Chapter 99 The Matchmaker Arrives
He also grabbed Wang Xiaoqian's arm and tried to put Wang Xiaoqian's wrist into the doctor's hand.
The doctor's eyes twitched, and he complained inwardly, "What a tactless person."
Wang Xiaoqian was sleeping soundly. When he felt someone pulling his wrist, he impatiently shook it off. Zhou Qi was stunned.
“Heh~”
Zhou Yanxiu finally couldn't help but sneered for the first time today. Why did he abandon Zhou Hao in the capital and bring Zhou Qi, the big fool, to Dongping County?
In a corner where Zhou Yanxiu couldn't see, Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu were so embarrassed that their faces flushed red. They exchanged glances and thought, "If it weren't for that big fool Zhou Qi, their life in Dongping County would be so boring."
In the end, Zhou Qi was sent to guard the door for Wang Xiaoqian.
Zhou Yanxiu's original words were, "His health is so poor, so during his time in Dongping County, you will be responsible for taking care of his daily life and helping him out."
At this moment, Zhou Qi did not realize what the words "help out" meant. He was even a little happy that the adults let him go so easily this time.
Perhaps because he was tortured by the boat, Wang Xiaoqian slept for a whole day and night. When he woke up, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar place but was not panicked.
Thanks to having dealt with all kinds of corpses since childhood, Wang Xiaoqian is a very indifferent person, the kind of person who feels that life is good and death is also okay.
He remembered that he met someone from the Dongping County Court before he fell asleep. No matter how unreliable the other party was, they would not leave him on the dock to fend for himself.
Zhou Qi squatted at the door of Wang Xiaoqian, counting the ants passing by on the ground out of boredom, muttering to himself, "Could the person inside be a pig? He has already slept for a whole day and night and still needs to sleep."
Wang Xiaoqian rolled his eyes silently, and suddenly a voice from behind him said, "Take me to see the county magistrate."
Zhou Qi......
Wang Xiaoqian was a little nervous. He was so exhausted yesterday that he had forgotten about his job. Now, looking at the sky, he felt that he had gone too far. He hoped that the magistrate of Dongping County would be easy to talk to.
But if he really delayed the case in Dongping County, he would be committing a serious crime.
Zhou Yanxiu had indeed been waiting for Wang Xiaoqian, but his matter was not extremely urgent, so there was no reason for him to work while sick.
Wang Xiaoqian carried his small wooden box on his back, waiting for Zhou Yanxiu to give his instructions before returning to his own workshop, but he didn't expect to stay in Zhou Yanxiu's study for several hours.
Wang Xiaoqian held Zhou Yanxiu's notes as if they were a treasure, and his originally pale face flushed with excitement.
"Sir Zhou, where did you get this note? Could you please introduce it to me?" He had many questions to ask.
Cui Qingyi didn't know what happened in the county government office.
In the middle of the morning, an unexpected person came to the Cui family. Looking at the woman with a big black mole on the corner of her mouth, Cui Qingyi's mouth twitched silently.
What kind of industry standard is this? Does a matchmaker have to have a mole at the corner of her mouth? Even if she doesn’t have one, she has to stick one on?
To be honest, Cui Qingyi didn't want to let this person in. She had some opinions about the matchmaker profession and thought it was best not to get involved.
Granny Hua looked at the half-open door and quickly used her bright red embroidered shoes to hold it against the door panel. Her face was as bright as a morning glory. "Oh, Miss Cui, I'm here to tell you the good news. Please let me in."
Grandma Hua's name is well-known in Dongping County. She has made at least eighty matchmakers. People say she gave her the nickname "Gold Matchmaker", but whether it was given by everyone or she said it herself is still a mystery.
Cui Qingyi didn't know whether this matchmaker was good or not. She only knew that this old woman was very shameless. She squeezed herself in even though everyone saw that she didn't want anyone to come in.
In fact, those who can be matchmakers are not ordinary people. Not to mention that they can make the dead come alive, but they have good judgment in judging people.
Granny Hua naturally noticed how insincere the smile on Cui Qingyi's face was, but she pretended not to see it. Isn't that how matchmaking works? Some are willing and some are unwilling.
Nowadays, young ladies and young gentlemen are very proud and always picky about the men the matchmakers bring to them. But she has been a matchmaker for so many years and has her own experience.
She first looked Cui Qingyi and Konjac up and down, then smiled with satisfaction.
"Oh, people told me that Miss Cui from Huaihua Lane was as beautiful as a flower, but I didn't believe it. Now that I see her, I know I was ignorant.
Miss Cui is not only as beautiful as a flower, but even the fairies in the Moon Palace are no more beautiful than her.
Cui Qingyi: Haha...she knows her own weight.
After praising Cui Qingyi, Granny Hua looked at Konjac on the side and said, "This must be Miss Konjac, she's so pretty and looks like a blessed girl."
Konjac had never experienced such a scene before, and felt a little at a loss when Grandma Hua grabbed his hand and looked him up and down.
Cui Qingyi stepped forward, grabbed the konjac and hid it behind her. She realized that this man came for the konjac today.
She smiled wryly, "Grandma Hua, I'm sorry, but we have some things to do today. Please go back."
Cui Qingyi had some ideas about Konjac's marriage that she had not yet discussed with Konjac, but no matter what, she had to get Konjac's approval before she could proceed.
She felt that the matchmaker was very presumptuous, and she began to dislike the family who invited the matchmaker to their home.
Generally, respectable families would briefly inform the other party before inviting a matchmaker to their home, but they would not be so rash.
Grandma Hua flicked her handkerchief, and some low-quality perfume and powder rushed straight to Cui Qingyi, causing her to sneeze several times.
"Miss Cui, I know you two sisters are very close, but girls have to get married when they grow up.
"Listen carefully to what I have to say. The man is truly sincere and his family is wealthy. If Miss Konjac marries him, her life will be very good."
Cui Qingyi mentally tried to gather her luck, telling herself to stay calm and not offend anyone easily. "Oh, that's unfortunate. My parents just died last year, and according to tradition, we have to observe a three-year mourning period. I'm afraid Konjac, from such a good family, doesn't have that blessing."
Cui Qingyi said this without any burden, as Cui Jin and his wife had done evil things, so if she could protect them from this unprovoked disaster, it would be a good deed.
Granny Hua was stunned. She had never heard of the death of her parents.
But who is she to be defeated by such a small setback? "Of course I should observe the mourning period, but the man values Miss Konjac. If I go and talk to him, I'm sure he won't say anything even if I have to wait for a year or two."
Whether or not one observes mourning does not affect the engagement.
Seeing that this person was stubborn, Cui Qingyi completely lost her patience. She didn't want to offend anyone, so she let her in and talked to her in a nice tone, and even blamed them.
Her face turned cold, and she stared straight at Granny Hua, "Granny Hua, we sisters have no intention of getting married, so please leave quickly."
Granny Hua has been a matchmaker for so many years, and no family has ever dared to disrespect her like this. However, these two young ladies from outside are a little too frivolous. Even though Granny Hua has a good temper, she is a little angry now.
