Chapter 73 The Matchmaker Comes to the Door
One year has passed, and the [-]th day of the eighth lunar month is approaching. Nowadays, people with a little money in Ansui County are used to ordering some unique and delicious snacks from the shopkeeper Qi of "Youjian Restaurant" during the New Year's Eve.
In order to cope with these new year festivals, Qi Qingxi also went to the former carpenter's shop to ask the master to make many dim sum molds for the occasion.
The most suitable for this Mid-Autumn Festival must be the auspicious saying molds such as good flowers and a full moon, a happy reunion, and the must-have Mid-Autumn Festival Chang'e Flying to the Moon mold. The dim sum made are very popular.
She sent two boxes of snacks to Mrs. Guo to taste. Even Mrs. Guo, who was used to delicate pastries since childhood, couldn't help admiring them.
But before Qi Qingxi had time to wait for the customer who came to pick up the dim sum, she first waited for the matchmaker who came to the door to talk about the matchmaking.
As soon as the matchmaker entered the restaurant, she kept looking up and down, not the store, but Qi Qingxi who was helping in the hall.
Qi Qingxi didn't know the identity of the matchmaker, but she felt uncomfortable being looked at by her, so she took the initiative to ask her, "What do you want to sit down and eat?"
Aunt Osmanthus knew this matchmaker after living in Ansui County for so many years, she immediately pulled Qi Qingxi to a corner and whispered: "This is the famous Zhang matchmaker in Ansui County, I think she has been looking at you, maybe she is not here for dinner of."
Naturally, this matchmaker is not here for dinner, she is indeed here for matchmaking.
Qi Qingxi understood her reason for coming, but she opened the door for business, so it was not easy to drive people out, so she had to take the matchmaker to the backyard.
"Please take this trip, but I don't have this idea yet." Qi Qingxi said with a smile.
The matchmaker said: "Little lady, don't worry, first listen to what I said about the conditions of the family."
Qi Qingxi rushed to the front to do some work, but the matchmaker Zhang didn't intend to leave at all, and insisted on moving a stool to sit down and talk.
"You don't know, this marriage is so rare. You know Li Yuanwai's family in Dongcheng. It's Li Yuanwai whose elder brother is an official in the court. Didn't you say that you went to his house to make snacks?"
This family, Qi Qingxi, knows it all too well. The Li family in the narrow Yuanjia Road, why does someone in their Li family still have a crush on such a lowly person like her?
"Yes." Qi Qingxi responded to the matchmaker, wanting to see what kind of tricks he was trying to play.
Seeing her reply, Zhang Matchmaker went on to say: "The eldest son of their family, I don't know where I have seen you, and I have to pester the old lady at home to take you as a concubine, so I came here. Who in Ansui County doesn't like you?" Knowing that Yuan Li's family is rich, if you marry him, you will be an aunt who has no worries about food and clothing, no better than you working hard all day in this shop, this is a rare marriage."
Qi Qingxi endured the ridicule in his heart and snorted softly: "It's really rare."
Although she was not as excited and shy as matchmaker Zhang expected, she was very proud to hear that Qi Qingxi agreed with her. She knew how this little lady might not be interested in the rich and powerful Li family.
"It's just that such a rare marriage is really scary for me. The little girl is born to work hard, and I'm afraid she can't bear such a life without worrying about food and clothing."
Matchmaker Zhang shook the handkerchief in her hand and said, "It's your blessing that the eldest son of the Li family can see you, but he's just a concubine, and he doesn't want you to be a good lady, so why can't you bear it."
Qi Qingxi was amused by these words, because this matchmaker herself despises being a concubine, but she wants to speak for others to persuade others to become concubines.
She thought it was the young lady of the Li family who was thinking of some way to punish her, but now she didn't want to listen anymore.
She opened the backyard door and said to the matchmaker, "I still have things to do, so please go back."
Matchmaker Zhang has worked as a matchmaker in Ansui County for so many years, and now she has gained some fame. Now she is mostly used as a matchmaker for some dignified people in the county. Ordinary people have to politely invite her out even if they don’t want to. .
This is the first time she has seen someone who is so ignorant and dares to drive her out so unceremoniously.
But she was worried that the Li family was still waiting for her to reply, so she could only hold back her anger and said: "That is the powerful and powerful Li family in our Ansui County, you have to listen to my advice, otherwise why are you here?" Go down?"
"Why do you hang around here, just hang out like this."
A clear female voice came from outside the yard, and Mrs. Guo walked in with her daughter Ayue.
Mrs. Guo looked at the matchmaker with cold eyes, and said without anger: "Go back and tell your old lady that she is not qualified to marry the daughter of our Guangwei General's family just because she is willing to accept the Li family's daughter as a concubine."
This matchmaker had seen a lot of the world before, but she was still frightened by Guo Shi's aura, and she died in an instant. She didn't dare to say anything, and left in despair.
Seeing the matchmaker leave, Qi Qingxi hurriedly bowed to Mrs. Guo: "Thank you Madam for speaking for me today."
Mrs. Guo took her hand and clapped her hands: "The whole family doesn't talk about such vain etiquette."
In the past few months since she investigated the background of these brothers and sisters, she still didn't know how to talk to them, telling them that she was their aunt.
When the children were most helpless, their uncles and aunts never showed up. Now the children rely on their own abilities to get better and better. Suddenly, an aunt like her appeared out of nowhere and tried to take them to the capital.
Based on her understanding of the characters of the children in the past few months, it is ten to ten that she is unwilling to live a rich life with her. Her general really gave her a big problem.
But she still plans to try to tell these children her reason for coming during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Guo originally wanted to find his son to call Qi Qingxi and his siblings over for a reunion dinner, but after thinking about it, it would be more appropriate to come by himself.
But who would have thought that as soon as they walked to the alley, they heard the matchmaker brazenly say that the Li family wanted to take their girl as a concubine?
She knows about the Li family, and speaking of it, it has some connection with her family's general.
According to the general of their family, when the family suffered a sudden disaster, her father-in-law asked her mother-in-law to take her sister-in-law to Ansui overnight to join her cousin's uncle's family.
But the uncle's family not only did not take in the poor mother and daughter, but instead took away their only money and jewelry and drove them out of the county.
It was also this move that cut off the general's clues to find relatives, and caused their general to search all the neighboring provinces for more than ten years.
Now this family is still thinking about bullying her sister-in-law's daughter. She really thinks that the Li family is a vegetarian, and she has to find time to meet the powerful Mrs. Li in Ansui County.
"I don't know why Ma'am is here today?" Qi Qingxi was also curious about Guo's reason for coming.
Mrs. Guo came back to her senses and said, "I'm here today to invite you brothers and sisters to have a light meal at home on Mid-Autumn Festival."
Qi Qingxi was a little surprised, and she didn't feel how close she was to this lady's family.
Except for the young man in black from their family who took the initiative to teach Yunhui martial arts every day in the past few months, except that Miss Ayue of their family came to her every now and then to make snacks with milk that she didn't know where to find, and this Miss Ah Yue took Ah Nuan to her house to play and send this and that to Ah Nuan every three days, and this lady also came to the store occasionally...
Come to think of it, it's pretty close.
She was supposed to invite him to dinner, but now that he came to invite him in person, she really couldn't refuse his kindness.
In order to cope with these new year festivals, Qi Qingxi also went to the former carpenter's shop to ask the master to make many dim sum molds for the occasion.
The most suitable for this Mid-Autumn Festival must be the auspicious saying molds such as good flowers and a full moon, a happy reunion, and the must-have Mid-Autumn Festival Chang'e Flying to the Moon mold. The dim sum made are very popular.
