Alyssa is an American girl, 23 years old, 1.71 meters tall, with an enviable figure and appearance. She currently lives in Shanghai, China, and is a talent anchor.
Ever since her first trip to China three years ago, Alyssa has been completely captivated by China's long history and culture, as well as the various delicacies that she could eat for a whole year without repeating.
In addition, China is recognized as one of the safest countries in the world, and its development in recent years has attracted worldwide attention. So after much consideration, Alyssa made a very important decision.
She wants to stay in China, she wants to stay in this great country with 5,000 years of civilization.
Alyssa would do what she decided to do as soon as possible. After returning from her trip to China, she persuaded her parents, used her connections to get a work visa, and officially started her life in China.
Three years later, through continuous learning, Alyssa has become an expert on China and a talented anchor on a short video platform with great influence.
It is not uncommon for foreigners to be anchors in China. Alyssa took advantage of her good figure and good looks. In addition, she has talents in singing, dancing, languages, humor, and she truly loves Chinese culture and food. Naturally, she quickly stood out from the crowd of foreign anchors and became a big anchor with millions of fans.
Today, her career is flourishing and Alyssa feels extremely comfortable living in China. Her biggest wish now is to get a Chinese green card and have the right to permanent residence in China.
Unfortunately, the Chinese green card is one of the most difficult green cards to obtain in the world.
The only way for Alyssa to get a Chinese green card is to marry a Chinese man and live with him for more than five years. Only then will she have a chance to get the Chinese green card she has always dreamed of.
Alyssa was not opposed to marrying a Chinese man. After three years of getting to know him, she knew that Chinese men were famous for being good to their wives, and that marrying a Chinese man should bring her happiness.
Of course, Chinese men are like stocks in a bull market. Although most of them rise, some fall. Whether you can pick the rising stocks depends on your vision.
Therefore, even though Alyssa really wants to get a Chinese green card as soon as possible, for the sake of her future happiness, she still has to choose carefully and must find someone who satisfies her before choosing to marry him.
As an American girl with a good figure and good looks, Alyssa naturally has no shortage of suitors around her. Among these suitors, some are foreigners from all over the world, and some are Chinese men.
Among these many suitors, there are naturally some men with very good conditions, but Alyssa has no feelings for them, so no one has been able to win her heart so far.
Seeing that her visa was about to expire again, Alyssa, who was feeling a little irritated, suddenly had an idea in her mind. Why not listen to the advice of her fans and go find the famous Master Jiang to act as a matchmaker?
Speaking of Master Jiang, Alyssa has heard of his name for a long time. Since Master Jiang first appeared on the hot search on Weibo at the end of last year, she, as a host, has noticed this master matchmaker.
This year, Master Jiang has been on the headlines of hot search lists several times and has become an Internet celebrity with tens of millions of fans. At that time, fans often left her messages and recommended her to find Master Jiang as a matchmaker.
She was also somewhat tempted at that time, but there happened to be a man with very good conditions pursuing her, so she did not rush to find Master Jiang, but wanted to observe the man who was pursuing her first.
The result was obvious. The man with good conditions did not pass her inspection.
Therefore, the idea of asking Master Jiang to act as a matchmaker came to my mind again.
Alyssa is the kind of woman with great action ability. After thinking it through, she immediately took action and boarded a plane to the provincial capital of Guangxi Province the next day.
…
The West School of Imperial River.
After eating the delicious breakfast prepared by their nanny Lu Yao, Jiang Feng, Huang Lingwei and Jiang Xue drove to the matchmaking agency to work.
Jiang Xue drove her Maserati and Jiang Feng drove his Volvo XC90.
Huang Lingwei, naturally, is with Jiang Feng.
On the way, Jiang Feng said, "Wife, when my parents come back from this trip, we will arrange for the parents of the two families to meet and discuss our marriage. What do you think?"
Huang Lingwei glanced at him and smiled: "I thought you had forgotten about this!"
Jiang Feng laughed and said, "Look at what you said. How could I forget such an important event? If I didn't want to get ahead of my sister, I would have married you this National Day."
Huang Lingwei waved her hand and said, "I'm not in such a hurry. My eldest brother is getting married on May 1st, and my sister is getting married on National Day. If we also choose to get married this year, then all three of you brothers and sisters will get married in the same year."
"Let alone getting married in the same year, even getting married on the same day wouldn't be a big deal."
As Jiang Feng drove, he said, "Marriage in this era can be said to be very casual. The rules and regulations of ancient marriages are no longer in place."
Huang Lingwei nodded and said, "Marriage is indeed not that particular nowadays. In the past, when a daughter and son got married in the same year, they would usually marry first and then marry the other.
Because "marrying" means taking away the wealth and happiness of the family, while "marrying" means bringing wealth and happiness in. If you marry first and then marry, it means taking away all the wealth and happiness you just brought into the family, which is very unlucky.
So, if the older brother marries first, the older sister will have to wait three years before getting married.”
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "In fact, we have similar sayings here, but few people follow them now. Unless it is a marriage between a brother and a sister, they will practice the marriage first and then the marriage. Generally, if there is a gap of more than a few months like my brother and sister, it is not so important.
If we really follow the ancient rules that brothers and sisters cannot get married in the same year, this is called "happy conflict", then if it's one year per year, we will have to wait until the year after next to get married at the earliest."
Huang Lingwei patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, I was born in modern times. My mother told me that my grandmother's generation still had people crying at weddings. And it wasn't just one or two days of crying, it had to last for more than ten days straight. Just thinking about it makes me feel overwhelmed."
Jiang Feng hummed and said, "I've heard from my grandmother that there is a saying in our place that we should cry for three days, six days, nine days, and twelve days.
After the exchange of letters, the girl would wake up and cry every morning. It was said that there were rules for crying, and usually someone would lead the crying. The shortest crying period was three days, and the longest was twelve days. The scene would reach its climax on the day of her wedding.
Even, I would sing while crying.
Unfortunately, I only heard about it and never got to see it.”
Huang Lingwei smiled and said, "Fortunately, the custom of crying at weddings has been abolished in most areas now, otherwise you, the matchmaker, would probably be scolded every day, because there is a custom of cursing the matchmaker during crying at weddings."
Jiang Feng laughed and said, "Yes, fortunately the custom of crying at weddings has been abolished, otherwise I would be cursed every day and I would probably not be interested in matchmaking anymore."
Having said that, the two of them smiled at each other in tacit understanding.
After arriving at the matchmaking agency, the two went into their respective offices and started working.
…
It was almost noon when Alyssa arrived at the provincial capital of Guangxi Province.
She was not in a hurry to go to the matchmaking agency to meet Master Jiang, but first took a taxi to a very famous noodle shop and tasted a bowl of Laoyou noodles, one of the three major noodles in Guangxi Province.
One of the important reasons why Alyssa likes China so much is the diverse food. As a real foodie, she has tasted too many Chinese foods in the past three years. Except for a few foods that do not suit her taste, she can't stop eating most of them.
China is worthy of being the top of the world's three major culinary countries. Any one of the eight major cuisines can beat the United States.
Laoyoufen is a delicacy unique to the provincial capital of Guangxi Province. Alyssa had heard of it two years ago. Her fans all know that she is a foodie, so some fans introduced this delicacy to her a long time ago.
However, Alyssa has never been to Guangxi Province in the past three years, so she has naturally not had the opportunity to taste this delicacy.
Until today, she finally tasted the sour and spicy appetizing Laoyou noodles. After finishing this bowl of noodles, Alyssa couldn't help but sigh inwardly that it was worthy of being one of the three major noodles in Guangxi Province, and it really lived up to its reputation.
Alyssa was in a good mood after tasting the delicious food, and then she went straight to the high-end shopping mall to buy gifts such as cigarettes, alcohol and tea.
As an expert on China, Alyssa knew about matchmaking gifts and even the red envelopes. After buying the gifts, she even found someone to exchange them for 800 yuan in cash.
After putting the cash into a red envelope and then stuffing it into her bag, Alyssa took a taxi and went straight to the Happy Marriage Agency.
When we arrived at the Happy Marriage Agency, it was already 2:15 in the afternoon.
Entering the matchmaking agency, Alyssa instantly became the focus of everyone’s attention.
After all, it was quite rare for a foreigner to enter a matchmaking agency, and it was hard not to attract attention when she was such a young and beautiful female foreigner.
Jiang Xue happened to be in the reception hall, so she came up to greet her personally, "Ma'am, good afternoon, welcome!"
Alyssa held cigarettes, alcohol and tea in her left hand, a large bag of fruit in her right hand, and a bag on her left shoulder. She smiled sweetly and said, “Good afternoon, beautiful lady. Is Master Jiang here?”
"Yes, please follow me."
"OK, thanks!"
"You're welcome. You speak Mandarin very well. Excuse me, are you here to seek marriage?"
"Yes, I have heard of Master Jiang's great name for a long time. This time I came to visit him just to ask him to help me act as a matchmaker."
Jiang Xue felt excited after getting Alyssa's affirmative answer. After all, this was the first time a foreigner came to their matchmaking agency to seek marriage since its opening. This was a milestone.
Soon, Jiang Xue brought Alyssa to Jiang Feng's office and knocked on the door. After hearing Jiang Feng call for "Come in", Jiang Xue brought Alyssa in.
"Xiao Feng, this lady is here to find you for a matchmaking gig." Jiang Xue introduced.
Jiang Feng quickly stood up and greeted, "Good afternoon, beautiful lady!"
"Master Jiang, good afternoon!"
After saying hello, Alyssa handed over the cigarettes, alcohol, tea, and fruit in her hand, and said with a smile: "It's just a small gift, Master Jiang, please accept it."
Jiang Feng took the gift and said with a smile: "You are so polite, please take a seat."
“Thank you!” Alyssa thanked him and sat down at the desk.
"Please have some tea!" Jiang Xue made a cup of tea and came over.
"Thank you!" Alyssa thanked her again.
After Jiang Xue left, Alyssa introduced herself: "Master Jiang, my name is Alyssa, I'm from the United States, and I've lived in Shanghai, China for three years. I really like Chinese culture and Chinese food. I'm now a talent anchor on the XX short video platform, with nearly six million fans. This time I came here specifically to ask Master Jiang to help me be a matchmaker."
Jiang Feng nodded and asked, “Alyssa, what kind of partner do you want to find?”
Alyssa said frankly: "I want to find a gentle, considerate, healthy, handsome, humorous and witty Chinese man, preferably between 22 and 35 years old, not shorter than me, and preferably no taller than 1.9 meters."
Jiang Feng looked at her and said, “Alyssa, I want to ask you if you plan to develop in China for a long time in the future, or return to your homeland after getting married?”
Alyssa said: “Of course I want to develop in China for a long time. When I meet the requirements, I am also going to join the Chinese nationality!”
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "That's no problem. Alyssa, you have a good figure and good looks. It must not be difficult for you to find an excellent partner. Tell me about your situation in detail, and I will match you with the most suitable partner based on your situation."
Alyssa smiled and said, "Master Jiang, I feel relieved. If you need to know anything, just ask me directly. I promise to tell you everything I know."
Jiang Feng smiled and nodded, then asked, "Then tell me about your love history first. Have you ever been in love?"
Alyssa shook her head and said, “No, I haven’t. Before coming to China, I was busy studying and never thought about relationships. In the three years since I came to China, I have wanted to fall in love, but unfortunately I haven’t met the right person.”
Jiang Feng hummed, and then asked: "Can you tell me about your family background?"
Alyssa took a sip of tea and smiled: “Of course, I was born in an ordinary family. My father is a scholar and my mother is an ordinary company employee.”
"What are your hobbies?"
"I like Chinese classical culture. The United States has only a history of more than 200 years, while China has a splendid civilization of 5,000 years. This is really shocking.
I also like Chinese food, including the eight major cuisines. Each cuisine can beat more than 90% of the countries in the world. In addition to the eight major cuisines, there are also some special foods from each region. I feel that I will never be able to taste all the Chinese food in my entire life.
I also sing and dance, and learn different Chinese dialects. Now I not only speak Mandarin, but also Northeastern dialect and Sichuan dialect!"
"Your character..."
“…”
The two asked and answered each other, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Feng felt that he had understood almost everything, so he smiled and said, "Alyssa, thank you for your cooperation. I have almost understood your situation. Next, I will help you find an excellent partner."
"Thank you, Master Jiang. I'll wait and see."
At this point, Alyssa took out the red envelope she had prepared from her bag, handed it to Jiang Feng with both hands and said, "I have learned about Chinese culture and know that you need to give a red envelope when you ask for a matchmaker. Master Jiang, please accept it."
Jiang Feng was really impressed when he saw this. This foreigner's understanding of Chinese culture and customs is really better than that of many Chinese people!
