Chapter 446, Discussion
Master Han Er and others sat in the old lady's room for a while, and then followed Yan Zhigao to the front yard.
As soon as the people left, Old Lady Yan said to Madam Li, "Looking at the behavior of the Second Master Han and the behavior of the First Master Han, the Han family is not bad. I just wonder what their daughters are like."
Mrs. Li had a worried look on her face. Her eldest son was getting married, but she couldn't go to meet her future daughter-in-law in person. She was always a little worried. First, she was afraid that the girl's appearance and character were not good enough for her son; second, she was afraid that the girl's temperament and ability were not good enough to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yan family.
The Han family's family background is indeed good. If the Yan family were to marry into their family, it would be considered too high a marriage for them. However, all mothers are the same. They think their sons deserve the best girl in the world.
Madam Li suddenly looked at Yan Siyu and asked, "Little sister, the Yang family often lives in the capital. Do you know what the reputation of the girls in Zhaode Marquis's mansion is like?"
Yan Siyu said somewhat awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, the Yang family's social circle consists of officials below the fourth rank, and they have almost no contact with the lord's family."
Madam Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled apologetically and said, "Look at me, I always speak without thinking. Little sister, please don't mind."
Yan Siyu smiled and shook her head: "What are you talking about, sister-in-law? It's my fault that I couldn't help."
Madam Li said quickly, "Please don't say that, or Mother will say I'm bullying you."
Yan Siyu sat down next to Old Lady Yan again and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law is the most virtuous. Mother is not like that."
Old Lady Yan smiled and said, "Okay, you two should stop being so polite to each other."
Yan Siyu pondered for a moment and said, "Because the title of Marquis Zhaode will be taken away in this generation, they have always kept a low profile. Having lived in the capital for so many years, I rarely hear gossip about them. Their reputation is quite good."
Downstairs, Daohua and several other girls pricked up their ears and listened. Hearing this, Daohua couldn't help but speak up: "Mom, if the Han family can come to our house to inquire about the situation, we can also send someone to the capital to check."
That Fang Hao is not close to Fang Liangji's family at all, but when cousin Zixuan and Fang Liangji got engaged last time, he showed up in person. Now that I think about it, he must be the first person sent by the Han family to inquire about their family situation.
However, at the time, their family was just a local official family with an uncertain future, so after finding out about the situation, the Han family did not make any comments.
And now, the eldest brother has passed the imperial examination, and grandmother and mother have been granted imperial decrees. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Yan family has a bright future, so the Han family decided to come in person to celebrate the birthday.
The Han family did understand their family's situation, but they didn't know anything about the Han family.
Upon hearing this, Madam Li immediately glanced over and said, "Why are you, a little girl, butting in on the adults?"
Daohua: "This is about big brother's lifelong event, so of course I take it seriously. My future sister-in-law is going to spend her life with big brother, so you don't want to marry someone he doesn't like, do you?"
Madam Li gave Yan Siyu an apologetic smile and glared at Daohua: "You're getting more excited the more you talk. Come on, stop hanging around in the room and take your cousin Xiujun out for a walk."
Daohua curled her lips and stood up, leading Yang Xiujun out while thinking that Qin Xiaoliu had just gone to the capital to check on the situation at the hot spring mountain. She would write to him later and ask him to inquire about the situation of the Han family.
After watching the girls leave, Madam Li smiled and said to Yan Siyu, "I've spoiled Yiyi. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Yan Siyu smiled and said, "Yiyi really cares about her brother. This shows that they have a good relationship."
Mrs. Li showed a relieved smile on her face. Her son and daughter had a good relationship, and as a mother, she was happy to see it.
Sun smiled and interrupted, "Sister-in-law, are you and brother planning to arrange a marriage for Wen Xiu with a girl from the Han family?"
Madam Li immediately said sternly, "Second brother's wife's matter is still unresolved. Don't go out and say anything. If it doesn't work out, it will ruin the girl's reputation."
Sun smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I know the seriousness of the matter. But the Han family is an earl family, how could they be interested in our family?"
Yan Siyu smiled and continued, "Second sister-in-law, you don't know that our family is no longer what it used to be. The officials in the capital all know that the emperor values big brother very much. Otherwise, if a gold mine was discovered in Ningmen Mansion, the higher-ups would have sent another official to take over the position of prefect."
As he said this, he turned to look at Madam Li.
"I think there are countless families who want to marry into the Yan family now, so don't be overwhelmed by the choices, sister-in-law."
Madam Li shook her head modestly and said with a smile, "It's not as exaggerated as you say."
Thinking about the fact that the Yan family had many families that they wanted to marry into, as early as in Xingzhou, some officials' families had expressed their intention, but she had brushed them off.
Marry a virtuous wife. A good wife can bring prosperity to the family for three generations. She can help her husband outside and educate children at home, so that the family heritage can continue. But if you marry a troublemaker, it will be a misfortune for the family.
She and the master have always valued the eldest son's wife.
We must send someone to investigate the Earl of Zhaode's Mansion.
Seeing that Wenxiu had already started talking about marriage, and that his future wife might even come from an earl's family, the smile on Sun's face became a little forced. His Wenjie was not much younger than Wenxiu, yet the marriage was still not in sight.
On the other side, Daohua and others left the old lady's yard and went directly to the guest house prepared for Yan Siyu and her daughter.
"Cousin Xiuyun, this is the yard that mother prepared for you. Please take a look to see if there is anything missing. We don't know your living habits. If there is anything that you are not used to, please remember to tell me and I will send someone to correct it. Please don't say nothing, otherwise, grandma will think I am not doing my best."
Daohua said to Yang Xiujun with a smile.
Yang Xiujun looked around the room and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, cousin. This courtyard is decorated very elegantly and warmly. It's a style that my mother and I both like."
Daohua smiled and said, "As long as you like it, this is my aunt's home anyway. Now that you're home, don't be polite."
There were two tables set up for dinner, one in the front yard and one in the back yard.
Knowing that Yan Siyu, Master Han Er and the others were tired from the journey, Madam Li and Yan Zhigao arranged for them to rest early after dinner.
In the guest house, Master Han II sent away the maid sent by the Yan family to serve him, leaving only Han Hexu, Fang Hao, and his personal servant in the room.
"The Yan family is even richer than we imagined!"
Master Han Er looked at the bonsai and ornaments placed in the room and nodded slightly.
The Han family is not what it used to be, but not every family can marry their daughter. If they can't even provide for the basic needs of food, clothing, shelter and transportation, then such a family should not even think about marrying their daughter.
Master Han Er looked at Han Hexu again and said, "By the way, you've been talking to Yan Wenxiu for so long. What do you think of him?"
Han Hexu pondered for a moment. "Yan Wenxiu is a very learned and ambitious man. Fang Hao and I went to his study this afternoon and found that he had annotated almost all the books in his study."
Fang Hao took over the conversation, "He's not only ambitious, but also capable. I heard from the servants in the Yan Mansion that after passing the imperial examination, he worked for Lord Yan's advisor. It seems he participated in the entire process of Dong Buzheng's memorial to the court regarding the resettlement of refugees in Sha County."
Master Han nodded. "I spoke to him for a few minutes. He's a steady and responsible man." He paused and asked, "Is Yan Wenxiu also close to the young prince of the Prince of Peace's mansion?"
Fang Hao shook his head: "I don't know about that. When I was studying at Wangyue Academy, I could still get news about the little prince, but since I left Wangyue Academy, I can't get any news about the little prince anymore."
"When they were studying at Wangyue Academy, they often went in and out together. But if we talk about who has the best relationship with the young prince, I think it would be Yan Wenxiu's younger brothers Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao."
Master Han Er: "No matter if it's Yan Wenxiu or Yan Wenkai, they are brothers. If one of them benefits, the other one will not lose out either." He smiled again as he said this.
"The feng shui of the Yan family's ancestral tomb must be very good. The Yan family's sons are good, and the Yan family's daughters are also excellent. The Yan family has a bright future."
