"You mean, the Sun family didn't just agree, but wanted to consider it carefully?" Mrs. Zhou was shocked when she received the reply from Chang Baolin.
She originally thought that there would be no problems with the Sun family. Who knew that their family actually said they still wanted to consider it.
"Did they not take a fancy to the south of my home?" Mrs. Zhou didn't think there was anything bad about her son.
In her heart, her son's character, appearance, and talent are all unparalleled in Changshan County.
"Madam, our family has no objections to the eldest young master. That's what Miss Sun's mother means. She is afraid that her daughter is used to being wild and does not understand the rules of your family. She will be restrained and uncomfortable after marrying.
And I am also afraid that the gap between them as a young couple is too great and they will not be able to live together." Chang Baolin's words made Mrs. Zhou's face soften.
"So you are worried about this? I have never thought about this. I originally thought that as long as Zheng Nan likes her, he will naturally treat his own wife well in the future. If you put it like this, I really have to think about it again.
I’d also like to ask Zhengnan what he thinks.”
Afterwards, she couldn't help but praise Mrs. Wang: "This mother really loves her children. Even though she is in the village, she is quite knowledgeable."
She knew that even the rich ladies in Changshan County would not think as much as Wang did if they knew that the Zhou family was coming to propose marriage. Most of them would definitely agree first and then talk about it.
Chang Baolin nodded: "Who says it's not the case! That's why she can teach a brave and capable daughter like Miss Sun."
She also had a good impression of the Wang family, so she still wanted to try her best to arrange this marriage. She also tried her best to say good things for the Wang family.
Mrs. Zhou nodded: "Well, okay, I understand. Then let's wait for a reply from her family in a few days!"
"Okay, madam, I'll go over there in a few days!" Chang Baolin replied.
"Dingxiang, you see off Sister-in-law Chang!" Mrs. Zhou then asked Aunt Dingxiang to see off the guest.
Aunt Dingxiang sent her to the second door, and then gave her a red envelope: "This is a little bit of our wife's kindness, and it can be regarded as your tea money. The gift to thank the matchmaker will be given to her when the matter is completed!"
"Oh, are you too polite, Madam? What's so embarrassing about this?" Chang Baolin quickly refused, but after all she didn't overwhelm Aunt Dingxiang, so she still accepted it with a smile.
The more polite the Zhou family's attitude is, the greater the chance of success. When Chang Baolin went to Zhu Qing's house again, his attitude became more respectful and polite.
On the other side, the movements of Aunt Dingxiang and Chang Baolin at the second gate finally fell into the eyes of interested people.
Zhou Zhengnan was sitting in the study reading, but he was unexpectedly interrupted by someone with a smile: "Cousin, why are you so serious when good things are about to happen?"
The person who said this was his cousin, Mrs. Zhou's natal nephew Bai Zhiyuan, who is now studying with him at the Zhou family.
"Cousin, what are you talking about? What good things are coming soon? I have been annoyed to death by my mother recently. Finally she stopped, and now you are annoying me again!" Looking at Bai Zhiyuan with a playful smile, Zhou Zhengnan picked him up.
Pushing away the hands on his shoulders.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you don't want to know, then forget it! I even said that I would tell you the first-hand fresh news! Don't you know it when my aunt decides to do it directly!" Bai Zhiyuan deliberately let it slip.
Thinking of his mother's abnormal behavior in the past two days, Zhou Zhengnan felt a sudden shock in his heart. Then he put down the book and looked at Bai Zhiyuan: "Tell me, what is going on?"
Bai Zhiyuan smiled proudly: "Haha, you can ask me to treat you to a meal!"
Zhou Zhengnan had a straight face: "I don't like to talk! I'll check it out myself! Humph, how can you hide my own family affairs from me?"
Seeing him like this, Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel discouraged: "Hey, you are no longer interesting! Isn't it just a meal? It's not like you can't afford it! Forget it, can't I tell you?"
Zhou Zhengnan tilted his head and looked at him: "Tell me, what is going on?"
Bai Zhiyuan reached for a tea cup on the desk, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "I just came in to see you and met Aunt Dingxiang and Chang Baolin together. I heard Aunt Dingxiang say to Chang Baolin, thank you for running errands.
.I will give her money to thank the matchmaker in the future! Isn’t it true that my aunt has already given you a good look at her? Otherwise, why would you mention the money to thank the matchmaker? "
After hearing what he said, Zhou Zhengnan frowned tightly and his face darkened.
It seems that it is true that his mother decided on the candidate for his future wife without asking him what he wanted!
Although when it comes to marriage matters, it has always been the decision of the parents to order the matchmaker. However, Zhou Zhengnan thought that his mother was clearly willing to seek his opinion before, so why did she change her mind now?
He doesn't know what kind of girl his mother has chosen for him. If he goes by his mother's standards, he really isn't interested.
Zhou Zhengnan suddenly felt that the study was a little stuffy and he couldn't sit still.
"Hey, cousin, where are you going? Why are you just leaving?" Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help but shout when he saw Zhou Zhengnan getting up and leaving.
Zhou Zhengnan was too lazy to answer him, turned around and strode away.
"Zhengnan, don't you need to practice calligraphy today? Why are you here now?" Mrs. Zhou had finished her meal and was lying on the couch to take a rest. Suddenly she saw her eldest son walking in with a sweaty face and a nervous expression.
.
"Mother, I have something to ask you!" Zhou Zhengnan glanced at the girl in Mrs. Zhou's room, and the girl immediately retreated.
"What's the matter?" It's no small matter for her son to come here so solemnly. Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but look solemn.
"Um, mother, have you decided on my marriage for me?" Zhou Zhengnan felt that it was a bit difficult for him to speak, but he had to ask.
Mrs. Zhou nodded: "Well, it's not settled yet, it still depends on what the other party wants. If their family agrees, then it can be settled."
Hearing Mrs. Zhou say this, Zhou Zhengnan's heart tightened: "Why do you need the other party's consent? What is their family's background? If this is a wealthy daughter with a bad temper, I don't want it!"
Mrs. Zhou pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't worry, it's not a wealthy family. I picked it for you exactly according to your wishes!"
Hearing that his mother actually said that he chose it according to his own wishes, Zhou Zhengnan was confused: "My wish? When did I say it? Why didn't I know?"
That day he casually said that he wanted to find someone brave and capable, but he actually didn't take it to heart.
"You kid, why are you so stubborn now? Didn't you say it yourself? Do you want to find someone capable and brave? I will follow this standard and ask Chang Baolin to ask the award-winning Miss Sun in our county. Who is her family?
What do you mean!" Mrs. Zhou looked at her son in a funny way.
