Nongmen Jia Niang: The little blessed wife of the general's family

Chapter 73 Yin Lan's Choice

Yin Taoniang smiled bitterly, how could she not understand the dissatisfaction in Xia's matchmaker's words; but she couldn't, so she could only keep complimenting Xia's matchmaker and sending her out of the door, and stuffed her with thirty copper coins.

Although the matchmaker looked down on the money, she still accepted it.

But when Yin Taoniang saw that she had received the money, she felt more at ease.

When Yin Taoniang returned to the house worried, Yin Lan came out and took her mother's hand and said, "Mother, let's ask someone to inquire about it. Since that person is studying in the county school and has a shop and property, it should be easy to inquire about it. Besides this Bao Xiucai has never been married, so is she really good as she said?"

Yin Taoniang also calmed down a bit at this time, thinking about it for a while, something was wrong.

Yin Lan said again: "Mother, if a woman doesn't marry well, she will suffer for the rest of her life. If she wants to marry me in a confused way, it's better for me to guard her and serve her for the rest of my life!"

"What nonsense? If you don't get married, what will you do when you get old?" Glancing at her daughter, Yin Taoniang sat down on the bench, frowning: "Who do you want to ask the county to investigate?"

"I'll go in person!" Yin Lan suggested.

"No, how can you go? You have a different temperament from your second sister, and you have never been out! Besides, how could a girl go to inquire about a man?" Yin Taoniang exclaimed, very opposed to Yin Lan's proposal.

"I'll go!" Mrs. Zhang came in from the door and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, Yin Lan, let me go, Zhuangtou is going to the county town for errands these two days, I beg you to take me with you."

In the evening of the third day, Mrs. Zhang came back and told what she had inquired about.

"When I arrived, I first looked for the old man who sold noodles that Yin Tao said. The old man knew that I was from the Yin family and was very enthusiastic. However, they were not familiar with the Bao family. Coincidentally, the grandmother's aunt and niece were there. As a helper at the county school, he took me to ask.”

Yin Taoniang was very anxious and asked repeatedly, "How is it? How about Bao Xiu Cai?"

Mrs Zhang said, "Sister, don't worry, I have heard, listen to me!"

"Bao's family does have a house in the county seat, a shop selling embroidery products. His mother has always been in charge of it, and the business can only be maintained. However, the old man's health is getting worse day by day, and their family's business is getting more and more difficult. People prefer to go to Fuxiang Embroidery Building, embroidery of Lady Peony appears here from time to time, and the embroidery of Lady Peony’s apprentices are also put on consignment here, so even if they are expensive, they will not worry about selling them.”

"Miss Peony?"

Yin Lan, who had been sitting beside her mother with her head lowered, raised her head and asked softly, she remembered that the second sister had told her in private that Aunt Fang seemed to be called Lady Peony. Aunt Fang's name came later, and my mother didn't know it.

"Yeah, this lady is amazing. How many people want to ask for her embroidery, and when her embroidery comes out, it will be robbed at a high price. How many big families want a pair of her embroidery, but she rarely sells it. , but it will be a masterpiece when it comes out.”

Yin Taoniang didn't care about Madam Peony, but she was worried about Yin Lan's marriage. When Liu Shi finished speaking, she quickly asked: "Then this bag of talented people is not bad! It seems that their family really likes it. I learned Lan'er's embroidery skills."

Mrs. Zhang quickly shook her hand: "I can't marry, I can't marry, this old lady of the Bao family is notoriously stingy, and she is not good at being stingy with her son, but also with herself. The better people in the city are not willing to marry their daughter. And Bao Xiucai is still very picky, looking for someone who can write and read, what can you say to add fragrance? If this is the case, I heard that although Bao Xiucai is not married, there are two or three girls in the house who have children. "

Yin Taoniang was stunned, her face pale.

Yin Lan stretched out her hand to appease her mother, but her heart could not calm down, not because of Bao Xiucai, but because of Lady Peony, there seemed to be a ray of light in her bland and even gloomy life.

After thinking about it for a long time, she finally went to her mother's house and talked with her for a long time. The cry of Yin Taoniang came from the house.

The next day, she resolutely bid farewell to her mother and headed towards the county seat.
