As a good sister within the boudoir circle, Chun Nuan was also anxious for Qiu Yan.
Chun Nuan kept Zhao Minghua's joking comment in mind.
She wrote to Qiu Yan, asking if she had any specific requirements.
Qiu Yan's reply was simple: At least the person should be pleasing to the eye, have agreeable conversation, be pleasant to interact with; a lifelong monogamous relationship, with no concubines or mistresses…
Don't tell her about rules, or being a supportive wife and good mother, unless it's of her own free will.
These thoughts of Qiu Yan's were somewhat rebellious in this era; such is the upbringing of a pampered girl.
The demands weren't many, but achieving them was rare in this world.
Chun Nuan had met Zhao Minghua's bookish second brother a few times, mostly during family banquets; they merely exchanged nods, and she hadn't noticed anything wrong… Well, the good part was that, so far, he had no concubines or the like around him.
The Zhao family's values were quite good.
