Chapter 104 Peach Blossom Sister, I Like You!
Zhao Taohua widened her eyes and said, "I have not agreed to marry Brother Sheng'an yet."
Although I grew up with Sheng'an, I don't know him very well.
I still have a lot to learn, and I can make a decision only after I've learned everything..."
"Then you should try to understand me!"
Before Zhao Taohua could finish speaking, Shen Ming interrupted, and placed Zhao Taohua's hand on his chest.
"???"
In an instant, Zhao Taohua was completely dumbfounded. What did she mean by getting to know him?
"Peach Blossom Sister, I like you!"
I can't imagine you marrying someone else; I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life.
Please give me a chance to get to know me, okay?
I will definitely make you satisfied.
At this moment, Shen Ming wished he could take his heart out and show it to her, so that she would understand his feelings.
He was so anxious that fine beads of sweat slid down his cheeks without him even noticing.
His words poured out like a machine gun, every single one brimming with love for Zhao Taohua.
The mother fungus standing in the yard suddenly realized what was going on.
It turns out that he had been standing outside his own courtyard wall, eavesdropping on his master's conversation with Matchmaker You.
Zhao Taohua stared at him blankly, her eyes filled with confusion. Did he like her?
Shen Ming's words stirred up a storm in her heart, throwing her originally calm mind into chaos.
Looking into Shen Ming's burning gaze, she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
However, as he held her hand for a long time, a lot of spiritual energy surged into her body.
How wonderful it would be if he could hold my hand forever?
Suddenly, Zhao Taohua felt that Shen Ming was a good option for her; at least being with him would help her replenish her spiritual energy.
If they become husband and wife, they can legitimately and freely hold each other's hands to obtain spiritual energy anytime, anywhere.
When Zhao Taohua thought of this, she immediately felt that it was a good idea.
If she marries someone else in the future, and he marries someone else, it would be immoral for them to have any physical contact.
Zhao Taohua looked up and stared intently into Shen Ming's eyes. His gaze was intense, but hers was even more intense and resolute.
"I will marry you!"
Her voice was clear and firm.
In an instant, Shen Ming's eyes shone brightly!
The brows that had been slightly furrowed due to tension instantly relaxed, and a smile spread from the corners of her mouth to the corners of her eyes, with even her eyes filled with the light of joy.
He suddenly and gently pulled Zhao Taohua into his arms, his arms trembling slightly, as if afraid that this was all a dream.
"Peach Blossom Sister, believe me, I will love and take care of you with all my heart from now on, and I will never let you suffer any grievances."
As Shen Ming spoke, he lowered his head and moved closer to Zhao Taohua.
Zhao Taohua could clearly feel his breath spraying onto her cheeks.
Just when she thought Shen Ming would kiss her, Shen Ming only lightly touched her forehead with his, not daring to overstep the mark.
……
Just as Matchmaker You was about to leave Zhao Family Village, she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.
Turning her head, she saw Shen Ming running towards her: "Grandma You, wait a moment!"
"Shen Ming, do you want Grandma You to help you find a husband?"
Matchmaker You asked with a smile.
She remembered the last time she went to his house to help him find a spouse, he flatly refused her.
However, at that time, she also noticed some clues.
Shen Ming already had someone he liked.
That's why I came to see her today!
Shen Ming nodded somewhat embarrassedly, his thoughts immediately seen through by Matchmaker You.
"Grandma You, please come to my house for a bowl of tea, and I'll tell you slowly."
Shen Ming prepared a bowl of sweet soup to serve to Matchmaker You, who was quite satisfied with it.
"Shen Ming, tell me, which girl have you taken a fancy to? What's her name?"
Matchmaker You put down her bowl and asked.
“Peach Blossom Sister, please help me to propose marriage to the Zhao family. I wish to marry Peach Blossom Sister.”
After saying that, Shen Ming gave Matchmaker You a red envelope containing fifty large coins.
"??? Peach Blossom? Zhao Peach Blossom from your village?"
She came today to arrange a marriage for Zhao Taohua, but unexpectedly, there were two young men in Zhao Family Village who were interested in Zhao Taohua.
It turns out that Shen Ming was in love with Zhao Taohua!
However, Shen Ming is already nineteen years old this year, a full four years older than Zhao Taohua.
He has no parents to care for him, and he is all alone in his home.
It also has a head of white hair, which looks rather strange.
The matchmaker took the red envelope he gave her and said, "You want me to help you propose to the Zhao family? No problem."
However, Peach Blossom is a very opinionated girl, and she makes most of her own decisions about her marriage.
If she doesn't like you, this relationship won't work out.
Furthermore, you're not the only one who likes peach blossoms, so you should be prepared that things might not work out in the end.
Or, I can give your birth date and time to Peach Blossom first, let her take a look. If she takes a liking to you, then you can go to the Zhao family to propose marriage.
Otherwise, if the Zhao family rejects your betrothal gifts, it will severely damage your reputation and affect your future marriage prospects.
Out of respect for the large sum of money he had given her, the matchmaker, You, tried to persuade him kindly.
Aside from the aforementioned shortcomings, Shen Ming would be perfectly worthy of any other girl he were interested in.
However, if this person is Zhao Taohua, then something is missing.
Shen Ming didn't care at all, and simply said, "Grandma You, you just need to deliver the betrothal gifts to the Zhao family on my behalf."
If you look closely, you'll notice a faint smile in Shen Ming's eyes at that moment.
He knew that Peach Blossom Sister would definitely agree.
However, it's not appropriate to tell Matchmaker You right now; we must preserve some of Peach Blossom's ladylike reserve.
Seeing that Shen Ming was determined to propose marriage directly to the Zhao family, Matchmaker You had no choice but to agree.
Shen Ming wanted to strike first.
Furthermore, the betrothal gifts he mentioned were very generous, including not only wine, food, clothing, and jewelry, but also mooncakes symbolizing sweetness and happiness, and glutinous rice balls signifying reunion and bliss.
In addition, another twenty taels of betrothal gifts will be given, and ten taels of money will be given to the Zhao family to prepare for the wedding.
That's thirty taels!
In all her decades as a matchmaker, she had never encountered such a generous betrothal.
"Okay, Grandma You agrees to help you propose to the Zhao family."
"Take the money and come with me to buy the betrothal gifts."
Because Shen Ming was the only person in the Shen family, Matchmaker You had to personally take him shopping to avoid any mistakes.
……
Zhao family.
After Shen Ming left, Zhao Taohua did not go out immediately.
Now that she has decided to marry Shen Ming, the three people who were planning to go to town to have their faces checked no longer need to go.
There's no rush to make a silver hairpin and set pearls on it.
Taking advantage of the spiritual energy within her body, she wanted to quickly finish calculating the matters she hadn't completed last time.
"Master, it's raining outside. Please come inside so you don't get wet."
At that moment, the mother's reminder rang in my ears.
Zhao Taohua looked up and said, "It's raining."
The recent rains are like a child, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, sometimes raining and sometimes sunny.
As soon as Zhao Taohua returned to the main room and sat down, her brows furrowed slightly as soon as she began to pinch.
Immediately afterwards, her face turned deathly pale, and her originally rosy lips lost all color.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
"The mother spirit asked worriedly."
Zhao Taohua's eyes were filled with terror and disbelief, as if she had seen something extremely horrific.
Zhao Taohua's voice trembled: "So that's how it is..."
No wonder there's been so much rain lately; the spring rains have been continuous, almost abnormally so. So that's why.
"Master, how are you doing?"
The voice of the mother spore rang out again.
Zhao Taohua walked out of the main room. As soon as she stepped into the light rain, the fungus spirit immediately held up an umbrella for her.
Zhao Taohua explained, "This summer, torrential rains have caused landslides and mudslides to hit the village!"
