"Granddaughter pays respects to her maternal grandparents."
Zhou Zhizhi could actually try her best to act more obedient, and she would still be very willing.
After all, this will save you a lot of trouble.
A wealthy man dressed in a dignified and luxurious manner, even with a full head of white hair, his skin was still quite delicate.
"Oh dear, get up quickly."
He looked up and saw his maternal grandmother.
Actually, in my memory, the two of them were very distant.
I don't know why they came this time. The last time they parted on bad terms was because the two of them wanted to marry off their wives to a lecherous man.
Then why should I agree?
Moreover, nowadays, is being the imperial advisor actually more enjoyable than marrying a man?
There's simply no comparison.
My maternal grandfather's family was in business.
Previously, relying on his father's reputation as a general, he had actually run a fairly large business.
Even though the family fortunes have declined and things are not as good as before, it's still a case of a lean camel being bigger than a horse.
My maternal grandfather sat beside me, his face still very gloomy.
And most importantly, Chen Yu, who likes the Second Prince, is the maternal grandfather's biological granddaughter.
She was just his granddaughter.
Now that both parents have passed away, the general's mansion is slowly declining.
Although it has become the state's policy, the principle is merely a pawn in the emperor's hands.
It's really nothing.
"You're not getting any younger, and all you do these days is run around outside. Aren't you worried about your own marriage at all?"
“Your father and mother are gone, and we only have your mother as our daughter. We are not worried about you, but don’t you want to come back to our mansion to see us?”
When my grandfather said this, he was actually questioning me the whole time.
They never thought that Zhou Zhizhi, a young girl, could live a peaceful life in the scheming court.
Moreover, my maternal grandmother stood beside me, though she looked rather troubled.
But in reality, it was all in accordance with the grandfather's wishes that he was waiting for.
The two of them, one playing the bad cop and the other the good cop, were really quite interesting.
Zhou Zhizhi may have previously felt that her maternal grandmother was very kind to her.
But now that I'm clear-headed, I never think that way anymore.
She stood up, smiled faintly, sat down on the stool next to her, and calmly poured herself a cup of tea.
He remained as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened.
Dealing with these two old men is really very easy for me.
“Grandfather, you don’t know that your granddaughter is not very old, and she is actually a year younger than your sister, isn’t she?”
"Since Sister Yu is not married, my granddaughter is not in a hurry."
Zhou Zhizhi naturally knew that Chen Yu was in love with the Second Prince.
Moreover, my maternal grandfather also intended to bring the two of them together.
It wasn't that they hadn't considered settling scores with people in officialdom.
In this way, their business will be better.
For example, one's own mother and father.
After the clarification at that time, their business began to flourish.
But there's no such thing as a free lunch.
It can't go on like this forever.
The fact that the father and mother died on the frontier battlefield doesn't necessarily mean that the family was very sad.
Perhaps the saddest thing is that he will no longer have his father, the general, to protect him in the business world.
When the grandmother heard this, she quickly tried to cover for her.
"Why are you still holding a grudge, you little brat?"
“Your grandfather said the same thing last time. Although his tone was a bit harsh, a young girl like you still needs to get married.”
"My cousin already has someone she likes, and I guess it won't be long before they get married."
"Right now, you're the one we're most worried about."
When Zhou Zhizhi heard this, she raised an eyebrow in slight surprise.
Chen Yu had displayed his paintings among the ladies and wives in the capital.
She absolutely will not marry anyone who is not the second prince.
However, their family's social status was still somewhat lacking.
Who does my cousin like?
Zhou Zhizhi pretended not to understand anything, but in reality, she really didn't understand at all.
Chen Yuming knew that the Second Prince did not like him, but he insisted on trying to win him over, even for more than ten years.
If the Second Prince really likes him, that would indeed be a good thing, after all, Chen Yu is a brainless idiot.
She'll be easy to manipulate once she marries into the royal family and becomes a princess.
"You little brat, didn't you really hear what was going on?"
My grandmother had a smile on her lips as she said this, as if she was very pleased with the marriage.
Zhou Zhizhi was naturally a little curious when she saw this.
From what I know, the Second Prince could never possibly be interested in that little girl.
However, it would be impossible to replace Chen Yu with someone else.
“My granddaughter has been busy elsewhere these days and hasn’t stayed in Beijing at all.”
After Zhou Zhizhi finished speaking, her grandfather smashed his teacup on the ground.
"Look at you now, you don't act like a girl anymore, you're more like a tomboy, always wearing these clothes instead of skirts, is that it?"
Looking at her own clothes, Zhou Zhizhi realized they were just typical girly clothes, but rather simple and plain.
It really wasn't as embarrassing as my grandfather described.
This person is just belittling themselves in order to pressure others into marriage.
Elders like this really don't receive any respect.
Zhou Zhizhi looked down at her clothes, pretending not to understand.
"What are you saying, Grandfather?"
"This dress of mine was a gift from Her Majesty the Empress."
This garment does look quite simple, but it is actually finely crafted, and the fabric was imported from the Western Regions by the men.
So, some people seem to have a very broad perspective and want to show off in front of their juniors.
But in reality, he really is like a clown.
These words really left my grandfather speechless, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
At this very opportune moment, my grandmother changed the subject.
"Of course it's the Second Prince. He's been visiting our residence quite often lately, and he's been very attentive. His relationship with your cousin has also improved compared to before."
"Grandmother thinks good things are coming soon. After a few days, the wedding date will probably be set."
"But now you're the only one left."
"Grandmother knew of a family that, although not wealthy, were very kind people."
