Chapter 485: Matchmaker's Quarrel 2
"Miss An Yue is well-educated and well-mannered. Now she has the demeanor of a mistress in her boudoir."
"The An family's brother is now a scholar. If Miss An Yue marries a juren, she will be the proper mistress of the family in the future. This can be considered a good match."
Then, Mrs. Zhang turned around and said, "Bah! You, old woman Wang! You actually let Miss An Yue marry a peasant. What are you thinking? Don't play matchmaker here!"
The two matchmakers became more and more excited as they talked, and were about to start fighting.
Po Wang reached out and loosened Po Zhang's hair bun. Po Zhang was not to be outdone and grabbed the hair and the red flower by Po Wang's ear.
Chunzhi and Meng Xiuer saw what was happening and quickly stepped forward to separate them.
An Yue sat aside, watching this scene and felt both angry and amused.
My aunt and grandmother are now very tactful in what they say and do.
An Yue was not in the village on weekdays, so when they met people proposing marriage, they always pretended to be stupid or politely refused.
An Yue is at home today, so naturally they won't interfere too much.
But seeing the two old women quarreling, my aunt and grandmother were a little surprised.
The eldest aunt stopped them loudly, "Stop! Ladies, let's talk it out, don't use force, don't use force!"
Grandmother Zhou walked up to the two maids and asked them in a dignified manner, "You are trying to snatch me away by force!"
After hearing what Grandma Zhou said, the two matchmakers calmed down a little.
They stared at each other breathlessly, mumbling something.
An Yue stood up, bowed slightly to the two matchmakers and said, "You two ladies, please stop arguing. I am very grateful to you for coming to propose marriage for me."
"But marriage is not just about family background and power, it also depends on fate and whether your temperaments are compatible."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang said quickly, "Miss, what you said is very true, but the young master of the wealthy family I mentioned has long heard that you are smart and is truly in love with you. That's why he begged me to come and propose marriage."
Mrs. Zhang also quickly took over and said, "Young lady, the same is true for the young master. I have heard that you are quite insightful and capable in your work, so I asked you to come here to make a match."
An Yue smiled lightly and said, "I understand the kindness of the two old ladies, but this matter still needs to be considered carefully."
"Just like what the two old ladies said, I don't know much about the two young masters. Besides, although I am a woman, I also have my own unique opinions and ideas."
Mrs. Wang asked in confusion, "What does Miss An Yue mean?"
"My dear ladies, I would like to meet you two gentlemen in person. What do you think?"
Everyone in the yard was stunned when they heard this.
In this dynasty, for a woman to take the initiative to propose a meeting was against the rules and etiquette, and could even be considered somewhat unorthodox.
After hearing this, the family members quickly calmed down. They knew that An Yue always had her own opinions.
The two matchmakers looked at my grandmother and my aunt.
Grandmother Zhou choked and turned her face towards the door, selectively avoiding the eye contact and questions of the two matchmakers.
Then they looked at their aunt-in-law standing beside them.
Aunt Zhang was a little embarrassed and evasive, saying guiltily: "Well...Yueyue's idea is quite novel, um...this..."
She rolled her eyes, walked forward, took the hands of the two women, and asked, "What do you two ladies think?"
An Yue and Chunzhi looked at their aunt, looked at each other, and cleared their throats while trying to hold back a smile.
Both matchmakers lowered their heads and thought for a moment.
Mrs. Wang said embarrassment: "My lady's request... may be a little against the rules."
Mrs. Zhang on the side continued, "Ms. An Yue has such thoughts, which just happens to show that she is a woman with broad vision and insight. I think Mr. Juren should be able to understand."
Mrs. Wang frowned and asked, "If you really have this idea, then I will go back and ask Mr. Wang what he thinks. What do you think?"
An Yue smiled and nodded at the two matchmakers, saying, "If the two gentlemen agree, we can meet at the Qianxi Building in the county town during the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month."
"After arriving at the Millennium Building, the gentleman at the counter told me that he was looking for An Yue and that I would be there soon."
After hearing what An Yue said, the two matchmakers stood up and said goodbye to the An family.
Afterwards, Chunzhi sent the two of them to the gate of the yard.
As she walked, Mrs. Wang muttered, "I've been running errands for decades, but I've never seen a woman who makes such demands. If this doesn't work out, you can't blame me."
Mrs. Zhang followed Mrs. Wang with a thoughtful look on her face, and the two of them left the An family yard one after the other.
Chunzhi closed the gate of the yard only after she saw the two matchmakers walk away.
The aunt asked worriedly, "Yueyue, I'm afraid that your request just now will cause some gossip."
An Yue smiled calmly and replied, "Aunt, let's not talk about whether what the two matchmakers said today is true or not. First of all, Nian Nian is still young and is in the imperial examination period."
"As for me, I have just reached the age of marriage, so I am not in a hurry to settle down."
"Besides, if the two gentlemen cannot even accept my small request, how can they accompany each other for the rest of their lives?"
Meng Xiuer walked forward, patted the back of An Yue's hand, and said, "Yueyue, you have always been a person with your own ideas, but if this matter gets out, I'm afraid it will not be good for your reputation!"
"Don't be afraid, sister-in-law. If you can't get married, the worst that can happen is that you can just stay at home as a girl."
Meng Xiuer heard this and pretended to be displeased and said, "Bah, bah, bah, you are talking nonsense again."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law! I believe that in the near future, I will meet someone who truly understands and respects me."
"Okay, okay, I can't argue with you. Whatever you say is right!"
Meng Xiuer said, patting An Yue's palm with a bit of a smile. Then she turned around and prepared to do needlework again.
The aunt and grandmother also returned to the east wing, and Da Niu played with Xiao Bao in the yard.
An Yuechunzhi, Meng Xiuer and the other two continued to do needlework.
An Yue recalled the private instructions her grandmother gave her when she went to her grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
The original words were: [Yueyue, if you meet someone you like, be sure to tell your grandmother, so that she can help you keep an eye on him.]
At that time, my grandmother mentioned Lin Hao intentionally or unintentionally.
An Yue knew that the Lin Qingxue couple and her grandparents had always been trying to match An Yue with Lin Hao.
At that time, An Yue used the excuse that An Nian was too young and used other excuses to get away with it.
dong dong dong.
There was another knock on the door.
Chunzhi muttered, "Could it be that this is another matchmaker looking for marriage?"
