CHAPTER 4 PPOV
Earlier chapter
"So, you are saying that Mulan is betrothed to Shang."
Grandma nodded.
"That is why you wanted both of us to go to the Matchmaker. But why does Shang have to go to the Matchmaker if he is already betrothed?"
"It is just to keep every thing in line. The Matchmaker is going to make sure if Shang is the right choice for her or not."
"So, there is a chance that the marriage might be put off." She nodded grimly.
"You and Mulan are children of a great general. Mulan is the most talented and beautiful woman in the village. Men want her because of her reputation and face. We want her to be with someone who's reputation is just as great." Grandma explained. I nodded.
When she told me everything, everything made sense. I sighed.
"Is that all?"
"Ping, don't tell Mulan and Shang because we want this to be a secret."
"Grandmother Fa, do you want to know something?" She nodded. "Before Shang and I came back here. I was telling him about Mulan. He sounded very interested in Mulan. When he seen her, he looked like a blind man who never saw the moon before. At the table the both of them were staring at each other." She jumped up and started dancing in excitement.
"He is the one for her. Now, when you go outside. Sneak up on them and watch them. See if they do anything." I nodded and walked outside quietly.
There in the moonlight was Shang and Mulan working together. Mulan was laughing with Shang as they lifted a drum and put into the shed. He grabbed her hand and spun her around. There was a large boulder that they both didn't noticed. They both fell over. I moved around tree to see them laughing. Mulan have landed ontop of Shang. Shang got up and held out a hand to help Mulan. Mulan grabbed his hand. He pulled her up. There they stood, infront of each other. They stared at each other in the eye which seemed like hours for me. Slowly they moved toward each other. I took this as my time to interrupt. I walked to the entrance and cleared my throat loudly. They both jumped away from each other and continued working.
"So, what did Grandma want to talk about?" Mulan asked.
"Oh, she just wanted to talk to me about the matchmaker and all."
"Oh. So you and Shang are going to the matchmaker tomorrow, right?" I nodded.
"Yeah."
"I can't wait till you get a bride. I will tell her all of your tickle spot and embassaring moments." She started laughing.
"Just wait till you get a husband and I will do the same."
"Well, you are going to have to wait for awhile on that one." I shook my head.
"You never know. You'll probably be engaged by tomorrow."
"Ha. Funny brother."
"You won't to bet on it?"
"Yes. I get your dumpling if it doesn't happen tomorrow."
"I get to take your dumpling if it does sis."
"Deal?" She held out her hand. I grabbed her hand.
"Deal."
