Chapter 121 - 121. Matchmaker
Wu Jingshu had mixed feelings in her heart. Her words, which were supposed to be picky and disgusting with Tian Erya, actually promoted Tian Erya's business.She said awkwardly, "It seems that you are very busy."

Tian Erya placed the scissors, smiled and replied: "Yes! I am busy forging scissors every day, and I have to find a way to sell these scissors, so I can make a lot of money. I am very busy every day."

Cui Cui came over, handed her a jar of water, and looked up at Wu Jingshu: "We small households are busy making a living and supporting our families every day, unlike Ms. Wu, you can pamper her and come here for entertainment."

Wu Jingshu listened to her thorny words, and responded lightly: "I am usually very busy just like you, so coming here is just a sneak in my busy schedule."

"What are you up to?" Tian Erya was purely curious about what the big lady who was raised in her boudoir was busy with every day.

Wu Jingshu smiled softly: "My husband has just passed the exam, and there are a lot of relatives and friends who came to congratulate him. I want to arrange a reception, set up a banquet, and entertain the guests.

Tian Erya's hands froze in place, and she looked at her in shock: "Have you returned to Zheng's house?"

"Of course. As the wife of Zheng Yuansheng's matchmaker, of course I have to take charge of the house affairs in the Zheng family. The reception of guests in the back house is very particular, and the guests will be very picky about the wife of the master, and they will comment on everything from her beauty and makeup to her manners. The master If Madam speaks a little bit badly or entertains poorly, it will give others a reason to talk about it at the banquet in the future."

Tian Erya knew that this was for her. She grew up in the countryside and didn't understand the rules of the mansion. If she married Zheng Yuansheng, it would not help him in communication, but would hinder him.She couldn't help lowering her head, a little annoyed at her incompetence.

Seeing her discouraged look, Wu Jingshu curled her lips proudly: "You have never participated in that kind of banquet. That kind of banquet is much harder than doing physical work. You have to watch all directions, listen to all directions, and arrange servants to be guests in each room." It takes a lot of effort to take care of all aspects, such as reception in the horse-drawn carriage, setting up food and desserts, where visitors sit, etc. However, it is worth the hard work. Mr. Xiang knows how difficult it is for me, so he is very considerate to me. Today, Mr. I went to the provincial government to attend a party, and specifically told me that I would go out to relax and buy more rouge and powder to make myself better dressed. He said, I am radiant and I will also add glory to his face in front of his friends."

"Zheng Yuansheng is not such a superficial person. His thoughts are all on books." Tian Erya wondered if Zheng Yuansheng really reunited with her, what she said was not like Zheng Yuansheng's usual style.

Wu Jingshu's heart skipped a beat. It seemed like superfluous superfluous, but let her show her flaws.This Tian Erya is not as rude as she looks on the outside, she is still very thoughtful.She had to be more careful, and smiled: "My husband has the qualifications to be an official if he passed the examination. He knows that after becoming an official, he needs to communicate extensively to pave the way for his official career. His wife is also his face. Naturally, his ideas are not the same as before. Same."

Tian Erya felt very uncomfortable when she heard this, and forced a smile: "Are you here today just to show off how much love you have with Zheng Yuansheng? Don't you want to buy some scissors?"

"Since I came to the sword shop, I have to buy scissors." Wu Jingshu randomly picked two scissors and asked her to wrap them up.

"Miss Wu is really interesting. Your husband's family runs the largest sword shop in the county, but you come here to buy scissors."

"I heard that the scissors you forged are not inferior to Long Shunhe's. I'll buy them back and let my little apprentice learn from them." Wu Jingshu looked at the iron pot and kitchen knives in the shop next to her and asked, "You are a shop. Why put a screen in the middle to separate the shop?"

Tian Erya was about to explain.

Old man Tian came in from the backyard and heard this, and put down the iron pot in his hand angrily: "Hmph, it's all because I gave birth to an unfilial daughter, and insisted on cutting a part of the shop at home as her own shop. This Miss, what would you like to buy?"

"Boss, my husband is a new recruit, and there are a lot of guests coming to the door, so I want to buy a few more iron pots."

"It turns out that you are the wife of Master Juren!" Old man Tian was excited, "You can look around. The wife of Master Juren can buy things in my shop because she thinks highly of me. I will give you the lowest price."

Cui Cui looked coldly: "Father, Miss Wu's family is rich and powerful, why would she care about such a small amount of money?"

"Miss Wu?"

Wu Jingshu smiled gently: "I am Wu Jingshu, the young lady of the Wu family. My family's husband, Zheng Yuansheng, has won the Juren."

Old man Tian's cloudy eyes sparkled, and he rubbed his hands: "Oh! So you are Miss Wu, no wonder you look so beautiful and noble. I'm so disrespectful, Miss Wu, Master Zheng Si really won the Juren? Congratulations!"

Wu Jingshu glanced at Tian Erya: "Zheng Yuansheng was promoted, don't you know?"

"I don't know. There are not many scholars around us, and people rarely pay attention to these things. It is a great joy for Master Zheng Si to be elected. From now on, he will be an official, and we will bow down when we see him. I can't believe it. You are the wife of Master Juren." , will also visit our small shop, and don’t dislike us.”

"Speaking of which, you and Zheng Jiayou are also destined. I arranged for your daughter to replace me in the new house, and almost made her my husband's wife. If that was the case, she might become Juren's wife today."

Old man Tian hurriedly waved his hands: "Miss Wu, no, Miss Zheng Si, please don't make such a joke with us. We can't afford it. Erya is just a country girl who has never been to school and doesn't know everyone's etiquette. If you say Going out and letting her be the wife of Juren, wouldn't it be laughing at others? She was also rude at the beginning, and she didn't know anything. She thought that if she stayed in the room with the fourth young master for one night, she would take the title. We still know Those who have their own status don’t dare to climb high.”

"You old man knows how to measure, very good." Wu Jingshu asked Shao Yao to reward him with ten taels of silver.

Holding the silver, the old man smiled happily, and the wrinkles on his face stretched out: "Fourth Young Mistress, you are really generous, you shouldn't be called Madam now, do you think there is anything else I can do for you?"

"Well. I really have something to trouble you. I have a distant relative who runs a wine shop and has dozens of acres of Susukida. He heard about your daughter Tian Erya's feat of forging scissors for the Armed Forces Academy, and learned about her He is very diligent and willing to come to seek a matchmaker for his son. However, his home is too far away, so it is not easy to come here, so I hope I can find out the news. So, I came here specifically to ask if Ling Ai is betrothed to someone else?"

"No." Old man Tian was overjoyed. Fortunately, he didn't arrange a marriage for his daughter before, so the matchmaker that the Miss Wu family said is naturally not too bad.
