ing Yuan's introduction seemed more like he was trying to matchmake Yan Qing and Yunli
You mean during the promotional "interview" thingy? Yes, he did strike me as an Asian parent trying to matchmake.
With respect to JY and YQ's relationship, it's pretty much a clear master-disciple thing, but there's that saying 一日为师，终生为父, so foster parent isn't too far off.
However, in the game when YQ brought the party along and met up with the generals, JY specifically mentioned that he keeps YQ close by to get on-the-job experience and that YQ is going to be tasked with upholding the title of 剑首 for Luofu's Cloud Knights. In addition to YQ's position as 骁卫, I feel like the story is "telling" the audience YQ is actually quite high ranked, if young. The youth thing seems to be intended as a superficial flaw, given YQ's personal story describes many achievements despite his young age. But what the story shows us suggests otherwise.
After the argument with Yunli, JY comes in to smooth over the kerfluffle, which Huaiyan returns in kind. So basically I wouldn't really consider that a "match-making" thing so much as playing the politics and maintaining civility.
