step by step

Chapter 73
As soon as Mrs. Xue's words fell, she heard a servant girl answer: "Yes! Old lady!"

A moment later, a tall woman in a purple gown hurriedly walked into the room, and gave a blessing to Mrs. Xue.

"Servant pays respects to the old lady!"

I saw that the woman was around forty years old, with a pretty face, and a pair of red phoenix eyes revealed a hint of coquettishness.

She wears a purple gold hairpin inlaid with jade, and a jade gourd pendant hanging from her waist. The clothes are well-made, and it can be seen that they are not cheap.

The woman was followed by two maidservants, both of them were wearing long green dresses, and they were slim and pretty.

Mrs. Xue looked at her and said, "Tell Ye Zhaoyan what you know."

The woman looked at Mrs. Xue, a look of fear flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She walked quickly to the table and stood still, and said in a respectful voice: "The servant girl is called Qingzhu, and she is a matchmaker in Chucui Building, Shangzhang Street, Jindu, who is responsible for making marriage proposals."

After Qingzhu finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Ye Zhaoyan and asked, "This servant already knew about the girl's difficulties yesterday. The girl's current situation, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to say goodbye in Jindu."

When Ye Zhaoyan heard the words, he pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

"However, although the girl has encountered inhuman things, she is outstanding in appearance. If you plan carefully, you will still have a chance to marry into a good family." Qingzhu continued.

As soon as Qing Zhu said these words, everyone present immediately caused an uproar.

This Shangzhang Street is the busiest and most lively street in Jindu. Hundreds of high-ranking officials, rich men, merchants, officials and ministers gathered in Jindu here. Naturally, there is not much water mixed in.

When Qingzhu said this, she paused for a moment, looked at Ye Zhaoyan, and said with a look of pity in her eyes: "This servant knows that this matter is cruel to the girl, but people's words are terrible, if the girl doesn't seize the opportunity and find someone to marry , and there will be no chance of finding a lover in the future.”

"Oh?" Ye Zhaoyan glanced at Qingzhu lightly upon hearing this.

"Your servant is the best matchmaker in Jindu, and she will never lie to the girl." Seeing her questioning expression, Qingzhu quickly assured that she dares to be the number one matchmaker in Jindu, and no one dares to be the second.

When Ye Zhaoyan heard this, the expression on his face became even more indifferent.

"You mean, it's up to you whether I marry or not?"

When Qingzhu heard this, a look of shock appeared on her face, she hurriedly bowed and said: "Don't dare!"

In her impression, all the young ladies in Jindu are well-educated, gentle and virtuous, and they are rarely so strong.

"Since you don't dare, why do you dare to come to my Ye Mansion to dictate?"

When Qing Zhu heard this, embarrassment flashed across his face.

Unexpectedly, Ye Zhaoyan was so sharp that he blocked her from saying anything.

She is the best matchmaker in Tangtang Shangzhang Street, and she is usually flattered and flattered by others, how has she ever been wronged like this?
She took a deep breath, tried her best to calm down her tone, and said slowly: "Miss misunderstood, this servant has absolutely no other intentions, just reminding her like this for the sake of her reputation!"

Ye Zhaoyan looked at her and said with a sneer, "You really think about me!"

Qing Zhu was startled, not knowing what Ye Zhaoyan meant by this.

But soon, Qingzhu understood the meaning of Ye Zhaoyan's words.

"You are so considerate of me, but tell me, how do you marry into a good family when encountering inhuman things?" Ye Zhaoyan looked at her and asked.

Qingzhu hesitated for a moment when she heard the words, looked at Ye Zhaoyan, and said solemnly: "The girl is so smart and beautiful, naturally there are many good people who are willing to accept the girl as a concubine."

"Haha!" Ye Zhaoyan couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard the words, as if he heard some big joke, he looked at Qingzhu full of mockery.

Ye Zhaoyan laughed for a moment, then stopped laughing, her gaze at Qingzhu became more and more cold, she looked at Qingzhu and said: "Qingzhu, have you forgotten something?"

"What?" Qing Zhu asked with some puzzlement.

Ye Zhaoyan looked at Qingzhu and said coldly, "Who am I? Did you ever know?"

"Your maidservant knows!" Qing Zhu lowered her head, and said in a weak voice, "Miss Ye Family."

"It's good to know, do you think I will marry those people as my concubine?" Ye Zhaoyan sneered.

"This..." Qingzhu didn't know what to say for a while when she heard the words. She naturally knew Ye Zhaoyan's identity very clearly, but Ye Zhaoyan's situation was very embarrassing.

Although she felt a little sympathetic to Ye Zhaoyan in her heart, she felt a little disgusted when she thought that Ye Zhaoyan caused this incident by himself.

If Ye Zhaoyan's grandmother, Mrs. Xue, spent a lot of money to invite her, she would not have come at all.

Although Qingzhu despised Ye Zhaoyan in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on the surface.

She looked up at Ye Zhaoyan and said sincerely: "Miss Ye, this matter needs to be carefully considered. After all, your situation is really difficult. If not."

Before Qing Zhu finished speaking, Ye Zhaoyan interrupted her directly, and said with a sneer, "Who are you? Why do you think that I, Ye Zhaoyan, would follow the advice of a little matchmaker like you?"

Hearing this, Qingzhu's expression changed drastically, with a look of panic on her face, and she quickly said: "Miss Ye, you must not misunderstand the kindness of the servant girl. You have to marry sooner or later, why wait until things are resolved?" Where is it?"

As he said that, Qingzhu also played tricks on Mrs. Xue who was sitting in the first seat, asking her to help him a little bit.

She didn't expect Ye Zhaoyan to be so ungrateful.

She is the best matchmaker in Jindu, almost everyone in Jindu knows her.

Such a person, put outside, is an absolute celebrity, and he is also the most powerful matchmaker.

In front of Ye Zhaoyan, he seemed to be nothing.

Mrs. Xue Qingzhu couldn't say enough, she hurriedly said: "It's really outrageous to be a concubine with someone. It's just that things have come to this, why not marry Ji Sinian, at least you can be a regular wife."

The smile on Ye Zhaoyan's face grew stronger.

She reached out and patted Qingzhu's shoulder and said: "You are right, the matter is doomed to be irreversible, my reputation has indeed been completely ruined!"

Mrs. Xue was overjoyed when she heard this.

Did Ye Zhaoyan figure it out?

Ye Zhaoyan finally admitted her words!

Mrs. Xue was secretly proud. It seems that she won the bet this time!
She knew that as long as Ye Zhaoyan's name was bitten to make troubles, even if the old man came, he would be powerless!
"Zhaoyan, since you know your situation, you should understand what the consequences will be if you don't listen to the advice!" Mrs. Xue stood up, looked at Ye Zhaoyan and said.

Now that the matter was about to be completed, she had to strike while the iron was hot and finalize the matter before Ye Zhaoyan changed his mind.

However, the excitement in her heart didn't last long, and Ye Zhaoyan's next sentence interrupted her fantasy.

"I've already made up my mind. If I can't clarify this matter, I will never marry for life!" Ye Zhaoyan continued.

The smile on Mrs. Xue's face froze.

She looked at Ye Zhaoyan in disbelief.

Is this stubborn girl crazy? !

She is not married? !
Simply unheard of!

How does this work!
Not only Mrs. Xue, but even Mrs. Xue Huaitan and Mrs. Qin showed expressions of disbelief.

Several people turned their heads to look at Ye Zhaoyan in unison, and said in shock: "Ye Zhaoyan, what are you talking about? You don't marry?! Are you crazy?!"
