Chapter 295 Proposing to Xuanxuan
Li Wanqing is living a happy life here, but Zhao Cuifang has new troubles.
The reason is simple. Xuanxuan's excellence has been obvious to all recently, and many people in the county have heard about it. In addition, Xuanxuan is also very handsome and of age, so many people in the county have also become interested in him.
Someone had already found Zhao Cuifang, and she was upset but couldn't say it to anyone. Although Li Wanqing seemed to be getting along well with her now, Zhao Cuifang knew that Li Wanqing wouldn't be so easy to talk to when it came to the child.
But the visitor didn't know what Zhao Cuifang was thinking, and kept muttering:
"Cuifang, you have to take my words to heart. We have been getting along well for so many years, right? I only have one niece like her, and I hope she lives a good life."
The one who spoke was Zhao Cuifang's sister-in-law. Seeing that Zhao Cuifang didn't say anything, Zhao Cuifang's sister-in-law understood what was going on. The sister-in-law was afraid that the introduction would fail and instead become an enemy. Isn't Li Yingdi from Gu Bei's family a living example?
Zhao Cuifang's attitude softened somewhat. Sister Zhao noticed this and struck while the iron was hot:
"Sister-in-law, I won't lie to you. If my niece's conditions are not good, I won't tell you, and I won't make it difficult for you. How about this, I will tell you about my niece's conditions first. If you think it's okay, then go talk to Li Wanqing. If not, we won't say anything more."
Only after Mrs. Zhao said so did Zhao Cuifang reluctantly agree. Li Wanqing was really generous, and she would not want to have a bad relationship with Li Wanqing unless it was absolutely necessary.
However, if Mrs. Zhao's niece is really good, it's not impossible for me to tell her.
After all, if the marriage is successful, given Li Wanqing's personality, she will definitely have to give a thank-you gift, and her sister-in-law will also remember her kindness.
Zhao Cuifang also had her own plans, so she asked Mrs. Zhao to speak.
"My niece is eighteen this year, which is the perfect age for Xuanxuan. Although she's a little older, a woman three years older than her husband is a good match. Besides, it's just an engagement, and we'll get married when Xuanxuan is old enough. She's also a great embroiderer, so she can take care of all the clothes Xuanxuan will wear in the future. Needless to say, she's beautiful, you've seen her before."
Zhao Cuifang agreed with this. Apart from anything else, Zhao Dasao's niece was fair and clean, and very pleasing to the eye.
Seeing Zhao Cuifang nodded, Mrs. Zhao continued:
"As for my family, although we may not be extremely wealthy, we certainly have enough to eat and wear. I won't do anything like using my husband's family to subsidize my own family in the future."
Zhao Cuifang nodded as she listened. If her son wasn't unsuitable, she would have wanted to take the initiative and snatch him away. However, Zhao Cuifang knew in her heart that the other party, with such conditions, would probably not be interested in her son.
However, Zhao Cuifang also had a plan in mind, so she said to Zhao Dasao:
"Sister-in-law, I understand. Weiwei is a good girl. I liked her the moment I saw her. Now she's grown up. Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter."
Mrs. Zhao was also very happy when she heard this, and she said a lot of good things:
"Oh, you are worthy of being my good sister. You are so efficient. I am waiting for your good news."
As she spoke, Mrs. Zhao placed a bag of red dates and sugar on the table in Zhao Cuifang's house.
Seeing how understanding Mrs. Zhao was, Zhao Cuifang smiled even more happily.
However, Zhao Cuifang packed up her things and continued to work. As soon as Mrs. Zhao left, Zhao Cuifang planned to pack up and go to Li Wanqing's house.
Li Wanqing was also surprised to learn that Zhao Cuifang had come, after all, they had just met yesterday.
"Why are you here? Is there something wrong at home?"
Apart from this, Li Wanqing really couldn't think of any other reason.
Zhao Cuifang smiled and looked around to see if there was any sign of Xuanxuan. Li Wanqing was a little puzzled and said:
"This isn't your first time here, and you've seen this room countless times. What are you still looking at?"
After hearing what Li Wanqing said, Zhao Cuifang came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream. She smiled embarrassedly and said:
"Oh, I was lost in thought for a moment. Where's Xuanxuan? Did he go to school?"
Upon hearing this, Li Wanqing began to suspect Zhao Cuifang's intentions. She suspected that someone who showed affection for no reason was either a traitor or a thief. She mentioned Xuanxuan in a subtle way, and considering Xuanxuan's age, she probably wanted to see him.
Li Wanqing had been thinking about this recently. According to the age of the dynasty, someone as old as Xuanxuan would have been engaged. Plus, she knew Zhao Cuifang a little, so she wouldn't introduce someone who was not very knowledgeable to her.
Li Wanqing thought so in her heart, but still had a smile on her face and said:
"Just tell me if you have anything to say. We've had a good relationship over the years. If you have any difficulties, I'll do my best to help you."
Seeing that Li Wanqing was relatively easy to talk to today, Zhao Cuifang's initially fluttering heart calmed down and she said:
"Xuanxuan is already grown up, do you have any plans for his marriage?"
Li Wanqing did not give a direct answer, but instead asked:
"Why, you want to introduce us? I've got to tell you first, don't introduce any bad ones to me."
When Zhao Cuifang saw that Li Wanqing had seen through her purpose, she said directly:
"Third sister-in-law, I won't hide it from you. My eldest sister-in-law's niece is very pretty, efficient at work, and she's not a burden to the family. How about meeting her someday?"
After hearing what Zhao Cuifang said, Li Wanqing remembered it and said:
"Is it the one called Weiwei?"
After getting Zhao Cuifang's affirmative answer, Li Wanqing searched for the image of this girl in her mind. She was quite fair-skinned. She also knew the Zhao family. They were not a family that would make trouble and they loved the girl.
However... Li Wanqing still had some concerns in her heart. An ordinary farming family like the Zhao family, no matter how good they were to the girl, would only let her do less work and would not let her go to school.
But Xuanxuan has been a smart child since he was young. Li Wanqing was afraid that if she married him to a wife who was not well-versed in poetry and literature, they would have no common topics in the future and Xuanxuan would be unhappy.
After all, these children are Li Wanqing's treasures, and she hopes that their future will be perfect.
With this thought in mind, and considering that Li Wanqing was not the type to waste other girls' time, she said directly to Zhao Cuifang:
"This girl is indeed good, but she is much older than our Xuanxuan after all. We won't delay her and let her look for other people first."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Cuifang knew it was a rejection. But fortunately, she didn't hold out much hope to begin with, so she just chatted a little more and then left.
