Chapter 519: Is it a big deal to raise a rich man?

Since marrying into the Yu family, Cen Yueyi has become much more plump and her complexion is getting better day by day.

Even the two uncles of the Song family could not find any fault with it, and they could not stop praising Yu Yonghuai. He just returned to Suyang a few days ago with great satisfaction. However, Song Shouqing did not leave and stayed in the capital.

The Song family had a student who was the principal of the Zhizhi Academy, which was famous in the capital. Song Shouqing enrolled in the academy and usually lived in the academy. He became classmates with Ju Ge'er, Wei Zihang and others.

Because of Cen Yueyi's relationship, even if these literati looked at it with the most critical eyes, they could not find any fault with the Yu family's treatment of Cen Yueyi.

Therefore, Bai Xiaofeng was quite unhappy when Zhou Jijiu's wife said this.

It was as if their Yu family was some kind of monster.

Moreover, these days, since Yu Yongliu won the first prize in the imperial examination, the door of his family has been trampled by marriage proposals. Zhou Jijiu's family is really not particularly outstanding among them. Bai Xiaofeng was so proud of herself. At the time when she was most proud, she felt that she was not too arrogant to look down on others and treat the wife of Jijiu and her family with contempt!

Even Bai Xiaofeng was willing to hold her nose and really sit down to discuss her children's marriage, but Zhou Jijiu's family acted like that, how could Bai Xiaofeng not be angry?

I haven't even said anything about my dislike for your family's bad traditions, but you're the first one to speak in a pretentious manner to my family!

Bai Xiaofeng pulled Xingxing and complained for a long time.

Xing Xing asked Bai Xiao Feng: "Second Aunt, have you agreed to this marriage?"

Bai Xiaofeng curled her lips and muttered to Xingxing, "I don't really want to agree. It's not that I look down on you because your third brother is rich, but... Xingxing, you know, last time we went to the Jijiu Mansion as a guest, I complained to you about the fact that the eldest daughter and the two concubines were almost the same age. I had some opinions about this marriage. But they still put on a pretentious tone in front of me. Doesn't that mean they are afraid that I and your grandmother will torture the girls? Ha! Who do they think we are?"

"Xingxing, you know that your grandma loves little girls the most. When they came to play, they went to pay their respects to your grandma. Your grandma knew that this might be your future third sister-in-law, so she was very happy and gave her a big gold bracelet as a meeting gift. As a result, they thought of me and your grandma like this. I felt sorry for that big gold bracelet!"

Bai Xiaofeng felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke. She pulled Xingxing to encourage herself, "No, let's go, Xingxing. Your third brother is in the study in front. Come with me to see him... I have to ask him. If he doesn't like the daughter of Zhou Jijiu's family, I think we should not discuss marriage. It's very annoying."

Xingxing would naturally be unhappy seeing others thinking of her grandmother and her aunt like that!

Bai Xiaofeng asked her to go find her third brother to find out, and Xing Xing agreed in one breath: "Okay!"

The aunt and nephew walked towards Yu Yongliu's study arm in arm.

Yu Yongliu had just seen off a classmate who came to visit him, and the newly poured tea was still scalding. He was a little puzzled when he saw his mother and sister coming over.

He stood up to greet them: "Mom, Xingxing, why are you here?"

Bai Xiaofeng glanced at Xingxing, encouraged herself, and said, "...Son, you are not young anymore. If you were not educated at your age, you would be a father in our countryside. But don't think too much. You haven't passed the palace examination yet, and I don't want to bother you with such a mundane matter as marriage. But I met Mrs. Zhou Jijiu and her daughter today, and I was not very happy. So I came to ask you - if you were to be married to Zhou Jijiu's daughter, would you be happy?"

Yu Yongliu was smart and guessed it immediately. He was afraid that his mother was not very happy about the marriage with Zhou Jijiu's family.

Yu Yongliu glanced at Xingxing who was twisting her fingers beside him.

It seems that mother has convinced Xingxing.

Yu Yongliu said calmly, "Mother, I've said that it's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. If you like a girl, as long as her character is acceptable, I won't have any objections. On the contrary, if you are not satisfied with a girl, as long as she is reasonable, I will not marry her."

Although Bai Xiaofeng was quite satisfied with her son's answer, she said happily, "It's better if you like her... I don't mean to say bad things about the daughter of Zhou Jijiu's family. She is quite good. But I was not very satisfied with Zhou Jijiu's family. Today she came to me and told me that her daughter was raised to be a rich woman and asked me and your grandmother to take good care of her when she married into the family."

"Son, what do you mean by saying that?" Bai Xiaofeng was still angry when he thought about it, and said angrily, "I almost turned pale when I heard this. You said you raised a rich child, so what? Is it a big deal to raise a rich child? Do you think your grandmother and I should take care of it? Who do you think your grandmother and I are!"

After saying this, Yu Yongliu also straightened his expression: "Mom, if that's the case, let's not consider it."

After hearing Yu Yongliu's words, Bai Xiaofeng felt completely relieved.

She smiled brightly: "Okay, okay, I feel relieved when you say that."

Bai Xiaofeng was in a hurry and was about to leave, pulling Xingxing away.

Yu Yongliu called out to Xingxing: "Mom, I just need to talk to Xingxing about something. You can go back first."

Bai Xiaofeng nodded, then thought of something else and told Xingxing, "…The weather is getting warmer now. I made you a new spring outfit. After you finish talking to your third brother, come try it on. If there's anything that doesn't fit, I'll make some alterations."

Although the Yu family is wealthy and has a large population, and they have a special team of tailors to make clothes, women like Bai Xiaofeng and Su Rouer, who are good at needlework, are still accustomed to making a set of clothes for Xingxing every year when the season changes. This is a rule that even their own sons may not have this treatment.

This shows how favored Xingxing is among the female members of the Yu family.

Xing Xing smiled with her eyebrows curved, and replied: "I know, Second Auntie, Second Auntie is so good to me!"

Bai Xiaofeng felt sweet inside and said, "Who made our Xingxing so well behaved that Second Aunt couldn't help but love you when she saw you."

After Bai Xiaofeng left, Yu Yongliu and his sister Xingxing were the only ones left in the study.

Xing Xing asked curiously, "Third brother, what's the matter?"

Yu Yongliu considered his words carefully: "Xingxing, do you still remember Wei Zihang? Has he asked you out recently?"

Xing Xing nodded: "I remember, Third Brother, what happened to him? He invited me to go hiking a few days ago, but I was too lazy to go out, so I didn't go."

Yu Yongliu looked at the innocence on Xingxing's face and remembered what Wei Zihang, his eldest brother, had told him, that his family intended to propose marriage to Xingxing when she was older. He paused and smiled, "Nothing much. I just met his eldest brother at a poetry meeting a few days ago and he mentioned a few things."

Yu Yongliu was afraid that Xingxing would misunderstand him, so he deliberately said, "...I was just asking casually. You don't have to have any special opinions about that boy. Just get along with him normally."

Xing Xing was confused, but still agreed.
