"Talking to him is useless." Ms. Wang waved her hand dismissively upon hearing that, "Let me tell you, every time I come back and ask Qingrui about his preferences, he always finds fault in this or that. He hasn't even met the girls, how can he just decide they're not good enough?"
"So, I came up with an idea. Why don't we invite the girls over so your eldest brother can take a covert look? Maybe then he'll find someone he likes. What do you think?"
"Inviting people over isn't a bad idea, but we need a good pretext. Otherwise, if you invite them over so openly, and everyone knows you're trying to find a match for Qingrui, the girls might decline the invitation to avoid any impropriety."
Talking about matchmaking in ancient times sure is troublesome, unlike nowadays, where you can simply sit down in a coffee shop, the man and woman meet, and it's immediately clear whether it's a 'no-go' or if the relationship should continue—obvious at first sight.
