Chapter 1248 Distant Nephew
Shu Yu nodded, "Okay, then tell me, what's the situation with the man?"
"Master Yu said that he was his distant nephew. They weren't very close and didn't see each other often, but the young man was a good one."
Mr. Yu's distant nephew is named Yu Fenglin. He is nineteen years old this year. His parents are both dead, and he owns a blacksmith shop in the county town.
He is hardworking and diligent. Although he is only nineteen years old, he has managed to run the blacksmith shop quite well.
Mr. Yu said that although Yu Fenglin was his nephew, Mr. Yu's family was very wealthy and he had never had any children. Many of his nephews, both near and far, wanted to be adopted by him.
Only Yu Fenglin not only didn't have this idea, but he also never asked Master Yu for help.
His mother died early, and his father passed away when he was fourteen. You can imagine how difficult things were for Yu Fenglin at that time; his blacksmith shop was on the verge of closing down.
It wasn't that he hadn't considered seeking help from Master Yu, but if he kept doing so whenever he encountered difficulties, how could he possibly manage on his own? So he decided to persevere a little longer, and through that perseverance, he successfully established the blacksmith shop.
Later, some people tried to arrange marriages for him, but in those days many people were wary of the fact that both his parents had died, so they recommended some less desirable families.
Even if there are good girls, they are mostly after his blacksmith shop where he makes money.
Yu Fenglin wasn't in a hurry; he just wanted to live his life peacefully.
Master Yu had completely forgotten about this nephew at first. If it weren't for the fact that he was planning to go to the prefectural city some time ago and found that the horseshoes needed to be replaced, and he had been introduced to this blacksmith shop, he wouldn't have known that the young blacksmith was his nephew.
Ever since Mr. Yu adopted the twins, his temperament has become much gentler and more patient.
The other person was his junior, so he took the opportunity to chat with him while he was forging iron and inquire about his recent situation.
Upon inquiring, Master Yu learned that the man was still unmarried.
Master Yu then had an idea and said to him, "Your parents are no longer here. Since I am your elder, I will keep an eye out for your marriage and find you a good girl."
Yu Fenglin simply agreed without thinking. He was indeed of age, and if a suitable girl came along, he wouldn't rule out settling down with her.
At first, Master Yu didn't think of Lan Hua, but later, when he heard that Shu Yu was engaged, he suddenly remembered that the Lu family had a girl who was a few months younger than Shu Yu.
Master Yu didn't come to discuss this matter rashly; he had inquired about orchids beforehand.
That young girl, although she loves beauty, is very hardworking and earns her living through her own abilities, which is much better than that of ordinary girls.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mr. Yu spoke to the old lady about it.
only……
The old lady frowned. "There's something not quite right."
"What's wrong with it?"
“I heard from Master Yu that Yu Fenglin is tall and burly, with a somewhat fierce face. I can guess that. A blacksmith shop wouldn’t be able to forge iron without some strength and a strong build, right? But if he looks too fierce, I guess Lan Hua wouldn’t be too happy.”
Shu Yu thought about Lan Hua's personality, and thought, "Hmm... she's a girl who likes to dress up and is also a sucker for good looks."
Although Ge Qifei, Lan Hua's previous betrothal partner, wasn't a very good person, he was certainly handsome. When Madam Li was choosing a husband for Lan Hua, she probably knew some of Lan Hua's preferences.
