The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 322

Chapter 322: Chapter 302, Earl Zhaode Residence_1

“Dinner is about to start; there’s no need to go back to your courtyard. Just come with me to Grandma’s place later,”

Madam Li said while arranging the appreciation items sent by the Li Family and Xiao Yeyang. She chose some according to Grandma’s preferences, planning to bring them over during dinner.

Daohua nodded, picking up a piece of red date cake from the table and leisurely eating it. Recalling the mention of her elder brother’s marriage in her grandmother’s room earlier, she couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, which girl have you picked out for brother? Do I know her?”

Madam Li paused in her selection of items and shook her head with a sigh, “It wasn’t I who chose her.”

Daohua’s eyes lit up as she smiled and said, “Could it be that brother chose her himself?”

Madam Li gave her daughter a stern look, “Nonsense! Marriage is always arranged by parents and matchmakers. Who says one can choose on their own?”

Daohua pouted and muttered, “What’s wrong with choosing on one’s own? It might be better than you making random matches!”

“What did you say?”

Madam Li turned her head to look.

Daohua quickly shook her head and pretended to be clueless, “I didn’t say anything!” Seeing a hint of anger on her mother’s face, she hurriedly changed the subject, “If you didn’t choose her, it must have been father, right?”

With that, she furrowed her brows.

“Mom, father really isn’t the best at judging people. You have to make sure to check properly for brother; it’s a matter that will affect his whole life.”

Madam Li gave her daughter a sidelong glance, “As if you need to tell me that. But you know, the marriage isn’t assured just yet!”

Daohua walked over and shook Madam Li’s arm, “Mom, just tell me which family’s girl it is first? Maybe I can help too.”

Madam Li smiled and shook her head, “You can’t help with this; the girl is from Beijing.”

Daohua looked surprised, and after a while, she shook her head and sighed, “Just as I thought, brother went to Beijing once and indeed brought back a fiancée for you.”

“Which family is it? I could ask Yuanyao and Jingwan for information; they know much more about the affairs in Beijing than our family.”

Madam Li thought it made sense and didn’t keep it from her daughter, “It’s the second daughter from the Earl Zhaode Residence.”

Daohua was shocked, “The daughter of the Earl Residence? How could such a family take a liking to us?”

It wasn’t that she looked down on her own family, but in ancient times, marriage was all about equally matched households.

Her stepfather was now a fourth-rank Magistrate, but that was a far cry from those nobility families with titles in Beijing.

“Could it be that the girl from the Earl Residence has some hidden illness?”

In this era, daughters from big families were almost always involved in marriage alliances, which naturally had to be advantageous, so most women married up to bring benefits to their families.

There were cases of women marrying down, but those were definitely rare.

Madam Li looked at her daughter with annoyance and tapped her on the head, “What in the world are you thinking about all day long?”

Daohua rubbed her forehead and grumbled, “I’m just analyzing things normally. Why would there be pies falling from the sky for no reason? Of course, I have to think more about it.”
