Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 2035 - 2043: Wu’er Discusses Marriage (4)

The woman’s expression stiffened slightly and said, "Thank you, Young Master, for the reminder. Thanks to Young Master for helping this young lady. This young lady now has quite a lot of silver on hand. For the time being, I probably don’t need to show my face in those places."

She didn’t say she wouldn’t go from now on, but rather that she wouldn’t have to go for a while, seemingly having some unspeakable concerns. Mu Chongwu, being kind-hearted, saw the woman’s evasive words and troubled expression and said, "If you have any difficulties, you can go to the nearby Mujipi Fur Shop and find Shopkeeper Sun to help you. Just don’t risk going to restaurants and tea houses anymore; those places are full of mixed crowds. If you encounter a scoundrel again, you might not be lucky enough to have someone save you every time..."

The woman raised her head after hearing this and gratefully said, "Yes, this young lady understands!"

After parting from this girl, Chong Wu quickly forgot about the matter because the two princes were about to get married, and he, being an uncle, also started to help his two nephews...

Chong Wen married Yanran, and the two nephews are about to get married as well, leaving only him as a bachelor at home. Lady Du, who has been worrying about her sons for years, couldn’t remain idle. Soon, she focused her attention on Chong Wu. Chong Wu is twenty-two years old this year, which might still be considered a young man now, but in ancient times he was already a young adult.

Previously, he would always use the excuse of waiting for his brother to marry to avoid marriage himself. Now that his brother is married, he inevitably became the primary concern of his mother. That evening, not long after returning to the mansion, he saw Nanny Liu coming to invite him.

"Second Young Master, Madam has sent this servant to invite you over to talk."

Chong Wu twitched the corners of his mouth twice and said, "Auntie Liu, please be honest with me. Has my mother found another suitable Miss for me somewhere?"

Nanny Liu used to be Auntie Liu, and having served Lady Du since the Qingyun Town days, she holds a high position in the Mu Family. Even Chong Wen and Chong Wu have to call her ’you’ out of respect.

Nanny Liu smiled and said, "Isn’t it good to suggest a bride for you? Having a loving and understanding person care for you is wonderful. Look at Young Master Wen now, he and Young Madam are as sweet as honey. If you also find such a person, wouldn’t that relieve Old Master and the Madam? And then next year, have a big bouncing boy..."

Nanny Liu went on and on, describing a beautiful future. However, Wu’er felt a headache from listening. He wasn’t sure how many times his mother had spoken these words to him, but his thoughts were the same as his brother’s; he hoped to find someone he genuinely liked, who was compatible with him. That woman doesn’t need to be extraordinarily beautiful, just someone who shares his values. But the Misses from the official families that his mother mentioned, their dreams were all about using their husband’s status to receive imperial favors and becoming notable Noble Ladies. Who among them would be willing to have their husband not enter officialdom but rather become the wife of a merchant with low status?

...

At the Zizhu Courtyard where Lady Du lives, his brother and sister-in-law were also there. After marriage, his brother smiled more than ever, always with a faint smile on his face, spoke more, but his gaze was constantly glued to his sister-in-law, as if stuck, so sweet it was almost sickening to watch.

After paying respects to his mother, Chong Wu sat down on the chair he often sat in. Lady Du said joyfully, "Wu’er, today at Zhang Shangshu mother’s Birthday Feast, I saw the Second Miss of Zhang Shangshu’s house. Truly, she is an exceptionally good girl, born with a beauty that could make fish sink and birds fall. She is skilled in zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, female workers’ carving knife..."

"Mother!"

Chong Wu interrupted her and said with a smile, "Right now, the Prince and Prince Fu are about to get married, the house is busy, let’s talk about my matter later, shall we? There’s no need to make Older sister feel like I’m competing for attention with the children."

Chong Wen understood his brother’s thoughts and stepped in to help, saying, "What Wu’er said is reasonable, Mother. Let the matter of Zhang Shangshu’s daughter wait until after the Prince and Prince Fu’s grand wedding!"

Lady Du hesitated and said, "It’s just a matter of exchanging the engagement letter, which won’t cause any trouble. Why wait? Zhang’s Miss is so good, what if she gets engaged to another family?"

Yanran smiled and said, "If in the next few days she still doesn’t wait, then it’s simply not destined for Miss Zhang and Little Uncle. There’s nothing to regret. The world is vast, there are plenty of good girls, Mother, don’t worry about it."

Lady Du is very fond of this eldest daughter-in-law. Hearing her say this, she replied, "Fine, let’s wait until Jin’er and Yu’er’s grand wedding, but after their wedding, there’ll be no more excuses."
