Chapter 199 Sisters Dating
Thinking of this, the hesitation on Mrs. Zhang's face gradually faded away, and she was filled with smiles.
"Mrs. Shen, since you are the one who proposed the marriage, this marriage is naturally a great one. However, now that my son is back, we still have to ask his opinion before we can finalize it."
When Gu Meixiang heard what Old Madam Zhang said, she knew that the Zhang family should be safe, and her face showed joy.
Thinking of Shen Yuyao's determined look yesterday, as if she was arguing with her to marry the daughter of the Zhang family, as if she was as serious about it as she was about finding a marriage for herself, Gu Meixiang couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Seeing the expression on Madam Zhang's face at this moment, she thought to herself that she had finally completed the task assigned by her sister-in-law.
"It's the parents' order and the matchmaker's words, so it naturally needs the approval of Master Zhang." Gu Meixiang continued to say to Madam Zhang with a smile on her face: "If Master Zhang has no other opinions, I have to trouble you to give me a definite answer. My sister-in-law is waiting for my reply."
"Okay," Old Madam Zhang just said okay, and then as if she suddenly thought of something, she said, "I just don't know if it's my eldest granddaughter or my second granddaughter that Madam Shen likes?"
Gu Meixiang was stunned. She was busy accepting the task readily to help Shen Yuyao's eldest son Xia Linan to find a match.
However, even before she came, she knew that the Zhang family had two twin sisters. Gu Meixiang also thought that Shen Yuyao must have asked her to come to help look at each other, and as for who to talk about, she couldn't make a decision on her own.
"Madam Zhang, my sister-in-law said that if the Zhang family has no objection to this marriage, she would like to invite the two girls to their house for a gathering. She wants the two girls to take a look at her eldest son, and if either of them likes him, then the marriage will be confirmed."
Gu Meixiang paused for a moment and continued, "If both sisters don't like her eldest son, then the marriage will be cancelled. She said that this would be fairer to the two sisters of the Zhang family."
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, her smile widened.
The man's family made such arrangements, which naturally gave enough face to the woman's family.
At this point, Madam Zhang no longer hesitated at all and nodded quickly in agreement!
After seeing Gu Meixiang off, Old Madam Zhang first called her daughter-in-law over and told her about the matter.
Her daughter-in-law was a filial and obedient person. When she heard Mrs. Zhang constantly praising the advantages of the man's family, she had no objection.
Old Madam Zhang took her daughter-in-law to the two sisters' boudoirs in the backyard and looked for the two sisters.
As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Zhang saw that her eldest granddaughter had red eyes, and her younger granddaughter was comforting her.
Mrs. Zhang's heart skipped a beat. She quickly held Zhang Mingyu in her arms and asked with concern, "Mingyu, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that her grandmother and mother had arrived, Zhang Mingyu wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and slowly stood up. She greeted her grandmother and mother and then said, "Hello, grandmother and mother. Mingyu is fine."
Madam Zhang patted Zhang Mingyu's hand lovingly and said with a smile, "Little Mingyu, don't be nervous. Madam Shen was indeed entrusted by someone to come and matchmake for you and Mingbao."
The two sisters looked as if they had known this for a long time. Zhang Mingbao said, "Grandma, my sister and I want to stay with you and mother for two more years. We don't want to get married yet."
Upon hearing this, both Old Lady Zhang and Madam Zhang looked delighted. Old Lady Zhang took Zhang Mingbao's hand and motioned for the two sisters to sit down.
"Mingyu, Mingbao, do you know who asked Mrs. Shen to do this? And who is she proposing marriage for?" Old Madam Zhang asked with a smile.
"Who is it?" the two sisters asked in unison.
Madam Zhang smiled and asked, "Then do you know who is the only female scholar in the Great Xia Dynasty?"
"I know!" Zhang Mingyu and Zhang Mingbao, the two sisters, have heard a lot of rumors about Princess Ning. "Princess Ning!"
"It's a pity that she is no longer the princess." Zhang Mingyu felt a little regretful.
"So what if she's not the princess? I just like her chivalrous spirit." Zhang Mingbao retorted softly.
"Could it be? Are you talking about her home?" The two sisters suddenly reacted and asked in surprise.
"That's right, Madam Shen is here to propose marriage for her eldest son, Xia Linan!" Old Madam Zhang said bluntly.
When Zhang Mingbao heard this, he felt as if his heart was suddenly pulled, and that round and fat face appeared in front of him again.
His extraordinary talent and hidden talents all came out at this moment.
"Grandma, I want to marry!" Zhang Mingbao finally couldn't help it and shouted anxiously directly to Old Madam Zhang.
The other three people present were all frightened by Zhang Mingbao.
Didn’t she just say that she and her sister wanted to stay with their grandmother and mother for another two years?
Why as soon as I heard it was the eldest son of the Xia family, Xia Linan.
Are you just rushing to get married without caring about anything?
"Do you know that everyone in their family has been demoted to commoners?" Old Madam Zhang asked doubtfully.
She was worried that her second granddaughter might be so anxious because she mistakenly thought she was going to marry into the royal palace and become a princess.
"Of course I know!"
Zhang Mingbao said confidently: "However, even if he is a commoner now, I still believe that with his talent and martial arts, he will not be buried."
At this moment, Zhang Mingyu suddenly remembered that Zhang Mingbao once said that he already had someone he liked, who was the elder brother of the "young master" in the portrait.
Could it be that the big brother is Xia Linan?
Thinking of this, Zhang Mingyu was secretly happy for Zhang Mingbao, "In this case, Grandmother and Mother should quickly agree to this marriage."
Old Madam Zhang and Madam Zhang looked at each other, took out two invitations and said, "It's just that this female scholar said that for the sake of fairness, she wants to invite you two sisters to her house for a gathering. If either of you sisters likes the eldest son of the Xia family, she will marry him. If neither of you likes him, then let's forget about it."
"Then let my second sister go to his house and the matter will be settled, right?" Zhang Mingyu's hesitant look just now was completely gone now, replaced by a look of joy.
Old Madam Zhang saw it all and guessed it was almost right.
Zhang Mingyu must have someone she likes.
Just happened to avoid this marriage.
"The Xia family invited you two sisters. Since your grandmother has accepted the invitation, it is natural that you two sisters should go together." Mrs. Zhang, who seldom expressed her opinions, could not help but interrupt at this moment.
She is a person who pays great attention to etiquette and will never be rude to others because of this.
Besides, she is my future mother-in-law.
"Sister, can you please accompany me?" Zhang Mingbao also held Zhang Mingyu's hand and kept acting coquettishly.
"Okay, then I'll go with you to take a look." Zhang Mingyu couldn't persuade her, so he could only smile and agree.
"Grandma, what's the date on the invitation?"
"Three days later."
