After listening to his wife's words, Yang Tongfu's expression calmed down.
"When I left the palace, King Rui came to talk to me..."
At that moment, he told his wife about King Rui's desire to get married.
"Your dealings with Prince Rui are between you two. I don't agree to use my son's marriage as the cornerstone of a strong relationship between the two families."
"You are overthinking. I don't want my son to be the foundation. I just think King Rui's daughter is better..."
Yang Tongfu said, "The one you are interested in is Chuxue. I didn't object to you at the beginning because our son had no choice at that time."
"But it's different now. Everyone in the capital knows that my son is an expert in solving cases. He should have a better choice, right?"
"I do think that the best may not be the most suitable for my son..." Jiang insisted on his opinion.
However, there is nothing wrong with what the husband said. Parents want the best for their sons.
Before the discussion with my husband came to a conclusion, the front office came to report that many adults were visiting.
As a last resort, Yang Tongfu could only go out to meet the guests first.
Because Yang Ming entered Dali Temple, everyone came to congratulate Yang Tongfu one after another.
Those young men who made fun of Yang Ming in the past were also strongly condemned by their families and even came to apologize.
For a time, all the disdain for Yang Ming has now turned into admiration.
Of course, it has long been an open secret that the sons of each family bullied Yang Ming. Everyone knows why everyone came to apologize at this time.
After sending those people away, Yang Tongfu felt helpless.
There are many interests involved in the officialdom, so naturally he will not fall out with them because of the humiliation his son suffered.
To his surprise, when those people confessed in front of him, he realized that his son had been wronged much more than he imagined.
When he felt distressed, he decided that the marriage must be the best for his son.
Because their son's marriage was not settled, the whole family was happy, but Yang Tongfu and his wife were at odds for several days.
Unexpectedly, when Jiang was in trouble, Xiaoshun came to him.
"Madam, do you and the master have any differences about the young master's marriage?"
"You kid, how dare you try to figure out Madam's thoughts?" The old woman beside Jiang's face darkened.
Xiao Shun hurriedly explained, "Madam, I'm not meddling in other people's affairs, nor did I do it on purpose. It's just that the matter involves the master's happiness. I've been with him for so long, and I hope he will always be happy."
Jiang said, "I believe you, then tell me, what are your ideas?"
Xiaoshun said, "Madam, why don't you let the young master choose by himself?"
"Your young master never speaks more than two words. Do you really think he can make it clear to me?" Jiang didn't believe it.
"Madam, since the young master can't explain clearly, he must be able to understand."
Xiaoshun said, "By the way, I would like to ask you to see where the young master's heart is."
Jiang's eyes lit up, "Don't say it, what you said is a solution."
So, she went to propose to her husband.
"Instead of us arguing here, why don't we hold two family banquets separately and let the women from the two families come over separately to see how our sons react?"
"Although it is difficult for my son to speak clearly, his actions and behavior can definitely explain something!"
"That's fine!" Yang Tongfu also nodded with satisfaction.
So the Yang family held two warm family dinners.
One time was to invite the Song family, and the other time was to invite the Chu family.
King Rui came with his daughter. The little princess was well behaved and Yang Tongfu was very satisfied with her performance at the banquet.
But during the dinner, the little princess tried to talk to Yang Ming, but Yang Ming ignored her as usual.
Moreover, the little princess had no interest in the dull Yang Ming, so she reluctantly finished the meal before dragging her father away.
On the way away, she kept complaining that her father wanted to marry her to such a weirdo.
The next day, Jiang invited the Chu family to a banquet.
At the banquet, although Chu Xue's stepmother and her children were petty, and Chu Wenyuan was a little timid, Chu Xue behaved generously and was unfazed by favors and humiliations.
In particular, Yang Ming did not neglect Chu Xue at all.
Chuxue took a second look at a certain dish, and the dish soon arrived in front of Chuxue.
Chuxue put down her chopsticks and immediately refilled her cup of tea.
Seeing this scene, Yang Tongfu finally understood why his wife insisted on marrying Chuxue for her son.
At night, he said to his lamented wife, "This is the first time I've noticed that Ming'er is so careful."
"Master, our Ming'er has always been very careful, otherwise he wouldn't have been arranged by Xiao Hou to go to Dali Temple to investigate the case. He's not very good at talking, but he's not bad at doing things."
"You're right. Sure enough, Chuxue is approved by Ming'er. Think about it..."
He sighed, "We have never been treated like this by Ming'er!"
"Master, if he can do this to Chuxue, will he be far away from us?"
Lin said, "I believe Chuxue is a person who can lead Ming'er to become a better person."
Yang Tongfu nodded expectantly.
The next day, Yang Tongfu called Xiao Shun in front of him again and asked him carefully about the acquaintance between Chu Xue and his son.
Xiao Shun said, "Sir, on that day at Baiyun Mountain, the other young masters all despised the young master and abandoned him. Only Miss Chu said that the young master was a person of the most affectionate nature..."
"A few days ago, those young masters made fun of him, and it was Miss Chu who came to rescue him out of anger..."
After listening to Xiao Shun's words, Yang Tongfu finally agreed with his wife.
"Madam, my husband's vision is not as good as yours."
Mrs. Lin said, "Sir, sir, you are busy with government affairs every day and rarely say hello to the back house of the aristocratic family. How can you understand the thoughts of these daughters' families?"
At that moment, he called his dumb son forward.
"Tomorrow, many families are coming to propose marriage to us. There are many outstanding daughters, so why not..."
"First snow." Yang Mingyi said briefly and comprehensively.
"Well……"
Yang Tongfu said, "Why don't we go and see the girls from other families? Maybe if you meet a few more girls, then..."
Unexpectedly, Yang Ming still said, "First snow."
After trying it several times, Yang Ming still said these two words.
Yang Tongfu smiled, "That's all, let your mother prepare for your marriage!"
"Our son has a promising future and is going to work in Dali Temple. As the saying goes, start a family first and then start a career. Our son will grow up tomorrow!"
After the red post about the wedding was sent to Chu's home, Chuxue was very excited.
Yang Ming's preference was obvious to everyone at the banquet.
It is thought that Yang Ming insisted on this marriage.
A big stone fell to her heart!
At the same time, she was very grateful to Princess Nianyun.
All of this is due to her being the matchmaker.
I never imagined that a good deed I did three years ago would lead to what I am today...
For the first time, her heart was filled with joy.
Knowing that Chuxue passed Yang Shangshu's test, Su Nianyun was happy for Chuxue.
Finally, her hard work was not in vain, and her advice to Xiaoshun was not in vain.
