Chapter 45
After an hour’s walk, Su Chunjun of course had to send Second Miss back. The two of them walked back to the Zhu family’s downstairs holding hands slowly and leisurely, before Su Chunjun let go of his hand and said, “You go up, I’ll watch from here.”
Yang Yuyan was deeply happy, and after some pretense, she urged Su Chunjun to be careful in the car, be careful crossing the street, don’t fight with others, and come home on time from work.
Su Chunjun was as happy as a noodle, and after waving goodbye again, saying goodbye to each other, and being careful on the way upstairs, finally, Yang Yuyan was going upstairs.
At this time, a passerby A suddenly appeared from a crowd of passers-by, holding flowers and gift boxes in his hands, rushed to the second lady, rushed over to a deep bow, said loudly: “Good morning, Miss! Greetings to you, Miss!”
Yang Yuyan didn’t remember this character, and said back with a hello face: “You too, may I ask your name?” Who are you?
Su Chunjun also came over, grim and serious as a police officer, staring at this passerby.
The passer-by quickly introduced himself: “Don’t you remember me, Miss? I also came to your house yesterday to pay New Year’s greetings, it is Mrs. Ma brought me here, my surname is Gao, free of your surname Gao ah.”
Oh, it’s that stunted blind date man!
Yang Yuyan immediately remembered, and hurriedly greeted him again, “Hello, may I ask what you have to do?”
The man surnamed Gao, first name Wei Nan immediately said, “I would like to go up and pay a visit to Missy, I don’t know if it’s convenient?”
It was not customary to rush guests during the Chinese New Year, but this gentleman’s intention was to pursue Yang Yuchan, and it was known that Zhu Yanshu and Yang Yuchan were both unlikely to take a liking to him, so the conclusion was: it would be best not to let him go up.
Yang Yuyan immediately reached out and pulled the sleeve of Su Chunjun next to him, pretending to say, “What do you think about this …… teacher?”
Su Chunjun knew that this person was Miss Yang’s suitor, which originally had nothing to do with him, but the second young lady asked for help, which was relevant.
He reached out and took the man’s flowers and gift box – the man apparently handed over the things in his hand without reacting!
Gao Wei Nan looked at the decent and handsome man in front of him in a daze, not without some trepidation and a bit of jealousy.
Su Chunjun, although polite but in fact not polite at all, said, “This gentleman, I am the home teacher of the Yang family ladies.” 事师如事父啊，四舍五入算长辈了，既然是长辈，那就可以说话了。
Su Chunjun: “Although it is now a new society, do not talk about those old truths, but there are some things that still need to be talked about. Don’t you think so?”
Gao Wei Nan didn’t know if he hadn’t turned the corner, so he nodded and said, “Right.”
Su Chunjun nodded with a smile of satisfaction, “As for these gifts, I can pass them on to Miss Yang on your behalf. What do you think?”
Gao Wei Nan was about to smile when he heard that the gifts would be given to Miss Yang, but when he remembered that it was to be handed over on his behalf, this smile was only half-smiled.
So is it a yes, or no?
Gao Wei Nan hesitated.
Su Chunjun, in order to show that he is absolutely no selfishness, immediately stuffed the gift box into the hands of Yang Yuyan, his own hands only a bouquet of flowers.
Gao Wei Nan, even if he dares to ask Su Chunjun to return the things, but he can not ask the second Miss Yang to return ah, the second Miss and Miss is a close sister, offended the second Miss, then Miss will not be able to catch up.
If you hesitate once, you lose your chance, and if you hesitate twice, you lose all your chances.
Su Chunjun: “This time, you first go back, later again to the door or to talk about some etiquette. If you don’t understand, you can also go home and ask your lord for advice, although Missy has gone to university, it doesn’t mean she is a frivolous woman.”
Gao Wei Nan hurriedly shook his head vigorously, “I wouldn’t dare to think so!”
Su Chunjun nodded, “If there are no elders to guide you, I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for you to directly visit the eldest miss.”
It was really too reasonable, after all, if one were to dwell on it further, it wouldn’t be a pursuit, but a feud. Gao Wei Nan profoundly realized his mistake and had to just leave his gift and walk away, taking three steps back.
Only after the person left did Su Chunjun hand over the flowers to Yang Yuyan as well, “Take it up, a little gift and flowers is nothing, no need to be pressured.”
Yang Yuyan sighed, “Your mouth is so powerful. By the way, how did he just give you everything? You’re moving too fast too.”
Su Chunjun smiled and said, “These hands of mine have received no less than a thousand gifts this month, just an old horse knowing his way around.”
After the two said goodbye again, Yang Yuyan finally stomped up the stairs, and Su Chunjun finally saw her safely up the stairs, called a yellow cab, ready to go to work.
Yang Yuyan ran all the way back to her home, and when she opened the door, she called out to Zhang Ma, “Zhang Ma, come pick me up!”
Zhang Ma wiped her hands from the kitchen, looked at Yang Yuyan proud as if a little rooster standing at the front door, hands and flowers and gift boxes, rejoiced: “Mr. Su is really polite ah.” She came up and took it.
Zhu Yan Shu closed the newspaper and laughed: “Finally came back from a walk? Did you freeze your face?” Since Su Chunjun said the good news, the Zhu family has been buying newspapers again. Originally, because of the surname Yang, the family has not bought newspapers for three years.
Yang Yuyan unwrapped her scarf, took off her coat, and called out to Zhang Ma, “Wait, Zhang Ma, this is not from Mr. Su, it’s from the man surnamed Gao who brought it after I was stopped downstairs by the man who came yesterday, he said he wanted to come up to visit big sister, and was scared off by Mr. Su.”
Zhu Yanshu and Zhang Ma were both startled, Yang Yucan heard that the matter was related to her and also came out from her room, seeing the bouquet and gift box in Zhang Ma’s hand, she was surprised, “Sent to me?”
Yang Yuyan nodded, “Yes!”
This can be really …… complicated.
Ma Tianbao’s matter hadn’t been completely resolved, and another Gao Wei Nan came out. Although Gao Wei Nan seemed to be a little better than Ma Tianbao’s conditions, none of the three Zhu family mothers and daughters looked at him.
Zhang Ma didn’t look at him either, and once she heard it was surnamed Gao she said, “Is it that little chicken boy?”
Yang Yuyan laughed out loud.
Zhu Yan Shu cried and laughed, waving her hand, “Zhang Ma, it’s not good to talk about people like that.” She stood up, went to the telephone and looked up the phone book, found Mrs. Ma’s home phone number, hung up and asked her to answer it.
Mrs. Ma’s family is open store, it is said to have been a landlord in Shanxi, and then Shanxi fought, they sold all the land, hiding the gold to run here, buy land store store to ask workers. Mrs. Ma used to be the landlord’s wife, used to the maid, after coming here often say that this side of the people expensive, the wages open more, but she herself is ten fingers are wearing a gold ring, hair every day to ask the combing woman to come to the door to take care of the clothes pieces of clothing according to the picture girl’s appearance to do, it is a top of the modern Mrs. ZhuYanShu usually rarely say bad things about people, and then they will not say anything about the people.
Zhu Yanshu seldom speaks ill of people, but even so, she has commented that Mrs. Ma’s green dress looks like a big fish in a pond.
Gao Wei Nan is a relative of Mrs. Ma’s family, is also a landlord, but it is said that the family’s land is more than Mrs. Ma’s original family’s land a few times more, the family also keeps a team of horses to resist the bandits all year round, because of the family’s big business, so even if the Shanxi heavy mountain, layer after layer of harsh donations, the Gao family did not sell the land and run away, but just to send his son to study, it is said that the Gao Wei Nan is sure to study abroad in the future.
This is all Mrs. Ma told Zhu Yan Shu yesterday, words in the more boastful, suggesting that the Zhu family mother and daughter must grasp this big golden turtle! After catching him, the Zhu family is afraid that they will have to follow him to eat American rice.
Zhu Yan Shu is not interested in American rice, also do not want to tell Mrs. Ma does not eat rice in the United States. Even if Gao Wei Nan’s family had a mountain of gold, there was no way to make him look a little more handsome and upright, so what was the use of a mountain of gold? If she married her daughter to such a person, then everyone would know that she was trying to take advantage of the Gao family’s money.
Zhu Yanshu can’t afford to lose this person, not to mention Yang Yucan himself is not willing, even if she is willing, she as a mother can’t agree! If you find an ugly son-in-law, what if you give birth to a child who is also ugly? How can she stand it?
When she called Mrs. Ma, she smiled like a song and said that Gao Wei Nan had prepared a generous gift to meet Miss Yang, I wonder how the two of them talked?
Zhu Yanshu smiled more brightly than a flower, her tone gentle like honey: “Aigoo, this is not coincidental! When Mr. Gao came, my little Cicada happened to go to the movies with her classmates! What classmates? Of course they’re schoolmates, they often go out together. Were there any boys? Of course there are, they have a book club for both boys and girls, it’s not sexist.”
After a few witty remarks, Zhu Yanshu hung up the phone with satisfaction, her daughter was very popular! Not just any cat or dog can come courting.
She pointed at the flowers in Zhang Ma’s hand and said, “The flowers are innocent, stick them up. What’s that gift box? See how much it’s worth and give him the money when you come back next.”
Zhang Ma: “Ma’am, will this be too much? Should we make peace with it?”
Zhu Yan Shu shook her head, “Zhang Ma, you don’t understand, Big Sister now has some suitors, but because of this, it’s even more important not to let some people pull down the level, otherwise in case people are told to think that her suitors are all such a group of people, then people should look down on Big Sister. It’s only after rejecting the unsuitable ones early that you can meet someone more suitable.”
When Zhang Ma thought about it, it was indeed true. Yang Yucan is not Zhu Yanshu, she is now at the right age and has no burdens, it is the time in her life when she has the most suitors, she doesn’t need some unlikely people to come over to fill up the facade and make a show of themselves. Saving some effort to cope with the bystanders, she could just use her effort on a more suitable object.
She said, “It’s still Mistress who’s old-fashioned.” With that, she hugged the flowers and went to the kitchen.
Yang Yucan sat on the sofa, all uncomfortable, listening to the bystanders talk about themselves made her embarrassed, ashamed and helpless.
Yang Yuyan sat beside her, seeing her face sinking again, she could understand her unhappiness when being talked about her personal matters, so she comforted her, “Sister, don’t take it to heart, you don’t even need to see him, mom and Zhang Ma just blocked him.”
Yang Yu Cicada took a deep breath, “Next time he comes, I’ll refuse him.” Settle your own matters on your own.
Without waiting too long, by the afternoon, Gao Wei Nan came again. This time, there was no teacher Su downstairs to keep people away, and there were guests in the house, so Gao Weinan just managed to blend in, and as soon as he came in, he was discovered by Zhang Ma.
Zhang Ma’s eyes are sharp, unlike Second Miss Yang who doesn’t remember people, she recognized Gao Wei Nan at a glance, and fearing that he would talk nonsense among the guests, she immediately shouted, “Second Miss, your friend is here!”
When Yang Yuyan heard this, she smiled and came out to welcome her, seeing that it was Gao Weinan she still didn’t understand, it was Zhang Ma who quickly pulled her over and desperately winked, before the second miss understood.
Second Miss Yang said, “Mr. Gao, you’re here again.”
Gao Wei Nan didn’t hear the words, stretched his neck and looked around, at a glance he saw Yang Yucan in the pile of wives and madams, immediately revealing a happy face.
Gao Wei Nan: “Second Miss, can I speak with Missy?”
Yang Yuyan originally wanted to overstep her bounds, but after thinking about it, she decided not to interfere indiscriminately, letting Yang Yucan solve the problem on her own.
She nodded and said, “Yes, but there are many people there, you wait here for a moment, I’ll go call my sister.”
Gao Wei Nan then waited in front of the gate, and not long after, Yang Yucan came over.
As soon as he saw Yang Yu Cicada, both of Gao Wei Nan’s eyes let out light, he said excitedly, “Missy, I’ve already written a letter to my parents about us! My parents will be here soon, and when they arrive, I’ll formally propose marriage to you!”
???
Yang Yuyan who quietly followed behind and came over almost thought that she had missed out on a whole year’s worth of gossip, and after reacting, she immediately went back to find Zhu Yanshu! This was definitely not a situation that they sisters could handle! This Gao Wei Nan’s brain is sick!
Yang Yucan was also confused by Gao Wei Nan’s words and didn’t say anything for half a day.
Yang Yuchan: “Mr. Gao, what are you talking about? We only met for the first time yesterday!”
Gao Wei Nan: “I know. But I like you, I decided to marry you after seeing you yesterday, my parents won’t have a problem with that.”
Yang Yuchan: “…… But I don’t like you, I won’t marry you!” She shoved the money in her hand to him, “This is the money you bought gifts and spent, I won’t accept you.”
Gao Wei Nan took the money and looked at it, putting it into his pocket first before saying, “I’m a good person and my family has money, I’ll give your family a very high dowry, or else your family will name a number well, everything is negotiable.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang almost fainted and pushed Yang Yucan back, “Miss, you go back to the house first, I’ll talk to him! You get out, get out! Or I’ll call the police!”
Gao Wei Nan looked at Zhang Ma, then at Yang Yucan, “Missy, can you let your family’s subordinates leave for a bit first?”
Zhu Yanshu also came over at this time, Yang Yuyan stayed in the pile of madams and wives to cover up, but the commotion on this side of the foyer still attracted everyone’s attention, people all lowered their voices of talking, their eyes glancing towards the front door one after another.
As soon as Zhu Yanshu appeared, Gao Weinan was obviously not as imposing. He could speak out against Yang Yucan and Zhang Ma, but he became much more timid towards Zhu Yanshu and Su Chunjun.
Zhu Yanshu guessed that he must have been beaten a lot when he was a child, and his family must have been very strict.
She deliberately sank her face and said, “Why are you so rude? I’m going to call Mrs. Ma to have a word. What are you talking about in front of my house? Is tarnishing my daughter’s reputation your goal? Saying that your family is rich and showing off in front of the Zhu family? Where did that bumpkin come from!”
When these words came out, it was the guests eavesdropping in the living room and dining room who couldn’t help but laugh and pretended to talk.
“It’s an eye-opener today, there’s actually someone comparing who has more money with the Zhu family?”
“The tabloids will have something to write about, another huge rich man in town? ”
Some people even came over and looked Gao Wei Nan up and down, and then went back and said with a smile, “What a bumpkin, not even a watch in his hand to yell.”
Zhu family building is Zhu Yan Shu’s home, Zhu family’s most prosperous time here, now down and out also did not sell this building, this building in, Zhu family seems to still not fall down the frame of the Zhu family.
Gao Wei Nan had heard too much from Mrs. Ma about the Zhu family’s lack of money, and thought that by speaking in this way he would be able to gain Miss Yang’s heart and successfully marry the Zhu family’s daughter.
He did not know where the problem, obviously in the hometown let the female family want to charge as much dowry as much dowry is the most sincere marriage, but Miss Yang did not move at all, and her mother, Ms. Zhu did not half happy.
Gao Wei Nan had to say: “I am sincere. Ms. Zhu, please reconsider, and when my parents come, I’ll pay a visit.” And then fell away.
Zhang Ma closed the door heavily, so angry that she was dizzy.
Zhu Yanshu hurriedly helped her back to the house with Yang Yucan and told her to lie down.
Zhang Ma was still furious and said, “This is a rascal! He won’t really rely on us just like that, right?”
Zhu Yanshu: “No, he’s just a kid, he doesn’t know what he’s doing, he listens to adults’ words and takes them seriously, I don’t know what Mrs. Ma is doing to our family in private, and this is how he came up with someone who thinks that he can knock us down with money, humph! A joke! I’ve seen more money in my life than his family has saved in ten lifetimes!” She settled Zhang Ma and couldn’t wait to get up and get ready to go to Mrs. Ma’s house.
“I’m going to scold her properly! Make her never dare to hit on my family again! A country bumpkin who doesn’t even have the smell of dirt washed off her body dares to want to marry my daughter! She really has eaten her bear heart and leopard’s guts!”
Zhu Yanshu of course will not go by herself, go out and say, outside the original watch did not enjoy watching the Mrs. and Mrs. suddenly excited, from the people gathered, all said to go to Mrs. Ma’s home to make things clear.
Zhu Yan Shu went back to the house to change a white mink fur shawl, put on a gold steel stone necklace and ring, dressed up in jewelry, with a group of wives to Mrs. Ma’s house.
Yang Yuyan was dumbfounded, and Yang Yucan did not expect things to turn out like this.
Only Zhang Ma rested for a while to slow down, sat up and said: “Don’t worry about your mother, your mother when she was young, she liked to call on her little sister to fight with others, every time she won, don’t worry.”
Yang Yuyan: “…… My mom is actually this temper?”
Yang Yuchan was a child and saw a few times, just a long time has been forgotten, now think of it, at this time will not be able to speak.
Zhang Ma cut two pieces of plaster on the temples, feel the sudden jump of the temples a little better, leaning on the bed, said: “Their group of young lady, young master’s, do you think all are good children? I’ll tell you the truth, the trouble your mom caused when she was young was much bigger than what the two of you are causing now.”
Yang Yu Cicada was instantly surprised, was that actually the case?
Yang Yuyan was even more surprised, “What trouble did I cause?”
Zhang Ma rolled her eyes and muttered something about “pretending to be sick and not going to school”.
