Chapter 400: Low Family Background
After hearing the news, Old Lady Yang and Mrs. Li exchanged glances at the same time, and then quickly looked away like thieves, but they understood each other tacitly and were already overjoyed in their hearts.
Just as he got off the carriage, the clever Xiao Cao'er gave Qi Xingyun a look without saying a word.
Qi Xingyun was so smart that he immediately nodded in understanding. Then the two of them slowed down their pace tacitly and gradually fell behind the others.
Seeing that no one was noticing them, Xiao Cao'er lowered her voice and asked, "Brother Xingyun, have you seen the letter I wrote to you before?" As she spoke, she stared at Qi Xingyun with her big eyes full of expectation.
Qi Xingyun smiled slightly and replied softly: "Of course I read it. I knew you must have come to Zheng's house, so I didn't rush to reply to you."
Xiao Cao'er bit her lip lightly, and then asked cautiously: "Then... Brother Xingyun, what do you think about this matter?" While speaking, she blinked at Qi Xingyun mischievously a few times.
Qi Xingyun looked at the cute girl in front of him and said gently, "Well, it's pretty good. The ones you chose are all good."
After receiving Qi Xingyun's approval, Xiao Cao'er seemed to have taken a reassurance pill, with a happy smile on her face, and she quickly explained: "The last time I attended the autumn banquet held by Duke Qi's Mansion, I met these sisters by chance."
"After spending time with them, I feel like they are all really nice people! And, I discovered that their names are actually on our brochure. What's even more coincidental is that the comments about these people are also quite good! So, I came here to ask you what you think."
At this point, Xiao Cao'er suddenly put away her smile, frowned slightly, and said with a little worry: "However, Brother Xingyun, there is one thing that worries me. The family backgrounds of these families seem to be much higher than ours. I'm a little worried that this marriage may be difficult to come to fruition." After saying that, she sighed softly, looking a little lost.
"Is our family background low?" Qi Xingyun raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiaocao'er with sharp eyes, with a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction in his tone.
Xiao Cao'er was stunned when he asked this. She blinked her big eyes and asked in confusion, "Isn't it low?" She was really confused about the situation and muttered to herself in her heart.
Qi Xingyun couldn't help laughing when he saw her like this, and then said slowly: "What's wrong? Think about it carefully." As he spoke, he reached out and tapped Xiaocao'er's head gently, as if blaming her for being so stupid.
Then, Qi Xingyun began to explain to Xiao Cao'er in detail: "Let's talk about your elder brother first. He is only in his early twenties, and at such a young age he has already reached the sixth rank of editor. His future is bright!"
"Look at your second brother. He has returned from this expedition with great achievements. I'm afraid he will definitely get the position of General of the Cavalry!"
"And your third brother, although he is only a scholar, his business is also flourishing and he is making a lot of money!"
"As for your fourth brother, let alone him. With his talent, he will surely pass the imperial examination next year, and his ranking will definitely not be low!"
Qi Xingyun paused, a look of joy appeared on his face, and continued, "What's more, you will marry into my Yun Palace in the future and become my princess. With the Yun Palace as a backing, the status of the Yang family will naturally rise."
"So, tell me, is such a family background considered low?" After saying that, he looked at Xiao Cao'er provocatively, as if waiting for her answer.
After hearing what he said, Xiao Caoer thought about it carefully and felt that it did make sense.
Although the previous generation was not particularly outstanding, the brothers of this generation were very hardworking and had a bright future. If the current trend continues, the threshold of the Yang family will probably only get higher and higher. Thinking of this, Xiao Cao nodded in agreement.
But soon, she seemed to suddenly remember something and asked quickly: "What do you think about Sister Ling'er and Third Brother being a couple?" Her big watery eyes looked at Qi Xingyun expectantly, and she was obviously very interested in this topic.
"Yes, that's true. With Hua Ming over there, let Hua Ming take him with him more when it comes to business matters. This will also help your third brother broaden his horizons and stop him from always staying in that small area of the teahouse."
Sanmao, this kid, has never achieved anything after all these years except making some money from the idea that Xiaocaoer suggested to him!
Qi Xingyun frowned, and his words revealed a bit of dissatisfaction and disappointment with Sanmao.
"What about the other two ladies?" someone nearby asked curiously.
"As for the granddaughter of Duke Su, she comes from a prominent family with a distinguished background! I wonder how many people are eagerly looking forward to marrying her."
"If she could marry into our Yang family and become the mistress of the household, that would be the icing on the cake! As for the girl from the military doctor's family, their family background is comparable to ours."
