Chapter 103 Don't Agree to Marry Zhao Sheng'an Yet
In the past, she acted as a matchmaker for girls in the surrounding villages, but rarely for young men or scholars in the town.
This time, because she was helping Zhao Taohua find a match, she felt more confident.
"Thank you, Grandma You. Please give me their names and birth dates. I will get back to you after I have read them."
After saying that, Zhao Taohua took out twenty large coins from her bosom and handed them to Matchmaker You.
Zhao Taohua takes her marriage very seriously. The other person is the one she will spend her whole life with, so she must choose a suitable one.
He doesn't need to be too outstanding, but he also can't have too many flaws. He just needs to be decent and able to spend the long years to come peacefully with her.
This was the first time that Matchmaker You had ever seen someone give her twenty large coins in a red envelope just for the man's name and birth date.
Peach Blossom is a generous and straightforward girl!
Matchmaker You smiled so much her eyes narrowed into slits as she handed Zhao Taohua what she wanted.
"Grandma You will wait for your message. If you take a fancy to any of them, just tell Grandma You."
After finishing her tea, Matchmaker You took her leave.
Shen Ming had previously seen Matchmaker You heading towards Zhao Taohua's house in the herb field, and immediately realized that Matchmaker You had come to propose marriage for Zhao Taohua.
Could it be that he has found the kind of person that Peach Blossom Sister is looking for?
When he followed, he heard the matchmaker introduce four people to Zhao Taohua in one go.
Immediately, Shen Ming felt a sense of crisis. Would Zhao Taohua choose one of the four of them?
Should he confess his feelings to Zhao Taohua now?
Shen Ming leaned against the wall of the Zhao family compound, his face terribly gloomy.
Suddenly, a sweet voice came from above his head: "What have you been doing standing outside my yard wall for so long?"
Shen Ming looked up and met the eyes of the fungal mother spirit.
The mother of the fungus had only been at the Zhao family's house for two days, and in order to make a good impression on Zhao Taohua, she was very attentive to the security of her home.
Shen Ming saw that it was the Fungus Mother Spirit and left without saying anything, leaving the Fungus Mother Spirit alone, still perched on the wall, puzzled.
"What was he doing leaning against our yard wall for so long?"
I still couldn't help but complain.
The durian spirit came over: "Sister Fungus, this happens all the time."
However, I noticed that every time Matchmaker You came to our house, he would lean against the outside of our courtyard wall for a while.
But don't worry, he won't come in and steal anything from us.
The mother spirit let out an "oh" and jumped back to the ground. No wonder the other four spirits in the house clearly felt that Shen Ming had been leaning against the courtyard wall for a long time without making any moves. It turned out that they were used to it.
Shen Ming walked out from beside the Zhao family's courtyard wall, his brows furrowed as he pondered what would happen if he confessed his feelings to Zhao Taohua now and she refused to come near him again.
However, he was conflicted. She often held his hand and was affectionate with him. Did she like him a little?
Just as he was about to walk towards the medicinal herb field, he suddenly heard Zheng's voice from ahead:
"Matchmaker You, you're a lifesaver! I really have a favor to ask of you!"
When the matchmaker saw that it was Madam Zheng, she smiled and asked:
"For the sake of your family's Sheng'an's marriage?"
However, I helped your Sheng'an with so many arrangements before, but your Sheng'an was unwilling, saying that he wasn't in a hurry..."
Madam Zheng quickly pulled her aside and explained, "That's because the person he likes wasn't of marriageable age last year, but will be this year."
This kid kept it a secret from me very well; I only found out last year.
"I've noticed you've been going to Peach Blossom's house a lot lately. I'm afraid if I don't ask you to propose marriage for my son Sheng'an, Peach Blossom will marry someone else!"
Upon hearing this, the matchmaker's eyes widened: "Your Sheng'an likes peach blossoms?"
Your Sheng'an has a good eye; even though Taohua hasn't fully blossomed yet, you can already tell she'll definitely be a beauty in the future.
In addition, she has many skills, is beautiful, can make money, and is kind-hearted and helpful. You can't find such a good wife even with a lantern!
Okay, since you put it that way, I'll go back and talk to Peach Blossom for you.
I also have your Sheng'an's birth date and time; I'll send it to Taohua right away.
Although your two families live close by, as neighbors, Peach Blossom is such an outstanding and resourceful girl.
Finally, I can't guarantee whether Peach Blossom will choose your Sheng'an.
Zheng nodded repeatedly.
Marriage is all about mutual consent; if you don't find someone you like, there's nothing you can do about it.
Shen Ming stood not far away, and his earlier feeling was indeed correct; Zhao Shengan's gaze towards Peach Blossom Sister was filled with admiration.
Now, Matchmaker You is going to help Zhao Shengan find a husband for Peach Blossom Sister. Shen Ming frowned, his mood even heavier than before.
The mother spirit sensed someone leaning against the wall outside her yard again, jumped onto the wall and saw that he had returned.
Zhao Taohua never expected that the matchmaker, You, who had just left, would return.
She has no spiritual energy in her body right now, so she can't directly calculate whether the four people's birth dates clash with her own. However, she can go to the shops of Dou, Zhang, and Yun in town later to see what their faces look like.
"Peach Blossom, Grandma You forgot to give you one more birth date and time."
This is the birth date and time of the child born next door, Sheng'an.
Zhao Taohua looked at the birth date and time given to her by Matchmaker You and asked in surprise, "Brother Sheng'an?"
She had always regarded Zhao Shengan as an older brother, but she never expected that the matchmaker would now propose to her.
Matchmaker You said, "Your two families live close by and grew up together since childhood, you've always been inseparable."
Even after I marry into the family, it'll only be a wall separating me from my parents' home, so I can come back anytime to visit them.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Taohua felt that Zhao Shengan seemed to be a good option as well.
Zhao Shengan has a good appearance; he is a kind person and very hardworking.
Now, I'm raising livestock at home, and following her advice, my chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs are all doing quite well.
However, she still needed to have her and his birth charts checked again.
Also, she and Zhao Shengan had only exchanged a few words before and didn't have much contact. She wondered what it would be like if they spent more time together.
She will investigate these things in the future.
"Thank you, Grandma You, I understand."
This time, Matchmaker You really left.
Outside the courtyard wall, Shen Ming overheard their conversation and was extremely anxious: Had Peach Blossom Sister agreed to marry Zhao Sheng'an, as agreed by Matchmaker You?
As he walked out from the courtyard wall, watching the departing figure of Matchmaker You, he couldn't wait for her to help him propose marriage to Zhao Taohua!
Just as the mother was about to close the courtyard gate, Shen Ming reached out and pushed it open, saying, "I'm looking for Sister Peach Blossom."
"???"
The mother spirit hesitated for a moment, but still let him in.
Zhao Taohua carefully collected the birth dates and times of all five people and was about to leave when she lifted the windproof curtain in the main room and was met by Shen Ming.
"Brother Shen Ming, what happened?"
Zhao Taohua looked into Shen Ming's eyes, which were filled with panic and urgency. He grabbed her hands and held them tightly.
This was the first time Zhao Taohua had seen Shen Ming take her hand on his own initiative, and she felt a lot of spiritual energy being transmitted into her body through their skin.
She was just worried about not having any spiritual energy to use!
“Peach Blossom Sister, I…I have something to tell you, you…you shouldn’t agree to marry Zhao Sheng’an yet.”
Shen Ming leaned down and looked into Zhao Taohua's eyes, his gaze filled with anxiety and worry.
His voice trembled slightly with urgency!
