Chapter 490: Matchmaker
"The fox fur looks good, and I was thinking about you girls who are afraid of the cold in winter. Even if this fox fur is not enough to make a piece of clothing, it can be made into two scarves, sleeves, hats, etc. It's just right for you and Miss Sui, so each of you can make one, and it can keep out the cold wind in winter."
"Thank you."
Zhuang Qingning was quite touched that these three burly men still remembered this detail. He went into the house and took out two cans of tea and handed them to Hu Da. "I don't have anything good to give in return. I got some tea from Chengji Tea Shop in the county town. I think it's pretty good. You guys are escorting back and forth on weekdays. Drinking a cup of hot tea on the way will warm you up and refresh you."
Zhuang Qingning gave it to Hu Da, who was flattered to accept it. "To be honest with you, Shopkeeper Zhuang, the three of us were thinking about bringing some tea leaves with us when we go out tomorrow. Fortunately, Shopkeeper Zhuang gave it to us, so we don't have to go out to buy it again."
"Then the three of us brothers won't hesitate to accept it."
"Take it. Compared to this fox fur, I'm getting a great bargain." Zhuang Qingning laughed, "But don't be polite."
After hearing what Zhuang Qingning said, Hu Da grabbed his ears and laughed.
It was late at night, and it was not appropriate for them to stay here any longer. After exchanging a few words and drinking the tea until they felt warm all over, Hu Da took Hu Er and Hu San with him to say goodbye to Zhuang Qingning.
The three of them had to go back at night. The later they left, the harder the road would be to travel on. Zhuang Qingning did not try to keep them and just sent them out.
Before leaving, he stuffed some sugar cakes into their hands and put a clay pot of hot tea in the wicker basket.
"Eat this white sugar cake when you are hungry. The casserole keeps it warm, and there is a rattan basket outside to protect it. Even if it is cold outside, it should be able to last for a while. Drink some when you are thirsty. It will keep you warm while drinking." Zhuang Qingning reminded.
"Thank you, Manager Zhuang."
The three brothers thanked Zhuang Qingning one by one and left.
Hu Da and Hu Er, one holding a sugar cake and the other holding a clay pot, walked with big strides.
However, Hu San, who was originally following behind the two people, walked very slowly. When the two people were not paying attention, he turned back and trotted to Zhuang Qingning.
"Manager Zhuang." Hu San smiled. "Don't listen to my elder brother's nonsense about no one looking down on us. It's just that no one looks down on him..."
"I'm not bragging. With my looks, even if I'm not as good-looking as others, at least I'm prettier than my eldest and second brothers. It's their problem that they can't find a wife, but I can find one."
"It's just that we are escorting people all day long, and we are out all year round. We don't usually meet a suitable girl... So I was thinking, if you, Shopkeeper Zhuang, know a girl of the right age, could you help me to get her in touch with you?"
"I will give you, Shopkeeper Zhuang, a pair of comfortable satin shoes..."
If you are arranging a marriage for someone, you are a matchmaker. Compared with professional matchmakers who charge matchmaker fees, people like these who do matchmaking by chance don't ask for the so-called matchmaker fees. They just give a pair of shoes as a reward for the matchmaker's hard work in running errands.
Zhuang Qingning didn't expect that Hu Sanzhe came back to tell her about this, and she burst out laughing.
But since Hu San said it so seriously, Zhuang Qingning nodded and said, "If I come across a suitable person, I can mention it. But if there is no suitable one..."
This was the first time Zhuang Qingning had been doing the job of a matchmaker in her two lifetimes, and she felt unsure about it.
"It's okay, Shopkeeper Zhuang, don't take it too seriously. It's just a matter of convenience. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, forget it. It's not something that can be forced. It's enough that Shopkeeper Zhuang is thinking about me."
Hu San grinned and bowed to Zhuang Qingning, "Thank you for your hard work, Shopkeeper Zhuang. I'll be leaving now. See you later."
After saying that, he hurriedly trotted off to chase Hu Da and Hu Er.
Hu Da and Hu Er saw Hu San take a long time to catch up, and they were a little unhappy, "What have you been doing? Why are you taking so long?"
"I haven't seen Manager Zhuang for a long time. I was very grateful, so I just said a few words to him." Hu San lied casually.
"This third brother is definitely not telling the truth. Look at the corners of his mouth, it's almost stretching to his ears. Tell me, are you thinking about asking Manager Zhuang to find you a wife?" Hu Er rolled his eyes and asked while holding Hu San's ear.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't say that." Hu San argued.
"If I'm not right, why are you blushing?" Hu Er insisted, "Okay, kid, you're doing this secretly behind my back with my eldest brother, this won't do, what if the shopkeeper of the village only thinks about the third brother?"
"Brother, can you please say something?"
Hu Er saw that he had been making a lot of noise here for a while, while Hu Da remained silent, so he pulled his sleeve.
"I was thinking..."
Hu Da opened his mouth and said, "Let's not talk about other things. What if the girl that Shopkeeper Zhuang mentioned is as good at fighting as Shopkeeper Zhuang?"
The kind who gets beaten up over the head if they don't agree with something?
As soon as Hu Da said this, Hu Er felt a chill in his heart.
The incident of getting hit on the head by the scale bar seems like it was just yesterday. It still gives me a headache. If this kind of thing happens every day, then in the future...
I’m afraid it won’t be easy.
Come on, come on, whoever wants this blessing can have it, just give it to him, he doesn’t want it.
When Hu Er thought of this, he was too lazy to argue with Hu San anymore and just went his own way.
Hu San, whose hand was let go by Hu Er, couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw Hu Er looking relaxed and Hu Da looking serious.
You two guys don't understand anything.
What’s wrong with being able to fight? What’s wrong with being beaten?
Dare to say that the three of them are living a good life now because they were beaten? If being beaten can lead to a good life, then he doesn't mind being beaten all day long.
Besides, the girl that the shopkeeper mentioned, how could she beat someone for no reason? At least she would give a reason before beating someone, which is not what you think...
My eyelids are even shallower than that plate. I don’t know what to say.
Hu San was too lazy to argue with them about this matter. He was just happy about it. He was so happy that he walked faster. After seeing off the three Hu brothers, Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui packed up and went to bed early.
The next day, Shi Bao and Shen Quan drove a horse-drawn carriage and waited for Zhuang Qingning at the door early in the morning.
"You're here so early, it's time for breakfast. Would you like to have some?" Zhuang Qingning asked warmly, "The tofu pudding from the Morning Tofu Shop is new. It has both sweet and savory flavors."
"I also fried some pancakes this morning, just to go with it."
