 Chapter 295: Thinking of Announcing a Marriage for Ziluo?

Nenya followed closely behind, each of the three carrying a vegetable basket which should be enough for the vegetables.


Ye Muyu didn't stop them.


Just as they walked out of the house, they bumped into their neighbor, Granny Lin. When Granny Lin saw Ye Muyu, she quickly walked over with a smile on her face, "Oh, isn't this Mrs. Ye? I heard that your daughter Ziluo ranked in the top one hundred in the girl's art competition. That's impressive. It's not like my children; one after another, either poor in tea art or bad in cooking. I'm embarrassed to even mention their rankings."


"Granny Lin, you're being too modest. I heard that the county has ranked every category and those who made it to the top one hundred will receive rewards." Ye Muyu replied gently, "Girls who are skilled in cooking and needlework nowadays won't have trouble finding a good marriage."


"That's right, isn't that what they're saying?" Granny Lin's face wrinkled with a smile. "These girls are now envious of others who have achieved good rankings. Finally, they're anxious to learn some skills."


"I'm going to have my children participate in the competition next year."


"By the way, I heard that the only one who made it into the top ten in the village is your eldest sister-in-law's Qingxiang?" Granny Lin couldn't help showing a look of admiration. "This child is really clever. I heard she's talking about marriage with the scholar from the Song family."


"She has become a celebrity in the village. I guess the wedding will take place in October." Ye Muyu thought, that's right. Her eldest sister-in-law would definitely not miss such a good opportunity to promote her daughter's reputation.


The Song family's conditions were already poor, so naturally they wanted to find a capable daughter-in-law.


Now, Qingxiang almost occupied all the conditions and she had even arranged a marriage in advance.


The Song family probably wished to hold the wedding as soon as possible to avoid any complications.


In this way, it would also please Zhang, the eldest sister-in-law. It probably wouldn't be long before they heard about the joyful news from the old mansion.


"Mrs. Ye, I won't chat with you anymore. It's getting late and I have to go and get some pigweed back with a basket. You're busy." Granny Lin said her goodbyes.


"Alright, take your time."


Ye Muyu agreed, leading the two children to the vegetable garden next to the house. They first dug up a few white radishes, and Chu Ziluo and Nenya helped remove the surface dirt before putting them into the basket.


There were quite a few people working in the village.


Ye Muyu spent some time picking vegetables.


Many people greeted her.


"Mrs. Ye, I heard that your daughter Ziluo made it into the top one hundred? This child is really capable."


"Ziluo has been capable since she was little. At just eight years old, she ranked eightieth. I don't know which family is lucky enough to marry such a good daughter-in-law."


"That's right, Mrs. Ye. When Ziluo is old enough, consider our stinky boy in my family. He's eagerly waiting."


In rural areas, girls could be engaged as early as ten years old.


In most cases, these were girls whose conditions were good and they were not worried about marriage. The families of the prospective husbands would invite a matchmaker early on.


If the girl's family valued the boy's family, they would agree to the engagement.


When the girl reached fourteen or fifteen years old, she could get married.


During this period, if either family did not want to proceed with the marriage, they could break off the engagement.


Generally speaking, such early engagements were rare, but in the case of Chu Ziluo, a girl with a good family background and reputation, it was a good match.


Therefore, later on, the villagers' praises turned into a trend of talking about marriage.


Ye Muyu would always smile and politely refuse "My daughter is only eight years old. It's too early. People usually wait until she's fourteen or fifteen. I still want to keep her at home for a while longer."
