Chapter 458 Extra 016: Choice
Yinhua felt embarrassed and shocked when she heard this.
She always feels that none of them are within her reach.
I originally thought that she would marry just an ordinary farmer in the village.
Old Lady Ye looked at her and said, "We have inquired carefully about these families. At least for now, there is no problem with their character."
Yinhua was unsure: "Which one do you think is better..."
Old Lady Ye said, "They are all good. After all, we took a long time to select them. Those with good families have their own advantages, and those with average families have their own advantages. Anyway, you won't have a bad life if you marry them."
Yinhua looked at Erquan again: "What do you think, Dad?"
Ye Erquan was even more confused: "Make your own decision."
Old Lady Ye: "Think carefully about what kind of life you want to live."
Gingka nodded: "I'll...think about it for a few days."
"good."
Looking at Yinhua's leaving back, Old Lady Ye sighed softly. Yinhua was worried, and she didn't dare to make a decision for her.
Among a group of people who were interested in getting married, one person of each type was picked out. There are wealthy businessmen, marquisates, officials and small merchants. If I only pick some small merchants for her, I'm afraid she will feel that they look down on her.
Yinhua felt upset and wanted to go out for a walk.
As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw Wei rushing over and grabbing her: "Yinhua... I heard that your grandma arranged a marriage for you! You must marry a prince from a noble family! You must!"
There have been matchmakers coming to the house recently, and Wei knew that Old Lady Ye was looking for a marriage for Yinhua.
Later, she spent a full two hundred coins and found out from the matchmaker's family the several families that Yinhua wanted to mention.
Wei's blood boiled when he heard this.
Wei's face was gaunt, she held onto Yinhua tightly, like she was holding onto her last straw:
"Yinhua, your father is an ungrateful man, your brother is useless! Your nephew is a fool... Mom can only count on you now."
"The first house was originally the same as ours. You lived in the same room with Jinhua since you were little, and you went to school together. You were originally the same..."
"But now, Ye Xuan has won the first place in the imperial examination, and Lian Jinhua has married a wealthy businessman and a scholar... Why?"
Wei is too desperate now.
Although they had no worries about food and drink, it was like living in an abyss.
"Wow...Yinhua, you must strive to be better! You must strive for your mother's honor! As long as you marry into a marquisate, you will be in a high position! If you can't compare to Jin'er and Huan'er, can you still compare to Jinhua? At least you have to beat Jinhua and strive for her honor!"
Yinhua looked at Wei's crazy appearance and her face turned pale.
At this time, a maid from Ye Daquan's family rushed out and pushed Wei away: "Get out of here, don't hurt my young lady."
Having said that, he protected Yinhua and walked home.
Yinhua turned around and saw Wei sitting on the ground, slapping her legs and crying, shouting that she would rather die than fight for her dignity.
She understands her mother, she understands her too well!
Because I can’t get it, I want to move forward hysterically.
Mother clearly had candles and she could only get candles, but she wanted the moon in the sky.
She crawled desperately, raised her head, stared at the moon in the sky, and jumped for her life.
She climbed to the top, tried desperately to reach it, but fell to pieces.
The cycle continues.
Even though her life has surpassed many people, even though she has the best food and the most luxurious meals every day.
But as long as the moon is in the sky, she will yearn for it, but if she cannot get what she desires, she will feel heartbroken and cry bitterly! Torture! Crazy! collapse! The cycle continues!
She didn't want to become like her.
Back in her room, Yinhua seriously thought about her marriage.
Rich businessmen, officials, nobles, small merchants...
She recalled what she had learned at the Shen family.
She knew why even the sons of officials and marquisates were eager to marry her. It was simply because they were attracted by the power of her aunt and uncle.
Throughout the Great Zhou, everyone wanted to get close to the Emperor's Master and the Marquis Dingguo's Mansion, but unfortunately, they had no way to do so.
And you are that ladder!
It doesn't matter what her personality is like, what her appearance is like, or whether she can be a qualified mistress.
Besides, she is pretty and being timid makes her easier to talk to.
As long as he marries her, he will be the nephew-in-law of the Emperor's teacher, and will be related to the Shen family.
Even if he doesn't get an actual promotion, he can use this identity to enter the Shen family's circle, ensure the stability of his family's official position, or get something else.
Of course, what Nai said was right.
No matter whether others are taking advantage of her or why they are interested in her, as long as she marries him, she will live a good life.
When they were taking classes at Shen's house, the female teacher told them that marriage is actually an exchange of interests.
Ladders also have their own value.
As long as my aunt and uncle don't fall, I can live a stable life.
Then all the resentment over the years can finally spread its wings and fly high.
But she remembered what Huan'er and grandma had said to her last time. I also recalled a banquet that took place many years ago, I don’t know which one it was.
At that time, Sister Man, Jinhua Xiaoyan, Jin'er Huan'er, all gathered in the room to talk, and I was sitting aside, unable to get a word in. I could only sit there stiffly and smile awkwardly.
She is in that circle, yet seems to be absent.
If she had chosen a family of officials, marquis or wealthy merchants, she would probably have lived the same kind of life.
Living a high-hand life, yet being too humble to fit in.
Although he occupied that position and his family treated him politely, he could not stand out because of his cautious character.
The chicken is roosting in the phoenix's nest, but in the end, I still can't fit in and can't gain respect.
She wanted to fly high, but she had no wings.
Want to achieve something, but don't have the ability.
Then suppress your delusions, make peace with yourself, and accept your mediocrity.
This is also a kind of self-victory and courage.
......
The next day, Yinhua found Old Mrs. Ye and Ye Erquan.
Yinhua took a deep breath and said, "Grandpa, grandma, dad, I have thought it over. I will choose the young master of the grain and oil shop."
The three of them were stunned, then smiled with relief.
Old Lady Ye smiled and said, "Then I will arrange a meeting later. If you like her, I will examine her character in detail and decide on her after there are no problems."
"Okay." Yinhua responded shyly.
Ye Erquan smiled and said, "It's always good to be down-to-earth. Wear a hat that fits the size of your head, otherwise your head will get tired, and so will the hat."
Old Man Ye said, "Yinhua, don't underestimate yourself. Your father earns three or four hundred taels a month. He is a wealthy man, not less than the grain and oil shop. You two are a perfect match. And you have a backer. In a sense, he is marrying up to our family. Once you marry into his family, you will be the young lady of the Yu family, no worse than anyone else."
Yinhua straightened her back and said, "Yes."
Everyone was very pleased. When Jinhua was looking for a marriage partner, a lot of people were trying their best to come to her door.
Jinhua chose her current husband from among a group of young men from aristocratic families.
Now Yinhua has also picked a suitable one.
Neither sister was overly ambitious, nor did they disappoint.
......
When Mrs. Ye and her husband returned home, they saw Huan'er training the dog.
Old Lady Ye laughed and scolded, "Huan'er is one month older than Yinhua, and your mother is not in a hurry. I am almost worried to death."
Huan Er said angrily, "When my mother arranged a marriage for me before, I felt so upset that she decided not to arrange it for me. She also said that my feelings are the most important. If I like to get married, then I can get married. If I don't want to get married, then I won't get married. I like designing lighting and doing business. I am very happy now!"
"You are used to it."
"No. Hehe, I'm going back to my room."
After Manman and Jin'er got engaged, Ye Caiping prepared dowries for them.
Her Huo La Tang workshop was divided into three parts and given to her three daughters respectively.
In addition, they were given ten shares each in Shen Zhiyan's glass workshop.
Then there were some silver, farms, land and various exquisite dowries, all for the three daughters.
Ye Huaner has a talent for design. All the lamps and ornaments in the glass workshop in recent years are made by her.
After returning to the village, she has been managing the Hu La Tang workshop and the glass workshop here.
