He sat there, his whole body stiff and tense.

>

A pair of eyes, yet they were fixated straight on one of the two figures entering.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!

Following his gaze, Yang Ruqing also excitedly looked over.

I immediately saw Zhou, the matchmaker from Changping Village.

The matchmaker, Zhou Meipu, was a well-known figure in Changping Village. She was famous throughout the surrounding villages as well.

Why?

Because she had been a matchmaker for most of her life, connecting people everywhere.

>

Yang Ruqing knew that her own parents had also been matched by this Zhou matchmaker!

The village gossipmonger wasn't particularly interesting, but the strange girl standing beside her caught my eye.

When Yang Ruqing saw the girl at first glance, her eyes lit up. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

This girl is really pretty!

She is tall and slender, with fair skin, curved eyebrows, and rosy lips.

Soft, black hair was styled into a bun at the top of her head, held in place by a hairpin carved from bamboo.

The remaining strands of hair were braided into a few shiny plaits that hung down her back.

Though she was dressed in a plain blue cotton gown, not a single flower adorned her hair nor a touch of rouge her face.

But that simple and delicate appearance, like a little vegetable flower swaying in the wind and rain, is so pitiful!

>

As a woman, Yang Ruqing couldn't help but feel something when she first saw the young miss from the Bao family.

What about Yang Huazhou, the hot-blooded man?

Thinking this, Yang Ruqing secretly glanced at her fifth uncle.

She found that Fifth Uncle's face was already flushed red.

He sat there, seeming calm and collected. However, his breaths were heavy and rapid.

His fingers gripping the teacup were tense, his fingertips trembling slightly uncontrollably.

The man's eyes were like a burning flame, following Miss Bao's every move as if he wanted to roast her alive.

Yang Ruqing giggled.

>

Uncle Five has fallen head over heels for Miss Bao at first sight.

This man is truly a visual animal, huh? Why wasn't he keen on meeting before, but now, his eyes are wide open.

Heh heh!

But, I don't know what Miss Bao thinks of Uncle Wu...

Thinking this, she once again raised her head and looked in that direction.

There, as soon as she stepped into the shop, Zhou Meipao immediately spotted the three uncles and nephews of Lao Yang's family sitting at the table over there.

The matchmaker smiled knowingly and was just about to turn her head to signal something to the young lady from the Bao family.

Just then, a small figure rushed over and hugged Bao Jia's legs directly.

"Ah... sniffle...sniffle..."

He is the little boy who was just punished to stand.

Miss Bao looked down at the little boy, who was hugging his legs and crying pitifully. Her heart ached so much that her pretty face contorted with sympathy.

She hurriedly bent down, picked him up, and gently stroked his back, soothing him softly.

“Good boy, what’s wrong? Why are you crying like this?”

The child just cries and doesn't know how to express their grievances yet.

She smiled helplessly, freeing one hand to pull out a clean handkerchief and wipe the tears and snot from the little boy's face.

That child probably has rhinitis. His nose is running thick and long, like taffy.

She didn't show any disdain, and from behind her back, she magically pulled out a tambourine.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

"Don't cry, Dabao. Your aunt bought this for you. Do you like it?"

The little boy broke into a wide grin at once, took the tambourine and started playing.

Here on the table, Yang Ruohua and Dayan, who had been secretly watching everything unfold, exchanged a knowing glance.

Yang Ruqing lowered her voice and said, "This Miss Bao is beautiful, and she seems to have a good temper. She's so kind to children, even better than their own mother!"

"What you see isn't always true. This is just a look-see, and it might be a show for Uncle Wu."

Yang Ruqing nodded, it's possible!

Over there, the matchmaker winked at the child's mother, who looked curiously at Yang Ruqing and her table.

Just then, Yang Ruqing was also looking at her.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

When the woman learned that Yang Ruqing was from the Lao Yang family, she realized that her future sister-in-law would be Yang Ruqing.

The woman immediately changed her expression, smiling and nodding at the three people at the other table.

She haphazardly wiped the oil off her mouth and got up to come over.

“Come here, my darling!”

The child was still tightly hugging Bao Jia girl's neck, refusing to let go.

Little Bao's sister pleaded with her sister-in-law weakly: "Sister-in-law, Big Treasure has just been coaxed to sleep. Let me hold him for a while longer. I'll give him back to you later..."

The woman's eyes instinctively widened, then she realized what was happening and quickly forced a smile.

“Su Yun, what nonsense are you talking about? Today you're here for serious business, holding a baby in your arms, what kind of image is that!”

Bao Suyun, hearing this, finally let go of her grip. With reluctance, she allowed her sister-in-law to take the eldest child away.

The woman, holding her child, walked straight to the back of the shop and said she was taking the child to the latrine.

Here, Zhou Meipu lightly touched Bao Suyun's arm and said, "Suyun, come sit here with us for a while!"

Bao Suyun raised her eyelids and glanced at Yang Huazhou at the other side of the table, then quickly lowered her head.

The girl's face blushed a wide expanse.

She gave a soft, barely audible "mm" and was dragged over by Zhou Ma, blushing shyly to Yang Ruoqing's table. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Just as I walked into the shop, I saw your Lao Yang family! What a coincidence!" Zhou Meizhu greeted with a smile.

Everybody knows what's going on.

But, despite the awkwardness of the situation, Zhou Meipu still had to say some polite words.

Out of politeness, Yang Huazhou and Yang Ruqing hurriedly stood up.

Yang Huazhou was so nervous that he even knocked over the teacup on the table when he got up.

The tea was spilled, soaking a large portion of her clothes.

He stood there, his face flushed, suddenly feeling a bit embarrassed.

Yang Ruqing, seeing the situation, hurriedly made a joke: “Haha, this tea is so fragrant! It would even save me some soap when I wash my clothes later. Fifth Uncle, you did well!”

The matchmaker, hearing this, quickly jumped in and introduced the young woman from the Bao family beside her: “This young man is Yang Huazhou, the fifth son of Lao Yang's family from our village. The Lao Yang family is well-off. They don't even use wood ash to wash their clothes; they use soapwort!”

Miss Bao bowed her head slightly and nodded.

>

The matchmaker pointed at Bao Suyun and said to Yang Huazhou, "Her name is Suyun. Her sister-in-law is my mother's niece. This child, Suyun, is well-known for being capable in Baojia Village. She can wash clothes very well!"

Yang Huazhou also nodded, secretly glanced at Bao Suyun. This young couple had officially met.

Yang Ruqing tidied up the tea on the table and greeted with a smile: "Auntie Zhou, Miss Bao, you're standing for so long, why don't you sit down and talk?" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Upon hearing this, Bao Suyun raised her head and glanced at Yang Ruqing.

"This girl is..." Bao Suyun whispered.

Without waiting for Zhou Meiwu's introduction, Yang Ruqing smiled and introduced herself.

“My name is Yang Ruqing, this is my younger brother Dayan, our father is the third son of the Yang family.”

A clean and neat introduction, a generous smile, instantly made Bao Suyun remember.
