The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei
Chapter 150: Choosing a Wife
In the quiet garden.
Princess Pingyang was discussing the marriage of Yan Shuang with matchmaker Zhou, and she felt reassured by the several business cards on the table.
After all, with Yan Shuang's qualifications and family background, these six women from official families can be considered good matches for her, but Princess Pingyang does not want to treat her own children badly and wants to pick the best among these six.
Matchmaker Zhou was an expert in this field. She could tell Princess Pingyang's intention just by looking at her slightly hesitant expression.
She smiled and said, "Princess! I wonder if you are interested in Zhao Fangqi, the eldest daughter of Duke Anguo?"
"Zhao Fangqi? Duke Anguo?"
Princess Pingyang thought about it and recalled the appearance of Duke Anguo Zhao Fangheng in her mind. She could not help but nodded and said, "I still approve of Duke Anguo's character and family background."
"Then why not..."
Before Matchmaker Zhou could finish her words, Princess Pingyang raised her hand to interrupt her. She turned to Song Ziyu and said, "Ziyu! I remember that you and Zhao Fangqi seemed to be close friends. What do you think about this matter?"
Song Ziyu was suddenly startled, but his expression remained calm.
She stood up and bowed before she began to talk: "Mother! Ziyu and Fang Qi did have some interactions when they were young, but they have had little contact since Ziyu married her husband. Ziyu still remembers a lot of things from their youth, but as for the past... Ziyu has no news at all."
Song Ziyu was not stupid. Princess Pingyang asked her opinion for no reason. This was obviously putting her on the spot. It seemed like she was asking for her opinion, but in fact she was trying to criticize her.
According to the order of seniority, Yan Shuang should have been married first, but because Yan Ping accidentally saved her, the two of them had physical contact, and the two families had to become relatives in order to save face.
Although she was unwilling in her heart, this kind of silent confrontation was inevitable in the wealthy mansion.
Princess Pingyang heard Song Ziyu's words and nodded slightly, "I see. It seems I misunderstood."
Sensing that the atmosphere was a little off, Matchmaker Zhou quickly said, "Princess! Zhao Fangqi is not only outstanding in appearance, but also talented. She is truly a rare and good woman."
"Well, it's good indeed. But marriage is a big matter, and we need to consider it carefully."
Princess Pingyang nodded slightly, then turned to look at Song Ziyu and said, "Ziyu! Do you have any other opinions?"
"this......"
Song Ziyu was secretly shocked. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said softly, "Mother! Ziyu believes that in addition to family background and talent, character and morality are also very important. After all, husband and wife need to tolerate and understand each other."
Princess Pingyang nodded and agreed, "That's true. So, in your opinion, what do you think of Zhao Fangqi's character and moral integrity?"
"Come again?" Song Ziyu was speechless for a moment, but as someone who had lived in the inner courtyard for a long time, she also understood the reason well.
She sorted out her thoughts a little and said loudly: "Zi Yu didn't know her well, but I have the impression that she has a gentle personality and is kind to others. As for her moral character, I haven't heard of anything wrong with it."
After hearing this, Princess Pingyang had something in mind.
She turned to matchmaker Zhou and said, "Please find out more about Zhao Fangqi's details. If there are no other problems, this matter can be settled."
Matchmaker Zhou quickly responded, "Don't worry, my lady. I will do my best to make sure you are satisfied."
Unexpectedly! Just as Zhou the matchmaker finished her words, she heard the maid outside the door say loudly: "Young Master!"
Before the maid could tell him, Yan Shuang quickly entered the central hall. The master bowed to Princess Pingyang and said, "My son greets mother. How is your health these days?"
"Good, very good. Seeing you sweating all over, I'm afraid you and Shi'er have been going crazy again!"
Princess Pingyang stroked her hands as she spoke, "Come here, bring a pot of ginger tea to the young master."
The maid who was waiting at the door quickly handed over a cup of ginger tea.
In order to reassure Princess Pingyang, Yan Shuang drank it without hesitation.
"My concubine greets you, big brother. It seems that Shi'er has caused trouble for you again." Song Ziyu said with a slight bow.
"Greetings, young master." Matchmaker Zhou also responded.
"Yeah!~"
Yan Shuang nodded at the two of them, then looked at Song Ziyu and said, "Sister-in-law, please sit down! No need to be polite in front of your mother. It's good for men to be a little naughty. Shi'er is much more well-behaved than I was when I was a child."
"When you were a kid?"
Pingyang Jun looked a little surprised, and teased with a grudge: "Do you know what you looked like when you were a child?"
Matchmaker Zhou stood in the hall somewhat awkwardly. After all, she didn't dare to sit down since Yan Shuang didn't let her.
Fortunately, Princess Pingyang saw through Yan Shuang's thoughts and raised her hand, saying, "Please take a seat, Zhou Bingren. This is my son, Yan Shuang, the eldest son of Marquis Ding'an, whose courtesy name is Kejun."
"Mr. Yan is indeed a philtrum..."
Before Zhou the matchmaker could finish her words, Yan Shuang stopped her coldly, "Zhou Bingren! You are in the matchmaking business, you should know the importance of some words."
Matchmaker Zhou was shocked when she heard this. Thinking back to the words "the best among men" which she had not yet uttered, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
If this sentence was said by ordinary people, it would not be a big deal. It would just be regarded as a compliment to the younger generation.
But such words cannot appear in noble families like the Yan family and the Ding'an Marquis Mansion.
Realizing that she had just said something wrong, Matchmaker Zhou begged for mercy, "It's my fault. Thank you, Master Yan, for your advice."
"It's not a suggestion, but I'm afraid that Zhou Bingren will say some outrageous words in my Yan Mansion and spread them to the officials, and we will all lose face."
Listening to Yan Shuang's sarcastic remarks, even the shrewd matchmaker Zhou was a little overwhelmed.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Princess Pingyang and begged for mercy: "Princess! I think Master Yan has something to do, so I will take my leave first."
"Okay, I'll have to trouble Zhou Bingren this time."
Princess Pingyang nodded and instructed: "Contact the Duke of Anguo first to see what he means."
"The princess is waiting for good news from me." Matchmaker Zhou bowed as she spoke, saluted the three people, and left Jingyuan dejectedly.
The night in Bianjing can be said to be a gathering of all the wealth in the world.
It was late at night, but the lights were still on in the streets, and Louwailou, one of the three famous buildings, was crowded with people.
In the underground secret room of Louwailou, a masked man sat in the first seat in an inviolable manner. Under the dim light, he looked down upon the other party for a moment.
"Have the people been sent out?" the man asked coldly.
In the dim secret room, a voice suddenly responded: "Reporting to the host! The matter has been investigated almost completely. It should be her who did it. People have been sent out."
"I must kill him this time. He dared to challenge Louwailou's bottom line. Let him see who is in charge of this world."
"Yes!~" A voice responded in the dim secret room.
