Chapter 412 The marriage proposal failed?

Lin Huixin's home.

Lin Huixin, who was doing needlework in the courtyard, saw Li Guizhi and Ning Bao. She blushed and then stood up.

"Grandma Guizhi is here. Come in and sit down. I'll go call my mother."

The day before yesterday, Li Guizhi came to propose marriage. Her mother said she would consider it. Today, she must have come to find out what the other side thought.

Lin Huixin, being a young woman of marriageable age, shouldn't be involved personally.

So she called her mother over and then made an excuse to go back inside. Ningbao, seeing this, quickly got up.

"Sister Huixin, can Ningbao come play with you?"

Lin Huixin took Ningbao's hand.

"Of course you can. Come on, let Sister Huixin get you something delicious."

Inside the room, Ningbao ate the snacks Lin Huixin had brought while tentatively asking,

"Sister Huixin, do you know why my grandma came here today?"

Lin Huixin blushed slightly.

"You should know that, right?"

Ning Bao raised an eyebrow.

"Does Huixin think your mother will agree?"

Speaking of this, Lin Huixin sighed softly.

“Ningbao, my mother and my older brother don’t really approve of this marriage. They think he’s too old.”

"Sigh!" Ning Bao was also a little annoyed.

"This is indeed a bit troublesome. Everything else is fine, but there's no way to change the age."

…………

On the way back, Li Guizhi sighed helplessly.

"Ningbao, I don't think this marriage will work out."

The Lin family was adamant; they did not agree to the marriage.

It is said that someone introduced Huixin to a family in the next village. The man was a scholar, about the same age as Huixin, and had already passed the preliminary examination.

"Hmph!" Ning Bao snorted coldly.

"He's just a student who has passed the imperial examinations, while our teacher is already a successful candidate in the provincial examinations."

I used to think that Brother Dazhu's family was quite sensible, so why are they so clueless when it comes to Sister Huixin's marriage?

What will Sister Huixin do if she misses out on this marriage?

………………

Just as Li Guizhi and Ning Baogang left Lin Huixin's house, Lin Dajiang, who was out for a stroll, happened to see them leaving.

Lin Dajiang went directly into Lin Dazhu's yard.

"Sister-in-law, is Sister-in-law Guizhi here to discuss Huixin's marriage?"

Lin Dajiang and Lin Dazhu's grandfathers were cousins.

However, Lin Dazhu's grandfather passed away many years ago.

Lin Dazhu's real name is Lin Shuanzhu, but the villagers got used to calling him Dazhu and started calling him Lin Dazhu. However, his name on his household registration is still Lin Shuanzhu.

Lin Huixin's mother, Madam Xu, nodded.

"Fifth Uncle is here, Huixin, pour some water for your Fifth Grandfather..."

Lin Dajiang waved his hand.

"Don't bother, I'm not thirsty."

I heard that Sister Guizhi is trying to find a match for Huixin, is that true?

Ms. Xu nodded.

"Fifth Uncle, yes, I'm talking about Master Chen from the school."

Lin Dajiang was stunned for a moment.

"Master Chen? That's good."

Master Chen has been in our village for a while now. His character is impeccable; he's kind and gentle, and he's even a scholar who passed the imperial examinations. Judging from your expression, you haven't agreed?"

Ms. Xu nodded, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Fifth Uncle.

Master Chen is good, but he is far too much older than Huixin, which I don't think is appropriate.
