Chapter 994: I'm Here for Marriage (1)
How could he not have the guts to come to his future brother-in-law’s house to discuss knowledge?
He discussed with Jiang Huaian at the Jiang residence until night, and Jiang Huaian was about to send him out.
Coincidentally, the servant girls of the residence came to call for dinner.
“Young Master Zheng, why don’t you have a meal at the manor?” Jiang Huaian asked. Only the heavens knew that Jiang Huaian was just saying it casually. He was just being polite.
Zheng w.a.n. gshu, who had one foot out of the door, paused.
Jiang Huaian’s eyelids fluttered, and he saw him take back one of his feet.
“Since Young Master Jiang has invited me, I’ll accept your invitation.” He turned to himself.
Jiang Huaian thought,[Actually, I was just being polite!]
The news that Young Master Zheng had come to the manor for a meal was quickly sent back to the backyard.
Madam Wen immediately arranged a few more dishes and then separated the tables for the men and women.
Zheng w.a.n. gshu tidied up his clothes as he walked, feeling a bit nervous.
Jiang Huaian was speechless. This fellow had been chatting with him in the study just now, and he was quite knowledgeable. Why was she so nervous like she was meeting her mother-in-law for the first time?
When they reached the dining room, a curtain had been drawn in the middle.
The womenfolk sat at one table inside while the men sat at the other table outside.
The Jiang family had a simple population. The women at the table only had Madam Wen, Madam Xia, and Jiang Huailu.
The table outside was Jiang Huailin, Jiang Huaian, and Zheng w.a.n. gshu.
“This is Young Master Zheng’s first time coming back to the residence. It’s just a simple meal. Young Master Zheng, please don’t mind.” Madam Xia said with a smile. The Zheng family was a top celebrity in the capital. Although the Jiang family had a foundation, the Jiang family had already been defeated back then.
The current Jiang family was at most a nouveau riche.
Compared to the Zheng family, there was still a huge gap.
Zheng w.a.n. gshu’s ears were red and his eyes secretly glanced at the curtain.
There was a little girl sitting upright inside. She was his confidante.
Zheng w. a.n. gshu stood up in a panic and returned a polite bow to Madam Xia. Madam Xia glanced at it and nodded.
Jiang Huaian had a feeling that Young Master Zheng’s entire body was tense and seemed very nervous.
At this moment, the dishes had not been served yet. The servant girl poured a cup of tea for everyone.
“Why is Young Master Zheng blushing? We scholars have to be more thick-skinned. Otherwise, we will suffer if we fight with those old fools in the court.” Jiang Huaian said with a smile, thinking that he was a little shy.
“Men are more courageous.” Jiang Huaian patted him on the shoulder.
“It’s probably because he hasn’t married yet,” said Madam Xia from behind the curtain. Huai ‘an, you’re also a quiet person without a wife. You don’t like to talk and are thin-skinned. It’ll be fine when you have a wife and concubine.”
Zheng w.a.n. gshu lowered his head, his lips slightly curved.
“Wangshu hasn’t thought about this matter. He hasn’t become famous yet, and marrying will only make his wife suffer. If you have any achievements in the future, it’s fine if you have a wife.”
Zheng w. a.n. gshu’s words made Madam Xia sit up straight.
“The zither and lyre are harmonious, the red sleeves add fragrance, and the husband and wife follow. Just one person is enough.” Zheng w.a.n. gshu resisted looking behind the curtain.
“Does Young Master Zheng really think so?” Madam Xia could not help but ask.
Zheng w. a.n. gshu nodded solemnly. It’s just that Wangshu hasn’t met a girl he likes.”
“If Jiang Huai has a suitable girl, he can be Wangshu’s matchmaker.” Zheng w.a.n. gshu joked.
“Wangshu is the son of the Zheng family, sixteen this year. I have bought some private houses and shops and will hand them over to Furen to manage in the future.” Zheng w.a.n. gshu reported his conditions with a red face.
Jiang Huaian was dumbfounded.
No, Brother Zheng, something is wrong!
Why did he get married after a meal?
