Chapter 461 Looking at each other
"What does it mean to be attentive?" Wu Yunzhu didn't understand marriage yet, so she asked without any shyness.
Geng did not hide it from her. After all, she entered the Fourth Master's mansion at the age of thirteen, and her daughter was eight years old this year. It would be too late if she didn't see her daughter soon.
"Your father is a Beile. When you reach marriageable age, you can at least ask for the title of County Lady and have your own County Lady Mansion."
"When choosing a husband, one naturally has to consider his family background, appearance, character, and even his parents. Nothing can be wrong."
"The most important thing is, if you're serious about it, you should be dating now, and get married by the age of ten at the latest."
Wu Yunzhu was puzzled: "Why decide on it so early?"
She doesn't want to get married at the age of ten!
"Little fool, this decision is made for your own good." For the sake of her daughter, Geng had inquired about other people's practices and of course had some experience.
"After the engagement, the man must remain chaste, not take concubines casually, and wait patiently for marriage with you."
Wu Yunzhu didn't quite understand what Geng said.
"Silly girl, don't worry about these things. Mother will help you talk to Fu Jin," Geng patted her head lovingly, "You will definitely be happy for the rest of your life, just like Fu Jin."
In this mansion and even in the whole capital, who doesn’t envy Fu Jin’s life?
Being the only one with a son, your life is as good as a god's!
Every time Geng saw the Fourth Master and his wife getting along, she felt extremely envious.
She has no hope in this life, and it is impossible for her to meet anyone else.
But Wu Yunzhu is different. As the daughter of the Fourth Master, she has natural advantages.
As long as I help her plan well, I will definitely be able to let her live a life like a concubine.
The next day, after Lin Mingyan finished her daily affairs, she heard Du Juan say that Geng had come to visit.
She saw that it was raining outside and hurriedly asked someone to invite her to sit in the main room.
"Sister Geng, is there something wrong? Why are you here in this weather? Are your legs still hurting?" Lin Mingyan asked with concern.
Geng had recovered from her leg injury, but her bones still ached when it rained or snowed.
It did not affect her walking, but this old problem remained.
This kind of bone injury can only be relieved but not cured.
Since then, she rarely goes out in such weather.
Geng smiled and thanked her: "Thank you for your concern, Sister Niu Hulu. My leg is not seriously injured."
"Yesterday, Wu Yunzhu received so many rewards. She is so young and ignorant. I came here to express my gratitude."
"What's that? Those were given by the Fourth Master to his own daughter. Why should I thank him?" Lin Mingyan said hurriedly.
Geng was good in every way except that she was too polite. She would come to her to show her loyalty for the slightest thing.
Geng expressed her gratitude again, and indirectly mentioned Wu Yunzhu's marriage.
"Since Wu Yunzhu is eight years old now, it's time to discuss her marriage," Geng said cautiously, "Logically speaking, I have no right to interfere."
"But I raised her since she was a child, so she's no different from my own daughter."
"I can only go beyond the bounds of propriety to ask you a question."
Wu Yunzhu is less than a year older than Yaliqi, and they are already talking about marriage?
Lin Mingyan was unable to react for a moment, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face.
"Isn't this... a little too early?" she hesitated.
Geng: "It's getting late. It's urgent to meet, get engaged, and teach the man!"
In fact, if she were asked to say that the second princess should also be selected at the same time, otherwise all the good ones would have been chosen.
However, the Second Princess was the legitimate daughter after all, and it was not her business to comment, so she endured it and said nothing.
After listening to her, Lin Mingyan gradually accepted this statement.
"It's not for me to decide. After all, I can look at girls, but it's hard to say about boys," Lin Mingyan said, "but I will tell the Fourth Master."
"He cares deeply about his two daughters and will definitely take this matter to heart."
Geng felt much more relieved after receiving this reply.
After all, they are the Fourth Master's biological daughters, so he will definitely consider Wu Yunzhu carefully.
Lin Mingyan invited her to have lunch, and the two talked about the children. Only then did Geng leave with many thanks.
After she left, Lin Mingyan was a little dazed.
When the Fourth Master came back from his shift, he saw her sitting in the room stupidly without even turning on the lights.
Looking at her sitting there in the dark, my heart skipped a beat.
Could something have happened?
"Cha Cha, what's wrong?" He didn't dare to scare her and just called softly.
When Lin Mingyan came to her senses, she realized that it was getting dark outside and the room was extremely dark.
"Master, you're back?" she called out quickly. "Dujuan, why don't you light the lamp?"
Dujuan hurried in with a tinderbox, thinking that she had come to ask twice, but the master just sat there without moving.
Fortunately, the Fourth Master was not so strict about the rules in the inner courtyard. After seeing Dujuan light the lamp, he just waved his hand and let her go.
"What are you thinking about? You look so dazed," the Fourth Master pinched her face teasingly.
Lin Mingyan frowned and said, "Isn't it just the children's business?"
"The kids are in trouble again?" The Fourth Master breathed a sigh of relief.
He can still take care of the children's affairs.
Lin Mingyan spread her hands and said, "No, Geng came to tell me about Wu Yunzhu's marriage today..."
"How dare you! Is this something she can worry about?" The Fourth Master hated people crossing the line the most.
This Geng family seemed quite honest originally, but now they are becoming careless?
Lin Mingyan said hurriedly, "She's just worried out of concern. She's worried that if Wu Yunzhu is chosen too late, she won't be able to find a good family, so she came to ask."
In fact, it was because she had not changed her mindset. She still treated a seven or eight-year-old child as an elementary school student and had never thought about getting married.
If it were an ordinary wife of a prince in ancient times, she would indeed start looking for wives for her daughters.
Zhang Jia also told her last time that she had been chosen by Hongyu in the mansion, so his older sisters were probably already settled.
It was she who delayed her, and that's why Geng became anxious and risked her life to come and remind her.
The Fourth Master hummed, "Don't worry about these teas. I've already sent people to investigate among the disciples."
He didn't expect his son-in-law to be very capable, as long as he was a son of an official under his tutelage. He didn't dare to upset his daughters.
"Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lin Mingyan angrily hit him with her little fist.
The Fourth Master laughed and said, "I'm telling you that I'm already choosing a husband for Yaliqi. Aren't you going to cry to me?"
He had long discovered that Cha Cha found it difficult to accept the idea of children growing up and getting married.
He brought up this topic several times, but she looked at him with a "How is this possible" look and skipped the topic directly.
"Then... then who have you shown Wu Yunzhu so far?" Lin Mingyan asked Wu Yunzhu like a quail.
It was as if if she hadn't asked Yaliqi, she would still be a baby and would stay in her arms for the rest of her life.
