Chapter 772 - 773: The Matchmaker Comes to the Door (2)_1
"Has Miss Cai Wei gone out? Where has she gone? When will she be back?"
Hearing that Cai Wei had left, Huo Yuan’s heart ’thumped’ in fear that she had gone to Lingbei to find him. Fortunately, Mu Zhongqing said, "Her master sent her on some errands and she will be back in a few days."
Knowing that Cai Wei had not gone to Lingbei, Huo Yuan eased his fears, chatted with Mu Zhongqing for a while, and then made his excuses to leave.
Knowing that he had been detained by the Ying Tianfu, his family must already know about it. He needed to return to the mansion, pay respects to his mother, and take the opportunity to deal with those who wanted to stir up trouble in his absence!
Not long after Huo Yuan left, a fat woman in a floral brocade beizi came in, followed by eight young servants, all carrying boxes and rolls of silk tied with red ribbons.
Mu Zhongqing and Zhao Yang were stunned. No matter how you looked at it, this fat woman looked like a typical matchmaker, and the things carried by the servants behind her, all tied with red ribbons, seemed like bridal gifts. What on earth was going on?
The fat woman, swaying her waist like a water bucket, approached Mu Zhongqing with a huge smile, fluttered her handkerchief, and said in a thin voice, "Oh my, are you Scholar Mu, Elder Mu?"
Mu Zhongqing nodded, still looking completely lost, "May I ask, who are you....."
The fat woman covered her mouth with a giggle, her full face scrunching up into a pile of folds and pushing down the layer of thick white powder on her face which began to crumble.
"Hehe, my name is Lady Zhang. In the capital, I’m known as the golden-mouthed matchmaker. I’ve been a matchmaker in the capital for thirty years now. I’ve successfully paired countless beautiful women and talented men, earning so much merit!"
