Shopkeeper Zheng arrived in front and saw the guests, then remembered something important. He turned to Manbao and said, "Oh, Imperial Doctor Zhou, I was just about to tell you this. Zheng Gu has taken a liking to a girl in Luozhou, and after the New Year, I'll send someone to propose. What do you think of this?"
Manbao was dazed, "What can I think?"
Then she exclaimed, "Ah, Zheng Gu is getting married? Yes, he should marry. He's already of age, and if he doesn't marry soon, it'll be even more difficult."
Shopkeeper Zheng nodded in agreement. However, those from families in the medical field often married late, with many marrying at twenty-four or twenty-five, so his son wasn't particularly late after all, it seemed just right.
Shopkeeper Zheng comforted himself inwardly.
Manbao then remembered Zheng Shao, "Zheng Shao isn't young anymore either. Why is there no news?"
Shopkeeper Zheng replied, "His parents are clueless, so perhaps they haven't made arrangements for him."
