Chapter 373 Matchmaking
After Lei Nian'er returned to the Eastern Palace, Yun Guichi lived a peaceful and happy life as usual.
When Aunt Qiu was chatting with her that day, she mentioned the only thing that worried her.
"The third lady's baby is about to be born, and the first lady doesn't even have a marriage. If we delay any further, it will be even harder to find someone."
As soon as he mentioned it, Yun Guichi put his hand on his temples and said worriedly, "I know that, too."
"But men of equal family background cannot accept their wives running around outside and hanging out with a bunch of other men."
"It's not easy for Nian'er to climb to her current position. I won't ask her to resign just to urge her to get married."
"I feel those with lower family backgrounds are not worthy of her. After much selection, I finally chose her when she is 20. Now I have accepted her. As long as she likes her, it's fine as long as her family background is clean."
"If it really doesn't work, I'll accept my humble origins. As long as I know how to be warm and cold, I can get along with Nian'er."
Yun Guichi straightened up, frowned, and said to Aunt Qiu: "The key is that this child has no idea at all."
Aunt Qiu waved her round fan and smiled, "Marriage is always decided by parents and matchmakers. Even the marriage certificate does not need to be signed by the couple themselves."
She held out a hand and gestured.
"Madam, why don't you just marry her off? By then her status will be determined. How can you let her refuse?"
Yun Guichi's brows were still furrowed, and they furrowed even tighter. He waved his hands and said, "You don't understand Nian'er. That girl is not obedient now."
"If she does that, she'll go crazy."
"Besides, I just want her to be happy. I don't want her to be a bother and marry someone casually."
"What matters is that she likes it."
Aunt Qiu paused for a moment, then said calmly, "As Madam said, the eldest lady still hasn't gotten the hang of it."
"When she truly understands the love between a man and a woman, all the good boys have been engaged by other families, and we can't compete with them, right?"
"If we sign the marriage contract right away, it will be too radical. Madam, you should choose a man with good character and family background to get engaged, so that the two children can spend more time together."
"Perhaps the lady will find it good to have a husband and be willing to get married."
Yun Guichi still hesitated and said, "Then there is a high possibility that she doesn't like it..."
Aunt Qiu waved her fan and shook her head, saying, "That's wrong. Madam is still too accommodating to the child. We get married to live together."
"There are a few couples who are together because they truly love each other. Haven't they supported each other all their lives? As for those who love each other or not, those who like each other or not, all choose to take concubines."
"Marry a virtuous wife and a beautiful concubine."
"With the Madam's current status, even if her son-in-law dislikes her, he won't dare to do anything. Madam, just rest assured."
"And when we were selecting people, didn't we also keep a close eye on them? We had to choose someone with good character who wouldn't do anything stupid to mistreat the lady."
Yun Guichi was slowly convinced.
Ordinary people get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Those who are unlucky have to observe mourning for three years before getting married, but the choice of the fiancé has been decided.
She began to get anxious about Lei Nian'er's age, so she asked, "Don't you have anyone to choose from? When choosing a husband for Nian'er, the first thing to do is not to delay her work."
Aunt Qiu's eyes lit up, and she sat up straight, with a more sincere smile on her lips.
She said, "Madam, you know that my mother's family is a distant relative of Concubine Qiu. My nephew is not worthy of being the eldest lady."
"But the Qiu family has a child who has just finished his mourning period. It is hard to say whether a woman can get married if she becomes an official now, but he is a child who is willing to accept his wife as an official."
