The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

Chapter 41 Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite

The old lady of the Shen family is worried about her granddaughter Xuehan. Although she is both talented and beautiful and has a prominent family background, Shen Xuehan, who has reached the marriageable age, has no plans to get married and is unwilling to go on blind dates. She just comes and goes alone, which makes the old lady Shen worried.

The Shen family's huge fortune cannot be without an heir. Do they have to adopt one in the future?

Her parents died early, leaving her as the only heir. What will she do in the future?

Seeing the sad face of Old Madam Shen, Old Madam Jiang smiled and said, "Xuehan is a beautiful girl with both talent and beauty. She will definitely marry a perfect husband. Don't worry!"

The old lady of the Yang family sighed: "Alas, every family has its own problems!"

When it comes down to it, among the four great families with prominent family backgrounds and wealth that can rival a country, only Jiang Yaonian, who is getting married today, is less of a worry for the elders, while the other three families each have their own troubles!

Everyone didn't know how to comfort each other, so they all kept silent...

Finally, it was Old Madam Yang who spoke up: "We are here to drink at the wedding today. Let's put aside all the unhappy things and take a good look at the bride. I heard that the old lady of the Jiang family personally selected her carefully."

As soon as this topic was brought up, all the old ladies became active and asked Madam Jiang to introduce herself one after another.

At this time, a girl wearing a golden hairpin and a brocade dress with flowers and butterflies came over and bowed gently, saying, "Good luck to all the old ladies!"

Madam Han looked at Madam Jiang and asked, "This is..."

Madam Jiang introduced with a smile: "This is my great-niece Dongzhi. Her cousin is getting married today and she came here to help."

As she spoke, Old Madam Jiang gave her instructions one by one. Liu Dongzhi bowed and called people gracefully. Her attitude was gentle and well-behaved, and the old ladies all liked her very much.

Madam Han nodded and smiled, "The little girl is pretty. How old is she this year?"

Liu Dongzhi smiled and said, "Madam, I am eighteen years old this year."

The old lady of the Shen family asked casually, "Do you have a husband?"

Liu Dongzhi shook her head and smiled shyly, "We haven't been engaged yet."

Everyone was very surprised when they heard this, and they all looked at Madam Jiang. Everyone was a little confused. Normally, children from wealthy families would be engaged by the time they were sixteen or seventeen years old, or at least they would have a designated candidate.

How come this gentle and well-behaved Miss Liu has reached the marriageable age but hasn’t even decided on a marriage yet?

Facing the inquiring eyes of the old sisters, Old Madam Jiang sighed, "Alas, before the child's father died, he originally wanted to marry her to the youngest son of the Ma Baiwan family. However, when the young master of the Ma family went to Hezhou for business, he encountered a mountain torrent and was washed away. Her father also died of illness not long after the Ma family's accident, so this matter has been delayed.

With all these things happening one after another, the kid was no longer in the mood to go on blind dates, but instead often came to keep me company to cheer me up.

Her mother had asked someone to introduce a few to her, but she wasn't too keen on any of them and couldn't find a suitable one at the moment."

Oh...I see!

The old ladies looked at Liu Dongzhi with some sympathy, and kindly advised: "Even so, we still have to look for her. There are still many children from good families."

"Yeah, she's still so young, and she hasn't even gotten married yet, so there's no point wasting time like this."

"That's right. Such a good girl, at such a prime age, shouldn't be wasting her time alone. Let your family introduce her to a good family."

Several old ladies were trying to persuade her one after another, and among them, Old Lady Shen's expression was the most kind and contained a hint of relief!

She was very happy and thought: It turns out that my precious granddaughter is not the only one who has not yet been engaged at this age! Look, Miss Liu looks gentle and well-behaved, and she is not bad looking either, but she is also not engaged!

Liu Dongzhi lowered her eyes obediently, silently listening to the advice of the elders. After a while, she raised her head and said very gently and humbly: "Thank you for the comfort of the old ladies. Dongzhi appreciates it. But in a situation like mine, who among those respectable and respectable families would be willing to accept me?

In fact, it’s not that I don’t want to get married, it’s just that there is no suitable person. If there is someone who knows me well and is suitable, I would be willing to marry him even if it means being a concubine.”

Having said that, Liu Dongzhi raised her big watery eyes, glanced at her aunt, Old Madam Jiang, then lowered her head and sighed.

Madam Jiang smiled and said, "That being said, being someone's concubine is unfair to you after all. All the elder sisters should help to find out now. If there is a suitable one, please introduce one to our child. This will also be an explanation to the child's grandfather."

At this time, a nanny came in from outside and came to the side of Mrs. Jiang, whispering a few words in her ear.

Madam Jiang's eyes shone after hearing this, and she quickly looked at the maid and asked, "Is the person out of danger now?"

The maid whispered, "He's out of danger now. We can get married soon!"

Madam Jiang frowned and said, "Let's ask Doctor He to come and take another look."

The old lady said, "Yes."

Liu Dongzhi secretly observed the expression of Mrs. Jiang, wondering what had happened. She thought: Could it be that something happened to the bride? Judging from the look of the aunt, it must be a serious matter. Is someone sick? Or did something happen to my cousin?

The other three old ladies also noticed it.

However, since no one mentioned such things, they couldn't ask about it, so they just pretended they didn't see it, and the room became quiet for a while.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Madam Han asked Madam Yang, "I haven't seen Ruoting for a long time. Why doesn't he come to visit us? Is it because his master is too busy with his studies and he doesn't have time?"

Madam Yang smiled and said, "That's not the case. I recently accompanied his father to Anyang. A family friend of mine was sick, so I took him to see him."

The housekeeper came over and said respectfully: "Madam, the bride has been picked up!"

The atmosphere suddenly became lively again. Several old ladies stood up, supported each other, walked out of the upper room and came to the front hall.

The Jiang Mansion, which is usually majestic and deserted, is completely different today.

Not only were the two stone lions at the door wearing big red flowers and a wedding banner hung on the door lintel, but even the main door, middle door, ceremonial door, front hall, and inner hall were all wide open, and the red carpet was laid directly from the door to the spacious auditorium!

The mansion was decorated with lights and flowers everywhere, revealing the joy and solemnity of the young master's marriage. The relatives and friends who came to congratulate were greeting each other and chatting, while the servants were busy shuttling back and forth.

Accompanied by the faint sound of drums and music, the wedding procession slowly approached from afar. Amid the lively sounds of firecrackers and the congratulations of relatives and friends who came to congratulate them, the sedan chair was carried all the way into the mansion, and then stopped in front of the central hall. The groom took the bride off the sedan chair and walked all the way to the main hall.

Above the lintel of the main hall hangs a red gold and black lacquer plaque with three large characters "Xieyi Hall" inscribed on it. They were written by the ancestor of the Jiang family himself. After having wealth and glory in life, the most important thing is to live freely and at ease. So when the four major families accumulated astonishingly huge wealth from generation to generation, they focused on living a free and easy life and named the hall after this.

There is another hall in the mansion, which is where Madam Jiang watches plays and entertains friends on a daily basis. It is named Zizaitang.

Today's Xieyi Hall is decorated in a very festive and luxurious manner. The spacious hall is covered with brocade carpets with patterns of blooming flowers and prosperity. A red carpet in the middle extends from the door to the front of a rosewood carved dragon table with its head bowed. Above the table hangs a picture of spring breeze on the fields. On both sides are two rosewood armchairs. Old Madam Jiang, dressed in a gorgeous dress, sits on the lower chair on the west side.

There were more than twenty tables on both sides of the hall. On the left sat clan nobles, famous families, and officials, while on the right sat the elders and juniors of the four major families, as well as relatives and friends of the Jiang family.

The hall was filled with a festive and lively atmosphere. Guests who knew each other were chatting in low voices. Everyone wanted to see what the future young lady looked like, especially Prince Jing who was sitting in the chief seat.

Prince Jing felt somewhat unconvinced, but also somewhat curious. He stared at the slender figure next to Jiang Yaonian with his round, goldfish eyes, concentrating on examining it.

He said to himself indignantly: This feeling is not that great! I thought she was a great lady, but she is not as good as my precious Ying'er, she is far inferior in every aspect!
