Chapter 304 The matchmaker comes to visit
Xibao nodded and just sat down, planning to eat something to fill her stomach. After all, she had gone to the court too early and had no time for breakfast.
It's almost lunch time when I get back, so I just eat two snacks and wait for everyone to have lunch together.
Just then, the guard outside the door came over and told Old Lady Su that several of the best matchmakers in the capital had come to the mansion.
Su Muyao's eyes lit up when she heard this. It seemed like something exciting was about to happen.
Hehe, even though it’s my big brother’s turn to be the one having fun it doesn’t stop me from enjoying the show.
I thought that my eldest brother should marry a young lady at this age.
When Old Lady Su heard this, she waved her hand and asked all the matchmakers to come in.
The only characteristic of these matchmakers is that they all have a black mole around their mouth.
Su Muyao was really surprised and was very curious whether the mole was glued on or grew on its own?
The little hand sitting on the sofa beside her was about to move, but then she thought that she was a little princess after all and should not be so unreasonable.
"Madam, today I am here to discuss marriage with the third young lady of the Xue Mansion. Here is the portrait for you to see.
This third young lady is a famous beauty far and wide, and she is so beautiful in her showmanship. "
After the matchmaker said this, she handed the portrait in her hand to Old Mrs. Su.
Old Mrs. Su looked at the portrait and found that she was indeed a beautiful young lady.
Then he handed the portrait to Su Mulin and said, "Look at it, what's the point of just looking at it. Even if you like it, there's nothing you can do if you don't like it."
After Old Lady Su said this, the matchmakers next to her became anxious and quickly handed the portraits in their hands over.
"Madam, this is the young lady from the Gu family in East City. She is not only beautiful but also good at singing and dancing. It seems that she and the eldest master are a perfect match."
Another matchmaker who looked younger pushed the matchmaker next to her, who had not yet finished speaking, aside.
"Forget it. The girl from the Gu family you introduced to me, let alone whether she is pretty or not, is notoriously vicious.
You can't lie just because you are given a lot of money, otherwise you will be beheaded."
The two matchmakers are somewhat related and have some friendship with each other, but they have never gotten along well.
"What are you talking about? That's good. How can a man so short be worthy of such a tall champion?
Bah, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself."
"Okay, okay, I say you two stop arguing. Indeed, the two people you introduced may have good family backgrounds and looks.
But there are some shortcomings, why don't you go back first!"
The one who spoke was another matchmaker who was a little older. She took out a pile of portraits of beautiful women.
Stuff these portraits directly into Su Mulin's arms.
Then he said to the old lady, "Old lady, why don't you ask the other matchmakers to go back? You don't know that I am the biggest matchmaker in the capital.
I was the matchmaker for the sons and daughters of high-ranking officials. How could a top scholar like him marry those whose families are not officials? Don't you agree?
The ones I brought here today are all young ladies from the ministers’ families in the court.
We guarantee that each of them is a young lady trained in a prominent family, and none of them are bad, including a young lady from a third-rank official's family.
There is also the only granddaughter of the Lord of Rites, and the eldest daughter of the fourth rank master's family..."
When the other matchmakers heard that it was Wang Po, they were surprised. Wang Po was one of the best matchmakers in the capital.
As long as she is involved, there is really no place for other matchmakers.
Sometimes they don’t understand it either, they are just older than them.
If she had started the matchmaking business a few years earlier, why would those dignitaries trust this old lady Wang?
Although everyone has some resentment in their hearts, after all, they will meet each other sooner or later.
Sometimes, when Mrs. Wang was too busy, she would recommend some work to them.
So no matter how many complaints you have in your heart, you still have to be polite and call her "old sister".
Xi Bao was really frightened by the enthusiasm of these people, and kept winking at Su Muyao.
I want my younger sister to save me.
But my eyes were almost twitching, and my little sister was sitting on the sofa next to me, holding her face and watching happily (~_~;)
Only at this moment did he realize that his little sister would never help him, and he was enjoying watching the show.
"Grandma, I really don't want to talk about marriage so soon. I'll make plans in two years. What do you think?"
After saying that, he looked at his grandmother with anticipation, thinking that he could no longer rely on his sister.
I can only hope that my grandma can save me.
The fact is that he is a man but is surrounded by old women.
The old women held on to their arms tightly.
It's really too scary. If I had known this earlier, I would have gone back to my room and hid.
Old Mrs. Su looked at her eldest grandson's face full of resistance, and finally sighed and said she had to take it slow.
“Listen to me, everyone. My eldest grandson has just become the top scholar and wants to move up a level before considering marrying a young wife.
Otherwise, if this young daughter-in-law marries into the family, my eldest grandson will be busy with things outside all day long, wouldn't he neglect her?"
After saying this, the other matchmakers also had a rough idea in their minds.
It seems that this top scholar still wants to focus on his career for the time being, but he has to keep these portraits first no matter what.
This way I can have an explanation when I return.
"Well, old lady, take a look at these portraits and let me know if you find any that you like.
I will go back first, old lady. Sorry for disturbing you today, haha."
After Mrs. Wang said this, everyone else nodded and said goodbye to Old Lady Su.
They are not stupid. This is the residence of a young princess, and they cannot pester like they would in other residences.
Everyone knows the reputation of the young princess and everyone is afraid of her. If I were to act like a shrew and stay in the princess's mansion, I would let the top scholar choose my wife.
When the time comes, you will end up making things worse and you will be the one who suffers.
"Okay, I'll take a look then, and if I see anything I can help, I'll let you know."
After everyone exchanged a few words of greeting, they left the house.
But what every matchmaker told others was almost the same.
It is said that the top scholar wants to get promoted to a higher position before discussing marriage.
It was also said that the top scholar had seen the portrait, and the old lady had kept the portrait.
Although the top scholar doesn't want to talk about marriage now, the daughter of the rich still has a chance.
This made the hosts, who had spent a lot of money to hire matchmakers, very happy.
Everyone dreams of their daughter being noticed by the number one scholar and becoming his wife.
That would be someone from the Imperial Master's Mansion, and his status in the court would be raised by then.
Su Muyao ate melons and watched the show, and even curled her lips after watching it.
To be honest, these matchmakers are not as persistent as I imagined them to be. They are really boring.
