The dinner was very lively, but Lu Shouchang and Lu Yunhong were not there.
Chen explained to Wang Xiu: "Your father-in-law doesn't like to join in the fun, so Yun Hong went to accompany him."
Wang Xiu looked at Ding and her two daughters and nodded clearly.
After dinner, Mrs. Chen asked Lu Yunran to take his two cousins to play. Lu Yunran understood and even took Lu Yunyuan and Lu Yunzhu away.
Only Chen, Ding, and Wang Xiu were left in the room.
Wang Xiu also stood up and said: "Mom, aunt, I'll go back first."
Ding grabbed Wang Xiu and said, "Don't leave, stay here and think about it for your eldest sister."
Wang Xiu was suspicious and looked at her mother-in-law: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Yun Ran?"
Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing. Your aunt said that there is a scholar in Suzhou, named Duan Qiwen, who has a rich family and noble character. He wants to come and propose marriage to your eldest sister."
Wang Xiu was surprised: "So fast?"
She was just thinking about preparing a dowry for her sister-in-law today, and now someone has come to propose marriage?
Chen said: "It's just talk, it's not decided yet, I'm unhappy."
Wang Xiu knew that her mother-in-law had misunderstood her, so she said, "I just didn't expect that someone would want to propose marriage to Yun Ran just after we came back."
"Since that man invited my aunt, why don't we listen to her first."
Mrs. Chen also meant the same thing, so she nodded and looked at Mrs. Ding.
Mrs. Ding said with a smile: "There are many families who have asked me to come and marry them. Not to mention others, there are quite a few in Mudu. They say that they are old acquaintances of the eldest sister and they want to marry their children, but I just look at it.
So I didn’t respond.”
"This family is quite famous in Suzhou Prefecture. You will find out after a little inquiry. His father used to be the deputy director of the Salt Class Examination Department. Now he is at home, but he has already passed the exam to become a scholar. He is twenty this year.
At the age of four, he already has a wife."
Wang Xiu frowned, so the official in the salt class examination department was just Duan Qiwen's father, and he was no longer on duty. Duan Qiwen was already twenty-four years old, and he still wanted to marry a sixteen-year-old girl?
Moreover, people in ancient times got married very early, such as Yuan Shen and Lu Yunhong. They were 18 and 16 years old at the time. They were really a young couple.
As of now, she and Lu Yunhong are both one year older in the new year, but Lu Yunhong is only twenty, and she is only eighteen. No matter what, he is still a few years younger than Duan Qiwen.
Wang Xiu immediately said: "It's not suitable, forget it."
Ding's lips froze. She didn't expect Wang Xiu to reject it so quickly.
Mrs. Chen was still hesitant, so she asked Wang Xiudao: "Have you chosen a good family?"
Wang Xiu shook his head: "No, I just think that Duan Xiucai is a bit older."
"Pfft." Ding laughed.
She thought it was some kind of problem, so she said calmly: "It's better for men to be older, and they will be more affectionate when they are older. What's more, this scholar will be preparing for autumn this year, and he may go to high school by then. In this way, they will be together."
The family’s family background is not bad.”
"And when it comes to men being older, I'm afraid you don't know. Your father-in-law is six years older than your mother-in-law, and your uncle is nine years older than me."
Wang Xiu: "..."
"So what? It's not like sister Yun Ran can't find a partner, so there's no need to improvise."
"Not to mention whether this piece of literature can pass the Juren Examination. Even if it passes, there are still the National Examination and the Imperial Examination. There are many scholars in the world, and there are even more famous ones. As for our family Yun Ran's appearance, he can't do it.
Why don’t you go to the Hanlin Academy to find it?”
Ding was a little angry when she heard this, and said in a strange tone: "This Hanlin Academy is full of talents employed by the royal family, can you find them?"
Wang Xiu nodded: "I can find it!"
Ding: "..."
Seeing that Ding was stunned, Mrs. Chen thought she didn't believe it and continued to strike: "Axiu can be found. Among other things, her father is the prince's young master, and he has many young talents under his command."
"Well, Axiu is right, we have to go to the Hanlin Academy to find him."
Ding: "..."
"What if I can't find it?"
Wang Xiu stood up and said: "If you really can't find it, then go to the Imperial College to look for it. If you can't find it again, I will come forward to ask for help from the eldest princess."
When the conversation came to this point, Ding had to suppress it first.
But this time when she came to the Lu family, Duan Qiwen gave her five hundred taels of silver. Even if the marriage didn't happen in the end, at least she wanted Lu Yunran to meet Duan Qiwen.
When the time comes, it won't be Wang Xiu who has the final say whether to marry or not.
Mrs. Chen was deeply moved when she saw that Wang Xiu cared so much about her daughter.
She said to Wang Xiudao: "Since you said that, I'm relieved. I want to stay with Yunran for two more years."
Wang Xiu said quickly: "That's right. It's not good for a woman to get married too early."
After that, he listed some things that caused women to get married too early and lead to difficult childbirth.
Ms. Chen became more and more cautious after hearing this, but Ms. Ding looked at Wang Xiu's belly and said suspiciously: "They say that my nephew's wife is good at medicine. You and Yun Hong have been married for so long and have no children. Could it be that you have intentional..."
Mrs. Chen also looked at Wang Xiu nervously, fearing that she really didn't want children.
Wang Xiu didn't know that the fire was burning on him, so he immediately said vaguely: "How could it be?"
"Yunhong always slept in the same bed with me before, saying she was my mother..."
Mrs. Chen remembered what she had told her, and her old face turned red for a moment, and she quickly said: "We were on the road at that time, and I thought it would be bad for you to suffer the bumps."
"Now you can decide for yourself what's going on between you and your husband. Mom has nothing to do with it."
Wang Xiu lowered his head and whispered: "Really?"
Mrs. Chen thought Wang Xiu was embarrassed and said quickly: "Of course it's true. Go back quickly, Yun Hong should be waiting for you right now."
Wang Xiu nodded immediately, and before leaving, seeing that Ding had not left yet, she was still a little worried that her mother-in-law would change her mind.
After she returned to her room, she saw Lu Yunhong writing a letter to Ji Yunwei. The handwriting... was as elegant as the wind, flowing like clouds and flowing water, which made people's eyes light up.
However, she was not in the mood to appreciate it now, but said: "My aunt came here because of Yun Ran's marriage. She said that Duan Xiucai from Suzhou Prefecture, named Duan Qiwen, whose father used to be on duty in the salt class."
When Wang Xiu opened his mouth early, Lu Yunhong's writing was a bit heavy.
By the time Wang Xiu finished speaking, he had already finished in a hurry.
"No! That Qi Wen is not a good person!"
When Lu Yunhong said this, his voice was extremely firm and filled with disgust.
Wang Xiu sensitively realized that Lu Yunhong should know this Duan Qiwen.
When Lu Yunhong heard Wang Xiu's thoughts, he couldn't help but snorted coldly.
Not only did he know Duan Qiwen, but he died in his hands in the end. On the surface, he was a humble gentleman, but in fact he was vicious and vicious. After the marriage, he not only punched and kicked Yun Ran, but even wanted to use Yun Ran in exchange for career fame.
Such beasts thought they would never meet again in this life, but unexpectedly, he actually asked his aunt to be a matchmaker.
How ridiculous!
Don't say that Lu Yunhong is no longer as depressed as he was in his previous life. Even if he was, he would never allow Duan Qiwen to run wild in front of him!
Wang Xiu saw that Lu Yunhong's face was getting more and more ugly, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? If you know something, tell me quickly? Don't hurt Yun Ran and regret it for the rest of his life!"
Wang Xiu's concerned look made Lu Yunhong gradually come to his senses, and at the same time, he suddenly understood.
Whenever Wang Xiu is really worried about someone or something, her heart is peaceful and there is no sarcastic sound at all.
At this time, she should be worried about him...
Lu Yunhong suddenly took a step forward and hugged Wang Xiu tightly in his arms. But before he could say anything, Wang Xiu's heartbeat suddenly started.
Damn... looks like this?
Could it be that Duan Qiwen came to propose marriage because he likes you?
