And he'll have time after the next exam, so he'll come to Jincheng to see me then.
Yunfei teased,
"Oh my! I didn't realize you guys were so thoughtful."
During his break, Mu Cheng'an returned to the village and told his parents and grandparents about his relationship with Wenrou.
They were overjoyed to hear that Mu Cheng'an had someone he liked, and promised to go to Jincheng to propose marriage next spring.
Although Shen Yuzhen had no objection to the marriage, she was still very uneasy, so she went to the Zhou family to find Su Jingshu.
"Sister Su, my Cheng'an says he's taken a liking to Wenrou..."
Although Su Jingshu sensed something amiss, she hadn't realized the two young people were developing feelings for each other so quickly.
"Have they already expressed their feelings?"
Shen Yuzhen nodded.
"Yes, both children have spoken out."
Sister Su, I'm a little uneasy. I heard that the Wen family is very wealthy. We are just ordinary farmers. Isn't it obvious that we are not good enough for them?
The two families live so far apart, which family wouldn't feel comfortable letting their daughter marry so far away?
However, I'm easygoing. If the Wen family finds it too far and the two children are willing, I wouldn't object if they settled in Jincheng, as long as they come back to visit when they have time.
Su Jingshu smiled.
“Sister Chen, don’t worry. As far as I know, the Wen family is quite well-off. Although we are farmers, we live no worse than those families in the prefectural city.”
Moreover, the Mu family is only just beginning. Rest assured, Wenrou marrying into our Cheng'an family is definitely not a step down for her..."
Su Jingshu received a letter from Zhou Chengxing a few days ago, in which Zhou Chengxing told her that the evidence for the original Xue family case had been almost completely collected.
Now we're just waiting for the right opportunity to present it to the Emperor. Once the Xue family regains its status, who knows what the future holds for the Mu family's children.
Guang Mu Cheng'an's status as the eldest grandson of the Xue family is enough to warrant the title of gentle.
Shen Yuzhen was unaware of all this; she simply assumed Su Jingshu was comforting her.
"Sister Su, I plan to propose marriage to the Wen family in Jincheng this spring. What do you think we should prepare?"
Su Jingshu thought for a moment,
"Yuzhen, don't worry. I'll go with you then. As for the things, don't prepare them yet. Just bring more silver and we'll arrange them according to the rules of Jincheng."
Actually, you really don't need to worry too much about this. I think the Wen family knows Wenrou's feelings for Cheng'an.
Otherwise, what family would let a girl of marriageable age run so far away?
If it were our Ningbao, she's so old, we definitely wouldn't feel comfortable letting her go out alone. I'm sure the Wen family knows that.
Now all we need to do is lower our expectations and propose to her.
Fifteen days later, Su Yuanzhi, Yun Fei, and Wenrou set off to return to their hometown.
Ning Bao and Mu Cheng'an escorted the convoy to Yunlu City before reluctantly watching it leave.
After Yunfei and her group left, Ningbao's life returned to normal. Apart from discussing shop matters with Mulaidi and Lin Jiayu, she spent her time replying to Shen Muyang's frequent letters.
During their free time, Ningbao and Mu Dasheng focused their energy on the back mountain.
It is late autumn now, the perfect time to plant fruit trees. Mu Chunping always collects many fruit trees every time he returns from Yunlu City.
For some varieties, Ningbao would even take his master to the mountains to dig them up, and before winter, they finally planted all the fruit trees they could find.
Time flies, and spring is here in the blink of an eye. Because the Mu family winery is busy with business, and the family has to do spring plowing, Mu Chunping definitely can't leave.
The task of proposing marriage in Jincheng fell to Shen Yuzhen, accompanied by Ning Bao and Mu Cheng'an.
Mu Cheng'an became nervous from the moment he boarded the carriage, while Ning Bao looked at her older brother with a helpless expression.
"Brother, I know you're excited to see sister-in-law. But we've only just set off, isn't it a bit too early for you to get excited?"
"How about we just use flying talismans?"
