Chapter 551, Gag
Daohua felt a little guilty when the matter suddenly came to her. She felt Madam Li's scrutiny and scrutiny, which made her want to leave quickly. However, thinking of Zhou Jingwan's visit to Beijing to propose marriage, she still tried to test the waters, "Mother, can you help my third brother to find out what Aunt Zhou has to say?"
Madam Li glanced at Daohua and said, "The Zhou family will most likely not agree to this."
Daohua: "Not necessarily. Didn't the Su family agree to our family before?"
Madam Li sighed and patiently explained, "Your third brother and your fourth brother's situations are different. Although they are both descendants of the Yan family, our family still has to separate."
"Your fourth brother has your father and your eldest brother above him, and your third brother, as the eldest son of the third wife, will not only shoulder the responsibilities of the third wife, but also have to support his two younger brothers. His burden is very heavy, which means that his future wife will have a hard time."
"Tell me yourself, would your Aunt Zhou agree to marry Jingwan, who was raised so pampered, to him?"
Daohua frowned and shook Madam Li's arm. "Mother, besides family background, isn't the personality also important when choosing a marriage partner? You know Third Brother's character, so just help him. He's working with Xiao Yeyang now, so he'll definitely have a bright future."
Mrs. Li was helpless after being shaken: "Okay, I'll give it a try, but don't get your hopes up."
Daohua nodded quickly.
Just at this time, a maid from the Zhou family came over and said that the wife of the Xingzhou prefect had come and wanted to meet Madam Li.
Mrs. Li tidied her clothes and left.
As soon as she left, Daohua hurriedly asked Wang Man'er to bring pen and ink and started writing a letter to Yan Wentao.
Xiao Yeyang and her two brothers were very busy during this period, and they couldn't even attend Brother Zhou's wedding. So, she could only write a letter to inform her third brother about the situation.
After finishing the letter, Daohua called Yanying directly and said, "Hurry and send it to Third Brother."
She still has to fight for her own marriage. She knows that the reason why the Su family changed their minds is because her fourth brother took Xiao Yeyang and third brother to the Su family.
Although I don’t know what they talked about specifically, it should be nothing more than Fourth Brother showing his value and importance of this marriage in front of the Su family.
Although aristocratic families attach great importance to matching, if the person is outstanding enough, it is not impossible to relax the conditions a little.
In the evening, Daohua went to the main courtyard to have dinner. As soon as she arrived, she found that the smile on Mrs. Li's face seemed a little forced, and her heart sank suddenly.
After dinner, Daohua sent Madam Li back to the guest house to rest. On the way, she couldn't help but ask, "Mother, is it Aunt Zhou who disagrees?"
Madam Li nodded. "Don't mention this anymore. The Su family didn't say anything final before, but today, the moment I let out a word, Madam Zhou blocked it." She sighed and said, "Your Aunt Zhou also said that Master Zhou has already found a talented young man for Jingwan in the capital, and they will go to see him as soon as he arrives in Beijing."
Daohua was anxious: "Why so sudden?"
Madam Li laughed. "What do you mean by sudden? When your Aunt Zhou said she was going to the capital, I had a vague feeling that something was amiss. Now that I think about it, the Zhou family must have already decided to choose a husband for Jingwan in the capital."
"mother"
Seeing Daohua was about to say something, Madam Li raised her hand to interrupt her: "Listen to mother, don't mention this matter again. The Zhou family has already clearly refused. If you bring it up again, it will make people dislike you."
Zhou Chengye's courtyard.
Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Jingwan were confirming for the last time whether everything needed for tomorrow's wedding was ready.
Looking at the two busy people, Zhou Chengye smiled and said, "Mom, little sister, don't bother. We've checked it many times. There won't be any mistakes."
Mrs. Zhou glanced at her son and said, "You only get married once in your life, so I will naturally prepare everything for you. Don't worry, once your wife comes home, I won't bother to care about you anymore."
Zhou Chengye smiled and said, "Even if I marry a wife, I am still your son and I still have to take care of you."
Madam Zhou glared at him and asked, "Have you arranged accommodations for all the friends who came to congratulate you?"
Zhou Chengye nodded: "Everything has been arranged."
At this time, Zhou Jingwan interrupted: "What good friends are you talking about? My brother is getting married, and even some classmates who we haven't interacted with much are coming, but Brother Yan San can't come."
Hearing his sister's complaints, Zhou Chengye smiled and said, "Aren't they busy? It's not intentional."
Zhou Jingwan curled her lips and said, "What can they be busy with? Brother Yan San is the same. He always follows the little prince around everywhere and never comes to our house to sit down more often."
Hearing her daughter's words, Mrs. Zhou was stunned.
Her daughter used to say this all the time, but she didn't take it seriously because she knew her daughter got along well with the Yan family's children and she just thought the children had a good relationship.
But when Mrs. Li revealed today that she wanted to bring Jingwan and Wentao together, she realized something was wrong.
Coupled with what her daughter had just said, Mrs. Zhou felt a sinking feeling in her heart. Looking at her daughter's somewhat disappointed look because Yan Wentao didn't come, she frowned tightly.
My daughter looks like this, could it be that she has fallen in love with Yan Wentao?
Mrs. Zhou's mood suddenly turned bad.
Zhou Chengye and Zhou Jingwan, who were standing by, did not notice Mrs. Zhou's mood change.
Zhou Jingwan confirmed that there was nothing missing for tomorrow's wedding, then looked at Madam Zhou and said, "Mom, let's go back. Yiyi is still waiting for me."
Mrs. Zhou nodded: "Let's go."
On the way, Mrs. Zhou suddenly said, "I'll come to your room and sit down to see what clothes you've chosen for tomorrow."
Zhou Jingwan laughed and said, "Mother, are you still not confident in your daughter's judgment? In which important occasion have I ever embarrassed our family?"
Mrs. Zhou didn't say anything and insisted on following Zhou Jingwan to her yard.
Seeing that Daohua had not returned yet, Zhou Jingwan went to get the clothes for Mrs. Zhou to check.
Daohua only came back after Mrs. Zhou had checked all the clothes and packing that Zhou Jingwan was going to wear tomorrow.
Seeing that Madam Zhou was also there, Daohua was a little surprised, but she immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Aunt Zhou."
Mrs. Zhou nodded, asked Zhou Jingwan to put the clothes and jewelry away, then stood up and said, "I just came here to take a look. It's time to go back and rest." As she said that, she walked out.
Daohua hurriedly followed to see him off.
After leaving the room, Mrs. Zhou casually took Daohua's hand and asked as they walked out, "Is your mother asleep?"
Daohua glanced at the hand being held, her eyes flashing: "She has fallen asleep."
At this moment, the two of them had already reached the gate of the courtyard.
Madam Zhou stopped and looked at Daohua with a smile: "Your mother should have told you that we are going to the capital, right?"
Rice Flower nodded.
Madam Zhou was silent for a moment. "Jingwan has become a bit spoiled by me. She gets angry easily when things don't go her way. So, I didn't tell her the purpose of going to the capital to avoid her making a fuss."
Daohua instantly understood why Mrs. Zhou appeared here?
Jingwan obviously didn't know that she was going to the capital to propose marriage. Madam Zhou was standing here just to shut her up.
After a moment of silence, Daohua couldn't help but say, "Aunt, since you're arranging a marriage for Jingwan, shouldn't you let her know?"
Madam Zhou smiled and said, "Of course I have to let her know, but not now. When she meets the young man her second uncle has chosen for her, I will tell her."
As he said this, he took Daohua's hand and clapped his hands in fear.
"Good boy, I know you and Jingwan have been close since childhood, and the two of you are like sisters. So, you won't ruin Jingwan's good marriage, and you won't do anything to damage her reputation, right?"
Daohua's face froze: "Aunt Zhou, my third brother..."
Mrs. Zhou immediately interrupted, "Wentao is a good boy. I like him very much. After I have arranged Jingwan's marriage and returned from the capital, if your mother is willing, I can help you find a good girl for Wenao."
Hearing what Mrs. Zhou said, Daohua pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
At this time, Zhou Jingwan came out of the room.
Madam Zhou glanced at her, then turned her gaze to Daohua. "My dear child, tomorrow is your elder brother Zhou's big day. I want to see Jingwan happily welcoming her sister-in-law into the family. You think so too, don't you?"
Daohua smiled bitterly and nodded: "Of course."
Mrs. Zhou smiled: "I knew you were a good child."
Zhou Jingwan came over: "Mom, Yiyi, what are you talking about?"
Mrs. Zhou: "I'm asking Yiyi for help. Let her watch you so that you don't make a fuss all the time."
Zhou Jingwan was not happy: "I wasn't making any noise, I was very well behaved."
Daohua didn't look into Zhou Jingwan's eyes. She looked up at the moon in the sky and suddenly felt a little cold.
