The next day, Qian Qiaoqiao's younger brother found Taozi and told him about his sister's wishes. Taozi was immediately very happy and took his future brother-in-law out to a restaurant.

Xichun also learned of this happy event and started making arrangements to find a matchmaker for Taozi. At the same time, she wrote to Aunt Zhang's family, asking them to come and preside over Taozi's wedding as soon as possible.

"This is a joyous occasion. Xichun, I'll assist you. You must help Taozi handle this marriage proposal properly. As for the rest, Taozi's parents will take care of it when they arrive. I'm afraid they've been looking forward to this day for a long time," said Madam Fu, holding her granddaughter and Xichun.

"Yes, they've been looking forward to this day for a long time. They'll be very happy to hear the news. Mother, thank you for your hard work."

“What’s so hard about it? Taozi has helped you a lot since he came here. He’s a quick learner, and even your dad says he’s a good businessman. The two of you get along well, and he can help you manage your business in the future, while also making connections.”

"Hehe, yes, if it weren't for their family, I'm afraid my business wouldn't have been so successful. Now that Taozi is here, he has helped us consolidate our relationship with the major families through business connections."

As they talked, they looked for a matchmaker to learn about the local customs. Since they were getting married in the area, it would be best to follow the local customs.

Taozi wasn't idle either. He had never considered buying a house here before. Sometimes he would rest in the front yard of Xichun's house, and sometimes he would stay in the shop, living in the rooms behind the shop with the other employees.

However, now that he was getting married, he naturally needed to have his own house. He didn't bother Xichun with this matter and started looking for one himself. Having been in business in Shaoming County for so long, he naturally knew many acquaintances, so in just two days, he settled on a two-courtyard house.

"Sister Xichun, I've already bought the house. I'm just waiting for you to help me find an auspicious day to move in. It will be my and Miss Qian's wedding home." Taozi told Xichun with a smile.

"You're quite quick. Don't worry, I'll handle these things for you. Just wait for Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang to arrive so they can arrange your wedding."

"Yes, my parents are on their way. They should arrive in about two weeks. Oh, and they also said that Aunt Wang and Xiaofeng are coming too. They must miss you since they haven't seen you in so long."

"It's good that you're here. We haven't been able to reunite with our families in a long time, so this is a good opportunity for us to see each other." Xichun nodded, also looking forward to their arrival.

A conspicuous matchmaker arrived at the Qian family's courtyard. She was the official matchmaker in the area, responsible for proposing marriages. As soon as she arrived, she praised Taozi and Miss Qian, making the whole family very happy. When the people around saw that the Qian family had indeed sent a matchmaker, they all wanted to see what was going on.

So after the matchmaker left, some busybodies climbed onto the Qian family's wall and asked, "Old Qian, is there some happy occasion in your family? I saw that the matchmaker came to propose marriage?"

"We have a happy occasion at home, so we'll let everyone know in a few days." Qian's mother didn't explain further. Not all of these people cared about her child; some were just there to watch the excitement, so she didn't want to say more.

"Tch, what's with the attitude? Did you somehow get involved with some big shot? You won't say another word."

"I think it's because Qian Qiaoqiao from their family has been proposed to. She's already this age, what kind of good family would come to propose to her? It's probably the kind of family with several children, and they're probably too embarrassed to say it out loud."

"I think so too. Next time I'll see what kind of good young man he is, that he would even be interested in her family."

When Mr. and Mrs. Qian heard these words, they were not as angry as before. Now that their daughter had really found a good family, they didn't care what others said. As long as their own life was good, that was enough. Let those people say whatever they wanted.

The couple looked at each other with smiles, no longer looking as worried as before.

Uncle Zhang's family, along with Wang Shi, Ma Dawei, and Xiaofeng, all came together, and Taozi personally went to the city gate to greet them.

"Hehe, our Taozi has finally made something of himself, he's getting married and starting a family. We can finally rest easy." Aunt Zhang couldn't help but sigh with emotion as she looked at Taozi.

"Mother, I'm not a child anymore. Come on, I'll take you to Sister Xichun's place. She's waiting for you at the door. Let's go quickly."

"Hmph, you know you're not young anymore. I thought you didn't. You're just making us worry."

The group chatted and laughed as they quickly arrived at the backyard of the county government office. Since they had to pass through the main gate, they lifted the curtains and looked at the tall and imposing county government office. They were a little apprehensive, but when they thought that the county magistrate here was Fu Changfeng, whom they knew, they were not so afraid anymore.

Xichun and the children greeted them at the door. Upon seeing them, they rushed forward to say hello.

Madam Fu and Old Master Fu were also waiting there and welcomed them inside.

"Uncle Ma, Mother, Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, you must be tired from your journey. I've already had someone prepare a meal. Let's wash our hands and eat first, then we can talk more."

“Alright, it’s been so many years since I’ve traveled far from home. At first, I wasn’t used to riding in a carriage and couldn’t eat much. It took me a few days to be able to eat properly. Now that we’re on land, I finally have a bit of an appetite.” Wang was a little carsick on the way here, but fortunately they were traveling light, so it wasn’t too tiring.

After the meal, Aunt Zhang couldn't wait to pull Xichun aside and ask her about Taozi's marriage and the girl's situation.

Old Master Fu took Uncle Ma and Uncle Zhang to the front yard to talk. With the men not there, it would be easier for Xichun to talk.

After hearing Xichun's description, Aunt Zhang nodded. Such a girl was hardworking and filial, a perfect match for their family. As for their poor family background, it wasn't a big problem for the Zhang family now.

"Hearing you say that, I feel relieved. The Qian family is a well-mannered family. Taozi was never in a hurry before, but I couldn't sleep at night. Now that he has found a girl he likes, the weight on my heart has finally been lifted."

"That's right. Which family with children isn't like this? Look at my eldest son, he hadn't gotten married yet, and his father and I were so anxious. Who knew that the matchmaking temple would bring about this good thing? We are still amazed. This is what fate brings."

"Yes, Aunt Zhang, you can finally rest assured now. You've been worrying to me that Taozi isn't perceptive enough. Now that he's brought you good news, you can focus on preparing for his marriage."

Madam Fu and Madam Wang's banter kept Aunt Zhang's face beaming with smiles.

The adults were chatting happily, and the children were not strangers either. Ah Zhao and Ah Zheng had often seen Uncle Xiao Feng before, so the three of them played together, and the house suddenly became much more lively.
