Chapter 396 - 396: Hard to Marry



Along the way, Zhou Jia often chatted with Fan Wenzheng. Fan Wenzheng also liked to talk to Zhou Jia. After everyone became familiar with each other, Zhou Jia intentionally mentioned to Fan Wen that he had a good-looking brother-in-law at home. He even said that his in-laws were no longer around. In order to find a good wife for his brother-in-law, he and his wife were worried sick.

However, Fan Wenzheng said that it was easy to find a wife, but not a son-in-law. If they pick the wrong candidate, it might even harm his daughter for the rest of her life.

Zhou Jia felt that it was troublesome if one’s wife didn’t please him. It would be just like how his grandfather and his wife didn’t look like husband and wife but were more like enemies. In order to fight with his grandfather, the old lady harmed her descendants and ruined the Zhou family.

After staying at the posthouse that day, Fan Wenzheng said to his daughter in private, “Wanwan (Fan Mingfang’s nickname), Lord Zhou has mentioned to me a few times about his brother-in-law… Do you think he wants to set up a match between his brother-in-law and you? Lord Zhou has a good official life and Madam is reasonable. If his family has that intention, we’ll do it when we reach the capital.”

When Fan Mingfang heard this, she smiled reproachfully. “Father, you’re thinking too much! Everyone has walked so far together and has said most of what needs to be said. You can only talk about the children at home after that.”

Fan Wenzheng nodded. “What you said makes sense, but I still feel that Lord

Zhou has the intention to connect with us through marriage. If that’s the case, I think it’s good. They’re not locals of the capital, so they shouldn’t know those rumors. Sigh! It’s all Father’s fault. Why did he arrange a marriage for you? Now you have the reputation of bringing bad luck to your husband. Otherwise, with my Wanwan’s character and looks…”

“Father.” Fan Mingfang interrupted Fan Wenzheng. Looking at his apologetic expression, she comforted him. “Don’t entertain such thoughts. I don’t want a marriage that is established through scamming. Even if I marry over, I will be looked down on when others find out eventually. Besides, that was not your fault. What happened with the Feng family is not something you can control. Isn’t it good for me to be like this? Father and Mother dote on me, and my brother is close to me. Our family is better than anything else. Those troublesome things are in the past. Don’t take it to heart.”

Fan Wenzheng looked at his obedient and sensible daughter and nodded in relief. “Alright, Father, don’t take it to heart. My Wanwan is good-looking, has a good character, and is pure. She will definitely meet good a good man.”

The nanny was right. In the eyes of her parents, their child was good no matter what, even the child’s cries were louder than those of others. Fan Mingfang smiled at the thought. “Father, we’re only a few days away from the capital.

Rest well. I’ll go back to my room to sleep.”

“Go!” Fan Wenzheng looked at his daughter’s back and said to himself,” At present, we are still here. Lin’er is still young. When he reaches the marriageable age in a few years, Wanwan won’t be betrothed to anyone yet. How can she stand those rumors? What if Lin’er’s wife despises Wanwan for being an old girl who can’t get married and vents her anger on her?” Thinking of this, Fan Wenzheng’s heart ached. “No, I have to think of a way to find out what Lord Zhou means. Why don’t I…’

Zhou Jia also told Li Yu about Fan Mingfang not being engaged. “Yu’er, I think

Lord Fan is willing to discuss the match with us.”

Li Yu and Fan Mingfang interacted a few more times. She felt that this girl was steady and generous, and she was even more satisfied. Sometimes, she felt that she had been here for a long time. She seemed to feel that it was not bad for couples to meet in private and let the elders come forward to set the marriage alliance.

“It’s good that she’s not engaged. When you return to the capital, find someone to make matchmake and let the two children meet before settling the marriage for Ah Qing.”

Zhou Jia nodded and said to Li Yu, “Yu’er, I think you’re prone to sleepiness these days. Are you pregnant? I’ve taken your pulse a few times, but I can’t be sure. I want to ask Sir to take a look at you. Is that okay?”

Li Yu was also looking forward to it. Yang’er was too lonely. She smiled and said, “Is that so? I just feel that I get tired easily these days. Please let Sir take my pulse.”

The couple went to Mr. Wen’s room. Zhou Jia told Mr. Wen about it. Mr. Wen happily took out his pulse pillow and began to take Li Yu’s pulse. After a while, he smiled at the two of them. “Yes, but it’s still early. You have to pay more attention to the road ahead. Xiaoyu, sleep if you want and eat as much as possible. We’re about to reach the capital and the road is peaceful. Don’t worry anymore.”

The couple nodded happily when they heard that. Yangyang looked at the two of them. “Father, Mother, am I going to be an older brother?”

“Yes!” Li Yu smiled and patted Yangyang’s butt. “Little smart, how do you know everything?”

“I read Grandmaster’s medical book! ” Yangyang smiled proudly. Suddenly, he sighed like an adult. “Sigh! I wonder if Brother Seven Pounds’ sister is out?” Mr. Wen smiled and nodded. “It’s out, but it’s not a sister. It’s a baby brother.”

Yangyang’s eyes widened as he looked at Mr. Wen in surprise. “Wow! Grandmaster is so powerful. You even know that it’s a younger brother from so far away.”

Zhou Jia smiled and shook his head. “Brat, when he was in Yunzhou,

Grandmaster took Auntie Yu’s pulse, so he knew it was a younger brother.”

When Yangyang heard this, her eyes darted around. He pulled Mr. Wen’s arm and shook it back and forth. “Grandmaster, you took Mother’s pulse just now. Grandmaster, tell me, is it a younger brother or sister hiding in my mother’s stomach?”

Mr. Wen and Li Yu laughed out loud when they heard that. Zhou Jia picked up Yangyang. “Good son, Grandmaster doesn’t know now. He won’t know for a few months. Alright, let’s go back and let Grandmaster rest.”

Following that, Zhou Jia was very careful with Li Yu along the way. On the way, he kept instructing Tiezhu to drive slower and get Old Madam Liu to make soup for Li Yu with a mud stove to improve her nutrition. Old Madam Liu, Aunt Zhang, and the others also sensed it and guessed that Li Yu was pregnant. They changed their methods to make soup for Li Yu.

Fan Wenzheng only found an opportunity to play chess and chat with Zhou Jia when he was about to reach the capital.

After one round, Fan Wenzheng said to Zhou Jia, “Brother Zhou, I have a relative’s daughter who is good-looking. When she was young, her muddle-headed father betrothed her to the son of his classmate. Unexpectedly, the son of that classmate’s good friend was seriously ill when he was 14 years old and left. The wife of my classmate asked my relative to marry her daughter to his family to observe the rites for her son. After being rejected by my relative, the two families became enemies.”

“That woman and her relatives spread rumors everywhere that my relative’s daughter is unfaithful and a jinx. She said my relative’s daughter jinxed her son to death, but she’s still unwilling to observe the rules for her son. As long as someone comes to propose marriage, she will cause trouble, causing that daughter to be unable to establish herself locally. She can only hide far away.”

Zhou Jia looked at Fan Wenzheng and knew that he was talking about his own family. He really felt that it was not that girl’s fault. He felt that what he said was nonsense..
