Ren Yaoqi originally wanted to ask Pingguo to leave, but Pingguo thought for a moment and said, "Miss, if the Yuan family needs anything, can you help them?"
Ren Yaoqi was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and nodded, "Just tell me first, I will help if I can."
Pingguo said, "I've seen Sister Yuan a few times before, and she told me she wants to arrange a marriage for Yuan Dayong. Originally, Yuan Dayong often stayed at the coal mine in Xishan, so it was hard to find a wife. Now that he's in town, Sister Yuan wants to find him a wife. Today, Sister Yuan even asked me about the sisters in the courtyard. Miss, could you go and ask the Madam?"
Apple usually does his job meticulously, but he is not talkative. Today, he spoke so much, which is rare.
Ren Yaoqi actually thought Yuan Dayong was a nice person. The Yuan family was easy to get along with and had very kind hearts. If possible, she really wanted to keep Yuan Dayong as a right-hand man, and have her mother find him a good girl. There would be no problem with that.
But why did Mrs. Yuan ask Apple about this?
Ren Yaoqi thought about it and asked Pingguo, "Has Sister Yuan ever asked about your age and who is in your family?"
Apple was stunned for a moment, then seemed to react, her face flushed, and she began to stammer: "No, well, it seems, there is..."
Ren Yaoqi found her expression a little funny and teased her, "Is it true or not?"
Apple lowered her head: "I think so..."
There was nothing Ren Yaoqi didn't understand. Mrs. Yuan was probably attracted to the silly girl Pingguo.
But Pingguo thought that Mrs. Yuan was asking her about the maids in Ziwei Courtyard, so she came back and asked her to ask her mother to find a maid for Yuan Dayong.
Apple was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look up. She felt that she was really stupid! Now thinking about the expression and tone of Yuan's wife when she said these words to her, and the helplessness and disappointment on her face when she introduced her to the sister in the yard, she understood everything in her heart.
She had always thought that she was average looking, dull and unlikable, and that no one except the young lady would like her. So she never thought about herself at all.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Pingguo's rare shy look, and felt that she did not seem to be disgusted or rejected, so she smiled and said: "Next time you meet Sister Yuan, tell her that I plan to keep the maid with me for a few more years. If their family can wait, then they can wait. If not, I will ask my mother to find an older one for Yuan Dayong." There were also two maids in her mother's room who were of age to be sent out. They were both good-looking and honest people.
Pingguo bit her lip and agreed with a blushing face. Ren Yaoqi was afraid that she would be really embarrassed, so she smiled and asked her to leave.
In the afternoon, news came from Mrs. Yuan's side that Yuan Dayong had delivered the letter to Zhu Ruomei. After reading the letter, Zhu Ruomei asked him to convey the message, "I will definitely fulfill your mission!"
The news was brought in by Pingguo. The little maidservant didn't know if it was her nature or something but she had regained her serious look. However, her expression was a little bit unnatural when she mentioned Yuan Dayong. Ren Yaoqi knew that she had already conveyed what she had said before to Mrs. Yuan. Pingguo was not a shy person.
Sure enough, before retreating, Apple lowered her head and said, "Miss, Sister Yuan said her family can wait."
Apple's face, which had finally calmed down, turned a little red. She remembered the happy smile on Mrs. Yuan's face when she held her hand and said this.
