Chapter 343 Unexpected Things

"Has your son met my niece?"

This was the first time Jiang Shuyun had encountered something like this, and she was a little unsure how to respond.

"Last time, before the prefectural examination, we ran into Mrs. Jiang and her entourage on the street and had a brief meeting."

A while ago, I thought that since the child was getting older, it was time to ask him to get married, so I brought it up once.

The child then remembered seeing your niece last time, and I remembered it too; I thought the child was very pleasing to the eye.

Mrs. He praised Chu Tong that day and even offered the children gifts, which Mu Yi'an declined. However, she didn't have a strong impression of the He family's youngest son.

There were many people that day; she brought Jiang's mother, Jiang's sister-in-law, her own sister-in-law, and several children.

Mrs. He was accompanied by several people. They greeted each other and then quickly parted ways.

"Manager He, we've known each other for so many years, so I'll just tell you the truth."

Our family separated a long time ago, and my parents and my brother and sister-in-law live together.

We have a good relationship, but as her uncle and aunt, we can't make decisions about her marriage.

Manager He is a good person, and his family is probably not bad either. Your son is about to take the imperial examination, so it seems he is doing well in his studies.

I can only write back to tell you about your situation to your parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law. As for what will happen next, I really can't say.

Moreover, they've been back from the prefectural city for over a month, and I don't know if their families have arranged any marriages for them.

Jiang Shuyun knew something about the He family, but not about the youngest son of the He family.

“When a family has a daughter, many families will want to marry her. We are afraid that if our daughter has already been arranged to marry someone, it will be difficult to find a matchmaker to come and propose marriage in a big way. So we came here ourselves to let them know.”

Manager He knew that the Jiang family had split up; he had heard about it in the county.

"Alright, I'll write a letter back and tell you about your son's situation. Once we get a reply from home, I'll tell Manager He about it."

"That will be troublesome. We'll be in the prefectural city for a while. I'll leave my address here, and we can talk again later."

Mu Yi'an invited the He couple to lunch. Whether the marriage would go through or not was another matter; they had become some of the better friends they had since arriving here.

The lunch was a pleasant one for both the host and guests.
