The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131: Chapter 117, Good Big Brother_1

All the young ladies had gradually gone out to play in groups, and the room quieted down considerably. The various Madams shared their own experiences and interesting stories, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

Daohua and Zhou Jingwan sat at the lower seats, quietly sipping their tea.

“This tea isn’t as good as the flower tea from your home!” Zhou Jingwan took a sip and then set it down with some disdain.

Daohua thought to herself, of course it was better, to make the Yan Family look good in front of others, she always served tea grown in her own garden space.

“It’s inconvenient on this mountain, just drink what’s available.” Anyway, after climbing for so long, she was really thirsty, and after finishing the cup in her hand, she had the maidservant beside her refill it.

Zhou Jingwan pursed her lips and didn’t move.

From childhood, she had developed quite the picky palate, and ordinary common things rarely passed her lips.

Just then, she saw the Senior Maid beside her mother quickly walk in, and as she passed by them, she glanced their way.

Zhou Jingwan, out of boredom, followed the maid with her eyes and soon saw the maid lean over and whisper a few words into her mother’s ear.

Madam Zhou, after hearing the maid’s words, spoke with a smile, “Some children from families we are close with happen to be resting in the temple and want to come over to pay their respects, it’s a good opportunity for everyone to take a look, they are all fine children.”

With that, she turned to Madam Li with amusement, “Your two boys are also on the mountain, and they’ve come over as well.”

Madam Li’s expression shifted, she knew the reference was to Wenkai and Wentao.

Having only seen Wenxiu earlier and not the other two, she had guessed that such a scene would unfold.

Regardless, since she, as their elder, had arrived, the two younger ones would have to come pay their respects regardless.

Soon, maids brought in six or seven teenage boys.

Leading them was the son of the Provincial Governor, Dong Yuanxuan, followed by the Advisor’s son, Su Hongxin, then the son of the Court Physician, Wu Hongda, and lastly the Yan brothers.

Zhou Chengye had already met the various Madams beforehand, and this time he merely accompanied the others, acting as a guide.

“My nephews pay their respects to Aunt Zhou, and greet all the Madams here!” The young men paid their respects to the ladies present.

Madam Zhou hurriedly asked them to rise and eagerly introduced the young men to the families.

Suddenly, the Madams burst into praise as if it cost them nothing.

Madam Li sat aside, maintaining a proper smile on her face, looking delightfully at Wenkai and Wentao as they handled themselves comfortably with the ladies.

She reflected that it hadn’t been long since the two had gone to Wangyue Academy, yet their bearing and interaction with others had already become quite measured, a complete change from when they were at home.

Now, even standing before sons of aristocratic families, though still somewhat lacking in thoughtfulness and smoothness, they weren’t overwhelmingly outdone.

Below, Daohua and Zhou Jingwan watched as their brothers were appraised and discussed by the various Madams, and couldn’t help but snicker quietly.

“Let me tell you, the reason these Madams are so enthusiastic is because they are considering future sons-in-law!” Zhou Jingwan whispered.

Daohua criticized inwardly, “Damn ancient times, ruining the future flowers,” and with a curl of her lip, said, “Among those present, only your brother and Dong Yuanxuan are a bit older, just fifteen or sixteen years old at most, where’s the need for such haste?”

Zhou Jingwan spoke as if it were obvious, “Fifteen or sixteen is certainly old enough—look, it’s just an initial assessment. As for marriage, the timing can be negotiated!”

Daohua shook her head and picked up her teacup to drink in silence.
