Chapter 82
"There is such a thing?" Hearing what Du Matchmaker said, Pei Jizhi was a little surprised. He was well aware of Pei Huizhao's attractive temperament, and also knew that some people wanted to marry Pei Huizhao as their daughter-in-law, but he had never thought of Yushi's mansion like this. The gate compound would be so persistent in asking Pei Huizhao to marry, it sounds like there is something hidden in it?
Thinking of this, Pei Jizhi's face darkened, she paused for a moment, and then said seriously: "This is a big matter, let Pei ask my daughter what she means, after all, it is related to her life's happiness, and Pei does not want to regret it in the future."

"Yes, yes," Matchmaker Du held back her smile and agreed solemnly. Originally, she could have refuted Pei Jizhi's words with "the words of the matchmaker ordered by her parents", but she was here for matchmaking, not to reason with people. How can people talk to their children? It's not her turn to intervene in getting along.

In addition, Pei Jizhi seems to be a person who doesn't take hard things, but what about Pei Huizhao?Now that she has got Chen Xizhi's eye, even if the good thing doesn't work out this time, there is no telling which high-ranking family will look after her in the future. If she fails to do things this time, it may be difficult to turn around in the future.

Therefore, Matchmaker Du decided to do what Pei Jizhi said for the time being, and it would not be too late for her to take action when the Yushifu was forced to do so.

Next, Matchmaker Du exchanged a few mild words with Pei Jizhi, the purpose of which was to make a good impression on Pei Jizhi, but seeing that it was getting late, Matchmaker Du got up to leave.

When passing the dining room, Matchmaker Du couldn't help but slow down, wanting to see Pei Huizhao again, but at this time Pei Huizhao had already had dinner and was talking to Pei Liuguang in the inner courtyard, so Matchmaker Du had to take With a little disappointment, she stepped over the threshold, walked down the steps, bypassed the bamboo rhyme glazed screen wall, and exited the gate of Pei Mansion.

After sending Matchmaker Du away, Pei Jizhi asked Huanyue to call Pei Huizhao to the main room. When Pei Huizhao came to the main room, Pei Jizhi was sitting on the grand teacher's chair with a serious face.

Seeing Pei Huizhao approaching, Pei Jizhi slowly asked, "When did you meet Mr. Chen from Yushifu?"

Before coming to the main room, Pei Huizhao was worried that Matchmaker Du came to Pei's mansion to propose marriage to her on Chen Xizhi's behalf, but Pei Jizhi's question just proved her guess.For a moment, Pei Huizhao felt a pang of discomfort, uneasiness, bewilderment, and helplessness all over her heart in an instant.

But at this time, she had to figure out how to answer Pei Jizhi's question, because she didn't want Pei Jizhi to know what happened in Yushifu Zhuangzi, let alone what happened on Chunxi Street in the afternoon.

Thinking of this, Pei Huizhao lowered his head slightly, and replied softly: "Yesterday, Hai'er, Liu Guang, and Mr. Huang went to the nearby Zhuangzi to play, and happened to see a farmer lying on the side of the road because he accidentally ate leeches. When the farmer was treating a disease, Mr. Chen happened to pass by and healed the farmer with the help of the child."

Having said that, Pei Huizhao raised his head, looked at Pei Jizhi, and secretly prayed that Pei Jizhi would never ask more questions.Fortunately, after hearing what Pei Huizhao said, Pei Jizhi just nodded slightly, as if he didn't hear anything unusual.

Therefore, Pei Huizhao plucked up the courage and continued: "This morning, Hai'er, Liu Guang, and Mr. Huang went to the street together, and happened to see Mr. Chen setting up a porridge shed, and there were several patients in the porridge shed. Seeing that it was Hai'er, the young master asked Hai'er to help him take a look at those patients, and the boy stayed there for a while."

Pei Huizhao's words were false and true, which properly covered up what happened at the Zhuangzi of Yushi's Mansion and what happened on Chunxi Street, and at the same time explained the possible reasons why Chen Xizhi had a good impression of her.
