Chapter 897: Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu (60)

"A two or three-year age difference is just right."

Madam Xu frowned slightly, "The Princess Consort didn't consider Yu'er, probably because she felt the Lin family was too small."

There's also a lack of understanding of Yu'er.

However, there's no need to rush.

Perhaps when fate brings you together, nothing can stop it.

The two sisters-in-law of the Xu family nodded upon hearing this.

If Xu Yuesheng hadn't already arranged a marriage...

They felt that a marriage alliance with the Prince Jing's mansion would be a good thing.

Unfortunately, the remaining two are still too young.

They naturally hoped that the Lin family could form a marriage alliance with the Prince Jing's Mansion.

……

Li Siqi was naturally aware of the Xu family's thoughts.

However, as far as she knew, the second son of Prince Jing was a suitable young master from a prominent family.

Although he was not the heir apparent, the Prince Jing's mansion did not raise him to be a spoiled brat.

He was a man of both literary and martial talents, and he was still capable of teaching.

In her and Xiao Huzi's opinion, although Prince Jing's second son was not bad, he was not particularly outstanding.

However, he was a person who was very particular about cleanliness.

At least there aren't any messy women around me.

Many women from prominent families have their eyes on his position as the principal wife.

As for who will win the prize.

It seems that the current emperor will still need to arrange the marriage.

Besides, she hasn't decided who to choose yet.

Naturally, he didn't take it to heart.

In the days that followed, she continued to busy herself with her own affairs.

She completely forgot that Grandmother Jia was waiting for her to go to the Rongguo Mansion.

Until Jia She and his family came to their door.

Li Siqi was quite surprised.

"Uncle, Aunt."

Upon seeing them enter, Li Siqi quickly greeted them with a bow, "Cousin Cong, Cousin Yingchun."

I was so surprised and rude of you, Uncle and Aunt, to come all this way!

"You don't have to be polite, family."

Jia She waved his hand and sat down.

Madam Xing came forward and took her hand, "It's been a while since I've seen you."

How have you been lately?

"Thank you very much, Aunt."

Li Siqi smiled and replied, "Yu'er is doing well."

Last time I went to Rongguo Mansion, I didn't visit my maternal uncle.

Please forgive Yu'er's rudeness, Uncle.

He then bowed to Jia She and begged for forgiveness.

"It's okay, I'm not blaming you."

Jia She shook his head. "Speaking of which, they are the ones who have wronged you."

And then there's that clueless brat, Baoyu.

You were right to leave.

When that rascal Baoyu goes mad, he can be utterly absurd.

"Isn't it because I'm used to being spoiled by my family?"

Madam Xing looked disdainful. "Willful and capricious, always wanting everything to go her way."

He throws a tantrum at home whenever things don't go his way.

He didn't pay attention in class and only cared about playing every day.

He's not even as good as his nephew, Lan Ge'er.

"You'll never amount to anything in this life."

"Yu'er, I heard that the Jia family's school is now under the supervision of your eldest uncle?"

Li Siqi asked softly, "I wonder if the Jia family can cultivate one or two talented individuals?"

"It's hard."

Jia She shook his head, "They're all a bunch of mediocre people."

Only Lan Ge'er was somewhat clever.

I hope he can be more ambitious in the future.

"If your eldest uncle thinks that Lan-ge'er is a promising talent, he might as well remind his maternal grandmother to find him a suitable husband."

Li Siqi said, "The younger generation in the family must be trained."

She looked at Jia Cong as she said this.

Jia Cong was an illegitimate son, and no one paid him any attention before.

He grew up in a wild and untamed way, so it's quite remarkable that he managed to grow into adulthood; he must have been very clever.

So he asked again, "Cousin Cong, what are your plans?"

“Cousin Yu’er, I will follow Father’s arrangements.”

Jia Cong gave a polite smile, "I'll run errands for Father."

"Cong'er is now managing the family head's general affairs."

Jia She then explained, "I have to work every day, and I also have a lot of things to do at home, so I can only rely on Cong'er to handle them."

"pretty good."

Li Siqi nodded, showing no intention of getting involved in the Jia family's affairs.

This time, however, the whole family showed up unexpectedly.

She was a little confused about their intentions.

"Cousin Yingchun."

Li Siqi smiled at her, "Why don't you stay and keep Yu'er company for a few days?"

"Ah, this..."

Jia Yingchun was both surprised and delighted, "Is...is it okay?"

As she spoke, she looked over at Jia She and Madam Xing.

"Yu'er, do you want Yingchun to stay?"

Jia She smiled and asked, "Am I bothering you?"

"Uncle, no, that won't happen."

Li Siqi gently shook her head, "With Cousin Yingchun keeping me company, Yu'er isn't so bored."

"I was just afraid of causing you trouble."

Mrs. Xing picked up the conversation, "We came to you this time because we wanted to ask for your help."

"You're too kind, Auntie."

Li Siqi replied, "I wonder what instructions my uncle and aunt have?"

"Actually, it's nothing special."

Jia She glanced at his children, "Cong'er and Yingchun are not young anymore."

Neither of the siblings were particularly outstanding.

It's not easy to find a spouse these days.

We'd like to trouble you, Yu'er, to help them find a suitable family for the brother and sister.

"Uncle, you, you're not joking?"

Li Siqi was truly stunned.

She never expected that he would contact her about the marriage between Jia Cong and Jia Yingchun.

"Yu'er, of course we weren't joking."

Madam Xing looked helpless. "As you know, very few people send invitations to our Rongguo Mansion."

We rarely get to attend banquets hosted by various prominent families.

"These children in the family..."

At this point, Madam Xing shook her head and couldn't help but speak the truth, "They've all been spoiled rotten."

"Actually, Yu'er is also very curious about what happened."

Li Siqi couldn't help but ask, "Although Cousin Yingchun and Cousin Tanchun are both illegitimate daughters..."

It's not that you can't attend banquets.

Why did my maternal grandmother never bring my cousins ​​to banquets?

It's alright if my maternal grandmother is too old to attend banquets.

Why don't my eldest and second aunts interact with the other ladies?

"Afraid of losing face."

Jia She responded directly, "In the past, the women of the Rongguo Mansion would attend banquets held by various families."

Ever since your mother got married.

They stopped attending banquets.

Our household will certainly not hold any flower banquet to invite ladies from other prominent families.

Li Siqi was taken aback. "Uncle, why did you say 'afraid of losing face'?"

“In the past, there was your former maternal aunt.”

Jia She explained, "There's Zhu Ge'er's wife, and your mother."

They frequently attended various banquets.

Your maternal aunt died in childbirth.

Your mother is getting married.

Zhu Ge'er's wife became a widow.

Therefore, the women of the Rongguo Mansion no longer attend major banquets.

It's rare to hear this kind of content.

Not to mention Li Siqi listened with great interest.

Even Jia Cong and Jia Yingchun listened attentively.

“Your maternal grandmother is old and doesn’t want to attend the banquet.”

Jia She's voice continued, "Your aunt is a newcomer to the family and doesn't know much about the various prominent families in the capital."

As for your second maternal aunt.

The women of the Wang family all adhered to the family motto: "A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent."

Therefore, they did not know how to interact with the women of various aristocratic families.

Your maternal grandmother was also afraid that they would lose face if they went out.

They were no longer allowed to attend any banquets, large or small, in the capital.

With each instance of not participating.

Naturally, no one else would send invitations to the Rongguo Mansion.

Not only do the elders stay home, but the younger generation has even less opportunity to go out.

This resulted in the Jia family becoming unfamiliar with other prominent families.

Even arranging a marriage alliance is not easy.
