Chapter 434: Proposing Marriage
Although Lu Qiniang rejected various invitations, Daya would also receive one.
She will screen and participate selectively.
So their family did not cut off contact with other families.
Daya knew how to advance and retreat, which won her praise from many people.
Although some people dug up her relationship with the Cui family and knew that she had a biological mother who eloped with someone, no one had any deep hatred for her, and within social etiquette, people would deliberately avoid this topic.
Moreover, her biological mother was also a person who was liked and admired by people, so most of her old friends were more moved when they met Daya.
Erya followed Daya and never missed any opportunity to go out.
——She wants to make money.
Were those ladies the ones she was close to?
What she is close to is money!
Making money is not shameful.
So what if people laugh at me for being greedy for money?
When she has no money to spend, these people won't give her a penny.
Lu Qiniang thought this was a good idea.
She has little experience, but hopes that her daughters can gain more knowledge and not be shy in any occasion.
So she asked Daya, Erya and Sanya to take them with them.
San Ya was not interested in such occasions at all, and was even annoyed.
"Mom, I really don't want to go."
She is not good at any of the arts.
We didn't know each other, and we just sat together and complimented each other, which was extremely boring.
"You might as well learn to be more reserved." Lu Qiniang glared at her. "You can still be a tomboy for the rest of your life!"
"Then I'll be a real boy when I grow up." San Ya said while eating a peach, "Mom, this peach is so sweet."
This peach is a tribute, how can it not be delicious!
After the emperor learned from Teng Wenfu that she was pregnant, he would send her some fresh food from time to time.
Lu Qi Niang: "The peaches are sweet, but your mother's heart is bitter."
"Why are you feeling bitter? Did you eat coptis root?" San Ya smiled and munched on a peach.
She prefers hard food to soft food, so she likes to eat this kind of crispy peach.
Lu Qiniang was so angry that she wanted to hit her.
"Don't stretch it," San Ya didn't hide, but came over to support her. "I'm just teasing you! Mother, I know what you mean is that you will have to get married in the future and learn to be humble. But mother, I think there is more to a woman than just getting married."
If you don’t get married, you won’t die.
"I don't want to have to worry about other people's faces. I just want to live my life to the fullest." San Ya said, "I don't want to accommodate others, nor do I need others to tolerate me. When I grow up, I'll just live on my own!"
She eats whatever she wants, and sleeps until she wakes up naturally if she doesn't want to get up.
She didn't have many material desires, as long as she had something to eat, she would enjoy even simple meals.
As long as she doesn't get married and isn't burdened by a man and children, her dowry will last her a lifetime.
What she cares about is freedom.
She likes the days of being free and worry-free.
"What will you do when you're old?" Lu Qiniang asked, "Other people have children, but you don't. Won't you feel bad?"
"I'm not uncomfortable." San Ya said, "I have to thank you for that. You let me have an older sister and two younger sisters, and they will give birth to nephews for me in the future."
Although nephews are not as good as biological children, it is definitely better to have them than not.
"When my nephews were young, I took them to play; when I am old, they will not neglect me."
If it weren't for the episode with my father, wouldn't my mother's life have been just like what she said?
How nice.
But Dad is okay. He has cut off ties with his previous family, so there are not so many problems.
In fact, my eldest sister is not that free.
She also has to take all aspects into consideration and consider the Jiang family.
Although my eldest sister's wife is a good person, I have to take care of his whole family just because he is a good person. I still feel annoyed when I think about it.
If San Ya had a choice, she would rather not have a good man than have to worry about so many things.
Lu Qinniang silently comforted herself, children speak without restraint, children speak without restraint, and she will not say such things when she grows up.
It’s better not to go out now to avoid getting into trouble.
Perhaps because Erya's business has grown bigger now, and because she has been out and about with her sister, she has seen the world and has become much more tactful and considerate in her interactions with others, making her much more likable.
——Money really does support people.
But because of this, many people asked others to inquire about her marriage.
Lu Qiniang asked Erya seriously.
Erya said, "Mom, just reject them all. I won't marry any of them."
In the past, I was poor and had little knowledge, but I always wanted to marry a good man to change my fate.
Now that I have grown up and seen the fickleness of human nature, I understand that no one can have it as well as I do.
Just marrying a good man doesn't mean you can become a phoenix from then on.
Men also have a scale in their hearts and care a lot about gains and losses.
"I'll do the same as my eldest sister, and seek a son-in-law. I can't be as thorough as my eldest sister, so I won't seek a family of officials. I'll look at Chang Hui first. If it works out, that's great; if not, I'll look for another one slowly. There's no need to rush."
After saying this, she blinked her eyes.
"I think Chang Hui, it's almost done."
"Why?" Lu Qiniang became interested immediately after hearing this. "What did he say to you?"
"Nothing. But he's not being so polite to me now. And Manager Chang likes me too. I think if we keep dragging this out, it will work out. He won't be able to get away."
Marriage is not something that can be taken advantage of.
She would rather marry a lower-class man in exchange for a more comfortable position in the marriage.
In short, when she looked at Chang Hui, she felt that he was a good fit.
When it was Changhui's birthday in July, Erya simply plucked up the courage to tell him the truth.
"Chang Hui, what do you think of me?"
Chang Hui blushed and whispered, "The second young lady is naturally excellent."
"I think I'm pretty good too." Erya didn't say anything too empty. "My father is a second-rank official in the current dynasty. I'm rich myself. Besides, you've met all my family members. None of them looks down on others."
Chang Hui nodded.
"I want to find a son-in-law. Would you consider it?" Erya said, "My family won't discriminate. My eldest sister's child will take her husband's surname. If we get married in the future, the child can also take your surname. I won't argue with that."
Only by giving up some interests that you don’t care about can you gain more things that you care about.
Chang Hui didn't know what to say.
But he knew what he was doing.
Erya is telling the truth.
There is nothing to complain about, whether it is her family or herself.
Manager Chang mentioned this matter to him last month.
He said to Chang Hui, "Although Daddy is biased towards you, after all, there is the clan leader above you, and Daddy can't do whatever he wants. Daddy can give you some property to settle down and find you a wife, but that's all he can do."
"If you can marry the second young lady, that would be a change of fortune."
After all, the status of businessmen is still too low.
There is almost a barrier between them and the officials' families.
Even if the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family wants to marry into the family of a second-rank official with a generous dowry, she will most likely only be a concubine.
Therefore, if Chang Hui could marry into the family, Manager Chang felt that he would not have to worry about his son for the rest of his life.
Now Erya said that the child could also have the surname Chang. If the shopkeeper Chang knew about this, he would be so happy that he would send Chang Hui directly to his door.
