Madam Yan's Matchmaking Pavilion for Men

43 A Beautiful Day, Sharing Good News

The next morning, Yu Huang Rong got up and couldn't help but smile. Ah, today was the day he would be able to go to the matchmaking pavilion and tell Madam Yan the good news. Then she could finally tell him what the next steps were and he would be able to get married to Zhang Shi Lan soon. This was a beautiful day!

He sat up in a fluid motion, rushed to wash up and put on a nice robe. Even though he didn't care too much what Madam Yan thought about him, he didn't want her to change her mind about him marrying Zhang Shi Lan either. So it was still better to make a good impression. And, well, that would also prevent his mother from being too nitpicky.

He tied up his hair and then hesitated, taking out the hairpin the Zhang Shi Lan had given him yesterday. He really wanted to put it on but ... he was afraid that somebody would notice. Although wearing what Zhang Shi Lan had worn did have quite the appeal.

Yu Huang Rong sighed and put the hairpin away. Even though he really would've liked to wear it, he also understood that it was better not to do so. No, he shouldn't take a risk. Anyway, he would be able to speak about the next steps with Madam Yan today. Afterward, there would still be opportunities. If he wanted to, he could even swap hairpins with Zhang Shi Lan for the rest of his life.

He picked up one of his own hairpins and then left the room, going to look for his mother. Ah, he couldn't wait to finally go over to the pavilion! He could only hope that his mother was ready. She wouldn't take today of all days to —

He reached the room and furrowed his brows when he saw the scene inside. His mother was already up but she was still sitting in front of the dressing table and talking about some jewelry with the handmaiden.

Yu Huang Rong pursed his lips. "Mother, you haven't finished yet?"

Madam Yu looked up and raised her brows. "What is this? My son who has always refused to marry all these years is suddenly so eager to go to the matchmaker's? Don't tell me there really is a girl you like."

"I have no idea what you're talking about. Anyway, she already invited us over so let's hurry up. It wouldn't be nice to let the matchmaker wait. Didn't you also want to leave her with a good impression in the hopes that she would put in some more effort for me? So what are you doing taking so long?"

Madam Yu clicked her tongue. "Is that a way to talk to your mother? You should be happy that I know you so well and am already used to your bad mouth. If you speak to your future wife like that later on, won't you scare her away? You should learn to talk nicely! Then you certainly wouldn't have any trouble finding a wife."

Yu Huang Rong gritted his teeth but forced himself not to respond to that. He had already found the person he wanted to marry so what was there to worry about? He couldn't tell her that though so he could only gulp down his complaints. "Anyway, I'm just saying we should hurry up a little. It wouldn't be good if we're late."

Madam Yu shook her head. She really couldn't understand that son of hers. Had he really fallen in love? It certainly seemed that way if she thought about it. Unfortunately, she had no idea just who this possible future daughter-in-law might be. Just why was her son being so secretive? Could it be that the girl didn't have the right status? So he was afraid she wouldn't allow him to marry her? That could actually be! She should definitely ask that Madam Yan if she had noticed anything.

If there was a girl that her son liked, then she had to know! It was such a pity that he wasn't willing to talk about it on his own. She actually needed to ask another person to find out. If she admitted to that in front of any of the other Madams, they would probably laugh at her behind her back! Her son wasn't taking her face into consideration at all!
