Before lunch, Madame Luo called Chen Zhengmin over. Since she was already tempted, she might as well be decisive. She calmly inquired about her third brother's situation and Chen Zhengmin's background. Therefore, even Jingwan, who was sitting quietly next to her, did not notice anything amiss. As for the person being inquired about, he was not aware of it at all.
Because he had heard his grandmother mention this grandaunt more than once, he knew that they had a good relationship. However, after his grandaunt got married, they rarely met, especially in the following ten years. Therefore, he respectfully and politely answered all of Madame Luo's questions. It could be said that he did not hide anything and was very detailed.
Madame Luo was a little sad, "I don't know if we will have a chance to meet again in this lifetime."
"Grandfather said that he may return to the capital again. Grandaunt, you will definitely have a chance to meet Grandfather again. Please take care of yourself."
"That's good, that's good." Madame Luo told him a few more things, such as not to study too hard, to rest early especially at night, and not to be cooped up at home all the time. He could also take some time to go out and walk around. If he encountered any problems, he could go directly to Luo Shangshu. If he was not there, he could also go to her. She would leave the questions for the evening and have someone send them back to Chen Zhengmin the next day.
Chen Zhengmin was naturally very excited. His grandaunt was the third place winner and had accumulated experience over the past few decades. Last time, he only gave him a little advice and he benefited a lot. However, "Will it be too much trouble for grandaunt?" His face was slightly red.
Was he embarrassed? Jingwan thought of herself as a "thick-skinned" person. It was rare to see a man blushing, and it was only because he might be troubling others. In her opinion, it was quite rare and she could not help but look at him a little more. However, knowing that he was troubling others, he was still honest about his desire. This kind of person was not bad.
Madame Luo glanced at Jingwan secretly and smiled, "It's not troublesome. It's just a small matter. Your grandaunt will also check on your fourth uncle and your cousins every day." Luo Peishan was willing to help talented juniors, not to mention the eldest grandson of his own brother. If Wan Wan could be engaged to him, his master would definitely do his best.
Because it was just "incidental", it made Chen Zhengmin feel less guilty.
There were other people around, so Madame Luo couldn't ask for Jingwan's opinion, so she didn't mention it for the time being.
The trip to the Chen Clan could be said to be a joyous one. As for the displeasure in the hearts of those few people, who would care about it?
When they left the Chen family, Jingwan was still kept by Madame Luo's side, and no one was left to serve them in the carriage.
"Wan Wan, how are you getting along with the Chen sisters?"
"They are all very easy to get along with." The first branch of the Chen Family did not have as many people as the Luo Family. Moreover, the first three cousins of the Chen Family were already married, while the last two were still relatively young. Therefore, there were only three or four people who were close to the age of Jingwan, including the second branch of the Chen Family. Moreover, their temperament was relatively good. Except for a little cousin who always stared at her jewelry and said flattering words as if they were free, the only one who almost directly asked for it was a little annoying. Jingwan smiled and sent her away because she knew that once this kind of thing started, it might be out of control. She was not a child of wealth.
It was just that the little girl would say that she was stingy behind her back.
Jingwan was right. In fact, the little cousin was the daughter of Madame Yun. A woman who was unscrupulous and shameless, how well could she teach her daughter? While the little lass was complaining to her mother, the other girls were telling their respective grandmothers about the matter with ugly expressions on their faces. Thinking about that scene, they were so ashamed that they were unable to show their faces.
Not only was Madame Chen furious, but even Second Madame Chen was also very angry. Because she was dissatisfied with Madame Yun, she didn't care and let her do whatever she wanted. However, now she couldn't continue to indulge, otherwise, if she made the first branch unhappy, the entire second branch would be implicated. She called Madame Yun and her daughter over, scolded them, and grounded them for a month.
It must be said that the little girl was also unruly in front of Second Madame Chen. She shouted on the spot, and then Second Madame Chen slapped her and threw her into the temple, where she was locked up for three days. Madame Yun was dissatisfied and angry. As a result, her daughter was locked up for fifteen days. Only then did Madame Yun and her daughter know that they were afraid. Therefore, in this world, it was really easy for a mother-in-law to punish her daughter-in-law. She didn't even need to find a reason or an excuse. Madame Yun didn't cherish Second Madame Chen's indifference before, so from today on, she was destined to be in deep trouble in the future.
Madame Yun didn't dare to shout at Second Madame Chen anymore, but in her heart, she deeply hated Jingwan. This was a new hatred that hadn't been settled yet.
Jingwan also didn't know. If she knew, she would probably feel very wronged. This enemy really came a little inexplicable.
"Wan Wan, what do you think of your cousin Min?"
"En?" Jingwan was a little confused and didn't react for a moment.
"Grandmother is saying to let your cousin Min be your husband. What do you think?" Madame Luo was full of smiles as she teased.
Jingwan was slightly startled. Her first reaction was that this was too fast. Before she came, they were still talking about her marriage. When she went back, they might have already decided on a fiancé for her. "At first glance, it's not bad, but because it involves marriage, granddaughter feels that the first impression isn't that important." Jingwan said honestly.
As for cousins, that was the norm in this world. Moreover, they weren't considered direct cousins. Their bloodline was diluted by the previous generation, so they were further apart. The possibility of hereditary diseases should also be reduced.
"En, you're right. We're not in a hurry. In the future, grandmother will think of a way to let you two meet a few more times. Let your grandfather help you take a good look. If Wan Wan is satisfied, then we'll settle on him. If not, then we'll find someone else. However, we can't just focus on Min Geer alone. While grandmother is still able to walk, you should go to more banquets in the future. As for your grandaunt, I'll also ask her to help you find a suitable candidate. "
"Thank you, grandmother." Jingwan knew that in fact, her grandmother didn't like banquets that much. However, for her, she didn't hesitate to go to such lengths, even breaking traditional etiquette, to secretly help her cover up. How could she not be touched? Her eyes were slightly moist.
Madame Luo patted her hand. "Our Wan Wan deserves the best."
In her previous life, there was a period of time when Jingwan complained that the heavens were unfair. Why did they give her a happy family, but in the blink of an eye, it was shattered. That scumbag loved power so much, but why couldn't he just pretend and endure it for a lifetime? It was fine if he cheated, but for the sake of a fetus that they didn't even know if it was a boy or a girl, he actually harmed her mother. He used all his corruption and perverted the law to keep a mistress outside. Not only that, he was also involved with the underworld, gambling, and drugs. When the higher-ups started to investigate him, he suffered retribution and died a violent death. His originally wealthy family was completely shut down, and there was a pile of evidence. After his death, he was still able to "perform meritorious deeds." The underworld leaders were in trouble. When they couldn't find their creditors, they went to them. Grandma had hurt her body to protect her, and for half a year, she had to suffer and despair. Those who had never experienced it would never understand how it felt.
But later on, Jingwan felt that she was lucky. She had a grandmother who pulled her back from the edge of the abyss. After her grandmother passed away, she, who was muddle-headed, received spiritual comfort in a different world. What was even more fortunate was that she met another grandmother whose temperament and experience were completely different from her grandmother's, but who also did her best for her. The other relatives around her also treated her very well. If this wasn't considered lucky, then there weren't many lucky people in the world.
When she returned to the Luo family, Madame Luo unexpectedly received an invitation from the Sun family's Duchess Ding. It turned out that the Sun Yijia's banquet tomorrow was only a part of the Sun family's banquet. After knowing that the wife of the Minister of Rites was coming to the capital, the Sun family sent another invitation. Before that, Jingwan's aunt, Madame Wang, had already received the invitation.
As for the younger generation of Luo Jingying, they were completely unaware of this. They were all proud of receiving an invitation from Sun Yijia.
The entire banquet invited almost all the noble madams and unmarried girls in the capital.
