Yao Sheng said that Shi Anxia liked Miss Ming Zhao very much. This was undoubtedly a reassurance for Madam Ma.
This made me feel three points more satisfied.
Earlier, when Mrs. Ma heard Tang Chujun chatting, she let slip that her daughter Xia Er did not think highly of Lu Yonghua and Rong Yan at the time, so she reminded Shi Anxin several times.
But Shi Anxin didn't appreciate it, so Shi Anxia gave up and didn't bother to care. The consequence of Shi Anxia's not caring was that Shi Anxin was exiled to Mozhou, and the man surnamed Lu was also exiled to Mozhou, and they all lived a miserable life.
Therefore, in their circle, a habit has been formed, that is, which family will ask Princess Haiyan for advice like fortune-telling before marrying a daughter-in-law or marrying off a daughter.
Can this girl be married? Can this man be married? Are their parents, brothers and sisters any good?
Although Princess Haiyan also chatted with the quacks, she often said, "No, no, I don't do fortune-telling. The more you calculate your fortune, the thinner it gets. The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed."
But if you pay attention, you can see Princess Haiyan's likes and preferences for someone.
As long as the princess likes it, it will be fine.
The princess likes Mingzhao, and Madam Ma immediately decides...wait a minute, she has to find a local matchmaker to come and arrange the marriage, to make it more serious.
The original three matchmakers actually refer to three matchmakers, including the matchmaker hired by the man, the matchmaker hired by the woman, and a middle matchmaker.
However, if the powerful and aristocratic families in the northern capital attach importance to this marriage, it is popular for the man to invite three matchmakers to come to his house to act as a matchmaker to show his sincerity.
Madam Ma only brought two matchmakers from the capital. She had reserved a spot for a local matchmaker so that she could remedy the situation if she encountered any problems with local customs.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Ma came to the Ming family with three matchmakers.
Everyone in the Ming family was flattered. They didn't expect the Ma family to act so quickly.
The marriage negotiation process went smoothly. The Ming family did not make things difficult, and the Ma family did not have any demands. The two sides hit it off, but it was stuck with the person involved.
Normally, neither Ma Chuyi nor Ming Zhao should be present at the marriage discussion, but they both showed up.
Ma Chuyi first bowed to all the elders and explained that the two parties would be engaged first, and the actual marriage would have to wait three years.
Everyone in the Ming family looked unhappy. What does this mean? What are you going to do? If you delay for three years, how old will Ming Zhao be? Isn't this going to delay things?
Ming Zhao knew that his family had misunderstood him, so he stepped forward to explain, "Mr. Ma, you don't have to take the responsibility on yourself. I was the one who proposed the three-year agreement. I just took over the Ming family, and most of the Ming family's business is in my hands. It can't be handed over for a while. I..."
Ming Yan, who was eavesdropping outside the door, rushed into the room and said, "Sister, don't worry about getting married. I will take over the business."
A group of Ming family juniors rushed into the house, "Sister Zhao'er, don't worry about getting married, we will take over."
Ming Zhao bowed to his brothers and sisters and said, "Thank you all, but since Zhao'er has accepted the jade ring from my great-great-grandmother, I must take on this responsibility to live up to the trust of my elders."
Those complicated interpersonal relationships, how could anyone take over just because they wanted to? Just the bunch of tea farmers on the tea mountain had already been offended by the Ming family's side branches.
She still had to slowly repair the relationship and restore the reputation of Ming's tea. This alone was not something her brothers who were buried in their studies could take over.
Guan sighed, "Zhao'er, we had to make an emergency decision back then." She didn't expect Zhao'er to get married so soon, "If it really doesn't work, can I hold on for a few more years?"
But she knew that in a few more years, the Ming family's business would collapse. If it weren't for Ming Zhao's strong hand to support the current situation, and the fact that they had to borrow from Peter to pay Paul to barely maintain it, they would have been unable to maintain the expenses of such a large family.
