Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 162: Let's discuss marriage after passing the imperial examination

"Ahem... ahem... I forgot about this. I always thought that our mansion was still as hated as before!"

Father Xiao said embarrassedly that he would never admit in front of his children that Jiang Penzi had always looked down on him and often despised him.

Even though he knew in his heart that he was despised by everyone and could not hide it from his children, he could avoid embarrassment as long as he pretended to be ignorant.

"Father, the young masters of our mansion are handsome and ambitious, and many noble ladies want to marry into our family.

It was Madam Jiang who took the initiative to propose marriage to the Jiang Mansion tomorrow. If Fourth Brother disagrees, I will not agree to Madam Jiang's proposal."

Wen Qingwan looked at the room full of handsome men and beautiful women and explained happily that she didn't want her brothers and sisters to misunderstand that she was acting on her own.

"Although it was the Jiang family who took the initiative, Chuan'er shouldn't be too arrogant. You should perform well tomorrow." Father Xiao advised with a smile on his face.

The person who was most happy about this marriage was Xiao's father. Jiang Penzi, who once despised him, actually wanted to marry his daughter to him as his daughter-in-law.

Haha... Father Xiao laughed three times in his heart. Jiang Penzi must be envious of him, so he kept spraying him in the court.

Jiang Penzi only married one wife in his life, so he must be envious of him for marrying dozens of wives and concubines, haha...

When the Xiao family's children saw their father laughing so hard that his mouth stretched to his ears, they also laughed out loud.

"Sister-in-law, why is my third brother going to propose marriage?" Xiao Lichun asked curiously, his eight teeth showing in his smile.

"When your third brother finds a girl he likes, your sister-in-law will help him invite a matchmaker to propose marriage." Wen Qingwan answered seriously.

"Third brother, be sure to tell sister-in-law which girl you like." Xiao Yi said happily.

Deep down, she still favors her third brother, who is from the same mother as her, and hopes that he can find a girl he likes.

"Marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers. Our mansion is now run by my eldest sister-in-law, so my marriage will be decided by my eldest sister-in-law."

Xiao Litao said readily that he didn't have any girl he liked, and he trusted his sister-in-law's judgment.

"Since Third Brother trusts Sister-in-law so much, I will pay more attention to him. We will discuss Third Brother's marriage after the Autumn Examination."

Wen Qingwan's voice was clear and pleasant, like a gentle breeze and drizzle blowing on the hearts of everyone in the Xiao family.

"Yes, Wan'er is right. Discussing marriage now will distract Tao'er." Old Madam Xiao and Father Xiao were very satisfied with Wen Qingwan's approach.

They all knew that Xiao Litao was the most promising one besides Xiao Jin.

Taoer's marriage should be discussed after he passes the imperial examination. Only then will he have more choices.

"Sister-in-law wants to wait for Third Brother Jin..." Before Xiao Yi finished her words, she was interrupted by Wen Qingwan, "Eleven can also tell Sister-in-law when he meets his ideal husband."

Wen Qingwan thought to herself that the Xiao family did not need to rely on in-laws to support their family, and Xiao Jin's marriage would be arranged without regrets when he passed the imperial examination.

If Xiao Yi said it out, it would invisibly put some pressure on her third brother. She felt that there was no need to put the boy under more pressure.

It would be best if you can pass the imperial examination, but if not, it doesn’t matter either.

"Haha... Eleventh sister cares so much about Third brother's marriage, it turns out she wants to find a brother-in-law!"

"Who does Eleventh Sister like?"

"Who is worthy of our Eleventh Sister?"

"You are just a frog in a well. The world outside is so big, there are many people who are worthy of Eleventh Sister."

“Oh my god, are there really such excellent people?”

"How outstanding do you think one has to be to be worthy of our Eleventh Sister?" "At least he has to be as outstanding as our eldest brother."

"Same as our eldest brother, how is that possible? Our eldest brother is the most powerful in the world."

Wen Qingwan saw a group of young boys and girls gathered together chattering and occasionally glancing at her. She thought that such days were also very good.

"Okay, it's getting late. Everyone go back to your yard and sleep. Continue studying and working tomorrow." After she said that, she took a few maids and walked towards her own yard.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, illuminating the tranquility of the Xiao residence's back garden.

Wen Qingwan walked quietly on the path back to the courtyard with a few maids. She looked up and gazed at the starry sky in the distance.

Worried about Xiao Jin who was far away at the border, as soon as they stepped into the yard, they saw a Saker Falcon standing on the swing where Wen Qingwan usually sat.

"Oh my God, who sent such a beautiful eagle?" Jinque asked Jinlan with a frown.

Jinlan whispered, "I don't know either. Jinyun, you said that the eagle flew to our yard..."

"This is a Saker Falcon. It might be raised by the Marquis. Don't let outsiders know about this."

Wen Qingwan glanced at the maids following behind her and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Not only had she seen a Saker Falcon in her previous life, she had also seen one two days ago, so she was not too surprised.

"Yes, master. We will never let outsiders know." Jinlan, Jinliu and Jinyun promised in unison.

Jinque covered his mouth and exclaimed: "Oh my God! Is this a Saker Falcon? I thought Saker Falcons were extremely ugly! This Saker Falcon must have been tamed by our Marquis. Looking at the entire Dasheng..."

Before Jinque could finish his words, Jinlan and Jinliu hit him on the head one after another: "Que'er, don't talk nonsense. The Marquis is fighting the enemy at the border, so how can he have time to catch the eagle?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could our Lord raise a Saker Falcon? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll cut off your tongue!"

"Don't be angry, sisters. I only said it quietly in the master's yard and I won't tell anyone outside.

Our Lord is really amazing, not only can he raise such a handsome and beautiful Saker Falcon, but he also flew back alone to find his wife, hehe..."

Jinque had a flattering expression on her face and blinked her beautiful eyes twice at Jinlan and Jinliu.

"Yes, I'm afraid that our Marquis is the only one in the world who has the ability to tame such a handsome Saker Falcon." Wen Qingwan smiled lightly while pursing her lips.

Seeing that their master also agreed with Jinque, Jinliu and Jinlan stopped warning Jinque.

Jin Liu, who grew up in the Dark Guard Battalion, knew about the Saker Falcon, which was a very rare large eagle in Dasheng.

Only the royal secret guards have the ability to subdue it. The so-called folk masters taming the Saker Falcon is nothing but a lie.

Moreover, capturing a Saker Falcon requires extremely strong internal strength, which ordinary people simply do not have.

"Master, such a beautiful Saker Falcon, I can't help but want to touch it." Jinque excitedly reached out to touch the Saker Falcon.

The Saker Falcon immediately let out a threatening low growl, as if it was afraid of disturbing others.

The Saker Falcon is a ferocious animal and can easily harm humans if it is not controlled by force.

It is said that when the royal guards were training the Saker Falcon, they once fed it medicine to prevent it from attacking people.

Although the Saker Falcon was already furious, it did not immediately rush up to bite the Sparrow.

Instead, it flew in front of Wen Qingwan, who immediately stretched out her hands and let it fall into her palms.

"Xiaoqing is hungry. Jinliu, go prepare some food. Jinque and Jinyun will stay outside the yard."
