Qiuniang was asked a few questions by A Zhen, and she told everything she knew about the iron mine.
Then A Zhen ordered Xie Xiaolian to send her out of the study.
"He Banban, what do you think?" A Zhen asked.
"From my perspective, Qiuniang only knows so much. An Huairen... is very thoughtful and it is impossible for Qiuniang to know more," He Shun said.
"That's right, An Huairen's revenge on Qiuniang is completely private... I conducted a secret investigation a few days ago, but I couldn't find the source of Yao Yinzi. Are Yao Yinzi and the iron ore completely unrelated, just a coincidence?" Xie Xiao Lian speculated.
A Zhen closed his lips tightly, thought for a while, and said: "I always feel that this matter is not that simple. Sister Mai Miao was first forced into the capital by Fan Shijie's servants, and then was kidnapped. Yao Yinzi are just children, why did they kidnap her? She It's not like Qiuniang and An Huairen have any personal grudges. Also, I vaguely heard at that time that her captor said she was a private worker."
Xie Xiaolian said: "The people who kidnapped you are all dead. I went to check and found five corpses. So it's hard to say who kidnapped Tian Maimiao. I think it's most likely Mrs. Fan. I heard It is said that Mrs. Fan was extremely harsh on Tian Maimiao and her daughter and forced them to leave. If Tian Maimiao becomes the princess, Mrs. Fan will be the first to deal with her. It is possible that she would take action out of such worries."
A Zhen remained silent.
It makes sense when you think about it.
After a while, he said: "Sister Mai Miao offended Fan Shijie and Zhenguo Mansion this time..."
"Master, I have inquired about this. Fan Shijie is flattering King Kang and wants to give him a princess, but King Kang is not very enthusiastic about this matter. Fan Shijie and the Zhenguo Mansion are protected by you and do not dare to do anything to Tian Maimiao." He Shun said.
"Send someone to keep an eye on it," A Zhen said.
"It has been arranged." Xie Xiaolian said.
A Zhen nodded.
"Besides, how's the iron ore thing going?" A Zhen continued to ask.
"The superiors have received news about the iron mine. It depends on who is sent." Xie Xiaolian said.
"Cough cough cough..." A Zhen coughed.
"Master, you'd better drink the medicine first." He Shun held up the medicine bowl.
A Zhen was not impatient and drank it obediently.
His cough has gotten much better. He coughs twice a day. Doctor Zhang said that he will be fine after taking medicine for two days.
He Shun was very pleased.
"Master, do you want Xiao Yuanbao to play with you? She is still eating fruit in the back."
After talking about business, He Shun mentioned Xiao Fuyuan.
A Zhen smiled and said, "I'll go find her."
He Shun waited for A Zhen to come out of the study. As soon as he stepped out, Aunt Zhang came over and said, "Housekeeper He, Mr. Bai from the opposite side came to say that he has something to do with you. I asked him to sit in the hall."
Ah Zhen glanced at He Shun.
He Shun didn't know what Bai Ban was looking for, so he left in a hurry.
"...Butler He, I have something to ask you for help." Bai Banban said sheepishly.
"What's the matter? Brother Bai, you're welcome, just say it." He Shun said humbly.
If there is any big thing for the villagers, He Shun will agree to it if the request is not too excessive.
Isn't this her daughter, who has her young master under her thumb?
For the sake of the young master, he naturally greeted Xiao Fuyuan's father with a smile and responded to his requests.
"That's it. My youngest is planning to marry Miss Mai Miao, and I would like to ask you to help me find a matchmaker. Do you think so?" Bai Banban said happily.
I didn't expect it to be such a big happy event.
He Shunxi smiled broadly and was a little moved.
They had only been neighbors for a few days, and the Bai family was thinking of him when it came to such a big matter as discussing marriage.
"Congratulations, Brother Bai." He Shun said happily.
"It's my honor that you allow me to help my third brother to be a matchmaker for such a big happy event. My third brother and Mai Miao were my lifesavers back then. Logically speaking, I should agree, but..."
When Bai Banban heard "just", his heart sank, but he didn't mean to be unhappy.
Originally, it was very abrupt to ask someone to be a matchmaker, and it was reasonable for them not to agree.
He Shun didn't agree, he was just looking for the village chief.
"I can understand if it's inconvenient for Butler He. You're in charge of such a big house, so you have to worry about everything. But I came to the door without thinking carefully." Bai Banban said apologetically.
He Shun was neither inconvenient nor unwilling.
Mainly because he has something to hide.
He knew that private matchmakers wanted to have a good start, and it was best for matchmakers to be well-off people with parents and children.
He is a disabled person with no father, no mother and no home, so I'm afraid it's not right.
"It's not inconvenient. I just think there is someone more suitable." He Shun said, "I recommend a person to Brother Bai. He couldn't be more suitable."
"Who?" Baiban asked.
"Lord County Magistrate Liu Hong," He Shun said.
The white board thought to himself, if you really think about it, pull it down.
Who is the county magistrate? Although he has come to my house several times, one is a citizen and the other is an official, so they are at different levels.
He rushed to the county government office to invite the county magistrate to be his son's matchmaker, fearing that the police would throw him into jail.
Even for his reputation as a tiger-killing hero, he couldn't do this evil thing.
"Let me think about this matter again." Bai Banban waved his hand, "I don't want to bother the magistrate."
What Bai Banban wants to say is that his relationship with the magistrate is not that good.
"Brother Bai, I think Mr. Liu will definitely be willing to protect your third brother's match. Listen to me, the Bai family is the home of tiger fighting heroes. Tian Maimiao has made great contributions to rescuing the abducted children. As a parent officer, Mr. Liu Hong will give two It is also a good story for a meritorious person to protect a matchmaker."
Said white wooden board moved his mind.
"I have some friendship with Mr. Liu, so let's do this. I'll write to him and ask him to help the third brother and Miss Mai Miao be a matchmaker." He Shun, a good man, stayed true to his word and promised that he would personally handle the matter.
"This is not good." Bai Banban said with great sincerity.
The matchmaker pursues a consensual relationship. Although he doesn't know who A Zhen is, he can forcefully rely on his background to pressure others to protect the matchmaker. Isn't this a hindrance to a happy event?
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu will be very willing." He Shun said firmly.
"Then, why bother the housekeeper?"
The white wooden board left with satisfaction.
It would be great if the county magistrate could protect his son's matchmaking.
Everyone knows about Liu Hong, the official of his parents, but they don’t know about He Shun, the butler across from him.
It was rumored that Liu Hong personally protected the matchmaker, and no one would dare to disturb Tian Maimiao's butcher shop again. In the future, after Sanzhuang and Maimiao get married, they will go to the county to do business. They are unfamiliar with the place and hold the banner of the county magistrate to protect matchmaking, so that they can start business.
Another point is that Bai Sanzhuang has given up being his son-in-law and wants to get engaged to Tian Maimiao. The shopkeeper of the Xu family will definitely lose face when he finds out. With the county magistrate as a shield, he will not be able to embarrass Sanzhuang.
Bai Banban thought for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that asking Liu Hongbao as a matchmaker was the best thing.
He Shun finished writing the letter and arranged for someone to go to the county.
"What does Uncle Bai want from you?" A Zhen asked in the evening.
"Ask me to be a matchmaker for Sanzhuang and Maimiao. I think Liu Hong is more suitable, so I sent him a letter hoping that he would come forward." He Shun said.
A Zhen thought for a while and said, "He Banban, sister Mai Miao's father is almost dead. She is alone and has no family to support her when she gets married. How about you accept her as your goddaughter?"
