Thinking of this, the hesitation on Mrs. Zhang's face gradually faded away, and she was filled with smiles.
"Mrs. Shen, since you are the one who proposed the matchmaking, this marriage is naturally excellent. However, now that my son is back, I still have to ask his opinion before finalizing it."
When Gu Meixiang heard what Old Madam Zhang said, she knew that the Zhang family should be safe, and her face was filled with joy.
When Gu Meixiang thought of Shen Yuyao's determined look yesterday, as if she was arranging a marriage for herself as if it were just a daughter of the Zhang family, she couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Seeing the expression on Madam Zhang's face at this moment, she thought to herself that she had finally completed the task assigned by her sister-in-law.
"It's the parents' order and the matchmaker's words, so naturally it needs Master Zhang's approval." Gu Meixiang continued to say to Madam Zhang with a cheerful face, "If Master Zhang has no other opinions, I'd like to ask Madam Zhang to give me a definite answer. My sister-in-law is waiting for my reply."
"Okay," Mrs. Zhang just said okay, and then she seemed to suddenly think of something and said, "I just don't know, is it my eldest granddaughter or my second granddaughter that Mrs. Shen likes?"
Gu Meixiang was stunned. She was busy accepting the task and helping Shen Yuyao's eldest son Xia Linan to act as a matchmaker.
However, even before she came, she knew that the Zhang family had two twin sisters. Gu Meixiang also thought that Shen Yuyao must have asked her to come to help her look at each other, and as for which one to talk about, she couldn't make the decision on her own.
"Madam Zhang, my sister-in-law said that if the Zhang family has no objection to this marriage, she would like to invite the two girls to their house for a gathering. She wants the two girls to take a look at her eldest son, and if either girl likes him, then the marriage will be confirmed."
Gu Meixiang paused briefly and continued, "If both sisters dislike her eldest son, then the marriage will be called off. She said that this would be fairer to the two sisters of the Zhang family."
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, her smile widened.
The man's family made such arrangements, which naturally gave enough face to the woman's family.
At this point, Madam Zhang no longer hesitated at all and nodded in agreement!
After seeing Gu Meixiang off, Mrs. Zhang called her daughter-in-law over and told her about the matter.
Her daughter-in-law was a filial and obedient person. When she heard Mrs. Zhang constantly praising the advantages of the man's family, she had no objection.
Mrs. Zhang took her daughter-in-law to the two sisters' boudoirs in the backyard and looked for them.
As soon as she entered the room, Mrs. Zhang saw that her eldest granddaughter had red eyes, while her younger granddaughter was comforting her.
Mrs. Zhang's heart skipped a beat. She quickly embraced Zhang Mingyu in her arms and asked with concern, "Mingyu, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing her grandmother and mother arrive, Zhang Mingyu quickly wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, then slowly stood up. She bowed to both and said, "Hello, Grandmother, Mother. Mingyu is fine."
Madam Zhang patted Zhang Mingyu's hand with a distressed look, and said with a smile: "Little Mingyu, don't be nervous. Madam Shen was indeed entrusted by someone to come and act as a matchmaker for you and Mingbao."
The two sisters looked as if they had known this for a long time. Zhang Mingbao said, "Grandma, my sister and I want to stay with you and mother for two more years. We don't want to get married yet."
Upon hearing this, both Old Lady Zhang and Madam Zhang looked delighted. Old Lady Zhang took Zhang Mingbao's hand and motioned for the two sisters to sit down.
"Mingyu, Mingbao, do you know who asked Madam Shen to do this? And who is she proposing marriage for?" Old Madam Zhang asked with a smile.
"Who is it?" the two sisters asked in unison.
Madam Zhang smiled and asked, "Do you know who is the only female scholar in the Great Xia Dynasty?"
"I know!" Zhang Mingyu and Zhang Mingbao, the two sisters, had heard a lot of rumors about Princess Ning. "Princess Ning!"
"It's a pity that she is no longer the princess." Zhang Mingyu felt a little regretful.
"So what if she's not the princess? I just like her chivalrous spirit." Zhang Mingbao retorted softly.
"Could it be? Are you talking about her home?" The two sisters suddenly realized and asked in surprise.
"That's right, Madam Shen is here to propose marriage for her eldest son, Xia Lin'an!" Madam Zhang said bluntly.
When Zhang Mingbao heard this, he felt as if his heart was suddenly pulled, and that round and fat face appeared in front of him again.
His extraordinary talent and hidden talents all came out at this moment.
"Grandma, I want to marry!" Zhang Mingbao finally couldn't help it and shouted anxiously directly to Madam Zhang.
The other three people present were all frightened by Zhang Mingbao.
Didn’t she just say that she and her sister wanted to stay with grandmother and mother for another two years?
Why as soon as I heard that it was Xia Linan, the eldest son of the Xia family?
Are you just rushing to get married without caring about anything?
"Do you know that everyone in their family has been demoted to commoners now?" Mrs. Zhang asked doubtfully.
She was worried that her second granddaughter might be so anxious because she mistakenly thought she was going to marry into the royal palace and become a princess.
"Of course I know!"
Zhang Mingbao said confidently, "Even though he is a commoner now, I still believe that with his talent and martial arts skills, he will not be buried."
At this moment, Zhang Mingyu suddenly remembered that Zhang Mingbao once said that he already had someone he liked, and that was the elder brother of the "young master" in the portrait.
Could it be that the big brother is Xia Linan?
Thinking of this, Zhang Mingyu was secretly happy for Zhang Mingbao. "In that case, Grandmother and Mother should quickly agree to this marriage."
Old Lady Zhang and Madam Zhang exchanged a glance, then pulled out two invitations and said, "It's just that this female scholar said that, for the sake of fairness, she wants to invite you two sisters to a gathering at her house. If either of you sisters likes the eldest son of the Xia family, she will marry him. If neither of you likes him, then the matter is over."
"Then let my second sister go to his house and the matter will be settled, right?" Zhang Mingyu's hesitant look just now was completely gone, replaced by a look of joy.
Mrs. Zhang saw it all and guessed it almost exactly.
Zhang Mingyu must have someone she likes.
Just happened to avoid this marriage.
"The Xia family invited you two sisters. Since your grandmother has accepted the invitation, it is natural that you two sisters should go together." Mrs. Zhang, who rarely expressed her opinions, couldn't help but interrupt at this time.
She is a person who pays great attention to etiquette and will never be rude to others because of this.
Besides, she is my future mother-in-law.
"Sister, can you please accompany me?" Zhang Mingbao also held Zhang Mingyu's hand and kept acting coquettishly.
"Okay, then I'll go with you to take a look." Zhang Mingyu couldn't persuade her, so he smiled and agreed.
"Grandma, what date is on the invitation?"
"Three days later."
