Chapter 417 Finding a Husband for Ruoruo
Recently, Ruoruo has become fond of making incense. She has made a lot of things and stays in the house to tinker with them by herself, and no longer goes out to play.
In addition to looking at the account books every day, Nian Nian also has to pay attention to Han Shiyi's news.
She was worried about Han Shiyi, but her worry was trapped in the inner house, and seemed a little powerless and helpless.
I know that my aunt's nephew has come to Kyoto.
Nian Nian went to find Ruoruo and told her the news.
Ruoruo took a pair of scissors and cut off the petals so that they could be dried later.
"Ruoruo, aren't you worried?" Nian Nian asked her, "It's normal for you to be worried. If you don't say anything, I'll be even more worried about you."
"With your brother not around, I will naturally protect you even more."
Ruoruo chuckled and said, "Sister, you handle your own affairs very well and calmly, but why do you become so timid and cautious when it comes to my affairs?"
"Didn't mother say, just take a look. If you like it, then keep it. If not, forget it."
Ruoruo was also anxious.
She just clearly realized that she was an outsider in the Chen family of the Marquis' Mansion. Since she was an outsider, she had to leave when it was time to leave and could not stay there forever.
She thought that it wouldn't be a bad thing if she really found someone who was meant for her.
But she had one request, which was to marry in Kyoto and not far away.
She still hopes that she will have the chance to come back often in the future.
She couldn't bear to leave her sister Nian Nian, her brother, the several brothers in the Marquis' Mansion, and her adoptive father and mother. She couldn't bear to leave them all.
But when people grow up, they always have to become independent and face life alone.
"Don't worry about me, sister. I'm fine. But has my brother sent you any letter?"
Nian Nian shook her head in disappointment.
“No.”
She was really worried that this free relationship allowed by her parents would end in failure.
Han Shiyi, can he come back?
Even if you can't come back, at least write her a letter.
***
Soon it was the day when Ruoruo wanted to see her husband.
Ruoruo dressed up nicely, and as for Li Rui, he came with his aunt.
Li Yuan did not let Li Rui's mother come over. Her second sister-in-law was originally from a merchant family. If she entered the Marquis' Mansion, she was afraid that some rules would be inappropriate and it would bring shame to Li Rui.
Li Rui's outfit today was pretty good. He was wearing a crescent-white gown, which matched his fair complexion. He wore a piece of white jade around his waist and a jade hairpin on his head to hold his hair together. He looked like a handsome and elegant young man.
Ruoruo and Nian Nian were sitting on the second floor of the Moon Viewing Pavilion, and happened to see Li Rui standing or sitting in the pavilion.
Yun Qiao and Li Yuan both went there.
When choosing a husband for her daughter, Yun Qiao naturally wanted to take a good look.
However, Li Rui stuttered in answering her questions.
"Are you a little nervous?" Yun Qiao asked.
Thinking that he was Li Yuan's nephew from her mother's side, he shouldn't be a bad person. The child had a good appearance and height, but he was indeed nervous and uneasy.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking you some common questions."
"Yes, you ask." Li Rui became nervous, his mind was blank, he didn't know what he was thinking, and Yun Qiao couldn't see what he was thinking.
Yun Qiao saw him like this and started laughing.
"I won't ask too many questions, and don't be nervous. We're just talking."
"How old are you this year? How is your study? Are your parents okay?..."
As Yun Qiao asked questions, Li Rui began to answer them seriously.
But every sentence was added with "my mother said".
"My mother said..."
Li Yuan on the other side held her forehead with her hand. She knew that under Yun Qiao's questioning, the problem with her nephew would definitely be discovered.
Li Yuan knew that Yun Qiao was giving her face by not being angry at this time.
She was busy interrupting Li Rui.
"Rui'er, go for a walk first. Your aunt will have something to say to the lady."
Li Yuan was already trying to find topics to help Li Rui, but it seemed like the kid had become stupid from studying too much.
He said, "Aunt, where should I go for a walk? I am not familiar with the Marquis's Mansion and don't know where to go."
In the end, Yun Qiao asked the maid to invite Silang over.
The only one in the family who can accompany Li Rui is Silang.
He was not at home in the morning and in the military camp in the evening. Chen Yang was also in the academy. Only Silang had not been to school for a few days. Silang did not like to study, but even if he did, he was encouraged to take the imperial examination. He took it for the first time and did well in the exam and became a scholar. Later, he did not take the exam again.
No matter what Yun Qiao and Chen Jingyan said, the child just refused to go.
As parents, they compromised.
If the child doesn't want to take the exam, then he doesn't have to go. As long as he doesn't do anything bad, it's fine. Yun Qiao thought about waiting for two or three years and then giving Silang two shops so that he can go out and try his luck.
She is her own child, and she cannot expect all of them to become successful.
Yun Qiao has a good attitude on this point.
When he was called over, Chen Silang still looked reluctant.
Especially knowing that this man is Ruoruo's younger sister's prospective husband.
But since his mother had spoken, Silang came reluctantly.
"Silang, take your brother Li to the garden for a look."
Chen Silang hummed, "I understand, mother."
After the two left, Li Yuan looked at Yun Qiao, his face full of apology. "Mother Qiao, I was wrong about this. I thought Rui'er was quite nice before, but I didn't expect him to be so nice, a little too nice."
"My second sister-in-law came along this time, and in front of her, Rui'er's character flaws were clearly revealed."
Yun Qiao hit the nail on the head and said, "He's a sissy boy."
"Let's forget about this marriage. Ruoruo is still young, and we're just mentioning it to her now, so it might not necessarily come to fruition. But if there's a reliable nephew on your side of the family, we can still introduce him to someone, but you must make sure to find out everything."
Seeing that Yun Qiao didn't seem to blame him, Li Yuan felt even more guilty.
After thinking for a while, he said, "There are one or two good ones in the Gu family, but their family backgrounds are too low. I was afraid that Ruoruo would be wronged again if she married into them, so I didn't consider it."
In fact, Li Yuan also wanted to help his nephew from his mother's side.
If my nephew from my mother's family marries Ruoruo, it would be equivalent to marrying into the Marquis's family.
It is also a great thing for her family.
If she helped several unmarried men in the Gu family to find marriages and mentioned Ruoruo from the Marquis' Mansion, wouldn't that be helping the Gu family?
For Li Yuan, she is still close to her mother's family in her heart.
After Gu Heng became rich, he wanted to take every dog in his family and make them guard dogs in the compound. Li Yuan watched Gu Heng help some of the most distant relatives in his family.
Naturally, she also wanted to get something for her parents' home.
But my nephew from my mother's side is unreliable.
She almost lost face in front of Yun Qiao.
This marriage, she said, can't be successful...
As for the people in the Gu family, Yun Qiao didn't consider them and told Li Yuan that the marriage of this child Ruoruo could be discussed later and not for now.
The two had just said a few words when they suddenly heard a servant come to report.
It was said that the fourth young master beat up the young master of the Li family.
