Chapter 399: A Pair
Xiao Caoer felt helpless and amused when she saw her grandmother and mother's lack of confidence.
She shook her head gently and said, "Grandma, Mom, how can you be so unconfident! My brothers all have unlimited potential! Although they may not have achieved much now, they are still young after all, and there are countless possibilities in the future!"
"We have to look at the long term and not just focus on the present situation. Maybe in a few years, they will be able to soar to the sky! When that happens, you two will be so happy!"
After saying this, Xiao Cao'er seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and then added: "How about we ask Brother Xingyun and Brother Huaming when the time comes? They are knowledgeable and must know more about this kind of thing than we do. Listening to their opinions may give us a better idea."
Old Lady Yang's eyes lit up as she listened to her granddaughter's methodical analysis. She slapped her thigh hard.
He responded excitedly, "Great! Then let's do as Xiaocao said, and find a suitable time to ask Xingyun and Huaming. I think these three girls are about the same age as our Da Mao and the others, so they are a good match. As for Simao, he is still young, so we can wait and ignore him for now."
Mrs. Li on the side nodded repeatedly, expressing her agreement with Old Lady Yang's opinion: "Yeah, that's right, let's not look at other girls for now. If we see too many, we will be dazzled and won't be able to pick a good one."
Old Lady Yang and Li were mainly thinking: since their daughters think these girls are good, then their personalities and characters must be good. And since they can get along well with our little girl, the relationship between the sisters-in-law in the future should not be like that of other families where they dislike each other. "
The more Old Lady Yang and Mrs. Li thought about it, the more satisfied they felt, as if they had already seen the happy life their sons would live after they got married and started their own families. They couldn't help but smile with relief on their faces.
After saying this, Old Lady Yang and Li began to prepare to wash and go to bed. They walked into the room quietly and lit the oil lamp on the table. The dim light instantly illuminated the whole room.
Old Lady Yang slowly untied her hair and took off the hairpins one by one and put them aside; Li fetched a basin of warm water and gently wiped her face with a towel. After everything was ready, the two of them lay on the kang, pulled the quilt over their bodies, closed their eyes and gradually fell asleep.
Meanwhile, Xiao Caoer took advantage of the night to sit at her desk, spread out the letter paper, picked up the brush and dipped it in ink, and wrote a letter carefully. After she finished, she called her personal maid Miaoyin and told her, "Miaoyin, take this letter to Brother Xingyun tomorrow."
Miaoyin nodded, took the letter and put it in her arms, then turned around and went out to wash up and go to bed.
Early the next morning, sunlight shone through the window into the Yang family's yard.
The Yang family got up early and was busy. Except for Ermao who had not yet returned to the capital, everyone else was ready to go to the Zheng family. They drove out of the house slowly in a carriage, laughing and talking all the way.
Just as they were about to arrive at the Zheng Mansion, they suddenly saw a gorgeous carriage parked at the door. The door opened, and Qi Xingyun got out of the car gracefully.
It turned out that Qi Xingyun was having breakfast when he received the letter from Miaoyin. The letter came so early in the morning, and he thought something had happened.
After reading the contents of the letter, his heart finally settled down.
It turned out to be related to Damao's selection of wives. He shook his head slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he thought: "I didn't expect it to be about this, but it's interesting."
Afterwards, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, thought for a moment and decided that since he had no important matters to attend to today, he might as well go to visit Zheng's house together.
The Yang family had two reasons for this visit. First, Yang Dashan and Li had come to the capital from other places; second, they wanted to ask Lu about her sister Lu Ling'er.
Therefore, when everyone arrived at Zheng's house, the men moved to the front yard, while the women came to the back yard.
When Old Lady Yang and Li saw Mrs. Lu, they walked up to her impatiently, held her hands tightly, and asked expectantly, "Mrs. Huaming, we want to ask you, has your sister Ling'er found a marriage?"
As Mrs. Li and Old Lady Yang were talking, they were secretly thinking in their hearts that if Lu Linger was still unmarried, she might be able to have a happy marriage with Sanmao.
When Mrs. Lu heard this question, she was slightly stunned at first, but soon a look of joy appeared on her face.
After all, if someone is interested in your sister, it is undoubtedly a kind of affirmation, which means that your sister is indeed outstanding.
So, she quickly replied with a smile: "Aunts, my Ling'er is not engaged yet!" After that, her eyes moved back and forth between Old Lady Yang and Li, as if she was guessing what they were thinking.
