The matchmaker stood to one side, not daring to say a word. She wore a smile so continuously that the muscles in her face became sore. Quite possibly, this was the easiest matchmaking job she had ever done in her career.
Since she set foot in the door and wished the household congratulations, there was barely anything more for her to do. The men and women of the family were already joyfully engaged in celebrating, leaving no opportunity for her to speak.
"Old man, what’s the celebration? Why are there firecrackers at the gate?" Lou Zheng and Gao Dashan shouted before they even entered the door.
"Did Huiniang give birth?" A group of women also came over.
"We humble folks pay respect to the Prince." As soon as they entered the door, they saw the courtyard filled with boxes, all tied with bright red ribbons. Everyone froze. Then they saw Chu Suifeng standing jubilantly beside the patriarch and Lin Changshu, all quickly bowing and paying their respects.
"No need for formalities." Chu Suifeng was in such good spirits today that, seeing the villagers coming over, he didn’t put on his usual stern face. Instead, he beamed with joy.
"What is this?" Sister-in-law Guihua, surprised at the sight of so many boxes in the courtyard, looked at Huiniang.
"Today is the day that the Prince is sending the betrothal gifts; it’s a day of great joy for the Lin family," stated the patriarch, speaking as the head of the household.
