But if it's not good, the blame will be placed on you, and I don't want to see you blamed by others. ”

Old Madam Murong said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just to help them be a matchmaker, besides, I think their family has a heavy burden now, if you can marry the two girls, you can also reduce some of the burden, after all, our two families are world friends, you can't watch them have difficulties, just help them, it's just a gesture." My mother knew that you were still young at that time, and I didn't have much impression of them, and I didn't want to be nosy, but sometimes one more friend is one more way out, and no one can guarantee that you will be lucky for a lifetime, maybe when you also need their help, don't you say? ”

Listening to her words, Murong Feng nodded and said, "Okay then." ”

Then he told Old Madam Murong about a few people, saying that these people are all in good condition, and the son's character is also very good, and he is also the same age.

Old Madam Murong said happily: "Then you can choose the best one among them, and then help your mother find a matchmaker to ask and see if people are willing to do this." ”

Murong Feng nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, you wait for my good news!" After that, he hired a well-spoken matchmaker to go to the house of the son he said to propose.

This man's family surname is Song, and he is also a wealthy family in the local area, and his family is in the timber business. This Song Gongzi is honest and loyal, never goes out to spend time drinking, does not keep pets and makes some fox friends and dog friends, usually just attends some business occasions with his father, and learns to do business with his father.

But he was not a particularly intelligent person and was relatively fat. But because the family has money, it does not affect others to come to his house to propose marriage, but Song Gongzi's vision is relatively high, and he can't look down on ordinary women, so he must have good looks, virtuous people, and good character, so he has not married until now, and he is already 23 years old.

When the matchmaker went to propose, it was Song Gongzi's mother who received her in person, and she heard that it was a young lady surnamed Chu who came to propose, and she was a little confused, and she didn't know which one was surnamed Chu, because none of the people who could be called by name here had the surname Chu.

The matchmaker explained to her, saying that the Chu family was a good friend of the Murong family, and Murong Feng was the son-in-law of the Ye family, and the Chu family was also in business, doing silk cloth business, and opened a new shop here.

Hearing that it was Murong Feng's old acquaintance, Mrs. Song became a little interested, and she said to the matchmaker: "That's it, I'll inquire about it first, and then I'll call you back, what do you think?" ”

The matchmaker is an experienced person who knows the meaning of this sentence, and she is not too anxious, but said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll go back and wait for news first." Then she went back.

After she left, Mrs. Song told Master Song about this matter, and Master Song listened and said, "I have heard about this matter, and I also went to the banquet when the Chu family's silk village opened." ”

When Mrs. Song heard this, she immediately asked, "How is it, is his cloth village big?" Do you have deep pockets? How are people? ”

Master Song shook his head and said, "It's not good, the cloth village is not big, it's at the crossroads in the east of the town, the former grain and oil store." However, he seems to have a good relationship with the Ye family's son-in-law, Murong Feng calls him uncle, and he is quite polite to him. At this point, maybe he is worth continuing to date, but it is a bit risky to marry him. ”

Mrs. Song nodded and said, "So that's the case, why don't you observe it again, inquire about it, and see what their family is like, how their financial and material resources are, and how their daughter's conduct is?" Wait until you inquire clearly, it's not too late, and don't refuse right away, do you think it's okay? ”

Master Song nodded and said, "That's what I mean, then I'll go and ask." Then he went and inquired.

But because the Chu family had just moved in, there were few people who knew about them, and the only way to ask them about their situation was to find Murong Feng, but since Murong Feng had a good relationship with the Chu family, he would definitely not say bad things about him, and in the end, Master Song didn't ask about anything.

He said to Mrs. Song: "I haven't heard any useful news, I think it's better to meet directly, the two families sit down and have a good talk, if the two of them fancy each other, it's nothing to talk about marriage, even if the Chu family can't do it, after all, there is still the Ye family, we can't push this marriage when we look at the face of the Ye family, otherwise, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of Murong Feng?" Now the Ye family's business is in Murong Feng's hands, and it is not good for us to offend him. ”

Mrs. Song nodded when she heard this, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, and you can do whatever you say." Then she sent someone to find the matchmaker and told her what they thought.

The matchmaker said happily: "Okay, okay, I should meet each other, then I'll go back and tell them." After that, she told Murong Feng about the Song family's attitude.

Murong Feng told her to tell the Ji family about this matter directly, and the Ji family thought about it after listening to it, and discussed it with Chu Zongren again, and then they set a date to meet in the restaurant.

When Chu Xiaonan and Chu Xiaobei heard that Song Gongzi had agreed to meet them, they were very happy and rushed to see him. Ji said: "The two of you can only go to one, don't fight, let's go to Xiaobei, Xiaobei is older." ”

Chu Xiaonan was unhappy when he heard this, and said: "We are only one year old, who will go is different, I want to go too." ”

Chu Xiaobei said: "I'm my sister, of course I should go." ”

Chu Xiaonan said: "What kind of sister is one year old!" And the two of them quarreled.

Ji Shi was troubled by the two of them, and said: "That's it, you two draw lots, whoever wins will go." The one who loses is not allowed to quarrel anymore, otherwise he will marry Murong Feng immediately. ”

After listening to her words, Chu Xiaonan and Chu Xiaobei both agreed, and then they tore up a few notes, some with the word "go", some without words, and then crumpled them into a ball and threw them on the table.

Chu Xiaonan's eyes widened when he picked it, looking for something that looked like it had words, for fear that he wouldn't be able to draw it, and Chu Xiaobei was the same. But the note looked the same, and it was a matter of luck. Ji Shi saw that the two of them had drawn it, and asked them to open it at the same time, and finally Chu Xiaonan drew the note "Go", and she was happy
