After unlocking the material space, I raised my younger siblings in a farmhouse.

"Second sister, I understand. Please arrange it for me." This time it was Lin Cheng who responded first.

In fact, Lin Cheng is not opposed to getting married, but he has not been able to find someone with whom he is willing to spend the rest of his life.

Lin Chuyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Lin Cheng finally changed his mind.

She was very worried that Lin Cheng and Lin Wuyou would be reluctant to get married because of the influence of her modern thinking. If that happened, she would be committing a great sin.

When Lin Chuyi heard what Lin Cheng said, she was afraid that he was just impulsive and would regret it later, so she immediately took out a stack of papers that she had prepared in advance.

The paper was densely covered with words and many lifelike portraits. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that these were personal information and realistic portraits of women of marriageable age in the families of officials of the sixth rank and above in Kyoto.

Lin Cheng was stunned when he saw what Lin Chuyi handed over. This pile of papers was so thick, there must be 20 or 30 sheets, right? Looking at the information recorded on it, it was extremely detailed, even more detailed than the emperor's selection of concubines.

Lin Chuyi looked at Lin Cheng's surprised expression and spoke with satisfaction.

"I have spent a lot of time and effort to collect detailed information about the ladies in Kyoto. These are the candidates I have screened. I have seen these women with my own eyes. Putting aside their family background and origin, just based on their appearance and character, they are absolutely qualified to be your wives in my opinion.

"Take a look first. I drew the pictures myself. They are absolutely one-to-one reproductions. Tell me the result after you have looked at them. If you like any of them, I will help you arrange a meeting."

"If you don't like any of them, then I, as your sister, have done my best. If you are chosen by a high-ranking official and forced to marry into his family, I will be powerless to help you."

Lin Wuyou didn't want to get married at first, but seeing her second sister only running around for her younger brother, she felt a little jealous: "Second sister, what about me? You won't just take care of your younger brother and ignore me, right?"

Lin Chuyi looked at her with a half-smile: "Oh, you want to get married again? Don't worry, no one can be without you. Here, give it to you."

After Lin Chuyi finished speaking, he took out a stack of regulations that were exactly the same as the ones Lin Cheng had and handed them to Lin Wuyou.

"Men in Beijing marry relatively late, but most of them marry at the age of 18 or 19. I searched for a long time before I found a few candidates who are not married yet and have good character. In addition, there are many young talents I know."

"Although they don't have a prominent family background, they have worked hard on their own and now have a small fortune. I hope you will choose them rather than the officials."

"After all, you are different from me. If I want to pursue a career in government, I need help. If you marry into an official family, the various rules and the natural oppression of class will make you feel suffocated."

"Not to mention that for these noble sons of noble families, taking concubines is as common as eating and drinking. Are you willing to be trapped in the harem for the rest of your life, fighting against all kinds of concubines?"

Lin Wuyou frowned and shook her head like a rattle, "I don't want a dirty man like that."

"So, Second Sister wants you to choose from the merchants I selected. I have a clear understanding of their specific situations. Most of them don't have any direct elders in their families. Once you marry into one, you will be the head of the family. And with me, an official, backing you up, you don't have to worry about him bullying you."

"If you like any of them, I will arrange for you two to meet each other. After the meeting, if you two like each other, you can discuss the issue of taking a concubine with him first."

"If he agrees not to take a concubine for life, let him sign a divorce agreement first as a double guarantee. This way, if he dares to break his promise and have an affair after marriage, you can take the dowry and the divorce agreement and leave at any time."

"By then, you'll have a family that will prepare a generous dowry for you, and you'll have your own career. You won't have to rely on a man, and you'll still be able to live a wonderful life."

Lin Wuyou's eyes lit up when he heard this, "That's a good idea!"

"Of course, everything depends on your personal feelings. If you really don't like anyone, don't force it. When you are old enough, you can live alone. As long as you live a good life, don't get married just for the sake of getting married, okay?"

"understood."

Lin Cheng was upset as he listened to this. The marriage hasn't even been decided yet, is it really appropriate to start talking about divorce?

When Lin Chu saw Lin Cheng like this, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Don't take advantage of me and still act cute. I'm telling you, if you marry someone, you have to be devoted to them. Don't have any concubines or maids for me. If you dare to have any bad thoughts, I'll break your legs. Even if I'm not here, your elder sister and the third sister are watching you. Do you hear me?"

"I understand, sister. Am I that kind of person?" Lin Cheng looked helpless.

Lin Chuyi sneered, "Not now, but who knows in the future. This world is too unfair to women. A man who has three wives and four concubines will only be regarded as a playboy, but a woman is different. Even if she just talks to a man for a few more words, she may be labeled as immoral and fickle."

"Men can have thousands of options, but even if women are extremely gifted and talented, their ultimate destination is to be trapped in a mansion, unable to realize their ambitions. But why? It's just that you stinky men have forced women into shackles in order to better suppress them."

"Second sister, I am not..." Before Lin Cheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lin Chuyi.

"It's because I know you're not that kind of person that I'm willing to tell you this. Otherwise, I wouldn't be interested in talking to a cow. No matter who you're going to marry in the future, since you've decided to marry her, you have to treat her wholeheartedly after you marry her. Remember that?"

Lin Cheng nodded solemnly, "Yes, I understand, don't worry, second sister."

"It's best if you understand. Okay, I've told you everything I need to tell you. You can keep the things for now. After dinner, go back to your room and take a look. I've been talking for so long that I'm hungry. I don't know if the celebration banquet at Big Sister's place is ready..."

Lin Chuyi felt much better after complaining for a while. While talking, he walked briskly to the door, leaving the brother and sister standing there in deep thought.

After a long time, Lin Cheng came back to his senses from his trance, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He couldn't help but laugh at himself. He had been traveling for four years in vain, and had always been complacently thinking that he had grown a lot. However, now it seemed that he was still far from achieving his goal.

It's not that he had not witnessed the phenomena that his second sister just mentioned, but he had never really thought deeply about these issues from the perspective of a woman.
