But Xu Yan took Xiao Shutong to Chen's mansion.

Although my mother had already returned to Ningbo first, Xu Yan still had to tell her grandfather and uncle some other things.

After a period of hard work by Mr. Chen, the daily weaving production of the weaving yamen has gradually come to normal.

The old man finally could not keep an eye on the yamen and supervise the work day and night, but could go home and live.

When Mr. Chen learned that his grandson had arrived, he was very excited and called Xu Yan to the study alone, and even his own son Chen Zongzhi was shut down.

Seeing that his grandfather was so mysterious, Xu Yan felt it was strange.

Xu Yan patiently made a statement of listening. After listening to his grandfather's rambling conversation for a long time, he came to the point.

"Good grandson, your parents have agreed to the marriage that my grandfather told you last time."

Mr. Chen shocked Xu Yan to the point of being stunned when he opened his mouth.

Marriage? Take it seriously?

And what does my father and mother have agreed? Why didn’t he hear any news?

Oh my god, this is too scary, right?

Xu Yan didn't have any hidden illness, he just simply didn't want to get married.

After all, getting married means getting married, and many things need to be thought from an adult's perspective.

Xu Yan is now a teenager and can be fooled by making jokes and acting cute. But if he is an adult, these methods will not work.

Besides, fifteen years old is a bit too young?

Xu Yan was a little unacceptable for a moment.

"Grandpa, grandson thinks it's better to start a career and then start a family. After all, grandson has not had a fame yet, so it's better to slow down first."

Mr. Chen seemed to be ready, and squinted his eyes and said, "Good grandson, grandpa didn't ask you to get married immediately. If both families agree, you can get engaged first. You will be eighteen in three years, so there is no problem with getting married, right?"

What does it mean to be no problem?

Why does Xu Yan feel that there is no room for negotiation on this matter?

"Grandpa, it's not my grandson who doesn't want to..."

Xu Yan wanted to fight again, but his grandfather took out an envelope directly.

"It's the woman's Geng Tie inside, you have to read it first before talking about it."

"Hmm? Geng Tie?"

Even the Geng Tie is coming, my mother!

Xu Yan made a sad and angry expression, and opened the envelope with great humiliation.

He kept telling himself in his heart that he could not surrender, he could not surrender, he could not surrender!

Even if I, Xu Yan, starve to death, die of thirst, and die of poverty, I will not accept an arranged marriage!

To fight, you must fight to the end!

Xu Yan took a deep breath and pulled out the Geng Tie.

When I opened it, I looked surprised.

Huh? Hong Miaoyun? Why is it her?

Xu Yan asked quickly: "Is this Geng Tie from Miss Hong's family?"

"certainly."

"Xixi Hong Family?"

"In addition to the Hong family in Xixi, which other Hong family has a daughter who is worthy of my good grandson?"

"Hong Miaoyun..."

"What, good grandson, do you know her?"

"This...is not. This matter is long, and my grandson has a relationship with her."

Mr. Chen said proudly.

"Although the Hong family is a family of officials, we have not been above them. After all, the Hong family has not been a Jinshi for a long time, and relies on their ancestors to enjoy the name of a prominent family in Hangzhou. Their huge family spends a lot every year, so they naturally hope to marry us. This is called mutual benefit. Just relying on your knowledge, you can get fame and fortune at will. At that time, the Hong family will be above us."

I have to say that what my grandfather said makes some sense.

For such a large family that is heading for decline, how to make the family develop better is their primary consideration.

Xu Yan is now the most talented man in Ningbo, and he is a popular stock. Who is not optimistic about such potential stocks?

The Hong family also wanted to take action first. Moreover, the marriage with the Xu family also made great economic benefits, which was the best of both worlds.

Besides, the Xu family can improve the family status with such an official family. No wonder my father agreed so quickly.

As for me, it is naturally the husband and wife who follow me.

In general, the Xu family is a potential stock. As for the current family background of both parties, the Hong family is obviously stronger. The Hong family has put out an olive branch and the father sold his son, which is really funny.

If it were someone else, Xu Yan would definitely fight to the end without hesitation.

But this Hong Miaoyun... Xu Yan is indeed a little moved.

First of all, the Hong family’s daughter is very beautiful.

It is not the "beauty" of the snake essence plastic surgery face in later generations, but the clean beauty.

Oval face, phoenix eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry mouth, thin lips like cicada wings...

This is simply the traditional image of an oriental beauty!

Just now, Xu Yan pounced on her in order to save her, and the two hugged each other and rolled around for a few times. Xu Yan could be said to have observed Hong Miaoyun at close range.

Her skin is very white and delicate, even with a faint body scent.

This kind of woman is Xu Yan’s favorite type, and he can’t resist it at all!

Of course, Miss Hong's personality is also very good, she talks warmly and elegantly, giving people a feeling of being well-educated.

Maybe this is the lady of a noble family.

Of course, the most important thing is beauty...

Xu Yan felt that this matter could be talked about again.

Of course it's just something you can talk about.

Xu Yan would not get engaged to a woman who only met her for the sake of that hug.

Although this was already pretty good in the Ming Dynasty.

After all, many people have never even met before getting married...

"This, grandpa, do you think this is OK..."

Xu Yan swallowed and bargained.

"This Hong family's daughter is really good. Can you talk first and not get engaged?"

Mr. Chen's beard immediately started to blow.

"What kind of decent thing is this! Even if you don't want face, does the Hong family want face?"

Xu Yan spread his hands helplessly and said, "But once you do something like engagement, there is no room for maneuver. There is no relationship between her grandson and her for the time being, if so..."

"There is no relationship to cultivate. Your father and your mother have never even met each other before they got married. What kind of relationship do you have? Are you also respectful now?"

Mr. Chen did not give Xu Yan any face, and directly gave his father and mother an example.

Faced with this unreasonable offensive, Xu Yan was defeated.

"Geng Tie's grandson is accepted first. How many days does grandfather have to ask his grandson to consider?"

Seeing his grandson looking pitiful, Old Master Chen finally softened his heart.

"Okay, then you have to think clearly. Once you have thought clearly, write a letter, so that grandpa can negotiate with the Hong family."

For some reason, my grandfather is particularly enthusiastic about this matter. Is he trying to experience the happy life of four generations living together?

Hiss, it was so terrifying.

"Okay, my grandson promises to think about this before coming to Hangzhou next time."

Xu Yan had no choice but to leave a living for himself.

Well, when to come to Hangzhou is another matter.
