When Li Zixuan got married, Mrs. Li, as her biological aunt, had to go to the wedding party in person.

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Li took several girls from the Yan family and Yang Xiujun boarded a carriage to the provincial capital. Yan Zhigao had to go to the Yamen and couldn't leave, so Yan Wenxiu stepped in.

In the carriage, Mrs. Li looked at her daughter who was writing and drawing on the coffee table and asked: "Didn't you take good care of that girl Xiujun before? Why didn't you ask her to get on our carriage just now?"

Daohua put down the gold pen in her hand and was silent for a moment: "My daughter found that cousin Xiujun and I really can't talk to each other. I'm afraid that my unintentional words will cause her to have random thoughts. It's boring.

, it’s better to stay far away.”

After rejecting Yang Xiujun's request yesterday, she didn't show anything, but during lunch and dinner, Yang Xiujun seemed to be avoiding her, causing her grandmother to look at them several times, and even asked her in private,

Did you have a conflict with Yang Xiujun?

This made her feel very uncomfortable!

Mrs. Li looked at her daughter, thinking of Xiujun's usual behavior, and sighed: "Your aunt's life in the Yang family was difficult, and Xiujun was raised to be a little petty and short-sighted."

More than once, she saw Xiujun looking at her daughter with envious eyes, and sometimes speaking with a sour tone.

"After the Zhou family's happy event, she and your aunt will return to Beijing with your elder brother. In the meantime, for the sake of the old lady, you have to save your face."

Daohua: "Mom, I know. There's nothing wrong with me. I just don't want to be with cousin Xiujun all the time. Otherwise, I would have to worry about finding something to say, and I would have to consider whether it would offend her sensitivity when I speak.

My nerves are so tired."

Mrs. Li naturally would not embarrass her daughter. She didn’t say anything more and just said: “When you arrive at your uncle’s house, you have to keep an eye on Xiujun and Yihuan.”

Daohua nodded and continued to write on the paper.

Mrs. Li stretched her head and looked: "What are you doing?"

Daohua didn't even raise his head: "Spring plowing is about to begin, and I'm planning what to plant in my fields."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li's brows became more proud and gratified. Her daughter has these assets at such a young age, and the family cannot help in the slightest: "It is necessary to plan carefully, these will be your dowry in the future."

Whether a woman lives well in her husband's family depends not only on whether her family is capable, but also on the amount of dowry.

This time, Daohua rarely changed the topic, but took the initiative to ask: "Mom, although I have some shops and fields, compared with other noble ladies, I am still far behind, right?"

Mrs. Li suppressed the smile on her face and touched her daughter's hair: "Daughters from high-ranking families usually start saving dowries from birth, and they will naturally be quite spectacular when they get married."

"Our family's background is too low and we have only been together for a few years. But don't worry, I have asked your two uncles to help me. I have also accumulated some things such as jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and precious wood. I usually encounter anything good.

The things have also been put away for you. When you get married in the future, I will definitely prepare a good dowry for you."

Daohua: "Mom, you don't have to prepare anything for me. Just take care of my two brothers. I will save my dowry myself."

Mrs. Li nodded her forehead: "What nonsense are you talking about? With your two brothers, you will naturally be there. If you can save things, that's your ability. It has nothing to do with the family."

Daohua was silent for a moment: "Mom, how are you preparing for eldest brother's betrothal gift? The Han family is an earl's family, so the things we give shouldn't be too shabby, right?"

Mrs. Li didn't care much about it: "Second Master Han and Young Master Han have lived in our house for a long time. They all know what is going on in our family. Besides, this marriage was announced by the Han family first, and we are not rushing it."

I beg you, how capable you are of doing great things, your family won’t deliberately try to put their face down, but they won’t try to make someone look fat either.”

Seeing Mrs. Li's confident look, Daohua stopped talking.

This is the difference between marrying a wife and marrying a daughter.

When you marry a daughter-in-law, you marry a girl from another family to serve others. The man must have more confidence. When marrying a daughter, you marry a girl from another family to serve others. For the sake of her daughter’s well-being, the woman must have more confidence.

There is no need to be condescending.

While we were talking, the pier arrived.

Everyone abandoned their carriages and boarded the ship, and arrived at the provincial capital pier just before noon.

Because the Lantern Festival was approaching, the pier was particularly lively, with many ships coming and going. It took a long time for Daohua and the others to get their boat to dock.

"There are many people outside, you girls should put on your hats." Mrs. Li warned Daohua and Yan Yihuan, and then looked at Yan Wenxiu and others, "Protect your sisters and don't let them go."

They were hit."

Yan Wenkai said loudly: "Mom, don't worry as my third brother and I are here."

Mrs. Li glanced at her youngest son with a smile, then took Daohua, who had put on her curtain hat, and got off the boat.

There were many carriages on the shore, some coming to pick up people and some to see them off. However, the steward sent by the Li family to pick them up quickly found them and led them to where the Li family's carriage was parked.

......

More than half an hour later, Li Mansion arrived.

Because it was noon, everyone greeted each other and went to the dining room for lunch.

After dinner, sisters Li Zixuan and Li Zixin led Daohua and Yang Xiujun to their yard.

After seeing Li Zixuan's cheerfully decorated new house, Yan Yihuan and others looked around curiously, looking here and there.

Daohua laughed and said: "Is it so beautiful?"

Yan Yi said with a smile: "Our family hasn't had any happy events yet, so I couldn't help but take a second look."

Daohua: "After the eldest brother comes to Beijing to present the appointment and discuss the wedding date with the Han family, our family will also have a happy event."

Yan Yile answered: "Yes, we will take turns. After the eldest brother, he will be the second brother, and after the second brother, he will be the third brother. In the future, our family will have an endless stream of happy events."

Li Zixin walked over, pulled Yan Yile and said with a smile, "Isn't that right? When the brothers finish their work, it will be your turn."

Yan Yile saw Li Zixin making fun of her, so she immediately stopped and chased her to beat her.

The others watched and laughed non-stop.

At this moment, a maid came over and blessed Daohua and the others.

Li Zixuan asked: "What's going on?"

The maid replied: "Back to Miss Yan, Madam asked me to come over and deliver the invitation to Miss Yan." After saying that, she handed the invitation in her hand to Daohua.

"Mine?"

Daohua took the invitation, opened it quickly, and then laughed: "It's Yuan Yao who invites us to attend a meeting at their house tomorrow."

Li Zixin quickly asked: "Shall we go too?"

Daohua nodded: "Yes, everyone is together."

Li Zixin immediately became happy: "That's great. Apart from my uncle's house, I have never been to any other official mansion, especially a second-grade mansion."

Li Zixuan smiled and signaled to the maid that she could go down.

Who knows, the maid is still looking at the rice flowers.

Daohua raised her eyebrows: "Is there anything else?"

Maid: "The maid who sent the invitation said she wanted to meet the girl."

Daohua glanced at Li Zixuan and others: "That's okay, I'll go take a look."

Li Zixuan: "Shall we accompany you?"

Daohua shook her head: "No need, I'll be back as soon as I go. It'll be quick. You go prepare tea and I'll eat it when I get back."
