Chapter 597 - 593: Proposing Marriage to Mu Family’s Little Aunt (Three More Releases)

Mu Dade stayed in the county for half a month, and the remaining two documents had already been sent to the Old Mu Family.And his job as an official gradually had some progress.

Mu Dade wrote a letter to the Old Mu Family about the possibility of his official duties, explaining the matter in the letter.

When the letter from the county arrived, the entire Old Mu Family was buzzing with excitement, each of them thinking that Mu Dade was going to be an official, and they would enter the city. Even their posture was straighter than before.

More importantly, the previously unnoticed daughters of the Old Mu Family had suitors lining up at their door.

Matchmaker Sun wiggled her hips, her handkerchief flying in her hand.

On this day, Matchmaker Sun went to propose marriage for the youngest aunt of the Old Mu Family. Now that Mu Dade had become a scholar, the future was full of possibilities, and Mu Xiangxiang’s status had greatly increased.

Old Mu Family

Matchmaker Sun talked about this matter with Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu.

Old Mrs. Mu had long intended to arrange a marriage for Mu Xiangxiang, and so did Mr. Mu.

"We definitely have no objection to proposing to someone; our Xiangxiang is indeed at the age for marriage. It’s just that who do you have in mind?"

Old Mrs. Mu didn’t want Mu Xiangxiang to marry too far away.

Mu Xiangxiang had never done any chores since childhood, and she wouldn’t wash clothes or cook. Old Mrs. Mu wouldn’t feel at ease if she wasn’t under her watch.

Besides, her Xiangxiang was thin. If she didn’t nourish her body, it would hurt her as a mother.

"I do have quite a few people proposing!"

Mu Dade becoming a scholar was a sensation across villages, and many wanted to follow his family for better days.

"Then tell us!" said Old Mrs. Mu.

"There’s a Zhang family in Dahuo Village, with twenty acres of land. Their son is twenty this year, quite a match for Xiangxiang!"

"There’s a Zhao family in Tie Dao Village, raising ten old sows. If Xiangxiang marries their son, she’d never worry about having meat!"

Dahuo Village was where Mu Zhenzhen married, and Old Mrs. Mu would never let her daughter go there. She refused outright.

"Not Dahuo Village! A pig butcher from Tie Dao Village doesn’t match our Xiangxiang. Our Xiangxiang is the sister of a scholar; she deserves someone educated, not a pig butcher!"

Old Mrs. Mu said sternly.

Frankly speaking, Matchmaker Sun wasn’t very willing to match for Mu Xiangxiang.

She had eaten at the table with Mu Xiangxiang, and a large bowl, Mu Xiangxiang would eat four or five bowls alone.

Which farm family could afford to keep such an eating wife, who wouldn’t grow tall, only would be a spendthrift!

But she couldn’t withdraw; if Mu Xiangxiang’s match was made by someone else, as the primary matchmaker, she’d lose face.

Mr. Mu puffed on his pipe with a nod, giving a silent approval similar to Old Mrs. Mu.

Mu Xiangxiang’s marriage was the first among these girls, she must marry well, or the subsequent granddaughters would not marry well!

"Then there’s our village, the Shen family at the village entrance has five acres of land and a scholar brother-in-law. If Xiangxiang marries there, and the Shen family gets a scholar-in-law, Xiangxiang will be prosperous on both sides!" Matchmaker Sun continued.

Who knew that Old Mrs. Mu jumped up and countered: "That’s not okay, the Shen family is so poor, isn’t my daughter marrying to suffer? Matchmaker Sun, are you sincerely matching for my daughter or not, why no good quality?"

Matchmaker Sun’s mouth went askew.

There really were quite a few wanting prime meat, given Mu Xiangxiang’s condition, did she want to marry into the palace as an Imperial Concubine?

Matchmaker Sun politely asked, "So what conditions does the old sister want, I, Matchmaker Sun, will ask, will find!"

Old Mrs. Mu’s expression eased somewhat.

"I don’t have many conditions, my eldest is a scholar, and now he’s about to become an official. Later, our family will be soaring, others following Old Mu Family is a chance to enjoy prosperity!"

"To marry our Xiangxiang, the husband must be tall and have a better physique than the eldest of the Lu Family!"

"To marry our Xiangxiang, he must be wealthy. My Xiangxiang deserves to be a lady, never touching spring water, the family must have at least twenty acres... No, at least fifty acres of land so Xiangxiang never worries for food and clothes!"

"Of course, it’s best to find someone close by, we’re moving to the county, you must find someone from the county for Xiangxiang too!"

Old Mrs. Mu listed so many conditions in one go, Matchmaker Sun was stunned!

Not even a Champion Scholar’s sister would dare ask such demands.

In her heart, Matchmaker Sun despised the Old Mu Family, always feeling Old Mu Family put on airs, boasting!

"Old sister, your conditions seem too high, Xiangxiang is only a scholar’s sister, not the scholar herself. With these conditions, others could marry a landlord’s daughter!"

Matchmaker Sun spoke earnestly, wanting Old Mrs. Mu to know her worth and stop daydreaming.

Who knew, Old Mrs. Mu jumped up directly, cursing Matchmaker Sun.

"You wretched old woman, when you match for others, you find the best, but for our Xiangxiang, finding bad ones, you heartless old woman, Xiangxiang’s match doesn’t need you!"

Saying this, Old Mrs. Mu grabbed the stool off the ground and threw it at Matchmaker Sun, nearly hitting her.

Matchmaker Sun didn’t care anymore. Whoever wanted this business could have it. She yelled loudly.

"You wretched old woman, it’s just your son being a scholar, what are you showing off? You haven’t become an official’s wife yet, be careful the chicken flies, the egg breaks, and you have nothing! Then you’ll still be a mud leg, deserving a life of being trampled!"

Matchmaker Sun had never been so angry, once she started cursing, she wouldn’t stop.

Old Mrs. Mu was fuming, absolutely couldn’t let anyone talk about her being an official’s wife.

"Granny Sun, I’ll tear your mouth today!"

Saying this, Old Mrs. Mu charged at her, tangling up with Matchmaker Sun.

Mr. Mu realized the seriousness only now, stepping in to mediate.

"What are you arguing for, isn’t today about proposing for Xiangxiang?" Mr. Mu said.

"Propose what! Your daughter is made of gold and wants a county husband-in-law. I, Matchmaker Sun, will say it straight. With your daughter’s appetite, eating more than pigs, only if he doesn’t have his mind clamped by a door, whoever marries your daughter is doomed for eight generations!"

"You dare talk about Xiangxiang, I’ll fight you!" Old Mrs. Mu held Matchmaker Sun’s shoulder and slammed her head on Matchmaker Sun’s forehead.

With a dull "thud," all that remained in Matchmaker Sun’s head was a buzzing sound, Old Mrs. Mu took the chance to slap Matchmaker Sun hard.

Matchmaker Sun cried out in pain.

"Murder! Mu Dade’s family is murdering..."
