Chapter 1374 - 200, A New Discovery (First Update)
Pouring a cup of tea for the matchmaker herself, Lady Jiang smiled with some sycophantic charm, "Madam, you must be the Tao Hua who everyone in the Capital city praises as capable of successfully arranging anything, right? Oh my, I have admired you for a long time and have been longing to meet you!"
Tao Hua stuffed an Osmanthus Cake into her mouth and waved her hand dismissively, "What successfully arranging anything? Tao Hua is nothing special, just someone who has arranged marriages for a few Consorts in the Capital, you know. The son of the Minister of Rites, his wife was matched by me. And the daughter of the Vice-President of the Hanlin Academy, she married the son of the Minister of Works, and that was a match I made too! Oh, right, they already have a son and daughter, and now she’s pregnant with the third, they even invited me to celebrate with drinks just the other day!"
Swallowing a mouthful of the cake, Tao Hua leaned toward Lady Jiang, grinning mischievously, "The couple is so sweet together, giving birth to one child after another. According to Miss Lu, they want to have seven or eight children!"
Lady Jiang looked at the cake crumbs at the corner of Tao Hua’s mouth and her large yellow teeth, and she couldn’t help feeling a bit nauseous. Added to that was the strong smell coming from her breath when she spoke close by, nearly making Lady Jiang vomit the food she had eaten the day before.
However, needing a favor from someone, she dared not show the slightest expression of disgust. Only when Tao Hua withdrew her face did Lady Jiang hold her breath, forced a smile, and wiped her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
Seeing Tao Hua eat so happily, yet not mentioning the matchmaking matter, Lady Jiang grew anxious. As Tao Hua was about to stuff another Osmanthus Cake into her mouth, Lady Jiang could no longer contain her impatience and asked, "That, dear Sister Tao Hua, you’ve arranged so many good matches, could you perhaps find a good husband for my daughter too?"
Tao Hua’s eyes darted around, and she didn’t finish the cake she was eating, casually throwing it onto the plate. She brushed her hands off, scattering crumbs onto Lady Jiang’s face.
Lady Jiang slightly furrowed her brow but said nothing.
