Chapter 812: Matchmaker (Extra for 900 monthly votes)
"And the purse, handkerchief, and shoes’ embroidery work are actually quite remarkable..." Yuan Mengzu couldn’t be bothered to guess at what Chen Family’s matriarch was thinking and continued to examine the gifts, "They’re also suitable for little girls to wear and use..."
"These were embroidered by my niece, Xiangxiang." Dai Chenshi hurriedly smiled upon hearing this, "The child is modest but skilled at needlework, and over the years with me feeling unwell, she has been by my side to alleviate my boredom.

"Madam Li, didn’t you mention a while ago that a distant cousin of yours had a son who was seeking a wife?" Cai Wenjuan directly addressed the plump Madam Li, "I think Miss Chen the third would be just perfect..."
