Yun Jiao realized that this was the Young Master Zhang for today’s matchmaking eting.
She examined him closely; the young man had a well-proportioned face and exuded an aura of scholarly elegance. His appearance was quite good.
As soon as Young Master Zhang entered the room, his eyes first landed on Yun Jiao.
However, he quickly understood that Yun Jiao was not his matchmaking candidate. Although she was beautiful, she was evidently not a young girl anymore.
He heard from his mother that the one he was to et was a fifteen-year-old young girl.
He subtly shifted his gaze sideways.
Two young girls were there.
One was wearing a dress in peach blossom pink, and the other in scallion green.
The girl in peach blossom pink was slightly bowing her head, making it difficult to see her features.
The girl in the scallion green coat had eyes rolling around, gazing at him while wearing a smile on her face.
Young Master Zhang’s heart stirred, surely it was this girl.
At this mont, Mrs. Chen invited everyone to sit down.
The ditation room was spacious enough, and the tables and chairs were arranged properly, so everyone sat down.
Mrs. Chen began inquiring about the Zhang family’s situation.
After all, what the matchmaker said might not be entirely accurate.
Very soon, Mrs. Chen discovered an important piece of information: the Zhang family was a large family.
Currently, four generations lived together without separation, residing in interconnected courtyards.
Mrs. Chen hesitated a bit; in such a large family, being a wife would be difficult.
With many relatives, there would naturally be more disputes.
Liu Family seed to notice Mrs. Chen’s concerns and smiled, "Sister Chen, you can rest assured, our family is one with honor."
"Respecting the elderly goes without saying, and even among siblings, they are harmonious."
Two won nearby quickly laughed, "Our family gets along well, you can inquire. Within a radius of dozens of miles, everyone knows about the reputation of the Zhang family."
Mrs. Chen smiled, "Who are these two——"
Liu Family said, "These are my two sisters-in-law."
She also laughed, "I wonder what relation Doctor Gu has with your family?"
Mrs. Chen kept a ntal note, not ntioning that the Grand Secretary was her adopted son, for fear that people would seek marriage ties because of Jiang Youzhi.
She knew her family’s status and did not want to climb higher using Lord Chief Minister’s title.
Mrs. Chen said, "Doctor Gu and my family have so distant relation, and we ca especially to bring the children to relax today."
Yun Jiao saw Mrs. Chen speak this way, so she said no more, only smiled.
At this mont, Young Master Zhang had already glanced at Yingzi several tis.
Yingzi was lively and looked radiant, and he was quite pleased.
Taohua kept her head down the whole ti.
Though she had experienced quite a lot in the past few years and was braver than most girls, this was ultimately a eting with her future husband, and she felt very shy.
Liu Family said, "Yong An, outside that courtyard, I see there’s an orange tree, and it has borne fruit. You and Miss Jiang can pick a few oranges."
Young Master Zhang quickly stood up, looking at Yingzi.
While Yingzi was looking at Taohua.
Taohua hesitated, looking at Mrs. Chen.
At that mont, Yingzi pulled her and walked outside.
Taohua lingered, feeling anxious.
Young Master Zhang followed the two girls out.
Yun Jiao’s eyes flickered, glancing at Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen was also watching them, looking thoughtful, then exchanged a aningful glance with Yun Jiao, and both understood each other’s intentions.
Outside, there were three other children.
Yingzi took Taohua out, playing with the three children.
Taohua stood there alone for a mont, thought about it, and walked toward the orange tree.
Liu Family had ntioned picking oranges, so she might as well pick a few. Otherwise, standing here awkwardly would be silly.
