Chapter 850 Step by Step
Shen Yan registered Lian Yi and Wen Zhaoming's letters of appointment and filed them before leaving the official media center.
He ran into his old rival Jia Yushu, who smiled and said when he saw Shen Yan:
"Mr. Shen, why were you invited to such a remote place this time? I see you look unhappy. The matchmaker's money is a little too little!"
"Bah! Ivory can't come out of a dog's mouth. What's wrong with me going to a remote place? It's fine as long as my matchmaking is successful. Unlike you, you are so picky about matchmaking. What's wrong with that? You still want to be a matchmaker in the royal family!"
Shen Yan was not afraid of Jia Yushu. He just entered the industry two years earlier than Shen Yan and acted like a senior in front of Shen Yan every day. People in the official media didn't like him.
Moreover, the matchmaking was successful this time and he received a large reward. Miss Su was very generous. The only regret was that Miss Su did not allow him to spread the news of the matchmaking, saying that it was during her mourning period and she was afraid of a bad influence.
This was not the first time that Shen Yan acted as a matchmaker for a wealthy family. He knew the twists and turns in those families, so he readily agreed. After returning, he only said that he went to the village to act as a matchmaker and said nothing else. This gave Jia Yushu the opportunity to laugh at him.
Jia Yushu raised his hand and touched the mole on his chin. He felt that Shen Yan was just being stubborn. Even though he was confronted by the other party, he still smiled and said:
"I would like to be a matchmaker for the royal family, but I have to be liked by them! I can't do that. I am just an ordinary person. I have to earn money to be a matchmaker for others. I can't compare with you who only cares about the success of the matchmaking and not the reward."
"Humph! Hypocrisy!"
Shen Yan just flicked his sleeves and left.
After Jia Yushu and others left, he entered the official matchmaking office, talked to someone he knew, and then went to the information room to secretly check the person that Shen Yan was matchmaking for this time. The result surprised him. It turned out to be Miss Su, who had left the county for almost a year, and the other party's engagement partner was a farmer's son.
After reading it, Jia Yushu immediately turned around and left the official media center. This was a shocking piece of news, and he wanted to find someone to share it with.
Lianyi on the other side didn't know that trouble was about to come. She was currently cultivating feelings with her future husband, mainly drinking tea and wine together. Also, during the enlightenment period, Mingge would accompany his sister to class, which made her feel very accomplished.
Lianyi is very clear that in the near future, the original body will go higher and higher, and the environment around it will become more and more complicated. If Wen Zhaoming wants to match the other party, he will have more to learn.
So she has asked the housekeeper to find a suitable father-in-law to educate Wen Zhaoming systematically and make sure he becomes a qualified monarch.
She herself taught Wen Zhaoming the Four Books and Five Classics, but did not require him to memorize the entire text. At least he should understand the principles and be able to speak meaningfully when interacting with others.
After observing Wen Zhaoming for a month, Lianyi handed the account book of the farm to him, allowing him to familiarize himself with it and practice. If there were no problems, he could gradually take over some of the Su family's industries.
Wen Zhaoming was a little frightened at first, but with Lianyi's comfort, he slowly adapted to the situation. In order to allow his wife to prepare for the exam with peace of mind, he would take the initiative to assume the responsibilities that a husband should have.
After Yueyue came to Sujiazhuang, her life became a little unhappy. The main reason was that in addition to studying, she also had to practice martial arts with Aunt Hehua.
Of course, given Yueyue's current small arms and legs, Lianyi didn't want to force her growth. The main thing was to lay a good foundation for the little girl, starting with physical fitness, such as running, horse stance, and boxing. These things were gradually incorporated into Yueyue's daily training.
Lianyi would occasionally show off her sword skills, like a peacock spreading its feathers, to attract Wen Zhaoming's attention and favor, and to increase his favorability. Her life was pretty comfortable.
It seemed like in the blink of an eye, the snow on the ground melted, and the tenants in Sujiazhuang became busy. When the land thawed, they would start spring ploughing. A year's plan depends on spring, and this cannot be delayed.
In order to train Wen Zhaoyue and prevent her from becoming a young lady who is ignorant of the five grains, Lianyi asked Su Zhuangtou to prepare tools and be ready to take them to the fields when the time comes.
As a result, the next day, An He ran to Lian Yi breathlessly and said with an unstable breath:
"Miss, the head of the Su family is here."
"Oh? What is he doing here?"
Ripple asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I don't know, but it looks like it's coming aggressively, miss, why don't you go and meet them?"
"I understand. Just do what you should do. When people come, welcome them into the house, serve them good tea, and tell them that I am working in the fields. The rest is up to the tribe leader."
Ripple said nonchalantly.
"Yes, ma'am."
An He finally caught his breath and replied immediately.
The head of the Su family was an old woman who was almost seventy years old. She had a hunched back, a head full of white hair, and her face was full of traces of time. She got off the carriage with the help of her clansmen.
"My humble servant An He greets the clan leader."
An He bowed respectfully.
"Where's your lady?"
"The young lady is plowing the fields with her men."
"Farming? Ridiculous! Why would a student like her farm? Why isn't she studying at home? What is she doing?"
Chief Su, with wrinkles all over his face, said coldly.
"Young lady said that among the three classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, farmers are the second. Working in the fields is not a lowly thing. The Queen even issued an order to encourage people to engage in farming and sericulture."
".Then you go and invite your lady."
Chief Sioux frowned and said.
"Please go in first, Chief. I have asked someone to invite the young lady."
An He replied respectfully, then invited the clan leader and all the members of the Su family behind her into the main hall to sit down, turned around and brought them tea and snacks, and finally stood aside with her hands behind her back waiting for the young lady to return.
Lianyi actually just circled around the field to let these people lose their momentum, and then slowly walked back with Hehua and Cuihua.
Coincidentally, today was the anniversary of the death of the Wen siblings' father. They took the horse-drawn carriage driven by Old Su back to Wenjia Village early in the morning to offer sacrifices and take care of their mother's new grave.
So Lianyi was not afraid at all of the uninvited head of the Su family. After entering the house, she bowed respectfully and then found a chair and sat down.
"Chief, I don't know if it's Lianyi's fault that you came today and didn't greet you in advance."
Ripple spoke first.
"It's not your fault. It happened suddenly, so I came here directly."
Chief Su was very touched by Lian Yi's respect.
"I wonder what's the important matter that the Labor Clan leader is coming here in person?"
Lianyi asked following the other party's words.
"I heard that you hired the county's official matchmaker and decided on a young man from Wenjia Village?"
“That’s true, but there’s nothing we can do about it.
My aunt wanted to take advantage of the death of her parents to marry her youngest son to me. When I fainted, I almost became the master of the Su Mansion with Tang Zijun.
It was the Third Clan Elder and the Fifth Clan Elder who came in time to help me through the difficult times. For this, I even donated several acres of sacrificial land to the clan."
Lianyi said in a sad tone.
When Chief Su heard this, something flashed in his eyes, and then he said in a gentle tone:
"Is this the reason you are so anxious to find a young man? Why didn't you tell the tribe so that we can find you a man who can help you."
