Chapter 1365 Heartbroken
Long before the New Year, after talking with Bai Dalang, Mr. Bai tentatively leaked the news. Of course, it was impossible for him to say this kind of news in person.
Bai Shan reminded him that he should not limit his vision to one place, so he found the best official media in Luojiang County and suggested that the other party visit the surrounding states and counties. The other party understood it instantly.
Official media from all over the country have been in contact with each other. Although matchmaking is mostly circulated within a place, if no suitable person can be found locally, especially in some wealthy families, marrying out is also common.
All of these require a matchmaker to run around.
Most of the marriages in such wealthy families are arranged by private matchmakers, but when it comes to the final proposal and the name of the bride, they often ask an official matchmaker to help. As time goes by, the official matchmaker with the best business ability will have some connections, and will also get to know matchmakers from all over the country and expand their business.
Mr. Bai wants to find a wife for his son, so of course he can't just pick a girl at random without any clue, right?
So he went directly to the official media.
After the official media and Mr. Bai learned about the Bai family's financial situation and Bai Dalang's own conditions, they did not stay in Luojiang County and went directly to Mianzhou City to look for him.
Of course, it was impossible for her to conduct business in Mianzhou City on her own. Everyone has his or her own territory, and the territory cannot be violated, so when she arrived at the place, she directly found the official media she knew in Mianzhou.
It was just before the New Year, which is always the best time for matchmaking. Mr. Bai's family was not poor, and Mr. Bai's conditions were also good, so he would definitely look for someone higher up.
Such matchmaking is worth a hundred times of success, so both the official media of Luojiang County and the official media of Mianzhou City attach great importance to it.
During the Chinese New Year, the official media went door to door and quickly found three suitable families.
The two matchmakers discussed it and decided to start from the most senior one and go down to the next. They first mentioned it to the wife of the governor of Mianzhou because they also had a girl of marriageable age in their family.
After hearing about Bai Dalang's family background, the governor's wife politely declined.
The official media was not disappointed and turned to the growth history family next door. Their second daughter was also of the right age.
They didn't hold out much hope in the first place, but the historian of growth didn't say anything definitive, saying only that they hadn't seen the person yet, so they didn't know what he was like.
So the official media in Luojiang County told Mr. Bai.
Of course, the woman has to choose, and the man also has to choose. Both official media have learned about the background and requirements of both parties.
The official media in Luojiang County could confidently say, "Although Mr. Bai in our county lives in the countryside, his family is quite wealthy. Don't be fooled by their humble origins; they are descended from the Longzhou Bai family, making them considered a prominent family."
As an official media, he was the most well-informed. Bai Dalang had long been a target of attention among the major matchmakers in Luojiang County, so they were already quite familiar with the Bai family. If Mr. Bai showed off his background in front of the matchmakers, they would know him even better.
Of course, they did not just believe what the victim said, they also investigated indirectly with others.
It's just that three points of good were exaggerated by them into five points, and seven points of excellent, which is perfect.
The official media in Luojiang County dared to say with confidence that Bai Dalang was knowledgeable and of noble character, while the official media in Mianzhou City dared to guarantee that Miss Cheng was gentle, virtuous and beautiful.
Mr. Bai was not interested in the second Miss Cheng. After he knew about it, he first inquired about her growth history, her personality, and her official career, and then about the personalities of the two sons of the Cheng family.
After finding out that there was no big problem, he took Bai Dalang to Mianzhou City to meet Chengzhang Shi.
Under the pretext of New Year's greetings, Bai Dalang and Miss Cheng Er also met from a distance.
Of course, Miss Cheng Er was much more convenient than him. Bai Dalang dared to bet that when he was dealing with the growth history in the lobby, Miss Cheng Er must be standing behind the screen.
He was unlucky. He could only see her from a distance and could barely see what she looked like.
So when Mr. Bai asked him what he thought, he said he had no idea.
Seeing that he was undecided, Mr. Bai bypassed him and went to find Bai Shan.
He felt that Bai Shan was better than his son in terms of intelligence, vision, and relevant experience, as evidenced by the fact that he had already arranged a marriage with Zhou Man.
He told her about Cheng's family situation in detail, especially the information he had inquired about, and then looked at Bai Shan with bright eyes, "What do you think of this marriage?"
Bai Shan, who was still a teenager, pondered for a moment and asked, "Is the Cheng family very satisfied with my cousin?"
Mr. Bai slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "Isn't it? Although Master Cheng didn't say it explicitly after meeting him, he was very satisfied with Dalang. The official media also said that Master Cheng was interested."
But……
Mr. Bai glanced at Bai Dalang, feeling a little disappointed. He himself was also somewhat satisfied, but he was stuck with Bai Dalang.
Bai Dalang didn't say that he was dissatisfied, but it was this uncertain attitude that was the most annoying. After all, he was the one who married the wife, and it was he who would have to live with her in the future.
Bai Shan also felt that his cousin's attitude was not good, so he turned around and asked him, "Cousin, what do you think?"
Bai Dalang scratched his head and said honestly, "I don't know."
Bai Shan then said, "Uncle, my eldest cousin still doesn't understand Miss Cheng. Why don't you talk to the Cheng family again and have my eldest cousin and Miss Cheng sit down and talk, and then talk?"
Mr. Bai: "...You are dreaming. How could a girl raised that age allow a man from another family to be alone with her? It's not like you and Manbao have known each other since childhood."
Bai Shan became complacent and said, "But my grandmother said that you should marry a virtuous woman. You only know her father and brother. What if she is not as good as them and her character becomes crooked?"
Mr. Bai: ...
"Besides, you also said that it's my eldest cousin who's getting married, and he'll be the one to go on the day in the future. Of course, he has to meet the woman and get to know her better."
Bai Dalang nodded repeatedly, that's the truth.
When Master Bai saw this, he said unhappily, "You're nodding now. Why didn't you say anything when I asked you earlier?"
Bai Dalang: ...Didn’t you say that marriage is a matter of great importance, decided by parents and matchmaker?
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang encouraged Bai Dalang to go meet him. Bai Shan said, "Maybe Miss Cheng Er also wants to meet her eldest cousin?"
It is equally important for a woman to get married as it is for a man to get married. He didn't believe that Second Miss Cheng didn't want to talk to her eldest cousin.
Mr. Bai said worriedly, "I'll ask the matchmaker to talk to him, but if that happens, Chuba Dalang will definitely not be able to go to the capital with you."
Bai Dalang immediately said, "That won't work, Dad. The Imperial College also has a time limit for classes to start. If I'm too late, I'll be punished."
"But getting married is also a big deal..."
Bai Dalang thought for a moment and said, "If it's not suitable, then let it go. My son is not in a hurry to get married."
He said, "There are many people who get engaged after they reach adulthood, and my son is not the only one."
Although there are few people who marry late, it does exist, and Bai Dalang doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
But when Mr. Bai looked at Bai Shan, then turned to look at his two sons, he felt very upset.
