Zhou Sishun would have had a headache if he heard his son wasn't very smart, but he was very relieved to hear what his son said.

Let’s not talk about whether the Lin family knows that San Ya has a dowry from her master, but the Qi family cannot hide it. The Qi family must know very well that the dowry is in San Ya’s hands.

Even if you are not very clear about what the dowries are, you should know a lot, but San Ya is San Ya and Da Jiang is Da Jiang, and they cannot be mixed up.

It would be more appropriate for his father Dajiang to say this, and the timing was just right. If you think the betrothal gift his family can offer is too meagre, you can only give up.

No matter how good the marriage is, if he starts to set his sights on San Ya's dowry before she even enters the house, he will inevitably also set his sights on the workshop. This will definitely not work.

"I was thinking of saying it out loud. My third sister and I are different. I am not called the Fourth Young Master, but I am the Fourth Young Master of the Zhou Mansion.

This can't be done wrong, lest expectations are too high and things go wrong later. After all, no matter how trustworthy Uncle Qi is, he is not alone.

He still has parents and brothers. Once the marriage is formed, what can I do to help the Qi family? If there are any difficulties, my third sister will be caught in the middle and be caught in the middle.

Having a powerful father-in-law is certainly a good thing, but the only one who can protect me sincerely and without asking for anything in return is my third sister. I don't want my third sister to suffer any more injustices.

Let's just let it go. Anyway, I've said it, just pretend you didn't hear me mention it, and let's see what they say when they get back."

Alas, it is because of his incompetence as a father. If he had a little ability to protect his children, they would not have been afraid to get married one after another...

"father?"

Zhou Sishun didn't have time to think about it. He reached out and patted his Dajiang's still thin shoulders. "If you just look at the girl, tell me the truth, what do you think?"

To be fair, Junior Sister Qi is not bad in appearance and temperament, she is gentle and intelligent. Such a person will make her life better no matter what situation she is in.

However, as the eldest son of such a noble daughter, can she bow her head and get along well with her parents-in-law, or should her parents-in-law bow their heads and praise their daughter-in-law?

Da Jiang shook his head, "'Don't look at what's inappropriate', it's not good to look at it too much, just listen to what she said, it should be good. Besides, it's her family background, it's not your son's turn to be picky."

"Isn't it exhausting to be a father's son?"

"What?" Dajiang almost thought he heard it wrong, and then he saw his father glaring at him, which made him laugh, "I have a kind father like you, why should I be tired?

Don’t you see how much my third brother-in-law respects you? If you are not nice, my third brother-in-law will always be my father-in-law. I, Lord Taishan, will call you and tell you not to be too fond of you.

If I accidentally said you were stingy again in front of him, he would definitely scold me. He always said that my siblings and I should be happy to have such a good father like you.

Not everyone can care about my siblings as much as you do, Dad. If someone else could marry Uncle Qi’s daughter, they would have sold me out long ago.

Only you, like my third brother-in-law, would hide such a big thing from my third sister, fearing that my third sister would choose me first and I would not know what I want without my own opinion. "

"You little brat." Zhou Sishun couldn't help but laugh. "This matter involves a girl's reputation. You must be extremely cautious and never spread it."

Speaking of this, Dajiang nodded seriously, "My son knows the importance of this matter."

Not to mention the daughters of wealthy families, even the girls in the village pay great attention to their reputation, otherwise it would not have been so smooth for his family to adopt her out.

Previously, his third sister had held a scandalous handle that was enough to bring shame to all the girls in the clan, so the clan leader did not dare to smooth things over and stood on his side. As the clan leader, he was afraid that his third sister was determined to vent her anger, and if she reported it to the police, it would spread all over the place, and even the married girls in the clan would be divorced and abandoned.

Besides, Uncle Master Qi was supported by the current emperor. Even if he doesn't get involved in the fight for the throne, his only daughter will definitely be watched by others.

Maybe among those who are watching, there are some who resent Uncle Qi for not cooperating and want to ruin Junior Sister Qi's reputation. There are all kinds of people like that in this world.

It's easy to imagine that the master was always worried that the third sister would not be willing to take over the dowry, but he still let her come to Beijing two years later. There must be something wrong in the capital.

If Uncle Qi hadn't been determined to stay out of it, or if he hadn't had to keep his only daughter away from the gossip in the capital, why would he have been interested in him instead of taking something far away?

For now, he should be the most suitable candidate. Like the third brother, ordinary people don't dare to plot against him easily, and the Gao family can stop them.

As for the third brother, it seems that he is going to marry his cousin from outside the Yangzhou Prefecture or the granddaughter of his master's family. There is no way that Mr. sir will give up his connections in Yangzhou Prefecture.

My third brother-in-law once mentioned that the main branch of the Zhou family was still in Yangzhou Prefecture, and Xiaohe was still young, so either my third brother or him had to marry into the family.

Otherwise, why would Uncle Qi, a legitimate daughter of the capital, want to marry off his only precious daughter to a mere scholar who is not even a child of a poor family...

Zhou Banxia didn't know that Dajiang had calmed down and had thought of the key point. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Hui Jie'er was the most suitable person.

Putting aside the Qi Mansion, the little girl is good-looking, has excellent manners, is generous and decent, and most importantly, she doesn't look down on others, which is so rare.

Well, she admitted that it was very difficult to find a sister-in-law who understood the etiquette of the rich and powerful and could handle the relationships in the harem.

If Dajiang marries Huijie, these will not be a problem at all. When Dajiang goes to Beijing in the future, he will have Uncle Qi as his backer, and her father will be guaranteed to win.

But then again, although there are many advantages to this marriage, it is Dajiang who is getting the wife, and it also depends on whether Dajiang likes Huijie herself.

Dajiang pays too much attention to his family's thoughts, so he can't act too hastily. Otherwise, if he sees that she likes the boy, he is very likely to ignore his personal preferences and hastily agree to the marriage.

"What? You're going back the day after tomorrow?"

Zhou Banxia was surprised, but as soon as he said it, he felt that he was making a fuss out of nothing.

It’s very close to New Year’s Eve, and people have already seen it. If we miss the Little New Year, how can we miss the family reunion on New Year’s Eve?

"The chief steward from the Gao Mansion in the capital has passed through the city and will arrive in the county this evening. Shopkeeper Wang will come with him to deliver the gifts to us before noon tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow I happen to be traveling with the chief steward of the Gao residence. They will stay in Zhoujia Village for one night before returning to Beijing, so your father plans to let Dajiang go to Zhoujia Village.

It just so happens that I have to take the annual exam, so I can go to the county school by myself. Dajiang hasn’t seen you for half a year, so if I have any questions, I can still ask you in person.”

The point is that whether it is academic or marriage, Dajiang can ask his uncle for advice in person, right? Zhou Banxia nodded in understanding, "That's fine."

What do you mean? It's your father's arrangement, Dajiang is happy with it, so why do you object? Gu Wenxuan laughed out loud and reached out to press his wife's head.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop, stop, I finally fixed my hair, but now even my hairpin is about to fall off." (End of this chapter)
