Granny Zhao was picking her teeth at the door when she saw Madam Wei leading a group of people in red clothes over, and she was surprised:
"Erquan's wife, where are you going? You've brought a matchmaker and betrothal gifts with you. Are you going to propose marriage?"
Ms. Wei stopped, smiled, and said, "That's right!"
After saying that, he quickly walked forward.
The villagers on the road all looked at each other in bewilderment.
These two families are now among the wealthiest in the village. Any girl who marries Ye Peng is truly blessed.
The Wei family even brought the betrothal gifts back to the village, so the girl must be from this village.
Moreover, they've already reached the point of proposing marriage, so they must have already made arrangements in private!
The villagers laughed and said, "Congratulations! We didn't expect the Erquan family to move so quickly, getting their son married so quietly."
"I wonder which lucky girl is!"
"Being able to join Erquan's family is the best life imaginable! It's like falling into a paradise. They earn over ninety taels a month!"
"Ye Peng is also a good young man. He is tall and handsome, and he delivers goods to his home every day. He is also a capable man."
Although Ms. Wei was a little frightened, hearing these praises calmed her nerves somewhat.
Listen to that, everyone knows how good her Peng'er is!
It's Jin'er's good fortune to marry Peng'er! And they still refuse!
Thinking it over, Madam Wei took a deep breath. Since she was already here, she might as well make a grand entrance! She simply raised her head, flicked her handkerchief, and walked forward.
She's determined to make Jin'er and Peng'er's marriage a done deal!
The villagers were incredibly curious and all followed Mrs. Wei. Everyone wanted to know which girl would be so lucky.
The villagers had been talking about it all the way, but when Ms. Wei stopped at Ye Caiping's house, all the villagers fell silent, dumbfounded.
This is……
Granny Zhao came out and exclaimed in surprise, "Erquan's wife, are you... going to propose marriage for Xiaoyan?"
"Pah, pah, pah, nonsense." Madam Wei was full of disgust. With Yang Xiaoyan's unfortunate and poor appearance, how could she be worthy of entering her family?
Granny Zhao's eyes widened: "So, are you proposing to... Jin'er or Huan'er? Jin'er?"
“Yes.” Madam Wei smiled and said, “Just as Aunt Zhao and you said, Jin’er is a blessed person.”
Upon hearing this, all the villagers were stunned and speechless.
If an ordinary farm girl were to marry Ye Peng, that would be a blessing.
But Ye Jin'er... with her wealth, are you sure it's not Ye Peng climbing the social ladder by marrying her?
When Shanzi saw this, he stared in disbelief, then slammed the door shut and ran inside.
Suddenly finding herself turned away, Madam Wei felt humiliated: "Hey, you—you damned servant, why are you closing the door!"
The matchmaker and the people carrying the gifts behind them looked at each other in bewilderment.
It's broad daylight, not yet time for a big dinner and moon-gazing.
Ye Caiping is making lanterns by hand with Jin'er, Huan'er, and all her family members.
Ye Caiping made a rabbit lantern and handed it to Ye Jin'er.
Everyone was amazed. Jin'er smiled and said, "I never imagined that Mother was so amazing that she could even make lanterns."
Ye Caiping smiled proudly; she had done this before when she worked as a summer intern.
"Madam Ye!" At this moment, Shanzi rushed over in a panic and said strangely, "Second Madam Ye is here. And, she... she brought a matchmaker with her..."
Ye Caiping and the others were stunned when they heard this.
"A matchmaker? What does she want?" Old Mrs. Ye was furious and jumped up. "We refused her last time, and she still... can't she understand human language?"
Ye Caiping sneered and stood up: "I'm going out to meet her. Jin'er, don't come out."
Ye Jin'er nodded with a sullen face; she had already rejected him!
Didn't he tell his second aunt when he went back? Why did he bring a matchmaker again?
Ye Caiping, along with Grandma Ye, Ye Huan'er, and everyone else, walked to the door.
Upon opening the door, one sees a short, plump matchmaker standing there, wearing a large red flower in her hair.
As soon as the door opened, Ms. Wei hid behind the matchmaker.
Although she was willing to go all out, she was still afraid. Since she had already spent money, the matchmaker had to take the lead.
The matchmaker's surname was Wu, and she was someone she had brought back from the prefectural city.
This matchmaker, Wu, is the number one matchmaker in the entire Southern State. As long as she's willing, there's no marriage she can't arrange.
It cost her a full three taels of silver just to ask her to make this trip.
Moreover, the money was paid in advance, and it couldn't be refunded regardless of whether the deal went through or not.
If it works out, I'll have to give you another five taels!
Mrs. Wei was heartbroken!
When the matchmaker saw Ye Caiping and the others come out, she quickly gave a smiling curtsy:
"Greetings, Madam Ye, Old Master Ye, and Madam Ye. I am a matchmaker from the prefectural city, my surname is Wu. I even arranged the marriage of Prefect Qin's youngest daughter."
The matchmaker immediately revealed her unique identity.
She wasn't just any matchmaker; she was a matchmaker who ran a business with the nobility. She had connections throughout the entire prefecture's aristocracy when it came to marriages.
If you want your children to have a good marriage, you have to give her some face.
Any wealthy farming family would have invited her in with utmost respect.
Unexpectedly, Ye Caiping responded coldly with an "Oh".
The matchmaker's face stiffened. Seeing that they wouldn't invite her in and that there were many onlookers, she had no choice but to speak up herself:
"We have some great news to discuss with Madam Ye today. Why don't we go inside and talk?"
Ye Caiping didn't even look at her, but stared coldly at Wei Shi behind her: "Second sister-in-law, did you invite this matchmaker?"
Ms. Wei's face stiffened, and she felt a chill run down her spine.
Over the past year, no matter how much money Ye Caiping earned, she was always very kind to her and Madam Du. This was the first time her sister-in-law had looked at her with such cold eyes since she was divorced and sent home.
Mrs. Wei was so frightened that she dared not utter a sound.
Old Mrs. Ye was furious, but she held back her anger: "Second son's family, have you come to the wrong house? Or are you tired and want to find a place to sit down?"
Out of consideration for Ye Erquan, Old Lady Ye still wanted to give her a chance.
Give her a way out.
Wei's face turned pale from the stare, and she couldn't help but glare at the matchmaker.
I thought Ye Caiping would be powerless against Wu the matchmaker and would be led around by her.
Unexpectedly, the matchmaker was of no use at all, and she herself became the target again.
"Hey, hey, Madam Ye, let's go inside and talk." The matchmaker stepped forward with a forced smile.
Ye Caiping gave her a cold stare: "Do I know you that well? Do you think you can just walk into my house whenever you want?"
The matchmaker's face stiffened; it was the first time she'd ever been so humiliated, and she was somewhat annoyed.
"Madam Ye, I am the number one matchmaker in the prefectural city. I even acted as matchmaker for the daughter of the prefect."
"So what? Just because you were a matchmaker for the prefect's daughter doesn't mean you've become the ancestor of the prefect's family."
The matchmaker's expression changed: "You—"
I never expected that this young lady Ye would speak so harshly.
After thinking for a moment, the matchmaker pulled Old Madam Ye aside and said, "Old Madam, you must be Young Master Ye Peng's grandmother. I have something to tell you that concerns life and death."
As he spoke, he pulled Old Lady Ye aside.
Old Mrs. Ye was curious to hear what she had to say, so she followed her a few steps away and said, "Spit it out."
