Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

"What's going on?" Shen Lingzhu blinked, looking confused.

Huang Ruyue squeezed her hand and said, "Don't be so careless, you and Dazhuzi have always been inseparable.

She will be the first to tell you what she thinks.

Captain Chen borrowed the house and protected you and your daughter as they went to repay the money. I want to know what Dazhuzi thinks of him."

The eldest daughter was raised by her mother-in-law and has always been righteous.

The younger daughters have always been led and taught by the older daughters, especially in the past one or two years. They have participated in and even led the family business and cannot be treated as ordinary children.

"I think it would be better for you to ask my second sister in person." Shen Lingzhu said this, and no matter how Huang Ruyue asked, she remained silent.

"This little cotton-padded jacket of yours is to keep your second sister out of the wind." Huang Ruyue didn't ask any more questions. She returned to the kitchen somewhat absent-mindedly, causing her grandmother who was cooking to ask her what was wrong.

When Grandma Qi heard her talk about Chen Qianhu, she thought for a moment and said, "Little Bamboo is right. You should ask Big Bamboo.

Last year, many people came to your sister-in-law to ask about her marriage, but she didn't want to get married early, so everything ended up in nothing.

Later, there were rumors that Dazhuzi was proposing marriage to a military officer on horseback.

It's hard for us to find the source of these rumors, so your sister-in-law tried her best to prevent Da Zhuzi and Captain Chen from meeting."

Huang Ruyue was a little worried. Her child was too opinionated: "Mom, next year, Dazhuzi will be fourteen years old. We can't put off arranging a marriage for her any longer.

Fifteen or sixteen is the right age for a girl to marry; if she gets married later, she won’t be able to find a good man.”

She lowered her voice and said, "Captain Chen is much older than Da Zhuzi, and he's an official.

Our family knows very little about him, and we don't know if he's ever been married before, so it's best not to try to marry someone above our station."

Qi thought for a moment and said, “Many people who practice martial arts get married late. When I deliver the food, I will ask your father to check it out.

As for climbing above his station, he, a man in his twenties, is just climbing above his station.

We, Dazhuzi, may be small, but we act just as well as people in their twenties or thirties. Therefore, she usually looks at her brothers of the same age as if they were children.

"My sister-in-law said so too, alas!" Huang Ruyue had also observed that the eldest daughter looked at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with the same look as when she looked at Xia Wang.

"It's not her destiny yet. She's only thirteen." Qi quickly served the dishes and sent them to the dining room next door. She really called her husband out and gave him these instructions.

As the time was a little long, Shen Chi, who was inviting everyone to drink, came out and turned into the kitchen.

In the room opposite the west wing where the grandmother lived, Shen Lingzhu secretly opened the window and saw this scene.

"I want to watch too." The little cousin stood up from the kang and wanted to join in the fun.

Shen Miaozhu grabbed him and said, "Lock him up. How can you be so sneaky in your own home?"

"Second sister, mother doesn't allow us to serve the dishes because she is trying to avoid suspicion. She just asked you what you think of that person." Shen Lingzhu teased her cousin who could already speak, and she looked directly at her senior sister.

He asked, “Not only me, but everyone in the family feels that he came here just for you.

Second sister, will he ask for marriage from our parents?"

Shen Miaozhu peeled the cracked walnuts for her little cousin: "No."

"Ah? He..." Shen Lingzhu was very surprised. When she didn't know what to say, she heard her senior sister say, "The rules here are that the matchmaker is the one who speaks. It's not uncommon for the parties involved to speak to the elders themselves, but it's extremely rare.

Sometimes, an elder will tell the younger generation, "I have a daughter with both virtue and beauty."

But she didn't expect that after sending Chen Ru away, Mr. Chi came to her and asked, "My daughter, what do you think of Captain Chen?

Although he was the nephew of Huailai Hou, he inherited his position from his father and had real military achievements.

He has not yet married, nor has he any concubines, but he has houses, horses, farms, and shops."

"Very good." Shen Miaozhu sincerely praised the conditions.

Shen Chi nodded: "How about Dad ask a matchmaker to come and propose marriage?"

"Puff, cough cough cough..." Shen Lingzhu, who had followed him to the corner, choked on his own saliva, instantly attracting the attention of Master Chi. He asked, "Why are you here?"

"She's been following you." Shen Miaozhu poured a glass of water for her junior sister and told her to drink it. Then she said to Master Chi, "Let's go after the New Year."

"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the quota will definitely be after the New Year." Mr. Chi patted Shen Lingzhu on the back:

"It's easy to be surprised by something you haven't seen before. If you don't take the initiative to seize the opportunity when there are outstanding talents right in front of you, it would be a pity to miss them." Mr. Chi is not a person who sticks to formalities.

So after the store opened on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year to welcome the God of Wealth, he immediately went to the official media's home after closing the store in the afternoon.

Knowing that Mr. Chi had indeed started to move, Shen Lingzhu could clearly see his mother's veins bulging, "Little Zhuzi, do you know where he went?

This is the capital, if we really go to propose marriage, who knows how others will frame Miao Zhu in the future."

"Mom, people in the capital are very open-minded. Many girls ask matchmakers to help them find a partner first." Shen Lingzhu was not idle during the New Year. She learned a lot from Grandma Lu.

Huang Ruyue insisted: "That won't work either. Chen isn't even responsible for being a matchmaker, so how can I trust Miaozhu?

If you don't tell me, I'll ask your grandfather to accompany me to ask every family."

"What do you want to ask?" Grandpa and grandma mixed a bowl of noodles and came out of the kitchen. "Oh, by the way, just leave the Lu family's grandson and the two Shen family members to look after the shop. Xiao Zhuzi, come with me to pick up your second sister and bring her back to live with us."

Shen Lingzhu had just nodded in agreement when she was interrupted by her mother.

"Dad, don't go look for Miaozhu yet. I have something important to do here. Please help me." Huang Ruyue was afraid that the matchmaker would go to Captain Chen's mansion later.

But just as she finished speaking, someone knocked on the door in the yard and Shen Lingzhu quickly went to open it.

Of course, she didn't open it immediately, but asked who it was first. When she heard that the other party was the official matchmaker from Shuntian, she thought that the matchmaker had already gone to Chen's house to propose marriage.

When Mr. Chi was not found, he came to tell his family the result.

However, after opening the door, she was completely wrong. Standing in the courtyard was a plump, white woman with a red flower in her hair and a smiling face. "Greetings, young lady. I wonder if the master and mistress of the Shen family are home?"

"Yes, please come in." As soon as Shen Lingzhu invited the person into the house and introduced him, the matchmaker immediately congratulated Huang Ruyue, saying that she was asked by Captain Chen Ru to come and propose marriage between him and Miss Shen.

The whole family was stunned for a moment. After the matchmaker said it again, Huang Ruyue reacted and asked her to wait for a moment, leaving her grandmother Qi to receive them in the house.

Then he called Shen Lingzhu and Grandpa out and told them to find someone quickly, "Don't let the people he invited go to the Chen Mansion, otherwise it would be a joke."

"Shouldn't it be Jiahua?" Seeing her anxious face, Shen Lingzhu didn't dare to ask, but told her grandfather the address.

Fortunately, when Mr. Chi was screening official media, he consulted her for reference, and she knew who to choose.

So the father and son rode a horse and quickly found the official media's house, where Mr. Chi was just discussing something with him.

Grandpa said, "Your father really acted too quickly.

Your mother said she would think about it, but he couldn't wait."
