Chapter 197 Twin Sisters
Chapter 197 Twin Sisters
Shen Yuyao suddenly thought of her third sister-in-law Gu Meixiang.
Now, under the painstaking management of the third brother and his wife, "Jingrentang" has long become a brand known to everyone in the Great Xia Dynasty.
As a result, the third brother and his wife became well-known in Kyoto as "miracle healers".
When Shen Yuyao and her third sister-in-law talked about this, Gu Meixiang was happy to go on the trip for her.
That day, Gu Meixiang submitted a visiting card to the Zhang family.
Gu Meixiang had once treated old Madam Zhang for a rare disease, so when she arrived at the Zhang family, she was naturally received with great enthusiasm.
At first, Mrs. Zhang thought that Gu Meixiang was just returning the favor as a doctor, but the way Gu Meixiang handed in the visiting card so formally made Mrs. Zhang feel a little uneasy.
She thought that her symptoms might change, so Gu Meixiang came back to correct her.
But she hasn't felt anything unusual in her body recently. Instead, she seems to be in better shape than before she got sick.
Old Madam Zhang was feeling uneasy for a moment.
Gu Meixiang has always been gentle and generous. Seeing that Old Madam Zhang was a little uneasy, she hurriedly took Old Madam Zhang's hand and explained, "Old Madam Zhang, don't panic. I didn't come to the mansion today because of your illness."
Old Madam Zhang was very confused for a moment. Apart from the illness, could there be any happy event?
"Mrs. Shen, then you are..."
Gu Meixiang smiled slightly, "I wonder if there are any young ladies waiting to be married in the mansion? Can you call them out so that I can get to know them?"
Mrs. Zhang was shocked when she heard this. Could it be that Gu Meixiang came here to act as a matchmaker for someone else?
This is also unlikely.
As one of the best doctors in Kyoto, who doesn't know that Gu Meixiang and her husband Shen Yiren are both capable of bringing people back to life?
How can you have the time to act as a matchmaker for other people?
Unless this young man has an extremely close relationship with her.
In fact, recently Mrs. Zhang has often heard her son say that it is time for both of her granddaughters to find someone else's husband.
It’s just that both girls are very opinionated people, and my son has always doted on them, so I won’t force him to speak for them for the time being.
But girls cannot be kept at home when they grow up, and sooner or later they will start to talk about other people.
Some time ago, some of the minor officials' families who were well-matched with her had sent someone to ask about their opinions. She heard from her son that there were one or two that they were quite satisfied with, but they had not told the two maids yet.
Now that Gu Meixiang has come to propose marriage, it would be a good idea to have more options.
She was extremely satisfied with the character and family background of Gu Meixiang and his wife.
It would be great to be related to their family.
"Madam Yang, please go and invite the two young ladies to the front hall and tell them that there are distinguished guests who want to see them."
Nanny Yang beside her should be Madam Zhang's dowry maid. Upon hearing this, she walked out of the front hall with great joy.
Old Madam Zhang specifically asked the two young ladies to come to the front hall. They must be a very important family, so she asked the two young ladies to dress up beautifully.
Zhang Mingyu was staring at a copy of "Romance of the West Chamber" while her sister Zhang Mingbao was dancing with a sword in the garden.
She performed each move very seriously, but for some reason today, she even felt powerless in her sword moves.
"laugh!"
Seeing Nanny Yang hurriedly walking towards the garden, Zhang Mingbao was unable to stop in time and actually scratched Nanny Yang's wide sleeves.
"what!"
Nanny Yang was also frightened out of her wits by the sudden sword attack.
This is just to help the two young ladies find a boyfriend, how could it cost their lives?
"Ladies, the old lady asks you to go to the front hall quickly because there is a distinguished guest who wants to see you." Nanny Yang looked at her sleeves with lingering fear, then looked at Zhang Mingbao.
"Madame Yang, I hope you are not hurt." Zhang Mingbao hurried forward to check Madame Yang's sleeves.
"That's all right, that's all right," said Nanny Yang, "Hurry up and ask Miss Mingyu to go to the front hall with you. The old lady is waiting anxiously."
In Zhang Qi's family, it has always been Madam Zhang who has the final say. The mother of Zhang Mingyu and her sister has always been a gentle and easy-going person.
She never objected to anything that Mrs. Zhang decided.
"Why did grandma ask us to go to the front hall?" Zhang Mingyu stood up slowly. She had just walked out of the beauty of a book and her face was still a little flushed.
"Mrs. Shen, the owner of Jingrentang in Kyoto, is here to propose marriage for you." Nanny Yang said with a loving smile.
She watched these two sisters grow up.
The Zhang family had few descendants, and Old Madam Zhang had always complained about Zhang Qi's unwillingness to take a concubine. However, her daughter-in-law had a gentle personality and was very filial, so Old Madam Zhang did not make things too difficult for her.
"Talk about marriage?" Zhang Mingbao looked surprised: "Who said I'm getting married? I won't get married!"
"Which family are you talking about?" Zhang Mingyu was more rational.
Women in the Great Xia Dynasty would have already started looking for men when they reached their age, and those who were more impatient would already have babies in their arms.
However, ever since her sister brought back a portrait of her lover, Zhang Mingyu has lost her appetite and suffered from lovesickness.
Now that her family was looking for someone to marry them, Zhang Mingyu felt sad and bitter, because she knew clearly that there was a huge gap in family background between her and the person in her sister's portrait.
That’s the young master of Duke Cao’s mansion.
All the women in Kyoto dream of marrying into such a family.
Alas, since I can’t marry the person I love, then it doesn’t matter who I marry.
Zhang Mingyu was thinking about this, but Zhang Mingbao was not happy, "I said I won't get married! So you don't have to go and see it."
Nanny Yang said, "Oh, my second young lady, you can't just say you don't want to marry."
Zhang Mingbao raised his eyebrows: "If I say I won't marry, then I won't marry! Even if it's the young master of the Duke's Mansion, I won't marry!"
Zhang Mingyu was slightly startled, and then asked Madam Yang: "Madam, do you know which family you are talking about?"
Nanny Yang smiled and said, "It must be a very good family. The old lady didn't even ask, she just asked you two to go to the front hall."
After hearing this, Zhang Mingbao finally said, "I really don't want to get married. I already have someone I like!"
Zhang Mingyu's face suddenly changed, and he cried out in shock: "Could it be the person in the portrait?"
"It's not him!" Zhang Mingbao shook her head. She knew that she shouldn't say these words in front of Nanny Yang, but if she didn't make it clear now, she would most likely be forced to marry someone else.
"But the person I like is the eldest brother of the person in the portrait!"
"what!"
"Young ladies, please leave quickly. The old lady is really waiting anxiously."
After saying this, regardless of Zhang Mingbao's resistance, he took her hand and dragged her straight to the front hall.
"Miss, you should hurry up and catch up. The old lady wants you two to go together."
Zhang Mingyu was slightly startled, and finally realized that the person who came to propose marriage must be interested in one of their sisters.
I just don’t know whether these twin girls are the older sister or the younger sister?
