"Madam Xie, my little daughter Xu Yuanyin is the only legitimate daughter in the family. The master has always loved her very much. She has been able to learn since she was three years old."

"Not only that, my daughter is good at singing and dancing, and is proficient in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She is also good at riding and archery. She is a perfect match for Mr. Xie. It is simply a match made in heaven."

"Most importantly, my little girl is gentle, well-educated and well-mannered. She will definitely be a good wife for the Xie family."

Mrs. Xu thought of her daughter and wished she could use all the words of praise she could find.

In her heart, her daughter is a goddess from heaven. If anyone marries Yin'er, it would be a blessing earned through several lifetimes of hard work.

Yun Zhihan was stunned by her compliments. He couldn't help but wonder in his mind, does such a perfect woman really exist?

"Hanhan, this Xu Yuanyin is the only female guest who came into the thank-you banquet."

"Uh..." Yun Zhihan's face twitched when he heard Tongzi say this. It turned out that this was the woman the prince looked down upon.

Yun Zhihan didn't want to listen to them nagging in her ear anymore, so she smiled and said, "The Xie family thanks all the ladies for their appreciation. It's really unworthy for Bai Chen to receive such favor."

"However, after Chen'er comes back from court, I will discuss this with him and then give you ladies a reply. Is that ok?"

The ladies looked at each other and tactfully found excuses to leave.

After all, there are so many people, and they also know that Mrs. Xie cannot make a decision immediately.

But Mrs. Xu stayed resolutely as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, Yun Zhihan wanted to throw water all over her. She had no tact at all.

"Madam Xie, I think that the marriage of children should be decided by their parents. There is no need for the children to intervene. Don't you agree?"

"Mrs. Xu has a point. But as the legitimate mother of the Xie family, I hope that my children can choose their own lives. They already bear the burden of the family, so don't make it difficult for them to get married."

"Yeah, that's right. Madam Xie is really open-minded." Madam Xu complimented with a smile.

Yun Zhihan continued, "So, please give me some time, Madam Xu, and wait for Chen'er to think it over before making a decision."

Madam Xu would not sit still and wait for death. She suggested, "Madam Xie, I think it is better to meet in person than to meet. Why not hold a flower viewing banquet and invite daughters from all families to attend, so as to give Second Master Xie more choices."

Whether in terms of appearance or talent, her daughter will definitely stand out, and the Xu family has decided to make Xie Bochen their son-in-law.

Yun Zhihan looked at her helplessly, knowing very well that if he didn't agree, Madam Xu would probably stay here and not leave.

Besides, Chen'er has indeed reached the age for marriage. It would be better for him to get married and start a family early, so the Xie Mansion can be left to him without any worries.

"Just as Madam Xu said, once the date for the flower viewing banquet is set, the Xu family will be invited."

"Okay, it's a deal."

Mrs. Xu left with peace of mind only after hearing that her suggestion was adopted.

Yun Zhihan finally breathed a sigh of relief. The women in ancient times were even crazier in urging people to get married than the people today. The modern model was recruitment, while the ancient model was openly snatching.

Not long after, Bai Chen came back from court.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw gifts all over the floor and asked curiously, "Mom, are there guests coming to the mansion?"

"Really? There are quite a few of them." She didn't have a good rest.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'll kiss you."

"Why? All these old women do is matchmaking. Don't they have anything else to do?" Rejection was written all over Bo Chen's face, and swear words came out of his mouth.

"Chen'er, men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. This has been the tradition since ancient times. How can you say that?"

Although Yun Zhihan felt that his son was right, this was in ancient times and the Xie family still had a title to inherit, so there must be a mistress to take care of domestic affairs.

"What about my second sister? When it comes to marriage, shouldn't we find a matchmaker for her first?"

Yun Zhihan was speechless and could only stammer to explain, "Jin'er is not a man, mother can raise her."

Bo Chen frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction, "Mom, you girls are more tolerant of boys, what about cousin Yunyan? Are you going to support her too?"

"nature."

"Then the son also needs his mother to raise him."

"You're talking nonsense!" Yun Zhihan was so angry that he picked up the teacup next to him and was about to hit him with it.

Nanny Wen happened to come in and quickly stopped her, "Hey, Madam, what are you doing? Can't you just talk it out nicely?"

"Hmph! Mother is just partial." Bai Chen was not willing to be outdone, and he already had someone in his heart.

Yun Zhihan didn't want to spoil him, so she told him, "In two days, my mother will hold a flower-viewing banquet at home, and will invite young ladies from various noble families to come and enjoy the flowers. When the time comes, do you see if there is anyone you like?"

She secretly complained in her heart that her son really didn't know how to appreciate what he had. In ancient times, men had a hundred times more choices than women.

Moreover, the Xie family is favored by the emperor. As long as he likes it, which lady from aristocratic family would dare not be happy?

If it were in modern times, the matchmaker would be able to find dozens of men for her to choose from, and the other party couldn't refuse her. She would have cried with joy. But this boy is still not satisfied?

"My son doesn't want to go."

"I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm informing you."

Bo Chen felt aggrieved and angrily agreed, "I know! Humph! Mother is partial to my second sister and cousin."

Having said that, he ran away.

When Nanny Wen heard what they were arguing about, she guessed it almost exactly.

"Madam, this is to propose marriage to the Second Young Master."

"Ah."

To be honest, Yun Zhihan also had many concerns in his heart. The Xie family was now on the rise, but the higher you stand, the harder it hurts when you fall.

If he were to marry into another family, it would probably arouse the Crown Prince's suspicion. If there were treacherous ministers instigating the Crown Prince, he would be in even greater danger.

Therefore, this marriage still needs careful consideration. Let’s first see what Chen’er’s choice is.

"Tongzi, what kind of woman do you think Chen'er will choose as his wife?"

"I don't know." Tongzi just didn't dare to say it. He would let Bo Chen give Hanhan a big scare when the time comes. As a smart system, he didn't want to be scolded for no reason.

After coming out of the main hall, Bai Chen did not return to his room, but went to find his second sister.

At this time, she and Yunyan had just finished practicing martial arts and were lying on the bed resting, sweating profusely.

"Second sister, cousin."

"Bo Chen, why are you here?"

Both of them were a little surprised to see him. Since Bai Chen went to work in the court, he seldom went home. Even if he came back, he would go straight to see his mother. Why did he come here today?

"My younger brother has something that he would like to ask for help from the two sisters."

"Tell me about it." Bai Jin's curiosity was instantly aroused.

Bo Chen told the two of them his ideas and plans.

Yunyan was shocked when she heard this. "Are you sure you want to do this? Aunt, can she accept it?"

"No matter." Mother is the most soft-hearted and will not refuse to accept it, he comforted himself in this way.

However, Bai Jin agreed readily. She just liked to make her mother unhappy.
