Su Qingluan came back from "Su Ji" that day. The closer she got to the entrance of Huaxi Village, the more people turned around to look at her.
At first, there were only one or two people, but later, more and more people came. Su Qingluan's heart moved, and she had a plan in mind, and she walked quickly back to her home.
In fact, today, father and mother suddenly said that they had an appointment with someone, and neither of them went to the tailor shop. Su Qingluan had a premonition, and when she entered the house, she saw a woman sitting in the main hall of the front room. She was not a stranger, but Su Qingluan knew her.
After all, Su Qingluan had never seen her before, but she had heard many "rumors" about her - this person was none other than Wang the matchmaker that every household in the village with men and women of marriageable age would often mention.
If we say that Wang is qualified to be a matchmaker, at least she has an advantage in terms of appearance - she has fair skin, a face like a full moon, and a plump figure, which looks very festive.
Seeing Su Qingluan coming in, she immediately stood up and went to greet her, but her gaze turned towards Su Guangfu and Yang, and she said with a smile: "Oh my, this is your eldest daughter, right? She has such beautiful eyebrows and eyes. If you don't know her, you would think she is a fairy who has come down to earth!"
As he said this, he was about to hold Su Qingluan's arm.
Faced with this social bull, no, it should be called "social phobia" - a social terrorist, Su Qingluan immediately and involuntarily launched a full defense mode and put on a fake smile: "Hello."
Even though she had never seen him before, Su Qingluan was sure that the person in front of her was the legendary "Matchmaker Wang". His nickname was "Nieheishan", which meant that even if two people were like two mountains far apart, this matchmaker could bring them together with just a word.
Su Qingluan had heard about this person's "skills" more than once before. In a nutshell, he could make black into white and the dead into alive.
For example, now, Su Qingluan was supported by the arm by Wang the matchmaker - to be more precise, she was forced to sit aside, listening on her toes as Wang the matchmaker praised Mu Xingzhi as a rare and good husband, and what a good marriage it would be if she married him.
To be honest, if Su Qingluan followed what Wang the matchmaker said completely, she would not be able to associate him with Mu Xingzhi at all - no, it should be said that she could not associate him with any actual person.
Only a capital-Jack Sue with an old-fashioned taste can meet such an exaggerated description.
Things like "orchid, jade tree, dragon's figure, phoenix's beauty, unique and beautiful"... Su Qingluan really felt that Wang the matchmaker had spent all her energy on memorizing these words and phrases to describe how outstanding a person was.
Su Qingluan admitted that Mu Xingzhi had an extraordinary temperament, but the idea of "it's said that auspicious clouds gathered on the day of his birth, which was an auspicious sign at first glance" was a bit too much! How come matchmakers these days actually also perform shaman dances part-time?
Who was this woman, described by Matchmaker Wang as "a woman of refined character, a beautiful woman, and a clever mind?" Su Qingluan felt that she wasn't talking about her.
Fortunately, Su Qingluan and Mu Xingzhi finalized this marriage on their own, which was a case of "acting first and reporting later" in a sense. Otherwise, this would be considered a fraud, right?
Su Qingluan could simply imagine that other young men and women who had never met each other were matched together by the matchmaker Wang from "Niehe Mountain". As a result, when the veil of the bride and groom was lifted on the wedding night and they looked at each other, the romantic love movie turned into a suspenseful or even thriller scene.
Fortunately, Mu Xingzhi and Su Qingluan were considered "famous figures" in Huaxi Village, and everyone knew their respective strengths and weaknesses. So after Matchmaker Wang left, although Su Guangfu and Yang were full of questions, they were more happy than surprised.
"That's good," Yang said, holding Su Qingluan's hand. "I saw you running to Mr. Mu all day long, and I was worried that your heart and eyes would be so full of that man that you'd end up getting hurt. Now that he's willing to propose to you, we can rest assured."
Su Guangfu also nodded and sighed with some relief: "Although our family is not rich, at least we have enough money for medical treatment. Although Mr. Mu seems to be in poor health, he is a good person. As for his health, as long as it does not affect his ability to have children, we still have the money to hire someone to take care of him. At worst, he can take some medicine to recuperate..."
"Dad! Mom!" Su Qingluan was a little upset. Why did they suddenly talk about having children? Was it really appropriate to suddenly drive on the highway?
Su Guangfu and Yang looked at Su Qingluan and thought she was shy, but Su Qingluan simply felt that it was broad daylight, in front of the opposite sex - although this "opposite sex" was her biological father, it was really strange to talk about this!
Although Su Guangfu and Yang felt that Su Qingluan was "secretly in love" with Mu Xingzhi, Su Qingluan had no intention of clarifying this misunderstanding - in this case, this "misunderstanding" would be more conducive to the smooth progress of this marriage. After all, although Yang and Mu Xingzhi seemed to have good things to say about Mu Xingzhi, the "future son-in-law", Su Qingluan knew that they were not actually satisfied.
It's a simple question. Mr. Mu, despite being frail, still tries his best to help villagers in need, making him a truly admirable and kind person. However, if Mu Xingzhi were placed in the position of a "son-in-law," his frail health wouldn't be something to be admired, but rather something to be worried about.
After all, when a family marries off their daughter, they hope the man will love her and protect her from the elements. However, Mu Xingzhi's frail appearance, his constant need to "recuperate" at home, made Yang and Su Guangfu think that, far from being able to protect their daughter, he might actually need their daughter to protect him.
However, Su Guangfu and Yang Shi never showed any dissatisfaction with this in front of Su Qingluan. These two were truly unprepossessing, and their concerns were clearly visible on their faces. While they wouldn't say it, Su Qingluan wasn't stupid. Even Su Xuanhe sensed that his father and mother seemed troubled and asked them why they were unhappy.
Su Qingluan knew in her heart why her parents were worried, but she could only silently apologize to Yang and Su Guangfu, and continue to play the role of a love-sick person who was deeply addicted and hopeless. As usual, she would run to Mu Xingzhi whenever she had something to do - and she ran there more frequently.
...Although the main reason she did this was to pressure Mu Xingzhi to quickly design the design samples for the new series. After all, the delivery was less than ten days away, and the outer packaging was only a sketch.
However, in the eyes of Yang and Su Guangfu, this basically proves that "it's so hard to get a heart reciprocated, and the feelings can no longer be hidden."
Fortunately, as Su Qingluan had anticipated, because her love-sickness was so obvious, Su Guangfu and Yang, despite their various concerns, never expressed them to her. Furthermore, the two, especially Yang, constantly praised Mu Xingzhi's various virtues.
For example, Mu Xingzhi's parents were both deceased. Although it might seem unfilial to say so, she didn't have to endure her mother-in-law's anger. For example, although Mu Xingzhi was frail, it was precisely because of this that she didn't have to worry about him getting angry and fighting with Su Qingluan. For another example, although he wasn't an official, he had a reputation and didn't have to worry about being drafted into the army...
Su Qingluan listened to her mother's words of comfort while silently covering her face: Mother, I'm so sorry, I made you worry for nothing...
