Chapter 1968: Chapter 1968: She Might Come to Her Senses Tomorrow
Shu Yu looked suspiciously at Meng Yunzheng, had he heard they three had returned? He’s so busy, where did he hear it from?
There must be other matters involved.
Sure enough, after dinner, while the others were chatting in the courtyard, Shurui and the others regretted not being able to meet Daniu before he left. Meng Yunzheng gave Shu Yu a look, and the two returned to the room to talk privately.
Meng Yunzheng said, “I met Xun Sheng and Gan Rui this afternoon.”
Shu Yu was taken aback, then smirked, “Did Gan Rui mention Ah Han to you?”
Meng Yunzheng is Meng Han’s cousin, and currently the person in the Meng family most capable of making decisions. Moreover, he’s right in the prefecture. If Gan Rui truly has intentions toward Meng Han, logically he does need to visit him first.
Just didn’t expect him to be so eager, Xun Sheng just came back, and he couldn’t wait to bring him along.
Meng Yunzheng raised his eyes, “You know he has feelings for Ah Han…”
Shu Yu nodded, “I noticed.” She recounted Gan Rui’s behavior over the past few days, “Today I asked Jiang Fengshou about the Gan family’s situation, originally planning to discuss it with you tomorrow, but didn’t expect Gan Rui to approach you first. Since he came to you, what do you think?”
Meng Yunzheng sighed heavily, “I didn’t think much, just let him leave.”
“Huh?”
“After he left, I did take some time to understand the Gan family. Their family is well-mannered, and considering Ah Han’s cheerful and lively nature, marrying into the Gan family would indeed be easier, without too many convoluted schemes.”
Especially since Gan Rui is very fond of her.
The Gan family is wealthy, with competent relatives above, so she won’t need to manage a large family. Gan Rui is also a Scholar, potentially advancing further in the future, Meng Han marrying him won’t need to worry about her livelihood and can live a carefree life.
If she suffers any grievance, there’s him to stand up for her, no need to fear lacking support.
But no matter how good the Gan family is, it requires Meng Han to be willing herself.
Evidently, Meng Han hasn’t realized it yet, and moreover, she’s still young, so there’s no need to rush.
Shu Yu laughed, “We all think she’s still young and all know there’s no need to hurry. But your aunt is anxious indeed; do you really think Ah Han came here just to play in the prefecture? In Chenggu County, there are many families eager to propose to Ah Han, causing quite a commotion.”
At this time, getting engaged at fourteen, and marrying after coming-of-age, are very common practices.
Even if engaged, actually getting married by eighteen is fine, people will perceive it as the parents wanting to keep their daughter for a couple more years, a sign of loving tenderness.
But if she reaches eighteen without a single engagement, people will likely think the girl has issues, otherwise why hasn’t anyone proposed?
Ms. Tao previously focused her heart on Tao Qin, neglecting Meng Han too much.
Later, she deeply regretted and now wholeheartedly pours herself into Meng Han, but going too fast.
For Ms. Tao, who is desperately trying to make amends, Meng Han, a girl with a gentle heart, can’t say harsh words. So seeing Ms. Tao so eager, her only thought was to escape.
Meng Yunzheng pondered, “I’ll talk to my uncle and aunt about this later.”
“Later? Do you have the time for that?”
Meng Yunzheng choked, “In any case, Ah Han is still young and hasn’t figured things out yet. If Gan Rui truly has intentions, he should slowly work for it. If he can wait, fine; if not, there’s nothing we can do.”
Shu Yu chuckled, “Who knows, she might figure it out by tomorrow.”
