The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 1017 Trying to Matchmake

However, the other women were just ordinary women, powerless and helpless. It was normal for them to be afraid when faced with such a terrible situation, and it was also normal for them to leave immediately.

She didn't blame the person she saved for not thanking her.

In truth, she wasn't someone who saved someone just to hear a thank you.

She can't stand it!

Looking at Dong Linglong like this, Meng Shisan suddenly thought of his unmarried eldest cousin. So, after Dong Linglong also got into the Meng family's carriage, she suddenly asked, "Ya Ya, what do you think of my eldest brother?"

Dong Linglong hadn't reacted yet: "What do you mean, how?"

"As a person," Meng Shisan said.

"His character?" Dong Linglong was a little confused, but after thinking about it carefully, she replied, "Young Master Meng is of upright character and a true gentleman."

Meng Shisan sensed a hint of politeness in his voice: "There are no strangers in this carriage, so you must speak the truth and not just give me the runaround."

Jiang Ziyao and Shi Lianchun pricked up their ears, and the three of them, along with her, all focused their eyes on Dong Linglong's face.

Dong Linglong felt the pressure: "..."

She asked with difficulty, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Ziyao is still young, while Shi Lianchun is of marriageable age. However, because Shi Ju has just passed away, they have to observe three years of mourning, so the marriage has to be postponed. But they both understood what Meng Shisan meant.

So they each said one sentence.

Jiang Ziyao: "Young Master Meng is twenty-one years old."

Shi Lianchun: "We can get married now."

Dong Linglong belatedly realized what was happening, glanced at Jiang Ziyao and Shi Lianchun who had given her advice, then looked back at Meng Shisan, who had been trying to match her with Meng Renping: "You..."

"My older brother doesn't know yet. It's just my own thought. And it was after seeing how cool you were when you beat someone up that I suddenly felt that you and my older brother are quite a good match." Meng Shisan explained why she suddenly asked this question.

Dong Linglong was speechless and choked with emotion: "..."

She couldn't understand Meng Shisan's logic: "Your elder brother is such a gentle, kind, and scholarly civil official, how could you think he's a good match for me, the daughter of a military general?"

"Is that not allowed?" Meng Shisan asked the remaining two.

The remaining two readily agreed: "Okay!"

Dong Linglong looked at the two of them in disbelief.

Jiang Ziyao spoke first: "I also think that Young Master Meng is very good and a good match."

Shi Lianchun continued, "Miss Dong might want to consider it."

"This is..." Dong Linglong paused, "...a question I can consider?"

It wasn't that she felt inferior; it was that she genuinely felt Meng Renping was a wealthy young man she could never reach.

Everyone said she was rude, and no one would like a rude woman, much less marry one.

Her younger sister had tried to persuade her to change, but after thinking about it, she realized she couldn't change, and even if she did, she wouldn't be happy.

If you're not happy in this life, what's the point of changing anything? Just be yourself and be happy.

Meng Shisan's eyes widened: "You mean, you agree?"

Dong Linglong became serious: "Marriage is a matter of parental arrangement and matchmaker's words. You, an unmarried young lady, are asking me this. Aren't you ashamed?" "Not ashamed at all. I'm just worried about my brother's important life event." Meng Shisan said with great enthusiasm, "If my aunt knew how much I was worried about my brother, she would definitely praise me."

"That's not necessarily true." Dong Linglong felt that Madam Meng would not agree to her becoming the eldest daughter-in-law.

The Shang family had been choosing a wife for Meng Renping for quite some time. Every time there was a flower party, tea party, spring banquet, or winter banquet, her mother would hear about it and then give her and her sister a serious talking-to, saying that they must behave well in public and never give anyone any leverage over them, otherwise they would never be able to get married.

Whether her younger sister remembered it or not, she didn't know. But she had been told it so many times that her ears were calloused, so naturally she took it to heart.

I made a mental summary—Madam Meng has extremely high standards, and Young Master Meng is extremely picky.

Meng Shisan asked again seriously, "My older brother is six years older than you. You really don't mind?"

Dong Linglong said with a blank face, "Yaoyao, if you say that again, I'm getting off the bus."

"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore." Meng Shisan verbally conceded, but in his heart he decided that once he returned to the manor, he would find an opportunity to give Shang Shi some encouragement, and maybe it would really work.

Once the topic of whether Dong Linglong and Meng Renping could get married was over, the conversation quickly turned to Shi Lianchun's marriage prospects.

Shi Lianchun herself didn't have any thoughts on this, and mainly couldn't offer any opinions: "Let it be."

"There's no other way to observe mourning." As a child, Dong Linglong could understand, and so could everyone else in the carriage.

Jiang Ziyao is the youngest, only thirteen years old. At present, the matter of engagement and marriage seems quite far away for her. Even if she waits until she reaches the age of marriage, she will still have to wait until she reaches the age of marriage.

Therefore, she hadn't thought much about marriage, or rather, she had thought about it, but never thought about it deeply.

Meng Shisan's own marriage was still a mess. Her idea to matchmake Meng Renping and Dong Linglong was just a spur-of-the-moment thing. After asking Dong Linglong, she felt it wasn't impossible, so she decided to talk to the Shang family about it.

As for Shi Lianchun, her marriage prospects are even more of a headache.

Shi Ju was an honest and upright official who died for the public good. Logically speaking, Li Shou should properly take care of Shi Ju's widowed mother and orphan daughter, and also worry about Shi Lianchun's marriage. But this would have to wait for three years.

Li Shou had already arranged a stable life for Shi Lianchun and her daughter, and did so in accordance with their wishes. Three years later, Shi Lianchun would be nineteen years old. It wasn't that she couldn't be married, but relatively speaking, she would be considered an old maid.

It's not easy to propose marriage.

But Meng Shisan thought that with Li Shou, the Crown Prince, around, Shi Lianchun wouldn't be unable to get married, even if she was older. It would just be difficult for her to find a husband who truly suited her.

She hadn't mentioned it before, but now that it's being brought up, she wants to say something, yet she really can't say anything.

Ultimately, everything we say now is just for now, and no one can say for sure what things will be like three years from now. If the future doesn't apply, then saying anything now is pointless.

After Dong Linglong finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Shi Lianchun broke the deadlock: "It's alright. My mother said that letting things take their course is fine too."

Meng Shisan could hear the helpless sigh in Shi's mother's voice.

Jiang Ziyao had never had a good impression of Shi Lianchun. Whenever she saw Shi Lianchun, she would ignore her or they would not see eye to eye. But now, seeing Shi Lianchun smiling and saying such words, she suddenly felt that she had gone too far in some ways.

"Don't worry, I will definitely help then, and I will also ask my mother to help," she said.

Shi Lianchun looked at Jiang Ziyao in surprise.

Jiang Ziyao added, "I'll be sixteen in three years, and my mother will have to find me a husband. It won't be a big deal to bring you along."

"Then thank you in advance, thank you Madam Jiang." Shi Lianchun's smile became even more genuine.

Jiang Ziyao waved her hand: "No need, no need, it's no trouble at all."
