Chapter 26 A good marriage
Nearing noon, the Yun family mother and daughter rejected Qian Manman's enthusiastic invitation and insisted on not staying for dinner.
Qian Manman didn't want to force it too much, so she dragged Yan Muxi and sent the mother and daughter to the second gate. She was reluctant to let them go even after watching them leave.
"...Sister-in-law Yun and I hit it off right away. Sister Juan is also very likable. Sister-in-law Yun will definitely bring Sister Juan to her house often."
The woman responded calmly, "Okay, I'll come visit you another day when I have time."
After receiving the signal, the gatekeeper opened the second door, and there stood a man in a green shirt, in his early twenties, with a tall and thin figure, and a handsome and elegant face.
The man bowed and said, "Cheng He greets Madam Man and the Second Miss."
Qian Manman's face was full of smiles. "Master Yun, are you here to pick up Sister-in-law and Miss Yun from the Yun family? You are indeed a good man who is filial and caring about his family!"
"Mrs. Xie Man, you are too kind. Being filial and taking care of the family is the duty of a man in Dafeng." The man answered respectfully.
Even after the Yun family members walked away, the man's eyes never fell on Yan Muxi at all.
On the other hand, Qian Manman's eyes followed as if she wanted to catch the person back.
Yan Muxi grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Don't look at it anymore. The shadow is gone. Can my daughter go back to the yard?"
Qian Manman retracted her gaze and glared at her fiercely, "You, you! You're already seventeen years old, why don't you wake up?"
"What's the point?" Yan Muxi pretended to be stupid.
Qian Manman poked her forehead in frustration, "You little bitch, just piss me off to death! Seriously, what do you think of the young master just now?"
"Not so good? He's older than my fourth and fifth brothers, uglier than my father, poorer than my cousin, and shorter..." Yan Muxi counted on her fingers and actually felt that the man was useless.
Qian Manman was so angry that she almost fell backwards. "How can you be so superficial? Choosing a husband is not like choosing a vase. Why does he have to be so good-looking and so tall?"
Yan Muxi glanced over and asked, "Dad is not good-looking? Not tall?"
The implication is, since you are superficial, why do you demand that others have substance?
Upon hearing this, Qian Manman wanted to be angry, but she couldn't help feeling proud.
"That's because I, your mother, am lucky. There is only one father in the world. It's not easy to find another one who is good in every way."
"Ah, you silly girl, stop talking nonsense! Just look at Mr. Yun, not only is he handsome, but he also entered the Imperial Academy at a young age and holds a seventh-rank official position. His ability and knowledge surpass those of the Su family kid. He has no concubines or maids, and except for his poor family background, there is nothing to complain about him..."
His surname is Yun and he holds a seventh-rank official position in the Hanlin Academy. Yan Muxi roughly knows who this Mr. Yun is.
When my father was working in Jiangnan, he had sponsored several poor scholars, and Yun Chenghe was one of them. He lost his father at a young age and was supported by his widowed mother. At the age of 19, he passed the imperial examination and became a juren. Later, he was valued and cultivated by his father and successfully passed the imperial examination and became a second-class jinshi.
Not only was this poor second-class Jinshi admitted to the Hanlin Academy, he also got an official position within just three years. This must have been due to his father's help and support.
If she married Yun Chenghe, she would still be under the control of her father, but would continue to be imprisoned in a different house. There would be no point in marrying like that.
Seeing that her daughter remained silent for a long time, Qian Manman asked urgently, "Why, Young Master Yun has such good conditions, but you still don't like him?"
Yan Muxi yawned, "Although I'm not too satisfied, it's still okay!"
"What do you mean by okay? Your father must have chosen a husband for you after careful consideration. Anyway, mother is quite satisfied with Mr. Yun. You should think about it carefully and don't act recklessly."
Qian Manman's brain is slow to change. The more you disobey her, the more excited she becomes.
Yan Muxi thought for a moment and said, "Mother may be satisfied with him, but what if he is not satisfied with your daughter?"
Qian Manman wanted to say that her daughter was perfect, so how could Yun Chenghe not be satisfied? But when she saw the butterfly in front of her, she suddenly lost her confidence.
"How about, after the New Year, I'll find a chance for you two to meet again?"
"Mother, you'd better not waste your time. Young Master Yun didn't even look at me just now! If he didn't like me at first sight, he won't like me again." Yan Muxi yawned again and said, "I'm so sleepy. I'm going to go back to the yard and sleep for a while. Don't forget to call me for lunch later!"
At noon, Yan's father came to Manwei Garden.
Qian Manman happily went over to her and stood on tiptoe to help her untie her cloak. "How come you have time to come here, my husband? Is Sister Qing feeling better?"
After the maid took off the cloak, Father Yan took her hand and said familiarly, "He hasn't woken up yet, but his fever has completely subsided. I think his life is not in danger."
"Why are my husband's hands so cold? I'm just worried about Sister Qing staying at Yaqing Garden. There's no need for me to come here specially." Qian Manman was full of heartache.
Father Yan said sternly, "Eh? Sister Qing is important, but so is Sister Xi! What did that girl say? Did she fall in love with Brother Yun?"
Qian Manman was very relieved that her daughter was valued so much by her husband. "Sister Xi didn't say she liked it, nor did she say she didn't like it. In my opinion, that little girl only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. She has not figured out the relationship between men and women at all!"
"Sister Xi will be seventeen next year. She has to find a husband even if she doesn't wake up. If she delays any longer, she will really become an old maid. You, as her mother, must teach her well." Father Yan said, and couldn't help but sigh, "Alas! Sister Xi's personality is not suitable for marrying into a rich family, otherwise it would never have been the turn of the poor boy surnamed Yun."
"My dear husband, please don't say that. Young Master Yun is young and promising. He is good in every way except that his family background is not good. I am afraid that he will look down on Sister Xi!"
Qian Manman is not an ignorant girl. After thinking about the situation just now and what Yan Muxi said, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Yun Chenghe did not like his daughter.
Father Yan subconsciously retorted, "How could that be? As long as Sister Xi agrees to this marriage, the Yun family will definitely have no objection."
Qian Manman was full of surprise, "Could it be that Master Yun has taken a fancy to Sister Xi?"
Seeing that she was not very happy, Father Yan coaxed her softly, "Cheng He has already replied that he likes Sister Xi very much. Alas! This marriage is an injustice to our Sister Xi after all!"
Qian Manman moved closer to her husband's arms, choking slightly with sobs, "Husband, you don't have to say more, I know everything."
The reason why Yan Muxi couldn't marry into a wealthy family was not just because of her personality, but because of her experience of being kidnapped when she was young.
Although the kidnapping happened in Jiangnan and was later covered up well by the Qian family, it may not escape the investigation of the wealthy and powerful families. Once it is exposed in the future, the entire Yan family will be implicated.
As for the last bed-climbing incident, those were just firecrackers pressed under the quilt, and there was no telling when they would explode, so the marriage could only be planned in a low-key manner.
When Yan Muxi arrived at the dining room, the food was already on the table.
Father Yan waved at her affectionately, "Come here, Sister Xi, we have your favorite sesame butter rolls and braised chicken."
"Hello, Father and Mother!" After hastily greeting each other, Yan Muxi sat down next to Qian Manman. "When did Father come here?"
