What happened next was relatively simple. They just needed to convey the intentions of both parties through the matchmaker. There was no need for them to make a decision in person.

Zhao Qingmei then walked out of the teahouse and whispered a few words into Uncle Niu’s ear before getting onto the carriage with the help of Tan Yun.

“Sect… Miss. What happened to you?”

On the carriage, Zhao Qingmei’s face was flushed red like a ripe peach.

This Sect Master of her clan was usually ruthless, decisive, and full of evil. When she mentioned the Demon Sect Master, she was an existence that could make countless experts in Jianghushudder in fear. But now, such a scene had actually appeared.

“Repeat what you just said.”

“If Doctor An agrees, the wedding will be held this month.”

Tan Yun thought for a moment and repeated what she had just said.

Zhao Qingmei expressed assent, after which her face turned as red as a tomato. She leaned against the table feebly, appearing as if she had lost all her strength. However, there was a contented smile on her face.

It seemed that Brother Jing did not recognize her at all, but that was good too.

“Aye.”

Tan Yun could only sigh helplessly.

……

Niu Fu followed An Jing back to the private room.

“Doctor An, how is it?” Niu Fu could not wait to say, “Miss Zhao’s looks and figure are all top-notch. Furthermore, she comes from a noble family and is a descendant of a prestigious family. If I were to spread the news, who knows how many young masters in Yuzhou City would flock over like ducks?”

An Jing picked up the medicine pestle and shook his head. “It’s good, but I’m afraid that…”

She was beautiful and had a gentle personality. She looked like a well-bred young lady from a wealthy family and was the perfect match for a man. Judging from the way Zhao Qingmei left, she seemed to have something to hide.

“Doctor An, can you just tell me in a straightforward manner, if you want her as your wife?” Niu Fu interrupted An Jing.

“Me?!” An Jing raised his teacup and took a sip of tea as he asked, “Miss Zhao doesn’t seem very satisfied with me.”

“She said that she’s very satisfied with Doctor An. It’s best if the wedding date is this month.”

Niu Fu anxiously came in front of An Jing and snatched the teacup from his hand. “Give me a word, Doctor An.”

‘It was Ms Zhao who asked to come over, how would she not be satisfied with you?!’

‘How could you let go of an opportunity that is in front of you?’

At this moment, Niu Fu was like an ant on a hot pan, running around in circles. This great marriage opportunity only needed one word from An Jing.

Furthermore, as long as he succeeded, Miss Zhao would give him a hundred thousand coins.

An Jing blinked and said in surprise, “Miss Zhao really said that?”

He had not expected Zhao Qingmei to have such thoughts.

“Yes.” Niu Fu said with a serious expression, “When have I ever lied?”

“Miss Zhao was more than satisfied. As long as you agreed, you could get married on the spot.”

“Then let’s set the wedding date for this month.” An Jing smiled.

Niu Fu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard An Jing’s words. He was ecstatic.

100,000 coins!

That was 100,000 coins!

Dear God, thank you.

“Doctor An, please pack up. We will be organizing the wedding in a few days. I will go and arrange the wedding for you now.” Niu Fu rushed out of the door excitedly after he finished speaking.

An Jing looked at Uncle Niu’s dashing back and could not help muttering, “This Uncle Niu is really kind-hearted.”

……..

It was the seventh day of the seventh month in the Year of the Rat.

It was suitable to pray for blessings, offer sacrifices, get married, deal and trade. Meanwhile, taking medicine, seeking medical treatment, and moving should be avoided.

The Ji Shi Hall was hung with bright red lanterns and cloth, full of festive mood.

“The bride is here! The bride is here!”

“Doctor An is getting married!”

“I heard that the bride is very beautiful.”

At first, there was a series of crackling firecrackers. Then, a few children ran out happily.

There was an endless stream of people, one after another, stretching their heads out to watch the wedding.

The trumpets sounded along with the firecrackers.

“Congratulations, Brother Jing!”

“Congratulations! Congratulations!”

“Hope you give birth to a big fat kid next year.”

“Okay, okay, okay. You have to come when the fat boy is one month old.”

“An Jing, you’re really lucky to be able to marry such a beautiful lady. You must have accumulated 18 lifetimes of good fortune.”

“That’s right. How enviable.”

……..

At this moment, An Jing was receiving congratulations from the guests.

He was quite famous in Yuzhou City’s Ji Shi Hall, especially in the eyes of the poor citizens. An Jing was the kindest doctor in Yuzhou City.

“Everyone, feel free to eat well and drink well.”

An Jing almost could not hide the smile on his face, and he drank glass after glass.

There were a total of 17 to 18 tables in the banquet, and dishes were served one after another before being carried down with empty plates. An Jing walked from the stage to the stage, and he was constantly escorting the guests that arrived.

“Constable Han has arrived!”

A young constable dressed in black strode in.

“Congratulations, Brother An,” Han Wenxin said to An Jinghe.

Han Wenxin was one of the two greatest constables in Yuzhou City. His father, Han Ju, was a constable who passed away. He had a wide network of connections in Yuzhou City. In addition, Han Wenxin was indeed capable, making him a constable in Yuzhou City at a young age.

Due to an accident, several horses in Yuzhou City contracted the disease. At that time, Han Wenxin was in charge of this matter. He had invited eighty percent of the doctors in Yuzhou City, but none of them could do anything about the disease. In the end, An Jing took action and treated the horses to prevent the disease from spreading again.

Since then, Han Wenxin was grateful to An Jing and regarded him as a close friend.

“Brother Han, quickly sit.”

An Jing smiled.

“There’s no need to be so polite between us.” Han Wenxin smiled and casually found a seat to sit down.

“Brother Han, when the time comes, the two of us must have a good drink.” An Jing patted Han Wenxin’s shoulder.

“From then on, it became much more difficult for us to go out for drinks. Our reckless lifestyle from before has disappeared.”

Han Wenxin winked.

In the past, when they were free, Han Wenxin and An Jing often went out to listen to music and drink together. They had a good relationship.

“Drink? Have we drank together before? Brother Han, don’t speak nonsense,” An Jing glanced at Han Wenxin and said lightly.

Han Wenxin was confused.

An Jing changed his attitude even faster than a woman in a hook-up?

An Jing patted Han Wenxin on the shoulder and said, “Brother Han, you’re ageing too. It’s time for you to consider starting a family.”

“Me? I’m not in a hurry yet.”

Han Wenxin shook his head. Then, he thought of something and said, “Oh right, I heard that you married a lady from a prestigious family. Is that true?”

“Of course it’s true.” An Jing could not help but feel delighted when he said this.

Han Wenxin could not help but mutter, “That lady’s dowry is not ordinary!”

He had never seen how the woman looked like, so he was not sure for now. However, when a young lady from a noble family of the Yan family got married, the dowry was not cheap either.

This meant that his Brother An was going to be rich.

“Dowry?”

An Jing looked at Han Wenxin unhappily. “Brother Han, you’re really a commoner.”

What was a dowry?

Money was just a worldly possession, how could it be more precious than the first drop of blood?

Han Wenxin raised an eyebrow and chuckled. “You’re wrong, Brother An. I’m just a boor..”
