Chapter 1158, Redemption 9 (end of book)

Zhang Huahan just lived in Yan's family. Yan Wenjie's family treated her very well, except that she was a little uncomfortable at first, but gradually, she also integrated into this family.

It's just that Zhang Huahan gets a little distracted every time he sees the happy uncle's family, uncontrollably thinking of his mother who is alone and without company.

As time goes by, there will be more thoughts and concerns in my heart, and at the same time some sorrows will arise.

In Zhang's family, her mother and her are undoubtedly excluded. If she gets married in the future, no one will really talk to her mother.

In the days after ??, Zhu Qiyun not only took Zhang Huahan out to be a guest and received guests at home, but also taught her how to host the Central Feed.

Zhang Huahan cherishes this kind of learning opportunity, so he learns with extra effort and concentration.

The teacher always likes students who love to learn. Seeing Zhang Huahan being so serious, Zhu Qiyun taught him more carefully.

Time is so busy, it slips away a little bit, and in a blink of an eye it will be September. . .

On September 13th, Zhu Qiyun's birthday, Zhu Qiyun invited all the people who could be invited and held a grand wedding ceremony for her.

Her parents did not arrive at the wedding ceremony. Zhang Huahan was somewhat regretful, but she also knew that her aunt had put a lot of effort into the wedding ceremony. While full of gratitude, she was highly focused throughout the whole process and tried her best not to make a single mistake.

After more than two months of training by Zhu Qiyun, Zhang Huahan became more stable and decent, which made many ladies who came to watch the ceremony moved to marry.

The Zhang family is not very good, but the Yan family is amazing.

Looking at the chief envoy's wife, she brought this lady Zhang everywhere to see guests, and she held the wedding ceremony in person, no doubt telling everyone that the Yan family attached great importance to this niece.

is aimed at this point, and you will not lose money if you marry and go home.

figured this out, and some ladies began to take the initiative to pull Zhang Huahan to speak, very enthusiastic.

Zhang Huahan understands that it is not her that these people value, but the Yan family behind her, so she just responded politely and rudely, not because she was praised and praised by everyone.

Zhu Qiyun took all this into consideration, was very satisfied with Zhang Huahan's response, and liked this niece more and more in her heart.

After ?? and the wedding ceremony, Zhu Qiyun found a time to call Zhang Huahan to him: "Huahan, after the girl meets the wedding ceremony, you can discuss the marriage. Do you have any thoughts on your marriage?"

Zhang Huahan's expression was slightly stagnant, she obviously did not expect Zhu Qiyun to tell her about marriage so straightforwardly.

Seeing Zhang Huahan's face turning red, Zhu Qiyun smiled: "What's the embarrassment for a man to marry a woman to marry?"

Zhang Huahan bowed his head shyly, and didn't have the embarrassment to talk about his marriage.

Zhu Qiyun saw it, thought for a while, and said, "It stands to reason that your parents should be concerned about your marriage, but your mother hasn't been walking around in these years, and she doesn't know many people; as for your father, it's estimated that you have some friends. Merchant family, if you really hand over your marriage to them, even your uncle will not agree if you don't tell me."

said and took Zhang Huahan's hand.

"Discussing relatives is the top priority of a girl's family. If you decide on a good family, you can enjoy happiness for a lifetime. If you talk about a bad family, you will have to suffer a lifetime of sins, and eventually your children will be affected."

"So, this marriage should not be sloppy at all."

"Your mother asked you to come to the provincial capital. Your father acquiesced that you live at home. You should know what they mean when you come, and what about your uncle. We will help you look after your marriage."

"Now my aunt is asking you, what kind of person do you want to spend your life with? Now that you know what you like, your aunt can also look for it."

Zhang Huahan's cheeks were red, he hesitated for a while, and then said as finely as a mosquito: "Huahan listens to everything from aunt and uncle."

Zhu Qiyun shook her head in disapproval: "This day is for you to live by yourself. You have to be in harmony with the beauty. If you don't say anything, we will find it all right."

Zhang Huahan looked a little hesitant. Just when Zhu Qiyun thought she wouldn't say anything, she said, "Huahan wants to stay in Huai'an, it's better to stay closer to Qingshi County."

Zhu Qiyun was stunned for a moment: "Why? Restricting the region, the scope of this choice can be narrowed a lot at once. Today's officials serve three-year terms, like those with great prospects, they will not stay in one place forever."

Zhang Huahan was silent: "My mother is alone in Zhang's house. She is too lonely. If I marry closer, I can go back to see her often."

Zhu Qiyun paused for a moment after hearing this, then a smile appeared in her eyes and face, and smiled and took Zhang Huahan's hand: "Good boy, your mother is lucky to have your daughter."

Moved by Zhang Huahan's filial piety, Zhu Qiyun became more and more interested in her marriage: "Don't worry, my aunt will help you find a good family."

After a period of time, Zhu Qiyun often took Zhang Huahan out as a guest, and met many officials and family members. Every time they met, they could meet a few wives with their sons.

Zhang Huahan knew that the relationship between officialdom was complicated and worried about causing trouble to his uncle's family.

In mid-October, Zhu Qiyun came to Zhang Huahan with three portraits.

"These three sons, one is the eldest son of the Sipin prefect family, the other is the second son of the political envoy Sipin's political family, and the last is the youngest son of the Xuzhou Fan family."

"The ancestral home of these three families is in Huai'an. The three sons were all taught by your uncle, and they are of good character. Their mothers, I have also brought you to meet them before, and they are all sensible people."

"I also sent people to inquire about the family style of the three families in private, and the comments were not bad."

"It just so happened that your two cousins ??called all three of them to the mansion to be guests. You should take a look at their situation first, and then your aunt will take you to the front yard to see people."

Zhang Huahan suppressed the tension in his heart and carefully looked at the portraits and notes of the three.

After she was optimistic, Zhu Qiyun took her to the front yard.

The weather in October is already very cold. In the pavilion in the front yard, three young masters and two cousins ??are roasting venison and eating. Several people are talking and laughing, and the atmosphere is very lively.

Zhu Qiyun and Zhang Huahan stood under the veranda not far away and watched.

After watching for a while, Zhu Qiyun asked, "What do you think of these three young masters?"

Zhang Huahan didn't answer immediately, Zhu Qiyun thought she didn't like it and said with a smile: "It's okay, if you don't like these three, let's look at the others."

Zhang Huahan hurriedly shook his head, his face a little shy: "It's natural that people who are favored by aunts and uncles are good."

Zhu Qiyun took a closer look at Zhang Huahan's expression, and seeing that there was no reluctance on her face, she smiled and said, "But I can't see anything at a glance from such a distance, find a chance, my aunt will let you get in touch with them, and then the time will come. Take a closer look."

After half a month, the three sons were often invited to Yan's house as guests.

The three of them were all delighted that they could be appreciated by the governor, even the elders in their family were also very happy.

At first, the three of them didn't notice anything, but they went to Yan's house many times. After encountering Zhang Huahan in the yard, the three of them vaguely understood something.

In this regard, the reactions of the three were different.

The eldest son of Guo Zhifu's family, even if he knew that Zhang Huahan stood behind the Yan family, he did not want his first wife to come from a merchant's family.

Therefore, every time I come to Yan's house, I try to avoid Zhang Huahan as much as possible, and I never leave alone.

The son of Yang Canzheng's family is more active. The Yang family only got up in Yang Canzheng's generation, and the background is thin, and there are not many contacts in the official circles.

Yang Canzheng has served three consecutive terms in Huai'an, and he has always wanted to go further, or be transferred to the capital, but unfortunately, there is no one above, and he has stayed in the position of participating in politics and has not moved.

Knowing that the Yan family was looking at their nephew and son-in-law, the whole Yang family wanted to get married.

Therefore, every time Young Master Yang came to Yan's house, he would walk around the courtyard alone, thinking about meeting Zhang Huahan by chance.

Unfortunately, Zhang Huahan has always kept the rules and etiquette in mind, and never wandered around in the backyard of Yan's house.

The son of the Fan family is more Buddhist. He is the youngest in the family, and he has two brothers who are directly related to him. The pressure on his shoulders is not heavy. Now the family's requirement for him is to study hard and try to take the test as soon as possible. Lift people.

He didn't expect ?? to be in the eyes of the envoy. As for the niece who married the Yan family, he thought, after all, the Yue family, who was helpful, was good for him and the Fan family.

The girl Zhang he had met once, standing generously and decently behind Mrs. Yan, she looked very gentle and virtuous, which was in line with his prediction of his wife.

However, he did not have too much expectations. Although there were officials from the Fan family who entered the court, most of them were below the fifth rank. In this respect, Guo and Yang were a bit more qualified than him.

So, among the three, Young Master Fan was the most calm and calm.

In such a comparison, it compares the other two.

At the beginning of November, the three of them were invited to the Yan residence by the two sons of the Yan family.

"Today, the manor has called a theatre troupe, let's go, let's go to the theatre."

When the three of them came to the theater with Uncle Yan and Erye, the play had already started.

Young Master Yang took a look at the theater. He didn't see Zhang Huahan. He was slightly disappointed, but he quickly smiled and said, "Who ordered this?"

Young Master Fan waited for the uncles of the Yan family and the second masters to sit down, and then sat down with them, then smiled: "Whoever ordered it, since the singing has already started, let's just listen to it."

After several people were seated, the Yan family uncle and the second master calmly guided the three to discuss the scene on stage.

Young Master Yang: "If you want me to say, this woman deserves to be beaten. Since she is married to her husband's family, then she is a member of her husband's family, and she has been thinking about her parents' family. How could her husband not be angry?"

Mr. Guo: "Even if there is something wrong with a woman, a man shouldn't do anything to a woman, it's too insulting."

Fan Gongzi: "Isn't it right to remember her parents' family? That's the family who gave birth to her and raised her."

Young Master Yang sneered and looked at Young Master Fan: "Brother Fan, if your future daughter-in-law always thinks about her parents' family, I don't believe you can still be as indifferent as you are now."

Young Master Fan was not annoyed by his attitude, he smiled and said, "Why not? If my future wife is a person of utmost filial piety, that would still be my blessing."

In the wing of the theater, Zhang Huahan stood in front of the window, looked at the young master Fan carefully through the crack of the window, silently listened to the discussions of several people, and only quietly left through the back door after listening to the three scenes.

After coming out of the theater, Zhang Huahan went straight to the main courtyard to see Zhu Qiyun.

Zhu Qiyun was a little surprised when she saw her coming back so soon: "Why did you come back so soon, and you didn't say more about it? With your two cousins ??here, you just stay in the theater all the time, it's nothing."

Zhang Huahan begged her to invite her for today's troupe. Although she didn't understand what medicine was sold in her niece's gourd, she rarely opened her mouth, and it was not a big deal, so she did not refuse.

Zhang Huahan's cheeks were a little red, and he lowered his head slightly, and whispered: "Auntie, I'm optimistic, that Mr. Fan, it looks good."

Zhu Qiyun looked surprised. Among the three, the son of the Fan family had the least prominent family background, and his appearance was not the most handsome: "Why do you like him? You don't think that the Fan family is the closest to Qingshi County, so you chose him. ?"

said, showing disapproval.

"Good boy, my aunt knows that you are filial, but this is a matter of your life. You can't choose to be careful just because the Fan family is close."

Zhang Huahan smiled and hugged Zhu Qiyun's arm. After getting along for a while, she was no longer alienated from this aunt who taught her wholeheartedly and planned for her.

"Auntie, I really think Mr. Fan is pretty good."

"The other two sons are also good, but their family background is too good for me."

"I know that my uncle and aunt are supporting me, and they are willing to marry me, but the conditions of the Zhang family are there after all. Even if I marry into their family, it is estimated that people will despise me."

"The Fan family is very good. It is a family from Xuzhou. Although there are people in the family, the official positions are not very high. Although they are also high, they are not too high."

"In this way, I don't have to have too much burden in my heart, and I won't feel too unworthy of Young Master Fan. With no burden in my heart, I won't be too tired."

Zhu Qiyun looked at Zhang Huahan with a sigh: "If your mother was as transparent as you back then, why would she marry into the Zhang family!"

"It's very cold at the heights, and the nobles from the high gate look like scenery from the outside, but they don't have any real skills. When they marry into the high gate and become a daughter-in-law, the one who suffers in the end is themselves."

"Good boy, since you think Mr. Fan's family is good, then I'll go and find out about the situation of the Fan family. With your uncle, I will also test and teach Mr. Fan's character."

Zhang Huahan was deeply blessed: "Huahan is deeply grateful to my uncle and aunt for their love."

In the evening, after Yan Wenjie went to office, Zhu Qiyun told him about Zhang Huahan's choice.

After hearing this, Yan Wenjie was silent for a while: "Since it is Hua Han's choice, we will respect her decision. However, we must inquire about the situation of the Fan family. If it is not good, we will ask her for another."

Zhu Qiyun nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely inquire."

At the end of November, after nearly a month of inquiries, the Fan family was investigated by the Yan family, and it was determined that Mrs. Fan was not someone who treated her daughter-in-law harshly. Take it easy.

After ?? inquired about the situation of the Fan family, Zhu Qiyun revealed to the Fan family.

The third son of Fan and the Fan family were a little surprised when they learned that Zhang Huahan had taken a fancy to him.

You must know that among the three people that the Yan family looks at most, Mr. Guo has the best family background. Mr. Yang can speak well, so Mr. Fan should be so-so.

After being surprised for a moment, Mr. Fan became happy and felt that Zhang Huahan had insight.

Being able to marry the Yan family, the Fan family is naturally not unwilling. Mrs. Fan immediately brought a few girls from the Fan family to the provincial capital, went to see Zhu Qiyun, and met Zhang Huahan by the way.

After seeing Zhang Huahan, Mrs. Fan was very satisfied. The family's requirements for the younger son were not high. The resources in the family were given to the eldest son and the second son, and less to the younger son.

Miss Zhang is the niece of Yan Buzheng's direct relative. With his help, the road for the younger son will be much smoother in the future.

Although the Zhang family is a family of merchants, it is not entirely without merit. According to their inquiries, the Zhang family is still very knowledgeable.

As long as the Zhang family is not dragged down, the Fan family feels that it is already very good.

Mrs. Fan and Zhu Qiyun agreed to go to Zhang's house to get married in mid-December, so Zhang Huahan would not be able to continue living in Yan's house.

On the third day of December, under the **** of Uncle Yan's family, Zhang Huahan got on the boat back to Zhang's family.

Mrs. Zhang received the news in advance and knew that Mrs. Yan's family had personally sent his daughter back, so he quickly asked Mrs. Zhang Er and Mrs. Zhang San to clean up a yard.

When Zhang Huahan and Uncle Yan arrived, everyone in the Zhang family greeted them and enthusiastically embraced the two of them into the house.

To the Zhang family, for Zhang Huahan's sake, the Yan family's uncle is quite polite, but he simply exchanged a few words with the Zhang uncle, and then proposed to see Yan Yile.

Zhang Huahan led the Yan family uncle to Wutongyuan. On the way, he hesitated for a while, but still said: "Big cousin, my mother has not liked meeting people very much these years.

The uncle of Yan's family looked at his cousin's embarrassed look, and immediately smiled: "Don't worry, my father and mother mentioned the fourth aunt to me before coming here. If my aunt doesn't see me, then I will kowtow to her in the yard."

Hearing this, Zhang Huahan was grateful and blessed: "Thank you, cousin, for your understanding."

Soon, the two arrived at Wutongyuan.

Yan Yile really didn't want to see the Yan family, but thinking that her daughter would definitely rely on the second brother's family in the future, she forcibly suppressed her reluctance and met the uncle of the Yan family in the living room.

This move surprised both Zhang Huahan and the Yan family.

Although Yan Yile only received the courtesy of the Yan family uncle, and then greeted Yan Wenjie and Zhu Qiyun slightly, but they were still satisfied.

The uncle of the Yan family did not stay at Zhang's house. After seeing Yan Yile, he got up and left Zhang's house. It took less than an hour from entering the door to leaving.

In this regard, the Zhang family is a little disappointed. The longer the Yan family stays in their house, the more they can prove that the relationship between the two families is very good. Unfortunately, even with Zhang Huahan in the middle, the Yan family still does not want to see the Zhang family.

After sending off the uncle of the Yan family, Zhang Huahan went to Mrs. Zhang's house to sit for a while. As for the matter in the Yan family, he only picked up some things to tell the Zhang family.

Looking at Zhang Huahan, who is more and more expensive and decent, the Zhang family's expressions are a little complicated.

Today's Zhang Huahan, even Mrs. Zhang, doesn't dare to be careless when confronted with her.

I have to say that high-level dignitaries can teach people. Zhang Huahan has only lived in Yan's house for a few months, and his speech has become impeccable.

Even if Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang Er and Mrs. Zhang took turns asking, they couldn't get the slightest bit of useful information out of her mouth.

Unable to find out the news, Mrs. Zhang stopped keeping her.

After coming out of Mrs. Zhang's yard, Zhang Huahan went straight to Wutongyu.

"Mother!"

Having seen the wealth and excitement of his uncle's family, seeing Yan Yile who was alone and hiding in Zhang's backyard, unwilling to go out, Zhang Huahan only felt full of sadness.

Yan Yile looked at her daughter with a complicated expression.

When Zhang Huahan went to see the uncle of the Yan family, An Ran told her how Zhang Huahan chose the young master of the Fan family.

Knowing that because Zhang Huahan wanted to come back to see himself more, he deliberately set the scope of his son-in-law selection in Huai'an Province, and his heart was moved and sad.

"The Fan family is just a small family, and there are no particularly outstanding children in the family. I know you think the Zhang family is too low, but with the Yan family here, you don't need to worry too much about it."

Zhang Huahan smiled and poured a cup of tea for Yan Yile. After Yan Yile took it, he smiled and said, "Mother, my daughter really thinks the Fan family is pretty good."

"Although a daughter can marry into a noble family by virtue of her grandfather's family, how can a daughter be able to take care of such a family's backyard."

"My daughter doesn't ask for great wealth or honor, she just wants to live a peaceful life with her husband, with less disputes and conflicts. In this way, her daughter is very content."

"My uncle and aunt have read and watched Fan's son. His character and knowledge are good, and his daughter really likes it, without any reluctance."

Yan Yile looked at Zhang Huahan with a serious face, sighed, and said nothing, it was a tacit approval of her marriage with the Fan family.

That afternoon, Yan Yile sent someone to invite Master Zhang to Wutong Courtyard for the first time, and personally discussed with him about marrying the Fan family.

Master Zhang then knew that the family that the Yan family helped Zhang Huahan decided was the Xuzhou Fan family.

Yan Yile felt that the Fan family's family was not high, which was compared with the Yan family, but Mr. Zhang was very satisfied.

Xuzhou's Fan family is also an aristocratic family. Although there have been no high-ranking officials in the recent two generations, there have always been officials in the court, and they are much higher than the Zhang family's lintel.

Before, he was really worried that the Yan family would set Zhang Huahan a very good family. If the gap between in-laws was too large, it might not be a good thing.

For Zhang Huahan, Yan Yile and Mr. Zhang rarely sat together calmly.

did not discuss, Yan Yile directly stated her requirements for her daughter's engagement.

Mr. Zhang nodded and agreed. After all, it was his daughter. In addition, he had owed money over the years, and he also wanted his daughter to be able to get married.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, a family member of the Fan family, Haohao Tangtang, came to Zhang's family with a betrothal gift, which attracted the people of the county to watch.

Yan Yile officially appeared in front of the Zhang family for the first time, met Mrs. Fan and the third son of the Fan family, and determined that the Fan family was really good, so she nodded and accepted the dowry.

After the two parties agreed, the wedding date was set in one year.

The wedding date is certain, and Mr. Zhang immediately started busy buying a dowry for Zhang Huahan. During this period, Yan Yile also sent her own roommate and went to the provincial capital to buy some good things.

On the other hand, Zhang Huahan concentrates on embroidering wedding dresses in his own yard.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

In order to show his respect for Zhang Huahan, the third son of the Fan family came to Qingshi County to marry him.

At the same time, a passenger ship from the capital stopped at the Qingshi County Wharf.

On the day Zhang Huahan went out, it was still dark, and the makeup gift was lifted off the boat, and he went straight to Zhang's house.

When the gift-giving team entered the county seat, it immediately caused quite a stir.

Looking at the eye-catching 'yan' characters on the gift box, all the people around were looking at him, and many people followed behind the gift-giving team, all the way to Zhang's house.

This time the movement was bigger than the Fan family's next appointment.

The leader who came to give gifts this time was also very capable, so he set the time. When the gift-giving team arrived in front of Zhang's residence, they happened to meet the Fan family who came to marry him.

Both the Zhang family and the Fan family thought that Yan Wenjie sent someone to add makeup and show off to Zhang Huahan. Just as they were about to go to greet Zhang Huahan, who would have thought that the team leader went straight up the steps, coughed lightly, and smiled at the Zhang family and Fan. The family clasped their fists, and then took out a gift book from their arms.

"The youngest is the steward of the Weiyuan Palace. Today, on the order of the princess, I came here to give makeup gifts to the five girls in your palace."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately stirred up a commotion, even the Zhang family and the Fan family were surprised.

The team leader opened the gift book with a smile:

"Princess Weiyuan sent a doctor girl to add makeup to Miss Zhang Wu."

"Xiao Xiaowang sent a pair of gold and jade Ruyi to add makeup to Miss Zhang Wu."

"Princess Chun'an sent a set of twelve red satin and silk screens to add makeup to Miss Zhang Wu."

"Gu Guogong sent two sets of 12 zodiac colored glass ornaments to add makeup to Miss Zhang Wu."

"Gift from Mrs. Yan Tai Lao."

"Send from Mr. Yan."

“.”

Listening to the team leader's singing, the Zhang family, the Fan family, and the surrounding officials, from the initial shock and surprise, gradually became dumbfounded.

This adds makeup. Too rich!

Gifts are secondary, and the most important are those who give them.

As friends of the third son of Fan, Young Master Guo and Young Master Yang also followed him to marry the bride this time. After knowing that the Yan family in the capital came to send makeup, the mood of the two became complicated.

Young Master Yang originally wanted to marry Zhang Huahan, but at this moment, he felt regretful and lost beyond measure. It was because he looked down on Young Master Guo, who was a businessman of the Zhang family, and felt a little regret at this moment.

The relationship behind Miss Zhang Wu was stronger than he imagined.

Just facing Zhang Wu girl behind the royal family, it is enough to ignore her business background.

Unfortunately, regret is useless now.

The one who is happiest now is the Fan family. I thought it would be a great thing to be friends with the chief envoy. I never thought that even bigger surprises were waiting for them.

In the backyard of Zhang's family, Yan Yile knew that the Yan family in the capital had brought makeup to her daughter, and her mood was extremely complicated.

The Yan family is still willing to send makeup to her daughter. Can she understand that the Yan family is still willing to recognize her?

Yan Yile closed her eyes in pain. After all, she was the one who smeared the Yan family.

Zhang Huahan in the new house was both surprised and moved. She used to have no grandfather's family, but today she feels the love and care of her grandfather's family.

I specially put on makeup today, because she is afraid that she will be bullied by marrying into the Fan family!

The marriage between the Zhang family and the Fan family has attracted attention. Now, with the addition of the makeup gift from the capital, it has caused a sensation, so that Zhang Huahan's marriage has been discussed by Qingshi County and surrounding people for a long time.

If it was said that the Fan family had been dissatisfied with the fact that the third son of Fan had married a merchant girl, but when he learned that the princes and princesses in the capital had all sent makeup gifts, such voices disappeared.

Mr. Fan and Mrs. Fan originally agreed with this marriage, and now she is even more satisfied.

After Zhang Huahan married into the Fan family, he abide by-->>
