Chapter 749 The best friend of the reborn daughter of the Duke's Mansion (8)
"Brother, if you like someone, you should say it openly." Su Xiangran looked at her brother and sighed, "You have been secretly drawing other girls in your room.
Your mother asked you, but you didn't tell her. If she is really a good girl, what if someone else got there first?"
The matter of the portrait is the memory of the original owner's first life. According to this timeline, Su Ruoxu should have just started to paint it, but after giving it some thought, it seems that the other party can do it!
"I didn't, I just painted peach blossoms and didn't have time to paint people! How do you know..." After Su Ruoxu blurted out his words, he met his sister's half-smile.
And his mother looked at him with a look of satisfaction, and he suddenly had a feeling of "what did I say".
"Brother, look, it's all said now, isn't it?" Su Xiangran said with a snicker, "It's actually not that difficult, right?"
Su Ruoxu's expression was a little stiff for a moment, and he didn't know whether he should continue. After all, for a family like theirs, there were many other things to consider besides mutual love when considering marriage.
Moreover, he was not sure whether the woman would accept him.
But seeing the expectant looks from his sister and mother, he still said, "Well, since you all already know, I'll tell you. Her name is Lin Wan, and she's the sister of a classmate of mine."
Then Su Ruoxu began to talk about this young lady of the Lin family. She had been in the officialdom for two or three years. As he spoke, he observed the expressions of his mother and sister.
When he found that they did not look at him with disdain because of Lin Wan's ordinary background, he mustered up the courage to say a lot.
After her son finished speaking, Mrs. Su said, "From what you said, this Miss Lin is fine except for her slightly inferior family background."
When Su Ruoxu heard what the mother and daughter said, his heart seemed to be lifted again.
"Don't worry, I'll ask a matchmaker to go to the Lin family and ask them. If they are willing, I'll arrange for someone to come and propose marriage." Mrs. Su said to her son, "As the saying goes, a good wife brings less trouble to her husband.
A family like ours may seem like a high-ranking family, but in fact, we are more or less not in the eyes of those aristocratic families. It would be better for you to use your marriage to get close to a reliable Yue family.
It would be better to just find a girl who is well-educated and well-mannered. A good mistress can bring prosperity to three generations."
Su Xiangran understood that her mother was playing a big game, not fighting for the present but looking to the future. After all, it takes at least three generations to accumulate a family's foundation.
"Thank you for your help, mother!" Su Ruoxu was very happy, "What about father?"
Madam Su waved her hand and said, "Your father also means the same thing, but we still have to wait for the Lin family to get news on this matter."
After talking with his mother and sister for a while, Su Ruoxu went back to his own yard.
"Mom, what about Dad..." Su Xiangran was still a little worried.
Mrs. Su smiled but said nothing, but from her expression, it was clear that she had already made up her mind.
Yes! A man who loves face! I said it early on, but I can't find an in-law who loves to show off in front of him!
After all, his daughter is already engaged to the third prince, and he feels three inches shorter than his own son-in-law. If he were to find a high-ranking relative now, it would easily arouse suspicion from his superiors, and he would be unable to hold his head high.
However, Mrs. Su did not say this in front of her daughter. After all, her husband's image still needs to be maintained.
Su Xiangran came out of her mother's yard and got on the carriage that Qing'e had prepared long ago.
Today she was going to visit her farm outside the city and stay there for a few days, leaving time and space for the "couple" who were planning to "cultivate" their relationship.
Oh! No, the correct way to say it should be "three people".
Because Yin Yufei, who was staring at his elder sister all day long, was no pushover either.
"Miss, we are going to stay at the manor for a few days!" Qing'e said with some worry, "The third prince and you have been on two trips but both were unsuccessful. What if he comes to see you in the next few days?"
"It's okay. Mother will write to Concubine Jing and tell her that I'm going to the farm to recuperate." Su Xiangran said confidently, "Also, the Third Prince will be very busy during this period and won't have time to visit me."
At this time, the third prince Zhao Jiaheng, who was said by Su Xiangran to be very busy, was telling his mother, Concubine Jing, about him and Miss Yin.
"Based on my understanding of women, Miss Yin is definitely interested in me!" Zhao Jiaheng said proudly, "However, Miss Yin is not bad either. If we talk about liking someone, I would definitely prefer a gentle and considerate woman."
Concubine Jing thought for a moment and said, "The second Miss Yin's biological mother is a woman from Jiangnan, so she is naturally gentle to the core. But you should still consider the overall situation. If that day comes, there will be all kinds of women!"
"That's what she said, but if she came up to me?" Zhao Jiaheng hesitated and said, "It's not a big deal for two women to share one man!"
