The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law Chapter 1522 - 1525: Professional Matchmaker for Daughters i

"From what I see, this Miss is more beautiful than the previous two, and she’s the legitimate eldest daughter. Though the rank of the Vice Minister of Punishnts is sowhat low, what do you think?"

Gu Youyou softly said while holding the portrait, "A daughter from the Vice Minister of Punishnts marrying into the household of a Great Scholar could be considered marrying up. However, you ntioned she is the legitimate eldest daughter, and her parents are quite particular. Might they look down upon Shenxing for being of concubine descent?"

Miss Du said, "That won’t be the case. Shenxing is set to inherit the family estate. Comparing to a legitimate eldest son, he is not inferior. These young ladies are suitable matches for Young Master Lin. But, alas, the Ducal Residence has had such troubles, and Madam Lin remains the matriarchal grandmother. I’m afraid people may be concerned about Madam Lin’s background."

This is what affluent families are like; they cannot tolerate even a speck of blemish.

The troubles at the Zhang Family, with the eldest Miss Zhang and Madam tarnishing the family reputation, led Pri Minister Zhang to sche against Jin Zijin with Miss Zhang.

anwhile, the Lin Family struggles since Madam Lin is from a traitorous family, troubling their children’s prospects for marriage.

Luckily, these children are not her biological offspring. Otherwise, it wouldn’t just be difficult to discuss marriage — it would be nearly impossible.

After reviewing the profiles of the three girls, Gu Youyou said, "Let’s send soone to the ho of the Vice Minister of Punishnts to discuss first, and I’ll accompany you tomorrow."

Gu Youyou wasn’t necessarily impressed with the looks of the Vice Minister’s daughter, but mainly because she was a bit older.

Talking marriage for that fourteen-year-old? She found it incomprehensible, too sinful.

By comparison, one who is seventeen could barely be acceptable.

...

"Prince, Princess, Pri Minister Zhang requests to see you!"

The maid reported as Prince Qin and Xie Qinyun were having breakfast with their twin sons.

Xie Qinyun swallowed a delicate piece of pastry and wondered, "This early, what is Pri Minister Zhang up to?"

Prince Qin stood up and said, "You continue eating at leisure, I’ll go and see him!"

Xie Qinyun was, after all, a woman of ancient tis; she knew to avoid involved in n’s affairs and didn’t think much of it.

Pri Minister Zhang was invited by Prince Qin into the reception hall; shortly thereafter, he himself went over, still dressed in his ho attire.

"Pri Minister Zhang, what’s so urgent that you couldn’t restrain yourself from visiting the Prince Residence at dawn?"

Pri Minister Zhang laughed heartily, "Good news, naturally I must seize the early hours!"

"Oh, good news?" Prince Qin smiled, "Pri Minister Zhang, please be seated first."

Both took their seats, and then the maid brought tea and snacks, allowing Pri Minister Zhang to slowly begin.

"I’m here today to talk about sothing, and it embarrasses to bring it up!"

With a look of distress, he said, "Perhaps you are unaware, but my second daughter, Shiyu, has long admired you, Prince Qin, and she refuses to marry anyone else, claiming she won’t marry anyone but you."

Prince Qin’s expression seed sowhat odd.

Your daughter isn’t married simply because no one dares to marry her!

Their previous visit to Ningwang Residence, although that matter was kept under wraps, this world doesn’t have an impenetrable wall — he knew so of it.

Thinking to oneself, wasn’t your daughter said to be obsessed with my elder brother before? What do you an by suddenly changing heart?

Pri Minister Zhang didn’t pay attention to Prince Qin’s expression and continued, "Seeing her crying day in and day out, tell , what am I as a father supposed to do? Alas! Child are here to collect debts, I’m thriving in the officialdom, adept at handling all sorts of matters effortlessly, except when it cos to children, I’m utterly helpless. So I’m here to boldly ask Prince Qin for marriage."

As he spoke of the officialdom, he exhibited sowhat of a proud deanor, implicitly conveying his point clearly.
