Chapter 571 - 346: Matchmaking
The news of the two young men who ranked in the top ten living in the newly moved-in courtyard spread around in less than half a day.
This place is not far from the hotpot shop that opened last year, and some people remember seeing these guys there during the exams last year.
Some people still remember them.
In a short year, Nanyang Prefecture already has seven or eight branches. Although most customers are ordinary people, the business has always been very good.
It’s just that Xiaomi hasn’t received her share of the bonus yet, but it’s said that this year she will get it. Speaking of it, she’s quite looking forward to it.
After a lively lunch, Xiaomi finally couldn’t hold on and was taken back to her room to sleep by Xiaoxue.
When she woke up from her nap, she discovered a strange aunt in floral clothes in the main hall.
She quickly tugged at Wei Ziang, who happened to be passing by: "Little brother, who is that? Smiling so slyly, what’s she up to?"
Wei Ziang glanced over and suddenly chuckled: "You mean that aunt? She’s said to be a very famous matchmaker."
"A matchmaker?" Xiaomi’s eyes lit up: "Who is she matchmaking for?"
"Who else do you think?"
Xiaomi’s eyes darted around, and she immediately thought of it: "Big brother and Ze bro?"
The look on her face of being ready to watch the show was just too obvious.
Wei Ziang nodded, then shook his head: "Ze bro doesn’t have much to worry about. Uncle Liu and Aunt Qian aren’t here, and the aunt has no say."
But as for the big brother, that’s uncertain.
Xiaomi also noticed.
"Mom seems pretty happy; could it be that she’s being swayed by the matchmaker?"
The parental order and matchmaker’s words are quite powerful. If dad and mom agree, big brother really wants to marry the best, and if he doesn’t want to, he still has to marry!
"Aunt probably won’t be easily swayed, and big brother is not that old. Didn’t we say to wait a few more years before?"
Wei Ziang wasn’t worried.
It’s just that the aunt seemed very happy chatting with the matchmaker, as if she would agree to the marriage in the next moment.
"What are you guys doing?" A voice suddenly appeared, startling Xiaomi, who was eavesdropping.
Wei Ziang didn’t react much, just nodded at the newcomer and was about to greet them when the matchmaker suddenly rushed out from the main hall.
"Oh my, this is the young gentleman, right? Indeed, he has an impressive presence. The girl I mentioned saw him at the teahouse this morning and fell in love at first sight. Isn’t it, she insisted on having me mediate this."
The newcomer was about to clasp his fists and speak, but as soon as he raised his hand, the matchmaker grabbed it.
"Look, look at this young gentleman, not only handsome but also has good posture. He matches the young lady I mentioned perfectly, Mrs. Jiang, you should agree to this marriage."
"The Miss Liu I mentioned, although from a merchant family for generations, her family is wealthy, and she is the only daughter. If she could form a good match with your young gentleman, it would be a perfect union."
Second Aunt followed out, looking at the child whose wrist was grabbed by the matchmaker, staring blankly at her, she stifled a laugh but looked a bit troubled on the surface.
"Matchmaker Wang, the Liu family’s background is indeed excellent. If we could make a connection with them, it would be nothing but beneficial for our Yu’er. But did Miss Liu really fancy him?"
As she spoke, she also glanced worriedly at the man.
Matchmaker Wang appeared unwaveringly confident, almost thumping her chest in assurance: "Rest assured, Mrs. Jiang, this is what Miss Liu said herself; how can it be false?"
Immediately following, Second Aunt sighed in disappointment: "Then there’s no way."
Seeing the good thing that was about to be realized suddenly slipping away, Matchmaker Wang became anxious.
"How come there’s no way? Mrs. Jiang, didn’t you just think it was quite good?"
Second Aunt looked at the tightly gripped wrist by Matchmaker Wang, quickly pulling her hand away, noticing his wrist turned red, showing some concern: "Are you okay?"
"It’s okay, Aunt don’t worry."
Matchmaker Wang was taken aback: "Aunt?"
Second Aunt nodded helplessly: "Yes, this child is named Liu, a friend’s child. He is here alone and has been living with us in Nanyang Prefecture."
"It’s a pity his parents are not in Nanyang, and I, as his aunt, cannot decide his marriage. Miss Liu’s kind intentions can only be appreciated for now."
