Chapter 157 The Matchmaker Comes to the Door
"The butler? Your butler's martial arts are probably too good." Hearing that it was the butler, Chu Yan was relieved.But then asked with some doubts.

"I came here specially to protect my family. The family is old and weak. I couldn't rest assured, so I found a butler who knows martial arts, but I didn't expect his martial arts to be so good." Jiang Wan explained.

So it is!I misunderstood myself.

Now that the misunderstanding was resolved, Chu Yan asked again: "I promise you will not take a concubine, will you promise to marry me?"

"Can you let me think about it?" Jiang Wan didn't agree directly, she wanted to think clearly whether she wanted to live in seclusion or marry.

Besides the matter of living in seclusion, do you live in seclusion alone?Or live in seclusion with your family?
Are mother and younger brother willing to live in seclusion?You have to ask your family to know this.

When Chu Yan heard that Jiang Wan still had to think about it, she became nervous again.

But he didn't show his face, and said casually: "Okay! I'll give you a night to think about it, and I'll ask you again tomorrow morning."

After finishing speaking, before Jiang Wan could answer, she used her lightness kung fu and flew away.

"Just one night is not enough." Jiang Wan called after him, but unfortunately Chu Yan had gone far away and couldn't hear him.

Chu Yan left with his people, only Wei Zhong stayed where he was waiting.

Seeing Jiang Wan approaching, he stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Master, each of them is a first-class master, do you want the old ghost to send some people over to protect the madam and the young master?"

"No, they are my business partners." Jiang Wan waved back.

With that said, he walked towards home.

It's late at night, let's go back early to rest!Think about how to answer Chu Yan tomorrow morning!
Chu Yan's words made Jiang Wan forget to ask Wei Zhong why he came back.

She was now thinking of how to answer Chu Yan.

Originally, Jiang Wan wanted to take some time to ask about Mrs. Liang, but now it was too late.

That night, Jiang Wan basically didn't sleep.It wasn't until dawn that he fell asleep in a daze.

Not long after falling asleep, I heard someone calling the door outside.After listening carefully, it turned out to be Du Juan.

I only heard Du Juan outside saying: "Miss! Wake up, Madam is calling you over!"

"My mother called me? Do you know what's going on?" Jiang Xun replied with his head half tilted.

"Miss Hui, I don't know about it. However, news came from the front yard that a matchmaker-looking person came to the door." Du Juan replied outside the door.

"What? A matchmaker?" Jiang Wan knew it was Chu Yan's fault when she heard it.He secretly scolded him in his heart, but put on his clothes quickly with his hands.

Then he opened the door and let Cuifang and Du Juan come in to dress her up.

After washing up, I used two snacks.Jiang Wan took a few maids to Liang's yard.

Arrived at the hall in the front yard to meet guests.Sure enough, he saw a middle-aged woman wearing a mop on her head, her face was wiped white and covered with two blobs of red, and she was talking eloquently.

Seeing Jiang Wan coming over, she smiled and said to Jiang Wan, showing her big yellow teeth, "Hey! This is Ling Qianjin, right? Sure enough, she looks like a fairy, and Mr. Jing is a perfect match."

After hearing this, Jiang Wan said in her heart: It really is him.

Although she was complaining in her heart, Jiang Wan still smiled and bowed to the other party.Then, he retreated behind Mrs. Liang and did not speak.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liang beside him quickly said modestly, "Where, where!"

The matchmaker looked at Jiang Wan and smiled without answering. She felt that this marriage should be possible.The thought of getting a good sum of happy money finally made up for the fright in the middle of the night.

Thinking of the scene of being held on the neck with a knife in her sleep last night, the matchmaker still has lingering fears.

Jiang Wan has been standing behind Liang Shi, listening to Liang Shi asking the matchmaker about the situation of Mr. Jing.

The matchmaker told everything she knew.Unfortunately, what she was talking about was Chu Yan's superficial identity.

Mrs. Liang thought it was true, and even inquired about the situation of Chu Yan's family.

Chu Yan didn't lie about this, but said it rather vaguely.

What parents are still alive!There are so many brothers and sisters!Most people don't think about the emperor at all.

The same goes for Mrs. Liang, she thought that Mr. Jing just had some money in his family.My father married a concubine, so there are so many brothers and sisters.

But Liang is more concerned about Chu Yan himself.Hearing that the other party is a scholar and also knows martial arts, I immediately fell in love with him.

It's just that Liang was a little hesitant when he learned that the other party was from the capital.

The capital city is thousands of miles away from Qingyuan City, and it takes half a month to travel by horse-drawn carriage.After that, it will be difficult to see my daughter again.

But a man with good conditions like Mr. Jing may not be able to meet again in the future.What if I ruined my daughter's good marriage because of myself?
After thinking about it, Mrs. Liang said to the matchmaker: "Please wait here for a while, my wife and I will go over and discuss it."

"Okay! You two just go." The matchmaker replied with a smile.

Mrs. Liang pulled Jiang Wan into the room and said quietly: "Wan'er, the Mr. Jing that the matchmaker said today is very good.

It's just that my home is a little far away from the capital city.In other words, how did he know about you, Wan'er!Are you classmates with your uncle?Heard what your uncle said? "

"Mother, don't guess. How could my uncle talk about me in front of my cousin.

We know this Mr. Jing, the one I rescued from the mountain last year. "Jiang Wan was afraid that Mrs. Liang would think wildly, so she told Mrs. Liang part of what happened to Chu Yan.

"What? This Mr. Jing is the one with the broken leg?" Liang said in surprise.

"Yes, that's him. At that time, he was seriously injured, and he was unable to move. We had to take care of him at our house first, and then left after he recovered from his injury."

"It's him! Then do you agree to this marriage? The capital is not a prefecture, and it's not easy to come back." Liang reminded Jiang Wan.

Far and near are fine, Jiang Wan worried that what Chu Yan did would affect his family.You have to find a way to arrange the family properly.

Jiang Wan thought for a while and said, "Mom, what do you think? I'll listen to you."

Mrs. Liang didn't shirk it. In her eyes, a marriage is such a big deal.It is all determined by the parents, and it is rare to ask the two parties.

After careful consideration, Mrs. Liang said: "Mother thinks this can be done. Although the capital is a bit far away, your uncle said that he will go to the capital in the future."

"..." My uncle just passed the examination of scholar, and there is still a long way to go before leaving the capital!
However, Jiang Wan didn't say that.

After Liang's decision was made, she took Jiang Wan out.

This time, Jiang Wan did not stay.

Not long after Jiang Wan left, the matchmaker also left happily.She returned to the town in the hired carriage and told Chu Yan the Jiang family's reply.

Chu Yan was relieved when he heard that the Jiang family agreed.And immediately ordered Jing Xuan to start preparing the dowry gift and engagement token immediately.

He himself took people to hunt wild geese outside the town, which was an indispensable thing for the next hire.

It only took Chu Yan one day to prepare all the things needed for the betrothal gift.Then let someone drag the dowry in a carriage and go straight to Jiang's house.

There are more than a dozen carriages, each of which has a happy word on it.

Along the way, everyone turned their heads to wait and see. They wanted to see who was so generous.
