The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1217 - 1037, Looking for Someone’s House

"Auntie and Yile have come to Xiliang..."

Daohua smiled somewhat reluctantly. Having Yile here was virtually synonymous with trouble now. "Auntie and Yile have come for what reason?"

Yan Yihuan gave a helpless smile: "Mainly for Yile’s marriage arrangement."

Daohua’s expression paused for a moment, and after quickly calculating in her mind, she realized that it had already been three or four years since Yile’s divorce.

"Second sister, all of us would definitely support Yishuang getting remarried, but why didn’t she choose someone from Beijing? How come to Xiliang?"

Yan Yihuan’s face showed a hint of bitterness: "Mainly because there’s no suitable match in Beijing."

At this point, Han Xinran spoke up, her words somewhat unkind: "Second sister, Yishuang doesn’t even favor the men in Beijing, could she possibly favor those from Xiliang?"

"We’ve been in Xiliang for many years now, you know the situation here. Compared to other places, the conditions are quite inferior. Yishuang isn’t someone accustomed to hardship, would she be willing to stay here indefinitely?"

Daohua showed agreement, thinking that if Yile could endure hardships, she would have accompanied Feng Shuo to Xiliang when her eldest brother came here, and perhaps she wouldn’t have divorced.

"Second sister, auntie might not understand the situation in Xiliang well, thinking that since both you and I are here, it must be a nice place. You should make things clear to her, to prevent auntie and Yishuang from making a wasted trip."

Yan Yihuan’s face showed extreme helplessness: "My mother and Yile were already on the road when they sent me the letter. I didn’t know beforehand that they would come."

Daohua raised an eyebrow: "What about second brother? Why didn’t he stop them at all?"

Yan Yihuan: "Second brother and sister-in-law probably didn’t know about this either. Otherwise, they definitely would not have been at ease with mother and Yile traveling alone."

Daohua and Han Xinran exchanged a quick look, thinking their clever auntie had pulled off a fait accompli.

Daohua was deeply aware of auntie Sun and Yile’s high standards. She said to Yan Yihuan: "Second sister, although Xiliang has developed quite well in recent years, whether it’s officials who’ve come here to serve or local gentry and aristocratic families, none can match the heritage of other places."

"When auntie and Yile arrive, you’d better well inform them of these circumstances."

Han Xinran nodded in agreement: "Indeed, we can’t let auntie claim we’re not attentive or deliberately shirking."

Yan Yihuan’s face showed embarrassment, it seems she had recognized the attitude of her elder sister and sister-in-law; neither of them wanted to deal with Yile’s situation.

Alas, it wasn’t anyone else’s fault. Even she herself felt a headache and annoyance upon hearing that her mother and sister were coming over.

Daohua asked again: "When will auntie and Yile arrive?"

Yan Yihuan: "Judging from the time, they should arrive in the next two or three days."

Daohua nodded her head.

Han Xinran said to Daohua: "Second sister, you can stay at our house for the next few days. Once auntie and Yile arrive, I’ll bring them to you."

This was decided upon discussion with her husband last night; her elder sister now had to take care of three children and manage the vast Prince Residence, where would she find the time to deal with Yishuang’s marriage matters?

Once auntie and Yishuang arrive, they would just perform their duty as hosts and then have second sister take them to Lanwu Prefecture.

Issues of the second branch should be solved by its own members; they couldn’t always turn to the main branch for every problem.

Daohua did not object. Previously, when Yan Yihuan and Yan Yishuang came to Liangdu, she had them stay at the Prince Residence, first to show closeness, and second to give them face in front of their husbands’ families.

However, this time she would let it be.

Otherwise, if auntie Sun and Yile came, they would likely stay at the Prince Residence as well.

She welcomed relatives for an occasional short visit, but for someone like Yile who was coming to seek a marriage and whose departure date was uncertain, better not; she didn’t want to trouble herself.

Seeing that Daohua did not invite her to stay, Yan Yihuan felt somewhat disappointed. Staying at the Prince Residence and at the Yan Residence were fundamentally different.

Mother and sister coming over, if they could move into the Prince Residence, it would definitely help with future matchmaking.

What a pity...

Daohua and Han Xinran discussed other matters, and neither cared to concern themselves with Yan Yihuan’s thoughts; as for the second branch, they from the main branch had already done all that was required of them by virtue and righteousness.

...

In the evening, when Xiao Yeyang returned from his official duties, Daohua casually mentioned the matter to him.

After hearing this, Xiao Yeyang didn’t show much reaction and continued to play with his daughter on his neck.

"Daddy, it’s my turn, my turn."

Daomiao, who was usually inactive, also liked this game, for riding on Daddy’s neck allowed one to see far and wide.

Xiao Yeyang coaxed his daughter down before finally picking up his son.

"Be careful not to let the children fall."

Daohua watched with some anxiety and quickly went over to assist, not relaxing until her son, laughing "giggly" perched on Xiao Yeyang’s neck, sat her daughter on the bed and flipped through her elder brother’s sketchbooks with her.

"Mommy, a rabbit."

"Mommy, a chick."

Every time Daomang correctly identified something, Daohua would smile and nod, praising "Daomang is so clever", delighting the little girl who then showed off her toothless grin to Daohua.

It wasn’t until Daozi returned from his tutor and took over the care of the twins that Xiao Yeyang found the time to reply to Daohua: "Marrying someone isn’t difficult; there are plenty of military officers who still haven’t taken a wife."

Daohua shook her head: "My second aunt and fourth sister have lofty expectations."

Xiao Yeyang snorted: "What, are the military officers defending the nation not good enough for your fourth sister?"

Daohua: "Let’s forget it, we shouldn’t trouble those officers. With officers frequently stationed at the borders, their wives have to manage everything at home, and my fourth sister isn’t the type to be devoted to such duties."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang didn’t say more, but seeing Daohua still pondering over it, he chuckled: "With the Yan Family’s current status, it won’t be difficult for your fourth sister to remarry."

"Our uncle is the Minister of Revenue, our eldest sister is the Princess Consort of the Weiyuan Prince, our eldest brother is a consultant, our second brother is a compiler at the Hanlin Academy, our third brother is a co-commander of the Jinling Guard, our fourth brother is a naval commander..."

"With such a background, there are many who would wish to marry her."

Daohua gave him a sideways glance: "If that’s all they value, what good person could that attract?"

Xiao Yeyang laughed: "After all, your fourth sister has been divorced. No matter the reasons, her reputation inevitably suffers, and she’s not getting any younger. What else do you expect?"

Daohua fell silent and, not wishing to dwell further on the matter, stood up to check on the children.

...

On September 20th, the Sun Family brought Yan Yile in a carriage to Liangdu.

Entering Liangdu City and seeing its bustling and flourishing state, the Sun Family couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and smilingly said to Yan Yile: "Although it’s a bit lacking compared to other places, Liangdu is still not bad."

Yan Yile, looking at the passersby in Liangdu City through the carriage’s curtain, was not very interested.

Seeing her younger daughter who had turned much gloomier after the divorce, the Sun Family felt deeply pained and now could only hope to find a good marriage for her daughter in Xiliang.

Currently, Daohua was the Princess Consort of Weiyuan, overseeing all of Xiliang. Finding a good match for her youngest daughter certainly wouldn’t be difficult.
