Chapter 220 Neighbors

The servant was a little puzzled. Although what he said was true, the Liu family was a scholarly family, and their neighbor was a merchant. They were completely unrelated!

However, since the young master has given the orders, he naturally has to carry them out properly.

"Yes, this servant understands."

The next day, Wu Yiming slept in late. He had been thinking about things late the night before and went to bed in the middle of the night, so he woke up late this morning.

She had just woken up and eaten a rather late breakfast when the maidservant serving her came to report: "Master, the new neighbors next door have sent over some things. What do you think?"

She didn't ask what the gift was, only saying, "Didn't the neighbors find out we're a business family?"

"They probably know. They bought the house a while ago, and servants came to clean it a few days ago, so they must have inquired about us."

Wu Yiming: "That's strange. They said they came from a scholarly family, so why weren't they scared away?"

The maids who served Wu Yiming for a long time knew that Wu Yiming was a good mistress who treated her servants well, so they would sometimes make jokes with her.

"What you're saying, Master, is to condemn all scholars. You're not some monster or anything, so why would they be scared away by you?"

Wu Yiming said with a smile, "That's not necessarily true. In some people's eyes, what your master did is considered outrageous."

The maidservant naturally knew that Wu Yiming was a woman; serving her, it was impossible for her not to know such a thing.

“Master is capable, and people are just envious and jealous of you. Why should you take it to heart?”

Wu Yiming nodded, then planned to go out. Staying at home wouldn't mean her husband would fall from the sky for no reason. She would rather find a reliable person to inquire about him. She didn't have any other requirements, but his appearance couldn't be too bad, as that would be unsightly. He could be incompetent, but his character couldn't be bad. Of course, he absolutely couldn't be pedantic.

When necessary, appearance can be relaxed, but other aspects can also be relaxed a bit.

"Master, where are we going now?"

Wu Yiming didn't say, and neither did her little maid.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Yiming said, "Shall we go find a matchmaker?"

These words startled the little maid. Why did her mistress suddenly decide to go find a matchmaker?

"Whom is Master arranging a marriage for?"

Although the young maid knew that her mistress was a woman, she hadn't yet considered the possibility that her mistress would arrange a marriage for her herself.
