After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

Something more important happened to the entire Su family.

The reason was that at the beginning of July, a matchmaker suddenly came to the Su Mansion with a valuable gift, saying that he wanted to arrange a marriage for Fu Bao, and the woman he was talking about was the second grandson of Xiao Yu, the governor of Yizhou.

Fubao is now seventeen years old, and it is indeed time for him to get married. Before that, Rong Shi had excitedly searched for him in and around Chang'an for a while.

But later, after seeing many noble ladies in Chang'an, he gave up the idea.

My family foundation is still shallow and I am just the daughter of a county magistrate. Although I have temporarily asked someone to teach me etiquette.

But there were still some shortcomings in daily gatherings. After all, I was just doing face-saving favors with these ladies from prominent families.

Not to mention, it would be totally unsuitable to discuss marriage with these families. It would be better to wait until the autumn examination next year and find a young scholar.

Therefore, this time the Su family did not agree to the matchmaker's request. They just politely returned the gifts, gave some change and sent the man away.

"It seems that our family has no contact with Governor Xiao before. Why would he come to propose marriage so suddenly?" Su Qinqi looked at Su Qinchao, who was sitting below him, and asked puzzledly.

After all, my younger brother has been in Chang'an for several years, maybe there is something to do with him?

"I don't know either. We have never had any contact. Oh, by the way, I met him once a few years ago when His Majesty summoned him to the Taiji Palace."

Su Qinchao shook his head. He didn't even talk to Governor Xiao at that time.

Moreover, on weekdays, these provincial governors only came to the capital to report on their work at the beginning of the year, and he was busy patrolling everywhere every day and had no time to contact them.

However, he later heard from the princess that this governor always loved food. At that time in the Taiji Hall, he still remembered that Governor Xiao kept asking Li Yi how to cook potatoes.

Generally speaking, people who love delicious food are not bad people, right? Su Qinchao thought of this and told Su Qinqi everything he knew.

"Let's wait and see. I'll ask someone about it in the next few days." After listening to this, Su Qinqi stroked his beard thoughtfully.

The governor of Yizhou is a third-rank official in the upper province. If his grandson has achievements and good character, he would be a good match for Fubao.

...

About half a month later, Su Qinqi sent people to Yizhou to investigate.

Before they got any news, they saw the matchmaker coming to the door again, and with her came a woman who was also familiar to Rong.

"Madam Li, please take a seat." Rong invited the woman into the house with a smile on her face.

This Madam Li was originally the wife of her husband's superior official when he was the prefect of Huzhou, that is, the wife of Governor Li of Huzhou.

Before, I had been very close to Mrs. Li because we had similar personalities, even though there was a big age difference between us.

Later, when their husband was promoted to the position of Vice Minister of Works and left, they cried reluctantly.

I didn't expect that Madam Li would come with the matchmaker sent by Governor Xiao's family. Does Governor Xiao's family also have a past relationship with Governor Li?

Rong thought secretly in her heart but did not show it on her face. She continued to smile as she asked people to serve fruit and tea.

"Since we are all acquaintances, I will not keep you in suspense. I am the matchmaker for this marriage." After everyone sat down, Mrs. Li took Rong's hand and explained the whole story in detail without any hesitation.

It turned out that the wife of Governor Xiao and Madam Li were sisters from the same clan.

Some time ago, when Mrs. Xiao went back to her parents' home to visit her relatives, she happened to meet Mrs. Li who had also just returned to her parents' home.

The two were very close friends when they were young, but they became a little estranged because one of them followed her husband to work as an official after marriage. However, they would write letters to each other and send holiday gifts every year.

So the two of them met each other suddenly by chance, and that night they left their husbands and slept together.

In bed, the two chatted about interesting things that happened in previous years and the marriages of each other's grandchildren.

Because Mrs. Li gave birth early, her grandchildren either got married long ago or have not yet grown up.

There is really no one who can match Mrs. Xiao's grandson.

Therefore, when Mrs. Xiao asked her to introduce someone later, Mrs. Li thought of Fubao, who was already seventeen years old.

Fubao is gentle, generous, well-educated, and her father is a fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of Works in Chang'an. It is considered a good match for her to be the grandson of the Xiao family.

Although Governor Xiao is a third-rank official, his son is now just a Sima of Zhongzhou, which is far inferior to him.

Therefore, Mrs. Li did not express her opinion on the spot, but said that she would first see Mrs. Xiao's grandson.

Later, when she saw the Xiao family's grandson in person, she was convinced by the child's appearance, words and behavior.

This was indeed a rare good child. Although he was the second eldest grandson, he was not spoiled. Later, she even ate the dishes that this child cooked for Mrs. Xiao.

"That's why. If you are interested, I will ask the child to come and take a look at your family." After Mrs. Li finished speaking, she picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"But what if..." Although Rong was somewhat tempted after hearing this, she couldn't make up her mind before she saw the person.

After all, it is my daughter's marriage and I cannot be careless about it.

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out. Just think of it as you coming to play with me." Mrs. Li knew what Rong was worried about and quickly interrupted her.

She really likes this couple and wants to bring them together successfully.
