There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 302

[Chapter 302, Zhaodebo Mansion]

“Dinner is about to open, so don’t go back to the yard, and go to the old lady’s yard with your mother later.”

Mrs. Li was sorting out the gifts sent by Li’s family and Xiao Yeyang Looking at the objects, I selected some according to the old lady’s preferences, and prepared to send them over later when I was eating.

Daohua nodded, picked up the jujube cake on the table and ate it leisurely, thinking of the elder brother’s marriage mentioned in the grandmother’s house before, she couldn’t help asking: “Mother, which one did you choose for your elder brother?” Do you know me?”

Mrs. Li paused her hand for picking the object, shook her head and sighed, “It’s not my match.”

Daohua’s eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, “Could it be that the elder brother picked it up himself? Mrs.

Li glared at her daughter: “What nonsense are you talking about! Marriage has always been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. How can you have your own face?”

Daohua curled her lips and muttered: “What’s wrong with my own face? Maybe it’s more messy than yours.” It would be better to order mandarin ducks!”

“What are you talking about?”

Mrs. Li turned her head and looked over.

Daohua quickly shook her head, pretending to be blank and said: “I didn’t say anything!” Seeing Mrs. Li’s sullen face, she quickly changed the subject, “It’s not your mother, but your father?

” Then, he frowned.

“Mother, father’s vision of seeing people is really not very good. You have to take good care of your elder brother. This is a matter of your life.”

Mrs. Li squinted at her daughter: “You don’t need to say that, but Ah, it’s not certain whether this marriage will be counted or not now!”

Daohua walked over and shook Mrs. Li’s arm: “Mother, tell me which family the girl is from first? Maybe I can help too.”

Mrs. Li smiled and shook her head: “You can’t help, that girl is from the capital.”

Daohua looked surprised, and after a while, she shook her head and sighed: “As expected, I was right. Brother went to the capital and brought you a daughter-in-law back.”

“Which family is it? There is a chance .” I asked Yuan Yao and Jing Wan to find out, they know much more about the capital than our family.”

Mrs. Li thought it was right, so she didn’t hide it from her daughter: “It’s the second girl from the Zhaode Earl’s family.”

Dao Hua said Xia was shocked: “The girl from the Earl’s Mansion? How could such a family take a fancy to our family?”

It wasn’t that she looked down on her own family, it was because ancient marriages paid attention to matching each other.

Although the cheap father is now a fourth-rank magistrate, there is not even a slight difference between him and those families with titles in the capital.

“Could it be that the girl from the Earl’s Mansion has a hidden disease?” In

this era, the daughters of big families are almost all married, and the marriage is naturally profitable, so most of the girls are high-married in order to exchange benefits for the family. .

There are also low-marriages, but definitely not many.

Mrs. Li looked at her daughter angrily, and nodded her head: “What the hell are you thinking about all day long?”

Dao Hua rubbed her forehead and said in a low voice, “Daughter, is this a normal analysis? Will the pie fall for no reason? I naturally have to think more about it.”

Mrs. Li sighed: “Then the second girl of the Han family has no hidden illness. During the job report, he was praised by the emperor; secondly, your eldest brother looks good, has a good bearing, and is very knowledgeable, so he was naturally chosen.”

“Three, the master told your father in private on Tuesday, the residence of the Earl of Zhaode His title has reached the last term, and although there are some people who are officials in the imperial court, most of them are not high-ranking officials and do not hold real power, so naturally, this marriage partner has to be suppressed.”

Dao Hua frowned . , Puzzled: “Since this is the case, why do we still marry their family?”

Mrs. Li: “A dead camel is bigger than a horse. The Earl of Zhaode’s Mansion has been operating in the capital for several generations, so there must be some connections. Your father is in his prime, and he is likely to become an official in Beijing in the future. If there is no one to support me, how can I stand on my feet?”

Daohua nodded: “Then the second girl of the Han family, do you like it?”

Mrs. Li fell silent, and after a while, she said: “Your father said, he is far away. I glanced at the second girl of the Han family from a distance, she is beautiful and dignified.”

Daohua: “I’m not asking my father, I’m asking my elder brother, do you like it?”

Mrs. Li shook her head: “Mother also asked you Big brother, but he lowered his head and didn’t say anything, but he didn’t object, probably because he was ashamed.”

Daohua thought for a while: “Mother, when you say goodbye to big brother, don’t just consider the interests of the family. I have to ask my elder brother about it, after all, my sister-in-law will live with my elder brother for the rest of my life.”

Mrs. Li smiled immediately: “You are just busy with nothing, how can mother not know this? Besides, the Han family only mentioned After all, although the Earl’s Mansion will be taken back in this generation, it is still a Duke’s house, and there are still requirements and conditions for choosing a son-in-law.”

“Uncle Zhao said, if your eldest brother wins the election this year, He is the one who is willing to marry our precious daughter into our family.”

Daohua showed surprise: “Brother is going back to his hometown for a scientific examination this year?”

Mrs. Li nodded: “Your elder brother has studied in Wangyue Academy for three years. Your knowledge is much more solid than before, and both your father and Mr. Xiao said that you can take the exam.”

“Your mother and your father also want to see this point after winning the exam.” Daohua was

speechless: “Then If the eldest brother fails the Juren examination, then we are not married yet?”

“Bang!”

Mrs. Li stared at Daohua’s forehead: “Did you say that about your brother?” As she spoke, she said in an affirmative tone, ” Your eldest brother will definitely pass the exam.”

Daohua nodded quickly: “Yes, yes, what mother said is that the eldest brother will definitely be able to go to high school, but what the daughter means is that it is you and father, don’t put too much pressure on the eldest brother.”

Mrs. Li smiled and said: “Don’t worry . , mother has a sense of proportion, your father, since he was promoted to the prefect of Ningmen Prefecture, has been so busy that he has no time to study and talk about your elder brother.”

Daohua nodded and asked casually: ” Father is busy?”

Mrs. Li glanced out the window, and it was already a little dark: “Didn’t you see that you haven’t come back at this time?” As she spoke, she sighed, “Tonight, your father may not be able to Have dinner with us.”

Saying that, she turned to look at Ping Tong.

“Tell the kitchen to make two more dishes that the master likes to eat, and then simmer them on the stove. It will be delicious when the master is in the office.”

Ping Tong nodded and said, “Yes.” After speaking, he walked out of the main courtyard with a smile .

Daohua asked: “Did father take over smoothly?”

Mrs. Li shook her head: “That’s not true. The main reason is that the situation in Ningmen Mansion is too complicated. There are refugees from Fenxi and Jiguang in many places.”

” Your father said that if you want to carry out major livelihood issues such as persuasion, farming and mulberry, you must first eliminate these unstable security factors, otherwise, the common people will not be able to give birth with peace of mind. Now, your father is trying to find a way to resettle those refugees ”

Happy New Year’s Day everyone!
