Chapter 302 Recognize the current situation
"I've met the old lady." Zhong Mianmian solemnly blessed Mrs. Li with a blessing gift.

Li looked at the young lady in front of her, always feeling uncomfortable and a little inferior, "No, no, the girl is too polite."

Yang Santie said carelessly: "Sister Mianmian, Sizhuang and I have to go back to class. Please help us send grandma out. We will discuss the rice paper later. Sorry for bothering you."

Zhong Mianmian was angry and funny, and rolled her eyes beautifully, "That's what I said! Since we are aunt's family, I, Zhong Mianmian, will definitely protect you. You can go back. If you need anything, ask the servant to come over and say, take care of yourself. Wait. Good news for you.”

"Definitely!" The two brothers bowed and left.

Zhong Mianmian also led Mrs. Li outside the academy, "Is this your first time in Fucheng, Madam?"

Li nodded, a little absent-mindedly.

Zhong Mianmian said enthusiastically: "If this is your first time here, you should try the pastries from Xu's pastry shop near Quzhou Academy. I will take you around."

Li originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Zhong Mianmian's enthusiasm, she was afraid that refusing would appear stingy, so she had no choice but to agree.

Mrs. Zhou was busy in the shop. When she saw a customer coming, she hurriedly said hello, but she didn't expect that it was Mr. Li.

"My dear old lady, why are you here?"

Mrs. Li walked around the counter and came out to greet her.

Zhong Mianmian saw that they knew each other and seemed to want to reminisce about old times, so he politely bought some peach cakes and other snacks from Mrs. Zhou, and bought another one for Mrs. Li before leaving.

As soon as Zhong Mianmian left, Mrs. Zhou immediately chased Mrs. Li and asked, "Why is the old lady here with the eldest lady of the Zhong family? Just now I thought I was dazzled!"

When Mrs. Li saw that Mrs. Zhou knew Zhong Mianmian, she immediately asked, "Does she often come to you to buy things?"

Madam Zhou shook her head, "That's not the case. It's just that Miss Zhong often goes to Dongli Villa to look for triathlons. After going back and forth, she became very familiar with my family's promise. What? The old lady doesn't like Miss Zhong?"

Mrs. Zhou was very surprised when she saw something was wrong with Mrs. Li's face. Miss Zhong was famous for her noble status and approachability. She never carried anything. Even when she went to the academy to deliver things to her son, people would take the initiative to talk to her if they happened to meet her. Say hello, she is the only one who has seen such a kind lady.

Mrs. Li sighed, feeling a little awkward, "Not really, I just feel that she is a high-ranking lady from a rich family, and we, a small family, can't reach that high level."

Madam Zhou was stunned for a while after hearing this, "Old lady, your family is not a small family! My mother-in-law has been made a marquis by the emperor, and we in Quzhou Mansion will never find anyone with a more noble status than her! Don't You belittle yourself!”

Li choked up and sighed again, "The old lady's daughter-in-law has made such great strides in recent years. I, the old lady, can't keep up. I don't know what kind of wife the Three Irons and Four Villages will marry in the future."

Madam Zhou said without thinking: "If you want to marry, of course you have to be like Miss Zhong, a good match."

Ms. Li was not very happy, "I have a rich family that has been built up by generations of ancestors, and I have the confidence to speak and do things. I am a rich man who came from a humble background and became a monk halfway. It is not suitable! I think it is better to find someone who knows the basics." Just be filial to the girl."

Mrs. Zhou probably guessed what Mrs. Li was thinking, so she didn’t want to continue discussing this matter. She changed the topic and immediately pointed to the pastry and said, "Try this pastry. My grandma taught me this pastry. If it weren’t for her help, I might not be able to do it now." I'm still working hard on the fishing boat to make a living!" Mrs. Li didn't feel unhappy after hearing this. Instead, she smiled cheerfully and said, "We are all a family and we should help each other. By the way, it's time for your kid to get married. ! But you have a girl you like?"

Mrs. Zhou quickly shook her head, "He said that we will discuss it after the provincial examination next year. If you are lucky enough to win, then you will be promoted. It can be said that it is a better girl. If you don't win, it will not matter. Let's find someone from a similar family. The important thing is to be sensible. Be filial and sensible.”

As soon as Mrs. Li heard this, she knew that Mrs. Zhou had a candidate in mind, but she hadn't even given her birth date yet, so it wasn't easy to tell her in detail.

The two sat for a while, and then Li followed the coachman back.

Mrs. Zhou saw her mother-in-law going out happily and bringing something with her when she came back, but she was a little uninterested and hurried over to inquire with concern.

Li shook her head dejectedly, her eyes shifted from Zhou to Xu Nuoyan, and sighed: "I still like you like this. You all get along easily. If in the future the Three Irons and Four Villages marry a girl from a wealthy family, I will I don’t even know how to talk to others.”

Zhou had a puzzled look on her face and asked cautiously: "Did something unhappy happen to my mother-in-law?"

"That's not true!" Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief again. She couldn't say that she went to see her grandson. She was teased by a group of noble gentlemen in the academy, teased by her grandson again, and made a fool of herself in front of a group of juniors, one of whom did it twice. Seeing her being embarrassed, the lady of the house brought shame to the eldest daughter-in-law.

Not wanting to continue this topic, Mrs. Li shared the snacks made by Mrs. Zhou with everyone, and moved closer to Xu Nuoyan, "From Erdan's house, grandma has something to ask you for help."

Xu Nuoyan quickly put down what she was doing and said, "Grandma, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

She has been here for so long, but no one from her husband's family has taken the initiative to ask her for help, and Mrs. Li is the first one.

Li Shi glanced at Yang Erya and said, "Erya, grandma is hungry and wants to eat the bacon porridge you made. Go and help me cook a pot, and we will eat it with these snacks."

Yang Erya didn't know what was going on, but he was obedient and went out immediately.

Seeing her leaving, Mrs. Li immediately said eagerly: "Grandma has been thinking about it for a while, and it would be better to marry Erya to Fucheng, far away from her troublesome father, and she won't be afraid of being taken advantage of in the future. !”

Mrs. Zhou was hesitant to speak several times, but Mr. Li didn't give her a chance to speak. "My grandma doesn't have high requirements. She just needs to find Erya a well-off family. For example, she has a few acres of land at home, and... Just have enough housing, be down-to-earth and hard-working, have a kind family, and don’t engage in those vain things.”

Xu Nuoyan listened carefully, and when he saw that Li had nothing to say, he immediately raised his eyebrows, "That's it?"

Ms. Li nodded, "That's it!"

She originally thought that Yang Erya could borrow the money from her big house and find a rich family to marry in Fucheng. However, what she just encountered at Quzhou Academy poured cold water on her. Those young masters from wealthy families In addition to his wife, he also had countless concubines.

The second daughter of her family had no capable parents or brothers to help her, so if she got married as she wished, she would be in constant trouble in the future.

She could trouble her eldest son to take care of him once or twice, but she couldn't let her eldest son take care of Erya for the rest of her life. After thinking about it, she could only give up her calculations and look at Yang Erya's marriage rationally.

"Grandma, I remember all the granddaughter-in-law you mentioned. Erya is not very young. Don't worry, I will choose carefully and I will definitely choose someone who satisfies you." Xu Nuoyan solemnly accepted the matter.
