Liang Shuyan told Grandma Jin about this, and Grandma Jin immediately became very agitated: "What? It's that Wu Datou's stupid son? No way, how can this be allowed?"
Normally, Grandma Jin would not refute Liang Shuyan's words, but this time, for some reason, the old lady's reaction was particularly strong.
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Liang Shuyan was silent for a while before saying, "Since Mother is unwilling, let's just forget about it. Pretend I didn't say anything. I just think that Daya is of marriageable age. As long as the Wu family doesn't mind our Daya and two children, and the Wu family's conditions are not bad, then it's fine. What's wrong with that?"
Grandma Jin's eyes were like a pair of pearls about to pop out, and she suddenly stood up from the ground.
"What are you saying? You eat and drink at Lao Jin's house and make all the decisions, but what about our Daya? Now you want to send her to that idiot's house. What are you really thinking?"
These words startled Liang Shuyan. These words were clearly spoken by the original body of the old lady. Could it be that the original body of the old lady could split into two bodies again?
Liang Shuyan stepped forward and earnestly called out, "Mother, what's wrong? I just wanted to introduce Daya to a good place. After all, we can't be with Daya until she's old. Mother, how can you say that?"
Grandma Jin's expression gradually softened, and after a moment of silence, she said, "In that case, let's call Daya over and ask her what she thinks. If Daya is willing, then we can arrange the marriage."
Liang Shuyan understood what the old lady meant, and then took Jin Laotai's arm and said, "Mother, don't worry, I will arrange for someone to go to Manager Wu's house to investigate the situation in their inner quarters. I will definitely not let Daya suffer."
The old lady finally calmed down. She glanced at Liang Shuyan and said, "Mother, I know, this is what you're thinking about for Daya's future."
Just then, Jin Daya came in, wearing a gray long dress. She walked in happily and glanced at Liang Shuyan without any politeness, saying, "Sister-in-law, I heard that you introduced Daya to a marriage. Tell me, what kind of marriage is it?"
Liang Shuyan was at a loss for words. Old Mrs. Jin took Liang Shuyan's hand and said, "Look, our Daya is actually taking this to heart. You should talk to Daya and if she agrees to the marriage, we'll start making arrangements. It's been a long time since our family has had a lively time."
Liang Shuyan glanced at Jin Daya, then said, "It's Manager Wu's assistant. Do you agree?"
Jin Daya's eyes widened in surprise: "What? Wu Dazhu will agree to this marriage?"
Liang Shuyan nodded: "I agree, now it's up to you."
Jin Daya's eyes darted around for a moment, then she nodded: "Yes, I agree."
Liang Shuyan was surprised that Jin Daya agreed so readily. Old Mrs. Jin laughed heartily, "Good, since that's the case, let's hurry up and make preparations to arrange a marriage for our Daya."
Liang Shuyan nodded: "Okay, Mother, then we'll tidy up the house in the next couple of days and move to the new house first. Then we'll discuss the marriage with the Wu family and marry Daya off in the new house."
Daya blushed slightly and tugged at Old Madam Jin's arm, saying, "Mother, will the Wu family really agree to this marriage? I... I'm just worried about the two children..."
Grandma Jin said with a stern face, "Nonsense! Your sister-in-law has already arranged everything for you. How could the Wu family disagree? They often come to our Jin family to pick up goods!"
After Liang Shuyan finished speaking, she arrived at her new home. After the eldest prince left, someone had already cleaned up all the supplies.
Inside the main room, she opened a cabinet and was shocked to find a purplish-red wooden box containing rows of neatly arranged gold ingots. She was so startled that she almost dropped it on the ground.
He hurriedly put the gold ingots back into the box, trembling as he placed them back into the cabinet and closed the door.
"What, what happened? Did the Crown Prince and the others forget about this when they left in such a hurry?"
Liang Shuyan hesitated for a moment as she walked out of the house. Just as she was about to close the door, she saw the Crown Prince's personal guard chasing after her and jumping off his horse.
"Madam, I have been ordered to deliver a letter!"
Liang Shuyan looked at the guard in surprise: "How is it? According to the time, you should have arrived in the capital. What happened? Did you come so soon, or did something happen on the way?"
The guard hesitated for a moment: "No, we have indeed arrived in the capital, but the little princess and the eldest prince told us to give this letter to Lady Cha. I am here on their orders."
Liang Shuyan took the letter, opened it, and learned that the letter was meant to tell her about the brocade box in the wardrobe. It turned out that the eldest prince had left the box of gold ingots as a way of thanking her.
Liang Shuyan naturally refused to accept it. She handed the box of gold ingots to the guard with both hands and said politely, "I cannot accept these things. It is an honor for our small family, Daling Village, to have the Crown Prince stay in our home. I cannot accept the Crown Prince's money under any circumstances. Please take it back and give it to the Crown Prince."
The guard immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "No, Madam Cha, I cannot accept these things. Otherwise, how can I explain these matters when I return? Please understand my predicament, Madam Cha."
Liang Shuyan hesitated for a moment, then bit her finger until it bled, and ripped off a piece of her clothes. On it were written two sentences: "It is an honor for our Daling Village that Your Highness has come to visit us, and it is an honor for our family that you are staying in our home. How could this humble subject dare to accept your gold and silver? This humble subject kowtows to thank the Crown Prince for his kindness. Please take good care of the little princess. This humble subject is content!"
After finishing writing, he folded the cloth and handed it to the guard: "Don't worry, the Crown Prince won't make things difficult for you when he sees this. Take this box of silver back and give it to the Crown Prince!"
Liang Shuyan patted the horse's back, and the horse trotted away.
The guard glanced at Liang Shuyan with a hint of helplessness, then turned and left.
If the Emperor finds out about this, wouldn't he be looking down on her, a mere tea lady? Putting aside everything else, the Emperor has already bestowed so many gifts upon her; how could she possibly accept the Crown Prince's gifts?
Da Shan packed his things, and his family members neatly packed their belongings and put them on the horse-drawn carriage. They then slowly pulled the carriage full of things to their new home.
