Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1332 - 546: Marriage Proposal (Part 2)

Yueyao was not familiar with Zeng Dazhuang. She was worried that if Yuehuan didn’t marry from the Lian family, Zeng Dazhuang might look down on her, so Yueyao wanted Tingyi and Tingyuan to step in. That way, Zeng Dazhuang would know that Yuehuan had brothers from her maternal family to rely on. It wasn’t that Yueyao didn’t trust Zeng Dazhuang, but she wanted Yuehuan to have more leverage. Of course, Yueyao hadn’t mentioned this to anyone.

Zhou Yue chatted for a while before leaving.

Yueyao was as busy as a spinning top these days, and she didn’t keep Zhou Yue, only smiling and saying, "Once everything is sorted out, we’ll have a good chat."

Zeng Dazhuang received the news that Lian Dongfang was not agreeing to this marriage, and he was extremely anxious, unable to resist seeking out the Chief Steward of the An Mansion.

Upon hearing that Zeng Dazhuang came to inquire, Yueyao couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed she was worrying needlessly; judging by this, Zeng Dazhuang was extremely satisfied with Yuehuan: "The marriage hasn’t changed, we just need to wait a couple more days, and once the Lian family affairs are settled, someone will inform him."

Zeng Dazhuang felt that these days were more torturous than fighting battles in the Northwest!

Yueyao was busy with moving and didn’t have time to deal with Yuehuan’s affairs; indeed, she didn’t need to anymore.

An Zhichen took Yueyao to the Main Courtyard, smiling and saying, "Why does this room’s setup look different from before?"

Yueyao laughed and said, "This was Xiang Wei’s idea; she said a new place naturally deserves a new look. So, we changed the style; do you like it?"

An Zhichen nodded and said, "As long as it’s arranged by you, I like it." To him, a room was just a place to sleep; he had no other requirements.

Yueyao didn’t expect An Zhichen to be quite good at speaking sweet words, but she was still very pleased, "I originally intended for Brother Shengsheng and the others to have one courtyard each, but Xiang Wei said it’s better for the three brothers to live together. I asked the brothers, and they didn’t want to separate either. So now they are still living together."

An Zhichen laughed and said, "Elder Wang’s house is almost an hour round trip from here? Are you planning to have Brother Feifei make the journey every day?" When they lived in Yuhua Alley, Brother Feifei travelled to the Wang Family in just half an hour round trip, so he would return home every day.

Yueyao thought for a moment and said, "Let’s ask Brother Feifei what’s on his mind." Brother Feifei had been a decisive child since young, and Yueyao respected his choices.

Brother Feifei listened to Yueyao’s words and said, "Mother, I want to learn horseback riding with Father. In the future, I’ll ride to the teacher’s house." Riding a horse is faster than taking a carriage, which would save a lot of time.

Yueyao was a little unhappy, "Son, it will be very tiring for you. Although horseback riding is fast, it’s tough to handle in rainy or snowy weather."

Brother Feifei shook his head and said, "Mother, I’m not afraid of the hardship. Mother, once I turn ten, I’ll live at the teacher’s house." It was rare for Father to return, and their family was together, so Brother Feifei didn’t want to miss it.

Yueyao consistently respected Brother Feifei’s opinion, "I’ll ask your father about this; if he agrees, then I have no objections." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

An Zhichen couldn’t be happier that his son was willing to learn horseback riding from him; how could he have any objections? "Once I’m done with these days’ busy matters, I’ll teach them to ride."

Brother Shengsheng and Brother Xuxu were extremely excited to hear this news. They’ve always wanted to learn to ride horses, but Yueyao was against it, fearing they’d get hurt because they were too young.

An Zhichen saw Yueyao still calculating accounts late at night, the corners of his mouth raised. He feared that in the minds of the world, Yueyao’s hands should be used for writing and painting, not like now for accounting. An Zhichen held Yueyao’s hand and said, "All right, don’t calculate today. Don’t tire yourself out too much; take things slowly, there’s no rush."

Yueyao didn’t want to do these chores either, but she had no choice, "In a few days, we’re going to host guests, every aspect needs to be prepared thoroughly, no mistakes can be made."

An Zhichen closed the account book and said, "Even in a hurry, it won’t hurt to take some time. Sleep early!" Yueyao had been busy and getting thinner.

Yueyao didn’t go against An Zhichen’s wishes.

Yuebing wasn’t surprised that Yuehuan was remarrying, but she was extremely astonished to learn the suitor wasn’t from Hanlin Academy but rather a military general. Yuebing knew about a person from Hanlin Academy with the surname Yu proposing to marry Yuehuan, but she hadn’t heard of Zeng Dazhuang.

The Steward Lady at Lian Mansion said, "This Lord Zeng’s hometown is in the Northwest, and he is a subordinate of the Third Son-in-law. It was Third Aunt who acted as the matchmaker, and Second Old Master also thought this marriage was good, so he agreed."
