Chapter 244 The Girl's Hard Work
When an ordinary person goes to propose marriage, the future father-in-law will be very displeased with the prospective son-in-law, because the bright and juicy flowers that he has carefully nurtured for so many years are going to be taken away by a person who calls himself his son-in-law, along with the flowers and pots. He will feel quite upset.
Lord He is Miss Su's second cousin, and Ai Cao has served Su Yujin for such a long time, so to him she is like a niece, so she probably dislikes him in every way.
Feng Yuanhao hurriedly added, "Although I am stupid and useless, I have a sincere heart towards Miss Ai Cao. I will do my best to cherish and protect Ai Cao in the future. I have the courage to come here to propose marriage this time, and I hope that Lord He can agree..."
He Yanxiu was stunned when he heard this.
He came to propose marriage to Ai Cao.
He misunderstood.
Ahem! He Yanxiu suddenly felt embarrassed and coughed lightly, "As the saying goes, a gentleman loves a beautiful lady. Shopkeeper Feng is a young and talented man, and Ai Cao is also of marriageable age, so it is suitable."
"But although Manager Feng has good intentions, he still has to ask Miss Su and Ai Cao for their opinions."
The invisible pressure around him suddenly dissipated, and even He Yanxiu's originally cold tone became soft and warm.
Feng Yuanhao didn't know what had happened to cause this, but since He Yanxiu was so kind to him, he felt relieved. "This is natural. Although marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers, it still depends on mutual affection. This time I came here mainly to ask Ai Cao's opinion."
"Of course, I have to ask Miss Su and Lord He what they think..."
"Manager Feng, there is no need to be so restrained." He Yanxiu reached out and patted Feng Yuanhao on the shoulder. "Since I am not wearing official uniform, I will not show myself as an official appointed by the court."
"Mr. He is absolutely right." Feng Yuanhao quickly changed his tone.
He Yanxiu had been quite impressed by the brothers Feng Yuandong and Feng Yuanhao because of Jin Kai's secret mischief during the Lantern Festival. However, he thought at that time that the two brothers were just quite responsible. Now it seems that they are quite smart.
He Yanxiu had a better impression of Feng Yuanhao and even had a smile on his face.
Seeing this, Feng Yuandong and Feng Yuanhao both breathed a sigh of relief. They led Matchmaker Tao and ordered the servants to carry the things to Su Yujin's home in Shuanggui Lane.
Su Yujin and Ai Cao were making apricot jam at home. They were quite surprised to see He Yanxiu and the Feng brothers coming at the same time.
He was even more surprised when he saw the matchmaker Tao and the servants carrying various things following behind.
“What are you doing…”
"Happy event." He Yanxiu said with a smile, glancing at the two Feng brothers.
"Good news?" Su Yujin also glanced at Feng Yuandong and Feng Yuanhao.
Feng Yuanhao was already extremely nervous, and now that Su Yujin and Ai Cao were staring at him suspiciously, he didn't know what to say. He just lowered his head, smiled awkwardly, and felt like he wanted to tear his sleeves with his fingers.
Feng Yuandong couldn't help but roll his eyes.
When he first proposed to Ai Cao at home, he spoke so confidently and I thought that this boy had grown a lot and knew how to fight for himself and how to present facts and reason.
As a result, when he really got to Ai Cao, he looked like this! Seeing that his brother was of no use, Feng Yuandong had to wink at Matchmaker Tao.
Sure enough, at this point, it is better to call in professionals.
Tao was confident and immediately smiled. She cleared her throat and said, "The two Feng shopkeepers are here today for no other reason than to arrange a marriage."
"I've heard that Miss Su is dignified, virtuous, intelligent and capable. Even the maids serving her are smart and likable. Miss Ai Cao is pretty, kind and hardworking. She is a truly good girl. I'm afraid she's hard to find in the entire Qinghe County."
"Let's talk about our shopkeeper Feng. He just turned eighteen this year, the same age as Miss Ai Cao. His family is also very well-off, and is considered a well-known family in Qinghe County. The most important thing is that he is honest and kind, but he is also good at managing the family business. He is also handsome and a good man that is hard to find in the entire Qinghe County."
"These two people can be said to be a match made in heaven, a talented man and a beautiful woman. I have been a matchmaker for so many years, but this is the first time I have come across such a good marriage. It is truly a match made in heaven..."
So the Feng brothers came here for Feng Yuanhao and Ai Cao's marriage? Su Yujin blinked.
Feng Yuanhao is diligent, upright, and gentle. Although we don't know the small details of his life, overall he is a good person with insight, strategy, and a sense of responsibility.
Moreover, the Feng family is quite wealthy. If Ai Cao really married into the Feng family, she would live a rich life without worries about food and clothing. Feng Yuanhao also has an older brother and sister-in-law, so she doesn't have to worry about taking care of trivial matters such as household affairs, which also saves her a lot of trouble.
However, this assumption is based on the fact that Ai Cao also likes Feng Yuanhao.
Su Yujin stood up and bowed, "I'll be back soon. Excuse me for a moment."
Feng Yuandong and Feng Yuanhao naturally understood the purpose of Su Yujin's visit, and hurriedly bowed and agreed, "Miss Su, please do as you please."
Su Yujin left the hall and went to find Ai Cao, who was making tea in the kitchen, and told her the purpose of Feng Yuandong and Feng Yuanhao's visit.
When Ai Cao heard this, he opened his mouth wide, and after a long time he pushed his chin back manually.
"Miss, you mean, Shopkeeper Feng..."
Come to propose marriage? The object of the proposal is her? Wait, they asked so many servants to bring so many things today, is it really not to celebrate the good sales of Yongfu cloth and the weaving workshop making a lot of money? But because Feng Yuanhao likes her and wants to marry her? "That's right." Su Yujin nodded, "This shopkeeper Feng is quite good, I think he is good, so I want to ask you what you think."
"You don't have to worry about the indenture. For you guys, I originally planned to return the indenture to you after a while so that you can find a marriage that suits your heart. Now it happens that Shopkeeper Feng came to propose marriage, so I gave it to you in advance."
"You don't have to worry about me having no one to serve me. Not to mention that proposing marriage is only the first step in marriage, it will take more than a year to get married. Even after you get married, there is still Shuilan to serve you personally. You are not marrying far away, so you can come back anytime."
Seeing that Su Yujin had thought so much for her, Ai Cao felt warm in her heart and nodded. "The young lady treats me well. I know and understand your painstaking efforts. You want me to have a home as soon as possible, a home that I can rely on for the rest of my life. But I really want to stay with you for a few more years."
Although as Su Yujin said, she also lived in Qinghe after getting married, which was not far away, she could come back often.
The first day of the holiday, I was busy as a dog... It was even busier than when I was at work, I was so tired (End of this chapter)
