Chapter 470 The Official's Daughter
Madam Ma forced a smile: "Madam, are you joking?"

How could she possibly dream of having an official's daughter as her daughter-in-law!
My sister-in-law's family mentioned one, because she wanted to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest son's family. It would be good to have a higher status so that she could keep her younger brothers and sisters in check.

She was happy to see it.

But what about our own family?

Her husband was a scholar, and she was very proud of him when they were in the village. There were only two scholars in their Hu family village: Old Master Hu and her husband.

Is this person not of high status?
When they arrived in the prefectural city, even the gatekeeper at the academy was a top-ranking student.

The husband, however, was born with a drooping tail, which almost turned into hyperplasia.

Students with the title of "Bing Sheng" could act as guarantors for other students, giving them the opportunity to participate in the preliminary examinations, but students with the title of "Zeng Sheng" could not.

The lowest rank of the Imperial Academy students didn't even have the opportunity to participate in the imperial examinations.

Ma found out about these things on her own over time. Over the course of several months, the couple suffered a lot of losses, but she also gained a lot of knowledge.

"What are you saying, sister? How could I joke with you?" the prefect's wife comforted her.

The prefect's wife wasn't just making things up. Even if her husband hadn't told her the family's background, she still felt obligated to repay the debt of gratitude that the woman's mother-in-law had saved her life.

The fact that a child offered himself to a man after being saved is still considered a beautiful story at this time.

Madam Ma dared not agree: "Madam, my two children grew up in the village. They are not very knowledgeable and are quite mischievous."

Who is worthy of a daughter of an official family?
The prefect's wife smiled and didn't continue speaking. Instead, she said to the maid beside her, "Go and call the eldest and second young ladies here."

The maid agreed and went to the backyard to call the two girls over.

Prefect Wei and his wife had two sons and two daughters, both of whom were born in their twenties.

Now, the eldest daughter is 16 years old and the youngest daughter is 12 years old.

The eldest daughter was of marriageable age and was being sought after by matchmakers, while a matchmaker had also come to sound out the younger daughter's intentions. When the two daughters of Prefect Wei, named Wei Qianying and Wei Xianyin, walked hand in hand, Madam Ma's eyes lit up.

The two girls were extremely beautiful. The older one had already grown up, with rosy lips and a fair complexion, graceful and elegant, with a light and graceful gait.

Every gesture she makes exudes gentle grace and poise.

Although she was still a young girl, it was clear that she would be extraordinary in the future. She wore a pale yellow embroidered dress that trailed to her ankles, with a light green tassel adorning her waist. Her face was full of undisguised charm and innocence.

Upon approaching, the two men bowed to the prefect's wife, saying, "Mother, are you well?"

After the prefect's wife introduced Madam Ma to them, they bowed to her and said, "Aunt Madam Ma, how are you?"

Madam Ma couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "She truly is a daughter of an official; her words and actions are all about enjoying life!"

But for some reason, she preferred the eldest daughter of the Qu family to the two daughters of officials.

Erlang once wrote to them, mentioning that his future sister-in-law, Qu Shuqiu, was engaged to his family. He said that she was polite, cheerful, and easy to get along with.

These few words, however brief, were enough to win over Ma's heart.

They came from farming families, so of course they didn't want to marry a patriarch to worship.

"What do you think of my two daughters, sister?" the prefect's wife asked.

Madam Ma came to her senses and nodded repeatedly: "Both young ladies are very good. They are beautiful, have good manners, and speak very well. They are both very good."

"Then, sister, which of my two daughters do you think is more suitable to be your daughter-in-law?" the prefect's wife asked warmly.

This stumped Mr. Ma.

They're all good, but they're not suitable for my child!

The registrar's daughter was scary enough, but now there's the prefect's daughter too!
