Chapter 555 Yan Zhenzhen and Zhen Zi become a better match.
When Zimo and Luo Mei came back, they first kowtowed to the old lady and madam to express their thanks, and then went to Chu Garden to drink a bowl of sugar water. The couple went back again, refusing to stay for dinner.
Before leaving, Luo Mei also told Chu Chu: After Laba, they would cook porridge in the house, burn incense to comfort their ancestors, and then move back. Seeing their persistence, Chu Chu didn't stop them anymore.
Anyway, there is their small courtyard in the back, and they will have to clean it up for a few days when they come back. I just don't arrange for them to be on duty before the year is over.
Because Xiyue was pregnant and it was difficult for her to move around, the Yan family decided to make do with her, and finally decided to go back to the capital to celebrate the New Year.
This year Yan Qinghua also sent a letter back in advance, saying that he would return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year with everyone this year. He said that he would set off from Qingzhou on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month. He just went with Grandma Chen and Dudu first. He wanted to go back to Qingliu County to pay homage to his ancestors before staying there. A few days, and then return to Beijing with the group from Taohua Village.
It was also said that my uncle could not seal the seal until the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and then return directly to the capital to join them.
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, after knowing that all the family members in Taohua Village had arrived in the capital, Chu Chu went back to Yan Mansion, planning to stay for two nights and wait until the morning of New Year's Eve to come back and go to the palace banquet with her parents.
Unexpectedly, he got two shocking news from Yan Mansion.
First, Yan Zhenzhen got engaged, and the person who made the engagement, Chu Chu, had never expected it and almost couldn’t remember it.
That person was the one they met in Yulong River last year. Chu Chu said he was a scholar with a little pink cloud on his head, and his name was Zhen Ziyue.
Zhen Ziyue was still a child. Due to his poor family and some changes at home, he was delayed for two years. He planned to take the government examination next year. There was only a widowed mother and a younger sister in the family.
Thanks to Chen Jichang's help, he received a student aid from the county government. Chen Jichang would visit him every time he passed by Jingxian County, care about his study situation, give him some advice, and bring him a lot of books. , and occasionally some academic rituals are included.
His family had little land, and his mother and sister couldn't do heavy work. Chen Jichang also introduced Zhen's mother and his sister to his family's industry in Jing County to find jobs: one worked in a winery and the other grew mushrooms, which improved their lives. Quite a few.
The Zhen family was grateful. Before Yan Qinghua and Grandma Chen returned to Qingliu County, the Zhen family's mother took advantage of the opportunity to go to the city to sell local products. The family came to the door with a souvenir to express their gratitude. Grandma Chen invited them to stay for a light meal.
Yan Qinghua saw that Zhen Zi was more and more beautiful and elegant, and he looked like an honest and kind-hearted child.
Zhen's mother was also reasonable. From the words and deeds of their brothers and sisters, she knew that their family education was excellent, and she couldn't help but think of her unmarried niece at home.
Unexpectedly, after discussing it with her mother-in-law, Grandma Chen agreed. After a meal, Grandma Chen felt that Mother Zhen was kind and generous, but her temper was a bit soft. She would not be harsh on her children just because she was a widowed mother. She was easy to get along with, and she knew what she said. She gets along fairly well with her neighbors and has a similar temperament to herself.
Therefore, I think Yan Zhenzhen, who knows how to run a household and earn money, and has a character that refuses to admit defeat, is a good fit for this family.
With the two of them feeling this way, Grandma Chen asked Zhen's mother a few words and started to act as a matchmaker.
Zhen's mother was a little hesitant at first. The family was originally in awe of Mr. Chen and felt that her son was not worthy of his niece. She was even more ashamed of her family's situation. However, they heard that Yan Zhenzhen was tall and good-looking. , whose temperament is similar to that of Yan Qinghua, is also able to withstand troubles, and feels that being married to her is a blessing to her family, so she is in a state of ups and downs.
Grandma Chen even praised her daughter-in-law, saying that she was the lucky star of the family. By the way, Yan Zhenzhen was also a lucky person, and her temperament and appearance were no worse than Yan Qinghua.
Zhen's mother felt that marrying such a daughter-in-law was a high achievement, and she would not let her neighbors bully her in the future, so she couldn't help but feel moved.
My family background is a bit poor, but my son is up to par, and my master has said that there is no problem in continuing to take the exam. Even if he fails to pass the exam in the future, there is still no problem in becoming a scholar. At least he is not in vain to make his daughter suffer.
Although Zhen Ziyue was not able to sit at the same table with them when eating, he saw that Mrs. Chen was so clever and clever in dealing with others, so he began to look forward to Yan Zhenzhen.
After the three of them went home and discussed it as a family, they all silently accepted the marriage in their hearts.
So knowing that Grandma Chen and Mrs. Chen were going back to Qingliu County for the New Year, Mother Zhen simply took her daughter to Taohua Village to propose marriage.
After returning to Qingliu County, he stayed at Grandma Chen's house for one night. Yan Zhenzhen was naturally very happy to know that Grandma Chen and her little aunt were back.
I had helped them clean the house a long time ago so that they could live in it. Early the next morning, I came over with the account book to reconcile the accounts with Grandma Chen. When Grandma Chen went to Qingzhou, she specially entrusted the shop to Yan. Zhen Zhen helped take care of it, and the money she earned was no less than when she took care of it herself.
Before confessing to Yan Zhenzhen, Zhen's mother noticed that the more she looked at her, the more she liked her. The sister of the Zhen family was also taken out for a tour by Yan Zhenzhen. When she came back, she told her mother that this sister-in-law was nice, straightforward and personable. Generous, she likes it.
Yan Zhenzhen later heard what happened when the Zhen family came, and she was so shy that she never dared to show her face again.
But I heard that it was Fubao, my brother-in-law, Grandma Chen, my aunt... so many people were interested in this person. Yan Qinghua and Grandma Chen told her about Zhen Ziyue's appearance and figure in detail, and also She said that her brother-in-law thought he had a future in his studies, so she naturally nodded her head shyly and agreed.
So Grandma Chen went to the government office again to talk to her grandfather first. Yan Zhe had heard what Fu Bao had said from Grandma Yan early in the morning, and felt that the person her eldest granddaughter would marry would also be an official in the future. Naturally, Satisfied, he asked the Yamen servant to send a message to Yan Yongan and Yan Zhang to come directly.
Mrs. Yan Zhang was worried about her daughter's marriage. Yan Zhenzhen was already fifteen, so it would be too late for her to get married after another year.
But this child has a big heart. When people come to her door to do business, she thinks they haven't read, so she refuses.
I also met two scholars. One thought he was short, and the other said he was stupid in studying and failed.
It was strange for Yan Zhenzhen. She didn't believe her mother's boasts, but as soon as Grandma Chen and Yan Qinghua told her, she nodded in agreement and said she believed them, as well as Fubao and her brother-in-law. Judgment, knowing that grandpa and grandma both agree, I feel that he is a good match for me.
So in three days, the Zhen family proposed marriage, accepted the lottery, went through the procedures, and agreed to get married after the government examination next year.
After all this was done, it was the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, and there happened to be a caravan returning to Qingzhou County, so Yan Zheqing arranged for the Zhen family's mother and daughter to follow them back.
