Chapter 506: Su Pei's Marriage Arrangement Meeting

The next day, Madam Wen went to the Su Mansion to propose marriage. After arriving at Su He's house, she did not say anything polite and directly told him the purpose of her visit. Of course, Su He's parents could not agree to this on behalf of Su Pei.

He sent a servant to call Su Pei over and ask for his opinion.

When Su Pei came in and saw the master's wife coming, he quickly stepped forward to greet her: "Student greets the master's wife."

Mrs. Wen helped him up with a smile and let him sit on the chair beside her.

Su Heniang smiled and said, "Your master's wife was asked by someone to talk about your marriage. The daughter of your master's good friend, Uncle Master Cui Hao, I suggest you meet her first and see what's going on."

Mrs. Wen also smiled and said, "I'm going to tell you what I know now. This girl, Cui Lingling, is two years younger than you. Her age is really suitable.

Miss Cui has loved embroidery since she was a child. She is very good at it and also likes to draw. In short, she is a good child. She is quiet and not ostentatious, and is a good candidate for a wife. As for the others, you need to meet them once to see if you are compatible.

People often say that fate determines everything, and even the best girl won’t work if she’s not the right one.”

As soon as Su Pei heard it, he knew that his master's wife was thinking about him, so he might as well meet her. He was old enough, and Su Feng was already engaged, so he should also want to see her.

He smiled and said, "I will rely on my aunt and my master's wife to arrange everything. I know you are all thinking about me."

When Mrs. Wen heard Su Pei say this, she was very pleased and said with a smile: "That's great, you trust Master's wife, I will go back and discuss the time, and we can also talk about two times for reference."

Su He Niang said, "Many people who have come to our house these past few days are here to ask about their marriage. Don't wait too long. Let's meet them tomorrow or the day after tomorrow! They just finished their exams and are resting at home. It's a good time for them to meet."

Then he asked Su Pei: "Su Pei, do you think it's okay? If not, just think about it and don't wait."

Su Pei said with a smile: "Auntie has thought it through very carefully. Let's just do it in these two days!"

"Master's wife, once you have made the order, just send someone over to let us know."

Su Pei was not being polite, they were like his own family in this home. Auntie always treated all five children equally, and there was no difference in food, clothing, housing and transportation. The only difference was the way they were addressed.

Mrs. Wen happily said goodbye and left, and took a car directly to Cui's house. The men of the two families were close, and the women had a good relationship. However, as the mistresses of the house, they were busy with a lot of things at home and outside every day, so they didn't have many opportunities to meet.

The doorman announced that Madam Wen was here to visit, and Madam Cui excitedly went out with her maids to greet her. She grabbed Madam Wen, who had just got off the car, and affectionately invited her to come into the house quickly.

The two walked into the hall, holding hands and talking intimately. Madam Cui asked the maid to serve tea and fruit snacks and entertained Madam Wen warmly.

Madam Wen smiled and said, "You must know the purpose of my visit, so let's just be frank! I have already done half of what Lord Cui said. Let's meet first and talk about the rest later. Let's see each other."

Mrs. Cui clasped her hands together and said yes repeatedly, smiling, "If this works out, we will truly become relatives, and the sisters will become sisters-in-law. It will be great. I'll listen to you. You decide when we'll meet."

Mrs. Wen said, "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are both fine. Do you think these two days are feasible?"

Mrs. Cui smiled and said, "That's great! Let's make it tomorrow at noon. It will save us from the hassle of waiting and the possibility that such a good child will be snatched away by other families. Don't blame me for being anxious. We have seen the child before, and he looks good. Not to mention that he is a student of Lord Wen, so his character must be good enough."

Madam Wen smiled and said, "Just find ways to praise our family! Isn't Wen Lan the same as your Lord Cui? Otherwise, how could they get along so well?"

Mrs. Cui covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed: "Let's praise each other! I know you are a good person, otherwise I wouldn't have come to your house for this matter. When the matter is completed, I will definitely reward you handsomely and give you a set of fine headgear."

Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "If it works out, I will be very grateful. This is a good marriage..."

The two said they wanted to see the location, so they booked a private room in Fumanlou. When Mrs. Wen came, the Su family had already agreed on the meeting place.

Madam Wen sent a message to the Su family to arrange a meeting place at noon tomorrow.
