The matchmaking system in the Song Dynasty was quite complete. Matchmaking was divided into different types: official matchmaking, private matchmaking, free matchmaking, and divine matchmaking.
The official media are divided into different levels. The middle ones wear high hats, buns with yellow silk scarves, jackets or skirts, and hold a small cool umbrella in their hands.
Wang Furong is now one of them, known as "Wang Po".
But she is only nineteen years old now and is already a widow.
There are three sisters in Wang Furong's family. Because her mother loves to take care of flowers and plants, she named them after flowers.
She had just passed the age of hair, and the matchmaker who came to propose marriage almost broke through the door of her house.
Even Li Fengnian, a young talent from the neighboring village, asked a matchmaker to come to his door. He was the envy of girls from all over the country.
Marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmaker's words.
After their parents nodded in agreement, the two got married quickly.
However, on the second day of their wedding, the superiors sent people to the countryside to recruit troops, and Li Fengnian followed the mighty army and left.
This journey lasted for three years.
In the past three years, Wang Furong has been very capable, serving her grandmother, taking care of her family, and keeping everything in order.
When she had nothing to do, she helped her second and third sisters at home find husbands and husbands, and she actually said they had several good marriages.
Gradually, the reputation of "Wang Po" spread.
Three years later, those who joined the army returned to their hometowns one after another, but Li Fengnian was nowhere to be seen. Everyone said that those who did not come back died in battle.
After Wang Furong cried bitterly with her grandmother, they comforted each other that they should live a good life.
Soon, she became an official matchmaker and began to receive a salary from the government.
On this day, the government assigned her a job as a matchmaker for the newly arrived county magistrate. Wang Furong agreed without saying a word and took the girl to visit the magistrate's house.
But this new county magistrate... Is actually her husband who "died on the battlefield"?
So, she is going to be a matchmaker for her husband now?
