Manager Liu left, and as expected, before he left he begged Han Yiyi to make a bunch of various kinds of dried meat, saying that he would eat it as dry food on the road.
Seeing Steward Liu stuffing bags of food onto the carriage, Yun Xiao rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. How come he didn't know this man had become such a glutton? So he couldn't help but say, "Alright, you've taken too much. It'll be a waste if we can't finish it on the way. Leave some for me." As he spoke, he actually reached out to take some.
Manager Liu: ...
Thinking to himself, "I won't waste it if you can have it," he quickly turned around and stood in front of the person reaching out, speaking with a smile on his face.
"Young master, you are now the tutor of two children. In the future, whatever you want to eat will be up to you. Don't let the children fight over this little bit of food..." After saying this, she flicked her whip and left quickly without waiting for Yun Xiao's reply.
Upon seeing this, Yun Xiao couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking to himself how stingy he was. It was just a little bit of dried meat, why did he have to be so stingy? But thinking of the taste of the dried meat, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Since Han Yi's family did not have any books for early learning, the group decided to go to town to buy some, as well as some writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, daily necessities, rice, flour, and cooking oil.
Because Yun Xiao was around, Han Yiyi was worried about the system being exposed, so she didn't dare to use it much on weekdays and had to go to town to buy many things.
Since they were going to town, the two little ones naturally had to be taken along. Yun Xiao, in particular, didn't need any care and had already taken the initiative to hitch up the mule cart.
As soon as the door opened, a large red flower suddenly appeared in front of her, startling Han Yiyi. When she saw that it was Qing the matchmaker, Han Yiyi frowned, wondering what she was doing at her house. But before she could ask, she heard her say in a high-pitched voice.
"Oh dear, I hadn't even knocked yet when Madam Han opened the door. It seems we really are destined to meet..."
Hearing this matchmaker, who was so old, speaking in such a high-pitched voice, Han Yiyi couldn't help but get goosebumps and quickly asked.
"Aunt Qing, is something the matter...?"
"Oh dear, I've come here today to congratulate you, my wife..." As she spoke, she took advantage of Han Yiyi's inattention and squeezed into the courtyard. At this moment, Han Yiyi saw that there was someone following behind her. It was none other than Qingyu. However, she was dressed very elegantly and beautifully today, giving off a girl-next-door vibe.
Seeing Qingyu's attire, Han Yiyi guessed that the two of them were probably after Yun Xiao. She glanced at Yun Xiao not far away, and a hint of schadenfreude flashed in her eyes.
When Qingyu and the matchmaker entered the courtyard, their eyes were filled with surprise, which quickly turned into secret joy. They thought to themselves, if this Lady Han became a member of the Qing family, then they could also live here.
At this moment, Qingyu seemed to have just noticed Yunxiao not far away. This time, she did not go forward directly. Instead, after glancing at him, she quickly lowered her head shyly and hid behind the matchmaker.
Upon seeing this, Han Yi raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself that they had changed their strategy.
When Yun Xiao saw the two of them again, his eyes were full of disgust.
Yun Xiao naturally noticed the hint of schadenfreude that flashed across Han Yi's eyes just now.
For some reason, seeing Han Yiyi's little look, Yun Xiao felt a surge of resentment, and his gaze towards the two of them became even more disgusted.
He gave the two of them a cold look before speaking to Han Yiyi.
"Alright, we should go now..."
Seeing that Yun Xiao had already put the two little ones onto the mule cart, Han Yiyi gave up her desire to watch the spectacle and turned to the matchmaker to speak.
“Aunt Qing, look, it’s getting late. We should go to town. What do you think…”
"Oh, you're going to town? Oh, what bad timing. But it's alright, we can go to town anytime. It's a rare good thing that I came to see Madam Han today..."
The matchmaker seemed not to understand the implication in Han Yiyi's words that she wanted to send them away. Not only did she not leave, she even stepped forward and grabbed Han Yiyi's arm, acting as if they were close sisters.
Han Yiyi was so overwhelmed by the cheap perfume smell emanating from the matchmaker that she felt dizzy. She quickly pulled her arm out of her hand, took a few steps back, and asked.
“Auntie, just say what you have to say. We have things to do in town…”
At this moment, Han Yiyi also felt that these two people had come here today not only for Yun Xiao, but also for other purposes.
The matchmaker, Qing, had intended to try and get closer to Han Yi, but he avoided her. However, she wasn't annoyed; her smile seemed even brighter as she spoke.
"I've come here today to discuss marriage for you two. Look at you, Madam Han, you're still so young. You certainly need someone who cares for you. Besides, it's not easy for you to raise two children alone. Having a man by your side would make things much easier."
“My younger brother, Qingyu’s father, is kind and loyal. He has been single for the past seven or eight years since Qingyu’s mother passed away, raising her alone as both father and mother. He is worried that the woman he marries will not treat him well. Now that Qingyu is grown up, he wants to find someone who cares about him. If you marry him, Madam Han, he will not only treat you well, but he will also take good care of your two children…”
Han Yi frowned upon hearing Qing the matchmaker's words. He hadn't expected her to be after him. And when he heard that the person Qing was introducing to him was the girl's father, he was shocked.
The original owner wasn't much older than Qingyu. This was like introducing herself to someone old enough to be her father. But before she could even say anything to kick her out, the matchmaker turned and headed towards Yunxiao.
Seeing this, Han Yiyi was no longer in a hurry to send them away. She wanted to see what these two were really planning to do today.
“Young Master Yun, I know you are a distinguished person from the capital. The capital is certainly not short of noble ladies, but the noble ladies in the capital are so cunning that you can't count them all. They are nothing like the simple and honest nature of us country girls. As the old saying goes, marry a virtuous wife. A good woman can bring prosperity to three generations. My niece has always been kind and gentle since she was a child. If you marry her, I guarantee that your family will be prosperous for generations to come…”
"roll……".
Before the matchmaker could finish speaking, Yun Xiao coldly uttered a single word.
When Yun Xiao heard the matchmaker say that she was arranging a marriage for the two of them, he was overjoyed, thinking that she was going to arrange a marriage for him and Han Yiyi.
But as she listened further, realizing that this old bastard actually wanted to marry Han Yiyi off to an old widower, her eyes turned cold.
