The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 476

Chapter 476: Chapter 445: Discussion_1

Second Master Han and others sat in Grandmother’s room for a while before following Yan Zhigao to the front courtyard.

Once people left, Old Madam Yan said to Madam Li, “Judging by Second Master Han’s demeanour and the conduct of Han’s eldest son, the Han Family seems quite reputable. It’s just that I don’t know what their daughter is like?”

Madam Li’s face showed worry. As it concerned her eldest son’s marriage, she couldn’t personally inspect her future daughter-in-law, which always left her somewhat uneasy for two reasons: first, she feared the girl might not be beautiful or virtuous enough for her son; second, she worried the girl might lack the temperament or ability to be the wife of the Yan Family’s eldest son.

The heritage of the Han Family was indeed commendable. If they were to form a marital alliance, it could even be said that the Yan Family would be marrying up. But just like any mother, she felt her son deserved the best girl in the world. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

Madam Li suddenly turned to Yan Siyu and asked, “Little sister, the Yang Family often resides in Beijing. Do you know what people say about the girls from Earl Zhaode’s Residence?”

Yan Siyu replied somewhat awkwardly, “Eldest sister, the Yang Family’s social circle consists mostly of officials below the fourth rank, and they hardly have any dealings with noble families.”

...

Madam Li was taken aback for a moment, then smiled apologetically, “Look at me, always speaking without thinking. Little sister, I hope you don’t mind.”

Yan Siyu smiled and shook her head, “What are you saying, eldest sister? The fault lies with me for not being able to help.”

Madam Li quickly said, “Please don’t speak like that, otherwise mother might say I’m bullying you.”

Yan Siyu returned to her seat beside Old Madam Yan and said with a smile, “Eldest sister is the kindest, mother would never say that.”

Old Madam Yan said with a smile, “Alright, you two stop with the formalities.”

After pondering for a moment, Yan Siyu said, “Since Earl Zhaode’s title will be retracted in this generation, they have always kept a low profile. Despite living in Beijing for so many years, rarely do I hear any gossip about them. The household is considered to have a decent reputation.”

Down below, Daohua and several other girls were all ears, and upon hearing this, Daohua couldn’t help but speak, “Mother, if the Han Family can come to our house to gather information, we too can send someone to Beijing to investigate.”

That Feng Hao has nothing to do with Feng Liangji’s family, yet when Sister Zixuan and Feng Liangji were betrothed, he showed up in person. Now, thinking back, he must have been the first scout the Han Family sent to learn about our family.

But at that time, our family was nothing more than a local official family with an unclear future. So after gathering information, the Han Family made no overtures.

However, now, my eldest brother has passed the imperial examinations, and both grandmother and mother have received imperial appointments. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the Yan Family’s future prospects are assured, hence the Han Family has now come in person to celebrate the birthday.

While the Han Family may have figured out our family situation, we still know nothing about them.

Upon hearing this, Madam Li immediately gave her a sideways glance and scolded, “Why is a young girl like you interrupting when adults are speaking?”

Daohua replied, “It concerns my elder brother’s lifelong happiness; of course, I take it seriously. The future sister-in-law will spend her life with my brother; you wouldn’t want him to marry someone he doesn’t like, would you?”

Madam Li smiled apologetically at Yan Siyu and then scolded Daohua, “You’re getting more brazen with your words. Enough, don’t loiter here. Go out and take your cousin Xiujun for a walk.”

Daohua pouted as she stood up, leading Yang Xiujun out while thinking that Xiaoliu was just the person to head to Beijing to check on the Hot Spring Mountain. She planned to write him a letter, asking him to inquire about the Han Family.

As the girls left, Madam Li turned to Yan Siyu with a smile and said, “Yiyi has been spoiled by me; my apologies for her causing you embarrassment.”

Yan Siyu returned the smile, “Yiyi cares about her brother; it just shows their sibling affection is strong.”

Madam Li’s face showed a contented smile, pleased to see her children have a good relationship.

Sun Family interjected with a smile, “Eldest sister-in-law, are you and big brother thinking of settling on the Han girl for Wenxiu?”

Madam Li promptly said in all seriousness, “Second sister-in-law, this matter isn’t yet certain; you mustn’t spread rumors. If it falls through, it could harm the girl’s reputation.”
