She raised her head and looked at Liang Duo in front of her, somewhat doubting whether this man did it on purpose.
Want to marry her?
You can say this casually!
"Shop Manager Qin, I know these words are very presumptuous, but the first time I met you, I wanted to marry you."
Liang Duo's expression was tense, his hands were clasped behind his back and clasped together tightly. He stared at Shopkeeper Qin, unwilling to miss any of her emotions.
"I'm sorry, the little lady just wants to keep the shop and raise her daughter. Mr. Liang has an outstanding character and I believe there will be many young ladies willing to marry you."
After experiencing what happened to the Hou family, Shopkeeper Qin no longer dares to trust men. She has money and can live without a man, so why step into a pit of fire again.
When Liang Duo was rejected by her, he looked sad and put the two boxes of fragrant beads in her hands.
"This is for you, please choose another purse for me."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket and put it on the counter. Shopkeeper Qin felt relieved when he saw that he didn't continue talking about marrying her, but at the same time he felt a sense of disappointment.
Shopkeeper Qin turned around while taking the purse, with a self-deprecating smile on his lips.
She has been really lonely for a long time, and even if someone said they wanted to marry her, they would be upset.
However, the failure of her last marriage made her timid and hesitant, and she did not dare to take another step, even though she knew that the other person was better than Hou Shixian.
Liang Duo looked at her back with a look of determination in his eyes.
Despite his gentle and elegant appearance, Liang Duo is very possessive in his heart and must get what he likes.
Shopkeeper Qin found a purse embroidered with green bamboo in crescent moon and handed it to him from the shelf. The purse was made of fine brocade material. The needlework of the embroiderer was also lifelike. The clusters of green bamboo seemed to be alive. Liang Duo
I liked it at first sight.
"Thank you, I like it very much."
"Well, as long as you like it."
Shopkeeper Qin pursed his lips and smiled softly. When he handed the purse to him, his fingertips touched the palm of his hand. Shopkeeper Qin hurriedly pulled it away, feeling that his fingertips were hot as if on fire.
The customers in the shop had already begun to look at her. Liang Duo couldn't bear to ruin her reputation, so he took his wallet and nodded and left.
When people walked out of the shop and could no longer be seen, shopkeeper Qin leaned back on her chair. She looked at the two boxes of fragrant beads on the counter and fell into deep thought.
On the other side, Liang Duo returned home. The green bamboo purse was hanging on his waist, which added a lot of color to his robes. Jiang Miao saw it at a glance.
"Mr. Liang went to Jinxiu Pavilion?"
This purse looks like the workmanship of Jinxiu Pavilion. The embroiderer came from Yuhua Pavilion, so she gave me the patterns.
Liang Duo stiffened and lowered his sleeves to cover himself up. The more he panicked, the more Jiang Miao could tell something was wrong.
"Yes, let's go buy some things."
Liang Duo looked reserved, not at all as generous as he was when facing Shopkeeper Qin.
Jiang Miao looked at him several times from head to toe. The clothes he was wearing were the new products of Yuhualou this month. The jade crown he wore was also a rare treasure. His hair and beard were carefully taken care of. It didn't look like he was visiting a shop, but more like
Go on a blind date.
Jiang Miao thought, Liang Duo might be in trouble.
She paid little attention to the people around Shen Yanqing. These subordinates were usually busy with official duties and she rarely met them, so she somewhat neglected their emotional life.
I only know that except for Li Biao, most of these men are still bachelors.
When I think about it this way, I feel a little miserable.
"Mr. Liang has someone he likes?"
Liang Duo's ears felt a little hot when she asked him. He held his purse in his hand and nodded uncomfortably.
"yes."
Shopkeeper Qin is also Madam's good friend. He might be able to ask Madam what Shopkeeper Qin likes.
"No wonder you dressed up specially today. As the saying goes, women should look good to please themselves, and it seems the same goes for men."
Jiang Miao's tone was joking, and Liang Duo's face turned even redder.
"Which lady is she from? When you do something good, sir and I can help prepare it."
"She hasn't agreed yet..."
Liang Duo's tone was bitter, and he still had to wait a long time to get Shopkeeper Qin to agree. Thinking about this, Liang Duo felt that it was better not to tell his wife yet, otherwise Shopkeeper Qin would be thin-skinned and would be even more uncomfortable.
Jiang Miao understood and encouraged.
"If you like it, go for it. If you need anything, you can come to me and the adults for help. But one thing is, you can't bully others."
"Yes, my subordinates know."
After the two of them talked, Liang Duo said goodbye and left. Jiang Miao took Qinglian back to the inner courtyard. She sat in front of the window and drank half a cup of tea, still thinking about Liang Duo.
"How many unmarried people are there in our house? Are there any marriage introductions at home?"
There have been many happy events in the Shen family recently, and Jiang Miao has also found the joy of being a matchmaker. There are so many singles in the house, and as the head of the family, she must help them get out of singles.
Qinglian thought carefully for a moment and then counted them out.
"Your Excellency, all the gentlemen there are not married yet. Except for a few women in our courtyard who have been married to Zhu Kuan's family, no one else is married yet."
This way, there are more than twenty bachelors.
Jiang Miao was speechless, she didn't expect there to be so many singles in their house.
Qing Lian and the others are better off, and they don't have to worry about their age. People like Liang Duo and Shi Lei are already over thirty. If you look at ordinary people's families, their children are already eldest, but they don't even have a wife.
Their conditions are not bad, but they are too busy on weekdays, surrounded by men, and have no chance to get along with women. Not to mention that these people's parents have died, and there is no one to arrange marriage. It is no wonder that they have been single.
"What do you think it would be like if I organized a blind date for them?"
Happy marriages for employees are also one of the benefits. There are a group of embroiderers in her Yuhua Building who are not married yet, so they can see if they can see each other.
Qinglian naturally agreed with Jiang Miao's decision. She had heard the guards in the courtyard complain before that her mother was urging her to get married, but he didn't have a girl he liked, so he couldn't just marry anyone back home.
Jiang Miao's method can make them look at each other, and whether it can come true depends on fate.
"This slave considers it."
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you to arrange. Count all the young ladies of suitable age in several shops. If you are willing to go on a blind date, give them a name tag."
"Also, the guards in our palace should go and investigate secretly again, so that those with bad character are not discovered, so as not to harm the young ladies of good families."
After all, getting married is a lifelong event. Since she is responsible for making arrangements, she must be responsible for these little ladies and cannot create enemies.
"yes."
Qinglian took the order and went out. Jiang Miao rested in the room for a while and then received a note from Prince Rui's Mansion.
Zhao Mingzhen invited her and Xu Zilan to go shopping tomorrow, and specifically asked her to bring Yingying with her. She missed the little girl.
"Okay, I've been holding back at home these days, so it's time to go out for a walk."
Jiang Miao agreed and went to pick out clothes for going out tomorrow. When Shen Yanqing came back, he frowned slightly when he saw the clothes piled up on the bed.
