Chapter 205 Yang Qingqing's Blind Date
Chen's Tavern was relatively quiet, and there were few diners in the morning. Su Wan dressed low-key and entered the tavern with a veil covering her face.
But Yang Qingqing recognized her at a glance, and she felt relieved after she came in. The matchmaker had been speaking for the man, but the man was too rude. The woman had already arrived, but he was late and had not yet arrived.
There was an empty table next to Yang Qingqing, so Su Wan sat down there, ordered a pot of tea and some snacks.
About a cup of tea later, the man finally arrived. His surname was Meng. His family owned a wonton shop in the snack street in the south of the city. It was an old shop. The family also owned property and had a stable source of income. Yesterday, Yang Qingqing told him his information in detail.
He is twenty years old this year and is a student. He did not pass the examination for the scholar this year and is still studying in the academy in the provincial capital. The provincial capital belongs to the city and there is more than one academy. Some are for aristocrats, some are for ordinary people, and some are stuck in between. This Mr. Meng is the one stuck in the middle.
He looks okay, but his face looks a bit like the scheming type. You can tell from the fact that he was deliberately late today that he wanted to show off his power and suppress the girl before they even decided on anything.
After he sat down, he first introduced himself politely. His etiquette was standard, but in that one night, he had already looked Yang Qingqing up and down. His eyes were too explicit and seemed a bit frivolous.
Yang Qingqing is also a fair and clean beauty. She is seventeen years old this year. She has grown up completely, is graceful and elegant, and is graceful and elegant. Influenced by the Su family, her uncle also sent her to school for a few years despite the pressure. The temperament of an educated person is different, and it can be clearly seen.
The man's name is Meng Lin, which sounds like a name a scholar would come up with. It can be seen that he is quite satisfied with Yang Qingqing.
However, cousin Qingqing's reaction was indifferent, so she probably didn't feel anything.
The matchmaker started to make efforts again. In fact, she picked many families for the Yang family to see, but finally only selected a few families, all of which had two similar characteristics: scholars and only children.
My uncle believes that scholars are respectful and not rude. An only son does not have to deal with the relationship with sisters-in-law, so there will be no problem of favoritism in the in-laws' family. After all, there is only one son and daughter-in-law. Although there are inevitable frictions in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, these are all things that women must overcome and learn how to get along with others. Unless the other party has no mother, there is no need to worry.
"Miss Yang, I've only had a cursory understanding of both families. I'll also tell you about my family in detail. My ancestral home is in Xiangzhou. Our ancestors were all scholars, and the women in our family are all literate. You've also been educated. I heard from the matchmaker that my family owns two houses. We've run some small businesses over the years, saving a small fortune, so we won't have to worry about money in the future. I heard that Miss Yang is originally from Qingyuan and moved to Xiangzhou this year. You have a younger brother and no real estate, but you and the Su family of Yuyan Hall are cousins, right?"
Yang Qingqing just nodded without saying anything. Meng Lin thought she was shy and smiled knowingly.
However, there was something in the tone of his voice that could not be ignored, a feeling of being superior to you, which made Yang Qingqing very uncomfortable.
Moreover, Meng Lin emphasized from the beginning that his family has always been city dwellers and a family of scholars. He even compared his family's property with that of the Yang family who had just arrived in Xiangzhou. Finally, he mentioned Yuyan Hall. Presumably, if it weren't for this relationship, he probably wouldn't look down on Yang Qingqing and would not agree to this blind date.
"I also heard that you are working in Yuyan Hall now. I wonder what you are doing?"
Speaking of this, Yang Qingqing raised her head and said proudly:
"My father is currently the manager of the Yuyantang workshop. My cousin intends for me to become the shopkeeper in the future. I'm currently learning. Our family has only been in Xiangzhou for less than a year, so we haven't purchased any property yet, but we will soon."
This was the confidence his family had given him. Hadn't he previously been so proud of his family's wealth? A wonton shop might not earn as much in ten years as Yu Yan Tang did in a month.
If she were in charge, her monthly salary would definitely be high, and it would be a lucrative job. If Yang Qingqing married into their family in the future, they would also be able to marry into the Yuyan family.
But Yang Qingqing did not have a good impression of Meng Lin, thinking he was too self-righteous. However, Meng Lin was very satisfied with her because she was beautiful and had a good background, which could help him in the future.
In the subsequent conversation, Yang Qingqing's response was indifferent, which made Meng Lin a little panicked.
"I had a very pleasant conversation with Miss Yang today. I feel that our personalities are very compatible. This is a sachet embroidered by my mother. Please don't dislike it, young lady."
There are also some rules for this sachet, especially for men and women who are attracted to each other. When they meet for the first time, the man will prepare a sachet. If the man likes the woman, he will give it to her. If not, he will not give it to her.
Now, Meng Lin’s meaning is very clear.
Yang Qingqing smiled at him politely, and Meng Lin began to arrange the next meeting. If the woman went, she would greet the matchmaker, and the matchmaker would convey it, which proved that the woman was very satisfied with the marriage.
On the contrary, if you are not satisfied, there is no need to see you again.
Yang Qingqing was the latter. After Meng Lin left, Yang Qingqing also sent away the matchmaker who was still chattering.
Su Wan then stood up and walked over to her, took off her face scarf and said with a smile:
"Is cousin Qingqing satisfied?"
Yang Qingqing looked at her with resentment:
"Do you think I'm satisfied with this?"
"Tell me why you are dissatisfied." Su Wan wanted to see what she thought.
"Meng Lin thinks highly of himself and always feels superior to me. What I want is a husband who respects me, not someone who always thinks I am inferior to him and unworthy of him in our daily interactions. If I hadn't moved out of Yuyan Hall, he would probably look down on me even more.
I don't want to marry into their family in the future and have him look down on me every day, as if I'm marrying above my station. I'd rather marry someone of lower status, at least I can be praised."
Yang Qingqing is not a love-brained person. She lives a fresh life and knows what she wants. Isn’t that good?
"You're so opinionated, yet you still ask me to check for you. Next time, you can handle it yourself. Just tell me when you come back, and I'll analyze it for you then."
Yang Qingqing nodded. Her cousin was very busy and was someone who did great things. She would definitely not be hindered by such things like her.
But now that I’m at that age, I have to get married, otherwise people will gossip about me.
Later, Yang Qingqing asked the matchmaker to reject Meng Lin's invitation and asked her to return the sachet. The matchmaker was puzzled. Wasn't Meng Lin's condition good enough?
Yang Qingqing said, if you know that they are not suitable but still try to get along, there will only be one more resentful couple in this world.
The matchmaker has been in this business for a long time, so she naturally knows that it is not easy to arrange a marriage, so she tries to arrange the next one.
