agree. Although Feng Dajun did not object to marrying the Yue family, he was a very rational person. The eldest son is the one who wants to inherit his mantle and mantle. If the eldest brother-in-law's daughter is not well-mannered or has a bad character, then it will not only harass the son, but also harm the descendants of their Feng family. Therefore, Feng Dajun did not agree at that time, but just said that the child was too young to be in a hurry to say kiss. Also [UU Reading 00ks] Because of this reason, the two families did not decide to get married.

The next day was the twenty-eighth of the New Year, and Feng Dajun arrived at Haocheng at noon. It was snowing heavily outside the fortress, and it was impossible for Beiluo to send troops, so Feng Dajun could only come back for the New Year.

When Feng Dajun returned to Haocheng, he did not go home immediately, but first went to the palace to meet Yunqing and Yuxi. It was not until it was dark that Feng Dajun returned home.

After entering the room, Feng Dajun patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, I didn't embarrass Dad." Yun Qing had just praised Feng Zhiao, which made Feng Dajun very happy.

Feng Zhiao shook his head and said, "Compared with Shizi, I'm far behind." In the past, he only heard that Shizi was very intelligent, but only when he really had contact with her would he know how scary Shizi's aptitude and Wu xìng were. Although he was six years older than Shizi, he didn't dare to be too big.

Feng Dajun said with a smile, "You don't need to compare yourself with the eldest son." The eldest son is the dragon among men. Comparing with him is nothing but abuse. As long as he is better than the other two boys, he will be satisfied.

Feng Zhiao remembered one thing and said, "Father, there were rumors outside that the princess was doting on the second young master and the others. That's all nonsense! The princess is extremely strict with the second young master and the others, not less than the prince at all."

Feng Dajun said with a smile, "Father already knew that those were rumors, and it was someone who deliberately slandered the princess." Taking this opportunity, Feng Dajun taught his son another lesson. Let him know right from wrong, instead of being swayed by the people around him or outside rumors.

After the father and son finished talking, they returned to the backyard together. In front of several children, Chang Shi naturally wouldn't mention marriage matters. After the three children had all left, Chang asked Feng Dajun: "Master, have you promised the princess about Ao Ge'er?" Chang took it for granted that Yuxi must have mentioned this to Feng Dajun.

Feng Dajun was a little surprised and asked, "What's the matter?" Yuxi just greeted him a few words, and didn't mention anything else at all. As for Yunqing, let alone Qiqi.

Chang was very surprised and said, "Is it because the Han family wants to marry our family? Could it be that the princess didn't mention it to you?"

Feng Dajun was a little surprised and asked, "The Han family wants to marry my family? If I remember correctly, there is only one girl in the Han family, right?" That girl is the eldest daughter of Han Jianming, if the girl's identity is worthy his son.

Mrs Chang nodded and said, "Yes, she is the eldest daughter of Master Han. The second lady of the Han family came through two days ago and said that she intends to give Miss Han to my family Zhiao. I don't dare to decide this matter, I will wait. Come back and make up your mind."

Feng Dajun turned his head and asked, "How is this child?" He only knew the eldest girl of the Han family, and he didn't know anything about other circumstances.

Chang is a generous son, and will not slander other people's children just because he wants to marry his parents. Mr. Chang said, "The eldest girl from the Han family has an outstanding appearance and is generous in her conduct." After a pause, Mrs. Chang added, "The entire body of Hao City can't find a few of her bearing."

Feng Dajun was not surprised when he heard this: "The Han family is a century-old family, and the girls who are trained are naturally different." Like a princess, it is not something that ordinary people can cultivate.

Chang also agrees with this.

Feng Dajun thought for a while and said, "Since the girl from the Han family has no problem, after the New Year, send someone to the Han family to propose a marriage!" Although the Han family sent the message first, the man must take the initiative.

Chang hesitated for a while, but still expressed her worries: "The eldest lady of the Han family is not in good health, and she has only given birth to an eldest girl. This daughter is like a mother, and if the eldest girl of the Han family looks like her mother, it will not be That's right."

After hearing this, Feng Dajun hurriedly asked, "How is the health of the eldest girl of the Han family?" Hearing Chang's saying that Qiqi's health was fine, Feng Dajun felt that Chang was completely worried: "Tell me the Han family. , after the Lantern Festival, we will send a matchmaker to come to propose marriage." Since the girl is a good one, and this marriage is mutually beneficial, he would be stupid if he refused.

Chang tangled for a while and said, "Big brother wanted to give Xiaomei to Zhi Ao before! I didn't refuse at that time, I just said that I would wait until the child was older." explain.

Feng Dajun said with a cold face: "Even if there is no matter of the Han family, I will not let Zhi Ao marry her." This she naturally refers to Chang's niece Xiaomei.

Chang hurriedly asked: "Master, how do you say this?"

Feng Dajun snorted coldly: "I admire vanity and use power to bully others. If Zhi Ao marry her, it will kill Zhi Ao for the rest of his life." This alone can make up for other shortcomings.

Chang was taken aback: "Master, what's going on?" The husband and wife have known each other for more than ten years. If it wasn't for his niece doing something outrageous, he wouldn't let him say such a thing.

Feng Dajun felt that this matter should be made clear to Chang's, so as to save his wife from being deceived: "The marriage between the two families is not decided at all, but your niece pretends to be Zhi Ao's fiancée. When I went to a banquet, a girl accidentally bumped into it. When she met her, she slapped people directly. We Feng family can't bear such a person." Cui Mo and Feng Dajun grew up together since childhood. So when Cui Mo heard Tong talk about these deeds of the eldest daughter of the Chang family, he immediately wrote a letter and told Feng Dajun.

After hearing Feng Dajun's words, Chang was a little stunned: "How is this possible? I told my sister-in-law that the child was still young, and the marriage was not in a hurry, so I didn't agree to this marriage!"

Feng Dajun still trusts the Chang family very much, and the Chang family has never violated his words since they got married. Feng Dajun said, "Your sister-in-law wants to use public opinion to make this marriage a reality. At that time, you will feel sorry for your niece for worrying about her family's reputation, and even if you are reluctant, you will have to grit your teeth and recognize this marriage." The father has saved his life for him , and for this reason he kept his promise and married Chang. And over the years, he has also taken care of the Chang family a lot. It's just that people don't have enough people to swallow elephants. Seeing that the Feng family is now prosperous, the Chang family wants more. The rest are fine, but the Chang family should never have to, and shouldn't count on his son.

After a pause, Feng Dajun said, "This is related to Zhi Ao's whole life. You can't be soft-hearted." In fact, even if Chang's heart is soft-hearted, it is useless. Without his consent, the girls of the Chang family can't enter the door of the Feng family.

Although Chang Shi was angry, he still didn't lose his mind: "What did the lord say about this? Zhi Ao is the flesh that fell from my body. How could I let him be tricked by my sister-in-law?" Regarding the Han family, she would definitely agree to this marriage. On the contrary, if the niece is not good, the son must not be married. No matter how her family kisses her niece, she can still kiss her own son.

Feng Dajun said: "When the marriage with the Han family is decided, you can write to them and tell them. If they stop now, that's all. If they dare to ruin the reputation of my Feng family, don't blame me for being rude." He has grace, and the Chang Da family calculated his son like this, and he has already taken action to rectify it. Now, for the sake of the deceased master, he will not pursue it. If the Chang family doesn't know how to restrain themselves, don't blame him for being ruthless. Furthermore, the Yue family does not only have an older son.

Chang's heart froze, and he said quickly, "Don't worry, my lord, I will handle this matter." If she really waits for her husband to take action, the relationship with her parents will definitely be frozen.

Feng Dajun hummed and said nothing more. Over the years, Chang's family has also taken care of things very well, so that he has no worries. For Chang Shi, he is still at ease.

The next day, Chang invited a middleman to tell Lu Xiu the words, saying that they would invite a matchmaker to come to propose marriage after the Lantern Festival. In this regard, Lu Xiu was not surprised at all.

When Qiu found out, he said, "When the matchmaker comes to the door, I'll tell you sister-in-law!"

Lu Xiu felt that this was inappropriate, and said, "Mother, tell your sister-in-law now!" The longer this matter dragged on, the worse it would actually be.

Qiu thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I'll tell her after another year." She also wanted to have a quiet year, and didn't want to see Ye's crying.

Chinese New Year is the happiest time of the year for children, but for adults, there are endless things to do. During the whole month of the twelfth lunar month, Yuxi was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground until the thirtieth year of the lunar new year.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Yuxi sent red envelopes to several children, and when Yunqing took the four brothers to the vigil, she went to bed.

Yun Qing came back in the middle to send the triplets back to sleep. After the triplets were settled, Yun Qing went back to the house to look at Yuxi, and he didn't wake her up when he saw that Yuxi was sleeping deeply. He just stepped forward and put Oak Hee's exposed hand back under the quilt before turning back to the front yard.

Back in the front yard, I watched Brother Hao dozing off there. Yun Qing touched Brother Hao'er's head and said, "Don't hold on, there is father here, go back to sleep!"

Brother Hao shook his head and said, "Dad, tell me about your war!" Since he said he was going to watch the night with Daddy, he couldn't give up halfway.

Yun Qing knew that Brother Hao was also a stubborn son, so he didn't force him, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay."

After a while, Brother Hao fell asleep in Yun Qing's arms. Yun Qing looked at his son's quiet face, and said with a smile, "This sleeping image is very similar to your mother!" (To be continued)
