Wang Wenqiao naturally didn't want his daughter to fill in the room. After returning to the study, he ordered the book boy to call his eldest daughter.

Whether it was her appearance or temperament, Wang Youhan followed her biological mother Meng. Looking at the cold appearance of the sixteenth daughter, Wang Wenqiao couldn't help but recall the ferocious look of Meng's voice after the incident with the Meng family.

He lowered his eyes and picked up the tea and drank it, then suppressed the memories and said gently, "The New Year is coming soon. It's lively outside these days. Don't always study in the house, so go out to relax."

The graceful and graceful Wang Youhan lowered her eyes and replied respectfully and coldly, "Yes."

But she was not as calm as she looked. Her grandfather's family was ruined, her uncle's family went to the frontier, her cousin died, and her family had broken off contact with the Wang family. She and her sister couldn't receive invitations, where would they go to relax? Now that the stepmother is in charge of the gifts, she and her sister have been cut in monthly fees to only buy rouge and powder. What should they do in the market? Is it laughing at their old clothes and old jewelry on their heads?

After a while, Wang Wenqiao came back to his senses and broke his silence, "Tomorrow your cousin is buried, and you and Xin'er and your mother go to Lizhengfang to see her for the last time. If Yuan Xue is willing, he will take her back and stay for a few days."

My father finally said something useful, and Wang Youhan's voice also became a little warm, but it was still the same word: "Yes."

Wang Wenqiao looked up at his seemingly obedient daughter and asked, "Are you still blaming your father?"

"Didn't have a daughter?" Wang Youhan raised her eyes and looked at her father, "If you hadn't made a quick decision, your daughter and sister would have been a piece of loess. I dare not forget my father's rebirth, so how could you blame you?"

Wang Wenqiao was moved, and he advised his daughter, "It is up to your uncle to mediate our lives. Your grandfather and uncle are responsible for their own faults, and they cannot blame the Jiang family. My father does not advise you and Yan'er to be as good as they were when they were childhood, but they cannot be like enemies. The Jiang family is kind to us."

Does she want to become enemies with Jiang Muyan? It is obvious that Jiang Muyan looks down on her and doesn't want to be with her! Wang Youhan lowered her eyes and said respectfully, "My daughter keeps her father's teachings in mind and will live in harmony with her cousin in the future."

Seeing that his daughter grew up and became sensible, Wang Wenqiao wanted to say a few more words, "You will reach the age of marriage next year. There is a scholar named Du Mingxin of Hanxi Academy. He is a scholar at the age of thirteen. He has excellent knowledge and character. He chose a date for his father to take him home. You can meet him too. If you think it is appropriate, you can make the marriage..."

Wang Youhan interrupted his father, "Father, what is this family background?"

Wang Wenqiao introduced his daughter in detail to him, Du Mingxin, whom he had been planning to settle for a long time, "He is from Lanyang, Beijing, and his great-grandfather is a Jinshi. He has served as a county magistrate. His grandfather and father have studied and passed on his family. Although his family is not as rich as a family in Kang'an City, he is still wealthy..."

It was just that his ancestors had a scholar who was not as good as a small official family. The fire in Wang Youhan's eyes was immediately extinguished. After his father finished speaking, he said, "The person he likes is very good. However, my daughter thought it would be better to wait for his elder sister to come after the funeral."

By then, even if he entered the mansion, it had nothing to do with him. It would be better to keep such a good marriage for his sister. Wang Youhan turned around and walked out slowly.

...

"Sister, come here quickly, it's warm here." Before Jiang Liu finished reading the book, his sister came back, just in line with his brother's words, "Go early and come back early."

Seeing that Jiang Muyan was still sitting on the chair, she smiled with satisfaction. She took off her cloak and baked her hands next to the brazier before sitting down on the soft collapse next to her sister.

Jiang Liu handed the hand stove to her sister, then covered the silk cotton quilt on her legs, and then asked, "Is grandma's body okay?"

"Very good." The year my uncle was dismissed and was sent to the death, my grandmother was seriously ill and she coughed continuously last winter. After a year of recuperation, the coughing disease has subsided and people are more energetic. Jiang Muyan warmed her hands for a while, pinched the peeled pumpkin seeds from the plate and ate a few pieces, and then whispered, "I looked coldly. Mrs. Liu seemed to want her second cousin to fill in the room for her eldest cousin's brother-in-law."

No! What's the matter with the unmarried daughter who was sent to fill in the house! Jiang Liu was really shocked, "My second uncle won't let her do anything."

Jiang Ling, who was peeling melon seeds, said, "If Wang Youhan wants to enter the Zhang family, her second uncle can't stop him."

Does Wang Youhan want to go? Jiang Liu put down the book and looked at his sister.

Jiang Muyan whispered, "Liu mentioned that Yuan Xue had lost her mother at such a young age, and said that she could not hold her cousin's dowry. I know she said this to me. At that time, the second cousin and the third cousin were present, and the second cousin should also understand what Liu said. She did not show her unhappy look, and I guess she was willing to do so."

My sister is extremely sensitive in this regard. She said that Wang Youhan has, but she is almost inseparable. Wang Youhan is really... Jiang Liu was about to sigh, but when she thought that her sister said she couldn't sigh at the end of the year, she held it back.

After eating too much melon seeds, Jiang Ling brought a plate of small oranges from the table and placed them on the small table beside his third sister and sister, and then asked, "What kind of family is there now that Wang Youhan is a matchmaker?"

While peeling oranges, Jiang Muyan analyzed, "By using "Tracing the Origin of Famous Masters of Small Seals" written with her uncle, my second uncle got a job at Hanxi Academy. His reputation has gradually improved in the past two years and has been highly praised by teachers and students of Hanxi Academy. My second cousin looks outstanding, and he is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although the Wang family is not as good as the previous years, the second cousin's dowry is not much worse than that of the eldest cousin. However, even so, because of her biological mother, the second cousin cannot enter a serious official family and can only marry into a wealthy farming family."

Jiang Liu ate the orange given by his sister and asserted, "My second cousin must be unwilling to give up."

Jiang Muyan nodded. Zhang Xupu's father was the editor of Hanlin. He lost his wife and had no legitimate son. If Wang Youhan could fill up a house for Zhang Xupu under the name of taking care of his elder sister, it would be legitimate. Once she gave birth to a son for Zhang Xupu, she would be able to gain a foothold in the Zhang family, which would be much more glorious than marrying and studying as a wife. However, "The Zhang family may not be able to look down on the second cousin."

Jiang Liu nodded, "We can't control why they are trying hard, just don't mess with us."

Jiang Ling raised his eyes and said, "Tomorrow, the Zhang family will have a funeral. My elder brother and I will go there, and my third sister will take care of Liu'er at home."

Wang Youying's parents-in-law are still alive, and the funeral will not be held big, but the Zhang family and the Wang family both sent the funeral to the Jiang family. The Jiang family should have sent someone to the day Wang Youying was buried.

Jiang Dalang represented the Jiang family's eldest house, and was invited by the uncle and Zhang Kairun to work in the Hanlin Academy; Jiang Ling represented the second house of the Jiang family, and was invited by the Wang family. They went there, and no one could find any fault. Jiang Ling would not enter the inner house of the Zhang family when he went there. No matter what Liu and Wang Youhan had planned, they could not and dared not involve him. After thinking about this, Jiang Muyan felt that Jiang Ling was the most suitable to go there. She reminded, "You go over and stand and come back early."

Jiang Ling replied, "When I came back, I walked to Yumen Bridge and bought some sour and sour duck necks. What else do you want to eat?"

Is it wrong for them to eat duck necks when the eldest cousin was just buried? Before Jiang Muyan could speak, Jiang Mujin rushed in like a shell and said, "Brother Ling, my brother-in-law is here again, it's your turn to get on!"
