"Your eldest cousin and the others are indeed ready to discuss marriage matches; they've already met with a few girls back at the old home," Chu Lin didn't keep this from the family and said with a smile as he stroked his beard, "All of them are from families of good character and simple backgrounds. I agree with Third Brother, given our current situation, it's not suitable to be too ostentatious. Therefore, selecting girls from scholarly families would be just right."
Chu Lin and his wife never considered daughters from powerful and influential families, after all, they were not in a position to marry above their status, and there's wisdom in the saying that it's better to marry a woman of higher status and take a daughter-in-law of lower status.
But those who had never been educated simply lacked broad vision. The Chu family wanted to develop, so choosing girls from ordinary scholarly families was just perfect.
