Chapter 331 Child, will you help him find a wife?
"Grandma, do you have something to say?"
The old woman looked weakly at Ning Bao.
"Young lady, can I ask you for a favor?"
Ningbao frowned and thought for a moment.
"Grandma, please tell us first."
Ning Bao has been "wandering" in society for more than three years.
She knew the phrase "asking for a fortune".
There is another phrase, "act within your means".
She didn't recognize the old woman, and had no idea what kind of person she was.
So when the old woman said she had something to ask of her, she didn't immediately agree but asked the old woman to state her request first.
A young woman in the crowd walked up to the old woman and helped her up. The old woman looked at the young woman kindly, then looked at Ning Bao.
"Little girl, I am Chen Boyu's mother."
Ning Bao nodded slightly.
"Chen Boyu? Scholar Chen? Is he the uncle who just left with my father?"
Grandma Chen nodded.
"Yes, my son Boyu is a Juren (a successful candidate in the imperial examinations)."
When the incident happened in the village, my son Boyu wasn't home, so he escaped unharmed.
This makes me very happy; at least our Chen family still has a ancestry.
"Does Grandma Chen want to see Uncle, the scholar? That's easy. I'll arrange for you to meet when he gets back."
Ning Bao breathed a sigh of relief; it was no trouble at all for Chen Boyu to arrange for his family to meet in the village.
She didn't expect that Old Mrs. Chen would shake her head.
"Little girl, no need."
These days I can see my son Boyu every day, but he can't see me.
I can understand how heartbroken and remorseful he was because of our passing. If he saw me, he would definitely be reminded of those unhappy things again.
I am so happy to see him start a new life in his new village.
Ning Bao frowned.
"So, what does Grandma Chen want me to do?"
"Child, can you help him find a wife?" Old Mrs. Chen looked at Ning Bao with a pleading expression.
Ning Bao was stunned by what Old Lady Chen said.
"Looking for... a wife?"
"Grandma Chen, Ningbao isn't very good at finding a daughter-in-law."
"Shall we change to another one?"
Ning Bao had a sudden inspiration.
"How about I find an older brother or sister for Uncle, who is a scholar?"
She seemed to have heard her master say that when he and Master Fan took Aunt Qiao and Uncle Juren away, they addressed each other as brother and sister.
This scholar uncle's brother has her master and Master Fan, and his sister has Aunt Qiao, so it's much simpler than finding a wife.
Old Mrs. Chen shook her head again.
"Young lady, I think it's better for you to find a wife."
No matter how good his older brother or sister is, they can't stay with him forever, let alone have his children.
A wife is different; she can not only bring him life but also bear him children and continue his lineage.
That way, he won't be alone in this family anymore. I can rest assured knowing he has a wife and children to keep him company.
Ningbao sighed, resting her chin on her hand.
"Grandma Chen, Ningbao is not even four years old yet and has never been married."
I don't know how to get married, or how to find a wife.
Why don't you just treat my master as the wife of my uncle, who is a scholar?
Anyway, my master doesn't have a wife, so he and my uncle, who's a scholar, can take care of each other and grow old together.
Suddenly, the Taoist priest Sanqing, who was not far away, felt a chill run down his spine and sneezed loudly.
