Chapter 264

When Mrs. Zhao heard that the matchmaker hired by the Mao family came again, she smiled unconsciously.

"Please." Her voice was a little excited.

After a while, the servant led Matchmaker Zhang in.

"I've met Mrs. Zhao." Matchmaker Zhang still smiled.

"Please sit down." Mrs. Zhao said politely.

As soon as Matchmaker Zhang sat down, she said, "I won't beat around the bush anymore. I came here today to ask how the discussion between Madam and Mr. Zhao is going. Mr. Mao is still waiting for your letter of approval."

"As soon as my master came back that day, I told you about it." Mrs. Zhao said with a smile: "Our master and Mr. Mao have also been friends for many years, so naturally we would like to marry two surnames. We agreed on this matter. .”

"That's a good relationship!" Matchmaker Zhang said with a smile: "Please also give me the girl's birth date, Mrs. Mao is going to meet with an eminent monk from Sanqing Temple."

Sanqing Temple is a famous temple in the suburbs of Yangzhou City, and the incense is very strong.If there are rich families in the city to marry, they will find the eminent monks there to combine their horoscopes.Chen's doing this is also a fancy to the Zhao family.

Mrs. Zhao was very pleased with what she heard, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes. I have already prepared the horoscope for my little girl's birthday. You can keep it." After speaking, she handed a red purse to Matchmaker Zhang.

"Madam, don't worry, Mr. Mao and Ms. Zhao are talented and beautiful. They are a match made in heaven. These horoscopes must match!" Zhang Matchmaker said: "I'll go and answer Mrs. Mao. You can just stay at home and prepare the dowry!"

"I owe you a good word!" Mrs. Zhao laughed and sent Matchmaker Zhang out of the mansion herself.

"Go and call Fu Rong." After returning to the house, Mrs. Zhao said to the maid beside her.

Zhao Furong was embroidering in the room, but she was obviously absent-minded, holding the embroidery needle and staring at the purse in her hand in a daze.

"Girl, Madam asked you to come over." Madam Zhao's maid came over and said.

"What's the matter, Er Niang?" Zhao Furong came back to her senses.

"Matchmaker Zhang came again just now." The servant girl laughed.

"Ah!" Zhao Furong froze, her face turned red.

"Girl, Madam has agreed today! The girl is going to prepare the wedding dress!" the servant girl joked.

"A, yes?" Zhao Furong still couldn't believe it.

"Yeah. The servant girl heard it with her own ears. Matchmaker Zhang also asked for the girl's date of birth, saying that she was going to take it to Sanqing Temple!" said the servant girl.

Zhao Furong only felt that her face was about to burn.She has been thinking about this in her mind for the past two days.On the one hand, I hope that matchmaker Zhang will come to the door as soon as possible to finalize the marriage; on the other hand, I feel that I don't want to get married too soon, and I want to stay with Ama and Erniang for a few more years. After thinking about it, I hope that matchmaker Zhang will come to the door later.

After hearing the exact news, such a contradictory mind suddenly settled down.She is really going to marry Brother Mao!
"Miss, let's go, madam is waiting." Seeing her in a daze, the servant girl urged her.

"Oh, okay, let's go now." Zhao Furong touched her hot cheek and stood up.

Arriving at the main courtyard and entering Mrs. Zhao's room, Zhao Furong saw that her mother-in-law was looking at her with a smile on her face, and the rosy cheeks that had just faded rose again.

"Mother." She called shyly.

"Understood?" Mrs. Zhao smiled slightly.

"En." Zhao Furong replied softly, feeling more and more embarrassed.

"The male college should be married and the female college should be married, what's so embarrassing!" Mrs. Zhao waved at her, "Come, come to Er Niang."

Zhao Furong walked to Mrs. Zhao's side, and she grabbed her hand.

"It's been more than a year since you came back from the draft, and the marriage is finally settled. To be honest, Er Niang has been optimistic about Mingxuan for a long time. Even if he doesn't win the first prize, Er Niang is willing to make this marriage. Now, even more It's all right." Mrs. Zhao had a gratified expression on her face.

"Er Niang, I, I don't want to marry." Zhao Furong suddenly felt a little sore nose.

"Silly girl, how can you not get married?" Mrs. Zhao smiled and said softly: "Emother knows that you don't want to part with the family, and Ermiang also doesn't want to part with you. But if you keep you from marrying, it will hurt you When people grow up, they have to leave their parents and set up their own small family. As long as you live a good life, Erniang and you, Ama, will be happy."

"Er Niang." Zhao Furong buried her head in her arms, tears welled up at last.

"Silly girl, this is a happy event, what's there to cry about?" Mrs. Zhao said, her voice choked up.

Although this marriage is a good one, her daughter will leave Yangzhou as soon as she gets married, and follow her to a strange small county that she has never been to. How can she be willing?

"Emiang, I just want to cry." Zhao Furong said coquettishly.

"You should laugh! Smile happily!" Mrs. Zhao said: "The most attention-grabbing man in Yangzhou City is about to become your husband. I don't know how many people will envy him!"

"But I don't want to leave Yangzhou." Zhao Furong said.

She has been here since she was born, except for a trip to the capital because of the draft, she has never been to places other than Yangzhou City.I heard that Zibo County is quite far from Yangzhou. If she misses home, she won't be able to come back within a day or two.

Officials are appointed for three years.In other words, once she went to work with Mao Mingxuan, she would not be able to return for three years.

The thought of not seeing her family for three years made her feel even more sad.

"You've been in Yangzhou for so many years, so it's good to go out and have a look." Mrs. Zhao comforted Zhao Furong softly, "Don't forget, Mingxuan's Ama and Erniang are also in Yangzhou. No matter where he goes, , always come back and see.”

Zhao Furong hugged Mrs. Zhao tightly, as if she was leaving tomorrow.

"It's a joy to be married. Your appearance makes Erniang feel sad." Mrs. Zhao stroked Zhao Furong's head, feeling a little sadness in her heart.

When the daughter grows up, she will worry about not being able to find a good family, but if she finds a good family, it means that the daughter has to leave home to live in someone else's house.As a mother, one heart suffers from both sides.

"Emiang, do you think my horoscope and Brother Mao's horoscope will be inconsistent?" Zhao Furong asked suddenly.

"Meeting." Mrs. Zhao said: "There are so many disagreements in the world. Some of them are just excuses for refusing marriage. The Mao family is sincerely asking for marriage and will not do such a thing."

Zhao Furong was taken aback for a moment, it turned out to be a horoscope, and there were so many thoughts in it.

"Furong, don't worry. Your marriage will be smooth. Now, we are not in a hurry, but your dowry!" Mrs. Zhao said: "Although it has been since you were seven years old, my mother has been slow Slowly save up your dowry. It’s just that our family’s conditions are limited, and your dowry has not been rich all these years. Originally, two shops were prepared for you in Yangzhou City. But now you are going to take office with Mao Mingxuan. It's cumbersome. I have to discuss it with you, Ama, to add something."
