The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

Wang hoped her son could go to the capital with her, so that he could see the sights. "Let Da Bao go with us. We'll discuss it with the Liu family and then decide. It's not like Da Bao won't come back."

Du Mingxian agreed, "I think my sister-in-law is right."

"It's settled then. Dalang, go to the county tomorrow and find a matchmaker to see what wealthy families need for a marriage proposal. Once we've prepared everything, Silang will accompany you and take Dabao to propose marriage," said Father Ling.

Ling Dalang was a little nervous and excited. "Okay, Father, I'll go and inquire about it tomorrow."

"Brother, you don't need to go. After I go to the county tomorrow, I'll take some time to visit the most famous matchmaker in the county, Wang. All the wealthy families in the county like to hire her for matchmaking. I'll ask her then, and she'll definitely know. I'll tell you what I need when I get back tomorrow, and then you can make the preparations."

“Okay.” Ling Dalang had no objection. Anyway, his second brother was in the county every day, so it was convenient to ask him. He also had things to do in his workshop, so he really didn’t have that much time to go to the county.

Ling's father spoke up, "Da Bao's engagement to Miss Liu is a big deal. We'll go to the capital after it's settled." He was also speaking to Ling Silang.

Ling Silang had no objection. Going to the capital early or late made no difference to him. He was worried that his children and parents would suffer on the way, as the weather would get cold soon.

"They're all Dad's."

The family dispersed after discussing the matter.

Du Mingxian returned to her room and hugged An'an, quite moved. "I never expected that Miss Liu would choose Da Bao."

“Da Bao looks honest and simple, but he is actually very methodical and reliable. The county magistrate’s wife has a very sharp eye.”

Thinking about the shady dealings in the backyards of wealthy families, and considering the character of the county magistrate, Du Mingxian was quite in agreement.

"The county magistrate's wife is a good person, she thinks of her daughter wholeheartedly. Her elder brother and sister-in-law are also good people. Miss Liu will be very fortunate in the future."

"I hope the children are all well." Ling Silang said, glancing at An'an who was already asleep in his arms, and murmured, "When will you grow up, be able to be independent, and stop taking over your mother?"

Du Mingxian rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "You've really made something of yourself, treating your own son like this."

Ling Silang shrugged. "What's wrong with wanting to be alone with my wife?"

Du Mingxian was speechless. She gently placed An'an on the bed, covered him with the blanket, and prepared to go to sleep herself. "He's still too young. Please show him more fatherly love."

Ling Silang chuckled, "This kid is quite clever now. He doesn't want me to hold him when he sees you, but he clings to me when he can't see you. If neither of us is around, he clings to my sister-in-law and mother."

"This is a subconscious choice to select the person closest to you; it's a smart move."

Ling Silang clung to him, saying, "Let's go to the space. I've been thinking about it."

Du Mingxian was worried about leaving An'an outside alone. "No, we can't go to the space now. An'an will wake up from the heat again soon. He'll be uncomfortable going from hot to cold."

As An'an grew older, Du Mingxian rarely brought her into the space. Now that the weather is gradually getting cooler, An'an is dressed more warmly, and the space is kept at a constant temperature.

She was worried that the child would get sick from the sudden changes in temperature when going in and out, so she mostly kept him outside to let him get used to the environment.

Ling Silang was not satisfied with being here. When An'an was little, he could bring her into the space, but now his wife was unwilling to bring her into the space. He had to watch over her personally at night, and he hadn't eaten meat in a long time.

"daughter in law."

Du Mingxian was at a loss with him. "You... you don't have anything to do during the day tomorrow, so you should get some rest tonight."

This was a sign that he had finally agreed. Ling Silang dared not push his luck any further, fearing that his wife might change her mind. He immediately agreed, "Okay, okay, I'll go to sleep now and conserve my energy."

Du Mingxian: "..."

The matter concerning Da Bao was settled quite quickly. After Ling Erlang inquired about it the next day, the Ling family made preparations on the third day and sent a letter to the Liu family that same day.

On the fourth day, the Ling family came to visit. Ling Dalang, Ling Silang, and Ling Dabao were the three of them.

Lord Liu had previously considered sending his daughter to the prefect as a concubine, but it was just an idea. He knew his wife's temper, and if he really sent his wife's only daughter to be a concubine, he might never have a peaceful life.

So he pondered whether there was a better match that could help him, allow his daughter to marry well, and satisfy his wife.

Before the marriage could even take place, the incident involving Aunt Wang occurred, and the important matter of his daughter's marriage fell into the hands of his wife. He was quite dissatisfied and worried that Gao Min might actually find his daughter a peasant, which would cause trouble.

So when the three members of the Ling family came to propose marriage, Lord Liu was completely stunned; he had never even considered the Ling family.

Firstly, the eldest branch of the Ling family were commoners, and secondly... although Ling Juren was powerful, he was still just an uncle, and Ling Juren's son was still a baby.

Unexpectedly, the lady had her eye on the child from the eldest branch of the Ling family.

Thinking about it that way, it doesn't seem so bad. Look, when they were proposing marriage, my uncle came.

Then look at the son-in-law that the lady has chosen. He looks good too, but I don't know how well he studies.

Lord Liu's thoughts had already gone through several twists and turns, but he did not forget to send someone to invite Gao Min out. Gao Min had received the news yesterday and was already prepared and waiting today.

Hearing a noise in the front yard, she came over immediately, very quickly.

The couple hadn't discussed it beforehand. When Lord Liu saw Gao Min come in, he instinctively asked, "The Ling family came to propose marriage, you... knew about this?"

He didn't say what came next, but asked with his eyes.

Gao Min nodded slightly and then greeted the Ling family.

Gao Min agreed to the arrangement, as did the Ling family. Even Lord Liu, who had little power, was satisfied with the Ling family. Although this son-in-law might not be of much help to him, he had a good uncle who had connections in the capital.

This uncle is about to go on a scientific expedition; he'll have a bright future ahead of him.

The difference between the son-in-law's uncle and his father isn't that great, so he could be of some help to him.

Lord Liu was very happy and became even more enthusiastic towards the Ling family.

Both families were happy, and the matter was settled. Today, the Ling family came to propose marriage, bringing a pair of wild geese and a fine jade pendant provided by Du Mingxian.

After the engagement was completed, the Ling family left happily, and also gave the matchmaker who had come with them a large red envelope.

The matchmaker was overjoyed to receive the red envelope. When the Ling family first inquired about her, she only gave a few brief answers. Unexpectedly, they notified her yesterday that she would come to propose marriage today.

When they asked about the marriage proposal, it turned out the woman was the daughter of the county magistrate.

She had a feeling that things were bound to fail and that she might even offend the county magistrate. But since she had already accepted the money, she couldn't refuse to go. So she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go. Unexpectedly, the two sides had already discussed it, and things were settled just like that.

Free money!

Having received the benefits, the matchmaker repeatedly assured them, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep the rest in mind."

The three letters and six rites are indispensable, and there are many other situations where a matchmaker is needed.
