After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil
Chapter 41 Matchmaker Wang's Mouth
Matchmaker Wang was holding the marriage book and flipping through it page by page. When she turned to a page, her eyes flashed and she paused.
"This young man is the youngest son of the wealthy Wang family in our town. His name is Wang Lantian. He is eighteen years old. His two older brothers are already married. His family owns several hundred acres of good farmland. This boy has a good personality. What do you think of him, my lady?"
Mother Lin stretched her head to look at the portrait in the book. The appearance was not outstanding. She felt a little resistant: "The family is not bad, but there are too many brothers. My daughter is stupid. I am afraid she can't handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Is there a family with a simpler environment?"
Matchmaker Wang wanted to persuade him again: "The rich man Wang and his wife are both kind people. People always say that the youngest son is the eldest grandson. This kid is very favored. Are you afraid that your precious child will be wronged? Not to mention Wang Lantian..."
At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing to persuade: "Mrs. Xiucai, why don't you reconsider it?"
Mother Lin looked at her strangely and wondered why this matchmaker Wang was so enthusiastic?
"Forget it, I think I'll just have to wait and see."
Matchmaker Wang felt regretful in her heart, it seemed that the fifty taels of silver would be wasted.
The youngest son of the wealthy Wang family, after seeing the eldest daughter of the Lin family who was buying paper and pens in the town, became obsessed with wanting to marry her. However, the eldest daughter of the Lin family had a fiancé, He Zhiyuan, who had been engaged to her since childhood. Later, the marriage broke up for some unknown reason, and some bad rumors spread. No matter how their son made a fuss, the wealthy Wang and his wife firmly opposed it.
Unexpectedly, later on, Lieutenant Li from the county government spread the word around the county, proving Miss Lin's innocence.
The young man from the Wang family started to go on a hunger strike, insisting on discussing marriage with the eldest daughter of the Lin family. The wealthy Wang and his wife then found her, gave her ten taels of silver and asked her to find an opportunity to go to the Lin family to propose marriage. After the matter was done, they would give her another fifty taels of silver as a reward.
She was just looking for an opportunity to visit him, but he just came to her house on his own initiative.
Matchmaker Wang lovingly turned over her fifty taels and came to a new page, introducing: "This is the son of the owner of Baixiang Tower. He is seventeen years old, handsome, and an only child. He has no mother-in-law. Your girl can be the head of the family when she marries him..."
"Wait a minute, what do you mean by no legitimate mother-in-law?" Lin's mother got the point.
"Well... Manager Liu's first wife passed away two years ago, so..."
"So, this Manager Liu has a concubine, right?" Lin's mother asked directly.
"Ahem... Yes, he has two concubines, but his son doesn't. This kid..."
"Come on, let's see the next one."
Mother Lin frowned, looking a little annoyed. What kind of stuff was this? She felt particularly disgusted because she had a good relationship with her husband and had never experienced such things before.
Matchmaker Wang felt heartbroken. If Manager Liu continued to raise the thirty taels, he could only make twenty taels from Boss Huang.
"Stop! Let me see this."
Before Matchmaker Wang turned to the page about Boss Huang's son, Lin's mother urgently stopped her and took the book from her hands.
"Who is this kid?"
"Oh, my lady, although Zhuang Xingbai looks handsome, his family is very poor. His parents died a long time ago, and he was raised by his grandparents. You'd better not look at him. Your beautiful daughter will suffer if she marries him."
Although Lin's mother didn't know many words, she knew some common words. She asked her, "Are you a scholar? What's your personality like?"
"Yes, I heard that he passed the Tongsheng exam this year. He is very filial to his grandparents and has a good personality. He greets everyone he sees."
Matchmaker Wang sighed, "What a poor man! If his parents were still alive, he might have passed the imperial examination and become a scholar."
"I think he's a good guy. Please go to his house and check for him today. Then come and give me a message tomorrow."
Mother Lin took out two taels of silver from her bosom and placed them on the table: "Thank you for your hard work, Madam Wang."
Matchmaker Wang was a little confused. She took the two taels of silver with a sour look on her face. She was reluctant but didn't want to ruin her reputation, so she said, "Okay, I'll help the scholar's wife make this trip."
I cursed in my heart: What a poor slave! I don't know what kind of shit luck I have.
Lin's mother didn't know what Wang the matchmaker was thinking, but she had her own considerations.
Zhuang Xingbai's grandparents are old and frail, so the work in the fields must be his. He was able to pass the examination for status as a student under such difficult circumstances, which shows that he is smart and willing to endure hardships. What's more, he is filial and polite.
As a scholar, I will have something in common with my husband and daughter. I will just wait for Wang the matchmaker to reply tomorrow, and then the man will come to visit to see the real situation.
Having made preliminary considerations for her daughter's affairs, Lin's mother was so excited that she lay on the bed, but she was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep.
Unable to bear it any longer, she pushed her sleeping husband: "Zhi Ge, wake up, wake up!"
Lin Xiucai opened his sleepy eyes, looked at his wife's burning gaze, and asked in confusion: "Mei'er, what's wrong?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, Zhizhi's marriage will be settled."
"What?!" Lin Xiucai suddenly woke up, "Why don't I know? When did it happen?"
"I just woke up and went to town to look for matchmaker Wang. Now I have a suitable candidate."
"Which family are you from? Tell me in detail."
Mother Lin briefly explained Zhuang Xingbai's situation and asked her husband, "What do you think? You won't blame me for making the decision without consulting you, will you?"
"How could that be? Mei'er, thank you for your hard work. If we don't hurry up and take action in Mom's situation..."
Mr. Lin sighed.
"I know this Zhuang Xingbai. He is a bit poor, but he is a nice person. Let's wait for a reply from the other side before taking a look. Even if time is tight, we can't let Zhizhi down. There is no harm in taking a closer look."
Mother Lin lay in her husband's arms and nodded in agreement. Suddenly she became a little depressed and said, "I asked someone to send a message to Qingshan County."
Mr. Lin looked at her in surprise and let out a long sigh.
"Are you going to bring Xia Xia back?"
"Well, no matter what she is, she is still a piece of flesh and blood that fell from my mother's body. She can be ruthless and ungrateful to us, but I can't be ruthless and ungrateful to her."
Tears fell from Lin's mother's eyes. "Mom is in trouble now. She will have to spend three years in mourning. Her face is like that. Although it is her own fault, if we don't find her a safe marriage now, she will have no way to survive when you and I die."
Lin Xiucai wiped his wife's tears and comforted her: "Don't be sad, Mei'er, we will do as you said, bring Xia Xia back, find her an honest and reliable husband who can take care of her for the rest of her life, or at least give her a little more dowry and send her off safely."
Looking at the dark circles under his wife's eyes, he urged her distressedly: "Zhizhi, we don't need to worry about her anymore. Let's not talk about this for now. Take a rest first. You still have to take care of mom later. You can't be without energy. Go to sleep."
Mother Lin fell asleep under the comfort of her husband.
On the contrary, the atmosphere on Li Yanqi's side was not so warm and peaceful.
