Chapter 773 The Matchmaker Arrives (2)
"Sister Caiwei went out? Where did she go? How long will it take for her to come back?"
When Huo Yuan heard that Caiwei had gone out, his heart suddenly 'kicked', fearing that she would go to Lingbei to find him. Fortunately, Mu Zhongqing just said: "Her master asked her to go out to do something and she will be back in a few days. "
Knowing that Caiwei did not go to Lingbei, Huo Yuan was relieved. He chatted with Mu Zhongqing for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
His family must have known that he was detained in Yingtian Prefecture. He needed to go back to the mansion to pay his respects to his mother and, by the way, give a warning to those who wanted to make trouble while he was away!
Not long after Huo Yuan left, a fat woman wearing a brocade satin jacket came in, followed by eight young servants. The servants were holding boxes tied with red ribbons, silk and other things in their hands.
Mu Zhongqing and Chaoyang were both stunned. This woman looked like a typical matchmaker, and the servants behind her held boxes of silk tied with red ribbons, which looked like betrothal gifts. What was going on?
The woman twisted her waist and walked to Mu Zhongqing with a smile. She raised her handkerchief and said in a soft voice: "Hey, this is Mr. Mu, the scholar, right?"
Mu Zhongqing nodded, still with a confused look: "Excuse me, who are you..."
The fat woman smiled with her hands covering her mouth, and the wrinkles on her face piled up, squeezing out the thick layer of white powder on her face, which fell down.
"Hey, I'm Zhang, a famous matchmaker in the capital. I've been a matchmaker for 30 years. I don't know how many beauties and talented men I've helped to marry, and how much good fortune I've accumulated!"
When he heard that the other party was a matchmaker, Mu Zhongqing's heart was moved. He thought of Huo Yuan who had just left. He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the boy couldn't wait any longer and sent someone to propose marriage again?
Just as she was thinking, Matchmaker Zhang had already bent down with her thick waist, and said with a smile on her face: "I congratulate Mr. Mu, congratulations to Mr. Mu, Mr. Mu is very happy!"
Mu Zhongqing coughed, his face a little unnatural, and said: "Mother Zhang, please sit upstairs, we have something to say upstairs."
Matchmaker Zhang showed her big yellow teeth and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, please lead the way, Mr. Mu." After that, she waved her handkerchief, and the eight servants dressed in the same way followed her with boxes, followed her, and went upstairs with Mu Zhongqing.
A customer who was buying snacks downstairs laughed: "It seems that there will be a happy event in the Mu family!"
Chao Yun said lightly while weighing the snacks: "One family's daughter is sought by hundreds of families. Without the final betrothal, it is not a happy event."
A bucket of cold water poured on the crowd of onlookers, and they all lost interest, so they shut up and bought snacks by themselves.
Soon, a noise was heard upstairs. The old woman came down angrily, followed by a servant with a bad face.
"Tsk, don't you see what kind of family you are from? Being a concubine is a promotion for you, and you still dream of your daughter entering Guangling Palace to be the prince's concubine, bah!"
Matchmaker Zhang put her hands on her waist and cursed in anger, not caring whether Mu Zhongqing upstairs heard it or not.
She has been a matchmaker for more than 30 years, and she is known as Zhang Jinzui in the capital. Over the years, no matter which mansion she went to, the young men and women, masters and wives in the mansion had to give her three points of face and call her Zhang Mama. But just now, when Mu Zhongqing heard that the prince of Guangling was going to marry his daughter as a concubine, he pointed at her nose and told her to get out, and even dared to call her an old hag, which really pissed her off!
