Fu Jingen is also very concerned about An'an's marriage. He has also secretly paid attention to the students of Baitan Academy over the years, but unfortunately he has never found a suitable one.

After receiving Qingshu's letter, he asked Liu Heizi to inquire about Zhang Lian's preferences. Three days later, he sent Zhang Lian an invitation to invite him to dinner.

As scholars, they admire and yearn for those with outstanding talents. After receiving Fu Jingen's invitation, Zhang Lian replied immediately.

Zhang Lian lives in Zong’s family, so this matter can’t be hidden from Mrs. Zong. She reminded: “Jingen invites you to dinner this time, I’m afraid it’s also an investigation of you. Lian’er, you should show it well.”

"Grandma, don't worry, I will perform well."

The place where Fu Jingen asked Zhang Lian to eat was not a big restaurant like Fuyun Tower, but an ordinary restaurant. However, he still booked a private room.

An hour later, Fu Jingen sent Zhang Lian, who was so drunk that he was unconscious, back to the Zong family and apologized to the old lady Zong.

There is a saying that wine is like a person's character. When Mrs. Zong saw Zhang Lian's situation, he knew what Fu Jingen was thinking. This was to think that Zhang Lian's restaurant was telling the truth, but he just knew that Mrs. Zong was not worried. Because after more than half a year of observation, Zhang Lian was indeed a good child.

Mrs. Zong smiled and said, "It's not your fault, it's just that Lian'er, a child, used to be in a very good way to drink. It's too late, you can go back early, it's not good to go to the night."

After Fu Jingen left, Mrs. Zong hurriedly ordered Zhang Lian to drink sobering soup.

Mrs. Zong said, "Mom, I just saw that Jingen didn't have any expression on her face. Can this marriage be accomplished?"

Mrs. Zong laughed and said, "What else can they choose for Lian'er?"

Zhang Lian has a good family background, good looks and good reputation, so he has no worries about not being able to marry a wife with good conditions. She really likes Anan, otherwise she would not be a matchmaker.

"I always feel that this matter is a bit lingering."

Mrs. Zong looked at Zhang Lian on the bed and said, "If it doesn't work, I can only say that the two children are not destined to be together."

Fu Jingen knew that Mrs. Gu had been worried about this matter, so after leaving the Zong family, he did not return to Jinyu Hutong, but went directly to Gu's family.

When Mrs. Gu heard him come, she knew that this was a result: "Jingen, have you talked to Zhang Lian's child?"

Fu Jingen nodded: "Grandma, call Qingshu and An'an, and let them listen."

The two sisters came over soon.

Fu Jingen said: "As soon as he came, I asked the waiter to serve a pot of fishy tea, and he frowned and drank three cups."

An An asked, "Why did I drink three drinks if I don't like it?"

Fu Jingen smiled and said, "I don't want to swear my face, so I just drank it."

Mrs. Gu was very satisfied with her hearing this: "I have said it a long time ago, this child is very well-educated."

An An also thinks it's pretty good.

Qingshu's opinion was different, but he didn't say anything, but asked, "What else?"

"I found out that his taste likes salty and sour, so I ordered a sweet dish."

Mrs. Gu couldn't help but say, "You kid, why do you do anything that others don't like to eat when you invite someone to dinner?"

"Grandma, if I make friends with him, I must follow his taste. Isn't I examining him now? I imagine what his attitude is when facing things he doesn't like?"

An An asked, "Brother-in-law, has he finished eating?"

Fu Jingen nodded and said, "He doesn't like to eat, but he still eats a lot. He doesn't like to drink, but I persuaded him to drink it, and he even drank five glasses."

After drinking it, it poured.

Qingshu asked directly: "What about your conclusion?"

Fu Jingen nodded and said, "I am not bad in appearance, gentle in character, and good in knowledge."

These are consistent with what Mrs. Zong said.

Mrs. Gu said, "I said it's okay. They are all relatives, so they can't lie to us."

Qingshu did not answer her words, but continued to ask: "What else is there?"

What Fu Jingen just now was all about the surface, and these were actually virtual. Only by seeing the inner things through the surface is the real one.

Fu Jingen said: "Zhang Lian is the youngest son in the family. Because of his talent, he is very fond of studying and is highly loved and valued by his elders. In recent years, he has no need to pay attention to everything in his life."

An An didn't understand: "Brother-in-law, isn't this a good thing?"

Fu Jingen shook his head and said, "In the eyes of some people, this is a good thing, but I don't think so. Being loved and valued by elders means that the elders have high expectations for him. Then they will definitely hope that he will marry a noble daughter in a noble family, which will be helpful to his career. So I don't think all the elders of the Zhang family agree with this marriage."

Qingshu and An An looked at Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu hurriedly said, "My mother told me that this matter has been approved by Zhang Lian's father."

"What about the fuck?"

Mrs. Gu said, "He is not in good health and has never been in charge of things."

"You keep talking."

Fu Jingen said: "He devoted himself to reading the books of sages, which shows that he knows nothing about common affairs and knows nothing about the sins outside. It's okay that he has always been a mediocre person. If something happens, I think he may be unable to solve it."

Mrs. Gu said: "He is still young, and it will be enough to train for a few years."

Fu Jingen smiled and said, "He is not used to the tea I prepared for, it can be said. Everyone has different preferences. It is not that they are not well cultivated if they ask for a different kind of tea."

Few young people can bear the taste of fishy tea. It is normal for Zhang Lian to dislike it, but he endured it and drank three cups. Fu Jingen admired this.

Qingshu was very keen and said, "What you mean is that he is not actually happy with this marriage. It's just that Mrs. Zong or the Zhang family thinks he is good."

Fu Jingen shook his head and said, "This is not. I just feel that I don't even dare to mention a different kind of tea, so I'm too brave."

Mrs. Gu felt very good: "This shows that Zhang Lian has a good temper! An An has a bad temper and just matches it."

An An didn't say anything, just looked at Qingshu and Fu Jingen.

Fu Jingen held a different view: "I don't think it's a good person, I think it's a coward. And people who don't know how to refuse will usually live very tiring."

Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "That's not a special situation, so he won't refuse. Faced with other people's unreasonable requests, he will definitely not feel wronged."

Fu Jingen asked back: "Well, he would not refuse the unreasonable requests from the Zhang family? For example, let Zhang Lian take a concubine, or ask An An to stay in Linzhou to serve the elderly in the future."

Mrs. Gu immediately said, "He is the youngest son, not the eldest son, so An An doesn't have to stay in Linzhou."

Fu Jingen said bluntly: "Grandma, what you are talking about is just an ordinary situation. If the Zhang family asked this and Zhang Lian couldn't resist his elders' agreement, what should An An do then?"

Mrs. Gu said, "We can make an agreement on this before marriage."
