Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 509 The Su brothers will be protected by the Wen family in the future

He thought the girl from the Cui family was okay, at least she was pleasing to the eye. Looking at her gentle and elegant temperament in her every move, she was a good candidate for a wife.

He didn't like the woman with a quick temper. Everyone in his family was gentle, so he was afraid that they wouldn't be able to get along. The Su family didn't approve of taking a concubine either. This was something they had agreed on when they talked about their future marriage.

Even if his wife doesn't give birth to children in the future, he won't take a concubine. At most he can adopt a child from his brother.

The Su family is not a wealthy family, they don't have that much property to divide, they don't want a mess at home. Mainly because Su He said at the time, look at which family has many wives and concubines and lives well, and see if they are all in chaos.

If the couple really have no fate and can't live together in the future, then they can write a divorce letter and both parties can get married separately. Anyway, the main point is that one cannot marry a wife or a concubine at the same time, which the Su family does not agree with.

Su Pei and Cui Lingling had no objection. The next step was to write a letter to their hometown and ask Su Pei's parents to come to Beijing. If possible, it would be best to help them arrange the marriage.

This way they wouldn't have to go back and forth. Su Feng wasn't in a hurry because his parents weren't leaving this time. When they were all arranged next year and Chengjia was assigned an official position by the Ministry of Personnel, they would go home directly.

By then, Su Feng's wife can also come to take charge of the household, and the old couple won't have to take care of it anymore.

After Su He waited for her uncle and aunt to come over, Su Pei was sure that she would go back to the border town. She was not afraid on the road, because most of the masters would go back with her, so only one or two would be left.

After the families finished their meal at Fu Man Lou, they knew from the expressions of both parties that the matter should be done. Finally, Mrs. Wen would basically confirm it after passing on a message.

Mrs. Cui was the woman and needed to be reserved, so they left first. Su He's father personally saw them downstairs and then returned to the private room.

Su He Niang had already asked Su Pei's opinion and told Madam Wen about their plan: "Madam Wen, let's go back and write a letter to Su Pei's parents, asking them to come here as soon as possible. After all, this is a lifelong event that requires Su Pei's parents to come and decide."

Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "That's understandable. The marriage of one's own son must be determined by the parents. I'll go and talk to the Cui family. If the children have no objection, we'll wait for Su Pei's parents to come over and ask the official matchmaker to come and propose marriage. Do you think this is okay?"

Su He Niang smiled and said, "My brother and sister-in-law are very easy-going people. If the children are willing, they will definitely not stop them. Just do as you say and do it when they come over."

Su Pei politely bowed to Madam Wen and said, "Thank you, Master's wife, for finding such a good marriage for me. I am very grateful."

Madam Wen raised her hand and said, "What are you talking about! Your master only has these few students. If I don't worry about you, who will? I wish you all happiness, so that you won't be burdened by the backyard and can concentrate on your official career."

Su He's father smiled and said, "Mrs. Wen is so kind. Thanks to your careful teaching, my children were able to pass the imperial examination. I hope you will give them more supervision in the future, and you should also discipline them. They are our own children, and I will leave them to you in the future."

Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "We are in-laws now, this is as it should be. Besides, a teacher is a father for life, we can't just ignore the children. Don't worry, as long as we have the ability, we will take care of them to the end."

Su He thought to himself, the wives of officials are different. Look how good they are at talking and doing things. My brothers will rely on the Wen Mansion in the future. I hope they can move higher and higher. I can only help them so far. The future depends on them to walk their own way.

It was not easy to be an official in ancient times. Without a master's help, you would be cheated as soon as you entered the officialdom. Otherwise, why did all those noble families gather here? They obviously did not make their fortunes here, but finally moved to the capital. It was because they wanted to pave the way for their children and then provide them with protection.
