Chapter 397 Peasant Girl
If his parents don't agree, then his wish will be ruined. Whenever he thought of Li Xiaoxiao's stunningly beautiful face, he felt excited.
In his mind, Li Xiaoxiao's appearance is more beautiful than his sister. Looking at the entire capital, Li Xiaoxiao is definitely the number one.
If I marry her home, I wonder how many people will be envious.
"Why would I see her? You're already an adult. I asked your father to find a wife for you. If this one doesn't work, you'd better give up." The Prime Minister's wife spoke in a serious tone, leaving no room for doubt.
She looks kind on the surface, but actually she is not. How can she be in charge of such a huge Prime Minister's Mansion without some skills?
"Mom, she is really nice. I guarantee that as long as you meet her, you will definitely fall in love with her." Cheng Kun still didn't give up.
The Prime Minister's wife stood up and looked at Cheng Kun with a serious expression. No matter how disappointing he was, he was still her own son. Finally, she sighed.
"Kun'er, you are already an adult. A man should focus on his future and career instead of focusing on love affairs. Li Xiaoxiao was born in a peasant family and is destined to be unworthy of being a daughter-in-law of our Prime Minister's Mansion. Don't mention her again in the future."
"But……"
"I'm tired, you should go back and don't think too much about useless things." The Prime Minister's wife ignored him and turned away.
Only Cheng Kun was left standing there blankly. The excitement he had felt when he came out from Cheng Yun'er's place was gone.
Before he came, he had thought that things might not go smoothly, but he didn't expect the two of them to react so strongly. They said no directly, without any room for negotiation.
Li Xiaoxiao was the first woman he wanted to marry, and he would be unwilling to give up on her just like that.
He had always been proud of his identity, but at this moment he actually felt a little disgusted. If he was not the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it would have been much smoother for him to marry Li Xiaoxiao.
But even if he thought so, he couldn't change anything. He stood there dejectedly for a long time. Finally, he decided to go find Cheng Yuner to see if she had any ideas.
When he arrived outside Cheng Yun'er's yard, Cheng Yun'er had just come back from outside. She glanced at Cheng Kun and guessed something in her mind.
Then she walked into the yard without saying a word, and Cheng Kun followed her with his head lowered.
"Your parents don't agree?" Cheng Yun'er sat leisurely on the stool.
"Yeah, neither of them agrees." Cheng Kun sighed softly, feeling very distressed.
"Then what are you going to do?"
"I don't know either. I just came to you to give me some advice." Cheng Kun looked dejected.
"What good ideas can I have? The most I can do is to persuade them, but I don't know whether it will succeed or not." In fact, Cheng Yun'er still hopes that her brother can marry Li Xiaoxiao.
After all, as long as he marries Li Xiaoxiao, it will only benefit him.
"I know my sister loves me the most, why don't you go and persuade them now? Cheng Kun immediately became interested when he heard this.
"It's getting late today. I'll go tomorrow. Don't worry, I will try my best to persuade them." Cheng Yun'er could say that this result was expected.
In fact, she was not sure she could convince her parents. Li Xiaoxiao's family was too different from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Moreover, Cheng Kun wants to marry a wife, not take a concubine. The huge Prime Minister's Mansion will be managed by Cheng Kun's wife in the future. If she does not have a prominent family, it will be difficult to win the support of the people.
This is the reality, so can we arrange a minor official position for Li Xiaoxiao's father, or arrange an identity for Li Xiaoxiao, to narrow the gap between the two families?
Cheng Yun'er thought about various possibilities, and went to pay her respects to the Prime Minister's wife early the next morning.
The Prime Minister's wife and the Prime Minister both valued this daughter the most, but unfortunately she was not a boy and had all this talent in vain.
The Prime Minister's wife sighed more than once: "It would be great if you were a man. We would have a successor in the Prime Minister's Mansion. But look at your brother, he has no ambition or desire to make progress."
Every time at this time, Cheng Yuner always smiled faintly, and her face couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy.
"My younger brother is still young, he just likes to play. When he grows up, he will naturally know how to do some things. You don't have to worry too much." Cheng Yun'er said in an orderly manner.
"You are the one who can make me feel at ease. Fortunately, you are a sensible person." The Prime Minister's wife held her daughter's hand and felt that her daughter was a good person no matter how she looked at her.
With such an outstanding daughter like her, if she wants, it would not be a problem to marry her into the palace.
It’s a pity that her daughter had confessed to her a long time ago that she liked Si Chengxu.
Si Chengxu is of the same age as her daughter. As the next crown prince of Marquis Yong'an, he is a great general at a young age. His status and talents are no less than those of the princes in the palace. As long as her daughter likes it, she will agree.
"My brother came to my place yesterday and seemed a little unhappy." Cheng Yun'er looked at her mother's expression carefully and spoke tentatively.
Sure enough, after she said this, the Prime Minister's wife's originally gentle face suddenly took a sharp turn.
"Your brother is becoming more and more ignorant. Yesterday he told me that he wanted to marry a farm girl, but he didn't even consider whether the farm girl's status is suitable for us."
"Really? Which girl does my brother want to marry?" Cheng Yun'er pretended not to know.
"The daughter of the eldest sister of the Yong'an Marquis was born in a peasant family. How could such a girl be worthy of marrying your brother?" She felt angry when she thought of the Prime Minister's wife.
There are so many young ladies from famous families in the capital. He had mentioned her many times before, but he never even looked at her. He just ate, drank and had fun every day. No one expected that when he wanted to get married this time, he would choose such a woman.
It would be fine if this family was reasonable, but if they were the difficult type who came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for money every few days, she would not acknowledge such in-laws.
"Is it Li Xiaoxiao?" Cheng Yuner thought for a moment and then said
"Yes, her name is Li Xiaoxiao. I just knew about her yesterday. She is a farm girl. Not to mention the huge difference in social status, she doesn't know any etiquette. If I take her out in the future, people will laugh at me."
"Mother, I have met this Li Xiaoxiao several times. She is a very outstanding woman. Although she is a peasant girl, after she separated from her grandparents, she went from being penniless to buying land and a house, and then to buying a shop in the county town. She did it all by herself. This shows that this girl is capable. On the contrary, I think this kind of girl is a perfect match for my brother."
Cheng Yun'er had found out about this information at the earliest moment. It must be said that Li Xiaoxiao was indeed quite capable. The several shops he had opened in the capital were all doing a booming business.
