The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 532 Second Brother Sets the Date

Grandma Wang never expected that the one stopping her this time would be her beloved granddaughter.

But since Xiao Ayu had already said that, she couldn't very well go against the child's wishes.

In Dachang, most men get married at 16, 18 is considered late, and 21 is naturally even later.

However, it's not impossible; students from poor families who wish to dedicate themselves to their studies may also delay marriage.

After all, getting married can harm your health and take away your energy, which might prevent you from passing the exam.

If one gets married too early and already has children, it will only delay things further.

Many students abandoned their studies in this way, passing the imperial examinations to become a junior scholar or a mediocre scholar, and then settled down to be a rural schoolteacher.

The Wang family would certainly not have this situation.

Old Mrs. Wang then called Wang Sanlang, Wang Silang, and Wang Qilang to Wang Erlang's bedside.

Previously, in order to make a show for the Jiang family, Old Madam Wang told Xiao Ayu not to worry about Wang Erlang's injury and to let him suffer for a couple of days to learn his lesson.

So now Wang Erlang is still lying in bed recovering from his injury, and he lamented that this injury had really hit the root of the problem, otherwise why would he be recovering so slowly?

"Erlang, I originally didn't want to make the decision about your marriage; I wanted your parents to decide. But since your mother is trying to pass the buck to me, I'll have to say a few things you don't like to hear." Old Mrs. Wang got straight to the point. "The second daughter of the Jiang family is naturally a good girl, and she's a good match for a blockhead like you. But we're not the kind of family that sells children for personal gain. If you're not willing, you can refuse this marriage."

Under the watchful eyes of his younger brothers and Xiao Ayu, Wang Erlang pleaded, "Grandma, I'm just thinking that my eldest brother married the daughter of the registrar. I don't know anything about the Jiang family's background. If my wife is of higher status than my sister-in-law, she'll feel—"

"You only care about yourself, why do you care about others?" Old Mrs. Wang couldn't stand his attitude. "You, and all of you, each of you has chosen your own wife. As long as the two of you are happy, who cares about her status? It's not like you're going to marry into her family. Thinking so much makes you look like you have a brain full of holes."

Little Ayu asked softly from the side, "Grandma means she's asking if you like that Jiang family sister, right? If you like her, you can get married; if you don't, we won't get married, and we'll quickly find someone else." Wang Erlang was speechless: "Getting married isn't something you can say so easily."

Little Ayu: "It's easy as it is! You either like it or you don't, it's that simple!"

Just like her, she likes Brother Ayou and feels that growing up with him, eating together at the Qin family's house next door, and then eating at the Wang family's house, would be such a wonderful thing.

Is it that difficult?
Wang Erlang thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.

He hadn't actually had much contact with the second young lady of the Jiang family, but looking back now, he thought she wasn't bad at all.

"Grandson will leave the decision entirely to Grandma," Wang Erlang said, under the urging gazes of his three younger brothers.

Little Ayu automatically acted as the translator: "If Second Brother doesn't agree, it means that I'm still young and want to stay with Mother for a few more years to fulfill my filial duty."

Grandma Wang: "..."

Wang Erlang struggled to knock her head: "Ayu, that's not how it's said!"

He's not going to marry into the family!
Wang Erlang agreed, and then Old Lady Wang asked Wang Chuangui and Madam Ma for their opinions. The two of them left the decision entirely to Old Lady Wang.

So the message was relayed to the Jiang family. They thought it would take several more days to get a response, but that very afternoon, someone saw three matchmakers walking out of the Jiang family's house, beaming as they went to the Wang family's house.

Within an hour, news spread that the second young master of the Prince's Mansion would be marrying the second young lady of the Jiang family on August 16th.

Everyone around was stunned: "So fast?!"
