Chapter 260 Willing
Yun Qian's heartfelt words softened Su Fengzhang's initial opposition, and he asked, "Master Yun, if you don't tell me these things, no one else will know. Why did you come and tell me?"
Yun Qian smiled and said, "Marriage is a matter of mutual respect between two families. Hiding it is not a long-term solution."
Su Fengzhang laughed and asked, "Aren't you afraid that if you don't tell me now, Su will find out later?"
Yun Qian didn't refute it. "That's one of the reasons, but ultimately, it all comes down to my sincerity."
Su Fengzhang laughed. "Lord Yun, after hearing what you said, I've actually started to like Yun Hui a little. However, since Yun Hui is an extremely intelligent person, he must also have his own ideas. Would he be willing to be manipulated by others?"
Hearing this, Yun Qian's face broke into a rare genuine smile, and a hint of kindness appeared in his eyes: "Master Su, you don't know that Hui'er fell in love with your sister at first sight and has long been deeply in love with her."
Su Fengzhang was also a man who had seen a lot of things. He almost spit out the tea in his mouth when he heard this. He quickly asked, "What do you mean by love at first sight? When did he meet Huihui?"
Su Huihui was an unmarried girl. Su Zhaoshi and Aunt Bai would occasionally take her out, but most of the time they would go to other people's inner houses or places like jewelry stores. She rarely met other men.
Yun Qian said helplessly, "I have asked several times, but Hui'er won't say anything, so I don't know the details. But don't worry, Master Su. Hui'er's feelings for your sister are based on affection but remain polite."
Su Fengzhang sighed and continued, "Master Yun, I understand what you mean. Thank you for being so honest with me. Regardless of whether the marriage can be successful in the end, I will remember your kindness."
Yun Qian wanted to say a few more words on his son's behalf, but seeing Su Fengzhang's lack of interest, he only said, "Master Su, Hui'er is truly a good child."
After he left the Su family, Su Fengzhang looked behind the screen and said, "Come out."
Su Zhaoshi came out with Su Huihui. Su Zhaoshi spoke first: "Feng'er, if Yun Hui is in good health, this marriage is not a problem."
"Although you are now the Minister of Personnel, our family is not well-off, and Huihui's dowry is definitely not as much as that of the wealthy families. When I took Huihui out before, people with lower official positions than you looked down on me."
Su Zhaoshi also tried her best to arrange Su Huihui's marriage, but after she started to do so, she found that it was easy to find marriages for her two sons, and most of them were girls who were willing to marry into her family.
But Su Huihui was not as popular as she had imagined. In her eyes, although Su Huihui was born out of wedlock, she was smart and clever in dealing with people, and there was nothing wrong with her.
But when she got outside, the first thing people did was to criticize her birth. The mere fact that she was born out of wedlock was a cause for discussion.
This is also why the marriages of the three children in the family are still pending. It is nothing more than that the family that Su Zhao likes does not like them, and the one that likes them does not satisfy Su Zhao.
Now that the Supreme Emperor has arranged the marriage, the Yun family is also a wealthy and high-ranking family in the capital. Yun Qian's wife died early, so Su Huihui will not have a mother-in-law to look after her when she marries. The poor health of a wealthy family is nothing to worry about. Compared with the benefits, it is not a big deal at all.
Seeing her eyes light up, Su Fengzhang sighed helplessly and said, "Mom, please go out first. I want to talk to Huihui."
Su Zhao glared at him, patted Su Huihui's hand and left.
After everyone left, Su Huihui spoke before Su Fengzhang: "Second brother, I am willing."
Su Fengzhang sighed again and said, "Huihui, please listen to me first."
"A marriage granted by the Emperor is not difficult to resolve. This marriage may seem like a done deal, but there are actually many ways to tinker with it. So you don't have to worry about implicating others by disobeying his order."
"Huihui, marriage is a lifelong matter. Second brother hopes you won't worry about anything else and just think about yourself."
"The Yun family has a good family tradition, and Yun Qian is also a decent person. But when Yun Hui made a serious mistake, the Yun family did not hesitate to cut off his arm to survive. This shows how ruthless the big family can be."
"Yun Qian has been in charge of the Dali Temple for many years, and he is still thriving under the rule of the retired emperor. The Queen Mother Yun has been patient for many years, and she hit the target with one strike. The Yun family has an extraordinary mind. They are good at forbearance, but not good at fighting."
Su Huihui pursed her lips and asked, "But second brother, you and Lord Yun are friends."
"They're both enemies and friends," Su Fengzhang continued. "As a colleague, I don't dislike people like Lord Yun. I even find it very easy to work with him. As long as we share the same goals, there won't be any mistakes."
"But as a relative, I'm not sure if the Yun family is suitable."
Su Huihui lowered her head and remained silent, thinking about these words.
Su Fengzhang added: "Smart people have their advantages, but they also have their disadvantages."
"If possible, my second brother would like you to marry into a simple family, so that you can have an easier life."
Su Fengzhang himself is a smart man. He always feels that the reason he didn't get married in his previous life and hasn't gotten married in this life is because he is too smart and can see through things, which has left no room for trust.
Su Huihui suddenly looked up at him and said with a smile, "I know that Second Brother is doing this for my own good. He doesn't want me to have a hard time. He's worried that I'm afraid of implicating you, so he said yes."
"But second brother, I really want to."
"It's not just the Yun family, there are other families too. When we were in Yuexi Village, every household was considered simple, but every family has its own problems. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages."
"Second brother, Huihui considers herself to be a smart person, and deep down she doesn't want to live with a stupid person. The smarter he is, the more successful I feel."
Su Fengzhang looked at her and asked curiously, "Huihui, aren't you afraid that one day the person beside you will turn against you and become your enemy?"
After saying that, Su Fengzhang was stunned for a moment, feeling that what he said seemed a little wrong. "Second brother, that's not what I meant. I meant that the Yun family and the Su family seem to be on good terms now, but that's based on the fact that we have the same political views."
"If one day our political views change, you, having married into the Yun family, will be caught in a dilemma."
After a pause, Su Fengzhang said cruelly, "This day is destined to come. When that day comes, even if I love you, I will never change my mind because of you."
Su Huihui walked over to him, hugged Su Fengzhang's arm and said, "Second brother, if that day comes, Huihui might be able to help you change their minds."
Su Fengzhang reluctantly advised: "Huihui, if you are willing to get married because of this, then..."
"It's not just because of this." Su Huihui said quickly, "Second brother, I'm actually very curious about Yun Hui as well."
Su Fengzhang looked a little strange and asked hurriedly, "Huihui, you didn't fall in love with him at first sight, did you?"
Su Huihui shook her head and said, "I don't remember when I met this young master of the Yun family, but didn't he say that he fell in love with me at first sight and was deeply in love with me? Then marrying him would be great."
Su Fengzhang pinched his forehead and said what he was most worried about: "Huihui, I won't hide it from you. Second brother wants to do something. I will definitely have some political disagreements with the Yun family, and even with Prince Cheng, in the future."
"Not maybe, but definitely."
Su Huihui laughed: "When that time comes, if the Yun family insists on opposing brother and making things difficult for me, I will just divorce Yun Hui. Why should I suffer injustice in the Yun family? Will brother still not allow me to go home?"
Su Fengzhang said helplessly, "Who wants to divorce before getting married?"
Su Huihui added, "But brother, I think since Yun Hui is a smart man, he knows what is right. You don't necessarily have to go that far."
Su Fengzhang was not so optimistic. After all, what he was going to do in the future would probably be considered a serious act of rebellion and defiance of common sense in today's era.
Su Huihui continued, "Second brother, let me tell you about the benefits of marrying into the Yun family."
"First of all, this is an appointed marriage, and it's granted by the Emperor, so the marriage is guaranteed. Brother doesn't have to think of other ways, which saves worry and effort, and it won't give anyone a handle."
"Secondly, the Yun family is considered to be upright and have a good reputation in the capital. It is also rare that Yun Hui himself does not have concubines."
"Third, I like smart people. If my future husband is too easy to fool, I'm afraid my life will be too boring."
"Fourthly, if I marry him, both the Yun family and the Su family can rest assured. We can talk about the future later."
"This fifth place is naturally because Yun Hui is in love with me. If that's the case, I have the upper hand."
Su Fengzhang pinched his forehead, not knowing where he went wrong in the process of education. Su Lanzhang was obviously still somewhat naive, but when it came to Su Huihui, she became so rational and terribly rational.
He was able to analyze the pros and cons of his own marriage, so much so that Su Fengzhang didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Finally, he sighed and said, "Well, since you're willing, let me first investigate Yun Hui and the Yun family. If what Lord Yun said is true, and Yun Hui's health is fine and his temper isn't violent, then Second Brother won't do anything unnecessary."
Su Huihui smiled: "Second brother, I knew you were the best."
Su Fengzhang looked at her and said, "Then think about it carefully. It's not too late to regret now."
Su Huihui said, "I will not regret the path I have chosen."
After saying that, Su Huihui said with some worry: "Second brother, how are you going to get married now that the emperor has done this? Why not ask His Majesty to grant you a marriage?"
Su Fengzhang flicked her forehead and said with a smile, "Just take care of yourself first. You don't need to worry about Second Brother's affairs."
Su Huihui rubbed her forehead: "Second brother, how can I not worry? Your problem is much more serious than mine."
She stole a glance at Su Fengzhang and asked, "Or do you really like Prince Cheng? Even if you do, you can't get married. Mother is worried too."
"Second brother, mother and I don't hate Prince Cheng. If she hadn't arrived in time, we would have suffered. But even if you are fine, the family should still..."
"Huihui." Su Fengzhang stopped her, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. The more you talk, the more outrageous it gets. I'm not getting married simply because I don't want to. It's okay if you don't want to either."
Su Huihui pouted and dared not say anything more.
