Manager He received Jiang Shuyun's visiting card, read its contents, and roughly understood its meaning.
A proper assessment requires both parties to have seen each other. Last time in the prefectural city, my youngest son noticed the Jiang family's daughter.
It's really unreasonable that the girl didn't notice her own son.
"Wife, Mr. Jiang has invited us to his house tomorrow. Please have Chengwen prepare everything properly."
I think the women of the Jiang family want to see Chengwen; otherwise, they won't feel at ease.
"Okay, I understand. We understand too. If we were the women, we would also want to meet them."
Mrs. He was quite open-minded. Although her youngest son wasn't as handsome as Pan An, he wasn't ugly either.
Manager He replied to the Jiang family's invitation, saying he would be there on time tomorrow.
That very day, Jiang's parents, elder brother, and sister-in-law, along with several children, went to Jiang Shuyun's house.
Since Mu Yi'an didn't come and there were no female relatives in the house, it would be perfect to invite Jiang's mother to come and keep order, which wouldn't seem abrupt.
Li Li and Yun Duo had tidied everything up inside and out, and had prepared tea, fruit, and snacks in advance.
Because she didn't bring a cook back, Yun Duo could manage simple meals, but not with a large group.
Jiang Shuyun asked Li Li to reserve a table at the restaurant, which would be delivered over shortly.
When the He family of three arrived, Jiang Shuyun greeted them at the door.
"Manager He, Sister-in-law He, please come in."
"Mr. Jiang, I apologize for disturbing you."
Manager He had his servants present the gifts, and the group entered the living room.
Jiang's father and mother sat in the main seats, while Jiang's elder brother and his wife sat to one side.
Jiang Shuyun led the He family of three in and introduced her parents.
"Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, greetings!"
The He family of three greeted Jiang's parents and then greeted Jiang's elder brother and sister-in-law.
Jiang's mother and sister-in-law looked at the young man from the He family; he was quite good-looking.
He was about the same height as Brother Jiang, and had a refined and gentle demeanor, but he didn't appear weak.
She has a good sense of propriety in her every move, and she's quite pleasing to the eye.
"I haven't congratulated Mr. Jiang yet. Your son has passed the imperial examination and is at the top of the list. His future is limitless."
Manager He's congratulations were sincere.
The Jiang family's son is only thirteen years old. With these grades, he will surely be on the honor roll in the future.
"Congratulations, congratulations! Your son is also on the list."
Jiang Shuyun looked at it and saw that He Jia's Chengwen ranked fifth, which was also quite good.
"He can't compare to your son. He's already eighteen, while your son is still so young."
"He passed the imperial examination at the age of eighteen and ranked fifth, truly a young prodigy."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, then both felt a little embarrassed.
Mrs. He, Jiang's mother, and Jiang's sister-in-law chatted about some trivial matters in the county town, and the conversation was quite lively.
"Mr. Jiang, what are your son's plans next?"
"Shao Ming wants to apply to Bailu Academy and study diligently for a few years."
Jiang Shuyun made it clear that his own son would also have to take an exam to get into Bailu Academy.
"Chengwen also plans to participate in the Bailu Academy's assessment."
Manager He knew the rules of Bailu Academy; it was a place where personal connections didn't matter, and there was no other way to get in except through the entrance exam.
"Mrs. He, you've been here for quite some time. Let my children come over and greet you."
Jiang Da Sao changed the subject, and Yun Duo immediately went downstairs to invite her young master, her cousin, and her cousin up.
"This is Uncle He, Aunt He. Please greet him."
Jiang Shaoqin took the lead, and the group exchanged greetings. Mrs. He then gave each of them a gift.
When he arrived at Chu Tong's place, he held her hand and couldn't bear to let go of it.
The Jiang family children were all good-looking; the boys were handsome and the girls were quiet and gentle. Although it was their first meeting, they were all very poised and at ease.
Chu Tong knew that today was a matchmaking event for her. She looked up at the young man from the He family and thought he was quite good-looking.
I saw it clearly; she looked a little embarrassed and lowered her head.
"Shao Qin, take Brother He to the study to talk."
"I understand, Grandmother."
Jiang Shaoqin agreed and went out again with He Chengwen, Shao Ming, and Shao Ning.
Since the appointed time was close to lunchtime, after chatting for a while, Yunduo came over to ask if we could start the meal.
The men and women sat at separate tables and enjoyed a nice lunch before the He family of three said their goodbyes and left.
Jiang's parents thought He's son was good, and Jiang's eldest son and his wife were also satisfied, so the marriage was basically settled.
Jiang Shuyun did not express his opinion. He thought the He family's child was well-spoken and quite well-behaved.
As for what will happen in the future, nobody knows.
Marriage requires mutual support and understanding; it's not a simple matter. No one can guarantee that the couple will live happily ever after.
However, finding someone with good character at least guarantees that even if things don't work out in the future, you won't be mistreated.
Since everyone felt it was a good match, the Jiang family readily agreed when the matchmaker visited again.
The matchmaker takes the birth dates of both parties to the compatibility test. If there are no problems, the process of exchanging gifts and gifts continues.
Jiang Shuyun couldn't wait for Chu Tong to finish the ceremony, as Shao Ming still needed to go back to prepare for the entrance exam for Bailu Academy.
Because Shuyun and the others were leaving, the Jiang family gathered at the old house the night before to have a meal as a farewell gesture.
Jiang Lan also returned with her husband and child, and announced that she was pregnant again, already three months along.
"You're pregnant again. How's the reaction this time? Is it severe?"
Jiang's mother knew about her youngest daughter's heartache; having given birth to two daughters, she desperately wanted to have a son.
