This Aunt Wang is a matchmaker.
He has a good reputation and has acted as a matchmaker in the surrounding area, bringing many people together.
Of course, she has a conscience and doesn't usually make introductions casually; she always finds out before going to someone's door.
At the very least, they will explain the other party's situation clearly.
Therefore, it has become quite well-known in the area.
"Is Aunt Wang trying to set me up with a boyfriend?"
Ning Hong raised an eyebrow, wondering how to refuse Aunt Wang's kindness, when she saw Aunt Wang wave her hand.
"It's not you, it's not you, they've taken a liking to your younger sister, Xiaocao."
"That won't do. The grass is still too small."
“How is she young? Your Xiaocao is already eighteen years old, an old maid. In the village, eighteen-year-old girls already have two children. As her older brother, you should at least think about Xiaocao’s future.”
Aunt Wang was also aware of the Ning family's situation.
I know that there used to be a dragon in their family.
Of course, she didn't know that Long Lin was a half-demon; she only knew that he was a child they had taken in and raised.
At the time, she found it quite funny.
Two children, they took in another child and raised him—
However, the three children supported each other and grew up steadily.
Moreover, seeing that Xiaocao and Longlin were always together, she thought that Longlin would marry Xiaocao.
Unexpectedly, Long Lin left with another woman.
"No rush." There really is no rush.
Little Grass hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, so the matter of marriage can wait until she reaches the Golden Core stage.
Of course, it's not appropriate to say such things to Aunt Wang.
"Let me tell you about this person's conditions first, then you can consider it."
Aunt Wang couldn't help but reach out and pat Ning Hongze.
"This is a good family."
"this--"
Seeing that Ning Hong seemed to want to refuse, Aunt Wang interrupted him directly.
"You've heard of the Gongsun family in town, haven't you?"
The Gongsun family?
Ning Hong raised an eyebrow. "This is a wealthy family. How could our family be worthy of them? Besides, my Xiaocao will not be a second wife or a concubine. If she is to marry, she will marry with dignity."
"this--"
Hearing Ning Hongze's words, Aunt Wang hesitated for a moment. It was indeed a second wife, but in Aunt Wang's opinion, this marriage was really good.
After all, Xiaocao is already eighteen years old, which is a bit too old.
"This Master Gongsun is twenty-eight years old this year, ten years older than Xiaocao. His wife passed away ten years ago, and he has always cherished her memory, never remarrying. Such loyalty and affection truly make him a virtuous man. Besides, his first wife only bore him one daughter—"
The main reason why Master Gongsun wanted to remarry was because of this daughter.
Xiao Cao often carried herbs to town to sell, so Master Gongsun and Xiao Cao met several times.
When I was preparing to remarry, Xiaocao was the first person I thought of.
Of course, he didn't think the little grass would refuse such a good thing.
“Aunt Wang, I don’t think my Xiaocao is too old. I refuse this marriage proposal.” Ning Hong twitched the corners of her mouth.
"Young Master Ning, why don't you think it over more? Or, why don't you ask Xiao Cao?"
Xiaocao's difficulty in getting married was not only due to her age, but also partly because she and Long Lin were too intimate back then.
The two children had no suspicions of each other.
Such intimacy goes beyond just childhood sweethearts.
The villagers watched them grow up and naturally assumed they were a couple.
Of course, Aunt Wang couldn't say such things out loud.
“Being a stepmother is hard, and I don’t want Xiaocao to suffer like that. Besides, since he’s only thinking about his first wife, Xiaocao won’t be happy if she marries him. I’d rather raise Xiaocao myself than let her suffer like that.” Not being able to forget his first wife shows his loyalty and affection, but it’s extremely unfair to the wife he married later.
If he were to insist on comparing Xiaocao to his wife, how could a living person compare to a dead one? Not to mention there was also a girl involved.
If you treat her well, she might not appreciate it; if she treats you coldly, people will say that she, as a stepmother, is indeed not as good as her biological mother and has many problems.
Of course, these are just his thoughts. In this world, there are indeed stepmothers and children whose relationship is even stronger than that of biological children, but they are ultimately a minority.
"But--"
"Aunt Wang, I know you mean well for Xiaocao, but I really can't agree to this marriage."
After seeing Aunt Wang off, Ning Hong turned around and saw Ning Xiaocao squatting on her own wall, looking at him with her eyes fixed on him.
Clearly, she heard everything that was said.
"Brother, you are so good to me."
"Silly girl, you're my only sister. If I don't love you, who will I love?"
Even if he wants to care for others, he should wait until he finds Acha.
Master Gongsun, whose full name is Gongsun Kang.
His ancestors included immortals, and now he has a younger brother who cultivates in the Great Immortal Sect. Moreover, the Gongsun family is extremely wealthy, so most people in the town give him some respect.
That's why he was so sure that Ning Xiaocao wouldn't refuse him.
Unexpectedly, the Ning family rejected him.
"Have you made it clear to them that I want to marry Ning Xiaocao as my wife, my legal wife?"
Gongsun Kang could be considered to have kept himself clean and upright.
His wife has been gone for so many years, and he has stayed by her side for so many years. Anyone who hears about this will praise him for his loyalty and affection. As a result, there are quite a few women who want to marry him.
However, he had never found anyone he liked until he met Ning Xiaocao.
Ning Xiaocao has a very comfortable temperament. Although she is not extremely beautiful, she is still pretty and charming.
In short, she made him very eager to marry her.
He even had his daughter approach her.
His daughter was initially reluctant, but after meeting him once, she agreed.
They even urged him to marry her as soon as possible.
He immediately asked Aunt Wang to help him find a match.
But to my surprise, I was rejected.
"I already said that." Aunt Wang looked somewhat embarrassed.
If it were an ordinary matchmaker, she would probably berate the Ning family to explain her unsuccessful attempt. But Aunt Wang was not that kind of person. She simply relayed Ning Hongze's words.
Carefully and meticulously, without missing a single word.
"Why don't you go and take another look, Auntie? Don't ask Miss Ning's brother, just ask Miss Ning directly."
"That won't do. Marriage is a major event that naturally requires the consent of parents and the words of a matchmaker. Since Xiaocao's parents are no longer here, it is naturally up to her brother to decide."
These few words lowered Aunt Wang's impression of Gongsun Kang by a bit.
To tell her to ignore Hongze and go directly to Xiaocao is to belittle Xiaocao too much, isn't it? If Ning Hongze is not good to Ning Xiaocao, then of course it is acceptable to ignore Ning Hongze, but the problem is that Ning Xiaocao was raised by Ning Hongze with great difficulty, so why should she be ignored?
