Li Huyu wanted to ask what was wrong with the merchants' families.
With good food, drink, and lodging, and being kind to someone else's daughter, a harmonious and peaceful life for the couple—isn't that great?
But then I thought, Shui Qing has the ability to make money, and Fan Jin is a scholar after all. He hasn't passed the imperial examination yet, but if he does one day, he will immediately change his social standing.
At that time, Yan Qiu and Xing Hui will naturally be able to marry into families of officials.
As long as you choose a good man, a smooth and peaceful marriage is fine. Why choose a merchant's family?
Thinking of this, Li Huyu's excited expression dimmed.
The tiny flame of hope had just begun to ignite when it was extinguished again.
Silence remained in the carriage for a long time, so Bai Manshan could only comfort her: "Don't think about it. It's fine to get along as friends now."
When Qian'er is a little older... she can recognize Shui Qing as her godmother, so that their relationship can last a long time.
In the end, he still couldn't give up.
What if the children develop feelings for each other on their own?
That's not impossible.
However, we can't mention it before that, not even a little bit, otherwise if it doesn't work out, we might not even be able to stay in touch as friends!
Li Huyu focused on recognizing a godmother.
The thought was that once Qian'er recognized Shui Qing as her godmother, there would be no possibility of anything else happening.
She thought to herself, "Qian'er isn't too bad, is he?"
Then I thought of that boy named Ling Ran.
She is outstanding in appearance, tall and slender, speaks and acts with composure and poise, and is diligent and hardworking... In contrast, my own son seems to be inferior in every way.
Sigh, it's true what they say, comparing people is just asking for trouble, comparing goods is just asking for trouble.

The group watched Bai Manshan and Li Huyu's carriage leave until it was no longer visible.
Shui Qing was about to turn around and comfort Bai Ziqian, telling him to make himself at home and not to feel awkward.
Turning around, I saw Bai Ziqian skipping and hopping to get his machete and basket; his cheerful figure showed no trace of sadness.
However, she still said, "You are a guest now, so you don't need to overwork yourself."
Bai Ziqian's eyes widened, his fair face filled with sorrow: "Why are you a guest?"
"Before, I was considered family. But after Brother Ling came, am I relegated to being just a guest?"
Shui Qing: .....You didn't hear the second half of the sentence at all.
"Alright, make yourself at home and get to work."
Bai Ziqian finally regained his energy, cheerfully agreed, and ran outside.
However, he was very aware of the crisis and thought that he had to find an opportunity to tie himself tightly to Uncle Fan's family and become their real family!
Shuiqing had no idea what the boy was thinking; she had very important things to do right now.
She brought paper and pen and called out to the room, "Yan Qiuxing, come back, I have something to tell you."
A moment later, Yan Qiuxing came out of the wine shop, looking at Shuiqing with a blank expression and asking, "Mother, what's wrong?"
“Now that we’re making less rice wine each day, I’ll teach you how to read the account books in your spare time,” Shui Qing said excitedly.
Learning to read account books was one of the essential skills that women in wealthy, affluent households had to learn.
Only by understanding the accounts can one manage their household finances and avoid being misled.
Regardless of the size of the family or the household, whoever holds the reins of the economy is the one who is comfortable.
Whether or not one has the ability directly determines the quality of life for the entire family!
"You must know how to earn money, save money, and, more importantly, know where the money is spent."
Yan Qiu and Xing Hui have learned to read in the past few months by following their father's guidance.
