"How could I affect his state of mind for the exams? I naturally agreed right away, thinking that this child has always been sensible and never asked for anything extravagant. If I didn't agree, wouldn't I have been too indifferent?"
"So you really agreed?" A few relatives were still a bit surprised, but not foolish. Although they wanted to introduce their own children to Chu Sheng, they wouldn't offend Madam Zhang.
After all, Madam Zhang's status was now extraordinary, as she was the mother of a scholar.
Madam Zhang, of course, used these words to fend off the relatives who wanted to introduce potential matches to Chu Sheng. In her heart, she had no plans to pair her son with a girl from the village, even though there were many girls who could read and write there now. Nevertheless, their family background was still a consideration.
She wanted to find Chu Sheng a girl from another scholar's family, or perhaps the daughter of a county official.
