Flowers in full bloom

After returning from the Marquis' Mansion, I went through my notes again and looked through the marriage contract given by Marquis Pei. Then, I put the marriage contract in the most inconspicuous corner.

My sister disdains marrying into a rich family, and so do I. As for my sister, I think she deserves the best man in the world. However, if the man doesn't like my sister, no matter how outstanding he is, I will discard him.

However, my sister was unexpectedly embarrassed about Mrs. Pei's insistence on letting us move into the Marquis' Mansion to take care of her. I know that she herself is unwilling to live in the Marquis' Mansion.

However, it should be for my studies and for me to have a good study environment, so she wanted me to live in the mansion alone. But if I have to separate from my sister, then no matter how good the study environment is, I don't want it.

For me, my sister is my primary motivation for studying. As long as I work hard, I can bear it even if the road to success is more tortuous and longer.

So I told my sister that if she went to stay at the Marquis's Mansion, I would go too, and if she didn't go, I wouldn't go either. No matter what, I wanted to be with her.

I was telling the truth. What I was thinking was, if my sister and I didn't go, then I would work hard and try to pass the imperial examination as soon as possible, so that I could find a good marriage for my sister in the future.

If I go, I can use the platform of the Marquis' Mansion to make myself successful first, and pass the exam to become the top scholar earlier, which is not bad. At that time, I can also examine the character of this Marquis's son.

If the character of this prince of the Marquis's mansion is good, I will help my sister get married to him when I have the ability. If the other party is not good, I also have the ability to take my sister away from the Marquis's mansion and find another marriage.

For my sake, my sister took me to live in the Marquis's Mansion and lived a life of dependence. As expected, my sister and I were still looked down upon, but I also began to slowly understand Brother Rong Jin's character.

His character and ability are OK. However, as a candidate for my sister's husband, I think he needs to be considered. Because in many things, I think he has not considered my sister, he needs to work harder.

Every time I go back to Qingyun Lane, I take out my grandfather's instructions and read them over again. I match his words and actions one by one according to his requirements. If they are OK, I put a check mark. If they are not OK, I put a cross mark.

I am very grateful for his help in my studies. He was the biggest help in my admission to the Imperial College. I will never deny this.

Moreover, he taught me archery. I really enjoyed it every time he took me out for horseback riding and archery. However, these advantages were not a plus point in my decision whether to make him my brother-in-law.

I will repay his help to me when I am able. However, I will never gamble my sister's life happiness for my own personal gain. I will not allow Dingbei Marquis's Mansion to use this favor to control my sister's marriage.

At the beginning, I didn't hate Miss Han, who had always been around Brother Rong Jin. I thought it was understandable that a girl dared to pursue the happiness she wanted.

However, when she always made things difficult and bullied my sister in her words and deeds, and Brother Rong Jin never spoke up to stop her or defend my sister, I was very dissatisfied with both of them.

I also disliked his attitude of neither responding nor rejecting Miss Han. He obviously didn't like her, but he enjoyed her attention. This is the behavior of a scumbag. I don't think he is worthy of my sister.

So when he asked me to help him pass on the cat's eye hairpin to my sister, I refused. Not only did I refuse to help him pass on the hairpin, I also stopped him from giving it to him himself.

I don’t know whether he was attracted to my sister or not, but no matter whether he was or not, I thought that it was just a momentary impulse and he never thought about giving my sister a future.

My grandfather once told me that a girl’s reputation is very important, and I would not allow him to damage my sister’s reputation on impulse.

I was more worried that his momentary impulse would bring disaster to my sister. So, I warned Brother Rong Jin to put away his momentary impulse.

Although I know that I am living under someone else's roof and shouldn't speak out like that. Although I know that I am still young and can't stand up for my sister, I can't wait any longer. I am worried that something will happen to my sister.

Fortunately, he listened to me and stopped making things difficult for my sister. And I also looked outside. In addition to Brother Rong Jin, there might be someone more suitable for my sister.

When I saw that Brother Jing'an was interested in my sister, I was actually very happy. I think Brother Jing'an is a good person, he is gentle and polite, and he comes from a scholarly family.

In addition, my sister has business dealings with the printing house of the Lord Jijiu, so I think, maybe, they will not look down on my sister. If my sister marries Brother Jing'an, she should be able to live a safe and smooth life.

Unfortunately, although Brother Jing'an is several years older than his sister, he is like a gourd with a sawed-off mouth. He has never expressed his feelings for his sister.

And my sister didn't seem to have any other thoughts about Brother Jing'an, so I let it go.

Later, I saw that Yunhai’s sixth brother, Yunhe, was interested in my sister, and I thought that perhaps, Yunhe could be a source of support for my sister.

He is good-looking and has a sunny and cheerful personality. More importantly, he has a good mouth and took the initiative to help his sister solve the problem of fishing salt.

Later, he would ask me about my sister's affairs under the pretext of sending me pills and getting close to me, but he knew when to stop and never went beyond that. I had a good impression of him.

Although Yunhai is a little annoying and always competes with me for the first place, both Brother Yunhe and him are upright people. I think there are similarities between brothers.

Moreover, I think that Madam Bai, who was able to educate Yunhai well, would not look down on my sister. In addition, the Dingxi Marquis Mansion has a good family background and the family members are harmonious, so it may be suitable for my sister.

So, I studied harder, striving for the first place, wanting to beat Yunhai in academics. Because I knew that Yunhai's academic performance was highly valued by his family elders, and he was very favored, so as long as he got the first place, his family would reward him.

So, every time I beat him, he would be unhappy when he returned home, and then everyone in his house would know about me.

By the way, they will also know my sister and know that I was raised by her. Then they will have an impression of my sister. I am trying hard to attract their attention.

Even though I am still young, I want to support my sister. I want the elders of Dingxi Marquis's Mansion to see my potential, and then they may be more likely to accept my sister as the daughter-in-law of Dingxi Marquis's Mansion.

Brother Yunhe is really good. I thought he might become my brother-in-law. But as time goes by, I find that Brother Rongjin is also growing up rapidly.
