    "Dinner is about to be served. Don't go back to the yard. You and mother will go to the old lady's yard later."

    Mrs. Li was sorting out the ornamental objects sent by the Li family and Xiao Yeyang, and selected some according to the old lady's preferences, preparing to send them over during dinner later.

    Daohua nodded, picked up the red date cake on the table and ate it leisurely. Thinking of her eldest brother's marriage mentioned in her grandmother's house before, she couldn't help but ask: "Mom, which house did you choose for your eldest brother?"  That girl? Do I know her?"

    Mrs. Li paused while selecting the object, shook her head and sighed: "I didn't like it."

    Daohua¡¯s eyes lit up and she said with a smile, ¡°Is it possible that the elder brother took the fancy himself?¡±

    Mrs. Li glared at her daughter: "What nonsense are you talking about! Marriage has always been the order of the parents and the matchmaker, so how can you do it yourself?"

    Daohua curled her lips and muttered: "What's wrong with my appearance? Maybe it's better than you messing around with mandarin ducks!"

    "What did you say?"

    Mrs. Li turned her head and looked over.

    Daohua quickly shook her head, pretending to be confused and said: "I didn't say anything!" Seeing the sullen look on Mrs. Li's face, she quickly changed the subject, "If it's not you who cares about me, then it's because of your father?"

    As he spoke, he frowned.

    "Mom, my father's vision of people is really not very good. You have to keep a close eye on your eldest brother. This is a matter of life for your eldest brother."

    Mrs. Li glanced sideways at her daughter: "You don't need to say this, but it's not yet certain whether the marriage will take place or not!"

    Daohua walked over and shook Mrs. Li's arm: "Mom, can you tell me which family the girl is from first? Maybe I can help too."

    Mrs. Li smiled and shook her head: "You can't help, that girl is from the capital."

    Daohua looked surprised. After a while, she shook her head and sighed: "I was right. My eldest brother went to the capital and brought you a daughter-in-law."

    "Which family is it from? When I have a chance, I'll ask Yuan Yao and Jing Wan. They know more about things in the capital than ours."

    Mrs. Li did not hide it from her daughter: "She is the second daughter of Earl Zhaode's family."

    Daohua was shocked: "A girl from the Earl's Mansion? How could such a family like ours?"

    It¡¯s not that she looks down on her own family, it¡¯s because in ancient times, it was important to marry well-matched people.

    Although the cheap father is now a fourth-grade prefect, he is not even the slightest bit different from those families with titles in the capital.

    "Is it possible that the girl from the Earl's Mansion family has a hidden disease?"

    In this era, the daughters of big families almost all want to marry, and the marriage naturally has to be profitable. Therefore, most women marry high in order to gain benefits for the family.

    There are some people who marry low, but definitely not many.

    Mrs. Li looked at her daughter angrily and nodded her head: "What are you thinking about all day long?"

    Daohua rubbed her forehead and muttered: "My daughter, this is a normal analysis. How could a pie fall from the sky for no reason? I naturally have to think more."

    Mrs. Li sighed: "The second girl of the Han family has no hidden disease. The Earl of Zhaode's Palace is interested in your eldest brother. First, your father won praise from the emperor when he reported his work; second, your eldest brother is as beautiful as a tree and knowledgeable.  It¡¯s great, so I naturally fell in love with it.¡±

    "Three The master told your father privately on Tuesday that the title of Earl Zhaode has reached its last term. Although there are people serving as officials in the court, most of them have low official positions and do not hold real power, so  , this marriage partner will naturally have to press down."

    Daohua frowned and said in confusion: "If this is the case, then why do we still want to marry their family?"

    Mrs. Li: "A dead camel is bigger than a horse. After all, Earl Zhaode's Mansion has been operating in the capital for several generations, so there must be some connections. Your father is in his prime, and he will most likely go to Beijing to serve as an official in the future. When he arrives in the capital,  , if there is no one to support you, how can you stand firm?¡±

    Daohua nodded: "Thendoes the eldest brother, the second girl of the Han family, like it?"

    Mrs. Li fell silent, and after a while, she spoke: "Your father said that he took a look at the second girl of the Han family from a distance, and she was beautiful and dignified."

    Daohua: "I'm not asking my father, I'm asking my eldest brother, does he like it?"

    Mrs. Li shook her head: "Mom also asked your eldest brother, but he lowered his head and said nothing, but he didn't object. He was probably ashamed."

    Daohua thought for a while: "Mother?When you propose marriage to your eldest brother, don't just consider the interests of the family. You must also consult your eldest brother. After all, your sister-in-law has to live with your eldest brother for the rest of your life.  "

    Mrs. Li immediately laughed: "You are just busy with nothing, how can I know this? Besides, the Han family only mentioned it. Although in this generation, the Earl's Mansion will be taken back, but  After all, it is a duke¡¯s family, so there are still requirements and conditions for choosing a son-in-law.¡±

    "Uncle Zhao De said that if your eldest brother can win the imperial examination this year, he will be willing to marry his precious daughter to our family."

    Daohua looked surprised: "Brother is going back to his hometown to take the scientific examination this year?"

    Mrs. Li nodded: "Your eldest brother has been studying at Wangyue Academy for three years, and his knowledge is much more solid than before. Your father and Master Xiao both said that it's time to take the exam."

    "If you win the election, you will get engaged. This is what mother and your father want to see."

    Daohua was speechless: "Then if the eldest brother fails to pass the exam, then we won't get married?"

    "boom!"

    Mrs. Li stared at Daohua and gave Daohua a slap on the forehead: "Have you ever said that about your brother?" She said with a certain tone, "Your eldest brother will definitely pass the examination."

    Daohua nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, mother said yes, the eldest brother will definitely be able to go to high school, but what my daughter means is that you and your father should not put too much pressure on the eldest brother."

    Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Don't worry, mother is sensible. Your father, since he was promoted to the prefect of Ningmen Prefecture, has been so busy that he probably doesn't have time to test his teachings or talk about your elder brother."

    Daohua nodded and asked casually: "Father is busy?"

    Mrs. Li glanced out the window: "Didn't you see that you haven't come back yet at this time?" She said, sighing, "I'm afraid your father won't be able to have dinner with us tonight."

    As he said that, he turned to look at Pingtong.

    "Tell the kitchen to cook two more dishes that the master likes to eat, and then simmer them until the master goes to work. They will be delicious."

    Pingtong nodded and said, "Yes." After saying that, he walked out of the main courtyard with a smile.

    Daohua asked: "Did your father's succession not go smoothly?"

    Mrs. Li shook her head: "That's not true. The main reason is that the situation in Ningmen Mansion is too complicated. There are refugees from Fenxi and Jiguang in many places."

    "Your father said that if we want to carry out major livelihood projects such as encouraging students to teach and farm mulberry trees, we must first eliminate these unstable public security factors. Otherwise, the people will not be able to work with peace of mind. Now, your father is trying to find ways to resettle those refugees.  It¡¯s here.¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
