PNB Chapter 147 Miss Yue
Chapter 147 Miss Yue
There were not many people in the shop at night, so everyone went to rest.
Zhao Yuanzhen changed her clothes and prepared to go to Yue Mansion. She didn't know the exact location, so she had to open the map.
Thinking about the map problem in the future.
"System, print out for me a copy of the world map, maps of each country, and detailed maps of each city. The more detailed the better."
"Okay, host, 10 points for one map, and it will take 2 hours to complete."
"Well, OK, print it out. Remember to print it out as detailed as possible, including large and small cities. Choose the most durable map drawings, and print them in color. Make 20 copies of each."
I think one copy is a bit too few. This kind of map cannot be perfected manually. So I'd better keep more while we have the system.
"Yes, host, the price of chasing prints is 1 point per copy."
"Ah."
Zhao Yuanzhen found the Yue Mansion, put on the invisible cloak, asked the system to hide his aura, found a wall with few people, and jumped in.
After all, he is a civil servant, and there are not many guards in his mansion. There are only a few night guards and no secret guards.
Zhao Yuanzhen first scanned the karma in the mansion.
There are not many, just a few. Two belong to the ladies in the mansion, and a few belong to the old lady. Miss Yue doesn't have any, and Lord Yue doesn't have any either.
The property is quite a lot. After all, it is a noble family, so it is normal to have some property.
Zhao Yuanzhen quietly sneaked into Miss Yue's room, carefully looked at Miss Yue's face, scanned it again, and took a rough look at this person's life story.
After watching it, I had a feeling that this girl's personality is a bit like Lin Daiyu.
He is a little sensitive, but he is sensible, knows how to deal with people, is careful, indifferent, real, has a strong understanding, has a clear distinction between love and hate, and has self-respect and self-love.
Zhao Yuanzhen likes this kind of personality more. Although he is a little sensitive, Zhao Yuanlan is not the kind of playboy. He and Miss Yue should be able to get along well.
The biggest difference is that Miss Yue is healthier, unlike Miss Lin who is as frail as she is.
Not bad, not bad, all are very satisfactory. The family is simple. Although Lord Yue has several concubines, they don't have many children. Miss Yue has only two brothers, and they are all married and have children. Even the sisters-in-law are quite capable. I think the sisters-in-law must have complaints that he is still at home at this age.
I looked around again and nothing was wrong.
Then he went back.
Zhao Yuanlan is an official appointed by the imperial court, so he can seek help from an official matchmaker.
After breakfast, Zhao Yuanzhen went to find Zhao Yuanlan first.
He had just come out of court and was having dinner at home.
"Little sister, have you had breakfast? Would you like to eat something?"
"No need, big brother, I've eaten."
"Then wait for me for a moment. I'll come over after I finish eating."
"Okay, eat slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Zhao Yuanzhen was waiting for him in the hall, and soon Zhao Yuanlan came over.
"Little sister, what's the matter?"
Zhao Yuanzhen took out the portrait and handed it to Zhao Yuanlan.
"This is the portrait of the daughter of Lord Yue from the Shangshu Mansion. Take a look."
This is what Zhao Yuanzhen typed out after scanning.
"Little sister, this is not good. It doesn't make sense. This..."
Zhao Yuanlan felt that it was not a good idea. It was not right to look at the portrait of a young lady in the boudoir without permission.
"Brother, don't worry. I drew this secretly. Only you and I know about it. Take a look first."
Zhao Yuanlan had no choice but to open it and take a look.
The woman in the painting is quiet and elegant, with a hint of pride in her brows and a pretty face. She is very pretty.
After reading it, he quickly put it away and handed it to Zhao Yuanzhen.
"Well... it's all up to me, little sister."
Is this what it means to be in love?
Isn't it said that parents are matchmakers, and if they like the child, it's all up to the parents. If they don't like the child and the daughter doesn't want to get married, she will stay at home and accompany her parents for a few years.
"This girl is 26 years old this year. She was engaged before she reached the age of 3. She was the eldest son of an earl's mansion. But then her grandfather passed away, so she had to observe mourning for three years. After just one year of mourning, her grandmother passed away, so she had to observe mourning for another three years.
Just like that, a good girl was delayed.
I have secretly inquired about her, and I found out that she has good character and no problems. She is just a little sensitive, but overall she is a good girl.
If you think it's okay, I'll contact the official media to get the feel for it, how about that?"
Zhao Yuanlan blushed a little and touched his nose, feeling embarrassed.
"It's all up to my little sister."
"Okay, I'll go find the matchmaker first. Brother, wait for my news."
"it is good."
Zhao Yuanzhen had asked around for matchmakers before, and found one with a good reputation. She prepared gifts and went to visit.
I prepared some tea, brown sugar, snacks and 10 taels of silver.
"Madam, what's wrong?"
The matchmaker opened the door and asked Zhao Yuanzhen.
"I'm here to trouble the matchmaker for my elder brother's marriage."
"Oh, please come in quickly."
The matchmaker saw that the woman was there to propose marriage to her, so she quickly invited her into the house.
Zhao Yuanzhen handed the gift to the matchmaker.
The matchmaker looked at the generous Zhao Yuanzhen, took it with a smile, and poured her a cup of tea.
"I wonder which mansion the lady is from? Do you mean there is a clue or no clue?"
If you have an idea, you can choose a suitable one. If you have no idea, you can ask a matchmaker to help you find a suitable one.
"I'm from General Anguo's Mansion. I have some ideas about matchmaking for General Zhao."
"My old aunt is blind to the fact that she is the eldest daughter of the general's mansion."
The matchmaker was shocked to find that the man turned out to be the favorite of His Majesty, a first-rank general.
Salute quickly.
Generally, families of this high status would have ladies from the same circle help with matchmaking and rarely look for official matchmakers.
"Please get up quickly. My brother and I lost our parents when we were young, and my brother has been busy in the military camp. Now that we have some free time and have settled down in the capital, we want to start a family."
"Yes, now that the general has achieved success and fame, it's time for him to get married. I wonder which girl the young lady is talking about?"
No matter which family he is from, they would probably be grinning from ear to ear with joy. After all, he is a first-rank general and a favorite of the current emperor.
"She is Miss Yue from the residence of Minister Yue, the Minister of Revenue."
"Ms. Yue? The 26-year-old lady?"
"Yes, but what's wrong with that?"
"No, I just think that the general's conditions are good enough to find a young lady... Well, look at what I say, Miss Yue is first-rate in terms of character, family background and appearance, and is a perfect match for the general."
The matchmaker stopped talking in the middle of the conversation. Since she was chosen by the General's Mansion, she would be the future General's wife. She must not talk nonsense and offend others.
"That's good. My eldest brother, Zhao Yuanlan, is 38 years old this year. He has no parents and no concubines. His backyard is clean and tidy. He is in good health and has no diseases."
Let me give you Zhao Yuanlan’s basic information first.
"The general is truly a man of integrity and high moral character."
The matchmaker praised him sincerely, saying that it was rare that he had not taken a concubine at such an old age and with such a poor health.
"Thank you for your hard work, matchmaker."
"Don't worry, Miss Zhao. I'll take care of this matter. I'll go to the Yue Mansion to pay a visit in a little while."
The matchmaker patted her chest and made the promise.
"Okay, I'll trouble you then. Whether it succeeds or not, please go to this shop and give me a letter."
Zhao Yuanzhen left the address of the dessert shop.
"Okay, don't worry, Miss Zhao."
"Well, then I'll leave first."
Zhao Yuanzhen said goodbye and went back. He first went to the dessert shop and asked the owner to send someone to tell him immediately if there was any news.
Then he went to the storytelling shop and picked up Zhang Xinshu.
Xin Shu is taking a bath today.
"Mom, look at this."
Zhang Xinshu handed a piece of paper to Zhao Yuanzhen.
Zhao Yuanzhen took it and looked at it, and it turned out to be a document.
It is a document proving one’s status as a scholar.
"You passed the exam and became a scholar?"
"Yes, mother, the document was issued yesterday."
"When did you take the exam? Why didn't you tell mom?"
"I took the test in early March, and the results came out in late March. I just got the documents yesterday. I thought I'd tell everyone after I got the documents."
Although I feel confident, I still want to wait until I get the documents before telling everyone.
"Yes, yes, you are indeed my good son who is both good in character and academics, mature and steady. Let's go home and celebrate with you."
Zhao Yuanlan took him back and bought a lot of food.
As for the matchmaker, after seeing Zhao Yuanzhen off, he quickly changed his clothes, washed and dressed up, hired a sedan chair, and went to Shangshu Yue's mansion.
The servant at the door, upon hearing that it was the official media, hurried to inform the mistress.
After a while, he led the matchmaker to the hall.
Upon hearing that the official media had arrived, Mrs. Yue and her two sisters-in-law were waiting in the hall.
"My humble self is Matchmaker Zhou. Nice to meet all the ladies."
Matchmaker Zhou looked at so many people and quickly bowed.
"Matchmaker, you are polite. Please take a seat."
Madam Yue asked people to sit down, and the maid promptly ordered tea and snacks.
"I wonder what the matchmaker Zhou is talking about today?"
Mrs. Yue asked.
"Mrs. Yue, great joy. Congratulations!"
"I don't know where the joy comes from?"
"Madam Yue, you may not know that today, General Zhao's biological sister from General Anguo's Mansion came to ask me to come to your mansion to act as a matchmaker."
He turned out to be a first-rank general, a popular man in front of His Majesty, and he specifically came to his house to propose marriage. Is it the turn of their Yue family to get this enormous wealth?
Mrs. Yue was very excited.
"I wonder what General Zhao wants to say?"
Mrs. Yue was afraid that she had made a mistake, so she asked quickly.
The eldest daughter-in-law at the side rolled her eyes secretly. He was a first-rank general, so he must be talking about his own daughter, otherwise it could be that old maid who couldn't get married!
"It's the third young lady of the Yue family."
Miss Yue has two older brothers, so she is the third Miss Yue.
After hearing this, the eldest lady of the Yue family felt something was wrong and asked anxiously.
"The Third Miss of the Yue Family? You heard me right. I am already 26 years old this year. You must have made a mistake."
Only my daughter could be a good match for such a good marriage, how could it be that old maid's? The matchmaker must have heard it wrong.
"Be rude, don't be rude. Back off."
Mrs. Yue quickly asked the eldest young lady to leave.
This eldest daughter-in-law is becoming more and more outrageous. She bullies her daughter every day when she is not around, and now she is becoming even more unruly.
"Yes, it's Miss Yue. General Zhao is 38 years old this year, in good health, without any illness. He lost his parents at a young age, and has only one younger sister. The backyard is also clean, and there are no concubines or maids."
The matchmaker talked about Zhao Yuanlan's situation.
