Chapter 470: Even Became a Father (4)_1
Fang Fu frowned, "Qinqin’s marriage arrangement has already been settled by father, and Young Master Shen also..."
Lady Ruan chided him with a smile, "Qinqin’s situation is of course delicate, and Young Master Shen is so affectionate, naturally, I wish the best for Qinqin! It was just that a few days ago, someone inquired about Pei Yuan, and seeing that the two are of similar age, I discussed it with you."
Fang Fu nodded, thought for a while, and also felt that it was not an easy subject to broach, "Fang Fang is also of a similar age, she’s even a few months older than Pei Yuan. If we bypass Fang Fang and propose for Pei Yuan, if it’s agreed then it’s fine, but if it doesn’t work out..."
"That’s why I’m consulting with you!" Lady Ruan said with a laugh. If they bypassed Fang Fang without consulting and sought Pei Yuan’s hand in marriage, it would certainly make the elder brother and sister-in-law uncomfortable, and it wouldn’t be good to create a rift.
Normally, Fang Fu didn’t meddle much in these affairs, so he said he would ask his parents; if father didn’t object, then it was indeed possible to propose.
Could Lady Yu be unaware that Lady Ruan had a nephew from her maternal family who was quite good in all aspects!? They had met two years earlier, but for these two years, ever since the marriage discussions for Fang Fang began, he had not visited Fang Family Village anymore during the festivals. She certainly understood. Watching Lady Ruan and Grandma Fang whispering, all that talk about Chen Jie, Chen Jie, and when she came over, they stopped talking. Lady Yu actually felt a bit uncomfortable. Even if she was anxious about her daughter’s marriage arrangement, she wasn’t so narrow-minded as to be unable to bear such talk.
Grandma Fang hadn’t seen Ruan Chenjie for two years. She went to ask Old Scholar Fang if this marriage proposal was possible and to call the young man over for a good look.
Old Scholar Fang had been pondering over Pei Qin’s marriage arrangement. If she didn’t marry, the younger brothers and sisters couldn’t bypass her. Pei Wendong was still young, and Pei Qian could also wait a few more years, but Pei Yuan would turn fifteen after the new year, and that couldn’t be delayed. It so happened that he wanted to inquire about Shen Songming’s situation and took the opportunity during the market day to ask Pei Qin.
Pei Qin had just sent away a matchmaker.
