Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 186
It's just that there are some things that Chu Yan can't say.

Coincidentally, while this room was talking, there was a commotion in the yard of the other room. Chu Yan called the young man to ask, and the young man replied: "If you want to answer the eldest son, the Li family sent a matchmaker to marry our girl. The old lady is talking in the front hall!"

"The Li family?"

There are quite a few people with the surname Li in the capital, but they are all headed by the prince’s ancestral family, and the rest are offshoots, and the Li family is one of the four great families. It’s just that since Queen Li left, it has lost its former glory. Xishan, just relying on the name of a family, is enough to protect them for a hundred years.

Based on the status of the Chu family, they had no relationship with the Li family at all, yet the Li family wanted to marry Chu Zhi.

"Are you sure it's the Li family who came to ask for Miss Fifth?" Chu Yan asked again.

"Exactly!"

"Do you know which son of the Li family it is?"

"I heard that he is the sixth son of the third house of the Li family."

With these words, Chu Yan's face changed slightly.

After the little servant went down, Hai Xiuyan said: "The Li family is one of the four great aristocratic families, if the fifth girl can marry into the Li family, it would be great, but it happens to be the sixth son of the third family..."

Hai Xiuyan didn't mention Chu Yan, but he knew that the sixth son of the Li family was only two years older than Chu Zhi, and he also passed the Jinshi examination this year, but his ranking was relatively low, and he was worthy of being on the list, but he had a gentle personality and was easy to get along with.

It's a pity that he is a concubine.

It's not that he dislikes his humble status. After all, he is more noble than the Chu family. It's just that his father is greedy for beauty and has a temperament. He even wants to go to the maid in his son's room. His own daughter could be forced to jump into the well, and the whole three rooms were covered in smog. If Chu Zhi went there, it would be tantamount to jumping into the fire pit.

Earlier, the old lady mentioned that in such a family, I don't know which girl will suffer, but it is a pity that Mr. Li was born in such a family.

Never expected that the Li family would propose marriage to Chu Zhi.

After Chu Yan was surprised, he was furious.

This move of the Li family clearly did not take the Chu family seriously.

"Brother Yan, don't get angry," Hai Xiuyan advised, "If you can think of it, your father can also think of it. This matter is bound to fail, not to mention that the fifth girl is still young, so the marriage cannot be rushed."

Chu Yan missed Chu Zhi's marriage, exchanged pleasantries with Hai Xiuyan, and then sent him out of the mansion.

Before leaving, Hai Xiuyan suddenly smiled and said: "Thanks to the love of the Holy One, he gave me a mansion, and I will move there in ten days. Brother Yan must give me a favor."

"Naturally, Brother Hai, don't worry."

"One more thing." Hai Xiuyan said shyly, "I hope Brother Yan can bring Fifth Miss along."

After he finished this sentence, he stopped talking, but the unsatisfactory expression said everything.

Chu Yan was slightly surprised, then relieved, and said with a sincere smile: "Okay, Fifth Sister and I will go then."

After getting an affirmative answer, Hai Xiuyan left.

Looking at his back, Chu Yan pondered for a moment, then turned and returned home.

The Li family came to propose marriage, not to mention that Chu Yan felt that it was wrong, even the old lady was very angry.

Now Chu Zhi is the magistrate of Fu'an County proclaimed by the Holy Majesty, and he also receives a salary, not to mention that the eldest sister married into the Yongxing Marquis Mansion, and the eldest brother is a member of the Imperial Academy. Even the sworn brother Zhao Yufeng is now an official in the court. The point is that the future is boundless, but the Li family will make up their minds, and it is nothing more than a marriage proposal for the concubines. It is still such a family, how can the old lady not be angry.

On the contrary, Madam Cao persuaded: "If the old lady doesn't like it, just push it away. There is no reason to be angry about it. Besides, our girl is not yet 14 years old. It's really too early to say goodbye now. Don't be in a hurry. In a while."

The old lady said: "I understand the reasoning even if you don't say it. I'm just angry. They are bullying people too much. I don't even think about it. If Zhi'er married into their family, would there be any way to survive?"

What's more, with Zhi'er's current status, even Lord Hou can marry, a declining family, if not for the relationship with the prince, I'm afraid it would have disappeared long ago.

It's just that the old lady couldn't say these words.

Mammy Cao comforted her for a while, then pressed the button and didn't mention it.

Chu Zhi also heard the news, and Dong'er and Nanny Qian were also very angry, but Chu Zhi was not affected.

Dong'er said: "Girl, this is a major event in your life, why don't you be in a hurry!"

"What's the rush?" Chu Zhi said, "No matter what, grandma will look after you."

After all, grandma still expects her to join Gaomen!This alone can prevent a lot of trouble.

Qian Momo nodded: "That's true, the old lady will definitely not wrong the girl."

As soon as he said that, Chu Yan came.

Fang entered the room and asked, "Did you hear that the Li family came to propose marriage?"

"I heard." Chu Zhi said, "Grandmother already thinks I'm still young, so she wants to stay for two more years."

Chu Yan said: "I pushed it this time, what about next time? With the beginning of the Li family, more and more people will come in the future, and you can't refuse it again and again. If so, I'm afraid it will hurt your reputation and leave you behind." An evaluation with a heart higher than the sky."

Chu Zhi guessed what Chu Yan meant in an instant, and asked, "Brother has a good countermeasure?"

"It's not a good strategy." Chu Yan thought about it, and asked seriously, "What do you think of Hai Xiuyan?"

"This man is neither arrogant nor impatient, full of talent, and has great eyes. He is very suitable for the officialdom, and I am afraid that he has a bright future..." Chu Zhi suddenly understood a little bit when he said this, "Brother specifically asked me what I think of him. ..."

Chu Yan was a little embarrassed. After all, he was just an elder brother, and he couldn't say anything about his sister's marriage. It's just that his mother didn't like his sister, and his grandmother only stood in the Chu family's perspective.

He said: "Although I haven't been in contact with Hai Xiuyan for long, I can see that this person is very responsible and has a good temper. He will be a man of great fortune in the future, and he will be alone with a clean family background. You don't have to worry about getting along with your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I know, you have the grace of saving his life, if we can be together, it would be a good thing, besides..."

"Wait!" Chu Zhi listened for a while, and finally understood what Chu Yan meant, "Brother, do you want me to marry Hai Xiuyan?"

"It's not that you want to marry him." Chu Yan touched his nose, "I just think about it first, after all, you need to get along with yourself, if you get along well..."

"Brother!" Chu Zhi laughed, interrupted him, and said hastily, "How can I get involved with him!"

"I have a good relationship with him, but I absolutely have no other relationship." Besides, she didn't think about anything else about Hai Xiuyan at all.

Chu Yan said: "But I see that he is interested in you, why not?"

"You said he was interested in me?" Chu Zhi was surprised, "Impossible!"

She categorically denied that Hai Xiuyan is a person who only focuses on his career. He is very goal-oriented and knows exactly what he wants and what he doesn't want. For him, love with children will only become a burden.
