"Alright." Yaozi nodded, "Being able to serve beside the madam would be Jiajia’s good fortune." She said this while pulling her daughter up, "Quickly, bow to the madam."
This time, Yang Ruxin did not stop her, accepting the little girl’s bow with ease.
After dinner, everyone sat together for a casual chat.
"Madam, there’s something I need to discuss with you." Ye Family appeared a bit hesitant.
"Aunt Ye, please speak freely." Yang Ruxin nodded, "There’s no need for vagueness between us."
"It’s not a big deal, just little Qingqing had her coming-of-age ceremony last year, and..."
"Aunt Ye, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I nearly forgot." Yang Ruxin suddenly patted her forehead, "I was just going to ask you how you feel about little Qingqing’s marriage prospects?"
"Naturally, we’d hope that the madam could make the decision for her." Du Chengxiu spoke without hesitation.
Ye Family’s intention was suddenly caught in her throat. She had a preferred candidate in mind and had wanted to bring little Qingqing back to take a look, but her husband’s words effectively blocked her own.
"I’m not making decisions, only facilitating." Yang Ruxin smiled, "Previously, the Duchess of Duke Ning sent a message to me, seeking little Qingqing’s hand in marriage for her second grandson, Cui Xun."
"Duke Ning?" Du Chengxiu frowned slightly, "The Cui Family?"
Yang Ruxin nodded, "Cui Xun is nineteen this year, the eldest grandson of the second branch of the Cui Family. Although he cannot inherit the title, this child is quite ambitious. Though he hasn’t pursued a civil career, he is currently serving in the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Although his rank isn’t high right now, you know, being the Emperor’s personal guards, plus the resources of the Cui Family, he certainly has a bright future ahead."
Ye Family’s eyes widened instantly. The Cui Family is a First-rank Duke, an elite noble family. Marrying into such a family, even without doing anything, would guarantee a life of prosperity. More importantly, no one would dare to bully them, a far higher status than the family she had in mind.
Don’t think she’s being opportunistic; what mother doesn’t hope for a good life for her child?
Of course, this is just her thought. Ultimately, it depends on her daughter’s own will.
"Madam, the Cui Family truly is splendid, it is just that the gap between our families is significant." Du Chengxiu smiled, "Among the classes of scholars, farmers, craftsmen, and merchants, although we have some Silver, it’s still..."
"Little Qingqing is mine." Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Alright." Du Chengxiu was momentarily stunned, and then he slapped his thigh, "With the madam’s words, as long as Qingqing agrees herself, then it’s settled."
"If Du Qing doesn’t agree, I won’t bring it up." Yang Ruxin smiled, "That girl and that Cui Xun boy have crossed paths many times; though they met through conflict, they are now well-acquainted. If you agree here, I’ll send word back, and the Cui Family will send someone over to formally propose."
After returning to the room, Du Chengxiu glanced at his wife, "Don’t be short-sighted."
"What do you mean, husband? I was just considering that our daughter has grown up, and so..."
"I know about your contact with the Liu Family, don’t think I don’t." Du Chengxiu frowned, "Don’t let a few stable years make you forget who you are."
"I’m not allowed to just make contact?" Ye Family felt very wronged.
"Do you know the background of the Liu Family?"
"What background?" Ye Family frowned.
"The Liu family’s old matriarch’s maternal uncle’s concubine is a daughter of a distant relative of the Chu Family. Do you not know who the Chu Family is?" Du Chengxiu’s eyes bulged.
