Comprehensive Film and Television: Starting from An Lingrong, becoming the king of rolls

Zhao Zongquan was cautious by nature. Since he wanted to propose marriage for his son, he had to do it with due etiquette.

After all, this is a marriage, not a feud.

What's more, the Sheng family is a clear stream, a well-known family, and a scholarly family.

Sheng Hong has an excellent reputation.

If someone comes to propose marriage, will they agree to it?

Although he was a descendant of the Zhao family, he was sent to Yuzhou and was looked upon by the imperial court for many years.

Looking at it this way, the Sheng family may not be willing to marry their daughter into their own family.

Zhao Zongquan thought about it again and again, and finally decided that it would be safer to ask an intermediary to mention it in a vague way first.

In this way, if the Sheng family disagrees, there will be room for change.

Zhao Zongquan thought about it and wrote a letter to Brother Ninth.

His brothers were all appointed as military envoys or regimental officers, and were not in Bianjing.

Only Ninth Brother was favored by the officials because he was fond of ancient studies and had tens of thousands of volumes of books in his family.

They are all scholars, so I think they have some contacts with the Sheng family.

Zhao Zongquan has an ordinary relationship with this ninth brother. Fortunately, they are brothers after all, which is better than rashly asking for help from courtiers whom they don't know.

After Zhao Zongquan's ninth brother Zhao Zongsheng received the letter and the gift, he agreed because he was his brother after all.

Soon I went to Sheng's house with my things.

When Sheng Hong received the post, he was still confused.

Although both of them were scholars, Zhao Zhi said that he was a member of the clan, and he and the other party had never crossed paths.

Why are you suddenly coming to visit?

Sheng Hong received Zhao Zongsheng in confusion. After the two chatted, Zhao Zongsheng revealed the vague purpose of his visit.

Only then did Sheng Hong realize that this was for his girl!

That’s all, but it’s Mo Lan whom I love very much!

Moreover, the candidate Zhao Zongsheng proposed was Zhao Ceying, the son of Zhao Tuanlian in Yuzhou, whom he had never heard of.

This made Sheng Hong even more confused.

He knew Zhao Tuanlian, but Zhao Ceying... he hadn't seen it either?

What if he is a dandy?

As Sheng Hong thought this, he felt inexplicably familiar with the name Zhao Ceying in his mind.

How come it feels familiar to me?

Fortunately, discussing marriage could not be accomplished in one go, not to mention that Zhao Zongsheng was the middleman and only came to test the wishes of the Sheng family.

If it was the first time that a middleman came to the door, and the Sheng family refused very firmly, there would be no need to continue the negotiation.

After all, when discussing marriage, one cannot buy or sell by force.

An idle clan like them has a sensitive status, and now they have to act even more cautiously.

Fortunately, although Sheng Hong didn't know who Zhao Ceying was, he didn't explicitly refuse, but his attitude was vague.

This means we can talk about it next time.

Zhao Zongsheng knew that he had to give the Sheng family time to think about it, so he said goodbye.

Sheng Hong, who sent Zhao Zongsheng away, also began to think about it.

He didn't refuse outright. First, he was always cautious and would not be very firm until the matter was clear.

Second, the things Zhao Zongsheng brought were no ordinary objects at first glance.

Since Zhao Zongsheng came to the door as a middleman, he definitely couldn't pay for what he brought.

Therefore, these things must have been prepared by the training envoy of Yuzhou Zhao Tuan.

Sheng Hong glanced at it and knew how valuable these items were.

It's not that he is greedy for things, after all, the Sheng family also has money.

Sheng Hong has a cousin who is the richest man in Youyang, and he has no shortage of money at all.

Otherwise, do you really think that he can marry the eldest lady home just by relying on his talent?

Sheng Hong is not short of money, but since Zhao Tuanlian can prepare these valuables, it shows that he is sincere.

This means that the Zhao family not only values ​​the Sheng family, but also Mo Lan.

Moreover, as Mo Lan was Sheng Hong's most favored daughter, he certainly hoped that his daughter would marry well.

But Sheng Hong hesitated.

This Zhao Tuanlian is, after all, a member of the clan.

Although they are an idle clan, they have a special status.

It seems a little inappropriate to discuss marriage with the other party at this juncture...

Sheng Hong thought again and again, and sent someone to find out about Zhao Tuanlian and his son in Yuzhou.

He wanted to see Xin'er before making a decision.

It is related to Mo Lan's marriage and should not be taken lightly.

Moreover, the old lady valued Mo Lan, and Mo Lan was recorded in the lady's name.

There is also Shuang'er, Mo Lan's biological mother.

He always wants to inform a few people before making plans.

"The son of the training envoy of Zhao regiment in Yuzhou?"

When the old lady heard this, she was stunned and looked at Fang's mother beside her.

Fang’s mother was also shocked, remembering what happened three years ago.

When they were in danger in Tongqiu, Mo Lan asked the old lady to ask for help while he lured away the bandits.

But when Fang's mother finally arrived with someone, she found that Mo Lan had been rescued, and he was the son of the training envoy of Zhao Tuan in Yuzhou.

Could it be that it was because of this that the other party came to ask for marriage?

However, when she returned to the Sheng family, the old lady only briefly talked to Sheng Hong and mentioned Zhao Ceying's rescue, but she didn't go into too much detail.

After all, Zhao Ceying was a foreigner, and the old lady was afraid that if more people knew about it, it would damage Mo Lan's reputation.

This is why Sheng Hong inexplicably feels that the name Zhao Ceying is familiar, but can't think of where he has heard it.

Anyone who heard a name three years ago would probably not be able to remember it three years later, right?

Although Sheng Hong sent a thank you gift afterwards, it was all done by Fang's mother, and Sheng Hong really didn't pay much attention.

And the thank-you gift from Fang’s mother was indeed sent to Yuzhou.

But when the thank-you gift arrived, Zhao Ceying happened to be at home, so she accepted it directly without telling her mother.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Zhao Zongquan and his wife do not know the past between Zhao Ceying and Mo Lan.

The old lady was silent. Did Zhao Ceying fall in love with Mo Yatou three years ago?

But Mo girl hadn’t even gotten hairpins at that time!

It's a pity that she has never seen that little brother Zhao, and she doesn't know what he looks like.

The old lady thought for a while, if he was a good man and he was so infatuated with Mo Yatou, he would be a good husband.

You just need to find out more clearly before you can make a decision.

So he hid what happened three years ago and didn't tell Sheng Hong.

"If this little brother Zhao is of good character, I might consider it."

The old lady loves Mo Lan now, and naturally she wants to make Mo Lan live a smooth and happy life.

If she could marry someone who treated her sincerely, I think Mo Yatou would be much better off.

The old lady suffered for half her life because of the discord between her husband and wife.

After all, he didn't want his beloved granddaughter to suffer the same hardship.

Moreover, Zhao Ceying's family background is not bad. Just looking at the things Zhao Zongsheng brought, you can see that the Zhao family is not living a poor and miserable life.

And he has great respect for Mo Lan.

Although his status is a bit sensitive, he is still an idle clan, and he is not the king of Yan and Yong.

The old lady didn't have high requirements for Mo Lan's marriage, she just wanted her to live a happy and stable life.

A woman is much happier if she marries a husband who truly loves her and loves her than if she marries a man she likes.

The latter is just too bitter.
