Chapter 635 High Demand
Yanfu.
"Mom, what happened to you in such a hurry to call me back?"
As soon as she came back, Daohua came to the main courtyard to see Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li signaled Pingtong to give the Dong family’s post to Daohua.
Daohua took the post and read it: "Uncle Dong wants to celebrate his birthday?"
Mrs. Li said: "This is the last year that Governor Dong will serve as an official in Zhongzhou. The Yongjia Marquis Mansion is in the capital to help him. He will definitely return to the capital next year. Therefore, he would like to take this opportunity to spend more time with him."
Let the officials from Zhongzhou gather together."
Daohua nodded. Yuan Yao often mentioned in her correspondence that their family has had many more gatherings than in previous years. She probably wanted to maintain relationships with each family before leaving.
After all, in the officialdom, multiple connections mean multiple paths, and the Dong family would definitely not want to cut off their connections here if they leave Zhongzhou.
Daohua asked: "Are Yihuan and the others going this time?"
Mrs. Li nodded: "Let's all go." The four girls in the family were getting older and it was time to get to know each other. Thinking of this, she smiled and waved to her daughter to sit next to her.
After Daohua sat down, Mrs. Li took her hand and said: "You will be pregnant next year, and you should consider some things. Tell your mother what kind of husband you want to find, so that she can help you look after it."
”
Daohua didn't expect Mrs. Li to say this suddenly, and smiled coquettishly. Just as she was about to change her mind, Mrs. Li interrupted her: "Don't say you don't want to, and don't say you don't know. This is your lifelong event.
If you don't tell Mom what you think, how can Mom find it for you? If Mom finds it for you according to her own ideas, will you be willing?"
Daohua quickly shook her head.
Mrs. Li smiled and continued: "Men should marry when they are young, and women should marry when they are young. This is the law of nature. Besides, you are telling your mother, not outsiders, what is there to be ashamed of?"
Daohua lowered her head and twisted her handkerchief. After a while, she said: "Mom, my daughter hasn't thought about this yet. Can you wait until I think about it before I tell you?"
Mrs. Li glared at Daohua: "Every time I talk to you about this, you just ramble on. Before, when you were young, my mother didn't force you, but now that you are older, I can't let you go."
The temper has come. If you don’t say anything, then the mother will find it for you according to her own ideas."
Seeing Mrs. Li's serious face, Daohua knew that she couldn't shirk this time. After pondering for a while, she stood up and said, "Okay, let me just tell you what kind of man I like."
"First, we must keep ourselves clean and not flirt with women. My husband can never have an affair with any other woman except me, whether it is a concubine or a maid."
"Second, you must be responsible and responsible. If something happens, you must be able to handle it and take it on."
"Third, you must be tolerant and understand me. You cannot force me to do things I don't like, let alone trap me in the back house."
"Fourth, if you can make money, you can support yourself and do your own thing even if you don't rely on your family."
"Fifth, take care of your own family. Don't let your parents do whatever they say. Don't let your parents interfere in your family's affairs at will. When your family makes things difficult for your daughter-in-law, know how to stand by your daughter-in-law unconditionally."
"Sixth, personality and appearance should be good, not too boring, not too glib, occasionally romantic and gentle..."
Daohua said a lot of pain in one breath.
Mrs. Li and Pingtong and Pingxiao were dumbfounded when they heard this.
If nothing else, the first one is almost impossible to achieve in a wealthy family.
Daohua turned around and saw Mrs. Li looking at her blankly, and smiled shyly: "Mom, my daughter has thought of so much for the time being. You can choose according to these few things first. I will think of other things in the future.
I’ll tell you again.”
Mrs. Li swallowed her saliva. She really didn't expect her daughter to have such high requirements for her future husband. She asked with some difficulty: "Do you have any other requirements?"
Daohua nodded and said matter-of-factly: "Of course, men are afraid of getting into the wrong career, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. Marrying a girl is related to her daughter's lifelong happiness, and she can't be careless, so she must choose carefully."
Mrs. Li coughed a few times: "...If I really do what you said, you might not be able to get married."
Daohua looked at Mrs. Li with trust in her face: "My daughter believes in mother, and mother can definitely help her find such a husband."
Mrs. Li stiffly twitched the corner of her mouth, feeling that her daughter was deliberately causing problems for her in order not to get engaged and married so early.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Li waved her hand to Daohua with a headache, indicating that she could leave.
When Daohua saw it, she immediately went out with a smile.
......
On September 20th, Mrs. Li took the four Daohua sisters to the provincial capital by boat.
When she came to the provincial capital this time, Mrs. Li took Daohua and the four of them to stay at Li's house. Early the next morning, she went to Dong's Mansion to attend the birthday banquet.
There were too many guests, and Mrs. Dong couldn't leave. It was Dong Yuanyao who picked up Mrs. Li and the others.
"Grandma, Mrs. Li and Yiyi are here."
Dong Yuanyao brought Daohua and his party to Mrs. Dong’s yard.
"Greetings to the old lady."
Mrs. Li smiled and stepped forward to salute. Mrs. Dong quickly called the person up.
Later, when it was Daohua's turn to salute, Daohua clearly felt that Mrs. Dong's attitude towards her was not as warm as before. She didn't know if it was her misunderstanding. She felt that when Mrs. Dong smiled at her, her smile was
It’s all a bit reluctant.
Not long after, Dong Yuanyao went out to receive guests. When the female relatives of each family were sitting together and chatting, they saw that Mrs. Dong was only joking with girls from other families and did not pay attention to herself. Daohua was sure that she was alienated by Mrs. Dong.
This made her a little confused, but when she saw Mrs. Dong next time and saw that Mrs. Dong treated her as usual, she put the matter behind her.
After lunch, Dong Yuanyao took Daohua and Yan Yihuan to the garden to eat, and met Dong Yuanxuan halfway.
Dong Yuanyao looked surprised: "Brother, why are you here?"
Daohua and Yan Yihuan were all shocked when they saw Dong Yuanxuan, who had lost a lot of weight.
Daohua asked with concern: "Brother Dong, what's wrong with you? Why are you so thin? Are you sick?"
Seeing the concern on Dao Hua's face, Dong Yuanxuan's heart began to ache again. He lowered his eyes to cover up the unspeakable emotion in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he forced a smile: "I'm fine. Thank you Sister Yan for your concern."
, casually picked up Mo Ju next to him, "There are guests who want to admire Mo Ju. I came to get it."
After saying that, he left quickly.
When they walked away, Daohua pulled Dong Yuanyao and asked, "What's wrong with Brother Dong?"
Dong Yuanyao whispered: "My brother is not satisfied with the marriage plan announced to him at home. He has been having trouble with my grandmother and the others in the past few months. He is depressed all day long, and the food is not good. He is so thin.
."
Daohua looked surprised: "Brother Dong is engaged? Which girl is she from?"
Dong Yuanyao: "The eldest daughter of the Zhaodehou family."
Daohua: "I am from the Hou family, so I am from the same family as yours."
Dong Yuanyao sighed: "It doesn't matter if we are well-matched, the key is that my brother doesn't like it."
Daohua felt a little sympathetic to Dong Yuanxuan. It was quite frustrating that she couldn't make the final decision in her own marriage. However, it was a family matter, so she didn't want to say much, so she talked about other things with Dong Yuanyao.
Dong Yuanyao: "Yiyi, when are you going back?"
Daohua: "In a couple of days, my third cousin is visiting me, and my aunt wants my mother to help me take a look."
Hearing this, Dong Yuanyao's face showed joy: "Then I will go and play with you tomorrow."
