The Jiang family had no concubines or illegitimate sons; there were only boys in the household, and no maids in the courtyard.
Madam Gu's meaning couldn't be clearer: this was a decent family, though their social standing was a bit lacking, but they would definitely be worry-free.
"Aunt, why don't Jiang's parents move to the capital?"
Zheng Jinyu was a little curious: what kind of couple could be so at ease letting their child live independently?
"The Jiang couple both have their own things to do. One teaches at the academy, and the other enjoys studying farming, and has achieved good results."
Madam Jiang was granted the title of a seventh-rank lady by the Emperor himself, for her meritorious service in farming.
Madam Zheng was also aware of this matter.
Since she was determined to get married, she couldn't possibly not inquire about the Jiang family's situation.
However, since their affairs are all in the open, it's not difficult to find out about them.
However, Yuzhen and the others have known each other for a longer time, so they know more details.
"Yuzhen, don't worry, you know my family's situation clearly. Apart from the troubled marriage, Jinyu really has nothing else going on."
They all frequented the inner quarters, and everyone knew what the other cared about.
Madam Zheng spoke with absolute certainty that her Jinyu truly had nothing else to do.
"Wanyun, I know you wouldn't lie to me about our lifelong relationship."
Don't worry about the Jiang family's affairs, because they are far away and news travels slowly.
My father-in-law is a cautious person, and since he has agreed, he will handle it properly.
Even if it doesn't work out, I won't let anything bad get out of the house.
Madam Gu did not say it was over; she would have to wait for her father-in-law to inform her of this matter.
“We know that there’s no rush. Rushing makes mistakes. Our Jinyu deserves the best.”
Madam Zheng truly believed that her daughter deserved the best, learning from a young age to give her a solid foundation. However, a woman's reputation is so easily ruined.
“Aunt, if the Jiang family is interested, please arrange for me to meet Lord Jiang. We should be able to get along well.”
Zheng Jinyu thought that first impressions between people are also very important.
“Alright, if you are both interested, your aunt will make the arrangements.”
Madam Gu and Madam Zheng agreed to wait a while.
The headmaster quickly investigated and found out what had happened.
“Zhonglin, the daughter of the Zheng family, has nothing else to say about her except that she is rumored to be a jinx to her husbands.”
Moreover, she is a perfect match for Shao Ming.
The eldest daughter of the Zheng family was raised according to the standards of a prominent family's eldest daughter-in-law.
The capital is a dangerous place, and the Zheng family is smart enough not to do anything opportunistic.
"The Zheng family's daughter can help Shao Ming manage the inner courtyard."
The headmaster really thought it was good. Sometimes, you shouldn't underestimate women who stay at home. They can reveal a lot from a banquet or a gathering.
"Headmaster Xie, I have written to Shao Ming and also asked Madam Gu to arrange for the two children to meet. If they find each other agreeable, please accept this matchmaker's gift."
"Alright, both children are good children, it's their destiny to be together."
If it weren't for a series of accidents, Zheng's daughter would have been married long ago.
What the headmaster didn't say was that if it hadn't been delayed, the eldest daughter of the Zheng family would not have had the chance to be married by the Jiang family.
