Chapter 413 Ruoruo takes the initiative to say that she wants to get married

Although she grew up in the Marquis' Mansion, she was definitely not the second daughter of the mansion.

Now my brother wants to marry Sister Nian Nian.

She was really fed up with the rumors outside.

It was said that the brother and sister had evil intentions and impure motives, and were clinging to the Marquis' Mansion like blood-sucking worms and unwilling to leave.

An unknown wild woman from outside occupied the position of the second lady in the marquis's mansion, and deliberately led her brother into the mansion and had an affair with the marquis's daughter.

Those words were just too harsh to hear.

Ruoruo even thought that she might as well leave the Marquis' Mansion, so that her brother and sister Nian Nian's reputation would be better.

She didn't want to attract so much attention. Her mother said that she was old enough and it was time for her to find a good marriage partner and get married in a few years.

The mother asked her if she was willing, and if so, she would find it for her.

At first she was reluctant, as she wanted to spend more time with her mother and sister, but now she thinks it would be better for her to get married as soon as possible.

Let's arrange the marriage first. She will find a reason to live in the farm for some time and then get married when the day comes.

Thinking of this, Ruoruo felt much better.

The maid went to get some ice and applied it to her eyes, which made them feel much better after a while. However, she was worried that her eyes were still swollen, so she didn't dare to go to her mother.

So she started embroidering in the house.

***

Yun Qiao looked at Nian Nian and talked to her for a while.

The guards had already told Chen Jingyan what Nian Nian said, and as Chen Jingyan's bedmate, she also knew about it.

It’s just that now I hear it again through Nian Nian’s mouth.

"Mother, why didn't you react at all? Even if you knew in advance that Han Shiyi was leaving, weren't you even a little surprised?"

Nian Nian sat on a chair, supporting her chin with one hand, and tilted her head to look at her mother who was holding a book in one hand and gesturing with the other.

Yun Qiao recently got a book. It is said in the martial arts world that this book is a secret manual of martial arts for practicing true qi. She is quite interested in it and wants to practice it herself.

What if it succeeds?

Nowadays, there is time travel, mind reading, and even space travel.

If this method of practicing Qigong really existed, and she could master it, she could realize her childhood fantasy and become a hero in the martial arts world.

"Mother... those books are just for fun, you really believe them. Even if someone can master it, they would have started practicing since childhood, unlike you who is still practicing martial arts at such an old age."

Yun Qiao frowned.

"How old is your mother? I'm only in my thirties, not even seventy or eighty."

Nian Nian then started laughing.

"You are right. Everything you say is right."

"What do you think about Han Shiyi?"

Yun Qiao put down the book and looked at Nian Nian.

"Mother is sitting back and watching. However, Han Shiyi, like your father said, is not without ambition, but his ambition is hidden very deeply. We are not clear about the current situation, so for us, we can only wait. If Nian Nian doesn't want to wait, that's fine. Mother will find you another husband, and I guarantee that she will find someone better than Han Shiyi."

"Mother, please stop joking. The marriage has been arranged." Nian Nian said softly, and then added, "My daughter is quite satisfied with Brother Han."

Seeing Nian Nian's little daughter's attitude, Yun Qiao also felt happy.

She just wanted Nian Nian to enjoy the feeling of being in love. Even if she might regret marrying Han Shiyi in the future, the love felt in youth can really amaze a person for the rest of his life.

"Then wait a little longer. I'll give you an explanation when Han Shiyi comes back."

"Besides, you're still young, so it's good not to get married so early."

Yun Qiao seemed to be saying this as a joke to Nian Nian, but in fact, she and Chen Jingyan had prepared a lot of things for Nian Nian. Whether it was a dowry or things they would use after their marriage, Yun Qiao had thought of everything and prepared them.

Like the house they will live in after they get married.

I know that Han Shiyi has bought a yard outside. The yard is not very big. If he lets Nian Nian live in it, it will definitely be unfair to his daughter.

Chen Jingyan bought a courtyard for Nian Nian early on. It was a large mansion with three entrances and three exits. The maids and servants in the mansion were bought and sent in three years ago.

After they get married, if they want to live in the Marquis' Mansion, they can stay here. If not, they can move out.

Young people should have their own lifestyle.

She and Chen Jingyan also planned to go out and live their lives.

The two of them had decided to wait until Nian Nian's marriage was settled. As for the remaining three sons, the couple was not in a hurry to have grandchildren, so they could get married later.

It's just the right amount of time for the couple to enjoy their own world.

Seeing that her mother and father seemed to have already had a plan and did not blame Han Shiyi, Nian Nian felt relieved.

I just chatted with my mother about other things.

"A few days ago, your aunt said that Ruoruo is getting old and wants to find a marriage for her. There's a nephew on your aunt's side of the family who's quite good. We know each other well, so she wanted me to ask Ruoruo why she hasn't come to me yet."

I was making lei cha for her to drink just now, but now I can't find him.

Nian Nian said, "It seems she had a small quarrel with Si Lang. Si Lang left in anger, and Ruoruo chased after him."

Speaking of this, Yun Qiao looked at Nian Nian and said seriously:

"Niannian, why does it feel like I can't see through Silang's thoughts?"

Nian Nian: "What does mother want to see? I can't guess what Si Lang is thinking. It's so strange. It feels like he is not from the same world as us."

No way, no way.

Could it be that Shiro is a time traveler?

That's strange. As a senior time traveler, Yun Qiao could read the thoughts of Su Mo, a later time traveler, but now he can't read what his own son is thinking.

Nian Nian suddenly said, "Mother, is it possible that our time has passed and now is Si Lang's time?"

this……

This was indeed something Yun Qiao had not expected.

Is it really time for a new era? So her mind-reading skills as the first-generation time traveler can no longer read the thoughts of the protagonist of the next era.

"Mother, don't be sad. Silang is the most obedient. If you can't guess, just ask directly."

Yun Qiao: "I'm not sad, I just think it's magical."

"Niannian, after I find a good marriage for your sister Ruoruo, your father and I will be away for a while. You can take care of the Marquis' Mansion. Is that okay?"

"Of course there's no problem. Just go and have fun without worry, mother."

***

What Nian Nian has always been worried about is that Han Shiyi will leave and her parents will be furious. Now that her parents have already expected it, they just advise her to wait. Nian Nian has nothing to worry about anymore.

Listening to my mother talking about my sister Ruoruo’s marriage.

Nian Nian thought that Ruoruo was her sister, her fiancé's biological sister, and her sister-in-law.

No matter what her identity is, she will still show concern and ask.

Before dinner, Nian Nian went to find Ruoruo.

She is embroidering.

Seeing that her eyes were very red, I asked her and she said it was because of the redness from embroidery.

"Sister, I'm really tired of embroidery, don't worry."

"I saw you and Shiro go out together earlier. Did he make you angry? He's just like that. Just leave him alone."

Nian Nian thought that Silang had offended Ruoruo, and Ruoruo felt uncomfortable.

Then he said something to comfort her.

Ruoruo smiled and said, "Sister, I'm not angry with Brother Silang, and we're not angry either. I know Brother Silang is just a little cold-tempered, but he's a good person."

"That's good."

"Your eyes are red from exhaustion. Stop embroidering for now. I want to tell you something..."

Ruoruo was really obedient. After Nian Nian finished speaking, she put down the needle and thread in her hands and listened to Nian Nian carefully.

"Mother said that Auntie has found a good marriage for you, but before I mentioned it, you said you were still young and didn't want to get married so early. Let me ask, do you have a boy you like?"

Ruoruo immediately said, "Sister, I didn't. I went out with sister Qiqi or sister Suisui, and I didn't meet any strange men."

Sister Qiqi was engaged to Dalang Zhao, and she had only met Dalang Zhao, Erlang Zhao, and Sister Suisui's brother, the younger brother of the Lu family, with Sister Qiqi.

They are all close people and they meet often. Ruoruo is caring towards them, so naturally there is no other emotion involved.

But apart from them, Ruoruo has never come into contact with anyone else.

"Look how nervous you are. I didn't say no, but I did. You're willing to take a look at what your aunt introduced to you."

Their mansion is not as strict as other marquisate mansions. Women are confined to their boudoirs and are not allowed to see other men until their wedding day, not even their own husbands.

My mother said that if they wanted, they could go and see if the man was worthy of being chosen as their future husband before the marriage.

Nian Nian meant that if Ruoruo was planning to get married, she could invite the son of her aunt's family to the Marquis' Mansion to let Ruoruo take a look.

Ruoruo naturally knew what her sister meant.

He nodded and said, "I used to think I was still young and didn't need to get married so early. Now that my sister and mother have said so, I think we can get married. Girls will always get married."

For some reason, Nian Nian felt sad and distressed when she heard Ruoruo say this.

"Ruoruo, if you don't want to get married, you can tell me. I'll go and ask mother, but of course I won't let you down."

"No, I want to get married."

She was originally an outsider of the Marquis' Mansion, and when she grew up, it was time for her to leave the Mansion.

She loved her sister and brothers very much, as well as her doting stepmother and loving stepfather, but the Marquis' Mansion was ultimately just a place where she grew up, and she would have to leave and go somewhere else in the future.

Now might be the best time to leave.

"Sister Nian Nian, I'm thinking of going to the small farm my mother gave me to rest for a while after I get married."

Nian Nian laughed. "Why do you want to rest too? Mother said that after your marriage is settled, she and Father will live a carefree life. Now you want to stay at the farm for a few days."

"Ruoruo hasn't been there yet. My sister has lived there, and my mother and father have been there too. Ruoruo wants to be there too."

Ruoruo knew that as long as she acted coquettishly, her sister would definitely agree to her.

"Okay, I promise you."

***

After Ruoruo agreed, Yun Qiao sent someone to tell Li Yuan.

The child is Li Yuan's nephew from her mother's side. His surname is Li and his name is Rui. He is also handsome. He just passed the imperial examination last year and is a relatively humble person.

Li Yuan's family used to be in business. His brothers didn't have much prospects, but one of his nephews was a good student. Li Yuan wanted to help him, and Li Yuan's sister-in-law also suggested that Li Yuan find a good wife for his son Li Rui.

With Li Rui's status, marrying Ruoruo would be considered marrying above his station.

Li Yuan knew that Yun Qiao and Chen Jingyan treated Ruoruo very well. Even if Ruoruo got married in the future and wanted to help her husband, Yun Qiao and Chen Jingyan would definitely agree.

Besides, Ruoruo grew up under her care, and Li Yuan liked her very much.

Given her and Yun Qiao's status, it's impossible for a cousin to marry a cousin. Although they are not related by blood, it would not sound good to tell others about it.

I was thinking of giving it to my nephew.

Li Yuan mentioned this matter to Yun Qiao a long time ago. She was also worried that Yun Qiao would look down on her nephew.

Before, I just asked Ruoruo when she would get married.

Yun Qiao was not stupid and knew what she was thinking. The two of them started talking. Li Yuan spoke frankly. Yun Qiao said, let's see, if it's suitable, that's best. If it's not suitable, we can't force the child.

Only then did he think of asking Ruoruo first. If she saw it, he would call Li Rui to his house.

Let Ruoruo take a look at Li Rui. Even if she looks down on him, he is still a distant cousin.

Ruoruo agreed to meet him.

Li Yuan was naturally delighted to hear the news, and he quickly sent someone to Jiangcheng to ask his nephew to come to Kyoto to stay for some time.

Qiqi just came out from the backyard and saw that her mother looked like she was about to go out.

"Mother, where are you going so happily?"

"I'm going to the Marquis' Mansion."

Qiqi chased after her, "Mom, what are you going to the Marquis' Mansion for? Take me with you. I haven't seen my aunt, my third uncle, and my brothers and sisters for a long time."

"You're getting married soon and moving into the Zhao family. Why are you running out here instead of staying in the inner courtyard to embroider your wedding dress?"

"Mom, my sisters haven't married yet. I don't understand why you and my dad are so anxious to marry me off."

Qiqi was unhappy. She was a lively and cheerful person and had been locked up at home for three days.

Qiqi felt that these three days were her limit. If she was locked up any longer, she would really go crazy.

"Your marriage has been arranged since you were young. Besides, you are fourteen now, which is the age for marriage. If you marry into the Zhao family, you will be with Brother Yi for two years, which means you will be sixteen. When your aunt and I were sixteen, we gave birth to your brothers one after another."

Qiqi pouted unhappily when she heard what her mother said.

But he still followed Li Yuan's carriage to the Marquis' Mansion.

Only then did Qiqi realize that Ruoruo was also going to get married.

And she wants to marry her cousin.

Her third cousin has a good personality, he is gentle and polite, a modest gentleman. If her sister Ruoruo marries a man who is better than her third cousin, it might not be a bad idea.

Qiqi wanted to go and watch the fun.

In the past, Ruoruo always teased her, saying that she was a little bride.

Now that Ruoruo is marrying her third cousin, she will call Ruoruo "cousin-in-law" from now on.

Li Yuan was anxious to see Yun Qiao talking, so he didn't pay much attention to Qiqi. But when Qiqi arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, she insisted on going to look for Sister Nian Nian and her future cousin-in-law.

I happened to meet my fourth brother who had a weird personality.

"Hello, Fourth Brother."

"Yeah." Chen Sinian hummed, looked at Qiqi, and asked, "Why did you come to the Marquis' Mansion?"
