Everyone present was their own family, and it would be easier to discuss things with more people present, so Mrs. Su expressed her idea of ​​having Su Jin marry Wang Er without any scruples.

Su Jin looked at Madam Su in shock. How could she be married to Wang Er in such a short while? Didn't Yun Guo just say she wanted to marry Wang Er?

She asked in disbelief, "Mom, are you serious?"

Madam Su: "Of course, Jin'er, you must trust your mother's judgment. Wang Erren is a good man, honest and kind. If you marry him, you will definitely be happy."

Su Jin was a little confused: "But, but Brother Wang doesn't necessarily want to marry me."

If she only recently discovered that Xu Feng had feelings for Su Qin, then she had known for a long time that Wang Er liked Su Qin, because when she was with Wang Er, Wang Er always mentioned his sister, and when he returned to Chanzhou after the Chinese New Year, he practiced martial arts desperately in order to make meritorious deeds as soon as possible so that he could protect his sister in the future.

She looked at Su Qin with a hidden look in her eyes, but did not say anything. After all, Su Qin and Zhao Liangchen were already engaged, and saying it now would not only be useless but would also add to her troubles.

Seeing Su Jin looking at her, Su Qin thought Su Jin was asking for her opinion, so she said seriously: "Marrying Wang Er is indeed a good choice. Don't look at Wang Er's poor background, but he is smart and studious. If you think he is unsophisticated and not presentable, you can train him and he will definitely be obedient.

He is a righteous and kind person. As long as he agrees to marry you, he will definitely treat you well for the rest of his life.

As for whether he is willing to marry you, why not just ask him first?"

Su Qin had no doubt at all that Wang Er was willing to marry Su Jin.

After all, Wang Er was an orphan from a village, or to put it bluntly, a peasant. For him to have the opportunity to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official was a great opportunity, and only a fool would refuse.

Su Jijing also nodded in agreement: "I think it's feasible. Wang Er is a reliable kid. We know him well, and we are relieved to let Jin'er marry him."

After saying this, he stood up and told the servants outside, "Come, go see if Captain Wang has returned."

Su Jin was anxious and wanted to stop him: "No, father, please don't..."

She was a little anxious. She asked in front of so many people. If she was rejected, it would be too embarrassing and she would have no point in living.

But before he could finish his words, Madam Su stopped him and said, "Don't worry, we are just asking."

Wang Er lived with them when he was in Chanzhou, and he wanted to live with them when he arrived in the capital. Originally, after he got the official position, Mrs. Su planned to buy him a small house, but Wang Er was unwilling, saying that he would be lonely living alone.

The servant went away and came back soon, but Wang Er had not returned yet. He was on duty in the palace and it was not time for his shift change yet.

Then everyone can only wait.

Seeing that everyone was silent again, Xu Yunguo asked anxiously, "What about me?"

Wang Er has been picked up by someone, what should she do?

Now everyone was at a loss, mainly because they knew too few people. It was too difficult to get to know everyone well in the capital and arrange a marriage in a short time.

Seeing that no one was talking, Xu Yunguo was about to cry: "I'm not really going to enter the palace, am I?"

Xu Chunshan was also very sad. He had just passed the exam and had no connections, so he could not help at all.

Sometimes he felt that he was extremely incompetent, as he couldn't pass the exam at his old age. If it weren't for Mr. Zeng's guidance and gift of books, and his son's help, he still wouldn't have passed.

Now he has finally passed the exam and got an official position, but he can't even protect his own daughter.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhao Liangchen finally spoke up: "What do you think of the Lusheng?"

Xu Chunshan didn't react for a moment: "Who?"

Zhao Liangchen: "The second son of the Wuning Marquisate, Qi Lusheng."

Xu Chunshan was startled and waved his hands quickly, "No, no, the Wuning Marquis's family is so prestigious, how could they be interested in a girl like Yunguo who came from the countryside without any manners?"

Zhao Liangchen said in a gentle tone: "The Wuning Marquis's family is of high status, but it is precisely because of its high status that it wants to marry a daughter-in-law of low status.

The Wuning Marquisate made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion this time and is a popular and prestigious family. If they marry a noble lady from a high-class family, it would be too high-profile and would make the emperor think that they are forming a clique, and thus be wary and suspicious of them.

They marry a woman from a lower family in a low-key manner to reduce the heat and make the emperor feel more at ease.

However, when a marquis's family chooses a bride from a lower social class, they cannot choose one who is too low, as that would be too cheap.

Lord Xu is just the right person. He holds a high official position, but he is a newcomer in the officialdom with no foundation and is not even a Beijing official. At least in the next ten years, the emperor does not have to worry about what the Marquis' Mansion and Lord Xu can do together.

The Wuning Marquis' Mansion has a simple staff. The Marquis and his wife are both kind people, and Lu Sheng is an even simpler and kinder person. Miss Xu will definitely not be wronged if she marries there.

There is just one thing: after Lord Xu and the Wuning Marquisate become relatives, your promotion will be very slow. The Emperor will deliberately suppress you in order to prevent the two families from becoming too powerful."

Xu Chunshan: "I'm not afraid of being suppressed, nor have I thought about getting promoted to a high position, but the question now is whether the Marquis' Mansion can look upon Yunguo. To put it bluntly, she is just an unruly village girl with plain looks and no intelligence. She is really not worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Marquis' Mansion."

Zhao Liangchen: "Master Xu, there is no need to belittle yourself. Miss Xu is not plain-looking. She is smart and lovely, and is no less beautiful than the girls in Beijing.

As for etiquette, you have taught Miss Xu very well. I have known her for so long and have never seen her act unruly. She is just more lively and straightforward than the noble ladies in the capital. This is not a shortcoming, but rather a good quality that those noble ladies do not have."

After he finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at Su Qin, fearing that Su Qin would be unhappy if he praised another girl.

Su Qin looked at him and thought he wanted her to continue, so she nodded and said, "Liang Chen is right. For a family like the Marquis's, marrying a prince's wife may require dignity and generosity, and be reasonable and measured in dealing with people. However, the wife of the second son does not need to bear any responsibilities, she only needs to be a happy person.

Yunguo is fully capable of doing this. Uncle Xu, please don't bring up Yunguo's appearance. Who can compare with the Marquis's appearance? With a mother-in-law as beautiful as the Marquis's, any beautiful woman will pale in comparison.

The marquis's family will definitely not choose appearance first when choosing a wife. They will definitely pay more attention to character and family background. Your family's character is fine and your family background is also clean.

If we propose a marriage proposal, the Marquis' Mansion will definitely consider it."

Xu Chunshan was a little confused after hearing this. Is that true? How could a family as high-ranking as the Marquis' Mansion be interested in a family like theirs, who were not even from a humble family?

Madam Xu was even more worried about her daughter being wronged. "Do they really think Yunguo is good? What if they just want to find someone from a lower social class to dispel the emperor's suspicions, but they don't really care about Yunguo? Then Yunguo, with her background, would be wronged if she married into that family?"

Su Qin: "Aunt, don't worry, the Marquis and his wife are both kind people. Even if they dislike this match, they will refuse it. They won't marry Yunguo just to seduce the emperor and let her suffer."

Mrs. Xu still couldn't feel at ease. She had met Qi Lusheng before. He was truly a handsome young man. His demeanor and conversation were different from theirs. How could he possibly be interested in a girl like Yunguo who grew up in the countryside?

Zhao Liangchen noticed the hesitation of the Xu family and stood up. "I'll go to the Marquis' Mansion and ask them now. If they agree, everyone will be happy. If they don't agree, we still have time to find someone else."
