Chapter 584: Chapter 535, Spring Has Arrived_1 Chapter 584: Chapter 535, Spring Has Arrived_1 Madam Su was truly excited about the marriage proposal to the Su Family.
If she could really marry off her son to the Su Family, being supported by a Scholar Family as her in-laws, neither she nor her husband needed to worry too much about their youngest son’s future prospects.
Furthermore, the character of the Su Family’s young lady was indeed comndable, gentle and pleasant, quiet and graceful, which would perfectly balance her sowhat rash youngest son.
“Mother.”
Seeing Madam Li silent, Yan Wenkai couldn’t help but shake her arm.
Outside the door, watching the tall and burly fourth brother acting coquettishly with Madam Li, Daohua couldn’t help but shudder, while Yan Wenxiu and Yan Wentao also found it sowhat unbearable to watch, turning their heads away.
Madam Li glared at her youngest son, “Enough, don’t act like everything is set in stone. I can’t make a decision about your marriage on my own. We need to go back and discuss this with your father and grandmother.”
Hearing this, Yan Wenkai felt sowhat disappointed. He was impatient by nature, and once he had made up his mind about sothing, he wanted to resolve it quickly. He disliked dragging things out; in his opinion, many things were spoiled by unnecessary delays, which could lead to unintended outcos.
Madam Li saw her dejected son and found it sowhat amusing, but didn’t say anything.
The young man was always impulsive, wanting to act imdiately upon thinking of sothing. She thought it might be good to use this opportunity to temper his impulsiveness.
However, her son’s sudden ntion of his marriage prospect made her realize she had to seriously inquire about what was going on.
anwhile, in the side room, Yang Xiujun kept walking over to the door to look towards the main house, seeing Daohua with Yan Wenxiu and Yan Wentao eavesdropping. She also wanted to listen in.
She had never expected that Cousin Wenkai would be so decisive; to speak of proposing to Miss Su, and then imdiately go and declare his intentions to his aunt.
Would her aunt agree?
Yang Xiujun was quite anxious. The Su Family had a long history as a Scholar Family, with many relatives in governnt positions, outstanding lineage, plus Miss Su’s beautiful and gentle appearance. A person like that would not only be a sought-after match in Zhongzhou but even in Beijing. There was no reason for her aunt to refuse.
What should she do?
If her aunt really proposed to the Su Family, then she would lose her chance to marry into the Yan Family.
Yang Xiujun was so anxious she was beside herself; with her mother not by her side, she had no one to consult with.
The maid, seeing her distressed, couldn’t help but say, “Miss, don’t worry. Cousin Wenkai’s marriage won’t be settled so quickly. In any case, Madam Li will have to go back and discuss it with her husband and the grandmother.”
Hearing this, Yang Xiujun nodded repeatedly, “You’re right, my aunt can’t decide Cousin Wenkai’s marriage alone.” Saying this, she let out a sigh of relief.
…
In the main house, seeing Yan Wenkai coming out of Madam Li’s room, Daohua, Yan Wenxiu, and Yan Wentao all looked at him admiringly.
Yan Wentao gave him a thumbs-up directly; he didn’t have his younger brother’s courage and confidence.
Daohua watched Yan Wenkai sowhat sentintally. She knew her fourth brother was decisive, but was this not a bit too hasty? Had he thought it through, or it was a spur-of-the-mont decision made in the heat of the mont?
After thinking it over, Daohua pulled Yan Wenkai aside and asked seriously, “Fourth brother, do you truly like Sister Su?”
Yan Wenkai gave her a look that said, ‘Isn’t that obvious?’
Daohua fell silent, “Fourth brother, I think you should go back and think it over properly. Marriage is for life; don’t make hasty decisions.”
Yan Wenxiu nodded in agreent, as he too felt his younger brother’s decision was too rash.
Yan Wenkai couldn’t help but retort, “I didn’t make a decision lightly; I’ve thought it through very carefully.”
Daohua, “… Fourth Brother, do you know what getting married ans?”
Yan Wenkai rolled his eyes, “Big Sister, do you think I’m very foolish? Of course, I know what getting married ans.” As he said this, he even laughed shyly.
Daohua looked sowhat speechless and said earnestly, “Getting married ans responsibility, commitnt, and that you have to take care of your wife for a lifeti, be responsible for her, and not let her down.”
“Fourth Brother, do you know how long a lifeti is? This isn’t sothing to be spoken of lightly.”
Her words rendered Yan Wenkai silent, even Yan Wenxiu and Yan Wentao lowered their gaze, contemplating.
Daohua, “Fourth Brother, Sister Su is gentle and likable, appealing to all, but are you certain she is the only one for you? Are you sure you want to take care of her for your whole life, to grow old together with her?”
“Fourth Brother, you should think these questions over after you go back. Sister Su is a good girl, deserving of tender care, and you must not hurt her.”
Yan Wenkai imdiately said, “I love her and want to protect her more than anything; how could I possibly hurt her?”
Daohua looked at him and didn’t continue talking. The emotions of the young are fiery and sincere, but the fear is that they may not last long.
Just then, Madam Li’s voice ca from inside the house, “Has Yiyi co back?”
“Eldest Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, you all should go and rest, I’ll return to my room as well.”
After entering the room, Madam Li beckoned Daohua to her side, “Why did your Fourth Brother suddenly decide to propose to the Su Family?”
Daohua looked up at the ceiling and spread her hands, “Spring has arrived, and the young man’s heart is beginning to stir.”
Madam Li imdiately tapped Daohua on the forehead, “You girl, daring to say anything.”
Daohua leaned on Madam Li, “Isn’t this in front of mother? Does a daughter need to hide anything from her own mother?”
Madam Li fell silent for a mont, “The Su Family is a fine choice for marriage.”
Daohua looked up, “Mother, you agree to this match?”
Madam Li, “What use is my agreent? The Su Family has to agree as well.” Saying this, she paused, “Have your Fourth Brother and Miss Su been seeing each other often?”
Knowing that the people of ancient tis were very conservative and that free love was considered detrintal to morals in the eyes of the parents, Daohua imdiately shook her head, “No, they just see each other when everyone goes out to play together.”
After finishing, she glanced at Madam Li’s expression and continued, “Mother knows Sister Su’s temperant and character. It’s understandable for Fourth Brother to develop a liking for such a splendid woman.”
Madam Li nodded her head but didn’t say anything.
Daohua probed, “Mother, are you planning to propose a marriage with the Su Family?”
Madam Li shook her head, “Proposing marriage isn’t as simple as that. Our family’s status isn’t comparable to the Su Family’s; if we rashly pay them a visit, they might think we are disrespecting them. However…”
“Although proposing marriage should not be rushed, it’s possible to feel out the situation. It just so happens that your Sister Zixuan is getting married on the twentieth, and mother is free these days; it could be a good opportunity to visit the Su Family.”
So things don’t seem significant until they’re brought up; once ntioned, one can’t help but be moved. Miss Su’s qualifications are indeed excellent, and she wanted to fight for this chance for her youngest son.
As the saying goes, fate can stretch for thousands of miles with but a single thread; perhaps her young boy might have a great fortune awaiting him.
