After returning home, Li Yuxin asked Hong'er how she got along with the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. She learned that the two hit it off right after they met.
Knowing whether to be happy or sad. Although getting along with her younger sister-in-law Xu Wen was pleasant, there was still a difference in social status. Li Yuxin sometimes looked at Xu Wen wearing a precious item on her head and couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the difference. It wasn't jealousy, but a deep understanding of the class difference.
This was also partly the reason why he had brought his two daughters to the capital. Aristocratic families, with everything they own, showed their heritage. While a family could live without those fine things, they couldn't live without seeing or knowing them, as that would be petty.
In this life, the business of the eldest wife was even better than in the previous life, but they could only see some ordinary items on the market. The truly fine items were not worth the attention of ordinary people.
Li Yuxin was deeply grateful for Xu Wen's tireless efforts in educating her two daughters, and she also thought that if Hong'er married in the capital, she would be able to visit Xu Wen more often. However, she felt a little reluctant. In her previous life, Hong'er passed away early, and in this life, she would be married in a few years.
That day, Xu Wen and Li Yuxin were strolling around the mansion. Since winter wasn't yet here, they were both planning to get some exercise. On the way, they met Sheng Shu, Sheng Wei, and Yu Jiaxing, who politely bowed to them. The few people returning from the schoolhouse to their residences bowed and then left.
Xu Wen looked at the backs of the three people and said, "Xing'er is a good guy. If the daughter of that family marries him in the future, her life will be more peaceful and stable." Then she talked about the Yu family with Li Yuxin.
Knowing that Lord Yu was devoted to Lin Jiaoniang, Li Yuxin had an idea in mind. She asked tentatively, "Is Lord Yu planning to find a girl from a wealthy family for Xing'er?"
Seeing that Li Yuxin was moved, Xu Wen said slowly, "That's not the case. There aren't any high-class girls among the girls Jiao Niang has been looking at recently. I want to find someone with a gentle temperament and who can manage the household. Jiao Niang herself doesn't have to do housework."
This is great. A mother-in-law who doesn't get involved in household chores is incredibly rare. Sometimes, even after the daughter-in-law has been married for thirty years and has become a grandmother, the mother-in-law still manages the household chores. Add to that Lord Yu's unwavering devotion to Madam Yu for over a decade. If Xing'er doesn't follow Lord Yu's example of having only one wife, then Xing'er, watching his parents get along, will be more respectful of his own wife.
Li Yuxin looked up, her thoughts becoming increasingly clear. She realized her sister-in-law was teasing her. She reached out and patted the smiling Xu Wen, saying, "Tell me, when did Hong'er take a fancy to you?"
Seeing that Li Yuxin quickly reacted, Xu Wen didn't keep it a secret and said bluntly: "It won't be long. Just tell me if it's suitable or not."
They say the more a mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, the more she likes him. She'd always thought Xing'er was cheerful, down-to-earth, and studious. Now, after learning about the Yu residence, she was even more pleased with him. Li Yuxin didn't beat around the bush with Xu Wen and nodded, saying, "I've met Xing'er a few times. I think he's a down-to-earth, studious kid with a good disposition." After a pause, she added, "If Xing'er can learn to treat his wife like Master Yu does, then there's nothing wrong with marrying my daughter to him."
The two smiled at each other. Xu Wen pulled Li Yuxin aside and asked, "I saw you were so reluctant to leave last time. If Hong'er really married in the capital, wouldn't you cry day and night until dawn?"
When talking about the past, Li Yuxin said embarrassedly: "Girls cannot stay at home when they grow up. In the future, I will miss Hong'er and come to Beijing often to disturb her. I have also figured it out. If I marry into a good family, I will have many opportunities to see her. If I marry into a bad family, even if we live close by, it will be difficult to see each other."
