There is Room For the Poor Daughter

After Mrs. Su led Mrs. Li and Daohua back to the courtyard of the third room, she sat down for a while, and then ordered the maid to prepare the meal.

"This is the soup that Shiyu simmered in the morning, how about you try it?"

Mrs. Su gave Mrs. Li a bowl of soup herself, and Su Shiyu also gave her a bowl on Daohua's side.

Mrs. Li took a sip and couldn't help but praise: "Shi Yu is really a clever girl, this soup tastes great."

The guests liked what her daughter made. Mrs. Su was happy and proud, but she still said modestly: "I can't compare to your family's Yiyi. I still have a lot of fond memories of the pastries I ate at your house last time."

The two mothers complimented each other's children, and the dinner table was in harmony.

After dinner, looking at Su Shiyu, who was calmly assigning affairs to her servants, Mrs. Li said casually, "Shiyu is really a lovely girl, and I don't know which kid will be cheaper in the future?"

Mrs. Su's expression paused, but she quickly smiled: "It's not in a hurry, I'm just Hongxin and Shiyu, and I have to show them a good life. Besides, her brother hasn't gotten married yet, this girl. More to come.”

Mrs. Li nodded in agreement: "Marriage is a major event that affects the life of the child, so we have to choose each other carefully. Before, my family was busy for the marriage of the eldest son for a long time. Now that the marriage of the eldest son is decided, we have to Worrying about your youngest son, you really have no time to spare."

Mrs. Su smiled and didn't express any opinion, she just followed Mrs. Li's words and praised: "I have seen Wenkai's child, he looks like Zhou Zheng's spirit, why can't you find a daughter-in-law who agrees with you? "

Mrs. Li shook her head and sighed: "Where is the one that suits your heart so easy to find, if everyone is like your poems, I don't need to be so bothered."

Hearing this, Mrs. Su's heart moved, but she didn't answer, she just said vaguely: "You are too good."

Seeing that Mrs. Su was not enthusiastic at all, Mrs. Li understood her attitude, but fortunately, she was not disappointed because she was mentally prepared. After a little pondering, she continued with a smile.

"My family's Wenkai is the youngest son, and I also know that on his terms, he may not be able to do anything in front of a slightly better family, but for my son to have a good relationship, I have discussed it with my master, as long as In the future, if the daughter-in-law can give birth to a grandson before the age of 30, Wenkai is not allowed to take a concubine."

Hearing this, Mrs. Su raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Li and said in amazement, "Have you never accepted a concubine for the rest of your life?"

Mrs. Li nodded: "Yes."

Mrs. Su was silent, and had to admit that not accepting a concubine successfully persuaded her and made her a little moved.

When her daughter gets married, what worries her most is that she is married to a non-human person and will be scolded by her husband's family.

When the husband's character is decent, there are two main sources of grievances after a woman gets married, one is the trouble of her mother-in-law, and the other is the blockage of the concubine's room.

These two questions are the level that almost every woman has to go through.

Her daughter is already married. Two years ago, she began to look for a future son-in-law, but unfortunately, she has never found a suitable one.

Either the family background is enough, but the character is not good; or the character is good, but there are a lot of miscellaneous troubles in the family; secondly, the family background and character are OK, but the ability of the person is not good, and there is no future.

I have looked at it before and after, but there are always more or less faults and deficiencies.

Before that, the Yan family was out of her consideration.

She knows the situation of the Yan family, and she also has some understanding of Yan Li's family. She is sensible. Even if such a person is a mother-in-law, even if she can't treat her daughter-in-law as a daughter, she will never do anything to deliberately make things difficult for her daughter-in-law.

Yan Wenkai is good in all aspects. If he really refuses to take concubines all his life, then marrying into the Yan family is really something that can be considered.

It's just that the Yan family's rank is still lower, and Yan Wenkai is still the youngest son.

Seeing that Mrs. Su was contemplating, Mrs. Li didn't say anything more, she picked up the tea and sipped it slowly.

At the same time, Daohua in the garden became more straightforward: "Sister Su, what do you think of my fourth brother?"

Su Shiyu was taken aback by the question, and after a while, she said shyly, "Brother Yan is very good."

Seeing her like this, Daohua had a bottom line in her heart and said with a smile, "My eldest brother is already engaged, and my mother seems to be looking for a daughter-in-law for my fourth brother."

Su Shiyu's heart tightened, and she smiled a little far-fetched. She twisted her handkerchief and said, "Really? Did your aunt have a crush?"

Daohua shook her head, looked at Su Shiyu and said, "My mother doesn't have it yet, but my brother has someone he likes."

Hearing this, Su Shiyu's heart jumped into his throat, staring at Daohua with wide eyes.

Daohua took Su Shiyu's hand: "Sister Su, what do you think of my fourth brother?"

Su Shiyu blushed and turned away from Daohua: "I don't understand what you mean."

Daohua was silent: "Do you like my fourth brother, do you want to marry him?"

Su Shiyu was blushed by Daohua's straightforwardness, bit her lip and didn't speak.

Daohua: "Sister Su, with our relationship, you don't need to be ashamed at all. If you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you don't like it."

Su Shiyu looked at Daohua, but still didn't speak.

Daohua didn't ask her to express her stance, but just said to her: "Sister Su, after I went back on the Lantern Festival, my fourth brother asked my mother to come to your house to propose marriage. We came here today to see what you said. Brother is okay, you can rely on it, and when Madam Su asks for your opinion, you can show your attitude."

Su Shiyu was stunned: "Did Brother Yan ask my aunt to propose marriage?"

Rice Flower nodded.

When Su Shiyu saw it, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

In the middle of the afternoon, Mrs. Li left Su Mansion with Daohua.

On the way back to Li Mansion, Daohua sat in the carriage and looked at the scenery on the street, and accidentally saw Sun Changze coming out of the shop, and immediately asked someone to stop the car.

Mrs. Li: "What's the matter?"

Dao Lace wore a hat and said, "Mother, I saw a friend and went down to say hello. His family is doing business from south to north, and I want him to bring me something."

Mrs. Li also stopped: "Go and come back quickly."

Daohua got off the carriage quickly, and seeing that Sun Changze and others had walked some distance, she trotted to chase after him.

"Sun Changze."

Sun Changze, who was talking to his clan brother, heard someone calling him, so he turned around and saw that it was a girl with a hood, slightly surprised, but when he saw Wang Man'er, he immediately knew who was calling. he is.

"Miss Yan."

Daohua walked in and asked with a smile, "Is your injury healed?"

Sun Changze smiled and said: "It's not a big problem, just keep it for two days. Miss Yan, do you have something to call me?"

Daohua nodded: "I heard Xiao Yeyang say that your family is going to sell goods in the north in the near future?"

Sun Changze nodded: "Not bad."

Daohua: "I've seen some northern geographies, and it's all mentioned above, saying that there are many foreigners in the north?"

Sun Changze: "Yes, there is a city on the western border in the north dedicated to foreign trade goods, and there are often many foreigners there."

Daohua immediately asked: "Then are you going this time?"

Sun Changze pondered for a while: "It depends on the time. If you have time, you may go there to see. There are still many good things in the hands of foreigners. If you are lucky, you can bring them back and sell them to make a lot of money."

Daohua: "Can I hire you?"

Sun Changze looked at Daohua: "Miss Yan, do you have anything to buy? Just tell me directly, and I'll just run for you."

Daohua: "I don't have anything fixed to buy. I just like to collect foreigners' vegetables, fruits, seeds and other things. I want to buy them back to see if I can grow them myself."

Sun Changze: "So that's the way it is, okay, I'll go there this time, but I can't guarantee to buy what you want. After all, the northern border has been unstable in recent years, and many foreigners are reluctant to come."

Daohua smiled and said, "Thank you so much." After speaking, she took out a few silver notes from her purse and handed them to Sun Changze.

Sun Changze shook his head again and again: "No no no, I can't accept your bank note."

Daohua put it directly into his hand: "I'm already very grateful if you can help me take a look. I should pay for the toll."

Sun Changze couldn't return the silver note, so he could only say, "Then I'll bring it to buy something for you."

Daohua shook his head: "You don't need to buy too many, as long as you bring me back some of each."

Sun Changze nodded: "Okay, listen to you."

After talking to Sun Changze, Daohua returned to the carriage.

After half an hour, Mrs. Li and Daohua returned to the Li residence.

The two sat in the main courtyard for a while before returning to the guest courtyard.
