Chapter 340 The Prefect Arrives (3)
He is the legitimate prince of the Great Jin State, high above and unattainable. Only he can easily instruct the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture to run around for him willingly and be a matchmaker for nothing! But, didn't she make it clear to him? There is no possibility between the two of them. He can't marry her as his wife, and he can't guarantee that he won't take concubines in the future; and if she marries in this life, she will only be the wife and will never allow her husband to take concubines. Therefore, there is no possibility between them. Why should he go to such lengths and embarrass himself?
Mu Zhongqing and Du Shi looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
The prefect came to their house to attack them, which really gave them enough face. If they refused, they would seem too ignorant and ignorant, but accepting was not what they wanted.
Mu Zhongqing and his wife had already planned for the future of their daughters. They did not ask for wealth or ability, but only for the man to be able to support their daughters and hold them in their hands for the rest of their lives, and to protect them like treasures!
The family that the prefect was attacking must be a wealthy family. Not only was it beyond their reach, but they might also want to marry their daughters as concubines. Even if they were to be the legal wife, such a family would eventually take concubines and have maids, which they were not happy with. Therefore, after the prefect said the word "seeking marriage", Mu Zhongqing and his wife's expressions became tangled.
Prefect Han saw the reluctant expressions of the two and smiled indifferently.
They must not know who the other party is, so they made that expression as if their father had died. If they knew later that the one who wanted to marry their daughter was the richest man in Dajin, the future head of the Huo family, the younger brother of the most favored concubine in the palace, Concubine Huo Xianfei, and the uncle of King Jing, they would not make such an expression of forcing a good woman into prostitution, and they might be so happy that they would forget who their mother is!
"Isn't Mu Xiucai curious about who is asking for marriage to your eldest daughter?"
Han Zhifu kept it a secret. He was confident that Yucheng would succeed. Given who she was, even if she was a princess, she had to be wronged to marry Mr. Huo.
Mr. Huo was not only wealthy, young and handsome, upright, kind, humble and polite, but also backed by Concubine Xianfei and King Jing in the palace. He could be said to be a unique figure in Dajin, and he was indeed a rare candidate for a good son-in-law!
Even if it was him, he would be willing to marry his daughter to him, but unfortunately, he didn't like his daughter, and he knew to give up!
After hearing what Han Zhifu said, Mu Zhongqing had to continue: "I don't know who the other party is, but I only know one thing, my daughter would rather marry a farmer and hunter as a wife, and will never marry a rich man as a concubine!"
Mrs. Han heard what Mu Zhongqing said, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and laughed, saying: "Before coming, the man repeatedly said that he wanted to marry your daughter as his wife in a formal way, how could there be any talk of a concubine, you worry too much!"
Wen'er was young after all, and couldn't keep his temper. Seeing Han Zhifu and his wife, After repeatedly keeping the secret and not revealing who that person was, he could not help but ask, "Madam, who is going to marry my eldest sister? Is it someone we have met?"
Madam Du hurriedly shouted in a low voice, "Wen'er, don't be rude. When adults are talking, you, a child, have no right to interrupt."
After that, she looked at Madam Han and apologized, "Please forgive me, Madam. I am a country woman and I don't know how to discipline children. I am also negligent in disciplining them, so they don't know etiquette and worldly affairs, and their actions are erratic. They offended you with their words. I hope you will forgive me!"
