After seeing off the He family couple, Mu Yi'an and Jiang Shuyun sat on the couch, thinking about the day's events.
"Write a letter to your elder brother about this matter. Write down everything you know clearly, and don't let your subjective opinions interfere."
"We've written down everything we know about the He family. The rest is up to our eldest brother and the others to decide."
Mu Yi'an never expected that things would come full circle back to them.
Playing matchmaker is the thing Mu Yi'an hates most.
"I know, I will write it clearly."
If the He family hadn't come, I really wouldn't have expected this to happen.
Over the years, although we've maintained contact, it's mostly just exchanging gifts during holidays; we haven't really had much contact with our families.
"No, that's not true. If it weren't for his grandmother's birthday celebration and us going to offer our congratulations, I wouldn't have even recognized Mrs. He."
Mu Yi'an thought back to that day on the street; she was initially confused, but then she remembered.
What are the specific details about his family?
"The He family is considered a large clan in the prefectural city, but Manager He's family is just a minor branch, living off the main family."
Jixian Pavilion Bookstore was one of the top bookstores in the Dali Dynasty, with branches in some of the better county towns.
Manager He has been the manager of the bookstore in Xinyuan County for many years.
The rest is what they said themselves, and I don't know either.
As for his youngest son, I have no recollection of him and don't know what kind of person he is.
Jiang Shuyun recalled hearing other students talk about it when she was at the county school.
"This is such a hassle. Just thinking about the future, with five children in our family, this whole marriage thing is giving me a headache."
At that time, free love was not allowed; marriages were all arranged by parents and matchmakers.
But are the matchmaker's words always accurate?
Mu Yi'an found the thought terrifying, but thankfully, there were still a few years left, and Shao Ming was only thirteen years old.
"I have no experience in this matter either. Let's slowly expand our social circle. Maybe our destiny will come naturally."
Jiang Shuyun didn't have a good solution either. In most cases like this, it's the matriarchs of the household who pull each other together, and it's rarely the father who makes the decision.
Since his family doesn't need a marriage alliance or any vested interests involved, things should be better.
The two of them suddenly felt that they had a long way to go.
After expressing her feelings, Jiang Shuyun went to her study to write a letter to her elder brother, Jiang.
Mu Yi'an was thinking about how to gradually expand her social circle, which was quite difficult!
Another thing is, what if the children grow up and leave the city, and then meet someone they like?
Mu Yi'an, who is not even thirty years old, is already thinking about his future daughter-in-law. My goodness, that's terrifying.
Startled, Mu Yi'an fell asleep lying down. In her dream, several girls surrounded her, calling her "Grandma," which woke her up.
"What's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare? As soon as I came in, I heard you shout something?"
"I dreamt that several girls surrounded me and called me 'Grandma.' I felt like Tang Sanzang who had fallen into the Spider Cave. That feeling was terrifying."
Mu Yi'an couldn't help but shudder; it was truly terrifying.
"Ha ha……"
Jiang Shuyun couldn't help but burst into laughter when she imagined the scene.
That's all for now regarding the He family's affairs. The letter is finished and has been sent.
The children played in the village for a short day and rushed back before dinner.
"Mom, look what I brought back for you!"
Shao Rong ran in shouting, carrying something in her hand.
"What is that?"
"Mother, look, a lotus bud. I finally found it."
Shao Rong carefully waved the lotus bud in her hand; it was small and looked very fragile.
"Thank you, Shao Rong. Mother likes it very much and will put it in a vase in a little while."
Go wash up, dinner will be served soon.
Mu Yi'an took the flower bud from Shao Rong's hand, carefully carried it into the room, found a vase, put it in, and didn't forget to pour some water in.
"Did Anran and Ankang go home?"
"Yes, we're back. Mom, we caught fish by the stream today, and we grilled them. They were so delicious!"
At the age of nine, Chuyue was very playful and loved going to the village.
However, she was still very serious when doing her homework.
Now, Qu Zi plays quite well, and her handwriting is much better than her mother's.
She's good at needlework and cooking; not an expert, but better than average.
Seeing that she was studying so diligently, Mu Yi'an didn't stop her from playing.
For a girl, the best years are those when she can play freely at her parents' home.
As long as Chuyue has learned everything she needs to learn, Mu Yi'an will not rigidly and dogmatically demand that she become a perfectly qualified lady from a prominent ancient family.
Chuyue only needs to know what she cannot do, and that's enough.
After washing up, the children were hungry and prepared to eat.
After resting, it's time to study hard.
Those who went to school and those who studied at home all took their places.
Mu Yi'an also needed to take stock of the family's accounts and handle some household chores.
It was several days later when Brother Jiang received Shuyun's letter.
What did Shuyun say in her letter?
When Jiang's mother learned that Shuyun had written a letter, she quickly inquired about it, fearing that something bad might have happened.
The most important thing at home right now is Shao Ming and Shao Yun's provincial examination in August. It's only June now, so there are still two months to go.
"Shuyun said that Manager He from Jixian Pavilion in the county went to him to inquire about Chutong."
Manager He has a young son who is eighteen years old and has just passed the prefectural examination.
The He family is also preparing to arrange a marriage for their youngest son. They said they met Chu Tong in the prefectural city and felt a connection, so they went to Shu Yun to inquire whether Chu Tong was engaged.
