The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 922

Chapter 922: Chapter 790, Contentment

Having gotten married, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai spent more time at home, and with the addition of two new daughters-in-law, the house suddenly became much livelier, which pleased Old Madam Yan greatly.

After Yan Wenkai’s grand wedding, the Li Family moved out of the Yan residence and into their own purchased home.

"Your eldest uncle and second uncle want to open several shops in Beijing selling specialties from the south. Once the shops are up and running, they plan to leave your third cousin in charge in Beijing and return to Zhongzhou themselves."

Inside the Daohua Pavilion, while organizing Daohua’s dowry list, Madam Li talked to Daohua.

Daohua, her head bowed as she embroidered Xiao Yeyang’s wedding robe, nodded and said, "Eldest uncle and second uncle have their plans."

Madam Li shook her head and sighed, "It’s a pity, Yi Le doesn’t think highly of your third cousin. The assets of your uncle’s family are substantial; marrying into their family, she would live a life free of worry about food and clothing. Now that your third cousin is staying alone in Beijing without his in-laws to look after him, it’s such a comfortable household she doesn’t want. I’d like to see what kind of person she’d choose."

"Your father told me to help her pick a groom from among the lower ranks of officials, but apart from those in the lucrative posts at the Governor’s Office, which of the officials aren’t living tightly?"

"That girl Yi Le is nothing like Yi Shuang—steady and sensible, only caring about appearances. She’ll have a hard time in the future."

Daohua looked up, "Mother, weren’t second brother and sister-in-law here? When it’s time to find a match for fourth sister, involve sister-in-law and let her participate fully; there are some things she can say more easily than you." _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

Madam Li smiled, "Even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have done so. I certainly don’t want to be blamed by your second uncle and aunty one day for all my efforts bearing no good fruit."

Daohua moved her neck to relieve the stiffness, stood up, and poured a cup of tea for Madam Li, "Mother, I heard that father has visitors today?"

Madam Li nodded, "It’s the Feng Jiajiu from the Imperial College."

Daohua was puzzled, "How did father come to associate with the Feng Family?"

Madam Li replied, "Isn’t your eldest brother working with Feng Hao at the Hanlin Academy? Feng Jiajiu is Feng Hao’s uncle, and they’ve gotten to know each other through interactions."

When speaking of Feng Hao, Madam Li couldn’t help but recall his mother and their unpleasant last encounter, causing the smile on her face to fade a bit.

"Feng Jiajiu is profoundly learned, and your father has always enjoyed associating with refined and scholarly people. They’ve met several times at other people’s gatherings and hit it off quite well."

"Besides, your cousin Sister Zixuan is married into a side branch of the Feng Family, so our family is somewhat related to the Fengs. Feng Jiajiu even came for your fourth brother’s wedding. Now, during the time off, your father has invited him over to the house."

If she were to say, she truly didn’t want much to do with the Feng Family.

She couldn’t help it; the impression Feng Hao’s mother left on her was indeed not good.

Daohua also remembered the previous attempt by her eldest brother and sister-in-law to match her with Feng Hao. Although it was a bit uncomfortable for her, she didn’t say anything since she wouldn’t have much contact with the Feng Family anyway.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was November, and the weather grew colder.

Having finished the last stitch, Daohua rubbed her hands and approached the charcoal brazier. Gazing out at the snowflakes swirling outside, she stamped her feet and said, "The winter here in Beijing is much colder than Zhongzhou."

Turning to Bi Shi, she asked, "Have the winter supplies for Master been fully prepared?"

Bi Shi laughed, "Miss, rest assured, with Dongli and Caiju looking after him, the old master won’t catch a chill."

Daohua nodded, then inquired, "Has the Prince gone to Four Seasons Manor again this month?"

Bi Shi replied, "The day I went, the Prince was there. I heard from the steward that he even took a hot spring bath with the old master; also, the old Prince was there. When I left, I saw the old master was in high spirits."

Daohua felt reassured, "That’s good." She was getting married at the beginning of next month, so she really couldn’t run around outside this month.

After a while, as the snow lessened, Daohua had Bi Shi hold an umbrella, planning to visit Old Madam Yan for lunch.

Approaching the courtyard door, Daohua heard laughter from inside and her mouth immediately curved into a smile, "Grandmother must be playing cards with the sisters-in-law."

With that, she stepped toward the courtyard door.

However, at that moment, laughter from several men reached her ears.

The voices were unfamiliar to Daohua, so she withdrew the foot she had stepped forward and turned to the doorkeeper, "Do we have visitors?"

The doorkeeper replied with a smile, "The eldest young master has brought the cousin-in-law, along with several sons from the Feng Family, to pay their respects to Old Madam. Right now, they’re roasting venison and eating with the madams and young ladies under the gazebo."
