Chapter two hundred and ninety first meal(1/2)
Liu Yuan went over and took a lot of things by himself. Both Father Zhang and Aunt Zhang were very surprised.
Aunt Zhang took a casual look and saw that there were several pieces of fabric inside, which showed that this wedding gift was quite heavy.
"Mr. Liu, no, Yu An, why did you bring so many things when you proposed marriage?" Aunt Zhang said with a smile.
In fact, she was very happy. Now she didn't even need to mention it. This person took the initiative to give such a heavy gift.
"There are no elders in Yu'an's family, and the etiquette is a little short, so I don't know what to give. These are just small things. I just hope that Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang won't dislike it and agree to my proposal..."
Liu Yu'an cupped his hands.
His expression was indifferent, and he was just trying to be polite, but he just directly asked them to agree, and it was impossible to give any reasons.
Today's marriage proposal was something everyone knew very well, and he couldn't be allowed to say things like he liked this woman and wanted to marry her against his will.
"Okay, let's accept this gift. Today, Yuan will have a meal at our house. The marriage proposal will be considered successful. Then we can choose a date and you can get married!" said Zhang Lao.
"Okay." Liu Yu'an nodded.
He has been here today, and there is no way he can go back now. That would not be a slap in the face!
When Zhenniang knew Liu Yu'an was coming, she felt happy. He came so early, which showed that he still cared about this matter.
She quickly got up and went to freshen up in front of the mirror. Her face looked a little ugly, so she put on another layer of rouge, which added a bit of color.
Zhenniang's legs still hurt a little, but she felt very sweet, so she could bear it and walked to the lobby in small steps.
"Mr. Liu..." Zhenniang greeted shyly.
When Liu Yu'an saw Zhen Niang, he just felt disgusted in his heart. It was not easy for him to have an attack at other people's homes now, so he nodded lightly.
Zhen Niang froze on the spot, but she felt that this should be the case. She had done such a thing to Mr. Liu, and it was normal for him to be colder now.
Originally, Aunt Zhang was watching and felt that Liu Yuan was too cold towards Zhenniang, but thinking of what happened yesterday, she sighed and said nothing.
Father Zhang and Liu Yuan were sitting here, and Aunt Zhang pulled Zhenniang over to cook.
Father Zhang didn't know what to say for a while. Although Liu Yu'an had moved here for a while, they were really not familiar with him. In addition to knowing that he was a gentleman, he seemed to be the only one in the family.
They all know nothing about it.
"Yu An, as Zhen Niang's father, although what happened yesterday was because we failed to educate Zhen Niang well and we are sorry for you, I still want to ask you to take care of our Zhen Niang in the future. Since you have already
Getting married takes a lifetime, but don't let the two of you just be together because of the initial rift..."
Father Zhang never likes to talk, but he really loves this girl. Even if she behaves in such a shameless manner, he still has to plead for her. Marrying is a lifelong matter, and if two people hurt each other throughout their lives,
Then what a sad day it must be!
"I understand. Since I plan to marry Miss Zhang, I will not abuse her." Liu Yu'an promised.
He is not that kind of person. Although he doesn't like that woman and hates her in his heart, he still won't beat or scold a woman, let alone abuse her. He has no shortage of money and will provide it to support her.
Father Zhang always felt that Liu Yuan's understanding was wrong. He did not doubt that he would abuse their Zhenniang, but was afraid that he would neglect Zhenniang. However, he could not say this, so he could only swallow it.
"By the way, after so long, I still don't know where Yu'an's family is from. Are there any relatives in the family?" asked Father Zhang.
"My ancestral home is Sushan, and there are no other branches. I am the only one in this lineage, so I have no relatives in my family." Liu Yu'an replied.
Father Zhang nodded and asked some more questions, but they were all simple questions, just for a basic understanding and would not touch sensitive topics.
Liu Yu'an didn't think this question was inappropriate, so he answered it one by one.
On the other side, Aunt Zhang has also prepared lunch with Zhen Niang. They still have a lot of dishes at home, including both meat and vegetables, so it is enough to cook a few more.
"Mr. Liu came here today, but he brought a lot of gifts, which shows that he takes it seriously."
Seeing that Zhenniang looked sad, Aunt Zhang comforted her.
"But he is still angry with me. When I greeted him at our house today, he was also cold and indifferent. It can be seen that when we are alone in the future, he will definitely be even colder..." When Zhen Niang thought of this, her voice became choked up.
.
"Who else can you blame for this? This is not something you did yourself. If it were someone who drugged you and forced you to marry him, it would be fine if you didn't hate him to death. How could you still smile at each other?" Aunt Zhang didn't.
Said angrily.
Zhenniang fell silent. It was indeed her fault, and it was understandable that Mr. Liu treated her like this.
"But, what should I do in the future? We have to live together for a lifetime, and we can't just live like this... If he treats me with such a cold face all his life, then I would rather not live!" Zhenniang cried.
.
"Everything is life-or-death, why do you keep a cold face all your life! You are also a woman after all. You should be nicer to him, ask for help, and care about him at all times. He is not made of stone. He can continue to do so as time passes.
With a cold face? Also, once a man tastes the sweetness, how can he quit..." Aunt Zhang taught.
Zhen Niang's face turned red after hearing this, and she felt very sweet in her heart. Her mother was right, the days are still long! Even if he is a stone, she can warm him up!
"Okay, okay, just do what mother said. No matter how cold-tempered he is, one month will not make a year. This life is so long. As long as you persist and don't make mistakes, you will always be able to see the moon.
It's clear." Aunt Zhang comforted her.
"Mom has her own ideas, I will listen to her." Zhenniang then broke down in tears and smiled.
"One more thing, don't do such a thing again in the future, and don't associate with that Jin'er anymore. She is now a member of Chunfeng Tower, and it will be the same as before. Don't associate with her.
, so as not to be taught bad things by her, do you hear that?" Aunt Zhang said, glaring at Zhenniang.
Zhen Niang felt a little guilty. At this time, her mother also thought that this idea was taught to her by Jin'er. She could only lower her head and quickly nodded in agreement.
"Okay, hurry up and wash the dishes. Let's cook a few more dishes. I don't know what Mr. Liu likes to eat."
"He doesn't have any particular favorite food, he just likes lighter dishes, not too sweet or too spicy," Zhenniang said.
Aunt Zhang glared at Zhen Niang, thinking that this girl is not married yet! She already has a husband in her heart, and she even knows what he likes to eat.
"You know very well that this girl like you has already fallen in love with Mr. Liu, right?" The more Aunt Zhang thought about it, the more she felt this was the case.
"I... it didn't take long. I just saw people like Mr. Liu and felt that other men were always inferior to him, so I paid more attention to him and slowly discovered some of his preferences..." Zhenniang said shyly
said.
"You girl, you've been keeping it secret for so long. You've kept me and your father in the dark. But you also have good taste. This Mr. Liu is no ordinary person. If it weren't for... our eight poles would be enough."
It's impossible." Aunt Zhang sighed.
Zhenniang lowered her head, knowing in her heart that she resorted to such a method, otherwise she would never marry him.
The food was ready, and even Zhang Dabao, who was playing outside, came back. Seeing Liu Yuan at their home, he felt very panicked. Could it be that his father had already invited Mr. Liu?
But the day to go to school hasn’t come yet! Isn’t it still more than a month away?
"What are you doing here in a daze? When someone comes to the house, you kid doesn't even say hello. You are even more unruly!" Father Zhang scolded.
"Hello, Mr. Liu." Zhang Dabao greeted quickly.
He was so scared! His mother was not here, there were only his father and Mr. Liu in the room, each one was more terrifying than the other, and his little heart was trembling!
"I just said that I would send you to school in the spring. Now your brother-in-law happens to be here, but you have to be strict with you and discipline you for being disobedient!" Father Zhang scolded.
He really felt that he was a failure. He had raised two children, and the younger son had never been obedient. He originally thought he had an obedient daughter, but who knew that the daughter would do something like that again.
What evil has he done? He has raised two disobedient children!
"Sister...brother-in-law?" Zhang Dabao was even more surprised.
When did Mr. Liu become his brother-in-law? Did he miss something?
"Well, Mr. Liu will be your brother-in-law from now on. You can't embarrass your brother-in-law when you go to school, do you hear me?" asked Father Zhang.
"I...I heard it!" Zhang Dabao quickly replied.
Oh my god! He is going to be doomed. He is already afraid of going to school. If Mr. Liu becomes his brother-in-law, he will be doomed even more!
Zhang Dabao is still young. He just feels that if Mr. Liu becomes his brother-in-law, he will definitely not be able to be lazy in the future. He just feels that his life will definitely be difficult in the future.
As for those family backgrounds and so on, he didn't understand them at all, how could he think of them.
When the food was ready, Aunt Zhang hurriedly called for dinner, and Zhenniang also helped with the dishes and chopsticks. During the meal, Aunt Zhang specially arranged for the two of them to sit together, but Liu Yu'an did not even look at Zhenniang.
Zhenniang looked at Liu Yu'an aggrievedly, and then found that he still couldn't take his eyes away from her, so she lowered her head in embarrassment and ate.
Aunt Zhang always talked a lot, so she took the initiative to ask Liu Yuan questions.
"Yu An, my family used to have a good relationship with your Aunt Tang's family. I sometimes heard her talk about you. I heard that you were very good at studying back then. Later, you won the imperial examination and ranked high. You also went to
He moved to the capital to serve as an official..." Aunt Zhang praised.
Liu Yu'an just smiled lightly, eating his meal without saying anything.
"Then why don't you work as an official in the capital and instead come to our town? It doesn't mean that our town is not good. No matter how good it is, it can't be as good as the capital!"
As soon as Aunt Zhang asked this question, Father Zhang frowned. What nonsense was this woman talking about? This is other people's business. Why is she so curious!
And she thought Liu Yuan would be her son-in-law from now on, so she was so rude, but she didn't know how this marriage came about?
Liu Yuan also paused, but still answered politely.
"It's just that I don't like officialdom, and I prefer a more peaceful life. Uncle Tang used to be my husband. After he passed away, it was right for me to continue opening the school." Liu Yu'an replied.
Aunt Zhang was still dissatisfied with the answer and wanted to ask more questions, but Father Zhang coughed and then glared at her.
Aunt Zhang also realized that this question didn't seem to be a good topic, so she quickly invited Liu Yu'an to eat.
To be continued...
