From Xiao Shi's expression, it could be seen that she did not have a good impression of her mother and sister, even though she had been chosen before the original body's marriage.
However, the little girl was honest and did not speak much. She had never said anything bad about them in front of her.
Bai Rong 'er pursed her lips, but did not say anything.
Bai Xiangxiu did not say anything either, her expression as natural as could be.
Seeing her eldest daughter's calm demeanor, Madam Xiao thought to herself, 'As expected, a princess consort is different. Her temperament is much more stable.'
"Now is good. From today onwards, our two families should interact more.
This time, I came here because I have something to discuss with you. "
"Mother, please speak!"
"Now that you are the consort of the Li Of Gojoseon and the adopted sister of Prince Rong, your status is different from before. Your sister's marriage needs to be considered.
Recently, many families have come to propose marriage. Your father and I have no idea, so we wanted to ask for your opinion.
An elder sister is like a mother, so we thought you should help us make a decision. "
"So that's how it is. Mother, you don't know. I don't know much about the noble families in the capital, so I'm afraid I can't give you any advice."
The original body was a young girl. Although she could have decided to marry Long Heng as a concubine, the real decision-maker was either her father or this mother in front of her.
Letting her decide on her sister's marriage sounded nice on the surface, but behind the scenes, wasn't she just trying to introduce her sister to a good husband?
However, she did not know much about this Bai Rong 'er. If she really had the same temperament as the original body, then it wouldn't be good for her to marry into any family.
"I have my eyes on a family. You must know about them."
Madam Xiao smiled. She felt that her eldest daughter would definitely help.
"Which family?"
Could it be that her sister wanted to marry into the family as a concubine, just like in the novel?
However, she did not want to disgust herself with the idea of her elder sister becoming a concubine.
Fortunately, Madam Xiao did not do that. She smiled and said, "The eldest son of the Song family in the capital, Sir Jiaoyue."
"What?"
Bai Xiangxiu almost threw the teacup in her hand as she stared at Madam Xiao.
Although this younger sister was born very well, according to the modern concept, they were not worthy.
The Bai family was just a small family with five or six servants in a courtyard. Even if the Song family was separated, they would still be a large family with several hundred people. Song Jiaoyue alone had three bedwarmers.
She also had countless maids serving her, and all of them were extremely knowledgeable.
If it weren't for the fact that she considered herself a transmigrator, Song Jiaoyue probably wouldn't even consider her worthy of his attention if she didn't possess a few extra things compared to the ancients.
Appearance was important, but since ancient times, the reason why a beauty could make a hero drool was not only because of her appearance, but also because of her intelligence.
Based on Bai Rong 'er's arrogant attitude towards the servants of the prince's estate, it was clear that she was not an introverted person.
Marrying Song Jiaoyue was truly Sir Jiaoyue's misfortune.
She subconsciously scratched her face and smiled, "Mother, let's not talk about the Song family. Even our family backgrounds are too far apart."
"Based on your … based on the relationship between the Prince and Prince Song, this shouldn't be a problem. Moreover, you are already a princess consort. How bad can it be?"
Madam Xiao smiled. Her status was indeed a little lacking, but her eldest daughter had a good reputation in the capital.
If this were to spread, even their parents would be proud. If it weren't for this, that stubborn old man at home would not have let them out.
As for the sudden increase in standards, it was because there were more and more people coming to propose marriage.
Ever since the last marriage was called off, there had been all sorts of high officials, nobles, fourth and fifth rank sons. There were also many who were of good age and similar appearance.
However, compared to this son-in-law of hers, they were far too lacking. After choosing for a while, she finally set her sights on Song Jiaoyue.
Bai Rong 'er had even met Song Jiaoyue in private. For a moment, he was like a celestial being, and she was determined to marry only him.
Madam Xiao was biting off more than she could chew. Because of Bai Xiangxiu's good looks and good horoscope, she wanted to curry favor with her after she was chosen by the prince's household. Because of this, she discussed with her eldest daughter and directly canceled the verbal marriage between her father and a family before sending her in. Now that she thought about it, it was the right decision to send her in.
Now that she was a princess consort with unparalleled glory, she did not contact her family at all. She was truly heartless.
Bai Xiangxiu felt the anger in her chest rush up. How could she not know what she had swallowed just now?
Didn't she want to say that she was related to Song Jiaoyue? What kind of relationship did she have with him?
Yes, she knew that there were rumors in the capital.
No matter how hard they tried to hide it, there were still people who knew about Song Jiaoyue's intentions. Therefore, it was not impossible for them to know.
However, Madam Xiao had come over and wanted to use this relationship to her advantage. Was this really the thinking of someone who had her daughter's best interests at heart?
Her expression changed, and she stood up. "I'm sorry. Your daughter knows her lowly status and has no right to have any ideas about the Prince's friends."
Madam Xiao saw her change in expression and knew that she had almost said the wrong thing. She said, "You are a princess consort now. You are different from before. You don't need to mention anything to the Prince.
However, your younger sister has not seen much of the world since she was young. Why don't she stay in the prince's household and help you? She can also learn how to be a wife. "
"Elder sister, I haven't seen you in a long time. I miss you."
Bai Rong 'er used a small handkerchief to wipe her eyes, but she did not really cry.
Bai Xiangxiu didn't like her very much, but she knew that if she didn't make Née Xiao stay, there would be no end to it. So, she said, "Then stay for two days. But the rules of the prince's estate are very strict. If my younger sister does anything wrong, I will send her home even if the old madame doesn't say anything. Otherwise, the position of princess consort will change sooner or later."
Her tone was not friendly, and Madam Xiao was annoyed.
However, because her daughter's status was different now, she did not argue with her and left Bai Rong 'er behind.
After her mother left, Bai Rong 'er became more well-behaved. She looked at her older sister from head to toe. She was really imposing.
Everything he was wearing and using was of the best quality.
Even the servant girls who served her were better dressed than ordinary people. Even Xiao Shi, that poor girl, had become more beautiful.
"Elder sister, we haven't seen each other for more than a year. I heard that you gave birth to a beautiful little nephew. Why haven't I seen him?"
"He has caught a cold recently. He is recuperating at Madam Xiao's place."
Bai Xiangxiu was tired of sitting and leaned to one side to look at the account books. Bai Rong 'er came over and said with a smile, "Elder sister, this prince's household is under your care now. It is so tiring to read so many books. Find someone to help you."
Books?
Bai Xiangxiu's mouth twitched. "I don't have the time to read those books. These are account books."
"The prince's household account books?"
She picked up a book and looked at it. "My goodness, so much money. One book is equivalent to three to five years of our family's income."
