Chapter 376 Do You Like Him?
If Mrs. Qi knew that Qi Xingyun thought like this, she would definitely scold him. Isn't this how you talk about kissing? You must say something else to get to the point. You come and say that you like someone's girl. Will they believe you?
Then, Madam Qi moved closer to Old Lady Yang and asked cautiously in a low voice, "Old Lady, I wonder if the girl named Xiao Cao'er in your family has found a marriage?"
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Yang quickly waved her hands and shook her head in response, "Oh, my little girl is still very young. It's too early for her to get married. We haven't arranged any marriage for her yet."
When Mrs. Qi heard this, a happy smile immediately bloomed on her face, and she hurriedly said, "Oh my, that's great! To be honest, my master and I really like your little girl Xiaocao from the bottom of our hearts. I wonder what you think of my Xingyun?"
"What? Are you talking about my Xiaocao'er?" Old Mrs. Yang's face was full of astonishment, her mouth opened so wide that it seemed like an egg could fit in it.
Mrs. Qi nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, it's your Xiaocao. Although my Xingyun is a little older than Xiaocao, we don't think age is a big problem. I just don't know if you can look down on my Xingyun?" As she spoke, Mrs. Qi deliberately lowered her posture, appearing particularly humble and polite.
Old Lady Yang was naturally delighted after hearing this, but she couldn't help but feel worried. After all, Qi Xingyun's status was there, and it was not something that ordinary people could afford.
So, she said with a little hesitation: "Well... To be honest, my little girl Xiaocao'er looks well-behaved and docile on the surface, but she is actually very naughty! I don't know if Xingyun will like her. In addition, Mr. Xingyun has a noble status, so people like us from a small family really don't dare to have too many extravagant hopes."
Old Lady Yang was clear in her mind. She knew very well that she was just a peasant from a remote village. But what about Qi Xingyun? He was the dignified Prince Yun! There was a huge difference between the two. How could she dare to expect him to look down on her granddaughter?
"Oh, hey, old lady, please don't just focus on his noble status! Take a good look at this man. He is so old, and he should be thankful that he can still find a wife." Mrs. Qi waved her hands and comforted Mrs. Yang with a smile on her face.
After hearing this, Old Lady Yang first turned her head to glance at her daughter-in-law Li standing next to her, and then cast her gaze on Qi Xingyun not far away. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly said, "Actually, I like Xingyun from the bottom of my heart, but... I just don't know if he likes our little Cao."
"Oh, old lady, you just need to relax! Our Xiaocao is so well-behaved and smart, and she is also a talented girl who is good at both literature and martial arts. She is more than qualified to be his match!" Mrs. Qi patted her chest and assured confidently.
Qi Xingyun heaved a sigh of relief when he heard his sister-in-law finally started talking about business. His whole state instantly relaxed, and his mind seemed to be empty without any distracting thoughts. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, which was like a flower blooming in spring, exuding a breath of joy.
Mrs. Li said with some worry, "Xiao Cao has four older brothers, but none of them have arranged marriages yet. Now, it is Xiao Cao who has arranged marriages first. Isn't this inappropriate?"
Speaking of Xiao Cao'er's four brothers, each of them has his own merits. The eldest brother, Da Mao, is handsome and talented. Someone once came to his house to propose marriage to him. However, Da Mao declined the offer on the grounds that his elders were not in the capital, saying, "Let's wait for the elders to make the arrangements. I dare not make the decision on my own." In this way, Da Mao's marriage has been delayed until now.
Old Lady Yang and Mrs. Li were extremely annoyed when they saw the four naughty boys at home who were always causing trouble. These two were not young anymore, but they had no intention of going on blind dates.
At this time, Madam Qi smiled and said, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with this. Let's first settle Xiaocao'er's marriage, and then start looking for girls for her brothers. By then, with Xiaocao'er and Xingyun's marriage, many wealthy families will naturally come to us on their own initiative!"
Madam Qi was confident about this matter and did not feel any difficulty or worry at all. After all, as long as Xiaocao'er and Xingyun's marriage was settled, the Yang family would surely receive the attention and favor of many wealthy families. By then, there would definitely be many people coming to propose marriage.
However, after hearing this, Old Lady Yang waved her hands and said in disbelief: "Alas, an ordinary family like us, how can we dare to hope to marry into those wealthy families! I just hope to find a marriage for my children that doesn't have so many troubles at home. I will be satisfied if I can marry a gentle and kind girl!"
