Matchmaker Yao pulled over a stool and warmly grasped Old Lady Xu's hand, "Old sister, what other happy event could there be? Of course, it's a great joy for your son, Genshu!"

“Look at this child. Although he has an official title, he is the only scholar in the entire village.”

“Genshu is nineteen years old this year, aren’t you thinking about his marriage?”

As she spoke, Matchmaker Yao nudged Old Lady Xu with her shoulder, suggesting that the two were quite familiar with each other.

Grandma Xu turned her body to the side, subtly avoiding Matchmaker Hu's touch, "Genshu has been busy studying at the private school, these things aren't urgent."

Matchmaker Yao slapped her thigh and began to lecture, "Old sister, you're wrong to think like that. Marriages are arranged by parents and matchmakers. When children grow up, they have to get married and start their own families."

"Even if Genshu becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination, let alone now that he has passed the county-level exam, you still have to consider these things for him, right?"

This matchmaker, Yao, was the kind of person who could say whatever she wanted to anyone, and today she was determined to be the matchmaker for the Xu family, so she had a whole basketful of nice things to say.

Grandma Xu finally managed to deal with the people and had just sat down when Granny Zhou teased her, "That's great, your Genshu's good fortune is about to be resolved."

You should know that Yao, the matchmaker, came from a family that had been involved in matchmaking for generations. She had been exposed to it since childhood, and this influence had only intensified in her generation.

Ordinary families can't even afford to hire a matchmaker, yet today she actually came to their door on her own initiative.

Grandma Xu picked up the teapot to pour herself a drink, but when she lifted the pot, it was empty. The melon seeds and peanuts on the table were also gone, leaving only a table full of shells.

"You know, people say she makes a living with her mouth. Not only is she eloquent, but she also never misses a meal." Yao the matchmaker ate and drank all the water and melon seeds by herself; her mouth was never idle for a moment.

"Grandma, I'll go get it." Fu Man'er ran back to the main room in a flash, brought out a pot of tea, and then filled a small bowl with melons and fruits.

"Oh my, this child can really sit still. If it were my Erni, she would have run far away by now." If it weren't for Fu Man'er speaking, Granny Zhou would have almost forgotten that this person was still sitting next to her.

"Yes, why isn't Man'er playing today?" Grandma Xu also found it strange, as her granddaughter usually runs all over the village.

What they didn't know was that Fu Man'er had been listening very attentively when Matchmaker Yao was saying those things. Not only did she listen attentively here, but sometimes when she was playing, if she saw a group of young wives, older sisters-in-law, or old women talking, Fu Man'er would go over and listen to a few words.

"Grandma, is it true that Matchmaker Yao said our family will have double happiness?" As soon as the things were put down, Fu Man'er pulled over a small stool, ready to continue listening.

Old Mrs. Xu spat, "What does it have to do with her? That old woman has no good intentions, she won't waste her energy."

Granny Zhou had a different opinion: "That's true, but matchmaking for a scholar is a huge deal. If it works out, Matchmaker Yao will be all high and mighty. Just you wait and see, you'll have a lot of trouble in the next few days."

Grandma Xu sighed, "Look at those girls she's talking about, each one is a celestial beauty and incredibly capable. My Genshu is not good enough for them."

It wasn't that she looked down on her son, but rather that Hu the matchmaker rarely spoke the truth.

Two years ago, I acted as a matchmaker for a girl in the village. I told her that the man was very hardworking and capable, and that he never stopped working at night. I assured her that she would have a good life after marrying him. But after she got married, she found out that the man was a night watchman.

Last year, I acted as a matchmaker for a widower in the village. The widower was initially against it, as he was nearly forty years old and his children were all grown up. However, I insisted on doing the matchmaking because the woman's family would give a generous red envelope.

Tell the widower that the woman is calm and sensible, and can take care of the children when they grow up, and can also take good care of the widower.

The widower believed her nonsense. When he went to see her, he found that the woman was over fifty years old. It was more like she was looking for her own mother than a wife.

Such things happen all the time. Old Mrs. Xu really didn't have a good impression of this matchmaker, Yao, and she certainly wouldn't dare let her ruin their family's genealogy book.

If we find a fifty-year-old woman for Genshu, will he call her "Mom" or "Old Sister"? (m.cascoo.net)

After listening for a while, Fu Man'er had an idea. "Grandma, I'm going out to play."

She called out and ran towards the Zhou family's house next door. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Wang Erni's mother, Li Yue, hanging quilts on a line to dry. Without thinking, she said:

"Auntie, Erni wet the bed again?"

"No, I didn't, I didn't wet the bed!" Wang Erni's desperate cry to cover up her mistake came from inside the room. She ran out before she had even finished putting on her pants, grabbed Fu Man'er, and ran outside, afraid that Li Yue would speak.

The two ran out of the yard before Wang Erni let go of their hands, hastily tugging at her pants. "Where are we going to play?"

Fu Man'er shook her head, "I'm not playing today, something important has come up."

"Hmm?" Wang Erni looked at Fu Man'er's serious expression and was very puzzled. What important thing was it? Was cooking not allowed during today's pretend play?

This was the biggest thing Wang Erni could think of.

A little while later, two little girls, along with a half-grown goose, stealthily hid behind a big tree.

"Man'er, did the matchmaker really say she'd betroth the Wang family's daughter to your uncle?" Wang Erni peeked out and then immediately pulled back in.

In Fu Man'er's words, they were here to first assess Xu Genshu's character and see what those seemingly angelic, gentle, and well-mannered girls were really like.

"Not only the Wang family's daughters, but also the Zheng family's, the Cheng family's, the Hu family's, and many, many more." Fu Man'er counted on her fingers, these were all girls that Matchmaker Yao had to praise to the skies.

"Man'er, look, someone's coming out!" Wang Erni called out. The two of them hugged the tree trunk, one on each side, looking towards the Wang family girl.

According to Matchmaker Yao, the Wang family's daughter is as beautiful as an angel, unlike any other, and is a perfect match for Xu Genshu.

this……

Fu Man'er glanced at it once and immediately turned back. Oh my god, she must have seen it right.

Wang Erni was also stunned. "Man'er, so celestial beings really do look different from us?" It seems that being a mortal is not so bad after all.

"Let's go." Fu Man'er was upset and pulled Wang Erni to the Zheng family. Although the matchmaker Hu did not say what the Zheng family's daughter looked like, she did say that the Zheng family's daughter was the most gentle and proper, and spoke softly, unlike the other girls in the village.

Before the two had found a hiding place, they saw two women arguing in the courtyard, one older and one younger. Both seemed very agitated, as they were not only talking but also arguing.

He pulled her hair with his left hand, twisted her arm with his right hand, and banged her head against his chest.

Ouch! Fu Man'er gasped, "That hurts!"

The fierce battle ended with a decisive and overwhelming victory for the larger force.

Wang Erni gripped Fu Man'er's arm tightly. "This Sister Zheng is indeed different from the girls in the village. While others shout and yell when they fight, she uses her mouth to bite people. She really doesn't have time to shout. She's amazing!"

Fu Man'er felt a sharp pain in her soft flesh. It was Wang Erni who led her to the next house. The two of them were really lucky; they happened to run into Cheng's daughter outside collecting quilts.

"Man'er, look, this Sister Cheng is quite nice." The two little girls pretended to squat down and play in the mud, but their eyes kept glancing over.

Matchmaker Yao said that this married girl is the kindest, quick-witted, and capable of handling everything inside and outside the home.

Fu Man'er thought she looked alright, but she didn't know what they were whispering about. The two little girls squatted on the ground and moved over step by step.

"You old hag, I'll teach you to talk back! I'll hide a needle in the blanket and stab you to death."

Um? ? ? ?

“I’m not going to do anything, I’m just lazy. I’ll make you a dress right now, and fill it with needles, to prick you to death, you talkative old woman.”

Cheng's daughter rushed into the house, leaving Fu Man'er and Wang Erni bewildered in the wind. "Hehe, Man'er, you know what, Sister Cheng is quite quick and efficient. Look, she's already started cutting fabric."

Fu Man'er didn't speak. She raised her head and glanced at the quilt hanging down. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the quilt was dotted with stars, which made people feel a sudden chill.

It's numb, it's really numb.

Fu Man'er lowered her head and refused to go to the next house, letting Wang Erni pull her along.

"Man'er, look, isn't that your uncle?"
