Chapter 210 Guess
"Don't worry, we won't go out." Du Fangling promised quickly.

She is the most sensitive and courageous.In the past, she might not have taken it seriously when Chen said these words.But ever since she was almost sold by Du Yunnian, every time she thought of the tragic experiences of those girls who were sold, she felt a wave of fear.So she completely listened to Chen's words.

Du Fangfei and Du Fanghui also nodded.

Both of them are honest, just work blindly, and rarely think about it.He usually doesn't go out when he has nothing to do, let alone Chen's beating.

Seeing that the three daughters had listened to the words, Chen finally felt relieved.

At night, when Du Jinning came back with Xu Chengyuan, Mrs. Chen didn't mention it.It wasn't until Xu's mother and son left that she told Du Jinning about the matter and asked, "Who do you think it would be?"

Du Jinning thought about the time Sister-in-law Yang said about meeting Mrs. Song for the first time, and he had a certain guess in his mind.

"It may be the Yan family." She said, "This time they lost to the head of the mountain because of me, and they must want to get back from me."

"How to find it? What does it have to do with your eldest sister?" Chen asked nervously.

A family like them, compared to a family like the Yan family, is like that ants, letting others figure it out.

Du Jinning hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, they don't dare to do anything to us. After all, there is still a Guan family, and they dare not mess with Qi Muyuan's grandfather. At most, they will use some small tricks, such as at the elder sister's wedding. Make an article on it."

"How to make a fuss?" Chen was not comforted, and became more and more anxious. She patted the table and said, "That damn girl, why is she unwilling to have such a good marriage with the Xu family? I don't know what she thinks. If you are engaged to the Xu family, are you afraid that the Yan family will play tricks?" She stood up and said, "No, I will go to your Aunt Xu now and discuss with her about the engagement of the two families. In other words, it's not up to that dead girl to decide on her own."

"It's also good to be engaged." Du Jinning nodded.

Originally, marriage was free, but Du Fangfei was unwilling at the beginning, even though she thought the Xu family's mother and son were good, she did not force Du Fangfei.Between people, it depends on fate. If fate is not reached, it is not beautiful to force nature.

But according to her observations these two days, Du Fangfei is not without feelings for Xu Chengyuan, Xu Chengyuan's feelings for Du Fangfei are even more obvious, it can be seen that both parties have intentions.If there is no such thing as the Yan family, it would be a matter of course for them to succeed.But with the Yan family intervening, it's better to get engaged earlier to avoid complications.

Seeing that Mrs. Chen was about to go out, Du Jinning hurriedly held her back: "It's not too late. Tomorrow, Aunt Xu will come tomorrow, and you can tell her about it. Let's talk about it now, but let their mother and child have children." Doubt. Tomorrow, you just said that after these two days of getting along, you think Xu Chengyuan is good, so after much deliberation, you decided to agree to this marriage. Don't mention anything else. "

Only then did Chen calm down, and nodded: "That's good."

"As long as you don't go out and don't agree to anything others say, nothing will happen." Du Jinning reassured.

"I see."

……

Let's talk about Mrs. Song's side, and told Yan Cen about the situation after returning.

Yan Cen immediately became annoyed, and felt that Mrs. Song was not good at doing things: "If you don't go, will you ask someone else? If she really doesn't go out, you can think of a way, such as buying someone so that she can coax the eldest sister of the Du family out .”

"Ah, Young Master Yan, you said it lightly." Mrs. Song had been exposed to the cold wind for several days. If it wasn't for Yinzi's sake, she would have given up. I don’t know how vigilant the people in the village are. I inquired a little about the whereabouts of Sister Du, and those people looked at me wrongly, as if I was a human trafficker. If I hadn’t been alert and stopped in time, I’m afraid at this time He was caught and taken to the Yamen."

Yan Cen was anxious and couldn't sit still, so he stood up and walked around the room a few times, saying, "Then what should I do?"

Mrs. Song didn't know the grievances between Yan Cen and Du Jinning. In her view, this matter was very simple, and she said: "Actually, on your terms, Young Master Yan, as long as you come to propose marriage, the Du family will not refuse. Even if you don't agree for a while , I can also go to his house and walk around, a lot of persuasion, right? We are like headless chickens now, we have nowhere to talk, but people know nothing about us. Isn’t the matter frozen and unable to move forward? Done?"

Seeing that Yan Cen hesitated and didn't make a sound, she said again: "Besides, that elder sister Du has outstanding looks and is not too young. It's time to discuss marriage. If you keep procrastinating like this, Young Master Yan, maybe the other end will be booked." Kiss."

Yan Cen couldn't do anything either.He can't ask someone to go to Du's house to tie up the eldest sister of Du's family, can he?There is no other way.For an errand in the academy, he didn't want to do it to the limit, making the Guan family unbearable and ruining his future by taking action.At that time, Yan Songtao will not protect him.

"Okay, you go to propose marriage." He gritted his teeth, "However, don't say my name first, just say that because I am a teacher in the academy, it is inconvenient to reveal my name first. After all, Xiaolang of the Du family is studying in the academy. No, it would be embarrassing for teachers and students to meet. If they are willing, it will not be too late to say their names."

"Uh, isn't this bad?" Mrs. Song felt that it was inappropriate.Which mother would agree to a marriage without even knowing the names of her relatives?Unless it's the stepmother.Anyway, if it were her, she would not agree to this marriage.

Yan Cen had no choice but to explain: "Xiaolang from the Du family is studying in the academy, and I am his teacher. That kid is mischievous, and I have scolded him a few times for this. I am afraid that he will hate me and spoil my good deeds." .”

"So that's how it is." Mrs. Song felt relieved immediately, "That's fine, I'll go to Du's house tomorrow morning, first mention it for you, and see the situation."

Yan Cen looked at the time of day: "It's only noon now, why don't you go there now?"

Mrs. Song walked for a while and was very tired. She didn't want to move after sitting down.

She waved her hand and said, "You don't know. There is a woman in the city. I don't know if she goes to Du's house to help or something. She goes to Du's house every afternoon and doesn't go home until dark. Proposing a marriage is a matter of It's not appropriate to have outsiders around, it's better to wait until tomorrow morning, when there is no one in the Du family, and then go when you are old, so you can talk more leisurely in time."

Yan Cen made sense after thinking about it, so he bowed to Mrs. Song: "In this case, I will leave it all to Mrs. Song."

Afraid that Mrs. Song would not do her best, he said again: "If Mrs. Song can help me negotiate this marriage, in addition to the five liang of silver promised earlier, I will promise another two liang of silver."

Mrs. Song immediately beamed with joy, and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best."

If she said goodbye to others, if she could get a tael of silver as a thank you gift, it would be quite generous. Yan Cen had more than seven taels of thank you at once, so she would grit her teeth and get things done no matter what.
