Hearing this, Tong Fu didn't react, but Nian Jiaojiao and Tong Ziyao did.
Wasn't this asking Tong Fu to marry into the Huang family as a son-in-law?
No wonder they had agreed so readily before.
At this moment, Tong Ziyao spoke:
"If Fu'er joins your Huang family, and if a daughter is born in the future, what surname will she bear?"
The Huang mother's expression remained unchanged:
"Coming to our Huang family, she will naturally bear the Huang surname. However... if a son is born, he may take his mother's surname."
The Huang mother's words made Tong Fu pause.
It was then she understood, the other party was asking her to marry into the family as a son-in-law.
She was about to agree.
In fact, she didn't care about these matters.
But Nian Jiaojiao, who understood Tong Fu, immediately interrupted:
"Tong Fu is a woman, after all. If she were to marry into the family so openly, it might not look good."
The Huang mother picked up her teacup, took a sip, and then raised her eyebrows:
"Oh? I'd like to hear more."
The woman before her was a classmate of her daughter, and also the top scholar. Perhaps she might enter officialdom in the future, and become her son's connection. Naturally, she had to show some respect.
Nian Jiaojiao said:
"The purpose of marrying into the family is presumably because the Huang family head fears that Young Master Huang will be wronged, and also wants the daughter to bear the Huang surname. Why not find a compromise?"
"What kind of compromise?"
At this time, the Huang father couldn't help but speak.
This woman seemed willing to marry into the family, and she was a good person. Most importantly, she was the one his son's heart was set on. He was quite optimistic about the marriage.
Nian Jiaojiao explained:
"Qingzhou is the Huang family's territory. Tong Fu lives under the Huang family's watchful eye wherever she is. Moreover, the newly purchased residence is not far from the Huang mansion. Why insist on Tong Fu moving in?
As for the matter of offspring, Tong Fu doesn't know how many sons and daughters she will have in the future. Simply dividing them like this might not be ideal.
I propose that the first daughter born from now on bears the Huang surname, and subsequent daughters will bear the Tong surname.
This way, it shows that Tong Fu and Young Master Huang have a good relationship, and the label of marrying into the family is removed."
After speaking, Nian Jiaojiao looked at Tong Fu and Tong Ziyao.
Both of them nodded at her, agreeing with her proposal.
The Huang mother and Huang father, seated in the main seats, exchanged glances and also nodded in agreement with Nian Jiaojiao's plan.
Tong Ziyao breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
Fortunately, Jiaojiao accompanied him. Otherwise, Fu'er might have been branded with the title of a married-in daughter-in-law this time.
In the future, when walking outside, Fu'er would inevitably be looked down upon.
With that, the marriage was settled.
...
That evening, after Nian Jiaojiao finished bathing, she was drying her hair with a long piece of cloth.
"Wife, let me."
Nian Jiaojiao looked up at Nan Qing, narrowed her eyes, and enjoyed the sensation.
"Wife."
At this moment, Nan Qing suddenly spoke.
"What is it?"
Nian Jiaojiao didn't open her eyes, continuing to enjoy herself.
Nan Qing's movements did not stop, and he continued:
"Miss Tong will be getting married in a while."
"Yes, time flies so fast," Nian Jiaojiao sighed.
At this moment, Nan Qing stopped drying her hair and said:
"Miss Tong will be living in the newly purchased residence. What will Young Master Tong do then?"
Hearing this, Nian Jiaojiao was startled and opened her eyes.
Since it was a new residence, it wouldn't be appropriate for her husband's brother to immediately move in.
But it also wouldn't be appropriate to leave Tong Ziyao, an unmarried man, living with them...
She had been so busy that she had forgotten about this matter.
"This..."
Nian Jiaojiao was in a dilemma.
Nan Qing leaned down, resting his flawless chin gently on the crown of Nian Jiaojiao's head, his body enveloping the seated woman.
"Wife, Young Master Tong is Miss Tong's brother. Let Miss Tong handle this matter."
Hearing Nan Qing say this, Nian Jiaojiao thought it made sense.
After all, she was just an outsider.
However, if her help was needed, she would not hesitate.
"Wife..."
Nan Qing's voice echoed in Nian Jiaojiao's ear, the hot breath causing her earlobes to turn red.
This Nan Qing, starting last month, always tried to seduce her every time they slept together!
She never expected that Nan Qing, who usually appeared indifferent, was actually the most...
Thinking of Nan Qing's constant advances over the past month, Nian Jiaojiao's entire face turned red.
Truly a temptress!
Nan Qing, having admired the change in her expression, let out a low chuckle:
"Heh heh..."
In the past year or so, she had heard his "heh heh" countless times, but the one today made her feel a shiver.
Nian Jiaojiao said unnaturally:
"Be serious, you haven't dried my hair yet!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, there was a rustling sound of clothes being shed from behind her.
"Nan, Nan Qing?"
"Mm" (with a nasal sound)
Before Nian Jiaojiao could say anything else, the man behind her embraced her again.
Since she was only wearing undergarments, which were very light, she could clearly feel the warmth emanating from his skin.
She knew even without looking back.
Looking back would be a mosaic.
"Nan Qing... as a man, can't you be a little shy every time? You make me feel no sense of accomplishment at all!"
Nian Jiaojiao said loudly with a blushing face.
"Shh, keep your voice down."
Nan Qing did not let go and continued:
"That day, you said I was small. It's been a month, have you felt it clearly yet?"
Nian Jiaojiao:......
So this guy was still bothered by what happened at Juyuan that day.
I give up on this sly fox!
...
Three days later.
The news of Young Master Huang Mingxuan's wedding spread throughout Qingzhou's prefectural city.
"Did you hear? The Huang family's legitimate young master is getting married!"
"Which Huang family?"
"That Huang family!"
"Oh! So it's that Huang family. But it's just a wedding, is there a need to make such a fuss?"
"Heh, that's because you don't know. It's said that this Young Master Huang is marrying into a merchant family." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"A merchant family? How is that possible! These noble young masters are so arrogant, how could they look down on a merchant!"
"It's more than that. This merchant family isn't even a very wealthy one, just runs a bookshop. Oh, although it's said that there are branch shops being prepared."
"My goodness, the owner of this bookshop is really lucky! To marry into the Huang family, and still open a bookshop!?"
"Hey, you must have heard of this bookshop's name."
"What is it called?"
"Qinglian Bookshop."
...
At this moment, everyone in the city was gossiping.
Of course, the focus of everyone's gossip wasn't about the Young Master Huang getting married, but about the fact that the person he was marrying was an ordinary merchant's daughter.
At this time.
Bai Chuan Academy.
When Nian Zhenzhen heard the news from her roommate, she ran madly towards the Huang family.
She didn't believe it!
She didn't believe that Young Master Huang would betray her!
Half an hour later.
Panting, Nian Zhenzhen arrived at the main entrance of the Huang family.
She still held onto a sliver of hope.
The Young Master Huang who was getting married was not the Young Master Huang she knew.
Regarding that Young Master Huang, besides knowing that his surname was Huang, she also knew that his name contained the character "Xuan".
Nian Zhenzhen took out a silk handkerchief embroidered with the character "Xuan" from her懷.
She had found it before in Shanshui Town and had never been willing to return it to him.
