It's almost time to wear it. The soft beauty relies on the child-bearing system to favor her

Matchmaker Li said:

"Li Xiucai from Lijiazhuang is a handsome man with elegant manners. He is also talented in writing, smart and studious. He passed the imperial examination before he was 20 years old. Now he works hard all day to study and prepare for next year's provincial examination. If he passes, your daughter can enjoy the happiness!"

"Besides, Li Xiucai's family has fields, houses and land. They are rich, they eat fine rice and flour, and wear soft fine cotton cloth. What a wonderful life they live! Li Xiucai's parents are both kind and generous old people. They are well-known and praised by everyone in Lijia Village. Girl, just marry into their family and enjoy a good life!"

My aunt quickly agreed.

Zhang Hehua listened to what Matchmaker Li said, and a smile appeared on her face, which was haggard due to illness.

but……

She frowned slightly, took a breath, and said:

"If it's really as Sister Li said, then the Li family is really a rare and good match. It's just that... it's just that the Lijia Village is quite far away from our Shanyan Village. If Ah Wan marries there, I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other often in the future..."

Matchmaker Li and the aunt looked at each other, and the aunt pouted at her.

Matchmaker Li said hurriedly, "Sister, Lijia Village is a little far away, but in our area, it's not easy to find a man as outstanding as Li Xiucai and a family as good as the Li family."

"I saw that your family had just lost its head, and the orphans and widows were very pitiful. In addition, your eldest sister-in-law begged me in every possible way, so I picked out Li Xiucai, the best one among hundreds of families."

Then, her eyes darkened and she lowered her voice and said, "Now your daughter still has a choice. If you observe the three years of mourning, when she is almost twenty, will she still be able to find a man as good as Mr. Li?"

"Sister, you have to consider the future of your children. The most important thing for a daughter is to marry the right man. Now that Li Xiucai is such a good man, you must not miss it and delay your daughter's lifelong event!"

My aunt was also there, constantly persuading me.

Zhang Hehua was a little shaken. She hesitated for a few seconds and said:

"Well, thank you for your concern, sister-in-law Li. Please wait for two more days. I am not feeling well and cannot go to Lijiazhuang. I will send a message to my parents and ask them to help me go to Lijiazhuang."

Hearing this, Matchmaker Li pretended to be angry.

"Oh, sister, you don't trust me? I, Li Honghua, have been a matchmaker for more than ten years. I have a very good reputation outside. I always tell the truth and never cheat. If I, Li Honghua, tell even a single lie, may God kill me!"

"Sister, since you don't trust me, I won't force you. Li Xiucai is a good young man, and many families with daughters are thinking about him. Even the head of Shanshui Village asked me about him!"

"You know Shanshui Village, right below your Shanyan Village. The head of the village has a daughter who is only fifteen years old. She is as pretty as a flower and can weave and spin. The head of the village even bought her more than a dozen boxes of dowry! Aren't her conditions better than your daughter's?"

"Then why did I marry Li Xiucai to your family first? Isn't it because I am soft-hearted and kind-hearted, and I can't bear to see you suffer, so I want to help you?"

"Who would have thought that you still don't trust me, and you take my kindness for granted, and you even send people to inquire about Mr. Li? Mr. Li is a scholar, will he be happy if you go to the village to inquire about him? If he doesn't like your girl, you will just cry!"

The eldest aunt hurriedly stood up and pretended to persuade her, "Hey, Sister Li, don't be angry, my sister-in-law is also sick and confused, I am trying to persuade her."

Matchmaker Li swung her handkerchief and said, "I am here to matchmake for your sake. Since they don't trust me, I won't bother myself anymore. Forget it, whoever wants to matchmake for her daughter can do it. I won't do it anymore!"

She stood up and leaned forward, as if she was about to lift her legs to walk, but in fact her feet were very steady and she had no intention of moving at all.

The eldest aunt looked anxious, and with a smile she stopped Matchmaker Li, and turned back to Zhang Hehua and advised:

"Sister-in-law, didn't we agree yesterday to find a good family for Ah Wan? This good family is right in front of you, don't miss it."

Matchmaker Li and the aunt were pushing and shoving each other, one pretending to leave and the other pretending to keep her, and the show was very lively.

After being teased by the two, Zhang Hehua's sallow face looked even uglier and her temples were throbbing.

But she still didn't give in.

Even if she had no idea or was easily influenced, she knew that a woman's marriage determined her fate.

She didn't dare and couldn't just agree to the matchmaker and marry her daughter off.

Seeing that Zhang Hehua just lowered her eyes weakly, hunched her back, and sat on the chair, she refused to let go.

The aunt and Matchmaker Li were arguing even more loudly. Matchmaker Li finally moved her legs and walked to the door. The aunt pulled her sleeve, trying to persuade her not to leave, while turning back to persuade Zhang Hehua to agree quickly.

Su Wanti hid behind the door and listened for a while before walking in with the teapot.

"Aunt Li, are you leaving? Don't be in such a hurry to leave. To be honest, I just overheard something at the door. From what Aunt Li said, Mr. Li's family is really a decent and good family. My mother is sick, so maybe she didn't hear it clearly, so I can't agree. Please sit down and drink some tea, take a breath, and then tell us about Mr. Li in detail."

She had a gentle and soft smile on her face, eyes like stars, skin like snow, a soft and pleasant voice, and a graceful figure. She was as beautiful as a fairy in a picture book.

The daughters of farmers are raised on a hungry and full diet, how can they raise girls with such beautiful looks and complexion?

Matchmaker Li was dazzled by Su Wanti's peerless beauty, how could she bear to leave?

The other person handed her a ladder and she climbed down it nimbly.

Matchmaker Li smiled widely and sat back on her chair. "Oh, young lady, you have your own ideas. I will explain it to you in more detail."

Matchmaker Li knew that Su Wanti was studying medicine with a female doctor in the county town. However, she felt that she was a young woman after all and did not have much social experience, so she would be easy to fool.

If the other party insisted on meeting Mr. Li, she would have no choice.

She kept two handsome young men under her command. These two men were very sweet-talkers and knew how to make women happy. They often helped her seduce young girls and wives to elope.

At that time, wouldn't it be nice to let the most handsome man among them come over and pretend to be Li Xiucai and meet Miss Wan and her mother?

People often say that men are lustful, but in fact women are also lustful, they just can't say it openly.

Matchmaker Li believed that as long as Miss Wan saw the handsome man once, she would be bewitched by him and fall in love with him.

She nodded her approval to the marriage, the engagement letter was signed, the wedding was held, and the sedan chair was lifted up. What happened afterwards was no longer up to them, an orphan and a widow, to decide.

Matchmaker Li stared at Su Wanti with a pair of eyes shining brightly. There was no appreciation in her eyes, only greed, just like a hungry beggar seeing a piece of high-quality meat.

She reached out to hold Su Wanti's hand and said, "Good girl, let me tell you, Li Xiucai is really a rare good man!"

Su Wanti lowered her eyebrows and smiled softly. She pushed her hand away half shyly and half panickedly, poured two bowls of tea and placed them in front of Matchmaker Li and the aunt.

"Aunt Li, auntie, you've been talking to my mother for a long time, and your mouths must be dry. Drink some tea first to quench your thirst, and then continue."

At this moment, she was so sensible and considerate that it made people's hearts melt. Every word she said was so gentle that it made people's body numb.

Ever since Su Wanti came in, the smile on Matchmaker Li's face has never faded.

The girl is good-looking, has a good figure, a pleasant voice, and is a considerate and gentle person.

She would have to keep this rare good stuff for a few days and then sell it to a big buyer in Luzhou.

She will definitely make a fortune this time!

The eldest aunt glanced at Matchmaker Li, and seeing that Matchmaker Li was becoming more and more satisfied with Su Wanti, she finally let her mind go.

Matchmaker Li promised her that she would reward her family with one hundred taels of silver after the matter was completed.

Now when the aunt looked at Su Wanti, it was like looking at a hundred taels of silver floating before her eyes.

She wished she could tie him up immediately and stuff him into the bridal sedan and send him away, so that the illusion of the one hundred taels of silver before her could become a heavy, bright reality.

The aunt breathed a sigh of relief, sat down, picked up the teacup and took a big sip.

At the same time, she was calculating in her mind that her brother-in-law's family had six children in total, and by selling or giving away some, she could earn at least two hundred taels of silver.

It would be great if my brother's sister-in-law was in good health. I could find a widower and then pay a betrothal gift to remarry her.

Unfortunately, this sister-in-law is too weak and her health is not strong. When she heard the news of her brother-in-law's disappearance, she fell ill. It has been such a long time and she is still not getting better. Judging from her weak appearance, I am afraid she will not get better.

As my aunt drank her tea, her eyes moved around, looking at the beams and the furniture.

He glanced at Su Wanti, and then glanced at the kids playing in front of the house.

Thinking about how much money these children can be exchanged for, and that the house, yard, and fields will soon belong to their family, I feel very happy.

Matchmaker Li, who was sitting at the other end of the table, was also very happy.

She had been talking for a long time and her mouth was already dry. Seeing that the tea Su Wanti poured was neither cold nor hot, but just the right temperature, she didn't think much about it and gulped down a bowl of it.

After drinking it, I smacked my lips and realized that something was wrong with the taste of the tea. It didn't taste like tea leaves, but it tasted like rice porridge. And it was a bit sticky when I drank it...

"Aunt Li, can you tell me what Mr. Li looks like?" Su Wanti blinked her eyes and chuckled.

Hearing this, Matchmaker Li immediately forgot about the tea that tasted wrong and began to talk vividly.

"Ha! You asked me what Li Xiucai looks like? He looks like a fat pig, with a fat head, big ears, sparse hair, eyes smaller than green beans, a nose bigger than garlic, and a big belly. He looks older than my sixty-year-old father!"

"Hey!" Matchmaker Li suddenly covered her mouth.

I was surprised, wondering how could I have told the truth!
