"Yes."

Wen Zhaoming did not hesitate but gave a positive answer.

Wen Jiahong frowned and asked:

"Ming Ge'er, we're not trying to stop you from getting married, but what are you going to do with your sister?"

"I have already made an agreement with Miss Wen that after we get engaged, Miss Su will take Yueyue to Sujiazhuang to educate her. Even after we get married, Yueyue will stay with us.

Yueyue has been smart since she was young. As the eldest brother, I don’t want to hinder her. I hope she can study hard and pass the imperial examinations in the future, so that my mother’s bloodline will not be broken.”

Wen Zhaoming answered seriously.

Although there were certain external reasons for his decision, he was more concerned about his sister. Even if he had to sacrifice himself, it would be worth it as long as his sister had a bright future.

The village chief nodded after hearing this. He understood why Ming Ge'er chose this way. Then he sighed and said:

"Ming Ge, as long as you are willing, we will definitely not stop you. We are just worried that Miss Su has promised you something good now. What if she treats Yueyue and you harshly after you marry her in the future?

To be honest, your marriage is not a good match, and I'm afraid that you and Yueyue will suffer in the future.

I have met Miss Su. She is a very pretty girl with strong opinions. I am afraid that she will take advantage of you and Yueyue, and we will not be able to protect you then.

Besides, you two are both in mourning period, so there is no need to rush into getting engaged."

Village Chief Wen still has some knowledge. She always feels that this marriage is not very reliable.

Wen Zhaoming knew that if he didn't make some things clear, the village chief would probably not be willing to help him. After all, if something really happened in the future, the village chief would be blamed.

"Auntie Village Chief, to tell you the truth, I was forced to do this.

Before winter, Yueyue was almost sold. After the first snow, Wen Xiaoxiao, the village scoundrel, wandered around my house in broad daylight. I shot an arrow at her and she ran away. Two nights later, she came over my wall again.

Fortunately, in order to guard against thieves, I inserted wooden spikes on the earth wall and set traps at the base of the wall, so the thieves did not succeed. However, I couldn't even sleep a full night.

There is no such thing as a thief who can steal for a thousand days. Besides, Yueyue is still young. What if she is hurt?

It just so happened that Miss Su's relatives were planning her marriage. After all, she was a student and had a bright future. As long as he became Miss Su's husband, he would not be rich, but would have enough food and clothing.

Besides, Miss Su missed this year's provincial examination because she had to observe mourning for the death of her parents. If she could have taken part in the examination, she would have been more than qualified to pass the examination and become a scholar. In the eyes of some people in the county, Miss Su is also a piece of fat meat.

So in order to avoid these calculations and to control her own destiny, Miss Su proposed marriage to me."

"Ming Ge'er, you silly boy, isn't she clearly using you as a shield? What if she finds a better choice after she graduates from high school and divorces you? Wouldn't your second half of life be ruined?"

Wen Jiahong said anxiously.

"I know, but isn't this my advantage? I just want to preserve my family's bloodline. She needs someone to take the position of Zhengjun. If that day comes, I will give up this position without hesitation. She will thank me and compensate me. No matter how you calculate it, I will not suffer any loss."

Wen Zhaoming smiled and said.

When Miss Su proposed to marry him, he thought about all these things over and over again carefully. Although she said that she liked him, he was really happy to hear that, but he was very self-aware and it was normal for him to be used as a shield.

"Hey! You kid."

Village Chief Wen sighed.

After listening to Wen Zhaoming's words, she also knew that the child had made up his mind. It was meaningless for her to persuade him any further. The most important thing now was to settle the matter as soon as possible so that those who had ulterior motives would give up their thoughts completely.

"Auntie, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"I understand. Since you are willing, I will do as you wish. However, we still have to be polite. We can't let Miss Su make the decision just because you are from a farming family."

Village Chief Wen also has his own persistence.

"Miss Su said that everything should be done according to etiquette."

Wen Zhaoming said embarrassedly.

"Mother, Miss Su just said that she will send an official matchmaker to your house tomorrow."

Wen Jiahong reminded.

"Okay, I'll ask Hong'er to pick you and Yueyue up tomorrow morning. I'll wait for her family's matchmaker to come."

The village chief made the decision directly.

Things on Wen Zhaoming's side have basically been settled, but the village chief didn't want to force certain people into a corner, so he didn't spread the news.

Lianyi on the other side was much more relaxed. After returning to his own farm, he began to make arrangements. An He and two guards were in charge, and a head of Su Zhuang was also involved. The first step in proposing marriage is to accept the betrothal gift. When the matchmaker represents the Su family and comes to the door, he must prepare gifts that symbolize good luck.

Lianyi turned the tea lid in her hand and said helplessly:

"It's already halfway through winter, and we can't get geese. We have to prepare other gifts."

An He secretly glanced at his young lady and really didn't want to talk. His young lady really did what she wanted and even put it into action. When the news got out, who knows how many people would be secretly regretful.

"Hehua, Cuihua is going to pick up the matchmaker. Can she arrive tomorrow?"

Lianyi asked worriedly.

".I think so!"

Lotus really didn't want to answer her young lady's question.

The fastest way from here to Qingshan County by horse carriage is three days. A day and a night is enough time for a warrior woman like them to ride a horse at full speed. I don't know if they will have enough energy to go to Wenjia Village to propose marriage after the matchmaker arrives.

"It's good that the person can come. For the subsequent matchmaking, just pay double the amount."

"An He, prepare the jewelry, silk, furs, and food you are going to send. Don't delay the visit tomorrow."

"Yes, ma'am."

An He agreed immediately. The girl in her family was the one who was rich and willful. However, those things originally belonged to her and she could use them however she wanted.

Lianyi slept soundly. When she woke up the next day, she washed up, changed into new clothes, had breakfast, and then waited eagerly for the matchmaker.

At this time, Lotus was still riding her horse at full speed, looking at the matchmaker who was vomiting all over the place with some disgust. If the young lady was not in a hurry and the matchmaker had a good reputation, she really didn't want to bring him here. There were too many things to do. He also brought a big bag with him for matchmaking, and that bag was on the back of another horse. Without this burden, she could go faster.

"Haven't we reached Sujiazhuang yet? Ugh."

The matchmaker asked with a pale face.

“Almost there!”

Lotus said with some disgust.

"You've been talking about this all night. If you don't tell me, I'm going to throw up my guts."

After Shen Meigong finished speaking, he began to dry heave again, because he really had nothing to vomit.

"Mr. Shen, if you hadn't vomited all the way, we might have arrived earlier."

"Oh, I... I don't want to either!"
