Chapter 186

Just some words can't be said by Chu Yan.

Coincidentally, there was a commotion in the yard. Chu Yan called a young man to ask. The young man replied, "if you go back to the eldest childe, the Li family sent a matchmaker to marry our girl. Now you are talking to the old lady in the front hall!"

"Li family?"

There are many people surnamed Li in the capital, but they are all led by the prince's maternal family, and the rest are collateral branches. Moreover, the Li family is one of the four aristocratic families. However, since queen Li went, they have lost their former glory. However, no matter how the sun goes down, one aristocratic family name alone is enough to protect them for a hundred years.

With the status of the Chu family, there was no relationship with the Li family at all, but the Li family asked to marry Chu Zhi, which was really surprising. It was like pie falling from the sky.

"Are you sure the Li family came to beg five girls?" Chu Yan asked again.

"Exactly!"

"Do you know which childe of the Li family?"

"I heard it was the sixth son of the third room of the Li family."

Chu Yan's face changed slightly.

After the young man went down, Hai Xiuyan said, "the Li family is one of the four aristocratic families. If the five girls can marry into the Li family, it is also excellent, but they are the six sons of the three rooms..."

Hai Xiuyan didn't say that Chu Yan also knew that the sixth childe of the Li family was only two years older than Chu Zhi. He also took the Jinshi examination this year, but he ranked lower and was worthy of being on the list, but he had a gentle personality and was very good with him.

It's a pity.

It's not that he dislikes his lowly status. After all, no matter what, he is more noble than the Chu family. However, his father is greedy for beauty, style and fluidity. Even the servant girls in his son's room can go. His mother is even more mean. Even his own daughter can force him to jump into a well. The whole three rooms are polluted. If Chu Zhi goes, it's like jumping into a fire pit.

The old lady mentioned earlier that she didn't know which girl would suffer in such a family. It's a pity that childe Li was born in such a family.

Unexpectedly, the Li family will propose marriage to Chu Zhi.

After Chu Yan was surprised, he was angry.

The move of the Li family clearly did not pay attention to the Chu family.

"Brother Yan, don't be angry," Hai Xiuyan advised. "Your father can think of anything you can think of. It's bound to be impossible. Besides, the five girls are still young, so you can't rush into marriage."

Chu Yan missed Chu Zhi's marriage, exchanged greetings with Hai Xiuyan, and sent them out of the house.

Before leaving, Hai Xiuyan suddenly said with a smile, "thanks to the love of the holy master, I have a mansion. I will move there in ten days. Brother Yan must come here."

"Naturally, brother Hai, don't worry."

"One more thing." Hai Xiuyan said with some astringency, "I hope brother Yan can bring five girls with him."

When he finished this sentence, he stopped talking, but the expression that was still in his mind explained everything.

Chu Yan was slightly surprised, then relieved and said with a sincere smile, "OK, I will go with my five younger sisters."

With a positive answer, Hai Xiuyan left now.

Looking at his back, Chu Yan thought for a moment and turned back to his house.

The Li family came to propose marriage. Don't say that Chu Yan felt wrong. Even the old lady was angry.

Now Chu Zhi is the Lord of Fu'an County granted by the emperor, and he also receives a salary. Not to mention that his elder sister married into the Yongxing Marquis house, and his elder brother worked in the Imperial Academy. Even his adoptive brother Zhao Yufeng is now an official in the dynasty. They have a bright future. The Li family will make up their mind to ask for relatives for the common people. How can the old lady not be angry if she is still such a family.

Instead, mother Cao advised, "if the old lady doesn't like it, she will push it. There's no reason to be angry about it. Moreover, our girl is less than 14 years old. It's really early to talk about marriage now. She's not in a hurry."

The old man said humanely: "I understand this reason if you don't say it. I'm just angry. They bully people. Don't think about it. If zhi'er marries them, will there be a way to live?"

Moreover, with zhi'er's current status, even the Marquis can marry. A declining aristocratic family would have disappeared if it had not been for the relationship of the prince.

But the old lady can't say these words to her mouth.

Mother Cao comforted for a while and then pressed not to mention it.

After hearing the news, Dong'Er and mammy Qian were not lightly angry, but Chu Zhi was not affected.

Dong'Er said, "girl, this is your life-long event. Don't you worry!"

"What's the hurry?" Chu Zhi said. "No matter how, grandma looks at me."

After all, grandma still expects her to join gaomen! This alone can stop a lot of trouble.

Mammy Qian nodded, "that's true. The old lady will not be wronged, girl."

Then Chu Yan came.

When Fang entered the house, he asked, "did you hear that the Li family came to propose marriage?"

"I heard." Chu Zhi said, "grandma thinks I'm still young and wants to stay for two more years."

Chu Yan said, "this time, what about the next time? With the beginning of the Li family, more and more people will come in the future. You can't refuse again and again. If so, I'm afraid it will hinder your reputation and make a high evaluation."

Chu Zhi guessed Chu Yan's meaning in an instant and asked, "my brother has a good strategy?"

"There is no good countermeasure." Chu Yan thought about it and asked seriously, "what do you think of haixiuyan?"

"He is not arrogant and impetuous, full of talent, and has great eyes. He is very suitable for officialdom. I'm afraid he has a bright future..." Chu Zhi immediately understood a point or two. "My brother specially asked me what I think of him, could it be..."

Chu Yan was a little embarrassed. After all, he was just a brother. He couldn't say anything about his sister's marriage, but his mother didn't like his sister. His grandmother only stood in the perspective of the Chu family. No one really planned for Chu Zhi, so he had to spend more time.

He said: "although I haven't been in contact with Hai Xiuyan for a long time, I can see that this person is very responsible and has a good temperament. In the future, he is a man of great fortune and alone. He has an innocent family background. You don't have to worry about getting along with his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Besides, you already know him. You have a life-saving grace to him. If you can be together, it won't be a good thing. In addition..."

"Wait!" Chu Zhi listened for a while and finally understood Chu Yan's meaning. "Brother's meaning is to ask me to marry Hai Xiuyan?"

"I don't want you to marry him." Chu Yan touched his nose. "Just think about it first. You have to get along with yourself. If you get along well..."

"Elder brother!" Chu Zhi chuckled, interrupted him, and hurriedly said, "how can I get together with him!"

"I have a good relationship with him, but I have no other feelings." besides, she never thought of anything else about Hai Xiuyan.

Chu Yan said, "but I see that he is interested in you. Why not?"

"You said he was interested in me?" Chu Zhi was surprised. "It's impossible!"

She flatly denied that Hai Xiuyan was a man who only engaged in business. He was very purposeful and knew what he wanted and didn't want. His love for children would only become a burden to him.
