Chapter 264: Seeing Others
Qi knew about the appointment with Shan Ruoyan. Shan Li did not tell her, but he went straight to Shan Su and gave him a summary of what happened at the coming-of-age banquet.
Shan Su was no fool, he understood the seriousness of the matter as soon as he heard it.
I agreed with Shan Li's idea in my heart.
Now that the children have grown up, it is natural to put their marriage on the agenda.
Ruoyan has an unstable personality. If she doesn't get married early, she might really bring disaster to her family.
Shan Su came to say hello to Qi.
Shan Ruoyan was not Qi's biological daughter, she was just her stepmother. Therefore, Qi had no right to comment on her marriage.
Secretly, she was still very happy in her heart.
She would be happy only if the daughters born to those little bitches didn't marry well.
"The people chosen by my sister-in-law are all good. Just let me make the decision." Qi really didn't want to worry about this at all.
Her thoughts were all for Yuer.
"What I can see is limited. Should I show it to my sister-in-law or let Ruoyan choose for herself?" At the end, Lou's voice became much quieter.
Ruoyan is a proud girl. I'm afraid these people are not worthy of her attention.
However, the son specifically warned Ruoyan that she could not choose a higher-ranking in-law but could only choose a lower-ranking one.
Ruoyan's temper would make it difficult for her to survive in a wealthy family. She could only choose a lower-class family, where they would respect her as a young lady from a general's mansion and tolerate her.
Lou thought her son's words made sense. However, the other party's family background and character couldn't be too bad, otherwise Ruoyan would probably have a hard time in the second half of her life.
Faced with this dilemma, Lou reluctantly selected three companies.
"Sister-in-law, look, this is the second son of the Minister of Works. His name is Zhong Cheng. He is just 20 years old. His family is simple, with only one older brother, one younger brother, and an older sister who is already married."
Lou handed a booklet with Zhong Cheng's details to Qi, "Zhong Cheng is not the eldest son in the family, so his wife does not have to bear the responsibilities of the eldest daughter-in-law. Moreover, he also works in the Ministry of Industry, although he is only a junior official. However, Zhong Cheng is very studious and diligent, so it goes without saying that he will achieve great things in the future."
Lou liked Zhong Cheng the most. It was said that he did not get his official position with the blessing of his family, but through his own participation in the imperial examination.
At such a young age, he has already entered the officialdom. His future is truly limitless.
Qi took the booklet, opened it and took a look. In his heart, he actually thought that this Zhong Cheng was really good.
"Why is he still unmarried at the age of twenty?" "At this age, normally, he would have been a father.
"Oh, that's right," Lou explained hurriedly, "He was engaged before, but later the family he was engaged to found a better place to live, so they took the initiative to cancel the engagement. He also felt that getting married at that time would delay his studies, so it was delayed. "
She had inquired about this matter carefully, and she was afraid that she might miss something and harm the children.
When presenting her to the young ladies of the general's mansion, Lou naturally had to be extremely careful.
Marrying someone is not making an enemy. She still knows how to handle this matter.
From her point of view, she really hopes that all the children in this mansion can have a good home.
Therefore, when it comes to selecting people, the Lou family is extremely cautious.
"What about this one?" Qi's interest was aroused. She put down Zhong Cheng's booklet and picked up another one.
Lou took a look and said, "This is the youngest son of the brave general, Li Qingfeng."
"This Li Qingfeng is also a lieutenant. He serves in the city gate guard. I have inquired about it. His position does not require him to go to the battlefield." Lou married a general herself. Although she never regretted it, she knew clearly how hard it was to marry a man who had to go to the battlefield at any time.
Therefore, she did not want the young ladies in the general's mansion to continue to marry someone who needed to go to the battlefield at any time.
"The Li family is not complicated. General Li has only one wife, who gave birth to four sons and one daughter. The other children have all married, but the youngest son has not yet married."
With Dan Ruoyan's personality, she can only find a simple family with simple people. If she has less fighting thoughts, she can live a good life.
"And this." Lou picked up the last booklet and said, "This is the cousin of the Imperial Censor Ke's family. Tang Mo."
"Although this is a cousin, Mr. Tang has been raised by Master Ke since he was a child, just like his own son. Moreover, I heard that this cousin is very popular in the entire Ke family."
"I thought that if someone is liked by everyone, he would be good to others. If Ruoyan married him, she would have a good life." This is what Lou really thought.
Any one of the three people she chose is very good and can be considered a good match.
However, they all have one thing in common: some of them are neither high nor low in family background.
This has resulted in some difficulties for these families to get married now.
To put it in a more optimistic way, the girl's family may not be willing. Marriage is a marriage between two families. It is best to help and support each other.
If they were to put it mildly, they themselves might not be willing to accept it. As the saying goes, marriage is about marrying two families.
"Sister-in-law, take a look, which one do you like?" Lou explained the situations of these people and gave Qi the right to choose.
Any one of these three should be good.
Before Qi could say anything, Shan Ruoyan suddenly barged in for some reason.
Her face looked somewhat ferocious, and she rushed forward like a madman, pushing all three booklets to the ground.
As if this was not enough to vent her anger, she pointed at Lou and cursed, "What do you people from the first house mean?! Even if I am a concubine's daughter! I am still the third daughter of the General's Mansion! You actually chose people who are not presentable for me! How can you treat me like this! I am also my father's daughter and my grandfather's granddaughter! You are too much!"
Shan Ruoyan originally followed her aunt's advice and came to apologize to her stepmother.
Unexpectedly, she heard that her aunt wanted to find a partner for him.
She didn't know what happened, so she hid and eavesdropped immediately.
But what did she hear? !
This aunt usually looks kind and benevolent. I didn't expect her to be so vicious!
What poor families they found for her!
She is the daughter of the general's mansion! Even if she is not a legitimate daughter, she is not worthy of these unpresentable things!
