Chapter 1374: 200, A New Discovery (First Update) Chapter 1374: 200, A New Discovery (First Update) Pouring a cup of tea for the matchmaker herself, Lady Jiang smiled with so sycophantic charm, “Madam, you must be the Tao Hua who everyone in the Capital city praises as capable of successfully arranging anything, right?
Oh my, I have admired you for a long ti and have been longing to et you!”
Tao Hua stuffed an Osmanthus Cake into her mouth and waved her hand dismissively, “What successfully arranging anything?
Tao Hua is nothing special, just soone who has arranged marriages for a few Consorts in the Capital, you know.
The son of the Minister of Rites, his wife was matched by .
And the daughter of the Vice-President of the Hanlin Academy, she married the son of the Minister of Works, and that was a match I made too!
Oh, right, they already have a son and daughter, and now she’s pregnant with the third, they even invited to celebrate with drinks just the other day!”
Swallowing a mouthful of the cake, Tao Hua leaned toward Lady Jiang, grinning mischievously, “The couple is so sweet together, giving birth to one child after another.
According to Miss Lu, they want to have seven or eight children!”
Lady Jiang looked at the cake crumbs at the corner of Tao Hua’s mouth and her large yellow teeth, and she couldn’t help feeling a bit nauseous.
Added to that was the strong sll coming from her breath when she spoke close by, nearly making Lady Jiang vomit the food she had eaten the day before.
However, needing a favor from soone, she dared not show the slightest expression of disgust.
Only when Tao Hua withdrew her face did Lady Jiang hold her breath, forced a smile, and wiped her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
Seeing Tao Hua eat so happily, yet not ntioning the matchmaking matter, Lady Jiang grew anxious.
As Tao Hua was about to stuff another Osmanthus Cake into her mouth, Lady Jiang could no longer contain her impatience and asked, “That, dear Sister Tao Hua, you’ve arranged so many good matches, could you perhaps find a good husband for my daughter too?”
Tao Hua’s eyes darted around, and she didn’t finish the cake she was eating, casually throwing it onto the plate.
She brushed her hands off, scattering crumbs onto Lady Jiang’s face.
Lady Jiang slightly furrowed her brow but said nothing.
“Oh, what kind of husband is considered good, and what kind is considered bad?
Madam, you have to give a standard, after all!”
Tao Hua raised an eyebrow, giving Lady Jiang a knowing look.
Long before finding Tao Hua, Lady Jiang had already spread rumors, hinting at her desire to connect with the Prince.
Now, Tao Hua was deliberately baiting her into ntioning the reward again.
Lady Jiang sneered to herself, people say businesspeople are cunning, but this matchmaker was no piece of cake either!
“Sister Tao Hua, as long as you can arrange a good husband for my daughter, the benefits will naturally be substantial,” Lady Jiang said, suppressing the disdain in her heart and patting Tao Hua’s plump, sowhat dark hand.
Tao Hua wrinkled her nose, unimpressed by this act, “Oh, don’t call sister, sister, I can’t afford such a title from you, Madam!
As for the reward, well, when it cos to the husband, I have to see your sincerity.
If the sincerity is there, naturally the husband will be good.
If not, well, that’s another story.”
Lady Jiang’s mouth twitched.
She felt like flipping the table and sending the matchmaker away right then and there; this matchmaker was all about the silver—what sincerity?
Was it not all about how much silver she could offer?
“Why can’t you be called that?
If you arrange a good husband for my daughter, you’ll be her second parents, and naturally, you’ll be my sister,” Lady Jiang said with a smile, while pulling out A hundred taels silver note from her sleeve and pushing it under Tao Hua’s plump hand, “I certainly have the sincerity, and there will be even more after the matter is settled!”
Upon seeing the silver note, Tao Hua’s eyes imdiately sparkled.
She grabbed the note in her hand, all the while grinning as if she had really seen a beloved sister, “Sister, your sincerity is certainly enough.
Sister , I will definitely find a good husband for your dear niece!
Hmm, I think the best n in the Capital are the two Young Master Xias from the General Mansion.
What a pity, Young Master Xia is already married, and the younger brother has that Miss Lin by his side.
Tsk, what a ss, especially since the Xia family has no tradition of taking concubines.
Otherwise, I would definitely talk to the Xia Mansion for your dear niece!”
Hearing about Xia Mansion, Lady Jiang’s mouth fiercely twitched.
Was her daughter only fit to be a concubine to Xia Zheng?
What kind of matchmaker was this Tao Hua, who couldn’t even speak properly!
Perhaps sensing that her previous words hadn’t sounded nice, Tao Hua imdiately pretended to smile and slapped her own face twice as an apology, “Oh look at this foul mouth of mine!
My dear niece is too noble to be a concubine for anyone.
My niece is naturally destined to beco an Imperial Concubine!”
