The little sister hurriedly stepped forward to take it and handed it to the dumb.

Nguyen invited the woman to sit down for tea.

Qingmu opened the invitation, looked at it for a while, and said to the mother-in-law: "Thank you for your girl Qingmu." Please reply to Miss Xia, just say that I will be on time for the meeting. ”

The woman took a sip of tea before smiling and saying goodbye.

The dumb handed over the invitation to the younger sister and took it back to the room to receive it.

Wu Shi hurriedly asked what would happen to this beggar, if all the merchant girls went.

Dumb said: "Xia Weaving's daughter did it, and some of the faces will be invited." ”

Wu Shi listened to the scenery and was overjoyed.

Just as he was about to speak, another person came at the door.

This time, it's the matchmaker.

He came to propose marriage for the dumb.

The other party is a second-rate Jin businessman, and his family background is relatively good compared to the Guo family.

However, since the Wu family started trading with the Guo family, they have befriended the nine major Jin merchants, and their horizons are naturally different; Moreover, now that the Guo family has become an imperial businessman, their morale is higher; Also, she thought that her daughter would marry into a brocade family, and she couldn't be worse than that Xie Yinyue, and she said that she wouldn't consider family affairs for the time being, so she decided to refuse.

The matchmaker was sorry, but not surprised.

Originally, she was entrusted to come, just because the family saw the prospects of the Guo family at the brocade conference, and it is estimated that Guo Qingmu will definitely be favored next, and wants to take advantage of the fact that other families have not yet acted to come to the door to propose marriage, maybe the Guo family is worried about their daughter's life, maybe they will respond to the family matter.

Who knows if it will work out in the end!

Seeing off the matchmaker, Wu came to the inner room.

Qingdu, his brother and sister-in-law and others are eating.

Wu sat down next to his daughter, helping her fan and laughing at her eating.

Qingmu smiled at her and continued to eat.

After eating, the five mothers and a daughter-in-law came to collect the dishes and chopsticks. Ruan and the younger sister made tea for everyone to drink, gossiping.

Wu told Qing dumb about the matchmaker's arrival.

She is still a little tempted, so she wants to ask what kind of person Qingmu wants to find, and she will be careful in the future. Otherwise, you can't refuse one if you can't come, and if you really miss her, you regret not coming. -- Of course, she wants to see her daughter get married.

Guo Dayou and Ruan Shi looked at Qing Due.

Ruan Shi pondered and said, "Little sister, let's inquire about ......"

Dumb didn't want to talk to them about this.

It's not that they don't want to talk to them, it's that everyone has different ideas. Poor communication.

She couldn't say a word or two about her thoughts. She wasn't used to going into long lengths about why.

But her family cares about her, and it's not good if she doesn't make it clear.

She said to Wu: "I'll talk about it in two years." ”

Wu was very entangled: "You will be eighteen in two years!" ”

Qing Du was also very entangled: "Is eighteen very old?" ”

Wu said: "It's not old, and you won't be able to find an average big boy when the time comes." Whose son didn't get married early! The undecided age is still young. But the girl's family is two or three years older than the man. Most of them don't work, and people don't like it. ”

Qingmu has already been deceived by this theory once, and this time he refuses to be fooled again.

She tried to explain: "Mother, the one who came to ask for a kiss didn't take a fancy to me. It's fancy that I can weave. We don't know them well. Wait two years and find out the details of them. Whoever is good and who is not good, do not suffer if you see it. ”

Guo Dayou immediately said: "Just follow the little sister!" ”

He glanced at his mother vaguely.

Ruan Shi also said in time: "Mother, the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married." What do you think it is? Of course, we can't compare with the princess, we can't compare with the officials, but we can't compare with the past! When the workshop was only opened last year. Aren't there a lot of people who come to the door to ask for marriage? It was from the country, and now it is from the city. Mother, you think. As long as the Guo family is out of the way, and the little sister is so capable, are you afraid that you won't find a good family? Miss Yan is not small, and she is not in a hurry; Miss Xie is also a few years older than the younger sister, although she is married, she is not in a hurry to get married; Our little sister is younger than all of them, so we don't need to worry at all. Xiaomei is right, pick carefully to be stable. ”

As he spoke, he handed Wu a look that could only be understood and could not be spoken.

looked at the second sister-in-law with admiration, thinking that she could speak.

It's still that she hasn't read a book, otherwise it's more profound.

Although the meaning of what she said just now was straightforward, what she understood was that if there is intrinsic value and extrinsic value, plus potential appreciation in the future, the age of marriage is not a problem, and the past background is not a problem!

Seeing her expression, Ruan Shi was afraid that she would not take her family affairs seriously from now on, so she hurriedly added: "But little sister, we can't delay too much, we must make a marriage before the age of twenty." ”

It was not easy for Qing Mu to get this result, so he nodded hurriedly.

Wu woke up and said, "Mother depends on you." Later, someone came to mention that their relatives and mothers returned. ”

Qingdu, he smiled, took the fan in her hand, and helped her fan the wind.

Wu enjoyed the intimacy of his daughter, and was very satisfied, because he hugged Qiao'er and sighed: "Oh! My mother really never dreamed that the Guo family would have this day-" bowed her head and told Qiao'er-"Qiao'er, you have to learn from your sister-in-law." The daughter of our old Guo family is stronger than people......"

Qiao'er said crisply: "Grandma, I learn every day!" ”

Guo Qin said dissatisfiedly: "Grandma, there is still me!" ”

Guo Jian also said loudly: "And me." ”

He felt that his sense of existence was too weak, and he was also very dissatisfied.

Wu and the others all laughed and said, "You still use people to say!" The boy is going to top the door. If grandma doesn't say it, you won't be angry? No one needs to say that you are angry, then you can be successful! ”

Guo Qin instantly felt that he was taller, and his heart for self-improvement was as hard as iron.

Everyone laughed, only Guo Dagui was sullen and not very happy.

The Guo family is good, it is easy for him to find a daughter-in-law, but it is difficult for his little sister to marry.

Men and women in this world are unjust!

At this time, Dong'er and Guo Pandi came.

Wu Shi hurriedly brought out a few babies and asked them to get down to business.

Dong'er reported to the Guo family brothers and sisters about the situation of the workshop in the west of the city, and after the Dao weaving yamen and the county government intervened, the promotion of the public machine qì was smoother, and the people trusted and thanked the Guo family.

Guo Dayou asked: "Can the word of recruitment be spread?" ”

Guo Pandi hurriedly said: "It's out." A lot of people are going to sign up on the spot. ”

Guo Dayou and Qing Du glanced at each other, with a smile in their eyes.

Guo Dayou said: "Tell them not to worry." Say we're not ready. ”

In fact, he was waiting for the imperial court's approval of the patent.

After this matter is settled, the Guo family's business will be more convenient.

Dong'er nodded in response.

They discussed some trivial matters again, and then dispersed at dusk.

Dong'er and the other two female housekeepers went back to Chengxifang with Guo Dagui, but Brother Pan stayed, saying that he wanted to talk to his dumb sister.

A few days later, a group of families such as the Zeng family, the Liu family, and the Wei family proposed to the Guo family.

The Zeng family proposed marriage for Young Master Zeng, the Liu family proposed marriage for Young Master Liu's younger brother, the Wei family proposed marriage for Wei Zhao's younger brother, and the others were all second- and third-rate brocade merchants, all of whom were rejected by the Guo family.

Then, the Fang family came to the door ceremoniously!

Yan Jipeng and Shen Yisan personally served as matchmakers, and Fang Ze proposed marriage.

The Guo family still refused, only saying that they were dumb and devoted to studying weaving, and had no intention of getting married for the time being.

Everyone knew that it was a pretext, but they couldn't think about it.

In the past few days, all businesses have been in full swing.

In Fang's home, since Fang Hanhai and his wife came, there has been an endless stream of visitors.

After the brocade conference on July 1, there was a tide of people.

On the evening of July 6, the main courtyard was again entertaining merchants.

Fang Ze did not attend, but shrunk in his own courtyard.
