Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

When Yan Tonglin returned to the Yan Mansion, he immediately told Jiang Qingqing the news that Yan Ci was already in the palace.

Jiang Qingqing and Yan Tonglin were equally surprised when they saw Yan Ci in the palace, but when they learned that Yan Ci was serving His Majesty, they gradually felt relieved.

Then he talked to Yan Tonglin about Yan Ru's marriage.

Yan Ru and Han Liang's wedding is scheduled for the beginning of next spring, in March, when all things come back to life and flowers bloom, which is a very good omen.

But now, at most, there are only five months left, and the two families have only exchanged the Engagement Letter, and have not yet accepted the Acceptance of the Marriage Certificate or the Conscription Certificate.

As the mistress of the Yan family, Jiang Qingqing is responsible for the marriage and establishment of families for these illegitimate sons and daughters.

As the New Year is approaching, the engagement process that was originally scheduled to be completed before the New Year has been delayed for a long time. If it is delayed any further, I am afraid the wedding date will be postponed.

But for women, it is unlucky if the wedding date is postponed or advanced.

While helping Yan Tonglin take off his official uniform and change into plain clothes, Jiang Qingqing said, "My husband, you and Lord Han are officials in the same dynasty. Why don't you find out from the side when the Han family will accept the marriage proposal? It's not a good idea to keep dragging it on like this."

Yan Tonglin opened his arms and let Jiang Qingqing put on his coat. He readily agreed, "Okay, I'll ask Han Qi after the court session tomorrow."

Yan Tonglin fastened the buttons of his collar, turned around, took Jiang Qingqing's soft little hand, and gently squeezed it twice, "I guess, it must be because their Han family does not have a mistress, and they are still unfamiliar with the process of getting married. Unlike our Yan family, we have such a beautiful, virtuous, gentle and housekeeping mistress."

Jiang Qingqing blushed at Yan Tonglin's praise, and said coquettishly, "It's hard to say. Who knows if the Han family is planning something in private?"

"It doesn't matter what you plan, but you can't lack anything necessary for marriage. If it's missing, I won't marry my daughter to their family."

Yan Tonglin spoke with great confidence, but when he thought of Yan Ru's eagerness to throw herself at him, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

In the past, he thought Xiaojiu was perfect in every way, smart and clever, and his words always touched his heart.

But I don’t know since when, Xiaojiu has become more and more unlikable, becoming spoiled and willful, and not listening to discipline.

On the other hand, his stepdaughter Yan Ci, who had always been looked down upon by him, had become more and more well-behaved and sensible, and now had won the favor of His Majesty.

If nothing unexpected happens, Yan Ci will have no problem finding a good marriage considering how much favor she enjoys from His Majesty.

By then, if Yan Ci succeeded, the entire Yan family would also benefit.

It can be seen that it doesn’t matter whether she is his biological daughter or not. The one who can bring him tangible benefits is his biological daughter, a good daughter.

The next day, before Yan Tonglin went to find Han Qi to ask about the situation, as soon as he returned to the mansion from the morning court, he saw a fat middle-aged woman standing at the gate.

Seeing Yan Tonglin coming over, he immediately waved his handkerchief and greeted him enthusiastically, "Hey, this must be Lord Yan."

Yan Tonglin hurriedly avoided the strong smell of powder coming towards him, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could attract flies. "Who are you?"

The woman grinned and said, "I'm Matchmaker Zhang from Fugui Lane. I'm here on behalf of Mr. Han to give the betrothal gift to Miss Nine."

Hearing that it was a betrothal gift, Yan Tonglin's brows relaxed, "Then come into the mansion, my wife is here."

Yan Tonglin and Matchmaker Zhang walked in one after another.

When Han Qi brought his son Han Liang to the house, he had already brought a lot of betrothal gifts. This time, since he asked the matchmaker to come, he actually didn't need to bring any more betrothal gifts.

But as they watched box after box of things being carried into the mansion, Yan Tonglin and Jiang Qingqing looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Why is the Han family so generous?

The betrothal gifts brought by matchmaker Zhang totaled ten boxes, plus the six boxes given when she first came to the door, it was considered a very generous betrothal gift.

Because not only that, there will be other processes such as Naji and Nazheng later, and the gifts brought each time will only be richer than the previous one.

By this calculation, by the time Yan Ru gets married, the dowry and gift will be at least sixty or seventy loads.

Although it is not as good as the mansions of dukes, marquises or earls, it is still outstanding among ordinary officials' families.

It was beyond everyone's expectation that Yan Ru, a daughter born out of wedlock, could receive such a generous marriage allowance.

Aunt Zhao, who was originally unhappy because the Han family delayed the engagement process without reason, suddenly felt more favorable towards them after seeing this scene.

He happily pulled his daughter Yan Ru to the side of the box to look at it, and he couldn't wait to open the box to see what treasures were inside.

She felt very pleased with herself, thinking that she and her daughter had made the right choice.

Han Liang is the only son of the Han family. Everything in the Han family will belong to Han Liang in the future. Her daughter is the mistress of the family, which means that everything belongs to her daughter.

Looking at this generous betrothal gift, it is just the tip of the iceberg. When my daughter marries into the Han family, won’t she also be looked up to by others?

Aunt Zhao couldn't stop smiling. After all, Yan Ru was still young and shy, so she was reserved. When Aunt Zhao dragged her to see Matchmaker Zhang, her face was already red with shame.

Matchmaker Zhang was also a good talker. Her plump figure made her more approachable. She grabbed Yan Ru and started praising her to the highest standards.

"Ninth Miss, you are truly a fairy-like person. No wonder Mr. Han wants to use such a generous gift to marry you. Anything less would not be worthy of our Ninth Miss's beauty. Ninth Miss and Mr. Han are truly a match made in heaven. As a matchmaker, I have done the right thing."

At this time, Han Qi, who had sent a matchmaker to the Han Mansion, told his son to visit the Yan family more often when he had nothing to do.

Han Liang sat on the chair with his legs crossed. After taking two bites of fruit cake, he interrupted his father's nagging nonchalantly.

"Why should I go? After we get married, I'll have to see him every day. I'll be sick of him. Don't I deserve to enjoy the happy days before marriage for a few more days?"

Han Qi glared and said unhappily, "Don't you see the girls in Hongfang Pavilion every day? I don't think you are tired of talking about them."

"How can it be the same? The girls in Hongfang Pavilion are proficient in all kinds of martial arts. Their figures, their tastes..."

"Shut up! Do you have any shame?"

Han Qi looked at his son who was becoming more and more unruly, and his anger was rising. "It has only been a short while since the scandal was resolved. The wedding is approaching, so please don't cause any more trouble for me. If you ruin this marriage, I will break your legs!"

Han Liang turned his back to Han Qi, imitated Han Qi's angry expression, and spoke like him with a grin.

His father always says he will break his legs, and he has been saying this since he was a child. It has been more than 20 years, and he still says this, but his legs are still fine.

What is there to be afraid of? The ninth daughter of his Yan family is eager to marry him. She is willing to marry him even though she knows he has a bad reputation. So what else does he have to worry about?

But this is also a good thing, at least I won't restrict him after marriage.

He should have some fun, just coax her regularly.

As a woman, she should obey her father at home and her husband after marriage. He is her husband and is her heaven.
