Chen Jingxi agreed, "A-Man is very far-sighted."
Jiang Xiwan rolled her eyes and said, "You were born a woman, so you still have to get married and have children in the end."
"Who said that? I can also find a son-in-law. There are so many men in my grandfather's camp. I will choose one from a poor family with both parents orphaned. Isn't that better than getting married? Home is still my home, and there is no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship to deal with. I am the youngest in the family, and I have an older brother who dotes on me and my parents who love me. It's so wonderful."
Zhou Peiman's words were later heard by someone, and before she could take any action, she was engaged.
This is all later.
Shangguan Ying thought about it carefully, then nodded in agreement, "That makes sense. It's a pity that I'm already engaged, otherwise I would also look for a son-in-law."
Jiang Xiwan laughed, "Are you guys thinking too much? As women from aristocratic families, we all want to marry into other families and gain benefits. It's not like you don't have brothers to support the family, and you're still looking for a son-in-law. Aren't you afraid of making people laugh?"
Zhou Peiman snorted coldly: "I'm happy to do this, what's it to you?"
"Tsk, who cares about you!"
"Sister Axi, do you think I'm wrong?"
"You're right, but..." Chen Jingxi thought of the three generations returning to their ancestral home in modern society and reminded him, "Aman, although the men you mentioned are willing to marry into the Zhou family, they may not all be kind. If you encounter an ambitious or cunning one who wants to plot against the Zhou family, you have to be on guard."
Zhou Peiman frowned slightly.
Jiang Xiwan teased, "I told you it's not possible. You're still foolishly trying to recruit a son-in-law. Be careful or you'll get yourself into trouble."
Chen Jingxi laughed and said, "Some people marry people who are either human or beastly. There are good and bad people anyway."
The more Zhou Peiman thought about it, the more troubled she felt. After a moment, she lost her temper and said, "Forget it. I'm still young anyway. There's no rush. I'll talk about it later."
At this moment, the waiter came in with the dishes.
The four of them each had their own thoughts and remained silent.
I happened to hear what a few men in the next room were saying.
"Brother Li, two hundred taels of silver is not much for a betrothal gift. You've made a killing by marrying her. Let me do the math for you. If you marry her, you'll have someone to do the laundry and cooking. You'll have to buy a young and beautiful maid for over ten taels of silver, and you'll have to pay her wages every month."
"But it's different when you marry a wife. She has a dowry and can also give you some household allowance every month. If your parents are sick or have any disaster, she can take care of them completely."
"The most important thing is that she can still give birth to your children." The man laughed.
Hearing this, Shangguan Ying, who was about to get married, looked even uglier. Was this marrying a wife? This was clearly marrying an old maid to serve their family and even charge her for her dowry.
Although these things did not happen to her, she still felt worried about the woman and hoped that she could see clearly what kind of person she was going to marry.
——
After dinner, the four of them went back home.
As the carriage started moving, Han Yu was keenly aware of something unusual, "The princess is being followed."
"But are they the same group as last time?"
Han Yu nodded. The last time he was followed, he met Jiang Xiwan. This was definitely not a coincidence.
Just when he was about to doze off, someone offered him a pillow. Chen Jingxi was just worrying about how to deal with the Queen, so this was his chance. "Send a note to Miss Shangguan and the others, saying I'm going to Taihua Temple to burn incense tomorrow, and ask if they want to join me."
"Will Miss Jiang also be sent?"
Chen Jingxi nodded.
