The red sun rises in the east corner, and the yard is sunny.

A pair of maids walked carefully with a plain painted tray, with a colorful cup with a lid on the top of the tray.

The little maid turned over the moon gate and entered the main courtyard. The wife Yan had already gotten up, and the close-fitting maid was combing her hair.

The little girl came in to greet her and handed over the tray.

Another big maid from Yan took it and picked it up. He lifted the lid. Inside was a cup of stewed tremella soup.

"Yesterday's bird's nest was a bit low, but today's Tremella looked good, and it had already produced glue." The maid said, "Madam, let's eat it now. It's not good if it's cold."

The lady eats bird's nest in a single day and Tremella on two days. This is a rule that cannot be broken. Today's eighth day, we should naturally eat Tremella soup.

Yan finished his makeup and stood up to sit at the table. The little silver spoon was easy to tell the truth, and it was specially used to eat supplements such as bird's nest and tremella.

While eating Tremella soup slowly, Yan asked, "Have you sent it to the young lady?"

The little maid quickly said, "Miss's part of the Chunyu Sister in their room has been brought over."

Yan nodded and said, "Today is a good day for her, so that everyone in front of her can do their best."

The maid beside Yan quickly agreed and said, "Mum Lai has gone to give me some advice yesterday. Don't worry, madam! The lady must have gotten up now, so I must come over to greet you."

The young lady they mentioned was Yu Rubi.

"The master also gave a special reminder this morning that this marriage must be accomplished. Don't make any mistakes, so that some people will say I will not be willing to do my best." Yan sighed.

"Mrs. Who cares about the eldest lady? Who in the whole mansion doesn't praise me?" said the maid next to me.

"Forget it, if you don't complain, you will be Amitabha Buddha. I don't want to praise you." Yan lowered his eyebrows and smiled.

Yan is Yu Rubi's stepmother. She also has two daughters, but both of them are still young, only eight or nine years old.

Yu Rubi also has an elder brother who has been working in the Liangzhou army for three years. Unfortunately, he was born as a concubine and has a little shortage of background.

However, Mr. Yu only has this son, so his future family business will naturally be inherited by him.

Yu Rubi is already seventeen years old. Because of her good character and good looks, there are many people who come to propose marriage. However, Yu's father is very concerned about his daughter's marriage and must choose a son-in-law with high talent.

Of course, Yan did not object, although Yu Rubi was not her biological daughter. However, as the eldest sister in the family, she married well, which would naturally be helpful to her two sisters' future marriages.

Yan has no son, so he regards the marriage between his two daughters as a top priority.

So she was also very concerned about Yu Rubi's marriage.

No matter what the purpose was, her attitude won the favor of the elders of the Yu family, including Master Yu.

The atmosphere of the Great Zhou Dynasty was open. If men and women were interested in each other, they had to look at each other first, so that they could get to know each other better. Even if they didn't succeed in the end, it would have no effect on each other. After all, there were women and hundreds of schools of thought.

Today, Zhou Yichen, the third son of the Qin Duke, is now studying in the Imperial Academy. He is a famous talented man and has a handsome appearance.

Although he is not the eldest son of the Zhou family, he is the most favored son of the Zhou family. Because he cannot inherit the title, he plans to take the path of taking the imperial examination to gain fame.

The official media had already been angry between the two families, and Yu Rubi's father had met Zhou Yichen, so he was naturally very satisfied.

Today is the Zhou family who came to see Yu Rubi, and they have already known each other before.

It is said that Zhou Yichen had seen Yu Rubi from afar during the Lantern Festival last year, so he was worried at that time.

How many men who look like jade or bi are not moved by her?

But she is usually very low-key and doesn't go out easily. Otherwise, she is afraid that more people will come to propose marriage.

Although the family of the Yu family is slightly lower than that of the Zhou family, it has been said since ancient times that it is appropriate to raise your head to marry a daughter and lower your head to marry a daughter.

Sure enough, Yu Rubi came to pay her respects to her stepmother later.

Yan reminded her a few words very kindly and said, "You have always been a sensible person and I don't need to say much. When the Zhou family comes, you will just say a few words with you."

Yu Rubi nodded obediently, and her smile looked so beautiful.

Yan often feels unfair because the two daughters she gave birth to are incomparable to Yu Rubi in terms of appearance.

However, she was unwilling to admit that it was because her appearance was not as good as Yu Rubi's biological mother.

At the beginning of Chen Shi, the people from the Zhou family came. They were his second wife, Du, and Zhou Yichen's aunt.

Du is only in his early forties and is capable. When he sees such things, his elders always come forward.

This elder must be able to make an idea, which shows that Du also has an identity in the Zhou family.

Yan brought Yu Rubi to welcome him early, so she and Du naturally knew each other for a long time, and it is common for female families to gather in various families on weekdays.

Therefore, as soon as we met, Yan took Du's hand and walked into the middle hall, calling people to watch tea in a stack of voices.

Yu Rubi came forward generously to pay tribute. Du grabbed her and looked at her without a trace while saying with a smile: "Look, it's been a long time since I've seen you, and I've been in a better position. When I was a child, I liked you very much. Now that women are changing in age, they are becoming more and more unwilling to let go of them when they see you."

"Second Madam, you have been too awarded. Is she still a child? Don't be surprised by some things that are not well-regarded." Yan knows very well how to be an impeccable stepmother in front of outsiders.

"Look at what you said, where will the children taught by my sister be bad?" Du's words made Yan feel very helpful.

Next is drinking tea and snacks, and by the way, let’s talk about homework.

At this time, neither side would make the words clear, but they knew each other well.

When Du came, two maids followed him, one holding a jewelry box and the other holding a few feet of colorful satin.

This is also the old rule. Whenever the elders of the man come to the woman's house to see him, they will give the girl a gift in the end.

However, two gifts are very particular. There is no need to explain clearly at that time. Just look at which gift you are giving, and you will know whether it will be successful or not.

If outsiders ask, they will not ask directly whether it will be successful. They only ask whether it is jewelry or colored satin.

Most of the jewelry boxes contain a beaded hairpin. If you are satisfied, you will put the beaded hairpin on the woman before leaving, which is called a hairpin.

If you are not satisfied, you will leave the colored satin behind, saying that it is to suppress the girl's shock.

Because satin and dungeon are homophonic, it means that the marriage is not done.

"It's getting late, and I've been disturbing for a long time!" Du smiled and stood up: "I brought a gift to my niece today, which is a meeting gift! Please don't dislike it."
