Chapter 944: Chapter 946, Marriage Decided (2nd Update)
All the members of the Yun Family were present.
The people from the Chen Family were all haggard, and Chen Danyan was no exception.
Yun Jinnian looked on with deep concern...
After the funeral of Elder Chen, May arrived in a flash.
May 5th, Dragon Boat Festival.
Eating zongzi, watching dragon boat races, wearing multicolored cords, Yun Jinnian received many zongzi and multicolored cords, and on the sixth of May, she returned the favor by sending back two Snow Lotus Detoxification Pills.
Unexpectedly, she received gifts in return.
"Commandery Princess, will you send back gifts again?" Hemei asked with a smile.
Yun Jinnian was taken aback, then shook her head slightly.
On May 10th, Yun Qi met with Kang Ju, Qin Xiulian, and Mu Hanqi. After a conversation, Yun Qi could see that the three were knowledgeable and talented.
"Yes, invite the matchmaker to bring up the proposal!"
Thus, he approved the marriages of Yun Zuomo with Kang Ju, Yun Qingqing with Qin Xiulian, and Yun Qingzhi with Mu Hanqi.
The three were overjoyed.
They were all from poor families, and when they arrived in the Capital City, they almost couldn’t even afford to eat. It was Liao Shijie who took them in, giving them a place to stay.
Also, because of Feng Wushuang, they realized that calligraphy and selling paintings are not undignified or shameful, so they began painting and selling their works, unexpectedly finding success. They earned enough silver to buy a house in the Outer City, not very big, but it offered freedom and tranquility. They hired a few maids, older servants, and pages, and with people managing the household for them, they could invite friends over for tea and meals, and study together, benefiting in many ways.
The only thing missing was a romantic companion to share their achievements with.
Therefore, Liao Shijie tentatively suggested it, and not only them but many others were intrigued.
They were lucky enough to meet their future wives first at the Liao Residence.
With Yun Zihan as a shining example and the presence of the Commandery Princess, everyone was very happy.
Now they had the approval of their future father-in-law.
Respectfully, they responded, "Yes!"
The marriages of Yun Zuomo, Yun Qingqing, and Yun Qingzhi were arranged quickly, and Mrs. He fell ill upon hearing this.
She had already planned to wait for the three to grow a little older and then sell them for a good price, but Yun Qi had acted first.
Enraged, she smashed several teacups, "Find out what on earth is going on?"
Tianmi nodded slightly.
She returned shortly with news, "Madam, it is said that it was the Commandery Princess and the Second Miss who matched them, with the selections made by the Second Master-in-law and Master Feng together!"
Nowadays, Feng Wushuang is the Minister of Rites and an official of the second rank.
Young in age, it seems only a matter of time before he enters the cabinet as the prime minister.
"Wretch, wretched woman!"
Mrs. He grew increasingly resentful, wishing she could strangle Yun Jinnian to death.
Xu Xinmo, however, used the marriage of the three Yun girls as a joke to tell Old Madam Yun, "Grandmother, what was Cousin thinking, finding such families for Cousin Sisters, and Second Uncle even agreed!"
Too unexpected.
Old Madam Yun sighed softly, "I had thought they might marry into prestigious families to provide you with some support, but now it seems that won’t be the case!"
But carefully considering it, actually marrying the three Yun girls to aspiring scholars isn’t bad. Though their family backgrounds are humble, if they have real knowledge and someone to sponsor them, there’s no fear they can’t achieve greatness in the future!
"Grandmother, you always think of me!"
She’s already fourteen and will turn fifteen next year, reaching marriageable age, yet no one from the Xu Family has come to take her back, nor did they even acknowledge her birthday, which infuriated her.
Old Madam Yun chuckled. After carefully taking care of her health these days, she had become much healthier and more spirited.
Holding Xu Xinmo’s hand, "Silly child, you’re Grandmother’s direct granddaughter, who else would I cherish if not you!"
