Chapter 109: Marriage Bridge

next day
The Jiang family got up early because they were going to the city to find a matchmaker for Jiang Lao San and Jiang Lao Si. The old lady looked particularly energetic and even put on her New Year's clothes.

It was a crimson jacket and skirt made of satin, which was discussed by the Jiang family's sons without telling old lady Jiang.

After a simple breakfast, the family took a carriage straight to the capital.

After arriving in the capital, they went to the shop first. It was not open today, so they entered through the backyard.

After sitting in the shop for a while, Old Mrs. Jiang couldn't wait to go and take a look. When Mrs. Jiang Er heard the news, she was bound to go and take a look as well.

After saying that, the three of them, plus a little tail, happily headed straight for the largest marriage bridge in the capital.

It is called the Marriage Bridge, but it is not a real bridge. Instead, it is a place dedicated to matchmaking.

I heard that quite a few officials also choose their daughters-in-law and sons-in-law from here.

When Old Mrs. Jiang arrived at the Marriage Bridge with her two daughters-in-law and a little granddaughter, the place was packed with people.

The Marriage Bridge happened to be in the East Market, just one street away from their shop, so the four of them walked there.

Seeing the filled Marriage Bridge also made Mrs. Jiang happy.

The presence of many people means that this place is reliable, otherwise so many people wouldn’t come here.

Thinking of this, Old Lady Jiang couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's go in quickly. If we wait a while, we may not be able to squeeze in!"

Seeing that there were many people around who came with their daughters, as we talked for a while, more and more people came.

Seeing this, Old Mrs. Jiang stopped talking and squeezed in with a few people.

After squeezing for a long time, I finally managed to squeeze in.

Mrs. Jiang originally wanted to hold Jiang Yunjin in her arms, but there were too many people, so she had to take her little daughter with her instead.

Fortunately, although Jiang Yunjin was swayed back and forth by the crowd, he still held his mother's hand tightly. After finally squeezing in, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as he entered the house, he was led in by a woman dressed in fancy clothes. After hearing what the Jiang family wanted, the woman said it was very easy.

The Jiang family members were seated in a private room. As soon as their buttocks touched the bench, the woman who had just led the Jiang family members came in.

The woman's surname was Wang and her name was Sanniang. She was famous for her eloquence in the capital.

According to Sanniang herself, there was no marriage in this area that she could not arrange.

After a brief understanding, Old Lady Jiang placed high hopes on Sanniang. When she saw Sanniang looking at her, she slowly stated her conditions.

"Sanniang, our family has a small business, so we won't be tight on money. I have five sons, and except for the two who are married, only the third and fourth are still unmarried. As for the fifth... he is still young, so let's not consider him for now.

"My third son is 24 years old this year. No, it's already past the New Year, he's 25 years old. He was married once, for six years, and just divorced last year. He has no children, is honest, and has been educated. I wonder if my third son can find a wife?"

When Mrs. Jiang arranged a marriage for her son, she must have not hidden anything. If she had hidden it now, what would she do if trouble arose in the future?

Wang Sanniang didn't expect the old lady in front of her to be so honest, and at the same time she also developed a good impression of the old lady.

Upon hearing what the old lady said, she hurriedly said, "Don't worry, old lady. You can find a family of any kind. But... I want to ask, does your son have any hobbies? For example, he likes to beat his wife?"

When Wang Sanniang said this, she looked a little hesitant, fearing that the other party would be angry because of this. After all, Mrs. Jiang had seen the world, and when she heard the worry in the other party's words, she immediately told the matter.

"Sanniang, this is what happened. We came from outside the Great Wall and settled outside the city. It has only been less than two months. Logically, this is a family scandal, but if the third son wants to find a wife, he must let the other party know. We can't hide it from others."

"Madam, you are right. How about this! Madam, please wait for a moment. I will get the roster for you to see."

Wang Sanniang comforted Old Lady Jiang, turned and walked out of the box, and soon came back with a few booklets in her hands.

There are three booklets, each one is two fingers thick.

Wang Sanniang pointed at the book in her hand and explained to the Jiang family, "These three books are all the unmarried women in our Marriage Bridge. By the way, old lady, do you have any requirements for your daughter-in-law?"

The questions Wang Sanniang asked were all necessary questions when choosing a daughter-in-law here. She had to find the right person based on the other party's requirements.

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she was not vague and immediately stated a few points: "Then I will tell you, I hope she is the daughter of a good family, and she must have a gentle temperament. It is better for the couple to live a good life. As for other things, we will not force it."

He has a clean family background and a gentle personality.

These are the two points that Wang Sanniang heard.

After hearing this, Wang Sanniang immediately smiled and said that she could find it.

As he said this, he casually placed a roster in Old Mrs. Jiang's hand.

"Madam, please take a look. These are all unmarried women from all over the country. Their family backgrounds are all clean!"

Wang Sanniang handed another book to Mrs. Jiang Dasao and Mrs. Jiang Ersao, but the last book was placed on the table, which obviously did not meet the requirements of Mrs. Jiang.

While talking for a while, Wang Sanniang also looked at the family in front of her, especially the little girl sitting beside her eating snacks obediently, her eyes almost popped out.

I have been a matchmaker for several years, but this is the first time I have seen a country family raise their daughter so well. Look, she is even wearing clothes made of Shu brocade.

It must be a wealthy family, or a family with good family traditions!

Thinking of this, Wang Sanniang calmly withdrew her gaze from the few people.

Jiang Yunjin, who was sitting quietly eating cakes, breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that the gaze on him had disappeared.

She climbed down from the stool while biting the cake, and turned around to go to her grandmother.

Old Mrs. Jiang lowered her head and took the little girl to the stool beside her, and looked at her with her.

She didn't care whether the little girl could understand it or not, she just participated in it anyway.

The roster not only looks thick, but is also filled with densely packed entries.

Each page was about a girl, with not only her life story and address, but also a self-portrait. However, the portrait was a bit unrealistic, making it difficult to see her true appearance.

After reading both books, Old Mrs. Jiang was very satisfied and almost dazzled by the choices. But then she remembered something and quickly took out a tael of silver from her sleeve and quietly handed it to Wang Sanniang who was sitting next to her.

"I'm getting old and my eyesight is blurry. Does Sanniang have any good suggestions? Or is there a good family? If possible, can we arrange a meeting in the next two days?"
