Second Master Yun gave a warm welcome speech, which made Shopkeeper Guo very happy, so he also echoed Second Master Yun. After all, he was the male in his family, so he couldn't let him down.
"The Yun family is rich and powerful, and is famous in our area. Mr. Yun is even more famous in Dongjiang. Everyone knows about it. It would be an honor for my Guo family to be a relative of you.
Although Quanzi is not talented, he is well-read in poetry and books and has great ambitions at a young age. I am getting old, and I want my son to get married as soon as possible and inherit the ancestral business, so I am satisfied, and I hope that my second master will make it happen. "
Shopkeeper Guo was indeed not very strong physically and was still out of breath when speaking, but the sincerity he showed still satisfied the Yun family. It could be said that both families had the desire to continue promoting their children's marriage.
"I know that the matchmaker has already approved the birth dates of the two children, and I think both families have also had them approved. The horoscopes match up perfectly, so there's nothing serious about it.
The Yun and Guo families have a big business, and Mr. Guo and Mr. Yun are the leading figures in the area for hundreds of miles. The two children are well-educated, smart and beautiful. They are in their youth, the best age for marriage. What a perfect match!
It's an opportunity that can't be missed. I hope you two can make a decision as soon as possible to make this match made in heaven! "
Matchmaker Bao is indeed a veteran. She speaks eloquently and knows the timing accurately, which makes the Yun and Guo families very happy.
"Now that we are in the Republic of China, we should also let the two children meet. We old people think it is quite appropriate. If both children are happy, wouldn't it be more harmonious and beautiful?"
Second Master Yun still thinks that it would be better for Monroe to meet the eldest son of the Guo family. He believed that with the talents of the eldest son of the Guo family, Monroe would definitely change his attitude after meeting her, and Mr. Guo would also be satisfied with Monroe's dignity and beauty.
So Mrs. Yun, the Yun family's aunt, second mother, and third mother went to call Monroe. But Monroe was nowhere to be seen, but under the strong urging of her grandma, she simply dressed up and came to see the Guo family and his son.
After arriving at the main house, Monroe was introduced by the matchmaker, met the Guo family and his son, and then hid aside without saying a word, with traces of crying showing on her face.
It was only after many inquiries from matchmaker Bao Matchmaker and shopkeeper Guo that Monroe said that she was still young and had never seen the world, so she was not worthy to compare with Mr. Guo.
"Young Master Guo has read poetry and books since he was a child, traveled all over the country, and seen the world. It would be unfair to the Guo family and the young master to find a peasant girl as his wife.
Monroe hopes that the Guo family can find a young lady from the city, so that they can honor their ancestors and not disgrace their family. I, Yun Menglu, know that I am not good enough for Mr. Guo, so I will not climb high. I hope that Mr. Guo will forgive me. "
After Monroe finished speaking, she left alone. This made the Yun family somewhat embarrassed, but as Mr. Yun was such a person, he immediately excused himself by saying that his daughter was too shy to express herself. However, shopkeeper Guo still saw that Monroe was not very satisfied.
"Second Master Yun, the two children have also met. I think the marriage will be settled just like this."
Matchmaker Bao doesn't care what Monroe thinks. Based on her years of experience in keeping matchmakers and pulling women, no matter how much the children disagree, as long as the parents agree, the marriage is almost certain.
"Monroe has never left home since she was a child. Although she has studied for a few years, she is still young, has not seen much of the world, and her words are not reliable. I wonder what Mr. Guo wants?"
Second Master Yun regretted letting Meng Lu come out to meet and had to smooth things over for her, which was quite shameful. But now that the matter has come to this, Mr. Yun no longer wants to take into account his daughter's feelings. He wants Shopkeeper Guo to express his position again.
"Girls are shy, and they won't say it even if they say they don't want to. Anyone who says they don't want to is always happy in their heart. I've seen this happen many times."
Matchmaker Bao used her own experience to explain to everyone that she really wanted to facilitate this marriage. Shopkeeper Guo also had the same idea, so he coughed and expressed his opinion.
"Well, when it comes to marriage, parents make the decision. I think Monroe is a good kid, and I'm satisfied with it. It's just that Monroe doesn't seem to agree with the marriage."
"All literate girls are like this, never saying anything sarcastic. I can see that Miss Monroe agrees in her heart. She will definitely make no mistake when marrying her in the future, so you two can rest assured."
Matchmaker Bao confidently guaranteed that it didn't matter whether Monroe or others agreed or not. As long as the two parents agreed, things would not be reversed and her red envelope would be more secure.
"The two children are of the same age and match each other in appearance. If Shopkeeper Guo is satisfied, the marriage will be decided."
Mr. Yun thought twice and hesitated, but finally made the decision.
"Okay, Mr. Yun and Mr. Guo are both cheerful people. Congratulations to both families. In the future, the two great watchmen will definitely work together to help each other, prosper in both people and wealth, and prosper!
As a matchmaker, I am so happy. This is the happiest marriage I have ever facilitated in my life. I can complete a match made in heaven for the Yun family and the Guo family. This is God’s help! Hurry up and put the wine on the table. Congratulations! "
Matchmaker Bao seemed to have accomplished the most glorious event in her life, and she was almost dancing with joy.
"That's natural. Let's have dinner now and talk about some things at the wine table."
After Mr. Yun finished speaking, he motioned to put the dishes on the table. Of course, all the food and wine were prepared in advance. Firstly, it showed the enthusiasm of the Yun family, and secondly, it expressed the Yun family's approval of the marriage.
Amidst the laughter of everyone, toasts and blessings were heard constantly at the banquet, and the atmosphere was even more harmonious and happy. But until the Guo family and the matchmaker left, Monroe never showed up again.
Despite this, the marriage between the Yun family and the Guo family has been settled naturally. If nothing else happens, Monroe will definitely be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Guo family and enjoy all the glory and wealth.
Winter has arrived in a blink of an eye, and Duanlonggang has had good weather this year, and it is another good year. The farmers who returned the grain to the warehouse, stacked the firewood into the yard, and carried the work were all given wages. The farmers who have been busy for a year have a short period of leisure.
Since getting engaged, Monroe rarely went out of the backyard. Haizi was also busy with work and rarely saw Monroe. Although both of them have the desire to be together, they are afraid of meeting each other and don't know what to say.
Although there is often unknown pain in their hearts, the two still do not want to meet often, not only to avoid embarrassment, but also because they are afraid of Mr. Yun's sharp and dissatisfied eyes.
It was a winter morning, with snowflakes floating in the sky. Although the weather is not too cold this winter, it snows frequently, which indicates that next year will be a good year.
Haizi, who was clearing snow in the yard, saw Monroe coming out of the backyard and waved to him. Haizi looked around and quickly came to Monroe.
Although they were in the same compound, the two of them had not had many opportunities to meet each other recently, so they were still very excited when they met this time. They stared at each other's faces and didn't speak for a long time.
