Chapter 361 Let’s Talk About Marriage
"Of course, I won't be polite to my brother." Qian Duoduo said playfully.
"Of course. If you are polite to me, I will be angry. Then I will complain to my mother and say that you treat me as an outsider."
Qian Duoduo looked at the elder brother in front of her. She remembered that this elder brother was a gentleman with a dignified temperament.
"Brother, you have changed. You are no longer the elegant, dignified, mature and steady handsome man in my heart." After Qian Duoduo said this, he covered his heart with his right hand to show that he was hurt.
"What a coincidence, sister, you are no longer the well-behaved and lovely beauty in your brother's heart."
Qian Duoduo opened his eyes wide and looked at Yang Chuming in disbelief, then looked at Madam Yang and Father Yang aggrievedly, as if he was accusing himself of being bullied with his eyes...
"Alright, alright, haha, stop making trouble. It's rare that we're all together today, let's have dinner together tonight."
Mrs. Yang was delighted to see the two siblings making such a fuss. Needless to say, the second son was a noisy person.
But the eldest son has been a steady person since he was young. Sometimes she even feels that he is too steady and looks like an old man.
However, ever since he found his sister, the occasional playfulness made him look a little younger.
"Master, don't go out today. It's a rare time when Xin'er comes back, so you can take a rest. Let's have dinner together today."
"Haha, okay, I won't go out today."
......
When Yang Chuyi heard that Yang Chuming had returned and had gone to Madam Yang's place, she packed up and hurried over, and the maid couldn't stop her.
"Mother, has Chu Yi's marriage been decided?"
When Qian Duoduo heard that Yang Chuyi's marriage was going to be discussed, he didn't know if it was okay for him to stay here and wanted to get up and leave.
Mrs. Yang saw Qian Duoduo was about to stand up, clapped her hands and said:
"Sit down, it's okay. Although the emperor has granted you a marriage, Chu Yi is your elder sister. According to etiquette, she should marry first."
"The marriage has not been decided yet. Your mother showed her some dates before, but she didn't like any of them.
These are all carefully selected by me from among the new nobles in the court. Alas, it is a pity that I don’t know what is in my heart…”
As an uncle, it was not easy for him to talk about his niece's feelings, so he sighed before he finished speaking.
Qian Duoduo didn't dare to express any opinions. He lowered his head and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible when they were discussing the issue.
Because she knew that no matter who the final choice was, she would be officially matched with Huangfu Yucheng.
But I guess there were some unpleasant things going on before, so this matter is not going smoothly.
"It's not right for us to talk about this. Logically, only the man can come to us to talk about this kind of thing. We can't go to the man.
This will easily make the man look down on you." Yang Chuming said earnestly.
As he spoke, he frowned slightly, a hint of worry and concern on his face.
According to traditional concepts, the man should take the initiative to express his feelings and sincerity to the woman's family, rather than the woman's family taking the initiative.
If the woman is too eager or proactive, the man may think that she is not reserved enough or does not know how to respect traditional etiquette, which may have an adverse effect.
"I noticed that Madam Huangfu didn't like Chu Yi very much. I had wanted to find some time to have a good talk with her during the banquet, but I didn't expect that the imperial decree granting marriage to Xin'er and the Fourth Prince came down first.
I'll find a time and a middleman to test the waters again." This sentence seemed to be spoken to Lord Yang, but also seemed to be spoken to himself.
But no one responded after Mrs. Yang finished speaking, and the room suddenly fell into unusual silence. Qian Duoduo quietly raised his eyes and looked at the three people. Everyone's expression was not particularly good, and they all looked solemn.
What Qian Duoduo didn't know was that, at the very beginning, Madam Yang had actually had a conversation with Madam Huangfu, but at that time, because she had already agreed to marry the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Yang Chuyi could only be a concubine.
Of course the Yang family disagreed, so the matter was left unresolved.
Of course, Mrs. Yang did not tell Yang Chuyi for fear of hurting her feelings.
Yang Chuyi had come to Madam Yang's place happily. The maid outside the courtyard saw that it was the young lady and did not politely inform her, but just walked in front to lead the way.
When they were almost there, she asked the maid to leave.
Just as Yang Chuyi was about to knock on the door, she heard Mrs. Yang's words. She instantly realized that her cousin should be here too.
Although she was a little unhappy, she had no intention of leaving.
But when she heard her elder brother asking about her marriage, she stopped, put down her hand that was knocking on the door, and gently took two steps back.
Of course, she was not satisfied with the people chosen for her by Madam Yang. Not to mention their character, she was not very satisfied with their appearance and family background.
Moreover, she already has someone in her heart, and she likes Huangfu Yucheng.
She said she would never marry unless she found a man better than him.
Listening to the conversation in the room, Yang Chuyi was even more shocked that no one in the family supported her.
Do they all think that they can only be worthy of a man who has no reputation, no family background, and nothing?
Yes, in Yang Chuyi’s eyes, people who are not as good as Huangfu Yucheng are people who have nothing.
She couldn't bear it anymore and left angrily.
The head maid in Madam Yang's courtyard saw Yang Chuyi leaving but didn't think much about it. She just thought she had said goodbye and left.
"Oh, this child, I don't know what's possessed him. Why does he like that?" Mrs. Yang said regretfully.
"Ming'er, she has always listened to you since she was little. You should try to persuade her when you have time."
"Mother, I'm afraid that won't work. After all, I'm a man, and it may not be appropriate for me to say these things." Yang Chuming didn't know why, but he refused immediately without even having time to think.
"Yeah, I didn't think it through. Xiner..." Qian Duoduo looked at Mrs. Yang in confusion, thinking to himself: You won't ask me to persuade her, right?
"Forget about her. After all, she just came back and it is not appropriate for her to be involved in this matter. Besides, her ideal match is the Fourth Prince, which will inevitably arouse suspicion and cause unnecessary misunderstandings." Lord Yang rejected it outright.
Qian Duoduo really wanted to give Lord Yang a thumbs up right away.
"You have to do this. No one else is suitable. Don't even think about asking the second brother and the others. They are even worse off." Lord Yang said disapprovingly.
"I know about this. I'll find a time to talk to Madam Huangfu first."
"That's all it can do."
After she left, Madam Yang told Qian Duoduo about her previous contact with the Huangfu family.
First, the Huangfu family doesn't think highly of Chu Yi, and second, Huangfu Yucheng doesn't seem like a responsible person.
All in all, he's like a dandy boy who has never grown up.
Everyone in the family hopes that Yang Chuyi can find a man who is kind to her, has good character, and is responsible.
Family background and the like are secondary. After all, with the Yang family around, they won't choose someone too bad.
Unfortunately, Yang Chuyi didn't hear any good words spoken to her.
