The younger sister hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up and handed it to Qingya.
Ruan asked the woman to sit down and drink tea.
Qingya opened the invitation, read it for a while, and said to the old woman: "Thank you for your girl Qingmu.
Please reply to Miss Xia and say that I will be there on time."
The woman took a sip of tea and then said goodbye with a smile.
Qingya handed the invitation to Ximei and took it back to the room to collect it.
Mrs.
Wu quickly asked what was going on with the begging party and whether all the merchant girls were going there.
Qingyao said: "Xia Zhizao's daughter runs it, and anyone with some respect will invite her."
Wu's face was filled with joy after hearing this.
Just as he was about to speak, another person came to the door.
This time it was the matchmaker.
I came here to propose marriage to Qingya.
The other party is a second-rate brocade merchant, and his family background is relatively good compared to the Guo family.
However, since the Wu family started business with the Guo family, she has made friends with the nine major brocade merchants, so her vision is naturally different; moreover, now that the Guo family has become an imperial merchant, their ambitions are even higher; and, she wonders what will happen to her daughter.
She also wanted to marry into a brocade weaving family, and she couldn't be any worse than Xie Yinyue.
In addition, Qingya had said that she would not consider the marriage for the time being, so she made the decision and declined.
The matchmaker was very sorry, but not surprised.
She was originally entrusted to come here because that family saw the Guo family's prospects at the brocade weaving conference.
It was estimated that Guo Qingya would be very popular in the future, and wanted to come to propose marriage before other families took action.
Maybe the Guo family was worried about their daughter's life. , maybe the marriage will be agreed.
Who knows whether it will work or not After sending the matchmaker away, Mrs.
Wu came to the inner room.
Qingya, her brother, sister-in-law and others were eating.
Mrs.
Wu sat next to her daughter, fanning her and watching her eat with a smile.
Qingya smiled at her and continued eating.
After eating, the fifth aunt and a daughter-in-law came to collect the bowls and chopsticks.
Ruan and Ximei made tea for everyone to drink while chatting.
Wu told Qingya about the matchmaker's arrival.
She was still a little tempted, and wanted to ask Qingya what kind of person she was looking for, so that she could be more careful in the future.
Otherwise, you can't just reject the one who comes.
If you really miss her, you won't regret it.
As a mother, of course she wants to see her daughter get married.
Guo Dayou and Ruan looked at Qingya.
Ruan thought carefully and said, "Little sister, let's find out."
Qingya didn't want to tell them this.
It’s not that we don’t want to talk to them, it’s that we all have different ideas.
Not easy to communicate.
What she was thinking couldn't be explained in a word or two.
She wasn't used to explaining the reasons at length.
But her family members all care about her, and it would be wrong not to make it clear.
She then said to Mrs.
Wu, "Let's talk about it in two years."
Wu was very confused: "You will be eighteen in two years."

Qingya is also very confused: "Is eighteen very old?"
Wu said: "It's not that I'm old.
I won't be able to find boys of average age.
Whose son hasn't been engaged early and is still young.
But the girl's family is two or three years older than the boy."
If there are too many, it won’t work, and people won’t be happy.”
Qingya has already been fooled by this theory once, and she refuses to be fooled again this time.
She tried hard to explain: "Mom, the person who came here to propose marriage is not interested in me.
He is interested in my ability to knit.
We are not familiar with them.
Wait two years to find out their details.
Who is good and who is not good?
Find out who is good and who is not.
Don’t suffer any loss.”
Guo Dayou immediately said: "Just follow my little sister."
He winked at his mother cryptically.
Ruan also said in time: "Mother, the emperor's daughter has no worries about getting married.
Why do you think we can't compete with the princess, nor can we compete with the officials, but we can't compete with the past when the shop just opened last year.
No.
There are many people who come to ask for marriage, but those who come now are from the city.
As long as the Guo family gets ahead and the younger sister is so capable, she is afraid that she will not find a good family.
Miss Yan is not young anymore, so she is not in a hurry.
Miss Xie is also a few years older than the younger sister.
Even though they are engaged, she is not We are in a hurry to get married; our little sister is younger than them, so we don’t have to worry at all.
We need to choose carefully.”
As he spoke, he gave Wu a look that could only be understood but not explained.
Qingya looked at her second sister-in-law with admiration, feeling that she just knew how to talk.
This is because she has not read the book, otherwise it would be more profound.
Although her words just now were straightforward, what she understood clearly was: if there is intrinsic value and extrinsic value, plus the potential for future appreciation, age at marriage is not a problem, nor is past background.
Seeing her expression, Mrs.
Ruan was afraid that she would no longer take the marriage seriously, so she quickly added: "But little sister, we can't delay too much.
We have to make the marriage appointment before the age of twenty."
It was not easy for Qingya to achieve this result, so she nodded hurriedly.
When Mrs.
Wu came to her senses, she said, "My mother will follow you.
In the future, if anyone comes to propose marriage, my mother will go back."
Qingya smiled, took the fan from her hand, and fanned her.
Mrs.
Wu enjoyed her daughter's thoughtfulness and was very satisfied.
She hugged Qiao'er and sighed: "Ai Niang, I never dreamed that the Guo family would have such a day."
She lowered her head and told Qiao'er, "Qiao'er, you have to learn from my sister-in-law.
Our old Guo The daughter of the family is better than others."
Qiaoer said crisply: "Grandma, I study every day."
Guo Qin said dissatisfied: "Grandma, there is still me."
Guo Jian also said: "There is also me."

He felt that his sense of existence was too weak and he was very dissatisfied.
Wu and others all laughed and said: "You still use people to say that boys have to stand up to the family.
If grandma doesn't tell you, you won't be able to live up to your expectations.
You don't need people to say that you will be successful only if you live up to your expectations."
Guo Qin instantly felt that he had grown taller, and his heart for self-improvement was as hard as iron.
Everyone was laughing and joking, but Guo Dagui was unhappy.
Now that the Guo family is well, it will be easier for him to find a wife, but it will be difficult for his younger sister to marry.
There is injustice in this world between men and women At this time, Dong'er and Guo Pandi came.
Mrs.
Wu hurriedly brought out a few children and asked them to talk about business.
Dong'er reported to the Guo brothers and sisters the situation in the workshop in the west of the city, saying that after the intervention of the weaving yamen and the county government, the promotion of public machines went more smoothly, and the people both trusted and were grateful to the Guo family.
Guo Dayou asked: "Has word spread about recruiting workers?"
Guo Pandi rushed to say: "The news has spread.
Many people want to sign up on the spot."
Guo Dayou and Qingya looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
Guo Dayou said: "Tell them not to worry.
Say we are not ready."
In fact, I am waiting for the court’s approval of the patent.
Once this matter is settled, the Guo family's operations will become more convenient.
Dong'er nodded in agreement.
Everyone discussed some trivial matters and dispersed at dusk.
Dong'er and the other two female stewards followed Guo Dagui back to Chengxifang, but Pandi stayed behind and said he wanted to talk to his mute sister.
In the next few days, a number of families including the Zeng family, Liu family, and Wei family proposed marriage to the Guo family.
The Zeng family proposed marriage for Master Zeng, the Liu family proposed marriage for Master Liu's younger brother, and the Wei family proposed marriage for Wei Zhao's younger brother.
The others were second- and third-rate brocade merchants, but they were all rejected by the Guo family.
Then, the Fang family came to the door grandly Yan Jipeng and Shen Yisan personally acted as matchmakers and proposed marriage for each other.
The Guo family still declined, saying that Qingya was devoted to weaving and had no intention of getting married for the time being.
Everyone knew it was an excuse, but they couldn't think of it.
These days, all businesses are very busy.
In Fang's home, there has been an endless stream of visitors since Fang Hanhai and his wife arrived.
After the brocade weaving meeting on July 1st, there was even more crowds.
On the evening of July 6, the main courtyard was entertaining merchants again.
Fang Ze did not attend, but huddled in his own courtyard.
I’m off the list, please support me with dividends.
