Cannon Fodder Strategy

Striving for a Right Man (5)

I originally thought that my eldest daughter was good-looking and a good embroiderer. Although her temperament was a little weird and she was cold and indifferent to others, at least she was not rude or rude. When it came to getting married, it shouldn't be difficult at first. This was indeed the case. Mrs. Liu hired a matchmaker named Huang, who came to her happily two days later and told her that the family was said to be the He family in the north of the city. The family opened a medicine shop called Ji Shi Tang, and their ancestors were all doctors. The family background is also considered well-to-do.

The He family has a simple population. They only have an only son, who is now seventeen. He has been learning medical skills from his father. Although he has no formal consultation, he can recite medical books and classify herbal medicines fluently. He is a very promising young man.

The matchmaker surnamed Huang was wearing a cheerful peach-colored dress. On a hot day, the sweat from her back vest made the gauze cling tightly to her back.

"Speaking of which, I have seen the young lady of the He family. She is pretty and pretty. The He family is well-off and has such an only son. She is a perfect match for your girl. The harmony between husband and wife is not a blessing from God. Married?" The matchmaker surnamed Huang was about thirty years old. He was holding a silk handkerchief in his hand and smacked his mouth: "I have been running for two days, but my legs have become thin. The weather is so hot that I can't even drink tea. Didn’t even take a sip.”

Mrs. Liu began to listen to the husband of the He family who was still smiling with squinted eyes. Apparently she had heard of He's Jishi Hall and was satisfied with the marriage the matchmaker was looking for. When she heard the matchmaker's reminder, she hurriedly She wanted to scold her daughter for bringing some tea, but before she could say anything, Lily poured the water into the matchmaker's hands. The woman laughed and said, "Oh, Mrs. Duan is really a mark." If someone else was looked at like this, Being praised like this again. She was shy and blushed, but Lily listened calmly. The matchmaker looked at her more and more carefully. Mrs. Liu heard others praise her daughter. A rare smile appeared on his face. After thinking about it for a while, he painfully took out ten cents from his wallet and stuffed it into the matchmaker's hand:

"Then please be more careful. Use these copper coins to make drinks."

The matchmaker was still grinning when he saw Mr. Liu take out the money. Once he took the money into his hand, the smile seemed a little forced.

She rubbed the money in her hands, and after she knew it by heart, she secretly scolded Mr. Liu for being stingy, but most of the people in this industry were like human beings, and she was scolding Mr. Liu like crazy. But there was still a smile on his face, and he put down the cup that was full of wine: "The He family's wife said she would come to buy some fabrics tomorrow. It's hot now, so it's time to change into some light silk to make clothes."

It means that people from the He family will come to see Lily tomorrow. After hearing this news, Ms. Liu chatted with the matchmaker Huang for a while before the matchmaker waved a handkerchief and walked away.

Wait until she leaves. Mrs. Liu suppressed the smile on her face, glared at Lily, and said fiercely:

"You have heard it yourself. The wife of the He family is coming to see you tomorrow. If something goes wrong tomorrow, I will expose you!" She threatened a few words, but Lily was silent and felt sad in her heart. After lighting a fire, I went to work on other things.

In the middle of the plot, Lily didn't even remember who she had her first blind date with. There were too many blind dates. Every time it fails for one reason or another. The He family sounds good. Lily has been practicing physical skills for two years. If she marries into the He family, there is a way to make this young man untouchable. After the marriage, she will provide money to inherit the incense of the He family. As long as they don't have someone else's queen, the He family will probably not say anything even if they are dissatisfied. What's more, a simple population means there are not so many complicated and troublesome things. Mr. Liu's temper has become more and more erratic recently. It would be great if she could get married earlier. Without her, Duan Guilan would not be lucky enough to marry Shen Tengwen again in the future.

The next morning, Mrs. Liu got up early. She knew that today was a matter of life for her eldest daughter, and she also knew that Duan Guilan had a troublesome physique. She told Duan Guilan not to run around when eating in the morning. At first, Duan Guilan promised, But while Liu was opening the shop, Duan Guilan disappeared without a trace in less than two quarters of an hour.

When Mrs. Liu came to her senses and saw that her little daughter was missing, she turned around and asked. People in the shop said they didn't know when Duan Guilan disappeared.

A fire surged up in Ms. Liu's heart, she pointed at Lily and said sharply:

"I told you to take good care of your sister. Why did she disappear again in the blink of an eye?"

"Guilan is already 13, not a three-year-old child. Besides, my mother told her not to run around, and she promised well. Who can blame her for running away now? What's more? My legs are on her, how can I hold her back if she wants to run away?" When Duan Guilan ran away, Lily was being ordered around by Mrs. Liu. He ordered her to go into the house to boil water, and then ordered her to clean. She was very busy at this time. When Mrs. Liu came to get angry at her, it was simply inexplicable.

Hearing that Lily still dared to talk back, although she didn't shout at her unconvincedly like Duan Guilan, at this juncture, Mrs. Liu was still so angry that her heart was burning. She was about to step forward to pinch Lily's flesh, but as soon as she moved, the other end The matchmaker surnamed Huang accompanied a woman in her forties wearing a lake green Confucian skirt into the store.

At this glance, he knew that someone from the He family was here. In front of outsiders, even though Mrs. Liu was getting angry with anxiety, she managed to squeeze out a smile and greeted the wife of the He family.

The wife of the He family has a gentle temper and looks like she is not a mean person who is difficult to get along with. She asked Lily several questions and she answered them one by one. The smile on Mrs. He's face became bigger and bigger. The surnamed Huang When the matchmaker saw that there was a chance, he also grinned and said, "If nothing goes wrong, the marriage should be done." It can be seen that Mrs. He's wife likes Lily's character very much. She answered all the questions asked to Lily. After looking at Lily's appearance, the woman was thinking about it and reached out to take out something from her sleeve to put it in Lily's hand. Sai, as a meeting gift, which means to make an appointment with Lily, logically speaking, the marriage should be considered almost done, but Mrs. Liu's eyelids were inexplicably twitching at this moment.

Before the thing in the hands of the wife surnamed He was put into Lily's hand, a sharp girl's voice suddenly rang out: "What are you doing? You dare to chase me to the door of my house like a bastard?"

Hearing this sound, Mrs. Liu's hand holding the tea cup shook, and a few drops of tea splashed out and fell on her lips, burning her eyes with tears. She gritted her teeth and held back the anger in her heart. Before she could stand up, an angry male voice sounded:

"You are a wild girl from the Duan family. You have a mother but no father to teach you. Today, I want to find Mrs. Duan to seek justice!"

"Bah!" Duan Guilan spat, making the man even more furious. After a burst of hurried footsteps, the girl originally wearing a light green dress jumped into the shop. Mrs. Liu had combed her hair in the morning. The bun was already a little messy at this time, and there was a lot of ink on the body and face. The slightly dark skin was full of anger. Behind him was a short and thin middle-aged man in green clothes with a goatee. There was a conspicuous red slap mark on his face, and his hair was messed up. When he entered the shop, he pointed at Mr. Liu and started to curse:

"Ms. Duan, look at the good girl you taught!"

With this, Mrs. He's wife, who was about to take out the token, took Lily's hand and let go. The jade bracelet she had already taken out was quietly wiped back to her. On his wrist, the original smile on his face was now completely gone, and his eyebrows were even furrowed.

Mrs. Liu was furious when she saw this scene. She was angry with Duan Guilan for disobedient and walked out today, and she also hated the middle-aged man in Tsing Yi for ruining her family's affairs. She also said that she didn't know how to teach her daughter. This undoubtedly hit Mrs. Liu's sore spot. , she slammed the teacup in her hand onto the table, glared at Duan Guilan, and endured her anger:

"what happened?"

"What's going on? Your daughter, let me decide your fate..."

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Duan Guilan heard the middle-aged man trembling with anger and slurring his words, so she quickly interrupted him. Seeing such a scene, Mrs. He's brows furrowed even more.

Although Mrs. Liu told Duan Guilan not to run out early this morning, she was used to being wild and asked her to stay at home. She was not as calm as Lily, so after sitting there for a while, she took advantage of Mrs. Liu's absence. Be careful and slip away when you find an opportunity.

Where has she not been to in Huai City on weekdays? Because there were guests at home today, Mrs. Liu had warned her before, and Duan Guilan did not dare to run too far, for fear that Mrs. Liu would find her and get angry later.

Unexpectedly, not far from my shop, there was a sour scholar setting up a fortune-telling stall there today, testing people's calligraphy and writing letters home. The first person who approached him was a letter writer, and he would charge two or three pennies per person, and occasionally he would draw pictures and write calligraphy. I wanted to sell them, but the business was not very good. When Duan Guilan was bored, a girl wearing pink clothes and a bun came to test the words and said that they were good for marriage.

Duan Guilan hid aside and eavesdropped, and heard the scholar looking at the girl's face and saying that she had a face like a peach and a plum, and that the red luan star must have been moving recently. Duan Guilan was very amused, and the girl was blushing. , and when I finally left, I had to pay him ten cents to thank him. Duan Guilan hated the idea of ​​cheating money, and he set up a stall near her home. Without thinking, she jumped out, pointed at the scholar and cursed, and said that the scholar was cheating money. She said this The girl looked like she was destined to be a maid, but the scholar opened his mouth and talked nonsense.

Unexpectedly, these words suddenly stirred up a hornet's nest. Not only the middle-aged scholar was dissatisfied, but also the fortune teller girl was dissatisfied. She scolded her for being nosy and said she was talking nonsense. (To be continued ~^~)
