Nongmen eldest sister: Farming and opening shops

Chapter 31

Granny Zhao entered Zhao's house with a happy face and found Mrs. Qian.

"Auntie, why are you here?" Seeing her, Qian had a smile on her face, poured a bowl of boiling water and added sugar as a treat.

The other party is very good at saying that when she opens her mouth, she often walks around the villages to help others, and she can't offend anyone if she offends, let alone coming to the door at this time...

"Of course there is a good thing, so I came here on purpose." Granny Zhao smiled.

When Qian heard the words, she became interested, put her head closer, and asked with a smile: "Oh, what a good thing, come and listen to it."

Seeing this, Granny Zhao felt a little proud. A pungent person like Qian would have to laugh with her when he saw her, and a tyrannical person like Butcher Wang would have to spend money to hire her.

"Didn't your Zhengping marriage get divorced? Then someone entrusted me to find out." Speaking of Zhao Zhengping, she was also very envious in her heart. Scholars, they are about to go to the exam for fame. As long as they pass, The mother and son were able to make it through.

When Qian heard the words, she became reserved. Her son is a scholar, and has always been respected in the village. Even her status in the village has been improved. Now almost no one dares to provoke her anymore. Naturally, she understands better. As the son became more and more promising, this marriage became even more popular.

She sat up straight, and asked indifferently, "Are you here to speak out for that family?"

She knew very well in her heart that Granny Zhao was at most helping the country people to talk about their marriage, and those who were particular about it were official matchmakers, so she didn't have any expectations for the marriage she mentioned.

"How do you look at Qiuhe from Butcher Wang's house?" Granny Zhao looked at her and continued, "You know this Wang's family too. In our village, apart from the village head's family, his family has the best life. Miss He Na is also very pampered at home, dowry is indispensable."

When Qian heard about Wang Qiuhe, she was not very happy. Wang Butcher's reputation in the village was not very good, and he was too arrogant and unreasonable. The most important thing was that she thought that Wang Qiuhe, who was average-looking and could not read a word, was suitable for her son. Can not match.

But the Wang family is indeed rich, and she probably knows that there are a lot of dowries.

A few years ago, Butcher Wang looked down on their family, but now that his son is promising, he is often praised by the teachers in the school, and he is about to go to the examination for merit, so it is naturally different from before.

"Butcher Wang said that if the two families can succeed, they will be married with 100 taels of silver." Granny Zhao raised a finger, her face full of envy, thinking to herself, why doesn't her family have such promising children and grandchildren?

Hearing 100 taels of silver, Qian's heart was not unmoved, but after thinking about it again, if his son got fame, 100 taels would be nothing, and his heart only moved for a moment, then he stabilized again.

"What are you talking about? It's as if our family is marrying a daughter-in-law for money."

"That's definitely not the case. This dowry is just a matter of icing on the cake." Granny Zhao followed her words and said, "The marriage still depends on character. The girl Qiu He was also watched from a young age, so it's not bad."

Mrs. Qian nodded. Wang Qiuhe was indeed fine. She lost her mother since she was a child, and there were only three big men in her family, her father and brother. She was a girl who could take care of the housework, which was not bad at all.

"I see you, you have worked so hard for most of your life. If you marry a daughter-in-law and come back earlier, and leave the housework in her hands, you can enjoy peace of mind." Speaking of this, Granny Zhao is also very envious. I've worked so hard, but I can see how other people live this day.

Qian Shi listened, and laughed lightly: "As a parent, it is impossible to really care about everything and enjoy the happiness. Raising children is a heart that can't be exhausted."

"That's right, look at me, when I'm old, I don't have a free time, and the whole family depends on me to save some money."

"What do you always talk about? As far as your family's life was not bad, how many people envy you."

"Hey, this is how I live. I only know my own affairs. If I can marry a capable daughter-in-law and have the support of my mother's family, even when life is difficult, I can live on."

"That's the truth." Qian nodded.

Seeing her nodding, Granny Zhao said while the iron was hot: "Then what do you think about this?"

Mrs. Qian shook her head: "It's not appropriate to remarry just now, and get married again immediately. Besides, Zhengping is going to take the exam soon. At this juncture, it's not good for him to be distracted by other things. Let's talk about it later."

There was a reason why she refused without saying a word. Butcher Wang was too arrogant, and the two sons in the family were not reasonable people. It is not good to go to the test for fame, because you are afraid of doing bad things at the critical moment.

Putting it off like this first, besides, she has reasons and evidence, and the Wang family can't say anything.

Regarding her son's marriage, she also thought a lot about it. If she passed the exam this time and won the honor of a scholar...

Thinking of this, her heart became hot. A young scholar has an unlimited future. What is the butcher Wang in the village? She still wants to find a girl from a scholarly family, no matter how wealthy a big merchant is. Ah, in the future, I will need a lot of money to support my scientific research or take care of something.

Unable to get an accurate answer, Granny Zhao felt a little reconciled, and asked again: "Then you mean to come to tell me after Zhengping's exam is over?"

What she meant was also straightforward. If she came to the door to talk about it when the time came, it would not be just talking, but the meaning of coming directly to the door to propose marriage.

Hearing this, Qian frowned and said: "I don't know what the situation will be at that time. If Zhengping wins, various entertainments may be indispensable. If the county magistrate sees that he is young and promising, and wants to propose a marriage for him, then he cannot refuse. Well, so on the Wang family side, I can't answer anything."

Granny Zhao opened her mouth wide when she heard that, Widow Qian really dared to think about it, the county magistrate personally acted as a matchmaker, so she could open her mouth and come to such a thing without being afraid of the wind flashing her tongue.

What kind of person is she? She often deals with people, so she can understand these subtexts best. After thinking about it in her heart, she finally figured out what Qian Shi really meant. This is because she feels that her son is promising, and she doesn't look down on Butcher Wang's family at all. But I dare not speak bluntly, for fear of offending others, huh.

Granny Zhao immediately became dissatisfied with Qian Shi, and Qian Shi didn't want to offend others, but her old lady ran around spreading rumors, but she didn't implement a word, and it was her old lady who should offend Butcher Wang.

"Since I shouldn't be with Wang's family, I'll go over and tell them, so as not to worry Butcher Wang and wait for the result." After speaking, he stood up and was about to leave.

Mrs. Qian was still carrying it at first, but when she saw that she was wrong, she got up and left. How could it happen? Butcher Wang would help to fool her.

"Grandma Zhao, I have something to say, but the Wang family has to ask you to play around a bit more." As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his bosom and stuffed it into Granny Zhao's hand.

Holding the cold and hard-tied money in her hand, Granny Zhao suddenly had a smile on her face, this trip is not in vain, the most important thing is getting the money.

"Okay, then I'll tell the Wang family that I won't be able to talk about it until after Zhengping's exam is over."

"Then I'll have to thank Granny Zhao." Qian folded her hands and greeted her with a salute.
