After a few days, it was time for Li Jianzhang to take a day off.

That day, Li Jianzhang accompanied Liu Yuefu back to her parents' home.

Liu Yuefu wore a pair of gold hairpins inlaid with pink gems and eight-treasure patterns, and pink gold pearl earrings on her ears. She also wore a smoky pink narrow-sleeved long jacket embroidered with peony patterns and a light blue folded skirt, looking like a pretty young lady.

Li Jianzhang, who came hand in hand with Liu Yuefu, was wearing a round-necked robe with a lotus pattern and a green jade hair crown. He looked like a graceful and elegant gentleman.

They are truly a perfect match.

The two men walked into the hall of Liu's family. Mother Liu smiled as she watched the scene. These two men were really a perfect match and were worthy of being the husbands she had carefully chosen for her daughter.

Kang Miaoqing, who was standing next to Liu's mother, felt a little jealous when she saw the two of them coming hand in hand, but there was no trace of jealousy on her face.

"Yue Fu, come and sit next to mother." Mother Liu said with a smile, pointing to the chair on her right side.

"Okay." Liu Yuefu sat over.

Li Jianzhang also followed and sat next to Liu Yuefu.

"Yuefu, come and help A Niang and Miao Qing to take a look." Liu's mother smiled and handed three name cards to Liu Yuefu. "This family belongs to Zhao Zhiyi, the second son of the Zhao family in the south city of the capital. The Zhao family is a merchant family with only two sons. The family is quite wealthy and has not divided the family. However, this son has a concubine and dotes on her very much."

Liu Yuefu frowned slightly after hearing this, "He has a concubine before marrying his first wife?"

Mother Liu sighed softly, "Well, there is more than one, there are three concubines. But they are all lowly concubines, so just send them away."

"What's next?"

"This family is the Fan family, a farmer in the suburbs of the capital. Their son Fan Ming passed the imperial examination at the age of 24 and has a bright future. But his family is poor, and his parents and three brothers have to rely on farming to support his studies. If the family really had no money to support him, they would not have thought of arranging a marriage for him."

Liu Yuefu was a little confused and frowned as she asked, "This family is not bad, but why can't his family afford to support him out of nowhere?"

"His father fell down the mountain while working. Now he has to stay in bed all day and needs someone to take care of him day and night." Liu's mother said helplessly.

"If Miaoqing marries, won't she have to take care of the sick?"

Mother Liu nodded, "That's right."

"Then Fan Ming may be delayed due to mourning." Li Jianzhang interrupted in a deep voice.

"What about the next one?"

"This family is also a farmer family in the suburbs of Beijing. The parents have a small fortune of 18 acres of land. There are two sons in the family. The second son, Pan Yue, is handsome and talented. He passed the examination for a scholar at the age of and is now preparing for the examination for a juren."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuefu praised: "This is really good. The age is suitable, the appearance is good, and the person has a promising future."

Mother Liu smiled and said, "Is that right? I also think Pan Yue is very good, but the only bad thing is that his ex-wife left behind a pair of children, and this time he married a second wife."

this......

Liu Yuefu complained in her heart. These people either had concubines at home or were poor and had to take care of their sick fathers. Or they were second wives and had to raise someone else's children. Doesn't this mean they have to become stepmothers as soon as they enter the family?

How could Kang Miaoqing look down upon these people? She had always been arrogant and conceited, and she was afraid that she would not look down upon any of these people.

Liu Yuefu looked at Kang Miaoqing who was sitting opposite her, only to see that her face was as black as the bottom of a pot due to anger.

I'm afraid Kang Miaoqing is very angry right now.

"Sister Miaoqing, which one do you like?" Liu Yuefu asked.

"None of them are good. What kind of people are these?" Kang Miaoqing said angrily. She seemed unable to suppress the blazing fire in her heart that could burn everything.

"Aunt, Miaoqing doesn't like these people." Kang Miaoqing stood up and walked a few steps forward, took Liu's mother's hand and said coquettishly.

"You are sixteen years old this year. Your sister Yuefu is already married at this age. You have already chosen so many." Mother Liu touched Kang Miaoqing's head and advised earnestly.

"But, after choosing so many times, I still haven't found anyone suitable, right?" Kang Miaoqing said aggrievedly. Those people who came and went were either flawed in this way or that way. Why did she just fool around with me when she met me? The more Kang Miaoqing thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't suppress the fire in her heart.

"Miaoqing, you are the daughter of a criminal. This is your fate." Mother Liu was quite sad. She knew very well what Kang Miaoqing was thinking.

She practiced hard in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, participated in poetry competitions, and won the reputation of a talented woman. Isn't it just to find a good husband in marriage?

However, the sons of officials would never marry the daughter of a criminal as their wife, but would only take her as a concubine.

Concubines need to serve their mistress and make a living under her, and their lives are mostly difficult.

Liu's mother could only persuade Kang Miaoqing to accept her fate.

After hearing this, Kang Miaoqing covered her face and ran out.

However, Liu Yuefu noticed that when she ran out, she gave Li Jianzhang a very aggrieved look.

Li Jianzhang was so excited that his heart was moved.

When Liu's mother saw Kang Miaoqing running out like this, she sighed.

Liu Yuefu comforted her, "Mother, Sister Miaoqing just hasn't figured it out yet. Just let her think about it carefully. Maybe she will figure it out."

Although she said so, Liu Yuefu knew in her heart that Kang Miaoqing would not just accept her fate. Otherwise, how could she have ended up in such a situation in her previous life?

The three of them chatted for a while, and then it was time for lunch.

Liu's mother sent a mother to call Kang Miaoqing to the flower hall to have dinner together.

...

Liu family flower hall.

Kang Miaoqing walked in. Her eyes were slightly red and the tip of her nose was also red, as if she had just cried.

She walked straight to the right side of the round table in the flower hall, sat down next to Liu's mother, and faced Li Jianzhang.

And Liu Yuefu was sitting next to Li Jianzhang.

The maids of the Liu family came and went like a stream, bringing up roasted pork bones, three crispy dishes of the Shan family, fresh fish soup and other delicacies one by one, filling the table.

Not until Mother Liu started eating did everyone else start to eat.

Li Jianzhang always liked to show off in front of Liu's father and mother, hoping that the Liu and Wang families could help him when he needed it.

So, Li Jianzhang, with a gentle smile on his face, picked up food for Liu Yuefu very attentively.

Sometimes it's a piece of grilled meat, sometimes a piece of fish, and sometimes a piece of bamboo shoots.

Fortunately, Liu's mother asked the kitchen to prepare dishes that Liu Yuefu liked.

Furthermore, Liu Yuefu didn't want her mother to notice anything and worry about her.

Liu Yuefu had no choice but to eat the dishes that Li Jianzhang put into her bowl with a smile.

"Thank you, my dear. You should use more too." Liu Yuefu said as she picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and gave it to Li Jianzhang to comfort her mother.

When Liu's mother saw this, she was delighted.

Kang Miaoqing held the chopsticks tightly in her hand, getting tighter and tighter.

The scene before her made her eyes hurt.

Why? Why did she have to marry a man like that? Either he had a house full of beautiful women, or he had to take care of the sick, be a stepmother, or even have a disability.

Just because she is the daughter of a guilty minister, should she die? Should she be treated like this?

It is obvious that she is respectful and gentle outside, and is also known for her talent.

Kang Miaoqing glanced at Liu's mother imperceptibly. Was her aunt doing this on purpose? She didn't want to support herself in the first place.

But why could her own daughter marry a man like Li Jianzhang and they be so loving?

But I...

Liu Yuefu, all of this should belong to me, Kang Miaoqing!

Why can you be so happy?

Kang Miaoqing looked at Li Jianzhang deeply, and finally made up her mind to take the risk.

Everything she wanted, she would take back by herself!
