Ye Hongyun explained the situation of the Zhang family in detail to Lord Wang Lai. Wu Deyong mainly introduced Zhang Hulan and told Lord Wang everything that Zhang Hulan had done. Lord Wang nodded and said, "Girl Yun, send someone to the Zhang family to deliver a note tomorrow. I'll pay a visit to them when it's convenient for them."
Ye Hongyun said: "They are at home every day, you can go anytime."
However, since Lord Wang was coming to visit, Ye Hongyun felt that he should still inform him in advance.
The next morning, Zhang Hulan received a note from Ye Hongyun saying that Wang Xingren's grandfather had arrived and wanted to visit him.
Zhang Hulan immediately told Old Man Zhang, Mrs. Wang, Zhang Hujun and Mrs. Li, and asked them to get ready.
Zhang Hulan also immediately asked Zhang Hubing to go to the county town to buy things for the banquet.
When the Zhang family knew that it was the old marquis who came, everyone was very nervous.
The most nervous person was Zhang Dahua. Wang Xingren's elders had arrived, and she was really going to get married.
The next day, Wu Deyong, Ye Hongyun and Lord Wang came to Zhang's house. Wang Yaqin and Xu Chu also came.
Today is the fifteenth day, and the academy is closed. Wu Yunyang has also come, and Zhang Xiaobing and a few others, as well as Zhang Xinyuedao and Daoxu are also at home.
All the members of the Zhang family came to the intersection to greet them.
The Zhang family was about to kneel down to pay their respects, but Lord Wang hurriedly held them up and said, "Today is a meeting between the parents of both parties. There is no other status. We are all the elders of the two children, so there is no need to go through those etiquettes."
Zhang Hulan led Lord Wang home, introducing his family members. Finally, she pulled Zhang Dahua in front of Lord Wang and said, "Lord, this is my niece, Dahua."
Zhang Hulan blushed and lowered her head, calling softly, "Hello, Grandpa Wang!"
Lord Wang looked at Zhang Dahua, smiled and nodded, "Okay, she's a good kid, very good!"
Old Lord Wang looked at the children who were circling around them and staring at him curiously and asked with a smile: "Wow, so many children, are they all yours?"
Zhang Hulan smiled and replied, "Yes, there are many children in my family."
Lord Wang said happily: "Having many children is good! A large family is a blessing!"
Zhang Hulan said: "It's just too noisy!"
Old Lord Wang looked around. Zhang Hulan's farm has now taken shape. To the right of the house is a fish pond and chickens and ducks. To the left is a planted lotus root, and there are also some flowers, plants and trees planted around it.
Lord Wang pointed at the surroundings and asked Zhang Hulan, "Is this all yours?"
Zhang Hulan nodded, "Yes."
"It's great here! There are mountains, water, flowers, grass, farmland and livestock. This farm is well planned.
Seeing this makes me want to build a couple of fish ponds to raise chickens, ducks and fish.”
Wang Xingren immediately responded, "Grandfather, if you like, I will buy a piece of land here and build it like Madam Zhang's manor."
Lord Wang said with a smile: "It is said that when a girl grows up, she should not be kept at home. It is also said that when a boy grows up, he should not be kept at home either. You are not going to build a manor for me. You are using me as a cover to be closer to your future wife's family, right?"
Wang Xingren was embarrassed for a moment, and the blush on Zhang Dahua's face never faded.
Zhang Xiaobing kept looking at Wang Xingren with his head tilted. He had heard last night that his sister was getting engaged to someone else.
Zhang Xiaobing suddenly said to Wang Xingren, "You want to be my brother-in-law?"
Wang Xingren: …
Lord Wang lowered his head and smiled at Zhang Xiaobing, and asked, "How is it? Are you satisfied with the choice of your brother-in-law?"
Zhang Xiaobing said, "It's OK. My sister may have done it. She can wash clothes, cook, and sew clothes. My sister is still studying. Ordinary people are not worthy of her."
"Really? Then your sister is really great!" Old Lord Wang smiled.
"Of course." Zhang Xiaobing then stared at Wang Xingren and asked, "Have you ever been to school?"
Wang Xingren nodded and said, "I have read it."
"So how are you studying?"
“So-so.”
Zhang Xiaobing asked again: "Then can you fight?"
Wang Xingren nodded and said, "I think so."
"So are you good at fighting?"
"It's just so-so."
Zhang Xiaobing curled his lips and said, "You can't do that. You have to practice martial arts. Otherwise, if someone bullies my sister in the future, how will you protect her?"
Wang Xingren said: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone bully your sister."
Zhang Xiaobing was quite satisfied with Wang Xingren's attitude, and then said: "Others can't bully my sister, and you can't bully her either, otherwise I will ask my brothers to beat you up together. I have a lot of brothers."
Zhang Xiaobing pointed at Shanzi, Dao, Daoxu and the others, "See? They are all my brothers. And..."
Zhang Xiaobing pointed at Zhang Xiaojun and said, "I am my sister's cousin, and this is my sister's biological brother. Brother Xiaojun is very good at fighting. If you dare to bully my sister Dahua, he will definitely beat you up."
Wang Xingren was threatened, a naked threat. But he had no temper and could only accept the threat.
Xiang Chunhua pulled Zhang Xiaobing away awkwardly, "It's just a kid talking nonsense, don't mind it, don't mind it..."
Lord Wang smiled and said, "This is not nonsense. Protecting his sister shows that they have a good relationship. This is a manifestation of responsibility."
"Xingren, you must remember what your brother said. If Dahua is wronged in the future, I will be the first one to not forgive you."
Wang Xingren bowed quickly and said, "Grandfather is right. I will definitely protect Dahua."
Wang, Li and Xiang Chunhua looked at each other inconspicuously. This was the task that Zhang Hulan gave to Zhang Xiaobing last night.
It is not easy for an adult to say what Zhang Xiaobing just said, but a child said it.
Even if the Wang family had some objections, they couldn't say anything to a child.
Sometimes, the couple has a good relationship and good character, but some of their family members are not so good, and it is very difficult to get along with them.
Zhang Hulan smiled and said to Lord Wang, "Lord, this child is just a child, please don't be offended. However, we do hope that Dahua can have someone to rely on in the future and not be bullied."
Lord Wang nodded: "Of course, our Wang family is not unreasonable. Xingren is a well-behaved child and will definitely not let Dahua suffer any injustice."
The parents of both sides met formally and were both very satisfied. There was no formal discussion, it was more like a deal. From the intersection to Zhang Hulan's home, both sides already understood each other's intentions, so they just stopped there.
When entering the courtyard, Yuan Gang in the gatehouse saw Old Marquis Wang with doubt in his eyes, and his face looked very familiar.
Zhang Hulan led Lord Wang and his entourage into the house, while Yuan Gang ran to find Luo Changqi and Dong Jianyong.
"Mr. Luo, Mr. Chairman, I saw someone who looks exactly like General Wang."
Luo Changqi and Dong Jianyong were both stunned, "General Wang?"
Yuan Gang nodded, "Yes, he looks very much like General Wang. But I haven't seen him for decades, so I'm not sure."
