Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 440 Seeing the Matchmaker Again ([-])

Matchmaker?After hearing these two words, Xiao An and the others stopped their work, wondering in their hearts, could it be that someone in this city took a fancy to their young master or young lady?Then this family must be either rich or expensive, and they are extremely courageous.After all, Madam just confiscated the house of the governor of the city and imprisoned them a few days ago, and the remaining petty officials have not dared to pay a visit, as if they were afraid that Madam would be unhappy and punish them too.

Nowadays, someone not only dared to come to the door, but even sent a matchmaker to come to the door. If this person either has a strong background, or has other plans.

Xiao An thought for a while, then whispered, "Go and do something, I'll report it."

Xiao Fang immediately responded and went upstairs to get the things. Xiao An washed her hands, walked to the porch, and called out in a low voice, "Madam, Madam, I have something to report."

Mu Ai secretly planted two crops of rice in the space last night behind everyone's back, and harvested a total of more than 100 bags, thinking that after they went south, the townspeople would be able to eat for the first half of the year with these stored grains.

Because she was lethargic and frightened everyone by exhausting her mind before, she was extremely careful this time and slowed down until it was almost dawn.

At this time, she was basking in the sun to catch her sleep, and when she was sleeping soundly, she was woken up by Xiao An, and she frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiao An quickly poured out a cup of tea, handed it forward, and said with a smile, "Madam, Xiao Fang just came back to fetch things for Master Cheng, and met a matchmaker outside the courtyard, who said she came to our house to propose marriage."

"Marriage proposal?" Mu Ai recalled the past dealings with the matchmaker, couldn't help laughing, "It just so happens that I have nothing to do today, so I invite someone in, it sounds like Quan should relieve my boredom."

The girls were already curious and guessed which young master the matchmaker was proposing marriage to, but now they heard the madam's request and pushed Xi Hua, who was the smartest, to go out.

Mu Ai sat up, Xiao An deftly re-tied her hair, straightened her dress, and then stood on one side in a regular manner.

But after a while, Xihua walked in with a strange face. Seeing a few people looking at her suspiciously, she turned slightly to give way to the old woman who was following behind in a colorful brocade dress. She had high temple hair and heavy makeup. , There is also a big red velvet flower inserted behind the left ear, how awkward and awkward, when Mu Ai saw the classic matchmaker image in previous movies, she suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and spit out the tea in her mouth, He lowered his head and coughed.

Xiao An was also provoked by the matchmaker's coquettish attire and couldn't stop laughing, but seeing his wife like this, she quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it over.

Mu Ai took it and wiped her mouth, then pushed the teacup away with her hand, and said with a smile, "It seems that today's tea is very good."

While laughing so hard that the flower branches trembled, Xifu wiped the small table and brought up some fruit.

The matchmaker followed Xihua up the steps, and when she saw Mu Ai sitting on a chair and looking at her with a smile on her face, the uneasiness in her heart eased a little.Quickly took a few steps forward, knelt down and said, "Old slave Gao Liu, I have met Madam Xian, and kowtowed to Madam."

Mu Aixu gave her a hand, tried her best not to look at the dazzling big red flower behind her ear, and said with a smile, "Get up, there is no need to be polite."

Gao Matchmaker kowtowed again, then stood up, bowed and stood to one side.

Mu Ai told Xifu, "Go and move a small stool for Granny Gao to rest her feet."

Gao Matchmaker immediately declined, "Mrs. Xie is sympathetic, this old slave is not tired, so I won't bother the elder sisters."

Xifu smiled and brought a small drum-shaped wooden stool over, pulled her to sit down, and said, "Our wife is very soft-hearted, the worst thing is to see people suffer, mother-in-law should sit down."

Granny Gao had no choice but to thank her, and sat down on the edge of the stool with her buttocks, and flattered her with a smile, "I often hear people say in the city that my wife is the most kind, and the people's medical center will not save a few lives someday." , I just saw it today, Madam is really like a god descending from the earth..."

Mu Ai heard her exaggerated praise, frowned slightly, interrupted her, and asked, "I don't know what Granny Gao does to make a living in the city? What's the important thing to come to our house today?"

Gao Matchmaker was also clever, knowing that Mrs. Fairy didn't like her usual flattery, so she immediately changed her subject and said, "Returning to Madam, this old slave has been making a living as a matchmaker since he was 20 years old, and he has been making a living as a matchmaker until today." Hundreds of good marriages have been achieved, and all the red threads held by the old slave will lead a harmonious and smooth life. I dare not say anything else. In the south of the city, as long as I mention my high matchmaker, everyone will be happy. I have to say hello to…”

Hearing what she was talking about, Xiao An started bragging again, frothing, and the rouge on her face fell off. She quickly moved the fruit plate in front of her, and coughed twice again in a low voice.

The high matchmaker came to her senses, and turned a corner abruptly, "The old slave came to the door today...um...yes, I came here specially to propose marriage."

Mu Ai smiled faintly, "Grandma Gao is a matchmaker, so it's natural to propose a marriage when she comes to this house. But I don't know who invited Granny Gao? Who is it in our house?"

After hearing this, Gao Matchmaker seemed a little nervous, pulled the veil with both hands, and took a peek at Xiao An and the others.

But Mu Ai misunderstood that someone had taken a fancy to Xiao An and the others, thinking that they are now 15 years old, and they have indeed reached the age of engagement, if they can find a good wife for them, it will be better than marrying a servant.

So he said again, "Grandma Gao has something to say, it doesn't matter. Could it be that someone in the city has taken a fancy to my personal maids? They are my right-hand men, they are not good people, and I will not let them go."

The corners of Gao Matchmaker's mouth twitched, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, her lips twitched for a while, as if she had made up her mind to die, she said in a low voice, "No...not to propose marriage to the elder sisters, but Madam."

"Who?" Her voice became lower and lower, and finally it was almost in her mouth. Mu Ai couldn't hear clearly, so she asked loudly.

In the end, the high matchmaker thought that Mu Ai had been angered, so she sat down on the ground with a thud, got up again, kowtowed and begged tremblingly, "Madam, please forgive me, please forgive me, this old servant was bewitched by money, so I did it." Such a stupid thing, the old slave went back and refunded the money, just begging Madam to spare her life..."

Mu Ai was at a loss when she heard this, and didn't understand why she was so terrified, but she also felt that the truth was somewhat different from her guess, so she asked coldly, "Who are you proposing marriage for? Let me explain clearly. You will not be punished."

When Gao Matchmaker heard this, she managed to stop her trembling, and said, "Returning to Madam, a family moved to the south of the city recently, bought a three-story courtyard, and set up a few shops. It looks very rich. That house The master called the old slave yesterday, gave the old slave 50 taels of silver, and asked the old slave to come for him today...well, to propose marriage to Madam."

Mu Ai raised her eyebrows, guessed for a long time, it is not a few children or maids who are going to propose marriage, it is actually her, the princess of Baihua, the mistress of the Muxian Mansion, and the mother of three children!

Xiao An and the others were also stunned. My family used to have no power and a lot of wealth. The little people who were obsessed with money didn't stop thinking about their wives. I remember that there was a nephew of the boss who once threatened to marry his wife as a child.But now, in this Hundred Flowers Kingdom, apart from the queen mother and queen, her own wife is the most honorable woman, why is there someone who is not afraid of death?
The high matchmaker lowered her head and saw that Muai's master and servants didn't seem to be angry, so she hurriedly continued to excuse herself, "This old slave is not greedy for the 50 taels of silver reward, this old slave is seeing that Ouyang master, a good-looking talent, The family has a lot of wealth, so she can be a good match for a woman, no, no, the old slave is talking about an ordinary woman, a noble person like a banished fairy like Madam..."
"Tell me, what's the man's last name?" Gao Matchmaker was halfway flattered, but was interrupted by Mu Ai. She was surprised, but she still replied cautiously, "Mrs. Hui, whose surname is Ouyang, just moved to the south of the city a few days ago. Yes, as for where the original ancestral home is, this old slave does not know."

"Then Master Ouyang is more than five feet tall, he doesn't like to talk and laugh, but likes to wear black clothes?" Mu Ai asked again.

When Gao Matchmaker heard this, she nodded her head, "Yes, yes, Master Ouyang only said one sentence from the beginning to the end, and the steward in his house told the old servant the rest."

Mu Ai stared down at the varnished small table in front of her, remembering that Ouyang often doesn't see anyone in the past few days, and sometimes rushes back with sweat on his face before dinner, is it because he was busy with this matter?I remember that before they were separated, he hugged her and sat under the tree, accompanied by the bright moon and the breeze, and swore that he would carry a big sedan chair eight times, and the Ming media was marrying to bring her in. Did it start now?
"Okay, you go back and tell Master Ouyang that I accept the marriage." Mu Ai said lightly, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up, her brows and eyes were full of joy.

This time it was Gao Matchmaker's turn to be stunned, she raised her hand and slapped her ears vigorously, fearing that she had heard it wrong, she opened her mouth to ask again, fearing that she would offend Mu Ai, her old face was flushed from suffocation.

Mu Ai looked at her, amused in her heart, and said, "Get up, don't kneel down, you heard me right, I accept this marriage, you go back and reply to Master Ouyang."

"Yes...Yes!" Gao Matchmaker didn't know whether she was too shocked or pleasantly surprised, she stuttered and thanked repeatedly, "Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie!"

She said a dozen words in a row, stood up again, and remembered something again. At that time, she thought that Mr. Ouyang had lost his mind, but now that Mrs. Xian has agreed to the marriage, she must be able to agree to this matter. So he tentatively asked again, "Ma'am, Master Ouyang said yesterday that he had something to go on a long trip, so, um, I hope the wedding date will be set within half a month, I don't know Ma'am..."

The corners of Mu Ai's lips curled up higher, and she answered more simply, "Yes."

"Okay, okay," Gao Matchmaker almost jumped up happily. This was so unexpected. She actually agreed to marry Mrs. Xian. If those colleagues in the city knew, who would dare to say goodbye to her in the future? Maybe her high-level matchmaker is the number one matchmaker in Baihua, her business must be so good that she can't afford it, and the money is naturally...

　I slept well last night, and I didn't feel dizzy today. I'm so happy. I must try my best to squeeze in time and sleep more in the future.Thank you friends for supporting the genuine version, group hugs, and continue to work hard!
