Stepmother Shaoguang

"Of course I know, isn't that still expecting me to use my own dowry to make up for it? I don't care, if the housekeeper has this intention, I will negotiate this marriage with Chang Feng no matter what."

That's the daughter of Guan's daughter from a family of hundreds of daughters, and she was born in the head of the direct branch.

He Jingsong didn't say a word, he also felt that this marriage was very good, even his own family was vaguely not good enough for him, no, just not good enough for him.

But it's not He Jingsong that people are looking at, but He Changfeng, a potential stock.

They noticed this young man as early as the Chongyang outing event last year. At that time, Guan Yi and his mother were also on the mountain, surrounded by noisy and crowded crowds. Their carriage was frightened, and they were about to take the mother and daughter in the carriage with them. Flying down the mountain, the grooms were thrown off, but it was He Changfeng who stabilized the frightened horse and saved them.

Then he continued to devote himself to rescuing other people. Guan Yi saw satisfaction in his mother's eyes at that time.

Guan Yi is eighteen this year, and the housekeeper doesn't like marrying a daughter-in-law too early. He thinks that fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys and girls are too young and unstable to start a family. It is not healthy to have children at this time.
Therefore, one of the family mottos is to restrain the young clansmen to cultivate their morality and self-cultivation, and only when they grow up can they talk about marriage.And when choosing marriages for their children, members of the Guan clan will not look too much at the family background, but at the family style and the person himself.

This point is quite similar to the He family's ancestral precepts.

Mrs. Guan asked He Jiafeng when she went back, and the result she got was obviously more satisfactory to her. She must have waited for this year to see if the other party has real talents.

Both families had this intention, so the portraits of Guan Yi and He Changfeng were both sent to each other.

Seeing the expressionless young man on the portrait, Guan Yi recognized the young man who rode the horse that day: "Mother has already taken a fancy to him."

She was talking to her personal maid, Youlan.

Youlan was not in the carriage that day, so she also came over to take a look at the portrait: "Ah, this Mr. He is good-looking and talented, much more upright than Mr. Yi yesterday. It's just that the expression on his face is a bit fierce, which makes people feel scared of."

Guan Yi smiled and said: "He is like this. When he saved us in the carriage that day, I thought he was an assassin."

Young Fu came in with soup and water, which Guan Yi drank every day. There was a wife in Guan's mansion who was very good at keeping in good health, and even the young master and girls followed her to drink a bowl of tonic soup in the afternoon since they were young, and they had formed a habit.

"Girl, Madam is calling you to come and answer." On the way here, Youfu ran into Luchun who was beside Madam Guan, so she gave her a message to save her from going around the yard at noon.

"Then you and I pack up, let's go." She thought for a while, took the portrait and walked into the main courtyard.

Mrs. Guan smiled and asked her second daughter what she thought of this He Changfeng? ,

Guan Yi just bowed his head and said back to his parents in the seat shyly: "Marriage is a big matter, but it's up to parents to decide."

Mrs. Guan had a good impression of this young man, so she turned her head to ask Mr. Guan what he thought.

Master Guan thought about it for a while, but he didn't say clearly, but he still mentioned: "The foundation of the He family is too shallow."

The family has only been an official since He Jingsong.

Mrs. Guan has already listed all eighteen generations of her family's ancestors: "Although the He family got rich late, the mother of the He family, that is, He Changfeng's grandmother, is the legitimate daughter of the Wang family. The only daughter of the direct branch, you and I have never seen the scene of Shili Hongzhuang getting married back then, but have you heard of it?
At that time, Second Master Wang had only this daughter, who was raised as the apple of his eye. Later, he adopted a nephew in the clan to take care of him. Now the Wang family's direct branches are all descendants of that adoptive son, including Wang Sanlang, who is still unmarried. "

"There is also He Changfeng's mother, Hai Shi, the head of the He family. That is Hai Shi of Dingzhou. Don't think he is a businessman. He has the ability to be the richest man in the state. Let alone you scholars don't value Huang Baizhi. Food, what kind of food and drink do you usually pay for? Tell me!"

Talking and talking, why did you still get angry?Master Guan hurriedly comforted his wife: "Yes, yes, what Madam said is very true. I will find an excuse for my husband to meet this young man tomorrow and investigate."

Mrs. Guan snorted softly, and she was satisfied.

After driving Mr. Guan out, Mrs. Guan closed the door and secretly talked to her daughter about what she had just said: "Mother values ​​their family not only because of their money and family background, but do you know that mother is most satisfied with her congratulations?" home what?"

Guan Yi shook his head, and tentatively asked, "Study?"

Mrs. Guan caressed her daughter's soft hair affectionately, and said slowly: "No, the educated mother's family is not very rich? You see, Mrs. He has never had a concubine to worry about in her life. In the future, as a mother-in-law, she will definitely not easily stuff people into your house, and second, the husband of such a family will know how to love others, because he grew up watching his parents love him."

Guan Yi didn't expect it to be such a reason, and was moved: "Thank you mother for taking the trouble to inquire about this for me."

Mrs. Guan smiled and shook her head, knowing in her heart how rare it is to have a husband's house without a concubine's room. Even she and Mr. Guan have known each other since they were young, and it has been smooth going all the way to the present. There are still two concubines in the house Woolen cloth.

Guan Yi naturally thought of those two, and called "Mother" distressedly.

"You don't have to look at me like that. Although your father went to your aunt's room a lot, but it's always more with me. I'm lucky. Just look at your third aunt."

Outside the window, the eavesdropping Master Guan blushed with shame, and hurried to the study, thinking that he would not go to the two concubines' rooms for the next two months.

Mrs. Guan, who secretly watched the movement outside the window, succeeded in killing two birds with one stone, and finally showed a satisfied smile.

He Changfeng saw Guan Yi's portrait there, and didn't say anything, neither good nor bad, but just said lightly: "It's all up to the parents."

I don't know if I remembered that I had saved Guan's mother and daughter.

Facing the unfolded portrait, Haishi was worried, and complained bitterly to He Jingsong: "Who does this child look like? He is like a gourd with a sawed mouth every day. He has no objections to Miss Li yesterday, Miss Liu the day before yesterday, and Miss Guan today." !"

"It's not good to have no opinion? If the child is too assertive, you will have a headache." He Jingsong thinks that Chang Feng's work is very reassuring, except that he talks too little.

"Aren't I afraid that he won't like it and delay the girl's life?" Haishi glared, "It's all your fault for the old He family!"

He Jingsong was wronged.

He looked left and then at the portrait, and the girl in the painting smiled sweetly, with beautiful eyes full of affection.
