Madam Liu hurriedly responded.

Ye Muyu naturally smiled without saying a word.

At the same time, she called for Madam Hu, who was serving her, to come forward and pass Yan’er a gift. A silver bracelet was not very expensive, but in the eyes of Madam Liu, it was enough.

However, when he thought of the expensive gifts that each family had given her, she knew that he could only return the favor when she interacted with these wealthy families in the future.

Sun Yan’er lowered her eyebrows and bowed in thanks.

Mrs. Sun said, “Yan’er, greet the other Madams as well.”

Then, Sun Yan’er greeted each of the madams in turn.

“Mrs. Xie, after joining Chu Heng’s banquet today, we should join the Third Young Master’s banquet another day,” Mrs. Sun said.

“It’s good news, so congratulations.”

“My son is naughty and does not deserve your praise. However, Yu ‘er is still young. There are still the general exams and the court examinations. Although he is young, he still has to take a gamble. I’m afraid that Yu’er will have to study hard in the next few days. As his mother, I only hope that he will get what he wants as soon as possible so that he will not have to suffer anymore.” Mrs. Xie’s words were full of hints.

However, Mrs. Sun was unwilling to give up.

“Mrs. Xie, Third Young Master will be seventeen this year, right? It’s about the age to get married.”

When the other girls heard this, they all hurriedly looked at Mrs. Xie, feeling a little nervous.

Ye Muyu watched from the side. What else could she not understand? Xie Yu, who had passed the high scholar examination, had become a hot potato. Even the county magistrate’s wife was probably tempted.

Ye Muyu could not help but glance over. Sure enough, she saw Mrs. Xu’s gaze also fall on Mrs. Xie. Beside her, Miss Xu Jiao’er’s eyes were filled with anticipation. From the looks of it, she had been interested for a long time.

“Sigh, this is also what Old Master and I are most worried about. We want to find a wife for Yu’er as soon as possible so that he can settle down.”

“But my Yu’er insisted that he would only marry after he passes the advanced scholar examination.”

“Mrs. Sun, what can I do as a mother?”

When Madam Sun heard this, she knew that if Xie Yu were to pass the advanced scholar examination, how could they be able to climb up to him? At that time, she was afraid that he would even be worthy of a princess (There were records of a top scholar marrying a princess in Great Chu).

In other words, Madam Xie had clearly rejected her.

“Mrs. Xie, you shouldn’t spoil the child. You said that the Third Young Master studies hard, so he needs a caring wife to take care of him. Only then can Third Young Master live a more comfortable life, right?”

“Look at how close Young Mrs. Chu and Chu Heng are. It didn’t affect the exam, right?”

Mrs. Xie was very calm. She sighed helplessly. “I was the one who thought of this, but Ah Yu said that if he could be nominated this year, he would go home and get married. At that time, it would be double happiness, and he would be able to live up to his ancestors.”

“Even if he doesn’t pass the test this year, he’ll still need to get married and complete the responsibility of carrying on the family line. It’s only a half-a-year wait, so as a mother, how can I not agree?”

Since Mrs. Xie had already said that, everyone present knew that the Xie family did not want to get married now.

No matter what, it was probably useless.

Although it was a little regretful, the reason for the other party’s rejection was really irrefutable, so he could only give up on this idea for now.

Mrs. Xie picked up the teacup and drank calmly. She did not intend to let her son marry in the county. Even if Xie Yu did not have such thoughts, she would have rejected him.

No matter what, the general exams and court examinations were the most important.

Mrs. He and Mrs. Hong were just bringing their daughters over to look around. If they were lucky enough to have Xie Yu take an interest in them, they would naturally be happy and take advantage of it.

However, even the county magistrate’s family did not seem to have a chance, so the two of them did not have any thoughts.
