The matchmaker stood to one side, not daring to say a word. She wore a smile so continuously that the muscles in her face became sore. Quite possibly, this was the easiest matchmaking job she had ever done in her career.
Since she set foot in the door and wished the household congratulations, there was barely anything more for her to do. The men and women of the family were already joyfully engaged in celebrating, leaving no opportunity for her to speak.
"Old man, what's the celebration? Why are there firecrackers at the gate?" Lou Zheng and Gao Dashan shouted before they even entered the door.
"Did Huiniang give birth?" A group of women also came over.
"We humble folks pay respect to the Prince." As soon as they entered the door, they saw the courtyard filled with boxes, all tied with bright red ribbons. Everyone froze. Then they saw Chu Suifeng standing jubilantly beside the patriarch and Lin Changshu, all quickly bowing and paying their respects.
