Zhang Changan thought that Miss Shen would be from a better family than himself, but he didn't expect that she would be his sister's sister-in-law.
After Miss Shen left the countryside, he said to himself that if he met her again, he would definitely ask her if she liked him and whether she was willing to marry him.
But when he sent Shen Ruonan to the gate of Shen Mansion, he hesitated. Isn't this his sister-in-law's house?
While he was hesitating, Liu Wanyun came out and saw a man bringing Ruonan back. Her curious look prevented the two of them from even saying goodbye properly.
Ruonan hurriedly said thank you, Master Zhang, and ran into the mansion. Zhang Changan had no choice but to smile politely at Liu Wanyun and left reluctantly.
Liu Wanyun did not leave the house. She turned around and went back to the house. She caught up with Ruonan, pulled her into Jingxinzhai, and questioned her thoroughly.
Naturally, I know everything.
Then, everyone in the Shen family expressed their acceptance of this matter.
Under Liu Wanyun's guidance, Ruonan understood her own feelings. She felt that she and Zhang Changan got along well in the countryside and expressed her willingness to marry him.
She went to tell Aunt Zhao about this, and her mother naturally agreed. Mrs. Shen would not object. As for Mr. Shen, he also disagreed at first, but later, after some unknown reason from Aunt Zhao, he finally agreed reluctantly.
On the contrary, it was the Zhang family and Zhang's mother who disagreed with the marriage.
She likes a girl like Xiaohong to be her daughter-in-law, but a young lady like Ruonan, who can't do any work and needs to be fed and well-fed, is not something a family like theirs can afford.
Zhang Changan knew that all this was caused by him bringing Xiaohong back home. As long as Xiaohong expressed her unwillingness and left home, his mother would no longer hold out hope for him to marry Xiaohong.
While her mother was busy, he found Xiaohong and had a chat with her.
"Little Red, I brought you to the city because you said you were coming here to find a music school and wanted to keep me company. But my mother misunderstood and said those words about marrying you. I apologize to you on my mother's behalf!"
"I don't like you and won't marry you. I already have someone I like. To avoid unnecessary trouble, please go wherever you want to go! The Zhang family can't keep you any longer!"
Xiaohong looked at him pitifully with wet eyes, "But, isn't marriage always decided by parents' orders, sir... I..."
She originally came to look for a music school, but when Zhang's mother said that she would stay and be the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, she was moved. Between getting married and getting rid of the poor life directly, and having to work hard to live a good life, she would definitely choose the former.
Zhang Changan ignored her sympathetic expression and just wanted to cut the Gordian knot. "Marriage is a big deal, naturally, it's best to get your parents' approval, but that doesn't mean blind obedience. For the rest of your life, you'll be happy only if you find someone you love..."
"I like you. You are such a nice person, kind, and capable..."
"You're not in love, you're just grateful. Besides, I don't like you. Even if I don't have someone I like, I won't marry you! So please leave my house as soon as possible!"
Over the years, his mother introduced him to many people, but he refused. How could he just follow his parents' arrangements so casually!
He just regrets it now. He will never help others casually in the future. This time, he almost lost himself.
Before turning to leave, he remembered something else. "Oh, my sister said that their Jinxiufang is dedicated to teaching needlework. After you learn, you can help them in the silk and satin shop. There's no shortage of work. If you're interested, you can go directly to her. The teaching workshop also provides accommodation for apprentices whose families live far away."
Xiaohong left that day.
Zhang's mother scolded Zhang Chang'an, but it was of no avail. However, she was stubborn and refused to go to the Shen family to propose marriage.
Zhang Changan said, then I will never get married in this life and will be a bachelor for the rest of my life!
Having said that, he went to pack up his things and prepared to go out to practice medicine!
Zhang's father, who was busy in the clinic, hurried back to persuade the two, and finally Zhang's mother had to compromise!
The Zhang family came to propose marriage, and after going through all the formalities, the wedding date was set for three months later. By then, the weather would be cooler, which would be just the right time to hold a wedding banquet.
…
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and most of the people in the Shen family stay at home unless they go out for non-essential reasons.
When this person is idle and can be seen in the mansion every day, he will inevitably find something to do.
In the morning, when it was the coolest time of the day, it was the perfect time to sleep well, but Liu Wanyun had to struggle to get up and prepare to do housework.
She sat in front of the dressing table to tidy herself up, but turned her head and saw that Shen Chaodong was still asleep. She felt unhappy and her movements became a little bigger.
Bang!
The two rouge jars collided with each other.
Bang!
The headdress was not good-looking and was thrown back into the box with force.
Swish!
When he stood up, he pushed the stool away with his butt.
Shen Chaodong frowned slightly and opened his eyes because of the noise. He was originally facing inside sideways, not knowing that Liu Wanyun was in a bad mood, so he instinctively muttered, "Madam, please be quiet~"
Just as I was about to close my eyes and continue sleeping, a resentful voice came from behind me, "Chen Chaodong, you are so mean to me!"
This voice belongs to his wife. Why is she calling him by his full name?
He suddenly woke up and turned around to see Liu Wanyun with a wronged look on her face.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Wanyun raised her index finger and pointed at him, "You were mean to me just now~"
Seeing her little mouth curled up and she looked like she was about to cry, Shen Chaodong immediately stood up and hugged her in his arms.
"How was I mean to you? I just asked you to keep your voice down..."
"But you've never complained about my loud voice before!"
Shen Chaodong thought to himself: But you haven’t made such a big fuss before!
But he didn't dare to respond. After thinking for a moment, he asked tentatively, "Are you feeling unwell? Is your period coming? Otherwise, how about we lie down and sleep for a while?"
Liu Wanyun was furious. "I have a lot of things to arrange in the morning!"
"How about you have them come to the East Garden to answer questions instead of going to the side hall? That way they can sleep a little longer in the morning..."
"No! I don't want those people to come into my yard and dirty my beautiful yard."
Shen Chaodong hugged her and walked towards the bed. "Let's deal with those things later today. It's not a big deal. If mother asks, just say it was my idea."
Then, Si Xi was sent to inform that the eldest young master's wife felt a little unwell when she woke up in the morning, and that things in the mansion could proceed as planned. If there were any important matters, the lady should be consulted for decision.
After lying back on the bed, Liu Wanyun stopped making a fuss, closed her eyes and leaned on Dong Ge's shoulder to take a nap.
Shen Chaodong also closed his eyes, but he didn't fall asleep. He was thinking about the last time Wanyun had her period. After calculating, it should come again in the next two days.
This person has always been gentle and lovely, but every time she has her period, she will act unreasonably for a while!
The two of them took a nap this time and overslept, and didn't even have breakfast.
Then, Madam Shen came to Dongyuan——
