Chapter 1157, Redemption 8

After getting on the Su family's boat, Zhang Huahan was careful about everything, always paying attention, for fear of showing his cowardice in front of the Su family and humiliating the reputation of the Yan family, and at the same time not wanting outsiders to look down on the Zhang family too much.

Mrs. Su and the two girls from the Su family were reminded in advance, and they warmly received Zhang Huahan and Mrs. Zhang, while Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhang accompanied Mr. Su and Mr. Su to drink tea on the deck.

As to why Yan Yile didn't come, the Su family did not mention the interesting things, nor did they mention Zhang's family affairs, but just talked about the scenery and anecdotes along the way.

The Su family wanted to accommodate, and the Zhang family tried their best to accommodate. In this way, the two families got along well.

A day later, the provincial capital pier arrived.

Mr. Zhang didn’t want to go to Yan Mansion. After disembarking, he made an excuse and left.

In this regard, the Su family did not ask much. When they came to the provincial capital this time, they also went to the Yan residence to celebrate their birthday, and they entered the city with the three brothers and sisters of the Zhang family.

In the carriage, thinking about the uncle's family he was about to see, Zhang Huahan couldn't help his heart beat faster. . .

Although she is the uncle of her own relatives, she has never seen each other since she was born, and her knowledge of her uncle's family is limited to what An Ran told her. She wonders if they will welcome her?

Coupled with the fact that her mother and the Yan family had cut off contact, she became more and more uneasy.

Zhang Huahan was able to maintain a calm face, but Miss Zhang couldn't hide her nervousness.

After contacting the prefect's girl, Miss Zhang was overwhelmed by her inferiority complex. No matter how the other party was dressed, how she spoke, or how she looked, everything was enough to crush her to the ground.

At this moment, listening to the noise in the city, she gave birth for the first time, maybe she should not follow Zhang Huahan to the provincial capital.

Walking beside Zhang Huahan, she felt that she was not even a maid.

As Zhang's parent daughter, she has gotten more than anyone since she was a child. Even if her stepmother has a strong family background, she had to let her fifth sister on the bright side, but in private, her father and grandmother would subsidize her.

Therefore, she always felt that she was the most honorable girl in the Zhang family.

But at this moment, this pride was destroyed to pieces, and the huge gap made her almost run away.

Thinking of her grandmother's earnest instructions when she left home; the expectant look in her father's eyes when she left; and the county magistrate's house that she was about to marry, Miss Zhang forcibly suppressed the inferiority complex and anxiety in her heart.

If you lose face, you will lose face. As long as she survives this time and has seen a big scene, she will be able to take it easy when she marries her husband's family in the future and faces her husband's social circle.

In the two sisters' different thoughts, the Yan residence arrived.

Although Yan Wenjie's birthday will be two days away, there are already many guests at the door at this time. Zhu Qiyun wants to receive other people and can't escape, so he sent the steward Yan Fang's family to welcome the Su family.

Yan Fang's family didn't notice the Zhang brothers and sisters at first, thinking that they were the sons and daughters of the Su family, so they only greeted Mrs. Su.

The three Zhang Huahan faced such a situation for the first time, and they didn't know how to introduce themselves, so they could only stand beside the Su family in embarrassment.

Finally, An Ran saw that the Yan Fang family was about to lead the Su family directly into the door, so she had to stand up: "Sister Fang!"

Yan Fang's family froze and looked at An Ran in doubt. After a while, his eyes widened and he looked at An Ran in surprise: "Are you. An Ran next to the fourth girl?"

An Ran nodded with a smile: "Sister Fang still remembers, isn't it me?"

The Yan Fang family came over excitedly and pulled An Ran: "How is the fourth girl all these years?"

The smile on An Ran's face was slightly stagnant, and she nodded with a smile: "Okay, everything is fine." After speaking, she looked at Zhang Huahan, "This is the daughter of the fourth girl."

Yan Fang's eyes shifted to Zhang Huahan instantly, looking at Zhang Huahan, whose brows at the corners of his eyes were very similar to Yan Yile's, his eyes were red with excitement: "Biao girl, you are here, Mrs. and Mrs. have been talking about it all this time. And you."

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly bowed his knees to salute Zhang Huahan, "Old slave, please pay my respects to Miss Biao."

Zhang Huahan was a little flustered, but his face was still calm, and he quickly helped him up: "Mommy, please get up."

The Yan Fang family looked at Zhang Huahan excitedly, and quickly pulled over the maid next to her: "Quick, go and tell the madam that Biao girl is here."

After    finished the order, he immediately welcomed Zhang Huahan and the Su family into the mansion with a smile.

Before the group reached the Chuihuamen, Zhu Qiyun rushed over with the maid and the old lady.

Along the way, the guests and servants all watched curiously. If they could be the owner and mother to greet them, I don’t know what kind of honorable guests they were?

"You are Hua Han?"

As soon as Zhu Qiyun arrived, she stared at Zhang Huahan closely.

Zhang Huahan hurriedly bowed his knees and saluted: "Huahan has seen my aunt."

"Get up!"

Zhu Qiyun lifted Zhang Huahan up and held her hand tightly: "Quick, let my aunt take a good look." After saying that, she looked at Zhang Huahan carefully, and said with surprise and joy: "Like, these eyebrows and these eyes are like your mother."

Zhang Huahan's eyes drooped slightly, and his expression was a little shy, allowing Zhu Qiyun to look at it.

Zhu Qiyun took Zhang Huahan to look at it for a while, until she had seen enough, then looked at Madam Su next to her apologetically: "Mrs. made me laugh."

Mrs. Su said kindly: "Madam, don't say that, I understand. I haven't seen my niece for a long time, so I don't want to kiss her."

Zhu Qiyun smiled and nodded straight, holding Zhang Huahan's hand: "Don't stand here, come with me to the main courtyard for tea." After saying that, she took Zhang Huahan to the front.

Feeling his aunt's closeness to him, Zhang Huahan's tense mood finally relaxed.

Main Courtyard.

The ladies and ladies saw that Zhu Qiyun was pulling a girl in, and they all looked at it curiously. After Zhu Qiyun introduced it, they realized that this was actually the niece of Yan Buzheng's direct relative, and their attention was suddenly raised.

Zhu Qiyun smiled and introduced Zhang Huahan to the wife and girls present. Seeing Zhang Huahan's progress and retreat, and his demeanor, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Before that, she was afraid that the fourth sister's daughter would also inherit her temperament.

The Yan family sister, the fourth younger sister, was the worst married. After marrying into the Zhang family, she directly cut off contact with the family, which often caused her father-in-law and mother-in-law to worry.

The transfer to Huaian this time was also intentionally won by Xianggong. First, it was for the heart of her grandmother, and secondly, she wanted to help this sister.

The world sympathizes with the weak. Brothers and sisters are now living a better life. Whenever I think of Yile, I can't help but sigh.

Zhu Qiyun looked at Zhang Huahan next to her, Yile didn't come, this was what she expected, with her temperament, she probably didn't have the face to see her family.

As long as this niece is knowledgeable and knows how to advance and retreat, she is also willing to seek a good future for her.

Before Zhu Qiyun finished introducing the people in the room, a maid came in to report: "Madam, the master came back from the front yard and said he wanted to meet the cousin."

Hearing the words, the face of the lady present changed slightly.

The governor left behind the guests and rushed back to the backyard impatiently, which shows that he values ​​this niece.

The eyes of the ladies drooped slightly, and the attention to Zhang Huahan in their hearts was once again raised to a new level.

Zhu Qiyun was not good at leaving the guests, so he invited his eldest daughter-in-law and asked her to accompany Zhang Huahan to see Yan Wenjie.

Zhang Huahan met Yan Wenjie with an uneasy heart, perhaps because of blood relationship, the first time she saw Yan Wenjie, her nose was a little sore.

Yan Wenjie looked at Zhang Huahan with pity, and asked about her and Yan Yile's life in Zhang's house.

Family ugliness is not easy to show, and Zhang Huahan didn't want to see his uncle for the first time, so he complained to the other party for sympathy, and only vaguely said that everything was fine.

Yan Wenjie saw her nephew and the goddess being restrained, so she did not continue to embarrass her, but said: "When you arrive at your uncle's house, it is no different from your own. Tell your aunt what you want to eat and what you lack, don't be embarrassed, you know?"

Zhang Huahan nodded obediently.

Yan Wenjie spoke for a while, and then asked the eldest daughter-in-law to take Zhang Huahan down to rest. As soon as she left, he called An Ran over.

An Ran didn't want to hide it, the master and the fifth girl needed the support of the second master, so he carefully explained how Yan Yile had spent these years in Zhang's house.

Yan Wenjie's expression was very complicated after hearing this, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Yile is the most lively, unexpectedly, married into the Zhang family, and was trapped in a yard for more than ten years!

It wasn't until An Ran said that Yan Yile ignored Zhang Huahan, and Yan Wenjie lost her temper: "Why is Yile still like this? She only depends on her own temperament and never cares about other people's feelings. That is her own daughter!"

An Ran sobbed: "Second Master, don't blame the girl, she is also bitter, Zhang Wan used such a dirty trick on her, how could she be willing to give birth to him?"

"Every time she sees the fifth girl leaving in disappointment, she will cry silently. As a mother, how can you not love your own flesh and blood? The girl can't let go of her hatred for Zhang Wan."

Hearing this, Yan Wenjie's full of anger turned into a sigh: "This is the cause that she sowed by herself. It hurts Hua Han to have such a pair of parents."

An Ran hurriedly said: "The girl has changed a bit now, the fifth girl went to greet the girl without a second thought, and it also melted the girl's heart. Before they came, their mother-daughter relationship was already very harmonious, and the girl personally taught the fifth girl to burn incense and arrange flowers. Woolen cloth."

Yan Wenjie sighed and asked some more about the Zhang family. After inquiring about everything he wanted to know, he waved An Ran back.

After    An Ran left, Yan Wenjie sat in the study for a while before getting up and going to the front yard to receive guests.

After dinner, Yan Wenjie saw Zhang Huahan again, with a little more pity in his eyes, and showed his importance to her with practical actions, making people dare not neglect her.

When    was sleeping, Yan Wenjie told Zhu Qiyun what he had learned from An Ran.

Zhu Qiyun was also silent for a long time after hearing this.

Yan Wenjie: "For Yile, she has to let go by herself. We can't help her, but Huahan, you can get some snacks."

"You also know the situation of Zhang's family. I hope Huahan can find some kind of husband's family. You aunt can choose a good one for Huahan. Don't let this child suffer any more."

Zhu Qiyun nodded, knowing what life Zhang Huahan lived in Zhang's house, she also sympathized with this little girl whose father did not love her mother: "Don't worry, I will."

"Yile agreed with Hua Han to come to see us. I guess he also wants us to help Hua Han choose a good marriage. I just asked An Ran, Hua Han will be due in September."

"That's what I plan to do, let Hua Han stay in our house for a while, and her wedding ceremony will be held directly in our house. I will invite more people to come. Once I come, let Hua Han follow me to learn some rules and housekeepers. The director's ability, secondly, shows that we value Hua Han, which is also good for her to say kiss."

Yan Wenjie nodded: "It's still up to you to be thoughtful, just do as you say." After speaking, he looked at Zhu Qiyun gratefully, "It's hard for you, fortunately I have you by my side."

Zhu Qiyun laughed and said: "It's an old husband and wife, you still say something like this, and you're not afraid that the children will hear the joke." After speaking, she paused, "I'm both a sister-in-law and an aunt, and Yile's mother and daughter are not doing well. , I don't feel good about it."

With Yan Wenjie's statement, the Yan family was considerate and thoughtful towards Zhang Huahan, and did not dare to be slow in the slightest. Even the Funing Residence where Zhang Huahan temporarily lived was not an ordinary guest house, but Zhu Qiyun specially sent someone to clean it up.

Mrs. Zhang followed Zhang Huahan, and she experienced a golden and precious life that a real lady has lived.

"Five sisters, I really envy you, you have an uncle and aunt who treat you so well."

Lady Zhang looked at the precious ornaments on the Duobao Pavilion and the elegant and warm boudoir, and the envy on her face could not be concealed.

Zhang Huahan didn't respond. Her aunt and uncle were kind to her, but sometimes the kindness of others was a burden, and she was afraid that she would not be able to repay the kindness.

Soon, it was Yan Wenjie's birthday.

At the birthday banquet, Zhu Qiyun personally took Zhang Huahan to walk among the female relatives. Apart from being a little nervous at the beginning, Zhang Huahan gradually became familiar with the social entertainment with the official's family.

Yan Yile's marriage to the Zhang family couldn't be concealed. In addition, the Zhang family brothers and sisters also came this time. After a little inquiries, everyone quickly learned about Zhang Huahan's life experience.

Originally, everyone just looked at Yan Wenjie's face and treated her a little more politely, but now seeing that she is neither humble nor arrogant, her behavior is moderate, and she does not have the bad habits of the merchants, but it makes many people take a high look.

After   's birthday, Yan Wenjie personally talked with Zhang Huahan, and wanted her to live in Yan's house for a while.

"Where's your aunt, I want to give you a wedding ceremony. Besides, your mother hasn't taught you about housekeeping and directors all these years. Your aunt wants to take you with you."

Hearing this, Zhang Huahan's face was moved. In Zhang's house, the eldest sister was taught by her grandmother, and the second and third sisters also had their own mothers. She was the only one who had never been taught about housekeeping.

As for the ceremony, no one has mentioned it.

Zhang Huahan is not someone who doesn't know what's wrong. Knowing that his uncle and aunt are pitying him, he immediately thanked him: "Huahan, thank my uncle and aunt for your pity, but will this bother my uncle and aunt?"

Looking at the cautious niece, the pity in Yan Wenjie's eyes grew stronger, and he immediately smiled: "Don't bother, we are relatives of the direct relatives, the uncle's house is your own home, you just need to live here."

Feeling his uncle's attention and love, Zhang Huahan's nose is a little sore: "Thank you uncle."

Seeing her consent, Yan Wenjie showed a smile: "That's right, we are a family, don't be embarrassed. For your mother's side, I will write to her in person. As for your father, there is your brother. There will be no problem if my sister spreads the word."

Zhang Huahan saw that his uncle was thinking so thoughtfully, his eyes were a little hot, he didn't dare to look up, and nodded with his head down.

Zhang Huahan is going to live in Yan's house. Uncle Zhang and Miss Zhang are very envious when they find out.

Apart from the discomfort and apprehension of being among the dignitaries at the beginning, the two have lived in Yan's house for a few days now, and they are in contact with people and things they have never met before. The two seem to have opened a new door. would like to leave.

But the two of them still had some eyesight, so they didn't want to stay with them. They said goodbye and left Yan's house the next day. After leaving the city, they went to meet up with Mr. Zhang outside the city.

Mr. Zhang knew that Zhang Huahan stayed at Yan's house, not only was not unhappy, but very happy.

The better the Yan family treats Zhang Huahan, the better Zhang Huahan's marriage will be, which is undoubtedly the most beneficial to the Zhang family.

"Come on, let's go back."

On the way back, Master Zhang and the three of them immediately experienced the benefits brought by the in-laws of the Yan family.

Some officials took the initiative to invite them to take a boat, not one or two!

In the past, how could officials like them businessmen!

This time, I came to the provincial capital to celebrate my birthday. The fact that the Zhang family and the Yan family are in-law families has passed the bright road.

No matter how puzzled everyone is, I don’t know why the Yan family has come to look at the Zhang family, but for the Zhang family, this is enough. As long as people know that they are standing behind the Yan family, the Zhang family will have a strong backing for protection. .

Mr. Zhang was still sober, not complacent. He rejected the official's invitation, and warned his two children: "The name of the Yan family cannot be used casually."

"You have also seen the relationship between me and your stepmother. The Yan family is also very dissatisfied with being a father."

"Using the Yan family's name to avoid some troubles in trivial matters, they may not manage the meeting, but if it exceeds a certain limit and damages the reputation of the Yan family, the Yan family will not be soft on the Zhang family. Remember."

Uncle Zhang and Miss Zhang nodded earnestly. The Yan family's attitude towards the Zhang family was also obvious to them when they went to He Shou this time.

The big families value their reputations. Although they don't shy away from them, the alienation and rejection of them are clearly felt.

If there is no fifth sister, they are afraid that they will be driven out directly.
