Chapter 165 Exploration
Guan Surong was already overjoyed when she heard Yan Yuzhi say this, but she still lowered her head in a shy manner, "I can't make the decision on marriage myself. It's always the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words."
Yan Yuzhi also smiled, and then blamed himself, "I was rude, I hope you can forgive me, but the way I treat you is known to all."
As Yan Yuzhi spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Guan Surong. "That day in Bishuitang, the lady's handkerchief fell on the ground and I picked it up. If I kept such a personal item, I'm afraid it would be bad for the lady, so I'm returning it to her now."
"Since it has been found by my husband, I will just regard it as his stuff." Guan Surong smiled faintly and glanced outside. "It's getting late now. I should go back. Otherwise, if I come back too late, my uncle will be worried."
Yan Yuzhi didn't know how to stop her after hearing this, so he hurriedly sent Guan Surong downstairs, and the two talked for a while.
Seeing that Guan Surong was about to get on the carriage, Yan Yuzhi hurriedly took out a box of bracelets from his sleeve and handed it to Guan Surong, saying to her, "Since I took the handkerchief embroidered by Miss Rong herself, I should return the gift. This bracelet is my return gift to Miss Rong."
Guan Surong was also a little surprised to see Yan Yuzhi's generosity. She looked at Yan Yuzhi and said, "My dear, you and I have only met twice. How can I accept such an expensive thing from you?"
"If the young lady doesn't accept it, it will be a real disgrace to Yuzhi. How can Yuzhi face the young lady again in the future?" Yan Yuzhi sighed and said slowly, "This bracelet is just a token of my appreciation. In Yuzhi's heart, the young lady's grace is beyond the reach of these vulgar things. Unfortunately, Yuzhi can only use these vulgar things to express his sincere feelings."
Seeing this, Guan Surong couldn't refuse, so she just looked at Yan Yuzhi and said softly, "Since you said so, I will accept this bracelet. I hope you won't spend so much effort next time. I really don't deserve it."
Yan Yuzhi watched Guan Surong get on the carriage, then turned around and left reluctantly.
Now, Guan Surong is Yan Yuzhi's best choice. Although Guan Surong is not the biological daughter of the General's Mansion, she can benefit from the General's Mansion and be protected by it. This is the best thing.
Guan Surong, who was now in the car, also showed a winner's smile and took out the table to admire it slowly. The finest mutton-fat jade was cool to the touch, which was perfect.
Yan Yuzhi was really generous, and he gave such a good thing. Guan Surong looked at Tao Hong beside her and smiled faintly, "Who do you think is better, cousin Song Lan from the general's mansion or this young man?"
Tao Hong thought about it and actually came up with an idea for Guan Surong, "The young lady is extremely beautiful, she would be a good match for anyone. But in my opinion, this young man is better. General Lan is always indifferent, but this young man is very warm to the young lady, and he is also a gentle and elegant gentleman, and he is willing to buy things for the young lady. What's more, didn't General Lan say some time ago that the Yan Mansion is much higher than the General's Mansion?"
After hearing Taohong's words, Guan Surong felt that it made sense, but she still took the things to discuss with Mrs. Guan.
Guan Surong didn't say anything, but Taohong beside her kept talking, "Madam, you don't know, our girl went to the West Market, and the young man was very handsome. When he saw the girl, he invited her to have tea. He also said that he fell in love with the girl at first sight and wanted to marry her. From my point of view, this young man is much better than my cousin Lan from the General's Mansion."
After all, Madam Guan had been eating for more than ten years longer than Guan Surong. After hearing what Taohong said, she was a little surprised. "Since the Yan family is a wealthy family, why would they come to ask for Surong's hand in marriage? I'm afraid they are more than enough to marry Ning Jie'er."
Tao Hong has now completely sided with Yan Yuzhi, "He said he fell in love with our girl at first sight, and everything else is vulgar. That man spent a lot of money to buy a bracelet for our girl. He's so generous even though we just met. I'm afraid he won't be able to spend all the money in the future."
Guan Surong also chimed in, "Mother, I think this young man is better than Cousin Lan. Cousin Lan already has a lover. If I intervene now, it will be difficult and I will have to think of ways to do it. But this young man Yan is a handsome man and he still loves me deeply."
"No, you have to be more cautious. Just wait for mother to find out what the Yan family's status is in the capital now." Mrs. Guan was still cautious. She looked at her mother and said, "Find out what the Yan family is in the capital now. Don't let any small family come to seduce our Su Rong."
After hearing what Madam Guan said, Guan Surong just sat beside her and said coquettishly, "Now that we met in Bishuitang, there shouldn't be any problem. Mother, just relax. We'll be able to give you an explanation when Madam Li comes back after questioning her."
After hearing what Mrs. Guan said, Mother Li went out to do some work. However, when she reached the door, she heard two little maids talking about the Yan family.
"I used to work for the Yan family. The mansion had a large courtyard with seven entrances. It was big and magnificent. If I hadn't done something wrong and been kicked out, I'm afraid I would still be making money from the Yan family now." The little maid's words were full of regret.
Another little maid was also shocked when she heard her words, "Is it the Yan family, the richest family in Beijing? They are very rich, I am afraid they have more money than they can spend in several lifetimes, their father and brother are both promising."
When Mother Li heard this, her heart settled down and she turned around to report to Mrs. Guan.
"Is that what the maids said?" Madam Guan listened to Madam Li's words, but she was still a little worried. She looked at Madam Li and said, "Just wait for me to ask my eldest brother tomorrow to find out where the Yan family came from."
Mrs. Guan had made up her mind to ask about Song Jing's news, but she didn't expect that Song Jing was away for two consecutive days. Only Song Lan was still in the mansion, so Mrs. Guan placed her hopes on Song Lan.
Now, it was not easy to ask directly about this matter. Madam Guan looked at Song Lan and said calmly, "Brother Lan, I wonder if Su Rong had any problems studying at Bishui Hall recently? She has never seen the world, so don't make a fool of herself."
"My cousin is smart, and everything is going well in Bishuitang." Song Lan looked at Madam Guan and smiled directly, "Aunt, do you have anything else you want to ask me?"
Madam Guan seized the opportunity to ask the question in her heart, "I heard that there is a classmate of yours in Bishui Hall named Yan Yuzhi, I wonder what his background is?"
