As expected, a few days later, Mrs. Fan came to apologize, "Yuzhi, Ah Zhen, I am old and my eyes are blurry. I am so sorry for finding this kind of marriage for you!"
She held Cheng Yingzhen's hands with both of them, and said sorry and ashamed to Su Yanli.
Su Yanli stood up and bowed deeply, "Madam, I have a weak relationship with my parents. Thanks to the care of Lord Fan and Madam, the journey was so smooth. How can I be sorry?"
Cheng Yingzhen also stood up and stood beside her husband to bow to Mrs. Fan, expressing her gratitude for her care over the years.
In the complicated officialdom, Mrs. Fan looked at the middle-aged woman and husband in front of her. They were still as simple as when they first met. She nodded with satisfaction and helped the couple to stand up. "What are your plans for Dalang's marriage?"
Cheng Anzhi is already twenty-one and has not yet been engaged. It is a bit late and it makes people anxious.
Su Yanli smiled slightly, "Fortunately, the Lord has placed An Zhi in the Imperial Academy. Since he is in the capital, there is no need to rush and we can slowly find him."
After all, she is the eldest son's daughter-in-law, so she really needs to take things slow. If she finds an incompetent or spendthrift woman, the entire Su family will be ruined.
"Okay, then don't worry about it." Before they started, Mrs. Fan said, "I will keep an eye out for good girls for Dalang. If you find any suitable ones, bring them here so I can take a look."
"Thank you for your concern, ma'am."
The Su family respectfully escorted Mrs. Fan to the entrance of the alley, and only turned back to the yard after the carriage had gone far away.
Seeing that everyone was worried, Su Xiaomei said with a smile, "Why are you in such a hurry? My brother-in-law got married at the age of 24, and my brother is only 21. It's still a long time."
How can this be the same? Zhao Lan got married late, but he had tricked his wife into marrying him when she was a teenager, and he just waited for her to grow up.
Su Yanli and his wife: ...
In mid-August, Su Anzhi entered the Hanlin Academy and began his days of reporting for duty in the morning and leaving his post at night.
Unexpectedly, Lord Xun, who came to Beijing to report on his work, actually stayed in the capital, joined the Ministry of Works, became a sixth-rank official, and became a subordinate of his former neighbor Lord Xue.
Lord Xue laughed as they had dinner together, "When I was a neighbor of the Su family, I was a sixth-rank official. Lord Xun, even though you are a Beijing official, you still have to go out of the capital frequently to do business."
"It's okay... It's okay."
He has been feeling bored staying in the capital all the time, so going out more often is exactly what Lord Xun wants.
It's just that Lord Xun sighed, "Anzhi, I don't know many people in Beijing. In the future, Awan and Ace should come to your house more often. Don't be disgusted!"
"Master Xun, what are you talking about? I have many brothers and sisters. You are welcome to bring Awan and Ace to my house as guests."
Lord Xue also said, "Lord Xun is also welcome to visit my home more often."
"Thank you very much..." When his boss invited him to his home as a guest, Lord Xun quickly stood up and toasted to express his gratitude.
Su Anzhi didn't know that Lord Xun could stay in Beijing, and he didn't know that it was Zhao Lan who made the call and asked the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites to keep Lord Xun in Beijing and make him a Beijing official.
Zhao Lan didn't know anyone with the surname Xun, so why did he greet him? Of course, Su Ruojin fell in love with Xun Wan, but didn't want to be rude, so she left the Xun family in the capital. This way, she would have the opportunity to get in touch with them and find out whether Miss Xun could become her sister-in-law.
After September, the weather gets cooler day by day.
Xun Wan brought her brother to visit the Su family several times, and was also taken by Mrs. Su to participate in some chrysanthemum appreciation and poetry gatherings held by wealthy families, which broadened her horizons.
Of course, the capital was prosperous and prices were high. Her father was a minor official in the capital with a low salary, so he had to find ways to make money to supplement the family income.
But how can she, a young lady who has just arrived in Beijing, make money? (End of this chapter)
