Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken

Chapter 193 The Matchmaker Arrives 1

Uncle Zhong, who had been silently watching all this from the sidelines, had a gratified smile on his face and couldn't help but think to himself: The prince has grown up!

Since Miss Long came to the manor, the prince has become much gentler. A smile can often be seen on his face; you must know, in the past, seeing the prince smile was harder than climbing to heaven.

Upon hearing this, Zi Guang clenched her hands tightly in excitement, thinking to herself: I never expected that the prince, who is always so serious, would have such a sweet side. Every time I saw the prince before, he was always expressionless and cold. I always thought the prince was very fierce!

But every time he faced a girl, his face was full of tenderness. Well, someone as outstanding as her certainly deserves the prince's favor! Hehe...

Those who helped carry the things in all lowered their eyes, and a knowing smile involuntarily appeared on their faces.

I couldn't help but think that when I got back, I should share what I had just seen and heard with the others.

As expected, news of the Qiushui Pavilion incident will spread throughout the Prince's mansion today.

Seeing the meaningful expressions on the faces of the people present, Long Chuqing sighed inwardly.

She looked at Xiao Han and saw him smiling faintly. She said, "If you say that, they'll all laugh at you! I can see them chuckling to themselves."

Upon hearing Long Chuqing's words, the group immediately looked up in fright, waving their hands repeatedly and saying in unison, "No, no."

Qingyang hurriedly explained, "Miss Long, please don't talk nonsense. We didn't make fun of the Prince, nor would we dare to."

Uncle Zhong also spoke up to explain, "Yes! Miss Long, please don't misunderstand us. We just found the interaction between the Prince and Miss Long very interesting. Seeing such a beautiful scene, we couldn't help but laugh."

The others nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's exactly what I mean."

Since Xiao Han dared to say it in front of so many people, he was naturally not afraid of their gossip. He said, "It's alright."

Knowing that the prince wouldn't blame them for this, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Long Chuqing pulled Xiao Han's hand and returned the storeroom key to him. "Thank you for your kindness, but I have enough to eat and wear now, and I lack nothing. I won't be going to your storeroom to move anything for the time being!"

"Besides, if I empty your storeroom, you won't be the only one coming to me for help." Long Chuqing glanced at the people present. "I can't afford to support so many people in your household, so let me continue to mooch off you!"

The others couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

"Alright." He turned around and handed the warehouse key back to Uncle Zhong.

Just as they were chatting idly in Qiushui Pavilion, two carriages stopped at the gate of the mansion at the same time.

Then, two middle-aged women stepped down from the carriage at the same time. Judging from their attire, they looked like matchmakers.

One of them was wearing a bright purple cotton dress with brightly colored flowers embroidered on the outer garment.

She lifted the carriage curtain, still clutching a purple embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and stepped out of the carriage. She turned her head to look to the side.

Just then, another carriage was parked next to them, and a person wearing a red and green cotton dress stepped out of it. The collar and cuffs of the dress were embroidered with floral patterns.

She held a red handkerchief in her hand, embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water, which was more festive than her outfit.

"Oh..." The woman in purple greeted another person warmly as she came out, her voice slightly high-pitched: "Isn't this Sister Zhang? What a coincidence to run into you here."

As she spoke, she lifted the hem of her dress and slowly stepped down from the carriage, then walked toward the carriage opposite.

"Oh, it's Xu Meizi!" The aunt in the red dress responded warmly, her voice slightly hoarse.

She stepped down from the carriage, lifting the hem of her dress, and waved the embroidered handkerchief with mandarin ducks in her hand: "Oh my, what a coincidence! What brings you here today?"

Matchmaker Xu gave her a reproachful look and gently pushed her arm with the handkerchief in her hand: "Look at what you're saying, isn't the point of coming here to arrange a marriage?"

“That’s true,” Zhang the matchmaker replied, then asked curiously, “So, whose family are you here to arrange a marriage for today?”

Matchmaker Xu pointed and said, "It's that Mr. Liu who owns several cloth businesses in the capital. He's the one who's arranging a marriage for their third son."

After hearing this, Matchmaker Zhang took a breath and fell into a brief moment of recollection. "Oh, I remember now, it's that third young master!"

"Speaking of which, his family also came to me last year. I introduced him to a girl, but he didn't like her. He said the girl was too quiet and not suitable. He also said that his family is in business and they need to find someone who can talk a lot."

After hearing this, Matchmaker Xu said, "Sigh, we've seen this kind of thing many times before. It's nothing new, and things don't always go so smoothly."

After hearing this, Zhang the matchmaker deeply agreed: "That's true. Everyone has their own ideas and standards, like radishes and cabbages."

The matchmaker, Xu, asked curiously, "And you, Sister Zhang? Who are you here to arrange a marriage for today?"

Zhang, the matchmaker, tucked her hands into the sleeves of her cotton coat and placed them in front of her, saying, "It's the eldest son of Boss Dong from the rice shop."

Matchmaker Xu recalled, "I do know this young master Dong. I've seen him a few times when I went to their house to buy rice. He's a decent person. He often helps with chores, is hardworking and reliable, and doesn't have the temperament of a young master. He's also strong and fit, unlike some weak scholars who would fall over at the slightest breeze. He's a down-to-earth person who's suitable for a stable life."

Matchmaker Zhang chimed in, "Sister Xu, you think the same way I do."

Matchmaker Xu said, "I also wanted to introduce a girl to him, but he said he didn't have any plans to get married yet. Now he's come to invite you here so quickly."

Matchmaker Zhang waved her hand: "Sigh... This wasn't his own idea. It was just that Madam Dong took a fancy to a girl yesterday! So she made the decision for him and came to me."

Matchmaker Xu replied, "Oh...I see!"

Just as the two of them were chatting, another carriage stopped beside them, and both Xu and Zhang, the matchmakers, looked toward the carriage at the same time.

An elderly woman dressed in a dark red cotton dress stepped down from the carriage.

Upon seeing the person alighting from the carriage, the two simultaneously called out, "Sister Yang..."

Matchmaker Yang greeted them with a smile: "Oh, you two are here too!"

The three women chatted for a while and discovered that they all had the same goal: they were representing three different families to find a husband for the same girl.

It turned out that during the wedding banquet at the Cheng residence yesterday, several ladies who sat at the same table as Long Chuqing took a liking to her after chatting with her.

Upon returning home, he sent people to prepare betrothal gifts and contacted three different matchmakers, asking them to come and propose marriage today.

The three matchmakers discussed it and couldn't help but wonder who this girl was.
