Yun Jiao nodded. "Naturally."
Jiang Youzhi pondered for a moment. "But over at the Xie family, Xie Heng has already passed the provincial exam. In two months he'll be sitting the metropolitan exam. Let's wait and see. After the spring examinations, if their family still shows no sign of moving, we'll hurry and find Ruru another good son-in-law."
Yun Jiao nodded.
At the same time, in the Xie Taifu Mansion, Xie Heng was talking to his mother. "Mother, I beg you, tomorrow morning send someone to the Jiang Family to propose a marriage. If their family reports her name to the Ministry of Rites, it'll be too late."
Xie Heng's mother, Mrs. Ruan, said unhurriedly, "Heng'er, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that going tomorrow is already too late."
"A betrothal isn't that simple. First there's the small engagement, then the formal one. To get everything done will take at least a few months."
