Chapter 538 Exploring the Wind
After Mrs. Su led Mrs. Li and Daohua back to the three-bedroom courtyard, she sat down for a while and then ordered the maid and mother-in-law to set the meal.
"This is the soup Shiyu made when he woke up early in the morning. How do you think it tastes?"
Mrs. Su personally served a bowl of soup to Mrs. Li, and Su Shiyu also served a bowl to Daohua.
After Mrs. Li took a sip, she couldn't help but praise: "Shiyu is such a clever girl. This soup tastes great."
The guest liked what her daughter made. Mrs. Su was happy and proud, but she still said modestly: "It's not as good as your Yiyi. I still have endless aftertaste of the pastries I ate at your house last time."

The two mothers praised each other's children, and the dinner table was in harmony.
After dinner, looking at Su Shiyu who was calmly assigning tasks to the servants, Mrs. Li said casually: "Shiyu is such a lovely girl. I wonder which boy will take advantage of her in the future?"
Mrs. Su's expression paused, but she quickly smiled and said: "There's no rush, I have to give Hongxin and Shiyu a good life. Besides, her brother hasn't gotten engaged yet, so this girl
Even more so in the future."
Mrs. Li nodded in agreement: "Marriage is a major matter that affects the life of the child. It must be carefully chosen. My family has been busy for a long time with the eldest son's marriage. Now that the eldest son's marriage has been decided, we have to
You really don’t have a moment to worry about your young son.”
Mrs. Su smiled and did not express any opinion. She just followed Mrs. Li's words and praised her: "I have seen that child Wen Kai before. He looks like a decent person. Why don't you worry about not being able to find a daughter-in-law you like?
”
Mrs. Li shook her head and sighed: "It's so easy to find something that suits your liking. If everyone was like your poems, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
Hearing this, Mrs. Su's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't answer. She just said vaguely: "You are too generous."
Seeing that Mrs. Su was not warm at all, Mrs. Li understood her attitude. Fortunately, she was mentally prepared and was not disappointed. She pondered for a moment and then continued with a smile.
"My Wen Kai is the youngest son. I also know that with his conditions, he can't stand up to people with a better family background. However, in order for my son to have a good marriage, I have discussed it with my father. As long as
If the future daughter-in-law can give birth to a grandson before the age of thirty, Wen Kai will not be allowed to take concubines."
After hearing this, Mrs. Su raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Li and said in surprise: "You will never take concubines in your life?"
Mrs. Li nodded: "Yes."
Mrs. Su was silent. She had to admit that the fact that she did not take concubines had successfully persuaded her and made her a little moved.
When a daughter gets married, what she worries most about is marrying someone who is not a good person and being punished by her husband’s family.
When the husband's character is passable, there are two main sources of grievance for a woman after she gets married. One is the mother-in-law making things difficult, and the other is the concubines causing trouble.
These two problems are hurdles that almost every woman has to go through.
Her daughter has already reached puberty, and she started looking for a future son-in-law two years ago, but unfortunately, she has never found one she likes.
Either the family background is good, but the character is not good; or the character is good, but the family has a lot of troubles; the third is the family background, the character is passable, but the ability is not good, and there is no future.
I have watched it before and after, but there are always some flaws and shortcomings.
Before this, the Yan family was not within her consideration.
She knows the situation of the Yan family, and also has some understanding of the Yan Li family. She is a sensible person. As a mother-in-law, even if such a person cannot treat her daughter-in-law as a daughter, she will never do anything to deliberately make things difficult for her daughter-in-law.
Yan Wenkai is good in all aspects. If he really doesn't take concubines in his life, then marrying into the Yan family is really something that can be considered.
It's just that... the Yan family's family status is still a bit low, and Yan Wenkai is still the youngest son. He will not inherit any family property in the future, and he will have to work hard on his own.
Seeing that Mrs. Su was deep in thought, Mrs. Li didn't say anything more, picked up the tea and tasted it slowly.
At the same time, Daohua in the garden was more straightforward: "Sister Su, what do you think of my fourth brother?"
Su Shiyu was stunned for a while when asked, and then she said shyly for a while: "Brother Yan... is a very nice person."
Seeing her like this, Daohua felt confident and said with a smile: "My eldest brother is already engaged, and my mother seems to be looking for a wife for my fourth brother."
Su Shiyu's heart tightened, she smiled a little forcedly, wrung her handkerchief and said, "Really? Is there someone you like?"
Daohua shook her head, looked at Su Shiyu and said, "My mother is not there yet, but my brother has someone he likes."
Hearing this, Su Shiyu's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she stared at the rice flowers with wide eyes.
Daohua took Su Shiyu's hand: "Sister Su, what do you think of my fourth brother?"
Su Shiyu's face turned red and she turned away from Daohua: "I don't understand what you mean."
Daohua was silent: "Do you like my fourth brother and are you willing to marry him?"
Su Shiyu blushed at Daohua's frankness, biting her lip and saying nothing.
Daohua: "...Sister Su, with our relationship, you don't have to be ashamed at all. If you like it, you just like it, and if you don't like it, you don't like it."
Su Shiyu looked at the rice flowers, but still didn't speak.
Daohua didn't insist on her expressing her position, but just said to her: "Sister Su, after I returned home on the Lantern Festival, my fourth brother asked my mother to come to your house to propose marriage. Today we are here just to hear from you. If you think that my fourth brother
Brother, it’s okay. I can rely on you. When Mrs. Su asks for your opinion, you can express your attitude.”
Su Shiyu was startled: "Did fourth brother Yan ask his aunt to propose marriage?"
Daohua nodded.
When Su Shiyu saw it, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
......
In the middle of the afternoon, Mrs. Li took Daohua and left Su Mansion.

On the way back to Li Mansion, Daohua sat in the carriage and looked at the scenery on the street. She accidentally saw Sun Changze coming out of the shop and immediately asked someone to stop the car.
Mrs. Li: "What's wrong?"
Daohua put on her curtain hat and said, "Mom, I saw a friend, so I went down to say hello. His family goes back and forth doing business, and I want him to bring me something."
Mrs. Li also stopped her: "Go back quickly."
Daohua quickly got off the carriage and saw that Sun Changze and others had walked some distance away, so she quickly ran after him.
"Sun Changze."
Sun Changze, who was talking to his clan brother, heard someone calling him, so he turned around and saw a girl wearing a curtain hat. He was a little surprised, but when he saw Wang Man'er, he immediately knew who was calling him.
Him.
"Miss Yan."
Daohua walked in and asked with a smile: "Have your injuries healed?"
Sun Changze said with a smile: "It's nothing serious. It'll be fine in just two days. Miss Yan, do you want to see me if you have anything to do?"
Daohua nodded: "I heard from Xiao Yeyang that your family is going to sell goods in the north in the near future?"
Sun Changze nodded: "Not bad."
Daohua: "I have read some regional chronicles of the north, and they all mentioned that there are many foreigners in the north?"
Sun Changze: "Yes, there is a city on the western border of the north that is dedicated to foreign trade goods. Many foreigners often go there."
Daohua immediately asked: "Are you going this time?"
Sun Changze pondered for a moment: "It depends on the time. If you have plenty of time, you may go over and take a look. There are still many good things in the hands of foreigners. If you are lucky, you can make a lot of money by bringing them back and selling them."

Daohua: "Can I hire you?"
Sun Changze looked at Daohua: "Miss Yan, do you have anything to buy? Just tell me and I will run for you."
Daohua: "I don't have anything I want to buy. I just like to collect vegetables, fruits and seeds from foreigners. I want to buy them back and try to see if I can grow them myself."
Sun Changze: "So that's it. Okay, I'll go there this time. However, I can't guarantee that I can buy what you want. After all, the northern border has been unstable in recent years and many foreigners are unwilling to come."<
/p>
Daohua smiled and said: "Thank you very much." After saying that, she took out a few banknotes from her purse and handed them to Sun Changze.
Sun Changze shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, I can't accept your banknote..."
The rice flower was placed directly into his hand: "I'd be very grateful if you could help me take a look. I should pay for the travel expenses."
Sun Changze couldn't return the banknote, so he could only say: "Then I'll use it to buy you something."
Daohua shook her head: "You don't need to buy too much, as long as you bring me some of each kind."
Sun Changze nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
After agreeing with Sun Changze, Daohua returned to the carriage.
Half an hour later, Mrs. Li and Daohua returned to Li Mansion.
