“Alright, I’ll send an invitation to Manager He tomorrow. My parents, brother, and sister-in-law will bring Chu Tong to my place and we can find a chance to meet.”
"That's for the best. Let Chu Tong see the person, so I won't feel uneasy."
You and your father should also talk to the He family's children and see what kind of people they are.
We inquired about it privately, and Shuwen also helped us inquire; they said it was good.
Jiang's mother thought this was a good idea; it's always better for a girl to be careful when looking for a husband.
Jiang Qi's parents were truly uneasy because of what happened to Jiang Qi.
Brother Jiang and Sister-in-law Jiang had no objections, and Jiang Shuyun also mentioned that she would be returning to Jiangjia Village tomorrow.
"Okay, I'll go back with you tomorrow."
Jiang's father hasn't been back for a while either. This year there's been a drought, with no rain and persistently high temperatures.
He didn't dare to go out much, afraid of catching a heatstroke and suffering the consequences himself.
The next day, Jiang Shuyun first wrote a visiting card and had it delivered to the He family.
He took Shao Ming with him, then picked up Jiang's father and Shao Ning, and they returned to Jiangjia Village together.
First, go to my third grandfather's house. No matter what I think, I can't let anyone find fault with my manners.
Third Grandfather was very happy to see Shuyun and the others. He already knew that Shaoming had passed the imperial examination and was pleased.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group went to the ancestral hall together to light incense and pay homage to their ancestors.
After the ceremony, Jiang Shuyun and the others went to the cemetery to pay respects to their ancestors.
Jiang's father's parents, grandfather, and great-grandfather are all buried in the same place.
Although this is the ancestral graveyard of Jiangjia Village, it has been divided into sections.
Jiang's father, along with Jiang Shuyun and the others, cleared away the weeds around the grave, cleaned it up, and laid out fruit and wine.
Jiang's father took the lead, kowtowing to the ancestors and telling them about the family's situation.
Finally, Jiang Shuyun helped Jiang's father up, and the group left the cemetery.
Jiang Shuyun told her third grandfather about Uncle Mian's family situation and the schooling of the two children.
"Third Grandfather, Shubai will also be taking the exam next year. He's doing quite well in his studies."
Jiang Shubo was about the same age as Jiang Shaoqin, but he started school later, so he never participated in the competition.
"Great, great, we're all thanks to you two."
The third grandfather was overjoyed; his grandson was about to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar.
After returning home for a while, Jiang's father and the others did not stay for dinner. They only went to Uncle Wang's house for a short time before returning to the county town.
Jiang Shuyun planned to return to the prefectural city after Chu Tongxiang finished reading.
