Chapter 749 Let’s go together
Zhang Juexia looked at the snow outside the window and thought that it would be nice to eat hot pot at home on such a day.
Mrs. Chen also became interested and helped her clean up.
With Li Yun's help, the hot pot was ready soon.
Chen Xuan and Ye Beixiu went to the shop together, while Chen Yu practiced calligraphy in the house.
Mrs. Chen looked at the snow outside and said worriedly, "I wonder when this snow will stop falling?"
"Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest!"
"That's right! Madam Ye, I've noticed that you've always been in a good mood!
When I saw the snow falling, I thought about how inconvenient it was for everyone to travel.
But you think that auspicious snow means a good harvest."
Zhang Juexia smiled and said, "Madam Chen, if you don't go back to the capital for the New Year this year, how are you going to manage your relationships there?"
"Xuan'er has already taken care of all these for us in advance.
Speaking of Xuan'er, I think he is still like a child in front of you.
At other times, I feel more mature than his father.
Alas, it's all my fault. I'm usually weak-tempered, and his father has such a bad temper."
Listening to Madam Chen talking about Chen Xuan, Zhang Juexia came with great interest, "Yesterday, my husband also mentioned this matter.
He said that when Young Master Chen helped him inspect the shop, Young Master Chen helped him think of things that he had not thought of.
Along the way, Master Chen also helped my husband analyze his future path.
Madam Chen scolded, "Look at this kid, he's really controlling!
Madam Ye, please don't be offended!
When he was in the capital, he was like a person with thorns on his body and never opened up to anyone.
He really treats you as friends, that's why he talks so much."
Zhang Juexia agreed with what Mrs. Chen said. She also felt that Chen Xuan really did not treat them as outsiders.
She nodded to indicate that she wouldn't mind.
Mrs. Chen sighed again, "I don't know when my son will be able to find me a daughter-in-law.
This way, his father and I can settle down with peace of mind here with you."
"Mrs. Chen, are you and Mr. Chen really not going back to the capital?"
"I don't want to go back. I feel really comfortable here with you.
I have been married to my master for twenty years, and this is the first time I feel that life can be lived like this."
"What about Chen Xuan?"
Mrs. Chen saw that Zhang Juexia cared so much about Chen Xuan and smiled, "This child has already thought about us.
He is now the male head of the Chen family, and when he gets married, he will have a female head.
So there is nothing between me and his father."
"That's good."
"It's just, well..."
Seeing Madam Chen hesitate to speak, Zhang Juexia asked curiously, "Madam Chen, your Chen family is a well-known family in the capital.
Logically speaking, you shouldn't be so worried about Master Chen's marriage! "
Madam Chen looked around and said, "Madam Ye, we are already so close to you that we are no longer outsiders.
Xuan'er's marriage, this matter, there is another hidden story."
Zhang Juexia wondered in his heart, could it be another case of two kids falling in love but being separated because of the special status of their two families?
She stopped everything she was doing and stared at Mrs. Chen, hoping that she would continue.
Mrs. Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Mrs. Ye, I'm telling you this, but you must keep it a secret!"
Zhang Juexia was so scared that she nodded quickly. She just wanted to hear some gossip. How could she possibly find out any secrets?
"Madam Ye, I'm sure you've heard that our Chen family also does business in the palace.
If you do business in the palace, you will inevitably have to deal with the nobles in the palace.
Xuan'er is not bad looking, has a good brain and is good at studying.
Seeing that he had not yet married, the nobles began to think about his marriage.
However, the nobles in this palace are not so easy to marry.
One wrong step will lead to another, and may even lead to the destruction of the entire Chen family.
Our ancestral motto is to only do business.
But the nobles did not dare to offend them, so Xuan'er had to find an excuse that he had a hidden illness.
Therefore, his marriage was delayed."
Zhang Juexia also felt sorry for Chen Xuan, "Madam Chen, when looking for a wife, it doesn't necessarily have to be a girl from the capital."
“That’s right!”
Madam Chen smiled and said, "I'll ask Xuan'er when he comes back.
His father and I have also figured it out.
The safety of the family is more important than anything else.
As long as the girl is from a good family, Xuan'er likes her, and she has us in her heart, we have no objection."
After hearing what Mrs. Chen said, Zhang Juexia began to look at her with a new respect. He didn't expect that she was so open-minded.
The room instantly became quiet, with only the sounds of the girls playing in the yard.
Zhang Juexia looked outside and said, "They've made a snowman!"
Mrs. Chen also stood up and looked back, "It's still good to be young!"
Zhang Juexia wanted to go out and join in the fun, but Madam Chen stopped him, saying, "Don't make things worse at this critical moment.
When the baby is born, you can play with it however you want."
Although Zhang Juexia felt itchy in his heart, he still listened to Mrs. Chen's words and sat down on the chair obediently.
Mrs. Chen looked at Zhang Juexia, who was sitting obediently in the chair, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. "Mrs. Ye, I have an unwelcome request. Do you want to hear it?"
"Mrs. Chen, just say it. Why are you so polite? I'm listening!"
"I see that you are not much older than our Xuan'er. How about I just adopt you as my goddaughter?"
Zhang Juexia was stunned. She didn't know how to respond.
Mrs. Chen forced a smile and said, "It's me who is being rude."
Zhang Juexia saw the disappointment on Mrs. Chen's face and couldn't bear to refuse. However, she still wanted to discuss this matter with Ye Beixiu. "Well, how about you wait until Master Chen and Chen Xuan come and discuss it with them."
"Alright!"
Ye Beixiu and Chen Xuan came in one after another, and the little girls in the yard all ran away.
The little girls who ran away from Chen Xuan asked Ye Beixiu, "Brother Ye, are we scary?"
Ye Beixiu ignored him and said, "If you don't come in, I won't wait for you for dinner."
"No, no, I've been running around with you all morning, and my stomach is already empty."
After Chen Xuan came in, the atmosphere in the room quickly became lively.
"Mom, where's my dad?"
"He's still practicing calligraphy in the backyard. He should be here soon!"
"What are we having for dinner today?"
"The hot pot prepared by Madam Ye!"
Chen Xuan casually picked up a piece of snack on the table and put it in his mouth, "Mom, Brother Ye and I are already brothers, and you are still here calling me Madam Ye.
Don’t you and dad always complain about not having a daughter?
If you ask me, why don't you just accept Madam Ye as your goddaughter?"
