Chapter 172 What do you think of my reputation?
The one who came this time was the matchmaker, a fat woman in her forties.
The last time Ye Yong and Xiu Xiu got married, she was the one they looked for for the engagement and wedding.
"Please sit down." Old Mrs. Ye brought tea with a smile.
Matchmaker Hua looked at the yard and praised it: "This is my first time here. Everyone says that Sister Ye is very capable, but I thought it was exaggerated. Now I see that the rumors are true!"
Old Mrs. Ye smiled brightly at the compliment.
Old Mrs. Ye knew that the matchmaker came for Ye Caiping, otherwise she would have gone directly to Mrs. Du or Mrs. Wei.
Although I know that my daughter is not interested in getting married, it is not easy to chase away the matchmaker when she comes to my house.
She still has several grandchildren who are yet to be married off.
The matchmaker said, "Aunt, let me tell you, I have a good family for Miss Caiping."
Old Lady Ye waved her hand: "It's no use telling me about this, she has to nod herself. Oh, she's back."
Old Mrs. Ye heard the sound of an ox cart.
After a while, Ye Caiping and Ye Daquan came in from the side door and went straight to the inner hall.
"Mom, the matchmaker is here too." Ye Caiping sat down leisurely beside Old Lady Ye.
The matchmaker looked at Ye Caiping and couldn't help but smile:
"Big sister, you look more and more beautiful the more I look at you. When she was a girl, she was a beauty in the whole area. When I saw her a few years ago, she looked a little haggard, but today I see that she has regained her beauty."
"Now she has changed her clothes and has good skin. Other people look like they are in their thirties, but she looks like she is in her early twenties."
Old Mrs. Ye and Ye Daquan looked very proud.
Ye Daquan said: "There is no ugly person in our Ye family. My little sister is the prettiest one in the family."
This is the truth. After being fed with good food and good nutrition for more than half a year, their complexions have improved. Even the brothers Ye Daquan have become handsome, not to mention the younger ones Ye Xuan and Jinhua.
Mrs. Du said, "The matchmaker came today to propose marriage to my younger sister, right?"
The matchmaker glanced at Ye Caiping and saw that she was calmly eating melon seeds, so she didn't care and spoke directly:
"Yes, yes. It's time for the girl to find a man to take care of the family."
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "What kind of family do you think it is?"
The matchmaker became even more excited: "He's a scholar from Daliaozhuang. He's 27 years old, a few years younger than you. As the saying goes, a woman three years older than a man will bring gold bricks. Hahahaha, it's a good match."
Ye Caiping: "Twenty-seven years old, and still unmarried?"
"He's been married once, sister, aren't you the same? His last wife died of illness four or five years ago, leaving behind a son and a daughter. They're only eight or nine years old. They're young, so nothing can happen to them."
"Now, he is already a virgin. Once you marry him, you will be a ready-made scholar's wife!"
Ye Caiping nodded: "Oh, I understand, he wants to be a gigolo."
The matchmaker said, "No, no, no, that's not the case. He wants to find a good wife who understands him and spend the rest of his life with him."
Ye Caiping chuckled, "His wife has been gone for four or five years. Why did he think of looking for one now? There are so many beautiful women in this area, and there are also many unmarried ones. After all, he is a virgin, so it's not a bad idea to find an unmarried one."
The matchmaker choked, thought for a while, and then smiled and said, "Isn't this because I like you? I think you are good."
"I'm good? What does he like about me? I don't know him and I've never met him. What does he like about me?"
"You are good... Everyone knows that. You are smart and capable."
"So what I just said is not wrong. I have the ability and can make money. He just wants to live off me, right?"
The matchmaker almost fainted: "No, no, that's not what I meant. It's not because you have abilities, but because you are good-looking!"
Ye Caiping nodded: "So you are just after sex?"
Matchmaker: "..."
Ye Caiping: "Matchmaker, why are you silent? Does he want to be with you and live off you?"
The matchmaker smiled with difficulty, saying that if someone liked her because she had the ability, then that meant he wanted to be her gigolo! He said he was attracted by her looks and that he was attracted by her beauty.
After thinking for a long time, the matchmaker forced a smile again: "No. Now everyone in Dashu Town knows your name. He thinks you have a good reputation!"
Ye Caiping covered her mouth in surprise: "Ah, is he attracted by my good reputation of beating my mother-in-law?"
Matchmaker: "..."
The matchmaker held back for a long time before she said, "Girl, if you keep chatting like this, you'll easily lose friends."
Ye Caiping laughed: "Matchmaker, if you continue to match people like this, you will easily lose business."
Seeing Ye Caiping's half-smile, the matchmaker's fat face turned red.
Having been a matchmaker for so many years, she knew exactly what Liu Tongsheng was trying to do.
But she felt that Ye Caiping just liked the kind of handsome scholar like Li Zhiyuan, so she gave it a try.
Ye Daquan slammed the table in anger and stood up, "Look at what you introduced! There are so many girls in this town, who would choose my little sister? Is my little sister familiar with him?"
"This is something I've never seen before. If she really wanted to find someone who would understand her feelings, she would have done it long ago. She has dragged it on until now, just to find a rich man to live with her and support his family. What's wrong? Does my little sister look like a big loser?"
Du: "What is a big enemy?"
Ye Daquan: "Don't interrupt, I'm cursing! I hate this kind of mean scholar the most. It's not enough to raise Li Zhiyuan, why do you want a second one? Pah!"
The matchmaker was spat on and stood up hastily: "Sorry, sorry, so you don't like scholars... Well, since it's not suitable, I'll go back first."
After saying that, he walked away dejectedly.
Ye Daquan was so angry that he put his hands on his hips and continued to curse: "My little sister will never marry a scholar again. None of those scholars are good, they are all beasts with wolves' hearts and dogs' lungs!"
"Stop!" Mrs. Du pulled him, "Isn't your son also a scholar? You scolded him too."
"Xuan'er is different. Other scholars are beasts."
Old Mrs. Ye leaned back in her chair in a bad mood: "I thought this matchmaker was a good person..."
Ye Caiping said: "For money, there is nothing I won't do."
Old Lady Ye sighed softly, "Speaking of which, the matchmaker Huang is more reliable. Although she introduced you to a butcher the first time, you had a bad reputation at that time. No matter who the other person is, she will say good or bad things about him."
Yang Xiaoyan came in with tea: "Didn't you say that my second cousin would go home at noon? Uncle and aunt, you both went home first, so how could he come back at noon?"
Ye Daquan said: "After school, he would wait at the ox cart. If he happened to see Erquan delivering goods, he would go back with him. If he didn't see him, he would take another ox cart back."
Ye Caiping looked at Yang Xiaoyan: "By the way, the day after tomorrow I plan to send Jin'er and others to Master Shen to learn something, Xiaoyan, do you want to go with us?"
Yang Xiaoyan was startled: "What are you learning?"
"There is no need to pay for music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and interpersonal relationships."
Yang Xiaoyan shook her head: "It's useless for me to learn this. I'd better stay here and help my great-grandmother!"
She didn't understand what the animal was saying, and now she just wanted to save more money so that when her mother left the Yang family in the future, she and her mother would have a good future.
