Mrs. Zong’s nephew is Zhang Lian, who is the grandson of her cousin. She is seventeen years old this year and has a reputation as a Juren. She ended up in May’s exam, but unfortunately she failed the exam. At this age, it is definitely impossible for her to give up and continue the exam.

Jiang Fangfei said: "Zhang Lian came to Beijing to live in Zong's family for more than half a year in September last year. The servants of Zong's family also had a good evaluation of him. He said that he had a good temper and was very polite, and often went to pay tribute to Mrs. Zong."

"What else?"

Jiang Fangfei shook his head and said, "I just found out about these things, no matter how many there are, there will be nothing."

Zhang Lian is not from Beijing and he is from Shanxi. If you want to find out his background, you must go to Shanxi.

Qingshu asked, "How about your hobbies?"

Jiang Fangfei shook his head and said, "I like to eat fragrant pastries in the garden, especially the osmanthus cakes, so I don't know anything else."

Qingshu said softly: "The pastries in Xiangmanyuan?"

"Miss, the Zhang family is also a big family in Linzhou, Shanxi. Zhang Lian and his team are very wealthy. Zhang Lian is a legitimate child, so the food, clothing and expenses at home must be good."

“Is there anything else?”

Jiang Fangfei shook his head and said, "That's all for the time being."

Mrs. Zong really wanted to match this marriage, and saw that there was no movement from the Gu family.

Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "Old sister, I also want to kiss you. But you also know that Qingshu is the one who decides the matter at home now, so she has to decide."

She didn't think there was anything wrong with Qingshu's. When the child grew up, they wanted them to establish a family. And Qingshu had the final say in their family a long time ago.

Mrs. Zong said, "Sanniang, Lian'er's child is really good, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it to you."

"He has lived in our Zong family for more than half a year and came to pay my respects to me sooner or later. I was still afraid that he would not allow him to come after delaying his studies, so he changed to the 15th day of the lunar month to pay my respects to me."

This alone made Mrs. Gu very fond of it. The filial and polite children must be nowhere short of being.

Mrs. Zong said, "I really like the child An'an, so I want to match them."

Then, she talked about Zhang Lian’s many advantages.

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu was very moved and said, "I know, I will tell her when Qingshu comes back. After receiving her promise, I will reply to you immediately."

Mrs. Zong was not angry, but nodded instead: "Marriage is about a woman's life, so it's time to be cautious."

After saying that, she took the initiative to change the topic: "Wanyue wrote to me that she would come to Beijing after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and said that her mother-in-law and Xiang Di would come too. Don't you know how happy I was to see this letter! Last time she came back, or when her father passed away, she hadn't seen her for several years."

Mrs. Gu resonated with this: "I haven't seen Xiaoxian for a year. But as long as they live well, we don't have to worry."

Mrs. Zong smiled and said, "Xiang Di is a generous mother, who treats her very well, and her son and daughter-in-law are also filial. I just miss her, and there is nothing else to worry about."

Zong's marriage is well in this life, and he never worrys anything except that he can't see Mrs. Zong worrying about anything else.

The two of them said one by one, and after a long time, Mrs. Zong went back.

When Qingshu came back from the yamen in the evening, Mrs. Gu said to him: "Qingshu, Zhang Lian's child is outstanding in appearance and knowledgeable, and has a gentle temperament. An An has a pretty good temper and should be matched with a good temper. I think this child is very suitable."

Qingshu asked in surprise: "Grandma, have you seen this Zhang Lian?"

When Qingshu heard these things all said by Mrs. Zong, he felt helpless: "Grandma, seeing them is real, hearing them is empty, why do you have never seen them before? Is she sure that what she said is true?"

Mrs. Gu said with a bitter face: "I want to see you, but didn't you say you could only see you without finding out clearly?"

She didn't dare to see Qingshu without Qingshu. The last incident scared Mrs. Gu, so she subconsciously didn't want to make Qingshu angry.

Qingshu was amused and cried, and said, "I just said that I could not let An An go to see him before I found out. You are an elder and you will see him as soon as you want."

Mrs. Gu was very happy: "Okay, I will go to see the child tomorrow."

Before she made sure, she didn't want An An to know about these things, so she didn't tell An An for the time being.

The next day, Mrs. Gu went to Zong's family. After she came back, she praised Zhang Lian: "Qingshu, the child is not only good-looking but also very caring, and is also very well-educated."

Qingshu was a little hesitant.

Mrs. Gu said, "This is An An's business after all, let's ask her too!"

Qingshu hesitated and agreed.

After An An knew about it, he blushed and said, "Grandma, I want to meet you first before talking."

The main reason is that Zhang Lian fully meets her conditions, so she is a little moved.

Qingshu didn't say anything.

Seeing this, An An asked, "Sister, what's wrong? What are you still in doubt?"

Qingshu said: "We don't know anything about his situation in Shanxi. I'm not relieved just by the evaluation of the Zong family and his performance."

Mrs. Gu said: "The two families have been in contact for so many years, Mrs. Zong will not coax us."

Qingshu shook his head and said, "I believe this. Mrs. Zong must have thought Zhang Lian was good and wanted to match him and An An. But what about Zhang Lian? What he wants to show is pretending, what should we do then?"

"Then you can't send someone to Shanxi to find out his details? But this will take too much time." Mrs. Gu said: "Let An An meet Zhang Lian first. If you think it's good, send someone to inquire."

An An was reluctant: "Grandma, if I think he is good when I see him, I will find out the problem when I find it, then wouldn't I be happy in vain?"

Mrs. Gu was a little irritated: "This is not OK, that is not OK, do you want me to refuse tomorrow?"

Qingshu thought for a while and said, "Grandma, this matter is actually easy to deal with. Let Jingen find him to have a meal and chat with him, and he will probably know what kind of temperament he is."

"What if Jingnen agreed?"

Qingshu smiled and said, "Jingen thinks that people are good, so there is definitely no problem. When it comes to people, Jingen is much better than me."

Mrs. Gu said, "Okay, I'll go to the Zong family tomorrow to say it."

An An shook his head and said, "Zhang Lian knew he was afraid he would be prepared. Only by surprise could he know his true thoughts."

Qingshu was very happy to see her calmness. It seems that the teachings of these years have not been in vain. We must remain calm in major events in life, otherwise one who is accidentally ruined will be the rest of our life.

Mrs. Gu felt that this was right: "Then please ask Jingen to arrange it quickly, so I can reply to the Zong family earlier."

Whether they agree or refuse, they have to reply to the Zong family earlier.

Qingshu nodded and said, "I'll write him a letter now."
