Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 924 - 913: The Time-Traveling Heroine’s Doting Grandmother

Mrs. Li guessed that Yang Xiufen might be pretty, but she didn’t expect her to be this beautiful.

Her brother, Yang Tanchua, had the elegance of bamboo and the grace of jade, but she was different. She was gentle and tender, as if made of water, and you could tell by looking that she was a kind-hearted good girl. Mrs. Li sighed inwardly, understanding why her youngest son couldn’t forget her. She too was immediately fond of her.

Although she didn’t care much about family background, she had felt a sense of superiority before coming to the Yang Family. However, after meeting this girl Yang Xiufen, she suddenly felt that her mischievous son might not be a good match. If not for their less distinguished family background, her beauty and character would have been more than enough for a prince.

She made up her mind, thinking that only a girl like this could tame her mischievous son and make him settle down. So she humbled herself, thinking that if she didn’t act quickly, such a good child might be snatched away by someone else.

Then she shifted her gaze to Ye Qiu, and meeting the Old Lady’s eyes, she was startled.

As the Minister’s wife, she prided herself on having met many nobles, but even in front of the one in the palace, she had never been this shaken. What kind of eyes could see through worldly affairs so clearly?

She thought again, perhaps only such a perceptive Old Lady could raise a family like this!

"Good day, Old Madam." She nodded slightly. Although the other party was an elder, her position by Imperial Decree made it a bit inappropriate to bow.

"Please, have a seat, Lady. We were quite surprised to receive your letter yesterday, and it’s truly a bit of a disservice to welcome you to our humble home." Ye Qiu smiled calmly, giving no hint of emotion in her eyes, yet leaving a very favorable impression.

"Old Madam, you’re too kind. Your household is elegantly and serenely arranged, and the family warm and harmonious. How many people envy you!" Mrs. Li sipped some tea but was shocked as soon as it touched her lips.

"This tea?" She looked inquiringly at the Yang Family members.

"Oh, this is some rough tea we planted and processed ourselves, please forgive us." Ji Qiuyan said a bit embarrassed.

Mrs. Li was bewildered; such good tea, and they were embarrassed? Did she see it wrong?

Her husband held a high position, and she had tasted the good tea bestowed by the Saint. She herself was also of scholarly background and loved to collect fine teas, but she had never tasted such sweet and fragrant tea before. To say something sacrilegious, perhaps even the Saint hadn’t drunk such good tea.

The Yang Family truly seemed different. She had thought they were just ordinary farmers who had risen after Yang Tanchua passed the examination, but upon seeing their demeanor, they did not seem like ordinary rural people. Their calm demeanor in front of an Imperial Mandate woman was not ordinary, and the sophistication of their food and drink was astonishing yet regarded as plain by themselves. Their principles - not seeking wealth, not selling their daughter for glory - were they really just ordinary farmers?

Mrs. Li was even more satisfied with her son’s taste. A daughter raised in such a family didn’t need to marry up.

However, she didn’t know that Ji Qiuyan truly felt nothing special. The tea was planted by their mother and fried by herself. She hadn’t tasted any other good teas, and even if she had, she couldn’t tell the difference, so she really didn’t know how good this tea was.

Unconsciously elevating her family, Ye Qiu leisurely sipped tea. It was grown with Spiritual Spring Water; how could it not be good?

"Just some things grown at home. Lady, if you like it, take some when you leave."

Although she should decline in this situation, seeing such good tea, she, who loved tea obsessively, couldn’t resist and blushed, saying, "Then I shall not be too polite, thank you for your generosity, Old Madam."

After speaking, she thought to herself, when she brought this tea back, she would make that old man who loved tea more than her envious to death.

Then, she looked at Yang Xiufen with eager eyes. If her son married her, wouldn’t the family never have to worry about lacking good tea?

Although she wouldn’t sell her son’s marriage for a bit of tea, if the girl was very good and her son liked her too, and it happened to mean the family never lacked tea, then why not?

"Old Madam, is this your granddaughter? She’s truly beautiful. Girl, come over and let Aunt take a look." She beckoned warmly.

Yang Xiufen looked to Ye Qiu for approval, and only after her grandmother nodded did she walk over slowly and courtesy properly.

"Such a lovely child, I have only two sons at home, and the biggest regret of my life is not having a little girl like you. Seeing you, I wish I could ask your parents to let me have you." Mrs. Li laughed and slipped a nephrite jade bracelet onto Yang Xiufen’s wrist.

Yang Xiufen was startled and quickly declined, "Lady, this is too valuable, I can’t accept it."

"Take it, it’s nothing. Aunt felt a connection with you at first sight, don’t refuse." Mrs. Li firmly slipped the bracelet on.

"This..." Yang Xiufen looked helplessly at Ye Qiu, saw her grandmother nod slightly, and only then thanked her with a courteous bow.

"How old are you this year? Are you promised to anyone?" She asked eagerly, anxious for an answer, fearing disappointment.

Her direct question embarrassed Yang Xiufen, who didn’t know how to respond.

Ye Qiu laughed and said, "Xiufen is sixteen this year. Her mother and I are looking for a match. As her family, we find her good in every way, so we’re reluctant to let her go."

"That’s quite reasonable. If I had such a beautiful and sensible daughter, I wouldn’t want her to marry either. But if there’s a suitable match, it’s not inappropriate to fix the engagement first." She affectionately held Yang Xiufen’s hand, almost saying directly that the suitable match was her son.

"It’s true, but we’ve only recently moved to the capital and don’t know many suitable families. Our family background is not high, but we cherish our daughter. We don’t dare aim for high-status families to prevent her from suffering, and we don’t want her to be distressed by concubines in large households. So, we’re planning to find her a scholar from a poor family like her brother, so they can support each other. That’s what brings peace of mind." Ye Qiu hinted.

Mrs. Li understood the implication and wasn’t angry. She, being a woman herself, knew that families who loved their daughters this much were more respectable. Besides, her family also had no such messy affairs. The Du Family had a rule that concubines could only be taken if a man was beyond thirty and childless.

It was precisely because of this rule that the Du family’s backyard hadn’t caught fire over the years, and the men at the front could focus on advancing.
