A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

My mother's millet porridge was fed with warm wine, but my father only drank half of his millet porridge. He felt that he was useless and should have left long ago and should not stay in this world to waste food.

Looking at the half bowl of millet porridge in his mother's hand, Wen Meijiu felt sad and amused. How could the family go hungry with her around?

"Mom, there's still a lot of millet left. I scooped out a bowl and put it in the rice jar. It's enough for you to eat for two meals."

Without saying anything else, Wen Meijiu pushed his mother's hand holding the bowl inward and said:

"I am leaving."

After saying that, she lifted the door curtain, rushed out of the house, and went straight to Mr. Wang's house in the neighboring village.

**

If we put it in today's context, Mr. Wang is an unscrupulous loan shark. It has only been half a year, and not only did he double the money he borrowed from the Wen family, he even dared to arrest people. It is simply lawless.

On the way there, she found a secluded place and Wen Meijiu entered her own space. She first put a small pistol loaded with bullets on her body, and then hid a dagger that could cut through iron like mud on her waist.

Mr. Wang has a lot of people and power. If she can't defeat him by wits, she can only use modern weapons. She won't do anything to suffer a loss.

When she arrived at the neighboring village, Wen Meijiu did not dare to act rashly for fear of alerting the enemy. She first pretended to be passing by and walked around the periphery of Wang Yuanwai's house a few times.

Mr. Wang was indeed a wealthy man in the area. Not only did he build a big house, he also hired a lot of thugs. The guards inside and outside the house were strict, and there were special people to check and search people entering and leaving.

If anyone wants to enter the Wang family or do anything bad to the Wang family, they will be discovered soon.

It's a bit unrealistic to break in by force, I have to find a way to sneak in.

After waiting for a long time not far from Wang's house, I finally saw a man who looked like a housekeeper escorting a middle-aged woman with a sleek bun out.

The two people stood at the door and whispered for a long time. Finally, the middle-aged woman turned around and walked out with a sad face. The housekeeper then entered the Wang family's gate.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when no one was looking, Wen Meijiu walked out from the corner and followed the woman forward.

After walking for a while, the middle-aged woman noticed someone behind her, turned around suddenly, and was startled.

"Why do you always follow me, girl?"

Wen Meijiu came forward with a smile and said:

"Auntie, you take this road, and I take this road too, so why do you say I follow you instead of you following me?"

The middle-aged woman threw her handkerchief at her and said unhappily:

"How can you talk like that, woman? I'm in front and you're behind. How can I follow you?"

Wen Meijiu took two steps forward and walked in front of the woman, then turned around and smiled at her, saying:

"Auntie, look now, aren't you behind me?"

The old lady was startled at first, then she said with a smile:

"You, girl, are you looking for a husband but are too embarrassed to tell me, so you're following me like this?"

When Wen Meijiu heard this, he immediately understood that the woman in front of him was a matchmaker.

After knowing the other party's background, Wen Meijiu lowered her head deliberately, pretending to be shy, and smiled foolishly at the matchmaker.

The matchmaker thought she was embarrassed and said:

"Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. Whose family are you from, and which husband have you chosen?"

Wen Meijiu's expression immediately changed when he saw the matchmaker. He looked as if he was worried and sighed at the matchmaker in front of him:

"My family lives in the village ahead. We are very poor. I know that even if someone like me falls in love with a handsome man from a wealthy family, he will never agree to marry me.

I know that you are famous for your eloquence in the surrounding area. You can say that the dead are alive, the ugly are beautiful, and the bad are good.

So, I just want to get close to you. If you can convince a rich young man to marry me, wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

The matchmaker had a sad face just now, but when she heard Wen Meijiu praising her like that, she suddenly became extremely happy.

She walked around the warm wine several times, looking her up and down, and could tell her family situation from her appearance and clothes.

“Oh, I didn’t realize that the girl is quite ambitious.

Although your little mouth is smeared with honey, marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words, and it is not up to me to decide.

The most I can do is to speak well of you to the man's family. As for whether it will work out, it all depends on the opinions of both parents."

The matchmaker's words were very pertinent. The drunkard's intention was not to drink, so he deliberately twisted his words and said:

"Auntie, I guess you don't want to spend more time on me, right?

I heard that you are very popular now. Even Mr. Wang is asking you to do something for him.

My family is poor, and I know that, so I can lower my expectations of men. "

When the matchmaker heard that Wen Meijiu was trying to get Wang Yuanwai, she immediately said:

"Hey, that's what happened, but it's not what you heard.

Mr. Wang is begging me to do something for him, but his job is not easy to handle, and I can't just leave it alone. I can't afford to offend him!

Although you look good, marriage is all about matching up, and Mr. Wang has a big family and a lot of wealth, so maybe you can be his concubine..."

Having said this, the matchmaker glanced at the warm wine, but fearing that she might hurt her, she changed the subject and said:

"Mr. Wang likes quiet and well-educated women. He fell in love with Miss Liu from Wangjiagou, but unfortunately she didn't like him.

He asked me to go there several times, but they refused to see him. I couldn't afford to offend both sides and was stuck in the middle."

"Oh, demure, I can!

I know these words too!"

Think of her Wen Meijiu, who was a famous top student in the 23rd century. Although she could not be proficient in everything, she was more than capable of dealing with the uneducated Mr. Wang.

"No, no, Mr. Wang is not someone you can easily mess with. The person he has chosen cannot be changed. If he does, I will lose my head."

The matchmaker became more and more melancholy as she spoke, and she sighed for a while, completely forgetting that she had just met Wen Meijiu.

This shows that this is really a tricky thing for her.

"It's not as serious as you say. It's too exaggerated. She is a young lady after all. Her family background should not be worse than Mr. Wang's, right?

Why should someone marry him just because he says he wants to?

Is there no law in this world?"

The matchmaker sighed and said:

"The king's law? Who here is bigger than our county magistrate?

Mr. Wang’s nephew is our county magistrate, who has just taken office. Otherwise, how could he speak with such confidence? "

She wondered why Mr. Wang was so arrogant and domineering, daring to openly oppress the people. It turned out that this was the crux of the problem.

"Oh! Auntie, you are in big trouble!

My happiness for the rest of my life depends on you. If anything goes wrong with you because of this, what will I do?"

Wen Meijiu was startled and frightened, which made the matchmaker a little nervous, but she felt from the bottom of her heart that Wen Meijiu was an honest girl.

"Hey, there are so many matchmakers in the world, you can find anyone!

I am different. I have been stuck with this and I can’t get rid of it.”

The matchmaker sighed again.
