After bidding farewell to the idlers, Ximen Qing strolled around the area. Unknowingly, he had returned to the entrance of the newly opened delicatessen in the martial arts university.
He remembered the alluring light that had just entered his eyes. He suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and stuck his head out to look around for a while. He could not help but feel a little disappointed when he saw the figure of a martial arts university busying itself in front of the shop.
The crowd outside the shop had already dispersed, and it was no longer as lively as before. There were still a few idlers gathered at the entrance of the shop, muttering something.
"Hey, isn't this Lord Ximen? Why do you have time to come out and stroll around today?"
Grandma Wang had sharp eyes and immediately noticed the well-dressed Ximen Qing. She warmly welcomed him.
After Grandma Wang heard this, she leaned in front of him and asked curiously,"Sir, you run several herbal medicine shops and earn a lot of money every day. There are many beautiful wives and concubines at home. Who knows how many people are envious of you?”
Xi Men Qing took a sip of the sour plum soup and sighed,""As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is not as good as not being able to steal.”
Grandma Wong rolled her eyes and moved closer. She asked in a low voice,"Whose wife did you fancy? Tell me and let this old one help you to consider. Perhaps there is a way to make the official happy.”
Grandma Wang's instigation gave Ximen Qing a glimmer of hope.
It was as if the heavens had opened a new window for him.
He could not suppress the desire in his heart and asked,"Is Godmother's words true?"
Grandma Wang smiled and brought up another unrelated topic. She took the opportunity to act pitiful and said,"This old one has been a matchmaker for a lifetime, but in the end, I'm all alone and helpless. Now, I'm guarding this tea shop and living day by day. I only hope that the official can give me some rewards so that this old one can have a stable life.”
Xi Men Qing was not a stingy person. He immediately touched his sleeves and took out seven or eight taels of silver from them, placing them all on the table.
Grandma Wang glanced at the silver on the table and was very envious. She did not express her position at the moment, but still had some concerns.
He asked worriedly,"My lord, if your lady in the mansion learns of this, won't she have to take care of me? How can I suffer like this?"”
Xi Men Qing waved his hand dismissively and said,""My Eldest Lady is the easiest to get along with, and her eyes can tolerate people. Now, I have also asked a few people around me to put at home, but none of them are to my liking. Since you have this ability, why don't you use it to help me arrange it?”
Grandma Wong's last bit of concern was dispelled. She couldn't care less about her ugly appearance and hurriedly leaned over to collect the silver on the table. She asked enthusiastically,"May I know which wife this officer has his eyes on? Who is your husband's family?"
Ximen Qing raised his hand and pointed to the room next door. He leaned over and whispered,"It's from Wu Dalang's family."
Unexpectedly, Granny Wang looked as if she had seen a ghost. Her mouth was wide open, and her face was filled with a conflicted and regretful expression. She took out the silver that she had yet to warm and stuffed it back into Xi Men Qing's hand.
He shook his hand and kept pushing away,"My great official, why did you choose this family? I can't handle it!"”
He knew that Granny Wang's family had left early and had lived alone for many years. Usually, she liked to wander around the streets and alleys. No secret could escape her eyes and ears. She was a smooth person.
Her matchmaking skills were even better.
Wasn't this her specialty?
Or was it that she didn't care about this bit of silver?
Xi Men Qing gradually sensed something unusual and couldn't help but ask,""But her husband and wife are unusually loving? Godmother has nowhere to go?"
"No."
"That's right, but that's not right either. Why don't you think about whether there are brothers and sisters in that martial arts university?”
He was only concerned about his wife. How could he have the time to investigate her ancestors?
"There's nothing much to say about martial arts universities. However, I suddenly found an uncle a few days ago. He's the brave man who fought the tiger and was praised by the magistrate, Cao Dutou.”
"Tell me, how can I help you with this matchmaking? Not to mention your wife slapping me, even this Cao Dutou's fist, this old woman can't take it.”
If she were to provoke someone else's sister-in-law now, wouldn't she be like an old man hanging himself?
Xi Men Qing was also stunned on the spot. He opened his mouth and sighed,"So it's him."
Previously, he had asked the butler to give him 200 taels of silver, and he had received a pretty good reward from Cao Fei.
It was a good thing to have one more helper in the county government.
He did not expect the other party to be the martial arts university's newly acknowledged uncle. He had become the benefactor of the martial arts university's family and had also become a tiger that stood in the way between him and Pan Jinlian.
The world was really unpredictable.
Xi Men Qing's mind began to struggle. He stood in place and pondered for a moment, unable to make up his mind.
