Chapter 210, Cunning and Clever
Feeling the silence around them, Daohua and Zhou Jingwan, who were not yet thick-skinned enough, lowered their voices and their cheeks gradually turned red.
Is this an exaggeration?
The two girls looked at each other, neither of them sure whether to continue.
Now, the ladies and young ladies of each family should, seem to, probably remember their brothers, right?
Daohua glanced at Dong Yuanyao next to her and thought that this was the Dong family's cruise ship. It would be difficult for the Yan family and the Zhou family to overshadow the Dong family, so she raised the corners of her mouth and smiled at Dong Yuanyao.
"Brother Dong is also very good. When Sister Dong was riding a horse today, he followed her on horseback the whole time, fearing that she would get hurt. His heroic figure on horseback was truly extraordinary."
When Dong Yuanyao saw that Daohua turned the conversation to her, she looked a little reluctant.
She is not as shameless as Yan Yiyi and Zhou Jingwan. Look how much she praises her brother.
But thinking about her mother's previous nagging about marrying her brother, Dong Yuanyao put her face aside and said, "My eldest brother is not that great. He is not that great except that he is a bit talented in both literature and martial arts, a bit knowledgeable, a bit honest and reliable, a bit good in both character and learning, a bit steady and reserved, and a bit handsome. But there is nothing else good about him."
This time, it was Daohua and Zhou Jingwan's turn to be stunned.
Wow, they at least pointed out some shortcomings, but Dong Yuanyao was just praising them all without even worrying about blurting her tongue.
After investigation, it was found that this person was even more shameless than them.
"Puff~"
On the other side of the screen, when Dong Yuanyao opened his mouth, Dong Jiancheng, who had just been watching the show, spat out the tea he had just drunk.
Yan Zhigao and Master Zhou looked at each other and smiled, feeling somewhat gloating.
Okay, now the three of them should stop making fun of each other.
Following Yan Wenxiu and Zhou Chengye, Dong Yuanxuan wished he could crawl into a hole in the ground.
While they were feeling ashamed, Su Hongxin was looking at his sister Su Shiyu with anticipation.
The sisters of Dong Yuanxuan, Yan Wenxiu, and Zhou Chengye all praised their brothers to the heavens. Since his sisters were so knowledgeable and talented, they should be able to praise him to be even more handsome, more elegant, and more graceful, right?
However, he was disappointed.
When his sister saw his eyes, she actually lowered her head.
On the opposite side, Su Shiyu was filled with shame. She had brought shame to her brother. There was nothing she could do. She really couldn't be as bold as Yuan Yao and the other two.
Brother, I’m sorry, I can’t do this!
“Hahaha~”
“Hahaha~”
After a brief silence, the cabin erupted in laughter.
Some ladies were laughing so hard that they were bent over with their mouths wide open. Even the girls were no longer reserved and leaned on each other, their upper bodies twitching with laughter.
This time, every family had completely remembered Yan Wenxiu and Zhou Chengye.
There's no way. Daohua and Zhou Jingwan mention the two of them every time they speak, so I can't help but remember them.
On the other side of the screen, the men were also laughing and congratulating Yan Zhigao and Master Zhou for having a good son.
Although it was just a joke among the girls, one can still get a glimpse of the character and talent of Yan Wenxiu and Zhou Chengye from their words.
Both boys are very good.
Some families with girls of marriageable age are actually thinking seriously about getting married.
Well, the Zhou family is good in all aspects, but the Yan family’s foundation and background are a little weaker.
Dong Yuanxuan and the others were so embarrassed that they dared not stay any longer, fearing that Daohua and the other two would cause trouble. They used the excuse that it was getting late and they had to go back to the academy, and fled off the cruise ship, as if they were on fire.
On this side, Master Zhou and Yan Zhigao also said goodbye to Dong Jiancheng, and left with Madam Zhou, Daohua, and Zhou Jingwan, who lowered their heads and dared not look at anyone.
Afterwards, the others also left.
After everyone left, Mrs. Dong couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed heartily, saying, "The girls from the Yan family and the Zhou family are so cute. How could they be so cunning?"
Dong Yuanyao curled her lips and said, "The real tricky one is Yan Yiyi, and Jingwan is just following her."
Dong Jiancheng smiled and walked over, saying, "Although he's cunning, he's also quite clever."
Nowadays, the ladies and young ladies of each family have a certain understanding of Yan Wenxiu and Zhou Chengye, and they all have an idea of whether they are suitable for their daughters.
Madam Dong nodded. "That's right. Those two girls are good. It's amazing that they know how to help their brother at such a young age."
Dong Yuanyao: "Mom, I also praised my brother."
Mrs. Dong rolled her eyes at her daughter and said, "Your praise is too general. You should praise people like those two girls did, and get to the specific points. That way, people can get a more intuitive understanding of a person."
Zhou family cruise ship.
Mrs. Zhou smiled and pulled Daohua, asking her to sit next to her.
Daohua couldn't handle this enthusiasm, and felt a little uncomfortable. She asked weakly, "Auntie, did I do something wrong?"
Mrs. Zhou smiled and shook her head, and touched the back of Daohua's head affectionately: "You did nothing wrong. You have helped your aunt a lot."
Among the families on the Dong family's cruise ship, there was a girl whom she had chosen for her eldest son.
Originally, the family's attitude towards their family was somewhat ambiguous, but after the quarrel between their daughter and Daohua, when they just got off the boat, the girl's mother pulled her aside and talked to her for a long time, implying that she wanted the two families to get to know each other better.
To be honest, for a family like theirs, the Zhou family, they could marry any girl they wanted in Zhongzhou Province, but since it was a matter of life and death for their eldest son, the parents wanted to find him a girl who was compatible with them.
So, it is inevitable to pick some.
But even so, it is not necessarily possible to pick one that the eldest son likes and is suitable for him.
She had been eyeing that girl for a long time. No matter her family background, appearance, or personality, she was a perfect match for her eldest son. If she missed out on her, she would regret it.
Zhou Jingwan noticed Daohua's discomfort and immediately rescued her from her mother's grasp: "Mom, Daohua and I are going to look after our horses."
Mrs. Zhou did not stop him, but only warned: "Be careful."
When Yan Zhigao brought the rice flowers back to the Yan Mansion, it was already one quarter past ten.
Both the father and daughter had a lot of fun today, and they both had smiles on their faces when they returned home.
"Father, let me take the horse to the stable first."
Yan Zhigao glanced at the Ferghana horse held by his eldest daughter and nodded, "Go quickly and come back soon. Your grandmother and your mother must be worried about you."
Daohua nodded: "Yes, I will be there soon."
By the time Daohua arrived at Songheyuan, Yan Zhigao had already told everyone how Daohua had promoted Yan Wenxiu in front of the ladies of other families, which made everyone laugh.
Seeing her enter the room, Madam Li scolded her with a smile: "You little girl, your mother is not even worried yet, but you are already worried about your brother."
Daohua sat down next to Old Lady Yan and said, "Mom, I just mentioned it briefly. You and father still have to decide on my brother's marriage."
Sun's expression changed, and she glanced at her son Yan Wenjie: "In the blink of an eye, Wenxiu is about to get married. Time flies."
Madam Li also sighed: "Isn't it true? In the blink of an eye, Wen Xiu is already sixteen."
Sun smiled and said, "Wenjie is only a few months younger than Wenxiu. He will be sixteen soon. Daohua can't just think about her eldest brother, she has to think about her second brother too."
Mrs. Li's smile faded slightly, and she did not respond.
As for Daohua, she didn't listen at all and was whispering to the old lady about what happened today.
After that, Sun brought up the topic of rice flowers several times, but was interrupted by Madam Li each time.
