Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 2469

Seeing Nan Hua’s quiet look, First Madam Xiao chuckled. "There are not many things that we can do right now and many of us wished the younger generation to have promising partner."

They definitely couldn’t pick partner arbitrarily.

At the very least, they had to make sure the other party had some certain standings and influence. Otherwise, they would not hand over their daughter to the other party.

For most noble families, it was this way.

And for those who were poorer, what they cared about was nothing more than the bride price from these men.

After all, many works were still dominated by men and there were not many places where women could work and earn their own living. They had to rely on the men for the rest of their lives.

Some people like this situation while some others didn’t like it.

Nan Hua herself belonged to the latter. She was used to be independent and do many things by herself. But she also knew that it was hard to change the situation for so many people.

’Perhaps, the increase of trade will bring more prosperity to Cheng City and some things can be changed.’

If Nan Hua had to say, she has never been the type of meddlesome person. She was used to only care for things that were related to her but she would pay attention to almost everything around her.

Because if she were to be dragged into other people’s scheme, it would be more troublesome.

"General Shangguan can be considered a good partner," Nan Hua said after a while.

She would not even consider it, but Nan Hua knew that Shangguan Xiao was not that bad.

It was just…

If she was not wrong, Shangguan Xiao was older than Long Qian Xing. But he hadn’t even settled down yet, which was extremely rare in this era where most men would settle down not long after they reached 20 years old.

Many people even had engagements ever since they were young so that they would get married the moment they become adult.

"Yes." First Madam Xiao nodded. "But it’s uncertain how many people can possibly get close to him now."

He was already at high status and he might be a bit more picky when selecting his future partner. When thinking about this, First Madam Xiao could only sigh and then forget about it.

In any case, she had no interest to join in the fun.

Her children were all already married and her grandchildren were still too young. It was too early for her to even consider their lifelong event.

Nan Hua: "…"

She looked at the chatty women helplessly.

At this moment, Nan Hua remembered that Long Qian Xing and Shangguan Xiao often competed when they were younger. After all, the two of them were of similar age and had similar dreams.

They fought against each other and competed from time to time.

If it was not because their place of deployment were different from one another, they might have ended up cooperating more in the war.
