“Sister-in-law, you have to believe that fate is predestined. The fate of husband and wife was already predestined. Let’s treat them with care. If they have this fate, it will bear fruit.”
Madam Zhao smiled. She was also happy that Chen Daniu’s marriage was settled.
She understood how worried Madam Qian was.
Everyone wanted their daughter to marry into a good family.
If she went to a better family, her life would be easier.!!
Madam Qian smiled and nodded. She agreed with Madam Zhao.
Madam Qian stretched out her hand and counted with her fingers. “Then I’ll make two sets of good clothes for Daniu. I’ll get my husband to make a few silver hairpins for her and make two pairs of bracelets. When the time comes, we’ll wear one.”
Madam Zhao nodded. “That works.”
Madam Qian said again, “Sister-in-law, can you ask Third Sister for a favor? Third Sister is good at embroidery. I want to ask her to embroider some flowers for Daniu.”
Madam Zhao agreed with a smile. “That’s good too. Third Sister’s embroidery is good. If you embroider some flowers, the clothes will look good too.”
“Go back and talk to Daniu too. Even though they haven’t met yet, let Daniu know what kind of person he is to prepare herself.”
Madam Zhao said, and Madam Qian nodded repeatedly.
“This is the first time my Daniu has a date. My heart is beating very fast. I’m afraid that I didn’t do well somewhere. Sometimes, when I think about it, I want to cry. I feel that everything was just yesterday, but the child who was obedient in my arms back then is already a big girl.”
Madam Qian said with a sigh.
She looked at Madam Zhao and sighed again. “Sister-in-law, sometimes I feel that time is very slow, but sometimes I feel that it’s too fast. When I look back, half a lifetime has passed.”
Madam Zhao agreed gently. “That’s right. I can’t help but look back. If I look back, I realize a long time has passed.”
Madam Qian looked at Madam Zhao and smiled. “Sister-in-law, my eldest daughter is about to meet someone. What about Xiaoling? Do you have any plans?”
Su Xiaoling was a few months older than Chen Daniu.
She was also fifteen years old this year, which was about the right age for a matchmaking session.
Madam Zhao smiled and said, “I won’t hide it from you. I want to wait another two years. I can’t bear to part with her, so I’ll send her when Third Sister turns sixteen.”
Madam Zhao didn’t want Su Xiaoling to meet someone too early because if they met and got engaged, they would get married in two years at most. Once they got married, they would get pregnant and have children.
For some reason, she felt that this was not good. She hoped that Su Xiaoling would be a little older. She would be engaged when she was sixteen and get married when she was nineteen. When she got pregnant and had children, she would be twenty years old.
She didn’t know why she thought that, but it was in her mind.
Of course, she couldn’t say that to anyone. She could only say that she couldn’t bear to part with the girl.
Madam Qian smiled. “That’s good too. Third Sister doesn’t have to worry about getting married.”
The Su family now had two Elementary Scholars.
One did not have to worry about marrying the sister of a scholar.
So even if Su Xiaoling got engaged two years later, it wouldn’t be too late. There were still many families who wanted to marry her.
Madam Qian told Madam Zhao many things.
The two of them talked for an entire hour. It was time to prepare dinner before Madam Qian returned.
At night, Su Xiaolu went to help Su Xiaoling.
She had secretly looked at Su Xiaoling several times. Her third sister was a fair-skinned and beautiful lady.
Their skin color had been inherited from Madam Zhao. Their skin was fair.
Su Xiaoling had a gentle temperament and was good at cooking. She quietly cut the vegetables and stir-fried them. She was very eye-catching.
Su Xiaoling was very helpless. She looked at Su Xiaolu and said, “Xiaolu, is there something on my face?”
“You’ve looked at me many times today.”
Su Xiaoling looked at Su Xiaolu. Why was Xiaolu looking at her like that?
There was definitely nothing on her face. She had looked in the bronze mirror.
Su Xiaolu rolled her eyes playfully and said with a smile, “Sister, I’m dazzled by your beauty. You’re so beautiful. I can’t get enough of you. I used to practice martial arts every day and didn’t have time to look at you. Today, I suddenly realized that my third sister is so beautiful.”
In the blink of an eye, it was time for marriage. Even if Madam Zhao wanted to stay for another two years, her sister would be someone else’s wife in three to five years.
Su Xiaolu felt sour just thinking about it. She also felt that time passed so quickly.
It was as if she was still a baby yesterday and was still in her sister’s arms. Today, they had already grown up.
Her sister, who was six years older than her, was also of marriageable age.
She wondered who she would marry in the future.
Su Xiaolu looked at Su Xiaoling with a smile. Su Xiaoling said helplessly, “You’re the sweetest. You always say good things to make me happy.”
Su Xiaoling blushed slightly. She was a big girl and was no longer as indifferent to beauty as before. Now, she cared a lot about her face.
Anyway, being praised made the heart happy. There was joy, and there was shyness.
“Sis, you’re accusing me. I’m telling the truth. I’m not coaxing you.”
Su Xiaolu was very serious.
Su Xiaoling’s eyes were filled with smiles. “Alright, alright, I believe you.”
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao listened to their two daughters’ teasing. The husband and wife looked at each other, smiled tacitly, and remained silent.
Su Xiaolu smiled and focused on helping the fire.
However, in her heart, she thought that when Su Xiaoling dated in the future, she would definitely investigate the other party’s background thoroughly!
After dinner, Madam Zhao asked Su Xiaoling to come to the room.
Su Xiaoling didn’t know what was going on and subconsciously glanced at Su Xiaolu.
She suddenly remembered that Su Xiaolu kept looking at her when she was cooking at night. Now that her mother had something to tell her, did Xiaolu know something?
Su Xiaoling and Madam Zhao entered the house. Madam Zhao held her hand and said, “Third Sister, I have something to tell you. Daniu will be seeing someone next month. She’ll bring two sets of clothes over in two days. Can you help embroider some flowers?”
Su Xiaoling asked in surprise, “Daniu is going to see someone?”
Then her face heated up. She realized what was going on. Daniu was going to talk about marriage. If they were satisfied, she was going to get engaged.
Su Xiaoling nodded. “Okay.”
Madam Zhao smiled and said, “Third Sister, you’re about the same age as Daniu. I-”
Without waiting for Madam Zhao to finish, Su Xiaoling hurriedly said, “Mother, I’m not in a hurry. I still want to accompany Father and Mother for a few more years.”
Su Xiaoling was afraid that she would have to find someone too. Sooner or later, she would have to, but she hoped that this day would come later.
Madam Zhao patted the back of Su Xiaoling’s hand and said, “That’s what I thought too. Let me tell you so that you can feel more at ease. Daniu is a little younger than you. When she went for matchmaking, I was worried that your imagination would run wild. Now that I know your opinion, I’m relieved.”
Su Xiaoling heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you, mother.”
“It’s all right now. Go wash up and go to bed.”
Madam Zhao said with a smile.
Su Xiaoling nodded and got up to leave. After getting up, she involuntarily patted her chest as if she was relieved.
