Tian Manman sat alone in the inner courtyard for a while. When Xu came back, she had already thought of how to achieve her goal.

But what she never expected was that men and women would sit at different seats...

"Third sister-in-law, why don't third brother and Hongdou come to eat?" Tian Manman was puzzled when she was invited to the table by Xu, and found that only the two sisters-in-law were there in the place where wine and food were set.

"Oh, they are eating in the front yard. Your third brother said that in the capital, women eat and drink in the inner yard, so they have to follow the elegant way of separating men and women at separate tables."

"As for Hongdou, she is used to sticking to her brother. Fortunately, she is young and has some friendship with the two young masters of the Tan family, so we let her serve as a receptionist in the front yard."

Xu glanced at Tian Manman. Over the past few years, this sister-in-law seemed to have become more thoughtful, but also seemed to have not grown much...

Generally speaking, they would send news to Tian Manman and the fourth brother half a month before entering the city.

Since the fourth brother does not take a day off, Tian Manman should ask someone to pick him up at the city gate and take him home or to the hotel where he is staying.

If she knew that the third branch had its own house, she should have taken the initiative to meet her "brother and sister-in-law", but Tian Manman just waited for her brother and sister-in-law to come.

This matter is very small, so small that you would lose face if you care about it. At the same time, this matter is also very big, so big that you can use it to make a fuss and kill her and Yu Heng.

Xu just muttered a few words secretly. She had a bad impression of Tian Manman, but they had become a family, and Xu didn't want to offend someone innocently.

The expression on Tian Manman's face was a little lost, but he quickly recovered and asked Yu Songlai directly.

"Third sister-in-law, Xiaosong has passed the imperial examination. Isn't it time to talk about marriage?" Tian Manman had heard her mother-in-law complain before, saying that the third wife was too ambitious and insisted on passing the examination before letting her grandson get married.

Mrs. Xu hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then defended her son: "It wasn't because of the imperial examination that I didn't marry him before. I was mainly worried about delaying his studies, and I was also afraid that Xiaosong's future was uncertain and would delay others."

"Third sister-in-law, I do have a candidate here, from this state capital. Do you remember the lady you met when you and Third Brother went to visit Yi Mi at my place?"

Tian Manman didn't care what excuses Xu made, she just happily put forward the reasons she had thought of.

"...That person is not suitable." Xu choked. She felt uneasy when she thought of the character of Miss Xu Liu, not to mention the other party's identity and family background.

"It's not the one from the Xu family. I heard that the sixth young lady of the Xu family will marry into a noble family in the capital in the future." Tian Manman waved her hand. She wanted to throw out some ideas, but she didn't want to offend the third branch.

Firstly, although she had come into contact with Miss Xu Liu several times, Tian Manman actually didn't like this arrogant Miss Xu Liu very much.

Secondly, the third branch has a bright future, and she would be crazy to offend her own family for outsiders.

"I'm talking about a young lady who's staying at the Xu family. She's also the sister-in-law of the master of the Xu family." Tian Manman spoke of this lady with a look of eagerness and satisfaction on his face.

"It is said that the wife that the Xu family's grandfather married is the daughter of an old friend of the Xu family. These two sisters are both old-born daughters. Their parents barely raised them and then died."

"The eldest wife of the Xu family is heroic and good at managing the household. Her younger sister is a little delicate, but she is in good health, but she is a little spoiled."

"This year, the second young lady is coming of age. The eldest wife of the Xu family has said that she will find a perfect marriage for the second young lady. She will give her sister a dowry of ten thousand taels of silver and a beautiful wedding dress."

When Tian Manman said this, she was truly envious of the younger sister of the eldest wife of the Xu family. Even though both her parents had passed away, this young lady had never suffered any grievances.

"I know that Third Sister-in-law's family is not short of money now, but this Second Miss is really good. She is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Most importantly, she is also good-looking."

It was just a drop in the ocean, but the more Tian Manman talked about it, the more he felt that it was feasible.

When Xu heard the word "Xu family", she wanted to refuse, but she was afraid that if she refused too quickly, it would arouse the suspicion of her sisters-in-law, so she patiently listened to her finish her words.

At the end of the conversation, Xu found that she actually did put a little effort into it. She was so scared that she quickly picked up the chopsticks and picked up a few bites of food for Tian Manman.

"Sister-in-law, this lady you mentioned sounds good to me, but she may not be suitable."

"You don't know, Hongdou went out to play with her father before, and accidentally offended the Sixth Miss of the Xu family, and the two girls had a fight in the street."

Xu thought about it and finally used the conflict between her daughter and the other party as the reason for her refusal.

She never expected that this reason was exactly what Tian Manman wanted.

"Well, I know about this. The Xu family found out that we are a family, so they sent someone to beg me to help mediate."

"I think the fight between two kids is just a small matter. I didn't agree or refuse. But I thought about Xiaosong's marriage and thought I could get in touch with the Xu family."

"Third sister-in-law, that girl is really good. If you don't believe me, you can find a chance to take a look at her." Tian Manman almost patted his chest to make the promise.

"I will discuss it with the child and his father, and then give my sister-in-law an answer." Xu seemed to be convinced. After hesitating for a moment, she finally gave this answer.

Tian Manman was very satisfied with Xu's reaction, so she took the initiative to tell her more about the girl.

"The eldest wife of the Xu family is named Zou, and her maiden name is Honglian. The second Miss Zou is called Qinglian."

"It is said that the mother had been infertile for many years. After praying for a child at Guangyou Temple, she dreamed of twin lotus flowers when she returned home. That’s how these two sisters were born."

"The Zou family originally made their fortune by selling horses in Jining. Later, the control of horses became stricter, so the Zou family switched to the business of buying and selling antiques and rare stones."

"It just so happens that I'm on the right track with the Xu family. Oh, the Xu family is in the pawnshop business, in the prefectures and counties and..."

Tian Manman chattered on and on, telling her sister-in-law Xu everything she knew about the eldest lady of the Xu family and her sister.

However, Xu's soul had already passed away.

When she heard the word "Jining", she suddenly filled in the missing part of her memory.

Xu recalled that her father left home that year and stayed overnight in her mother's yard before leaving. That night, she had a fever and slept in the inner room of her mother's room for the first time.

She seemed to hear her parents talking in a daze, but she had been afraid of her father since she was a child, and she didn't dare or want to get up to meet him, so she pretended to sleep.

I was confused and heard my mother asking my father where he was going and why he was going there in person.

At that time, my father had gradually handed over the business to my eldest brother. He wanted to slowly retire and educate my second brother, who was raised by my stepmother to be a bit unruly.

Dad said, "I have been looking for something for a long time, and finally got some news. Second Brother Zou was injured. I have to go to Jining in person to check the situation."

I didn’t expect that my second brother’s son actually married a girl from the Zou family. So did they get in touch with the Zou family later when they went to find my father, or was my father’s departure a premeditated plan?
