Chapter 360 Asking for Marriage

“Then there’s Lord Lao!” Liang Hongchang kicked the anxious son and pulled him up to leave.

Hua Zhi personally sent the person out, then walked in excitedly and said, "Madam, are you looking for a girl?"

Jiang Ning thought for a while and asked, "Where did she go?"

Huazhi hurriedly replied, "She should be working at the second young lady's place. Today is not the 15th day of the Lunar New Year, so she won't go out."

Since there was a Salesian Home in the north of the city, Yang Erya would go to the temple on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month, and then go to the Salesian Home to deliver snacks to the children, using all the money she earned. She was happy, and so was Jiang Ning. Just ignore it.

When Huazhi called Yang Erya over, she was still a little confused about the situation.

Jiang Ning let Huazhi watch the tea, looked at her carefully, and asked with a smile: "Are you still used to staying here?"

Yang Erya nodded nervously, "Auntie, it's a good place here. Erya feels at ease here."

Originally, she and Yang Fugui were going to live back in Xinghua Village, but there were a lot of things going on in the brick kiln. Yang Fugui didn't want to bother, so he simply lived in the brick kiln. It was not safe for her to go back and forth every day, so she also lived in Zhuangzi. Come down.

Jiang Ning's smile deepened a little, "Just feel at ease. Do you still remember why you left the village in the first place?"

Yang Erya nodded again, with a bit more hesitation on his face, and his voice became much softer, "It's because of my father."

Jiang Ning patted her shoulder comfortingly, "You children shouldn't be responsible for adults' affairs. I called you here today mainly because someone came to me to ask me to marry you. I also wanted to ask you what you meant. "

Yang Erya was shocked, "This is impossible!"

Having been in Fucheng for so long, she is no longer the ignorant girl she was before. The beautiful visions that Ah Nai told her were just filling her with honey and sugar water, which were simply not realistic.

With her parents' situation, what kind of good family would like her? She had already thought about living like this for the rest of her life. When she saved up money, she would go to work in the Salesian Home and treat the orphans there as her own children. She would not be afraid that no one would give her a good death when she was old.

"What's impossible!" Jiang Ning glanced at her angrily and distressedly, and said slowly: "Did you know that the son of Mr. Liang, the government's construction department, is Liang Shaoqian, who is studying at Quzhou Academy."

Yang Erya thought about it carefully, and after thinking for a long time, she said with a sudden look on her face, "The eldest uncle is talking about the young master who often walks with Sizhuang! I have met him several times, always at Quzhou Academy."

At that time, Quzhou Academy took in many lonely elderly people and orphans. She helped take care of the orphans. Occasionally she met Yang Santie and Yang Sizhuang. Yang Sizhuang was young and stayed at the academy to help. She often brought people over to give them things, back and forth. , she also talked to Liang Shaoqian several times.

"That's right!" Jiang Ning looked at her happily, and what he said was quite meaningful, "Everyone in the world says just do good deeds and don't worry about your future. If you have done so many good deeds, God will always give you some blessings, then Mr. Liang came to me today and was very determined to ask for your marriage. I even told her about your father and mother-in-law, but he didn't care. He only said that his qualifications were limited and he would not achieve much in his career in the future. , don’t want to miss a good girl.

Erya, I don’t want to interfere too much in your life-long matter, but I have worked with Mr. Liang for half a year and know that he is a fair and reasonable man, and he can’t get rid of the dirt in his eyes. He is a very principled person. Such a person will teach his son character. Not bad.

The Liang family is the best choice for you. You can think about it carefully. If you are worried that the things your father and mother have done will affect Mr. Liang’s future, it would be easier. I will write a letter and give it to your father and grandma. Just transfer it to my name. "

"Uncle!" Yang Erya was very surprised. At this moment, she suddenly felt the feeling of being loved by her mother. She was moved to tears and knelt down to Jiang Ning. "I have grown up so big, and my parents have never thought about me like this. Pass."

"Silly boy! Get up!" Jiang Ning motioned to Huazhi to help Yang Erya up, and said: "Since I promised your grandma to take care of you, I will naturally keep my word. You go back and think about it carefully. If you agree, I will give it to you." Let me write to you to explain this."

“Erya understands.”

Yang Erya left the big house and immediately went to the brick kiln to find Yang Fugui. Yang Fugui was in charge of several brothels, and he became much more cheerful, and he became more and more decent in talking and doing things. When he saw Yang Erya coming, he gave a warning and went out, "Second sister, what's the matter?"

Yang Erya took a deep breath excitedly, and it took a moment to tell her about the Liang family's request to marry her.

Yang Fugui was surprised and then ecstatic, "That's great, second sister! My aunt has said so, so you agree quickly without hesitation."

“You also think this marriage is good, don’t you?”

"Nonsense!" Yang Fugui looked anxious, "Auntie is always very proper no matter what she does. She takes the initiative and wants to transfer you to her name. What else are you thinking about? You can't get rid of such a family. missed."

“But will dad agree?” Yang Erya was very worried.

Yang Fugui snorted coldly and clenched his fists fiercely, "If he really treats you as his daughter, he shouldn't object. Besides, I'm here. If he doesn't agree, I won't support him until his death."

Yang Erya was convinced and turned around and gave Jiang Ning a positive reply.

Jiang Ning immediately called Butler Zhu and asked him to go to Ping'an County.

Xu Nuoyan stayed at her parents' house until evening before coming back. When she heard that the Liang family wanted to marry Yang Erya, she was stunned for a moment and then congratulated Yang Erya in person, feeling somewhat regretful.

After getting along with each other for this period of time, she became more and more appreciative of Yang Erya. Unfortunately, her mother-in-law didn’t have this intention. Now she can only give her blessings.

Steward Zhu rushed to Rongshu Village, looked at the sky, and went directly to the workshop.

Mrs. Li was very surprised when she saw him coming.

Butler Zhu said: "Old madam, I am sending you a letter to tell you something."

Ms. Li paused and immediately took Butler Zhu home.

Zhou thought for a while and followed.

Inside the old house.

Butler Zhu stopped Mrs. Li who was busy and said, "Old madam, let's talk about serious matters first! This is a letter written by madam to you."

Steward Zhu took out the letter and knew that Li was illiterate, so he read it to her on the spot.

Before Mrs. Li said anything, Mrs. Zhou was so shocked that she covered her mouth, "Sister-in-law has found such a good match for Erya? She also wants to adopt Erya into her name? She is so generous!"

Mr. Li was so happy that she gave Mr. Zhou a hard look and asked carefully with Butler Zhu: "Is this Liang family really an official?"

Butler Zhu nodded heavily, "It's absolutely true. Mr. Liang is the head of the Fucheng Construction Department. His official position is not big, but he also receives a salary from the court. The Liang family has lived in Fucheng for generations, and they also have some wealth. The family is well-off and the family tradition is upright. If Mr. Liang hadn't personally led it, Mrs. Liang didn't even dare to think of Mr. Liang coming to ask for his hand in marriage.

Madam also thinks that this marriage is excellent, and she is afraid that Miss Xueyan will miss this good marriage, so she asks me to make a trip. If the old lady agrees, I will wait until you have settled the adoption matter before going back. "
