Chapter 914: Chapter 785, As Ambitious as the Sky_2

"Eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, elder sister!"

Several people greeted each other and then started discussing Zhou Jingwan’s dowry.

Madam Zhou had prepared a very generous and complete dowry for Zhou Jingwan—dressing cases, clothes, bedding, gold and silver utensils, and treasures of all kinds.

Since tomorrow was the wedding day, Han Xinran and Daohua were both very busy. After watching for a while, they went off to attend to their tasks.

Zhu Qiyun also took Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile away.

On the way, Yan Yihuan asked, "Second sister-in-law, where is second brother?"

Zhu Qiyun smiled and said, "Your elder brother’s colleagues from the Hanlin Academy have come over, and your second brother is currently entertaining guests with them."

Yan Yile immediately asked, "Is it Young Master Xue?"

Zhu Qiyun: "It seems he is surnamed Xue. Why, do you know him?"

Yan Yile curled her lips: "How can we know him?"

Yan Yihuan glared at the sarcastic Yan Yile and explained to Zhu Qiyun, "That Mr. Xue might possibly be the person chosen by our family for our third sister."

Zhu Qiyun looked surprised and then smiled, "Really? I just had a glance from afar, and Mr. Xue looked handsome and impressive. He seems quite good."

Yan Yile: "Of course he’s good. Our uncle may not dote on our third sister as much as when she was younger, but he still cares a lot about her matters."

Zhu Qiyun glanced at the slightly sour tone of Yan Yile, ignored it, and smiled at Yan Yihuan, "What is the Xue family’s background like?"

Before Yan Yihuan could answer, Yan Yile jumped in: "Naturally, it’s excellent. The Xue family originally hails from Fenxi and is a well-respected clan there."

"Since the generation of old Mr. Xue, they’ve moved to Beijing and have been established here for three generations. Although old Mr. Xue retired as a mere third-rank official, and present Mr. Xue is only a fourth-rank, the Xue family knows how to network and has quite some connections in Beijing."

"Mr. Xue is even more outstanding, having passed the imperial examination with a higher ranking than our elder brother right after becoming an adult."

Hearing Yan Yile speak so thoroughly, Yan Yihuan was surprised, "Younger sister, how do you know so much?"

Yan Yile: "I naturally need to find out clearly who third sister is marrying. Besides, this is no secret," she said, curling her lips.

"Although uncle and aunt always say they see me and second sister as their own, from the way they find husbands for second sister and third sister, it’s clear they’re just paying lip service; they do really play favorites."

"Whether in terms of family background or talent, the choice made for second sister is not as good as that for third sister. Young Master Xue is already an official, and once third sister marries him, she’ll be an official’s wife. But what about Young Master You? He’s just a scholar, and it’s not even certain whether he can pass the imperial examination in the future."

"Younger sister!"
