Listen to my heart in the morning and eat melons in the afternoon.

"Wait, I seem to have seen the girl in this portrait before." Tian Xiwen pulled out the portrait.

When matchmaker Zhu Yu saw the portrait that Tian Xiwen pulled out, she was surprised at first, then looked embarrassed.

The girl in the portrait is the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Li family.

"Mr. Tian, ​​this family's standards for choosing a husband are a bit high." Zhu Yu finally mustered up the courage to say this.

"Oh? What kind of standards are they? Tell me about them." Lin Yunzhi became interested when he heard Zhu Yu say this.

"Madam Tian, ​​the Li family is a noble family, and several of their sons hold important positions in Xijing. Almost all of their girls have married men who have gone to Xijing, or will be able to go to Xijing in the future." Zhu Yu stated the Li family's requirements.

"Xiwen will be able to take part in the spring imperial examination in three years. With his ability, it won't be difficult for him to pass the imperial examination. He should be a good match for the Li family, right? Besides, my husband is now a third-rank official, which is higher than many officials in Xijing." Lin Yunzhi felt that the Li family was difficult to deal with and had already decided not to marry into the family.

After hearing what the matchmaker said, Tian Xiwen gave up the idea in his mind.

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, does my eldest brother like the girl in the portrait? Do you want to help them? ]

Daju: [Forget it. The Li family is a noble family with many rules and a lot of airs. Besides, the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Li family already has someone she likes.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Then why hasn’t she gotten married yet? ]

Daju: [My family doesn’t agree. ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [The man has a low family background? ]

Daju: [His family background is not low, but it is not a noble family. He is only a fifth-rank official in Xijing. ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [That is to say, the Li family only wants to marry into aristocratic families. ]

Daju: [That’s right.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Then it’s best for our family not to get involved with this kind of family. We don’t want a girl who already has someone in her heart. Qingchen, look at these portraits, are there any good girls? ]

Daju: [Turn them over one by one for me to see. ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Just wait.]

Tian Xiaoxiao came close to Tian Xiwen: "Brother, let me take a look."

"Okay, Xiaoxiao, help your brother choose one." Tian Xiwen thought, it's better to let his sister do it. After all, the fairy beast beside his sister knows the secrets of these families.

Tian Xiaoxiao picked them up one by one: [Qingchen, look quickly! ]

Daju: [This won’t work. The girl from the Mu family has a hidden illness, and it will be difficult for her to have children in the future.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [What about this? ]

Daju: [Ms. Zhou has good character and is a good match, but she is just a merchant. I wonder if your mother and the others mind.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [I will put aside the qualified ones for now. What about the others? ]

Daju: [The Wang family has many sisters, but only one son. The Wang family has trained the daughters to be supportive of their brothers.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [You know all about the brother-supporting demon? ]

Daju: [I passed by your place, saw and heard it, so I naturally know. ]

Daju: [The girl from the Qi family is well-educated and well-mannered. Her father works in Jiangnan. However, her father favors his concubine over his wife, and has a bad reputation in the Censorate. But the girl is very talented.]

Daju: [The girl from the Qin family is hot-tempered and dares to love and hate. I'm afraid your brother can't get along with such a girl.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [There are so many portraits of girls, but only a few are suitable for my eldest brother? ]

Daju: [You haven’t finished reading yet? Keep reading! ]

Tian Xiaoxiao continued to flip through the portraits.

Daju: [The girl from the Xu family is going to Xijing soon. Her father is an official in Beijing, and the family is going to settle down in Xijing. If your brother can go to Xijing, it will be a good marriage. The Xu family has no dirty deeds at present. The family tradition is also upright. But there is one thing, the man the girl from the Xu family marries cannot take concubines! ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [My eldest brother probably won’t take a concubine either. My father only has my mother.]

Tian Xiwen: One is enough. Too many women will cause trouble.

Daju: [There is another one, Miss Deng is also a good person, she follows the rules but is not pedantic, and more importantly, she is a good cook. I have stopped in her small kitchen several times, it smells so good! But this girl doesn't like to study, and her housekeeping is not very good. ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Then let's see which girl is pleasing to my eldest brother! What does the Xu family do? ]

Daju: [The Deng family is in the spice business, and their business is very large. The daughter of the Deng family has also been to many places, and her experience is first-class in this time and space.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [How do you look? Men all like beautiful women.]

Daju: [Of course she is not as pretty as your mother, but she is not bad looking either, and has a kind of aloof and cool temperament. ]

Zhu Yu listened from the side without saying anything.

She took note of what she had heard today, so that when she acts as a matchmaker in the future, she will have a clearer idea of ​​which girl to introduce to which family.

Tian Xiaoxiao: "Brother, I like all these sisters. Take a look, which one do you like best?" Tian Xiaoxiao pushed the portraits of several girls selected by Daju in front of Tian Xiwen.

Lin Yunzhi: "Mrs. Zhu, please help me think about this. After all, you do this for a living, and we have only been in Shengjing for half a year, so we don't know much about the character and family background of these girls."

"Mrs. Tian, ​​each of these girls has her own merits. But if you don't mind, the girl from the Zhou family is a good match. Although her family is a merchant, she has been following her mother Yang to manage a large family since she was a child. She is neither smooth nor rigid in her dealings with others, and she knows how to handle things very well."

"There is also the girl from the Deng family. When she was young, she had a photographic memory. But when she grew up, she suddenly fell in love with kitchen things for some reason and studied cooking all day long. Her cooking skills are first-rate. Her appearance is also above average among this group of girls. Her family's business is all over Mingning Country. She has an older brother and a younger brother who donated money to become a seventh-rank official in Xijing."

"The Xu family's daughter has strict upbringing. She is calm and serious. The relationships in her family are transparent, and her backyard is quiet."

"It all depends on which one Mrs. Tian or Mr. Tian likes." When Zhu Yu introduced the girls, his whole person brightened up a lot. Some people are born to do this job.

"Xiwen, which one do you like better?" Lin Yunzhi handed the decision to Tian Xiwen.

"Mom, let's choose Miss Deng! But it also depends on the girl's wishes. What if she doesn't like me?" After listening to Tian Xiaoxiao's thoughts, Tian Xiwen felt that Miss Deng must be an interesting person and would definitely get along well with Tian Xiaoxiao.

"Madam Zhu, please help me pass a message to the Deng family and tell them about our Xiwen's situation. If they are interested, let's meet each other." Lin Yunzhi took out a ten-liang silver ingot from his bosom and stuffed it into Zhu Yu's hand.

"Mrs. Tian, ​​this matter has not been finalized yet. I, I..."

"Take it. If the job is done, I'll give you double the portion!"

"Hey, hey, I'll go right away, right away!"
