The millstone immediately replied, "The tasker is clever and resourceful. He'll save me some trouble."Has the system found Wu Lianbo now"Just bound recently.""That means the two of them have already m...Shen Mei was about to faint. After saying that, she felt like her eyes were going to roll back in her head.

"Shen Media Gong, that's Su Jia Zhuang, look! Even my young lady has arranged people to welcome us."

The lotus immediately spoke, fearing that this person would faint directly.

"Where"

After hearing the news from Shen, she gritted her teeth and managed to stay conscious.

"Isn't that so See the carriage"

The lotus pointed with her finger, and at that moment there was truly a carriage parked a kilometer away.

Then let's go there right away.

"Great!"

The lotus swung its whip again, urging the horse to run faster.

Cuiflower has already been outside blowing in the cold wind for a while. Miss is very anxious, so she sent her out to greet someone, not only the matchmaker, but also Hehua Sister. It's estimated that Hehua Sister hasn't even closed her eyes during this back-and-forth trip.

So seeing two horses in the distance, she drove her carriage towards them.

"Miss Hehua, young lady, let me pick you up."

"Okay, let me take that call from Shen Mei first."

The lotus tightened the reins, halting the steed beneath her. She spoke, "

"

When Shen Mei-gong's horse stopped, she simply slid off and exclaimed:

"This is killing me, get me a carriage! My legs are swollen."

Here, let me help you into the carriage.

Cuiflower, seeing the matchmaker with her cotton-padded clothes wrinkled and disheveled, her hair tousled and her complexion haggard, immediately went up to her with great tact and helped the matchmaker into the carriage.

Lying flat in the carriage, Shen Mei felt like her body was about to fall apart. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When they arrived at the Su family's estate, Master Shen was carried out of the carriage. After he had a bowl of millet porridge and freshened up, changing into the uniform matchmaker robe provided by the government office, he finally stood before Lianyi.

"Official media reported that Shen Yan had met Miss Su."

The media spokesman bowed respectfully.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shen Media. This time things were a bit rushed and I apologize for the trouble it caused you."

An He received the hint from his young mistress and immediately placed the gold ingots, which he had prepared long ago, into the matchmaker's hands.

"This is the tea money for the matchmaker. The fee for the matchmaker will be calculated separately."

Ripple chuckled and explained.

Shēn Yán took the money and weighed it in his hand. It was a few taels. This Miss Su was indeed generous. He didn't put on any airs, and directly tucked it into his sleeve pocket. At least this made up for the bumpy journey he had endured for a whole day and night, which almost cost him his life.

When the ripples saw that the other party had accepted the money, she finally revealed her intended husband. She also requested that the basic steps of proposing (納采), inquiring about lineage (問名), and offering gifts (納吉) be finalized. After completing the period of filial piety (孝期), they would then proceed with the remaining steps: bringing back the bride (納征), setting a date for the wedding (請期), and welcoming her into the family (親迎).

Ms. Su, are you in a hurry

China Media asks a question.

“Shen Meigong, you're a matchmaker, so you should understand my feelings. After all, it’s not easy to meet a man who captures my heart. If it weren't for the filial piety period being over, I might have married him directly.”

Ripples explained calmly.

"Very well, as the young lady has said."

Shēnyán still had some impression of this Miss Sū Lián yī. After all, the other party's parents died tragically, losing both parents overnight and inheriting a fortune. She became the object of attention for all eligible bachelors in the county. However, after the period of filial piety passed, this enthusiasm subsided.

Because the other party has to observe filial piety for three years, who knows what the situation will be like after three years No young man is willing to wait that long. Of course, there are also some people with good intentions and a long-term vision, but they also have to wait until Miss Su finishes her period of mourning before asking a matchmaker to come.

He hadn't expected Miss Su to take a liking to a farmer, either. He was quite curious and wanted to see what kind of beauty this young man possessed that had captured Miss Su's heart. So he readily agreed to Miss Su's request.

This time, the Su family deployed two carriages and one ox cart. Su Wu, the head of the village, drove the ox cart, while Shen Yan sat in the lead carriage. The rear two carriages pulled the dowry gifts, and they entered Wenjia Village this way.

"Grandmother, Mother, the carriage from Su's Estate has entered the village."

Wen Jia-hong's eldest daughter bounced into the room, reporting firsthand news.

"Be good and play by yourself."

"Wén Jiāhóng patted his own daughter on the head and then turned to the village chief and said:"

"Mother, I'll go greet him."

"Alright, go!"

When the matchmaker brought the groom into the village head's main room, almost everyone in the village knew a matchmaker had visited the village head's house and were all guessing which young man the matchmaker was interested in.

Some villagers, eager to get their hands on the first batch of melons, have slowly gathered outside the village chief's courtyard. They are also exchanging information and rumors.

Shen Yan is a state-run media outlet, so there's some formality. After entering the room and paying respects, both sides went straight to business.

I am Shen Yan, the official mouthpiece of Qingshan County. You can call me Shen Meigong.

I am here on behalf of Miss Su Lianyi from Sujiazhuang to seek your daughter's hand in marriage. As a token of our sincerity, these are the gifts prepared by Miss Su.

Having finished speaking, Shen Yan looked towards An He. The latter clapped his hands, and someone brought all the things prepared in the carriage into the room.

"Miss Su is still very sincere, she just can't find live geese right now, so she changed to more practical things like fabric, pastries, jewelry, and fur. They are all useful."

Shen Yan smiled and explained.

The village head nodded after seeing the gift presented to him, he was still quite satisfied with Ms. Su's sincerity.

"Miss Su is sincere, and we are very happy. Ming'er is a good child, and he was raised by us. If our family hadn't encountered sudden misfortune, perhaps he would have been betrothed long ago."

The village head spoke slowly.

"So this is fate, Miss Su's family situation is similar to Brother Ming's, the two of them are considered to be in the same boat."

Then, the matchmaking go-between began introducing the woman's qualifications. He listed Ripples' advantages in detail and highlighted the benefits of marrying into the Su family. He even subtly suggested that if Miss Su continued studying for the exam, Ming might become an official, a truly auspicious event that would bring joy to their ancestors.

The village head listened carefully, asking about details from time to time. He wanted to understand as much as possible about Miss Su Lianyi within the limited time.

Since both parties involved in the betrothal were willing, this first step went very smoothly.

"Tomorrow I will come again, please give me Ming's birth date so that I can offer it to the ancestors of the Su family at their ancestral shrine. What do you think, Village Head Wen"

After confirming there were no major issues, Shen Yan proceeded to the next step.

"Okay, we'll be waiting for you to come and 'compare your Eight Characters' tomorrow."

The village head readily agreed.

When Shen Yan heard this, he let out a sigh of relief. He was then invited to have dinner outside. When he was slightly tipsy, he climbed onto the carriage with An He's help and returned to Sujiazhuang to report back.

But the village of Wenjiazhuang wasn't so peaceful. Some people had already started inquiring about the matchmaker who came to the village head's home, with envious and jealous tones in their words.

Wen's mother listened to what her eldest daughter brought back, and suddenly felt uneasy in her heart.ang family was putting on a show, claiming we were reluctant when he came to propose.
