Jiang Shuyun wrote the letter, and Mu Yi'an dictated it; together, they completed a letter.
The envelope was quite long, and many sheets of paper were used; it was heavy, not only because of the thickness of the paper, but also because of the parents' love.
Jiang Shuyun also needed to reply to the headmaster.
"Headmaster, regarding the Zheng family's affairs, if the woman is truly that outstanding, and there are no other hidden reasons besides her being a jinx to her husband, my husband and I have no objections."
As you know, this place is far from the capital, and we really don't have the ability to find out anything.
It's better not to bother two people with the same matter. Otherwise, could you ask the headmaster for help and inquire about it?
You know, things that happen in the inner quarters can sometimes be quite dangerous.
Shao Ming is the eldest son; if he recovers, his younger siblings will not be affected.
As for Gu Zheng's thoughts, don't rush things. We're not in a hurry to find him a partner; the child is still young, and we want to stay a few more years."
Jiang Shuyun went straight for the point, setting her sights on the headmaster.
He knew that even if his family inquired, they wouldn't find out anything.
Those grand mansions and mansions, if they want to hide something, are not places that ordinary people like them can find out.
But the headmaster is different; he has his own channels and connections in the capital.
So, Jiang Shuyun shamelessly entrusted the matter to the headmaster.
"Zhonglin, you've become cunning."
"Headmaster, being a parent is really not easy."
Jiang Shuyun thought to himself that he himself could be indifferent to many things and live a carefree life.
However, when it comes to children, you have to be a little more careful.
Okay, I understand.
"Since I've spoken up, I won't stand idly by. Shao Ming is also a promising young man; he deserves a good, supportive wife."
"Thank you, Headmaster!"
Jiang Shuyun put away her joke and gave a solemn bow.
The rest is up to us to wait.
Not only did Jiang Shuyun send letters to the capital, but the headmaster also went, and sent more than one letter.
When Jiang Shaoming received the letter from home, his eyes welled up with tears. His parents missed him; the letter was so thick.
He returned to his room and took off his official robes.
I didn't even have time to eat; I went to the study to read the letter first.
"My son, I am pleased to receive your letter."
Everything is fine at home. My parents and siblings are all well, so don't worry.
The purpose of writing this letter is singular: you need to think about this carefully…
Shao Ming read it all in one go and understood what his parents were talking about.
He had also heard of the eldest daughter of the Zheng family, the Imperial Academy Chancellor.
She also knew about the rumors about her being a "husband-killer," having lost three fiancés in a row, which sounded quite chilling.
However, having read too many frivolous books and studied with Mr. Liang for so many years, Shao Ming didn't believe in any of these so-called "husband-killing" theories.
His parents never talked about ghosts or gods. Apart from choosing an auspicious day, his family never made any offerings or had the habit of praying to gods or Buddhas for help.
By the time Shao Ming was eighteen, he hadn't really put much thought into matters of love and sex.
There were no alluring maids in the house, and he never had the chance to experience the pleasures of having beautiful women by his side.
Mainly, he felt envious and longed for the kind of loving relationship his parents had maintained.
His mother once said that a woman's heart is both vast and small. Vast enough to hold everything both at home and outside, small enough to hold only true feelings.
He overheard his parents talking about this by chance. He didn't quite understand it at the time, and he still doesn't fully understand it now.
As for the Zheng family's daughter, he didn't believe in the idea of her bringing misfortune to her husband, but he still wanted to meet her, even if they didn't say anything, just to have an impression of each other.
Because of his parents' letters, Shao Ming paid extra attention to news about the Zheng family.
Even in the Hanlin Academy, he would hear gossip; when men gathered together, they talked just as much as the women.
The Gu family, including Madam Gu, also received the letter.
The headmaster stated the Jiang family's attitude very frankly: they didn't believe in the "husband-killing" theory. However, they did believe that the girl's character was truly good.
As for Gu Zheng's matter, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it's pretty much over.
The headmaster understood how much Zhonglin and his wife valued their daughter. They wanted to observe the two children's reactions when Xiaoqi arrived.
Madam Gu also learned about the Jiang family couple's character and conduct from Xiao Qi. They were parents who truly loved their children and did not value external benefits.
Moreover, the family has a good tradition, the husband and wife are of one mind, and there are no messy things in the house.
Madam Gu was young once too, and she longed for a lifelong, monogamous relationship.
But fantasy is just fantasy; it can't become reality. All she can do is maintain her position as the head of the household and protect the interests of her own children.
Madam Gu had arranged to meet with Madam Zheng to discuss some matters in person.
"Yun Wan, come and sit down, Jin Yu is here too."
Madam Gu invited the Zheng family mother and daughter to sit down and dismissed the servants.
"Hello Auntie, thank you for your trouble."
Zheng Jinyu curtsied, her gratitude evident in her words.
“Yuzhen, Jinyu has been through a lot, and I was thinking that this time, I wouldn’t hide it from her and would let her hear it too.”
Madam Zheng had three sons and only one daughter, so she never expected her marriage to be so difficult.
“Alright, Jin Yu is determined, there are some things we don’t need to hide from her.”
Looking at the graceful young woman, Madam Gu thought to herself, "Fate is truly playing tricks on us."
"The Jiang family doesn't believe in the so-called 'husband-killing' theory. I also inquired about this indirectly from Xiao Qi."
The Jiang family doesn't like to pray to gods or Buddhas; they are people who live their lives earnestly.
The young master of the Jiang family has become the top scholar in the imperial examination and has been appointed to an official position. He is now alone in the capital, and his parents will not be coming.
The Jiang family required their eldest daughter-in-law to be able to support the household, and for the couple to work together and share both successes and failures.
