Chapter 47

"Yuan Jin, um..." Jun scratched his head, a little embarrassed to speak, "What is your relationship with Miss Zhang?"

"What?"

Jun Qingmo's heart skipped a beat and he immediately looked at him.

"Besides the relationship between employer and servant, or friends, do you and Miss Zhang have any other relationship?" Wei Yijun stood upright and looked at his friend with a frank expression.

"No." Since it was related to Zhang Yunniang's reputation, Jun Qingmo was not vague, "You."

"That's good. I like her. I'm going to tell her."

Wei Yijun breathed a sigh of relief. Given how familiar the two were with each other, he was worried that they might have feelings for each other.

That day in the restaurant, Zhang Yunniang explained the relationship between the two of them in no uncertain terms.

At this time, Jun Qingmo also explained that there was no other relationship between the two of them, and that was settled.

A rough guy is a rough guy.

He took a step and walked out.

Before Jun Qingmo could say anything to stop him, his friend was no longer in the room.

Wei Yijun just saw someone go to the kitchen, probably to make breakfast. The courtyard is so small.

When you come to the outside of the kitchen, you can easily see the busy figures inside through the doors and windows.

"Miss Zhang." He was a little nervous and called out to cheer her up.

"Master Wei? Are you hungry? Wait a moment, the meal will be ready soon."

Zhang Yunniang greeted with a smile, saying, "This is a magpie. It comes to announce good news early in the morning, so of course I have to greet it with a smile."

When Wei Yijun saw him come in and the man grinned happily, he felt even happier.

"I'm attracted to you. Marry me, okay? Don't worry, I've already informed my parents, and they agree. As long as you agree, I'll immediately write the three letters and six formalities and come to propose marriage."

He touched the back of his head, chuckled, and rubbed the ground with his toes. It was really embarrassing to say this.

Jun Qingmo hurried as fast as he could, and just as he reached the door, he heard the straightforward and passionate confession.

Lanzhi had just been passing the fire with her head down, but now she stood up and looked at the scene in front of her with interest.

Zhang Yunniang was holding a ladle and didn't notice that the pot had turned red.

"I like you, so marry me. I will treat you well. I will not take concubines, and you are the only one in my life."

"Our family tradition is pure and peaceful. Three generations of our ancestors have practiced monogamy. Starting from my great-grandfather's generation, they only married one wife and never took concubines."

"My grandfather didn't believe in evil and had second thoughts, wanting to marry a second wife. My grandmother immediately filed for divorce, and my great-grandfather decided to give all of my grandfather's property to my grandmother. The woman my grandfather kept outside ran away when she heard that he was kicked out penniless."

"My grandfather really went through a hard time, but in the end my grandmother couldn't bear it anymore and helped him out. My grandfather gradually came to his senses and changed his mind, and he wanted a legitimate status again.

My grandmother had money and a house, and she lived a good life on her own. She didn't like to pay attention to my grandfather. Whenever there was a family event, my grandfather was alone.

He had to beg and coax my grandmother to accompany him. Later, for the sake of the child, my grandmother returned home, but she was unwilling to hold another wedding. To this day, my grandfather still has no official status.

"My father learned a lot from my grandfather. He has only my mother as his wife. If I dare to take a concubine, you don't even need to say anything. My father will break my legs and my mother will kick me out of the house."

"My eldest brother also inherited the fine family tradition and only married my sister-in-law. Our family is harmonious and there are no quarrels. As long as you agree to marry me, I will only have you as my wife in this life."

Wei Yijun walked forward with sincerity in his eyes and revealed all the secrets of his family without holding back.

His mother was "snatched" away by his father after he fell in love with her, and his sister-in-law was also "snatched" away by his brother after he fell in love with her, following the family's good tradition.

Therefore, he knew from a young age that if he liked someone or caught his eye, he had to take action immediately.

Jun Qingmo pursed his lips and sat there, biting his lower lip hard, trying to control his thoughts. He looked at Zhang Yunniang who was standing there without any reaction, and clenched his fists, "Ahem, the pot is burnt."

"Ah, my pot, my pot, my pot."

Zhang Yunniang turned around and saw that the bottom of the pot was already red. "Oh my Lanzhi!!! You unreliable guy, watch the pot! Watch the pot! Go away, go away, don't burn yourself."

She quickly sprinkled some salt in and stir-fried it, then added some cooking oil to coat the surface of the pan.

Then slowly pour the warm water along the edge of the pot.

Wei Yijun looked at the girl walking out from the stove, and only then realized that there was another person in the kitchen. His face immediately turned red.

He wanted to help, but looking at Zhang Yunniang's skillful movements, he was afraid that not understanding would cause trouble, so he stood there, staring blankly, not daring to help.

Fortunately, he didn't do it himself. The only solution he could think of was to pour a bucket of water in, which was really dangerous.

Zhang Yunniang finally dealt with the pot, but she didn't dare use it for a while. She had to use the stove again.

Jun Qingmo walked into the kitchen calmly. The kitchen was not big to begin with, and now with four people squeezed in, it was really crowded.

"We'll have braised noodles in the morning. You two go out and wait." Zhang Yunniang turned around and looked at the people in the room. They were all restrained in their movements and started to drive them away.

Wei Yijun didn't get an answer, but he was afraid of upsetting others, so he obediently left.

"Young Master Wei has a good family background and looks like a nice person, so why are you so indifferent?"

Lanzhi was a little curious. Given Zhang Yunniang's background, if she could marry the son of the Earl's Mansion, it would be a rare opportunity to marry into a wealthy family.

"Who am I? Who is he? What do I do? What does he do? The status of a noble family is beyond the reach of a mere commoner like me."

Wei Yijun was squatting in the corner. Upon hearing this, he was about to go in and explain things, but Jun Qingmo grabbed his sleeve and shook his head to signal him not to move.

Zhang Yunniang skillfully lit a fire on the stove while Lanzhi was cleaning the small pot.

There are many people eating today, and this pot is a bit small. Zhang Yunniang didn't want to use it originally, but now she can only make do with it.

"That's not true. There are palace maids who become concubines. Everyone wants to climb up the social ladder. Your chance is right in front of you. If you miss it, you'll never get it again."

"Young Master Wei is a good man, and there will be someone better to match him."

This could be said to be a blatant rejection. Wei Yijun felt disappointed and kept his head down in silence. He must have been too reckless, making people feel that he was unreliable.

No, he wanted to prove to her that proposing to her was a sincere and thoughtful decision.

Lanzhi glanced out the window and changed the subject, "What do you think of our young master?"

"Our young master? Why did you suddenly ask him to do that?" Zhang Yunniang looked at her and asked about the boss. Could it be that he was thinking of changing jobs?

My colleague is changing jobs, so all the work will come back to me! Alarm bells are ringing in my head.

"Have you found a good way out? Can you take me with you? We sisters agreed that if you find a good place to go, you should take me with you."

Zhang Yunniang nudged someone with her elbow and said teasingly.

Lanzhi rolled her eyes, raised her hand and hit the man on the head.

She also knew why Jun Qingmo had become less elegant. It was difficult to control herself when she was with this person.

She used to be around ladies, and was influenced by them since she was a child, so she had a relatively quiet temperament. Now, her temper is gradually developing into a violent one.

"I just want to ask, what do you think of our young master?"

"Our young master is a genuinely good man, with a good temper and a gentle personality. He won't get angry unless he's severely bullied.

Now, he is working so hard. Regardless of whether he can become successful in the future, it should not be difficult for him to earn a solid fortune.

So, if you just keep going, the young master will take you to the best of both worlds. Career planning is all about long-term development."

"Sister, you're still young. You'll be right if you listen to me. Our young master is a sincere man. When he was still in the palace, he treated his subordinates well.

He was very generous when he had money, and he was not stingy with money during festivals. If I hadn't worked for him, I wouldn't have been able to save enough to buy this house.

“…”

Lanzhi was speechless and tried to change the question, "If you were to get married in the future, would you prefer someone like our young master or someone like Young Master Wei?"

Zhang Yunniang looked at the little girl's excited eyes and thought that Wei Yijun's nonsense just now had made the girl feel amorous.

Looking at this group of young girls and boys, they are really full of youth.

This is the bad thing about ancient times. These teenage girls and boys are considered minors in modern times, and most of them are now talking about marriage.

At this time, there were no outsiders around, and the little girl had no elders to teach her, which was pitiful, so she decided to give the little girl a lesson.

"Let me tell you, marriage is not just a matter between two people, it's also a matter between two families. That's why there's an alliance."

"When you get married in the future, don't be impulsive. You have to consider at least two things. First, you have to look at the man's family. I'm not talking about his family background, but whether his family traditions are good, whether his parents-in-law and sisters-in-law get along well, and whether his family is harmonious.

Secondly, you have to look at what kind of person the man is. Don't just look at what he says, but see how he behaves in the small things he does. You should marry someone who is good in himself, not someone who is only good to you."

"Young Master Wei meets both of these criteria, and he's also quite handsome. Why don't you marry him?"

Zhang Yunniang sighed inwardly. It was not that she was aloof, but her current physical age was only sixteen, Jun Qingmo was seventeen, and Wei Yijun looked older than him. Based on her observation, he was probably only eighteen or nineteen years old.

What kind of thing is this? Although the enthusiasm of young people is sincere, how can they make a lifelong vow when they are only in their teens? How can they take the words of young people seriously?

"You are still young, how can you understand what love is?"

"Still young? Fourteen or fifteen years old are already getting engaged. What nonsense are you talking about? You are not older than me. Stop pretending to be preachy."

"I understand, little girl, you're thinking about love. I understand everything. If you have a crush on someone, can I give you some advice?"

"Hey, why are you talking about me again? Wasn't I asking you?"

Lanzhi pretended to be angry. As a girl, she was still a little shy when it came to matters of love.

"What are you asking me?" Zhang Yunniang was concentrating on making breakfast. She joked but didn't take it to heart. She had long forgotten how she started the conversation.

Making braised noodles is easier said than done, but she still has to roll the noodles fresh. Or maybe it was more convenient in her previous life.

"Since you don't agree, Master Wei, then if our Master wants to marry you, would you agree?"

Wei Yijun felt disappointed and thought that he had been rude by coming to the house rashly. Hearing this, he looked at his friend and pricked up his ears to listen to the movements in the house.

Jun Qingmo was excited and nervous. He was looking forward to the result, but also worried about the upcoming answer.

I clenched my fists, trying to control my pounding heart. I was so nervous. Can I cry?
