Mrs. Yang looked sincere, and her words made people feel warm and relaxed.

Mrs. Han had met Mrs. Qiao before, and she was truly a gentle and kind person.

Moreover, Lord Qiao's reputation is there, which shows that the Qiao family has a clean and upright character. She is already a little tempted.

If she could marry into such a good family, Xian'er would surely live a happy life.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Han finally smiled.

"Madam Yang, this marriage is of course a perfect one, but I still need to discuss it with my husband."

When Mrs. Yang heard this, she knew that the marriage was a sure thing, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

He Jing put a lot of pressure on her, saying that she must marry into the Han family. Now she can be considered lucky enough to have fulfilled her mission.

"Of course. If Sister Han has reached an agreement with Lord Han, you must give me a definite answer as soon as possible. They are waiting for my news."

Mrs. Han agreed immediately.

After seeing off Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Han immediately went to find Han Yaxian.

Seeing her daughter's red eyes, Mrs. Han was startled and quickly took Han Yaxian into her arms with heartache.

"What happened to Xian'er?"

Han Yaxian raised her head nervously, feeling mixed emotions. Finally, she mustered up the courage to ask:

"Mother, Madam Yang..."

Mrs. Han patted Han Yaxian on the shoulder, and a hint of joy could not help but appear between her eyebrows.

"Xian'er, Madam Yang was asked by someone to propose marriage. The other party is the Qiao family of Censor Qiao, and the one you are talking about is the eldest son of the Qiao family!"

Han Yaxian's heart trembled violently when she heard that. That handsome face appeared in her mind again. For the first time, it was so clear and so within reach.

She finally couldn't help it and cried with joy on Mrs. Han's shoulder.

Mrs. Han was immediately shocked. Han Yaxian has always been very sensible and rarely sheds tears in front of her mother.

Thinking of this, Madam Han asked hurriedly, "Xian'er, why are you crying? Are you unwilling? If you don't want to, mother will help you refuse!"

Han Yaxian gently shook her head and said happily with tears in her eyes, "Mom, I do. I do."

On the other hand, Qiao Zhongguo met with his colleague for the first time after leaving court. The person he met was Han Mingzhe, the Minister of Works.

At this time, Han Mingzhe and Qiao Zhongguo were sitting in a side room of a teahouse, looking flattered.

"Master Qiao, I wonder what you are looking for me?"

Qiao Zhongguo took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Han Mingzhe and said straight to the point: "Old Han, I want to become your relative!"

Han Mingzhe:?

————

After Qiao Zhongguo returned home, he was humming a little tune.

Mrs. Qiao had not yet received confirmation from Mrs. Yang, but she couldn't help but feel happy when she saw her husband being so proud.

"Husband, is it done?"

Qiao Zhongguo raised his eyebrows proudly, "If your husband takes action personally, there is no way it won't work."

Qiao Jiaojiao was beside.

[Well, my father wouldn't just beat up Lord Han and force him to sell his daughter, right? ]

Qiao Zhongguo:?

Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

Qiao Zhongguo deliberately went outside to get rid of the smell of alcohol before going home. At this moment, he hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and gently hooked her little nose.

"Whoever wants to marry our Jiaojiao from now on will not be able to do so! Unless he can defeat me!"

Whenever Qiao Zhongguo is happy, he always talks about "old man". This is a bad habit he acquired in the military camp, but he has restrained himself a lot over the years.

Qiao Jiaojiao chuckled when she heard this.

[Dad, you're probably overthinking this. I won't get married! I want to be a daddy's girl and a mommy's girl for the rest of my life! ]

When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, his eyes lit up with satisfaction!

That’s right, no one is worthy of their Jiaojiao!

However, after hearing the second half of Qiao Jiaojiao's words, Qiao Zhongguo could no longer laugh.

[When the time comes, I will keep five, six, seven or eight handsome men, and let them peel grapes for me, fan me, sing songs for me, and massage my legs! ]

Mrs. Qiao had a look of resentment in her eyes. She really had no idea what Jiaojiao was thinking. One moment she encouraged the Queen to keep a male lover, and the next moment she wanted a handsome man herself.

It's over. I can't fix it anymore. It's all over...

Qiao Zhongguo: “…”

My daughter...is so ambitious!

The next day, Mrs. Yang came happily and Mrs. Qiao personally went to the door to greet her.

Mrs. Yang's maiden name was Chen. Mrs. Qiao came forward to greet her warmly and called her affectionately, "Sister Chen, I've been waiting for you to come!"

Mrs. Yang smiled mischievously when she saw this, "He Jing, she's still the same as when she was a little girl."

Mrs. Qiao said angrily, "Sister Chen, please stop making fun of me. Tell me, what happened?"

Madam Yang raised her head and said, "If I hadn't done it, I wouldn't have the face to visit your Qiao Mansion today!"

Mrs. Qiao clapped her hands suddenly and her face was instantly filled with smiles.

"Great! My dear sister, come in and have a cup of tea! You are the matchmaker for our eldest son!"

Madam Yang walked briskly, following Madam Qiao inside.

"It doesn't matter if we have tea or not, just let me hug your Jiaojiao. I miss her so much after not seeing her for a few days!"

After finding out the Han family's opinion, both families were very satisfied with the marriage, so they officially started the process.

When a wealthy family gets married, there are many things to pay attention to, from accepting the bride's proposal, asking for the bride's name, accepting the good news, accepting the betrothal gift, and asking for the date.

To put it simply, there are many rules for exchanging engagement cards, sending betrothal gifts, etc., and you have to do it step by step.

Since Mrs. Yang has accepted the job of matchmaker, she will have to work hard for the Qiao family for a while.

On the second day, she took the generous gifts that the Qiao family had prepared early and went to the Han family again.

The entire Han family was in high spirits. After receiving the gifts, they presented the Gengtie with Han Yaxian's birth date and eight characters written on it with both hands.

Madam Yang also smiled happily. She thought to herself that she would have to talk to her husband when she got back. The Han family had now made an extraordinary marriage. Next time, she should not order Lord Han around or scold him.

The news that the Qiao and Han families were going to get married spread throughout the capital in almost one day.

Upon hearing the news, almost everyone was shocked. It was simply because the Han family's status was too different from that of the Qiao family.

They just wanted to ask, what exactly did the Qiao family like about the Han family?

That afternoon, the Han family welcomed a large number of "friends" unprecedentedly.

Mrs. Han was not good at socializing, and she became very anxious and a little confused when she saw this.

Han Yaxian saw this and said to Madam Han, "Mother, from today on, our Han Mansion will close its doors to visitors."

Mrs. Han hesitated when she heard this. "Will it offend people if we just turn them away?"

Han Yaxian took Madam Han's hand and said gently, "Mother, why do you think they came to our house? They are not here to make friends with our Han family, but to curry favor with the Qiao family behind them."

"Dad has a bad reputation in the capital. People always avoid our Han Mansion. In the eyes of the world, Master Qiao is a hero who protects the country. I heard that Master Qiao also keeps to himself in the court."

"The Qiao family has chosen our Han family as their in-laws. Since we have agreed to this marriage, we cannot hold them back."

"Otherwise, if so many people come to us and beg us in the name of our Han family, how will the Qiao family deal with it?"

Han Yaxian's face was calm. At this moment, there was no trace of girlish shyness on her face, only a deep understanding of righteousness.

"Mother, I can see that Master Qiao wants to be a loyal, upright, and lone minister. Isn't this also Dad's ambition?"

"From now on, just think of our Han family as having one more marriage, and everything else will remain the same."

"good!"

As soon as Han Yaxian finished speaking, a burst of praise rang out.

Mrs. Han turned her head and saw Han Mingzhe striding towards her from the door with a look of relief on his face.
