Chapter 83 He just likes Zhao Taohua!
“Of course,” however, Grandma Sun dared not make the decision about Zhao Taohua’s marriage. She smiled and said, “Sister You, you know that Taohua’s family has separated from the old Zhao family house. You have to ask the second branch of the family about Taohua’s marriage yourself and see what kind of person Taohua likes.”
Grandma Sun was worried that if she arranged Zhao Taohua's marriage, she would anger the girl.
As she spoke, Grandma Sun added, "However, you must find the best man in the surrounding villages for my Peach Blossom."
Peach Blossom, despite her young age, is incredibly clever. She led our entire village in clearing wasteland and planting medicinal herbs, making the whole village prosperous.
She can also exorcise evil spirits. Lotus was arguing with you earlier because she was tainted by a troll.
At this point, Grandma Sun sighed.
With her argumentative nature taking hold, and Lianhua's attempt to have the simpleton Zhao Shengda ruin the reputations of Taohua, Shenming, and Zhao Shengxiang, the truth came out. Not only did Lianhua's reputation in the village suffer, but it also lost its reputation in the surrounding villages.
It's not easy to get married these days.
Matchmaker You had previously heard that Zhao Taohua knew magic and that she had also brought wealth to the entire Zhao family village.
She exclaimed, "A girl as capable as Peach Blossom, I will definitely find her a good husband. If she is willing, I will help her find a good husband in town!"
The next day, Zhao Taohua and the menstrual spirit delivered the tied-up straw blanket to the medicinal herb field. Just as they arrived at their doorstep, they heard someone calling her from behind.
"Peach Blossom, what a coincidence! I was just looking for you, and you're home right away!"
By the way, are your parents home?
Matchmaker You asked Zhao Taohua with a beaming smile.
When Zhao Taohua saw her, she instantly understood the purpose of her trip.
In this era, girls could get married at the age of fifteen, just like Sister Xiangxiang, whose wedding date with Yang Fengshou was set for the tenth day of the fourth month. She was only sixteen years old this year.
Zhao Taohua thought to herself, since she was going to get married sooner or later, she might as well choose someone she found pleasing to the eye.
At least with Matchmaker You acting as a go-between, she could secretly inquire about potential partners after Matchmaker You had chosen someone for her, so it wasn't entirely a blind marriage.
Zhao Taohua invited Matchmaker You into the house and asked the Menstrual Spirit to brew her a bowl of tea. She then lowered the windproof curtain in the main room to prevent the cold wind from getting in.
"Grandma You, my parents aren't home, so please just tell me!" Zhao Taohua said.
Matchmaker You hesitated for a moment: "..."
In the past, when she arranged marriages for people, she would talk to their parents. The young men and women would just sit quietly to the side, and if they were asked something, they would only reply with an "uh-huh".
Matchmaker You was somewhat surprised to hear Zhao Taohua's words.
Matchmaker You's expression was exactly what Zhao Taohua had expected. After all, in this era, marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers. Unless one had no elders in the family, no one would personally discuss marriage with a matchmaker.
"Grandma You, it's alright, just tell me. Since it's me who's getting married, you should tell me directly."
Zhao Taohua said.
Matchmaker You immediately smiled and said, "Yes, Peach Blossom, you're right. Then Grandma You will ask you directly."
Looking at Zhao Taohua, the matchmaker couldn't help but sigh inwardly. No wonder Old Lady Sun wanted her to personally go to the Zhao family to ask for their opinion.
So, she wanted me to ask Peach Blossom for her opinion.
No wonder he can lead the entire Zhao Family Village to prosperity; he's young but has a lot of ideas.
"Peach Blossom, you're fifteen this year. After your birthday, you'll be of marriageable age and can get married."
Grandma You wants to help you make arrangements first, so as not to waste your time and delay making arrangements later, which would make you sixteen years old.
Tell Grandma You, what kind of husband do you want to marry?
"Tell Grandma You any ideas you have, and she'll definitely help you find them!"
Just now, she saw that the Zhao family had an oxcart, which was worth a lot of money, more valuable than a brick house.
After asking the question, Matchmaker You sat quietly and listened to Zhao Taohua's answer.
Only then did she realize that Zhao Taohua had served her tea.
She could only drink tea when she was arranging marriages for people in town.
……
Shen Ming walked to the Zhao family's gate and was about to knock when he discovered that the gate was not closed today.
He first glanced into the courtyard, where everything was neatly arranged and had not been vandalized.
Just as he was about to call Zhao Taohua into the house, he vaguely heard voices coming from inside the main room.
He had been hunting since childhood and had excellent hearing: Was this the voice of Matchmaker You?
"Tell Grandma You what kind of husband you want to marry. Tell Grandma You whatever you want to say, and Grandma You will definitely help you find one!"
Shen Ming's heart trembled violently upon hearing this.
He looked up at the windproof curtain hanging in front of the main room, wishing his gaze could pass through the curtain and immediately see Zhao Lianhua.
He had never been so nervous and worried in his nineteen years of life. His heart was pounding so hard that he felt as if something was about to leave him.
He stared at the windproof curtain in front of the main room and thought to himself: Zhao Taohua is fifteen years old now, she's no longer a little girl.
It's only natural for Matchmaker You to come and arrange a marriage for her, but why is he so reluctant to let Zhao Taohua marry someone else?
He looked down at the hand cream in his hand, and in an instant, an idea arose in his mind.
Immediately afterward, his gaze hardened, and he was absolutely certain: he loved Zhao Taohua!
Shen Ming walked quietly toward the main room, where a clear voice came from inside: "Grandma You, I want to find a kind, responsible, resourceful, and respectful man to be my husband."
Upon hearing this, Matchmaker You nodded repeatedly, indicating that Zhao Taohua's requirements were not high.
Character is the most important thing. Peach Blossom didn't ask about the other party's family background or how much dowry they wanted.
But she felt it would be a waste for Zhao Taohua, with her intelligence and money-making skills, not to marry into the town.
She asked, "Peach Blossom, would you like to marry into the town? Would you like Grandma You to help you find someone there as well?"
“Either is fine,” Zhao Taohua replied.
Cast a wide net first, then compare them one by one, and finally choose the right one.
Since it was a lifelong commitment, Zhao Taohua hoped to choose someone she found pleasing to the eye.
"Okay, Grandma You understand. Don't worry, Grandma You will definitely find you a good one, one that will satisfy you!"
After saying this, Matchmaker You finished the tea on the table, got up and left happily.
People in town are naturally wealthier than those in the village.
The townspeople don't own land, but most of them have shops and do business, earning a considerable amount of money every day.
Outside the windproof curtain, Shen Ming repeated Zhao Taohua's words in his heart: kind, responsible, resourceful, and respectful to elders.
Just then, Matchmaker You lifted the windproof curtain and came out, looking at Shen Ming with some surprise: "Shen Ming, you've come?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Ming immediately clenched the hand cream in his hand and replied, "Yes, I have something to discuss with Sister Peach Blossom."
Matchmaker You simply said goodbye and left. She was busy with Zhao Taohua's marriage, as well as the marriage of Zhao Feng and Zhao Xinghua at the Zhao family's old residence.
Hearing Shen Ming's voice, Zhao Taohua came out in surprise: "Brother Shen Ming, why don't you come in? It's so cold outside, come in and have some hot tea."
After Zhao Taohua finished speaking, she asked the menstrual essence to make a bowl of tea for Shen Ming, completely unaware that Shen Ming's gaze towards her was unusually intense!
