Reborn to be married, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion is so sweet
Chapter 115 Family Background and Personality
Lin Wan felt relieved when she saw Dong Yue chatting and laughing with a group of young ladies.
Those who came to the flower-viewing party this time were all women from civil officials' families, not any nobles or the like. Even Lin Wan was only able to come because of the invitation given by Dong Yue, Liu Ping and Liu Qian. Unknowingly, her status became the highest among these women.
Although everyone was respectful to her intentionally or unintentionally, Lin Wan did not act superior. She was humble and polite to everyone who came to talk to her.
After everyone had a chat, they all became more sincere about Lin Wan. Originally, Lin Wan was not very prominent when she was in the boudoir, and everyone knew little about her.
Later, she married into a marquisate, but the reputation of Prince Lu of Yongning Marquisate in Shangjing was not very good. Everyone said that he was a good-for-nothing playboy. In Shangjing, where many nobles gathered, the reputation of Yongning Marquisate was not one of the best. Since Lu Tingxu's own conditions were not so eye-catching, the female relatives did not pay much attention to him.
After Lin Wan got married, she seldom socialized. She herself was not a person who liked to be in the crowd, so people didn't know much about her.
But after spending time with her today, everyone had a different view of Lin Wan. She was gentle to everyone and spoke with discretion. Although everyone talked about her, she would always bring the topic back to the other ladies, and everyone felt that they were being praised.
He is a gentle and polite person.
This is everyone's unanimous evaluation of her.
After getting to know each other, everyone's attention returned to the theme of this flower viewing event.
While chatting and drinking tea, ask the lady you like.
Liu Ping and Liu Qian came here with Lin Wan and were received by the host personally, so they received more attention. After a while, several ladies came over to ask them questions.
Aunt Lin remained reserved while answering everyone's questions and introducing her daughter, while she was extremely happy in her heart.
Everyone looked at Lin Wan with a smile, and Lin Wan also smiled and talked about the situation of her two younger sisters.
Nowadays, when a woman gets married, it is arranged by her parents and matchmaker, but these parental orders can be divided into love and hate.
Those who do not care about their children's feelings and only want to curry favor with the other party will not come out to meet the other party. They will only consider the other party's family background before getting married.
There are also those who care about their children. They are reluctant to let their children live unhappy for the sake of profit, so there are various occasions for them to meet each other.
Although Aunt Lin hoped that her two daughters could marry like Lin Wan and live a comfortable and respectable life, she also wanted the other party to be suitable and like them.
Otherwise, if people look down on you and you send your daughter to them eagerly, wouldn't that be a waste of your time?
Therefore, when such banquets are held, people with similar views come and bring their children with them, which not only expands their social circle but also gives them more choices.
This is also the best effort parents can do for their children. Within limited choices, they should try their best to make their children live as comfortably as possible.
So Aunt Lin was extremely happy that Liu Ping and Liu Qian were noticed by several ladies among a group of girls.
At this time, a lady asked, "Who was the little girl who was with the two Liu sisters just now?"
Aunt Lin smiled and looked at Lin Wan, "My niece brought it here. She has been living in the Marquis' Mansion for some time."
Aunt Lin thought clearly that because of Lin Wan, her daughter had attracted attention and might be able to find a good marriage through this.
Since Dong Yue was brought here by Lin Wan, I could just return the favor by introducing Dong Yue to some ladies. If I can find a suitable son-in-law for her, it would be considered that I have done a small favor.
When everyone heard that Dong Yue lived in the Marquis' Mansion and was brought to the banquet by Lin Wan herself, and looked at Lin Wan with a fond look on her face, they all became interested.
"That little girl is obviously well-educated and well-mannered."
"Yes, he was a little reserved at first, but his manners and upbringing are good."
"Not bad, not bad. You are dressed appropriately and look polite."
At this time, someone asked Lin Wan, "Madam Lu, who is this girl in the Marquis' Mansion?"
"Could it be a cousin from the Marquis's Mansion?"
Everyone knows that Xiao and Marquis Lu only have one son, Lu Tingxu, and there are no illegitimate children in the mansion. So the young lady that Lin Wan brought with her must be from a relative's family, and she came out to make friends by relying on the relationship in the Marquis' mansion.
Lin Wan smiled and shook her head. "Sister Dong is the daughter of the prince's colleague in the Jinwu Guard. Her father used to be in the military camp, and now he is the captain of the Jinwu Guard and also the prince's master in the Jinwu Guard."
After Lin Wan reported Dong Yue's family background, the attention paid to her by the ladies around her dropped by more than half.
Most of the women who came today were from the civil service. Originally, civil and military officials did not get along well with each other. Civil officials disliked military officials for being rude, and military officials disliked civil officials for being hypocritical. Dong Qiang's official position was not high, and his family background was not outstanding.
"What about Miss Dong's mother?" another lady asked.
"Miss Dong's mother was originally a daughter of a civil servant. Unfortunately, her family fell into poverty and she has passed away early due to illness." Lin Wan answered truthfully.
As soon as these words were spoken, several ladies lowered their eyes and lost interest.
Lin Wan looked at the lady who had just been praising Dong Yue for her excellence and suddenly lost a lot of her enthusiasm, and smiled slightly.
She knew that Dong Yue's background was insignificant among these officials' wives, but this was indeed the fact, or it could be said that this was Dong Yue's shortcoming in choosing a marriage partner.
She also didn't want to keep silent or even lie to them just to get a good marriage. Because these things couldn't be concealed, even if she had covered it up now and could say she was married to a rich and powerful family, once the marriage was on the agenda, these things couldn't be concealed.
If she is exposed by then, even if the marriage is finally successful, Dong Yue's life will not be very good. The man will always blame Dong Yue for hiding the truth and even accuse her of cheating on the marriage.
Instead of doing this, it is better to make it clear from the beginning. If the family cares about the girl's family background, they will naturally not ask more questions. However, there are also some people who don't care about the girl's family background, but only care about Dong Yue as a person.
After spending such a long time together, Lin Wan felt that Dong Yue was a very good girl. She knew her situation clearly and knew what she wanted.
At first, she wanted to live a good life and thought about seducing Lu Tingxu and becoming a concubine in the Marquis's mansion. Later, when this idea was cut off by Lu Tingxu, she was depressed for two days and began to rethink her situation.
From then on, she could study seriously under the nanny sent by Lin Wan, and would often come to Lin Wan's place to learn how to be a housekeeper from her.
Later, Lin Wan even found that she was getting closer and closer to herself, and she began to look down on Lu Tingxu.
Although it was a bit funny, Lin Wan still hoped that she could live a better life in the future.
In this era, it is not easy for women to live a happy life.
"This Miss Dong is so pitiful!"
"Yes, such a good girl has been without her mother since she was a child. What a miserable life!"
Hearing the sighs of the ladies, Lin Wan remained calm and smiled, saying, "Even so, Sister Dong is still very good. She is well-educated and polite, and has a gentle temperament. I have also taught her a lot about housekeeping, and she has learned very quickly. The maids who teach etiquette in the mansion all praise her for being smart and studious."
Lin Wan praised Dong Yue again and again, and her meaning was very clear. Although her family background was not prominent, Dong Yue was a very good person. Moreover, she was now educated by the Marquis's Mansion, and her etiquette and manners were also very impressive.
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, several ladies regained their interest and continued to chat and laugh.
