"I understand what the patriarch means, but after much thought, I think it would be better to decide on the marriage early. After all, an engagement is not a marriage. If something happens, you can still cancel it."
Lian Ripple has something to say. Pointing said.
After listening to Ripple's words, Patriarch Su's expression became better, and she understood the meaning of his words.
The old patriarch picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and then said:
"I understand what you mean, but the status of the person you are looking for to be engaged is a bit low."
< br>
"Clan leader, I know you are thinking about me and the face of the Su family, but it is precisely because of the low status of the other party that it is easy to control. If I really settle on a high-ranking family, it doesn't matter whether my current status is worthy of it. It is easy to be underestimated by the other party. If there is a better choice in the future, I will be passive."
Lianli said meaningfully.
"It seems that you are very confident about your future scientific research path."
Clan Chief Su said with a smile as his eyes flashed.
"Lianyi has been living in poverty for ten years. I think I still have some talent in scientific examinations, and I will definitely live up to the expectations of my family and parents."
Lianyi said firmly.
“As long as you know what to do, although you are not the most promising in the clan, you are a direct descendant of my lineage, and I have great expectations for you.
I am old and will retire from the position of clan leader in two years. I will try my best to provide you with the greatest help within the limited time. "
Clan Leader Su made it clear. The advantage also hints to Lianyi that before she becomes famous, she still needs to rely on her clan.
Lianyi responded with a smile, and then changed the topic:
"Patriarch, for the sake of convenience in the future, there is no word about my engagement to Brother Wen. How did you know about it?"
"My child, you are still too young. There is no airtight wall in this world. Although you keep filial piety on Zhuangzi, there are still many people paying attention to you."
Clan Chief Su said calmly.
"Hey, Lianyi's method is too immature. Since the clan leader knows about the matter, it is estimated that everyone in Qingshan County should know about it, so my plan will have to be adjusted."< br>
Lianyi helplessly spread her hands.
"What was your original plan?"
Clan Chief Su asked directly.
“Originally, I got engaged just so that I could legitimately refuse some people’s attempt to tie me up by marrying me, so everyone knew that I didn’t intend to make a fuss. Now that the engagement has been spread, what will happen when it comes out? After the filial piety period, you must get married first."
"Don't worry about it. The rural examination will be held soon after you leave the filial piety period. You can wait until you pass the rural examination first."
Clan Chief Su said calmly. .
Now that I think about it, it would be good to have someone occupy the position of Ripple's betrothed husband, so as to save those people from coming to intercede with me.
"I don't care, I just don't want to be talked about."
"We'll see when the time comes, there will always be a way to solve the matter."
Then Ripple and The clan leader and the clansmen of their lineage chatted for a while, and then Ripple invited the clansmen to have lunch in the dining room, hoping to get rid of these people early.
After Lianyi sat down, An He came over and whispered to Lianyi:
"Miss, the Wen brothers and sisters are back."
Lianyi nodded, and this time said to the leader of the Su clan:
"Clan chief, Brother Ming is here with his sister, I Bring him here to pay homage to the elders."
"Well, bring him here so that we can help you with your eyes."
Clan Chief Su nodded.
Ripple then left the table and went to see the Wen brothers and sisters.
After Wen Zhaoming came back with his sister to offer sacrifices, he was still a little depressed when he heard Ripple's voice:
"Brother Ming, Yueyue, are you in the house?"
"Miss Lianyi, we are here!"
Yueyue was the first to respond. She always knew who was good to her, so she always smiled when she saw Lianyi. "Miss Lianyi, what's the matter? Just ask someone to tell you, and I'll go directly to see you."
At this time Wen Zhaoming also put away the expression on his face, took his sister's hand and walked out of the house.
Lianyi stood outside the door and did not go in. Mainly to avoid suspicion, he said:
"Brother Ming, the heads of our Su clan are here and are having lunch. They I haven’t met you yet. I want to take you to meet people. They are the elders of my mother’s lineage.”
“Is it appropriate for me to go like this?”
Wen Zhaoming was a little nervous and stuttered when he spoke.
"It's okay, I just want to recognize the elders. They are very curious about what kind of person I recognize as the man."
Lianyi said with a smile.
"Then wait for me for a while, and I'll change into clothes suitable for guests."
Wen Zhaoming pulled the clothes on his body and decided to change.
"Okay, I'll wait for you here, and Yueyue will go with me."
Lianyi said to him with a smile.
"Then I'll go change into a new set of clothes."
As soon as Wen Zhaoyue heard that she also wanted to meet Lianyi's elders, she immediately turned around and ran back to the house, also asking for a new set of clothes.
A quarter of an hour later, the first one and the second one went out. They both changed into new clothes, obviously wanting to leave a good impression on the Su family.
Lianyi knew that the two of them were nervous, and comforted them as they walked:
"Brother Ming, Yueyue, you don't need to be nervous. Although they are the elders of my Su family, I can be the master of my own home. , you just need to be polite, I will take care of the rest."
"Okay, I'll note it down."
Wen Zhaoming nodded and agreed obediently. He took a deep breath before the door.
"Patriarch, elders, this is my fiance, Wen Zhaoming, and this is his sister, Wen Zhaoyue."
"Wen Zhaoming (Wen Zhaoyue) has met the clan leader and all the elders."
The two of them bowed respectfully, and then raised their heads to look at the members of the Su family.
In addition to the clan leader, the Su family also came to the Su family this time with four clan members, all of whom had business dealings with the original mother.
Clan Chief Su looked at the two people who made no mistakes in etiquette and nodded with satisfaction. When the two raised their heads, she frowned. It was really that Wen Zhaoming's appearance was too rough and unsuitable. The appearance of the backyard husband.
As if he didn't see the disgust in the clan leader's eyes, Lianyi calmly led the two of them over and introduced the members of the Su family one by one.
After all, they were on Lianyi's territory. Even though he was dissatisfied, Chief Su did not show it and chatted with the Wen brothers and sisters with a friendly smile.
After the clan members had had enough food and wine, Lianyi took Wen Zhaoming and personally sent them out of Sujiazhuang.
Looking at the carriage going away, Wen Zhaoming sighed and said:
“Miss Lianyi.”
“Why are you still calling me so unfamiliar? Didn’t I tell you before? Do you want to call me Ripple? ”
"Lianyi, the elders in the clan don't seem to be very satisfied with me. If they let you..."
"They must be dissatisfied with you, let alone you, and they are not very satisfied with me either. You don't need to worry at all. "
Lianyi smiled and waved.
Wen Zhaoming's eyes widened after hearing this. What does this mean?
“They wanted to choose a suitable husband for me in the clan and tie me to the Su clan. Unfortunately, my mother was not willing at the beginning, and I was even less willing, so The clan leader only knew about your engagement, so he came to investigate.”
My dears, I'm sorry. After a day off yesterday, Fengling went to the hospital again. This time, my mother had a toothache. She went there all morning again today, and my father stayed with her in the afternoon, so the update is late. I'll try my best to make it ten o'clock. I’ll add another chapter, thank you for your understanding.
