Back in Yan Mansion, Daohua went to Songhe Courtyard with Yan Wenkai and Su Shiyu. After meeting the elders in the family and Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Su who were guests, she returned to her courtyard.

"Isn't Yuan Yao here with me?"

As soon as she returned to the yard, Daohua asked Gu Yu, who was directing the little maid to sweep.

Guyu smiled and replied: "Here, Miss Dong seems a little tired and is resting on the girl's bed."

Daohua nodded and quickly entered the room.

At this moment, Dong Yuanyao was lying lazily on the bed of rice flowers. Although she was holding a storybook in her hand, she was distracted and the storybook was also upside down.

When Daohua saw it, she walked over with a smile and took away the storybook in her hand: "What are you thinking about, so fascinated?"

Dong Yuanyao was startled at first, and then when she saw it was Daohua, she smiled and said: "It's nothing." After saying that, she snatched the script back.

Daohua did not continue to fight with her, but stretched out her hand to feel the temperature of her forehead.

Dong Yuanyao smiled and said: "When Bishi came back, he made ginger soup for me according to your instructions. I drank a big bowl and I won't catch a cold."

Seeing that Dong Yuanyao was not feverish, Daohua withdrew her hand: "You fell into the water today, so you still have to be more careful." She said with a smile, "You really should have gone to Liulipu with us today. Sister Su got a lot of bad things."

It’s a nice piece of colored glaze.”

Dong Yuanyao shook his head: "Brother Yan is going to pick out a gift for Shiyu. What's the point of me going there?"

Seeing that Dong Yuanyao was not in high spirits, Daohua pulled the pillow and lay down. After a moment of silence, she asked, "I didn't scare you today, did I?"

Dong Yuanyao shook his head: "I was a little scared at the time, but now that I think about it, it's okay." As he said that, he lay down next to Daohua, "Yi Yi, do you think it's strange? Why do I always look like this every time I meet Sun Changze?"

Will some accidents happen?"

Daohua recalled the several meetings between Dong Yuanyao and Sun Changze, and said with a smile: "If you didn't tell me, I didn't think so, but now that I think about it, it's really like this."

Dong Yuanyao was silent for a while: "Yiyi, Sun Changze has saved me three times. Once and twice can be said to be accidental coincidences. What about the three times? Do you think he and I are destined?"

Daohua pursed her lips and did not answer. She didn't know how to answer this.

If she said it was fate, she was afraid that Yuan Yao would become more interested in Sun Changze; if she said there was no fate, it would be a bit far-fetched.

Dong Yuanyao continued: "Yiyi, I feel like I did something wrong before. I shouldn't have said that to you and the young prince."

Daohua looked surprised and turned to look at her: "Huh?"

Dong Yuanyao looked at the tent: "When I saw that the young prince was so interested in you, I advised you to stay away from him. Now that I think about it, it really shouldn't be done. Emotional matters are often involuntary."

Daohua looked at Dong Yuanyao silently.

Is Yuan Yao trying to push others too far?

She is already so obsessed with Sun Changze?!

After a while, Daohua finally spoke: "I know, you are doing it for my own good."

Dong Yuanyao turned his head sharply and looked at Daohua: "Then are you worried? I can see that you are very concerned about the young prince now, but he will return to the capital one day. At that time, what have you thought about?

Should I do it?"

Daohua was silent for a long time: "My father's political achievements in the past two years are pretty good. I think it is very likely that my father will be transferred to the capital."

She had made contributions in gold mines, iron mines, and in cracking down on the Eight Kings delivering messages. Xiao Yeyang said that there was a small chance that this credit would fall on her, but it would benefit her father and brother.

Dong Yuanyao: "...but after entering the capital, the status gap between you and the young prince is still very big. What if the queen mother or the emperor in the palace wants to propose a marriage to the young prince?"

Daohua pursed her lips and said in a somewhat harsh tone: "This is Xiao Yeyang's business, let him settle it himself."

Dong Yuanyao was stunned for a moment: "Are you angry?"

Daohua shook her head: "I just think he has too many things."

Dong Yuanyao was silent, she felt as if she had let the young prince take the blame for no reason: "Everything has two sides. As a member of the royal family, with status, you will naturally have more shackles than others."

As he spoke, he sighed.

"The status is too low, which is not good either."

Daohua turned to look at her: "Are you talking about Sun Changze?"

Dong Yuanyao hesitated: "I quite like him."

Daohua thought for a while and said: "Yuan Yao, I think Sun Changze is pretty good. However, maybe this is just because we were attracted by his temperament that is different from that of a descendant of a noble family."

"It is always easy for people to develop a favorable impression of novel people and things in a short period of time."

"When you get along with people, especially those you have to face for a long time, you can't just rely on this short-term goodwill."

"Think about it, the difference between our lives and his is too big. It's not just the difference in status, but also the differences in living habits and thinking."

"When we have a good impression, we will ignore the shortcomings of the other person. We can tolerate some words and deeds that do not meet our cognitive standards, but what about after a long time?"

Dong Yuanyao was stunned for a moment, looking at the roof of the tent and not knowing what he was thinking.

Daohua looked at her and said no more.

The two lay on the bed for a while, and then Wang Maner came in and asked them to go to the old lady's yard for dinner.

The Dong family and the Su family stayed in Yan Mansion for one night, and were ready to return to the provincial capital the next day.

In front of the gate of Yan Mansion, Daohua followed Mrs. Li and said goodbye to everyone.

"Sister Su, Yuan Yao, if you have nothing to do in the future, you can come to Ningmen Mansion often to play!"

Hearing Daohua's words, Mrs. Dong immediately smiled and said: "Yi Yi, you can often come to the provincial capital to play in the future. Even if you can't live in our house, you can live in the Su family. We are all relatives anyway.

, and also cheap.”

Last night, the Yan family and the Su family exchanged engagement tokens. The marriage between the fourth son of the Yan family and the legitimate daughter of the third eldest son of the Su family has been settled. Now they are waiting for the son of the second eldest son to get engaged, and then they can call the official media to come and tell them.

Kissed.

As soon as these words came out, Daohua immediately said happily: "Okay, Aunt Su and Sister Su don't dislike me when the time comes."

Su Shiyu blushed with embarrassment, but Mrs. Su took Daohua's hand cordially and said, "If you can come, Shiyu will definitely sweep the bed to welcome you."

Everyone chatted for a while, and then Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Su took Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu into the carriage.

Watching the carriage go away, Mrs. Li smiled and returned to her house with Daohua.

Looking at Mrs. Li, who had a relaxed look on her face, Daohua smiled and said, "The matter between Fourth Brother and Sister Su has been settled, and mother is so happy?"

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Of course I am happy. Now that your two brothers have a happy marriage, I can finally feel half relieved." After saying that, she looked at the rice flowers and said, "Now there is only one left.

It’s yours.”

Daohua said quickly: "Mom, I'm not in a hurry."

Mrs. Li: "It doesn't matter whether you are in a hurry or not, just as long as Mom is in a hurry. Don't worry, Mom will definitely choose a marriage that suits your needs." After saying that, she walked towards the main courtyard.

Now that her youngest son's marriage has been decided, it's time for her to prepare the betrothal gift.

There is also time to start sorting out my daughter’s dowry.

Daohua hurriedly followed, saying repeatedly on the way that she was not in a hurry to find someone else.

......

At the same time, in the backyard of Zhu Jiaoyu's mansion in Xingzhou.

"Third sister-in-law, I beg you, Qiyun is your niece after all. For the sake of her dead father, please help her get a marriage from the Yan family."

When Mrs. Zhu saw that Mrs. Zhu was about to kneel down, she quickly stood up and stopped her: "What are you doing? If the clan members see it, they won't say that I bullied my widowed sister-in-law."

Mrs. Zhu Si quickly apologized: "I was too anxious, I didn't mean to..."

Mrs. Zhu waved her hand and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I know you didn't mean it." She said, frowning, "Do you really think the Yan family is a good place to go?"

"To tell you the truth, although the second wife of the Yan family is white and relies on her brother and sister-in-law to live, she has high standards. I have also inquired before that the second wife of the Yan family is from a family of fifth- and sixth-rank officials.

My girl, let alone Qiyun who broke off the engagement, even my Xiuyun may not be favored by others. You climbed up like this, didn't you mean to make people laugh?"

Mrs. Zhu Si’s face turned pale.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Zhu sighed: "I know you don't like Mrs. Zhizhou of Pingzhou, and I don't have a good impression of her. But after all, Zhizhou is a fifth-rank official. Qiyun married Zhizhou's son, and will treat Junhui the same way in the future.

It’s good, don’t just think about your daughter, you also have to think about your son’s future, right?”

Master Zhu Si's lips trembled: "But... the son of Zhizhou of Pingzhou is a fool. How can I bear Qiyun to marry such a person?"

Mrs. Zhu: "...There is nothing we can do about it. Who asked Qiyun to cancel the engagement? Now that she can marry into an official family, she is already a great blessing. Don't be picky.

”

Seeing that Mrs. Zhu Si couldn't stand still, Mrs. Zhu didn't want to say more. She stood up and said, "I have to deal with the household affairs. You can think about it here." After that, she left quickly.

After Mrs. Zhu left, Zhu Qiyun walked in and took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears on Mrs. Zhu's face: "Mom, this is my daughter's fate, she just has to live with it."

Looking at her daughter's pretending to be strong, Mrs. Zhu Si's heart felt like a knife. She was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up and ran straight to the front yard.

"Mom, where are you going?" Zhu Qiyun quickly chased after her.

Master Zhu Si stopped and looked at Zhu Qiyun: "Back then, your father helped your third uncle a lot. After your father died, my mother never opened her mouth to him, so I will beg him now."

Zhu Qiyun's face showed bitterness: "Mom, it's useless even if you go to ask Third Uncle. Didn't you listen to what Third Aunt said? Second Mrs. Yan has very high standards and they won't take a fancy to me."

Mrs. Zhu Si insisted on going: "Since the Yan family is doing a blind date for their children, then you have a chance. No matter whether you are chosen in the end or not, I have to give it a try. I can't really let you marry someone."

You're a fool."

Zhu Qiyun held on to Mrs. Zhu Si because she didn't want to see her mother begging for help everywhere for her sake.
