Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 95 Righteous Spirit (610)
Xuanxuan?

Hu Yufen looked at Zhao Xuan, who was bowing her head and carefully embroidering.

This girl is the youngest in Zhao Shuan's family, a little over a year younger than Anu, and has now passed the age of coming of age.

In terms of appearance, Zhao Xuan is a fairly average girl; she's not stunning, but she's very pleasing to the eye.

She vaguely heard Wang Ying mention that in the past two years, many matchmakers had come to her home to propose marriage.

"Sister-in-law, I think Xiaoxuan is a good girl."

"It's our Anu..."

The thought that Anu was still under a "stay-at-home order" and had been staying at home all these years would inevitably lead to gossip from the villagers.

I fear Wang Ying might find it distasteful.

“This…” Wang Ying paused for a moment and then smiled, “Yu Fen, we’ve been sisters for so many years, so sister-in-law, just say what you have to say.”

“Anu is a boy my sister-in-law watched grow up and she likes him very much.”

"I would be very relieved if Xiaoxuan could marry him."

"The reason I didn't mention it is... because I was afraid Anu wouldn't like Xiaoxuan."

"He dares!?" Before Wang Ying could finish speaking, Hu Yufen immediately said, "That brat has caused me a lot of trouble over the years. This marriage is a big deal, and he can't afford to mess around with it."

"However..." Hu Yufen stood up and came to Zhao Xuan's side, asking softly, "Xiao Xuan, what do you think?"

Zhao Xuan's pretty face flushed red. She lowered her head, clutching the embroidery tightly in her hands, and said in a voice barely above a whisper, "It's all up to Father and Mother to decide..."

Women are reserved and often do not answer such questions directly.

Generally, if they are satisfied, they will say, "It's all up to my parents."

If they are not satisfied, they will often say, "I want to stay with my parents and take care of them for another two years."

Upon receiving Zhao Xuan's answer, Hu Yufen smiled.

She watched this girl grow up, knew her inside and out, and felt very at ease with her.

Besides, the Zhao couple are both kind-hearted people, so it would be a good thing to become in-laws with them.

“Sister-in-law, let’s leave it at that for now. I’ll go back and talk to Stone’s father. If it works out, we’ll find a matchmaker, go through the proper betrothal and formalities, and finalize the marriage.”

Wang Ying was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this: "Yu Fen, isn't this matter... a bit too urgent?"

Hu Yufen smiled faintly: "Sister-in-law, don't you want your two children to get married soon?"

Wang Ying looked at her daughter, then at Hu Yufen.

"Okay, sister-in-law will listen to you!"

……

The Shen family of Heishuitan.

Shen Yuan and Tang Xian, the county magistrate of Anyang County, walked out of their homes one after the other.

"Master Shen, I have come here for these two matters. You may know them."

Shen Yuan cupped his hands in greeting: "I'm troubling Magistrate Tang again..."

Tang Xian interrupted him with a smile and cupped his hands in greeting: "Patriarch Shen, from now on you shall address me as Lord Tang."

"This Yu Kingdom... exists in name only. We all need to rely on Luoxia Mountain now and do things for Luoxia Mountain."

Shen Yuan smiled and nodded: "It's kind of you to have City Lord Tang make the trip in person."

Tang Xian cupped his hands in greeting: "Master Shen, you are too kind. I will take my leave now."

Watching Tang Xian leave, Hu Yufen came up to him and asked, "Father, what brings Magistrate Tang here?"

Shen Yuan smiled faintly, his hands behind his back: "Good thing."

The couple chatted as they walked into the courtyard.

"So, from now on, the He family will rule Yunzhong County?"

Shen Yuan nodded: "It doesn't matter who owns the sky in Yunzhong County. From today onwards, the entire Jinliu Village belongs to our family."

“No one has the right to interfere in anything in Jinliu Village except for Luoxia Mountain.”

"Lord Tang has personally delivered the fish scale register and field measurement map of Jinliu Village. We need to have Shitou come back later so that my son and I can discuss it properly."

Hu Yufen was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this.

"By the way, what did Sister-in-law Zhao say?"

Shen Yuan spoke.

Hu Yufen immediately replied, "That's exactly what I was going to tell you."

"Dad, what do you think of Shuan's daughter, Xiaoxuan?"

"Xuan girl?" Shen Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "She's a good girl."

"Your age is about the same as our Anu's, right?" Hu Yufen nodded and smiled. "I've already made arrangements with Sister-in-law Zhao. As long as you agree, the marriage can be arranged."

Shen Yuan was silent for a moment before saying, "About Anu..."

He is essentially a 21st-century person, with the idea of ​​freedom in marriage deep down, and he is somewhat resistant to this kind of arranged marriage by his parents.

"I'll go talk to him."

Hu Yufen said something and then walked directly to the backyard.

Inside the room, Shen Wenyan was engrossed in reading "Feeding the Spirit" when his mother arrived, and he hurriedly got up.

"Auntie."

Hu Yufen smiled and nodded, then sat down to the side.

Shen Wenyan put down the book in his hand and sat down in front of her.

"Anu, there's something I need to tell you."

Shen Wenyan cupped his hands in greeting: "Mother, please speak."

Hu Yufen sighed and said, "You'll be of legal age in six months. What are your plans for the future?"

Shen Wenyan remained silent.

Over the years, he had been immersed in books and Lu Zhiyuan's new learning, and had never thought about the future.

When your older brother was your age, he was already married to your sister-in-law.

"I was thinking it was time to find you a wife."

Shen Wenyan remained silent.

His expression was somewhat blank and hesitant.

His inherent rebellious nature made him want to tell his mother that he had never thought about getting married and having children, at least not now.

However, more than ten years of instilling filial piety in him made him realize that his mother had worried herself sick over the years, and if he refused, it would definitely make her angry.

Hu Yufen continued talking to herself.

"This morning, your mother went to Uncle Zhao's house."

"Anu, what do you think of that girl Zhao Xuan?"

Mentioning Zhao Xuan, Shen Wenyan couldn't help but recall scenes from his childhood.

The little girl with snot on her face and two crooked pigtails on her head followed him around all day calling out "Brother Anu," "Brother Anu."

More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and with being confined to his home for the past few years, he can no longer remember what that girl looked like.

"Does Mother favor Zhao Xuan?"

Shen Wenyan asked with a faint smile.

Hu Yufen nodded slightly: "Mother saw Xuan'er today and thought she was quite good."

"Hmm." Shen Wenyan looked at his mother with a smile and said, "Mother, how about Rong'er consider it?"

Hu Yufen was slightly taken aback.

She had expected her son to object vehemently, and had prepared a variety of responses, even ready to assert her maternal authority and give him a good scolding.

Unexpectedly, things did not develop as I had hoped.

"well!"

"Think it over carefully, and give your mother a reply later. Your Uncle Zhao is still waiting."

Hu Yufen stood up with a smile and straightened her clothes: "Mother won't interfere with your studies."

After seeing his mother off, Shen Wenyan stood alone at the door, gazing at the distant sky.

After a long while, he walked out of his house and came to the small courtyard next to the Blackwater Pool.

"Uncle Ya, is the teacher here?"

At the entrance of the courtyard, Uncle Ya was busy arranging the lush green vegetables. Hearing the sound, he smiled, looked up, and pointed to the courtyard.

After bowing, Shen Wenyan walked straight inside.

In the pavilion in the courtyard, Lu Zhiyuan sat quietly in front of his desk, his eyes slightly closed.

A mysterious power surrounded its body.

As Shen Wenyan approached, he could vaguely sense a powerful and righteous aura permeating the pavilion.

"coming?"

The long-lost voice suddenly rang in his ears, and Shen Wenyan's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Lu Zhiyuan!
