The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 563

Chapter 563: Chapter 514: Alienation_1 Chapter 563 -514: Alienation_1 Li Zixuan was getting married, and as her aunt, Madam Li felt it was her duty to personally see her off.

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Madam Li took several of the Yan Family girls, including Yang Xiujun, and boarded the carriage to the provincial capital. Since Yan Zhigao was tied up with official duties and could not leave, Yan Wenxiu represented him.

In the carriage, Madam Li looked at her daughter, who was busy writing and drawing on the tea table, and asked, “Weren’t you looking after Xiujun quite attentively before? Why didn’t you invite her to ride with us just now?”

Daohua put down her pen and fell silent for a moment, “I’ve realized that my cousin Xiujun and I really don’t see eye to eye. I’m afraid my careless words might set off her fanciful worries again. It’s quite bothersome, better to keep some distance.”

After refusing Yang Xiujun’s request yesterday, she didn’t show any reaction, but at lunch and dinner, Yang Xiujun seemed to avoid her, prompting their grandmother to give them several glances and even took her aside privately to ask if they had a falling out.

This made her very uncomfortable!

Madam Li looked at her daughter and, considering Xiujun’s usual behavior, sighed, “Your aunt’s days in the Yang Family have not been easy, resulting in Xiujun being raised a bit petty and narrow-minded.”

She had seen Xiujun’s envious looks directed at her daughter more than once, and sometimes her words were tinged with bitterness.

“After the Zhou Family’s celebration, she and your aunt will return to the capital with your eldest brother. During this period, for the sake of your grandmother, you should try to present a cordial face.”

Daohua: “Mother, I understand. I didn’t really do anything. I just prefer not to be around cousin Xiujun all the time, otherwise, I have to make an effort to find things to talk about, and while talking, I have to be careful not to touch on her sensitive nerves. It’s too tiring.”

Madam Li would naturally not inconvenience her own daughter and changed the subject, “After arriving at your uncle’s place, you must help look after Xiujun and Yihuan for me.”

Daohua nodded and continued writing on the paper.

Madam Li peered over, “What are you doing there?”

Daohua didn’t look up, “Spring plowing is approaching, and I’m planning what to plant in each of my estates and fields.”

Upon hearing this, pride and relief appeared between Madam Li’s brows. Her daughter owned these assets at such a young age; the family had never had to contribute a single strand. “It is indeed necessary to plan well. These will all be part of your dowry in the future.”

Whether a woman lives well in her husband’s family depends not only on her own family’s support but also on the size of her dowry.

This time, Daohua didn’t change the subject, but instead took the initiative to ask, “Mother, although I have some shops and fields, compared to other noble ladies, they are still far from enough, aren’t they?”

Madam Li’s smile faded, and she touched her daughter’s hair, “The daughters of prominent and noble families generally start accumulating their dowry from birth, and by the time they get married, it is indeed a grand sight.”

“Our family has a thin foundation, and we haven’t been wealthy for long, but don’t worry, your two uncles have been helping. We have accumulated some jewels, antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and precious woods. I also collect any good items I come across for you. By the time you marry, I will surely prepare a fine dowry for you.”

Daohua: “Mother, you don’t need to prepare for me; just take care of my brothers. I can save for my own dowry.”

Madam Li tapped Daohua’s forehead, “What nonsense are you talking about? With your brothers, you will also have your share. If you can save something, that’s your ability; it has nothing to do with the family.”

Daohua fell silent for a moment, “Mother, how is the preparation for elder brother’s betrothal going? The Han Family is an Earl’s family. We can’t send presents that are too shabby, right?”

Madam Li was not too concerned, “Han Er Laoye and Han Da Gongzi have stayed with our family for quite some time. They know well enough about our situation. Besides, it was the Han Family who showed interest first, not us eagerly seeking the match. You do what you can based on your capabilities. Our family will not intentionally lose their face, but we won’t live beyond our means either.”

Seeing that Madam Li was quite confident, Daohua stopped talking.

That is the difference between taking a wife and giving away a daughter. _{freёwebnoѵel.com}

When taking a wife, it means another family’s daughter is joining the family to serve; the groom’s family naturally should be more confident. When giving away a daughter, one’s own daughter is leaving to serve another family; to ensure she lives well, the bride’s family inevitably has to be accommodating.

While they spoke, they arrived at the docks.

Everyone left the carriage to board the boat, and by nearly noon, they arrived at the docks of the provincial capital.

With the Lantern Festival approaching, the docks were bustling with extra activity. Vessels came and went; after waiting for quite a while, the boat carrying Daohua and the others pulled into the dock.

“There are many people outside, you girls should all wear your veils properly,” Madam Li reminded Daohua and Yihuan, then turned to Wenxiu and the others, “Protect your younger sisters, don’t let them get jostled.”
