"Yuanshan is Jingshui's eldest brother, and you are my in-laws, so we are a family. I have a few girls with good conditions here. I have already said hello to them. Their families have good family traditions. Compared with the matchmaker introduction, He is much more reliable. When Yuan Shan comes back tonight, tell him to come to my house to see us tomorrow morning, and remember to make Yuan Shan dress neatly."

Yan Xia has not told Wang Yuanshan about the matter since he has not encountered it in the past two days.

"Ah? A girl from the town? Say goodbye! The conditions are too good. My family is far away in the mountains. It's not suitable for me! We can just find a girl from the village. The marriage must be a good match. Otherwise, she will be wronged by marrying into my family."

Xu Chunxia knew herself. Although her family's life was much better, she was not worthy of marrying a girl from the town, so she politely rejected Yan Xia.

"After Yuanshan gets married, I will let him be the manager. After all, this position is vacant. Rather than letting outsiders come, it is better to give it to Yuanshan. He is Jingshui's biological brother. We are a family, so Yuanshan's salary will be paid in the future. It's going to go up, about three taels a month. This monthly money is worthy of them. Mom, don't shirk it. Tomorrow you and Yuanshan come to my house to see us first. If it's suitable, you can find it anyway. There is no news from the matchmaker."

Earning three taels a month is not low in the town.

Some shopkeepers only earn 20 taels a month.

Sure enough, Xu Chunxia was moved when she heard this.

The two chatted about this matter for more than half an hour. When Yan Xia left Wang's house with Jing Shui, Xu Chunxia was already thinking about what to wear tomorrow.

A quarter of an hour later,

Yan Xia drove away from Baihua Village in a carriage.

The wooden wheels made a "creep" sound on the rugged path. Yan Xia sat outside the carriage, holding a whip and looking at the scenery.

Since he didn't take a nap at noon, Jingshui lay half in the carriage and took a short rest.

The gentle wind blows gently over the rice fields, making a rustling sound and a golden color to the eyes.

The autumn harvest is coming soon, and the rice in the fields has already matured.

Rice ears bent their heads and swayed in the wind.

There is a stream on the left side of the path. It has no end and is long but narrow. The water is crystal clear and gurgling, with ripples blown by the wind.

Because the path was uneven, the carriage was very slow. When it slowly reached the main road, Yan Xia waved his whip.

"Crack--" The riding whip made a crisp sound, and the horse became faster after being frightened.

Driving further and further away, the carriage kept running, until the smoke rising from the villages passing by, until the sunset covered the sky and imprinted on the river.

In the evening, Yan Xia arrived at Shuangqiao Town.

The guard guarding the city gate only glanced at Yan Xia and let him go.

The carriage arrived at the door of his house smoothly, and Xiao Ji stood waiting in front of the door.

"Auntie, Jingshui, you are finally back -"

"The meal is ready, waiting for you to come back to eat."

The moment Xiao Ji saw Yan Xia, the corners of his mouth raised even more.

"Silly girl, aren't you tired from standing? Just wait at home." Yan Xia cursed with a smile.

She and Jing Shui got out of the carriage, handed the carriage to the concierge, and then followed Xiao Ji in.

As soon as I walked to the corridor into the courtyard, I smelled the aroma of rice.

Yan Xia sniffed.

My stomach started growling.

"Auntie, today the kitchen made your favorite roast chicken with chestnuts."

"Really? Then I have to walk faster." September is coming soon, and it is indeed the season for eating chestnuts.

Yan Xia was so greedy for this bite.

She quickened her pace and walked to the second courtyard. The family members were all back, and everyone was sitting in their seats waiting for them.

After the two sat down, the maid held a basin and waited for them to wash their hands, and then the family began to eat.

The first thing Yan Xia picked up with his chopsticks was chestnuts. The chestnuts here were not big, a bit like modern wild chestnuts. You could fit two into one mouthful.

When you bite into it, it is sweet and soft, and the aroma of chicken and soup penetrate into the chestnut meat. The two are subtly combined, sweet and salty, salty and fragrant. The taste spreads on the tip of your tongue, and it is so delicious.

Yan Xia narrowed her eyes unconsciously.

Then, she picked up another piece of chicken.

Contrary to the chestnuts, the chicken is so stewed that it falls off the bones when you bite it lightly, and the oil is absorbed by the chestnuts, so the chicken does not taste greasy at all.

Yan Xia ate most of this dish alone.

She finished three bowls of rice before she stopped.

"Ouch, you're holding me back, Xiaoji, come here and help me into the house and lie down. I won't go for a walk today. I can't walk anymore."

Yan Xia's belly bulged high, like a pregnant woman who was four or five months pregnant.

After returning to the house, she took out a book and leaned on the beauty's couch to read it slowly. There were many candles lit in the house, making it bright.

When her stomach didn't feel so uncomfortable, she went to take a bath. Today's bathtub was filled with flower petals, which she carefully washed one by one. There were absolutely no bugs hiding in it. After soaking for half an hour, her whole body was covered with flowers. Smell by the fragrance of flowers, Yan Xia's cheeks turned red. She put on her pajamas and fell asleep on the bed.

Soon, night falls.

Stars filled the sky.

Everyone in the Yan family fell into a deep sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright.

"Xiao Ji——" After Yan Xia woke up, she stretched, sat on the bed and called Xiao Ji's name.

"Auntie, you're up. I'll bring you water to wash up right now." Xiaoji heard the voice and immediately opened the door and replied.

"There's no rush, you go to the cabinet first to find something for me to wear today, something more festive."

Today, we have to match the two parties, and Yan Xia feels that she is no different from the matchmaker.

Of course I want to dress more festively.

"Okay, Auntie, would this pomegranate red blouse match the floor-length floral skirt?" Xiao Ji was very fast. She walked to the back room, opened the cabinet door, put together a dress and asked Xiang Yanxia.

Yan Xia heard and looked.

She shook her head.

"It's too gorgeous, no, I'm not the protagonist today. Isn't there a begonia red Tuanjin floral spring shirt in the cabinet? Just wear that one. It's slightly cool in the morning and it's not too hot to wear. There's a lotus root colored thin shirt underneath. Cover your skirt with a moire gauze shirt, take it off when it gets hot at noon, it’s festive and dignified, and it won’t steal the limelight.”

Yan Xia pointed with her finger as she spoke, for fear that Xiao Ji would not be able to find it.

"Hey, I saw it." Xiao Ji took out the clothes Yan Xia asked for, put them on the bed, and helped her get dressed.

"Auntie, these emerald green shoes don't match. How about I change them to black gold ones?"

After putting it on, Yan Xia was about to get out of bed, but Xiao Ji stopped her and suggested changing to a pair of shoes.

There is an old saying that goes, red and green match shit.

Yan Xia also felt eyesore when she saw the green shoes.

Yesterday it was fine with plain clothes.

If it matches the red color I'm wearing today, it would be so ugly that I cry.

"Okay, go get it." She said, and Xiaoji immediately stood up and went to the inner room.

Yan Xia's clothes and shoes are all in the inner room. There are three cabinets, two shoe cabinets and a box of jewelry. The shoe cabinets are full of her shoes, and Xiaoji's three pairs of shoes are stuffed in the bottom corner. .
