The daytime of the Lantern Festival is the same as usual, and I have seen the Lantern Festival several times, so I am not so looking forward to it now.

So when Liu Qingsong came back from herding the sheep in the morning, Lin He asked him to carry a bag of soybeans and they went to the city together.

Xie Matchmaker ran to their house for half a year, and Lin He naturally knew where her house lived, a small courtyard with many residents nearby.

I was quite curious before, but now I know that if what I said before is true, then she must be living alone as a woman. If she lives in an area with few people, it will be very dangerous.

"Brother Hui, you don't have to go with me today, you go to the pond to watch them dig lotus roots, I guess Xie Jiang will come over later, Chang Qiang is not at home for half a month, and I need to check with you .”

Liu Qingsong drove the carriage over, and Lin He signaled him to carry a bag of soybeans onto the carriage, which was a stepping stone.

"Go, come back early."

Lin He got into the carriage, Liu Qingsong saluted Li Changhui and drove away. Liu Qingsong seldom went to the city and usually worked in the fields, but Lin He had a clear understanding of Nanzhi County in the past few years.

Under her command, the carriage turned left and right, and soon arrived at the door of Xie Matchmaker's house.

Well, there is no lock on the door, which means that the person is at home, and it is locked from the inside.

Lin He signaled Xie Qingsong to wait outside, and knocked on the door himself.

After knocking a few times, I heard a voice from inside that seemed to have not woken up: "Who is it?"

It seems to be still confused.

"It's me, the Li family outside the city, here to ask Matchmaker Xie for something."

The voice inside instantly woke up: "It's Mrs. Li, wait a moment, I'll be right over."

You could even hear the scrambling inside. After a while, the door creaked open, and the matchmaker Xie stood at the door with a well-dressed smile on his face.

She saw Liu Qingsong waiting by the roadside carriage at a glance, and immediately understood what Lin He was doing here, and hurriedly welcomed him into the house.

"Why did Mrs. Li come here in person? I've heard people say that they treat the brothers and sisters of the Liu family just like my own children. It seems to be true."

Lin He smiled: "It's a bit exaggerated. Qingsong Qingyu was miserable when he was young, and now there is no elder in the family. Anyway, I am idle, so I just think of finding something for myself to do."

Following the Xie matchmaker into the yard, he nodded at the corners of his eyes.

Xie Matchmaker was stunned for a moment. After he realized what he was doing, he quickly wiped the corners of his eyes and wiped away a small lump of eye droppings. It seemed that he had just gotten up and was only busy dressing and combing his hair without having time to wash his face.

But the matchmaker Xie didn't care, and led Lin He into the main room with a smile: "It's really early, Mrs. Li."

He touched the teapot on the table, it was cold, yes, she just got up, so there was no time to boil the water.

Seeing that she was going to boil water, Lin He hurriedly stopped her: "Don't be so polite, I'll just ask where the Wang family you mentioned that day lives, I'll go and see first."

The matchmaker Xie saw that Lin He didn't seem to be being polite, so he really sat down directly.

"It's not far away. It's just around the corner from our alley. Lao Wang should still be selling tofu at the moment. His wife and daughter are at home."

Lin He nodded and wrote down: "I'm here today because I have one more thing to do."

Xie Matchmaker's eyes lit up immediately: "Master Li's cousin is back?"

The most diligent people she ran to Li's house every year were for Master Li's eldest son and cousin Liu Dong.

She had met that girl before, she was honest and virtuous, she had also read books, learned calligraphy, and even attended a women's school.

If anyone can marry and go home, they will surely be able to live a nourishing life with a wife and children on the kang.

Lin He didn't pretend to be pretentious: "I came back last night. Now that my aunt has entrusted Dong'er's marriage to me, I naturally have to help her take care of it."

As soon as the Xie matchmaker heard this, he knew that the big business was coming, and quickly asked: "What kind of brother-in-law does Mrs. Li want? I also have a few marriageable men on hand, and I will pick the best one for you."

Lin He smiled: "It doesn't have to be the best, but it must be the most suitable."

"My cousin is too soft-tempered, and I am also worried that she will be bullied in her in-law's house. If the matchmaker is interested, he can help me find a family with fewer brothers and sisters, a kind old man, and a man with a better character, morality, and temper. ?”

Xie the matchmaker listened carefully, and waited for Lin He to finish speaking before asking back: "Then what is your family background?"

"You don't need to be rich, just a little bit of wealth is fine. The most important thing is for a man to live a stable life. That kind of idler is not good."

Xie the matchmaker nodded again and again: "That's easy to say, Mrs. Li, wait for a few days, and I will give you news soon."

"Then it's time to work. I'll take Liu Qingsong to Wang's house first. If they fall in love with each other, they must thank the matchmaker for their favor."

"Be polite, be polite. What I said before is all true. If that young man Liu Qingsong agrees, I promise you won't lose money!"

Xie the matchmaker sent Lin He out of the door with a smile, not forgetting to tease Liu Qingsong.

After all, he is a young man, where is Xie Matchmaker who has experienced many battles and has been a matchmaker for many years, and his face becomes hot when he just says a few words.

Fortunately, my skin has been tanned from working in the past few years, and I can't tell if it is red.

After Xie Matchmaker went back, Lin He signaled Liu Qingsong to continue walking.

"The Wang family is just turning the corner ahead. When the time comes, you wait outside and I'll go in first. If it's suitable, I'll ask you to bring in the soybeans."

"Ok."

Originally, Lin He thought that if he turned a corner, he might not be able to know where the Wang family was. As a result, he walked a little further and saw a few bags of bean dregs piled up at the door of a family.

Lin He is familiar with this stuff. There are so many pigs in the family, and it grows slowly only eating pig grass, so I contacted many tofu brewers in the city, and some restaurants.

Bean dregs and distiller's lees can be used to feed pigs.

Liu Qingsong obviously recognized it, and hastily stopped the carriage, took the carriage stool and put it aside, even his voice became a lot nervous: "Mrs. Li, it seems that we are here."

"Don't be nervous, I'll ask for you first, thank the matchmaker and say that only the girl and her mother are at home now, so don't go in."

After saying that, he got out of the carriage and knocked on the door again.

This time the voice inside was very quick: "Who is it?"

It was the voice of a young girl, soft and soft, and one could tell her character just by listening to the voice, she must be a gentle girl.

He could even hear footsteps, and walked slowly to the door, but did not open it hastily.

Still a vigilant girl.

"I'm from the Li family's farm outside the city. I heard that your family makes tofu. I sent some soybeans over, and I want you to help me make some tofu."

He didn't deliberately lower his voice, and the neighbors all poked their heads out curiously.

One of them seemed to recognize Lin He, and shouted in surprise, "Mrs. Li? Why did you come here yourself, Mrs. Li?"

Lin He smiled and said, "It's okay anyway, I thought about making some tofu."

A slightly older voice also came from inside: "Xiu'er, who is outside."

"Mother, it seems to be the wife of the Li family's farm outside the city."

With that said, the door of the room opened, and a thin girl appeared in front of Lin He.
