Cannon Fodder Strategy

"What are you talking about? If your sister doesn't marry, who will go beyond her to propose marriage to you? You're a damn girl. You're not old, but you're very smart." Ms. Liu didn't expect her daughter to say this, and stretched out her hand. After tapping her forehead with his finger, Duan Guilan turned her head away impatiently:

"Okay, okay, I get it, it's so annoying! But if I don't go out, I don't necessarily know that the Shen family will like her. If it is..." Before Duan Guilan finished speaking, Lily came in with breakfast. When I came into the room and heard these words, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

No matter how stupid she was, Duan Guilan knew that what she said was wrong. When Liu was extremely cautious, saying this so early in the morning was tantamount to rubbing Lily's head. Duan Guilan was feeling guilty when she saw Lily's cold look and turned around to see Mrs. Liu glaring at her. She felt a little unconvinced again. What she said was right. She would not go out to cause trouble today, but if she was serious She doesn't like Lily herself, so it has nothing to do with her.

This sister of mine is not some Seven Fairies descended to earth, so not everyone may like her.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"That's right!" Duan Guilan opened his mouth to retort: ​​"Even the money smells like copper among scholars. Why does one person have to be liked by everyone?"

When she retorted like this, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but reach out to hit her. Duan Guilan stood up and hid. She hit the corner of the chair in a hurry and burst into tears. Mrs. Liu hurriedly went to rub her, and finally saw the expressionless expression on her face. The daughter said with some embarrassment: "Forget it, she's childlike, bah bah bah."

Having watched such a play early in the morning, Lily sneered twice and said nothing.

This time Duan Guilan was indeed right. This marriage was not hers to begin with. Even if Shen Tengwen's mother liked her, Duan Guilan had to mess up the marriage in the end. Therefore, Ms. Liu was very enthusiastic about the meeting between the Shen family. Lily seemed to have nothing to do with it. It's just that this time Duan Guilan wanted to marry Shen Tengwen, Lily didn't want to take advantage of her so easily, lest she end up marrying her husband and take the blame.

"I know what kind of person she is." After Lily finished speaking, she took the bowl and stopped talking to Mrs. Liu. Duan Guilan was so angry that she wanted to talk back, but Mrs. Liu who saw something bad held her back.

During the day, Mrs. Shen did indeed bring a woman in her forties, who was indeed Shen Tengwen's mother in the plot. She talked a few words with Lily, saw the Duan family's family background, and looked at Lily's appearance. Obviously he was very satisfied with her and felt that it was almost done. Although he didn't say it clearly, he agreed to go back and find a matchmaker, indicating that Shen Tengwen's mother already had that intention.

At this point, the marriage is almost settled, as long as the horoscopes fit together smoothly. When the day was set, Mrs. Liu just had to prepare the dowry to marry her daughter. It was only then that the big stone in Mrs. Liu's heart fell to the ground. She happily said that she would go back and burn incense to thank God for his kindness. She also took five coins to thank the treasurer. Mrs. Shen, who was the matchmaker, was very happy when Mrs. Liu talked about the marriage at the dinner table that night.

"I have also found out clearly about the Mr. Shen family. Mr. Shen is indeed not talking nonsense. Shen Tengwen is only eighteen years old. He has a handsome face and is full of talents. He has been selected as a scholar at a young age, and his future will be unlimited, Lily. If she gets married, she will be a ready-made scholar. If it is like what Shen said. If Shen Tengwen succeeds and wins the title of Master of Juren. That is really the virtue accumulated by his ancestors and the blessing of the Bodhisattva. It is not impossible to find an official position in the future. You are Now, my wife, life is getting better, and I can support your sister." Ms. Liu was happy today, so she drank two glasses of wine. When she spoke, her face turned red, obviously she was a little drunk: "As soon as you get married, It's time for me to prepare for Guilan. Now that you two sisters are here, I have to tell you something directly. This shop was left by your father. I, a widowed woman, can't I will give birth to a son for the Duan family and carry on the family legacy. Once you two get married, I will be the only one left."

"As the saying goes, a married daughter throws away the water. Once you get married, you become members of your husband's family. I have to think about myself. I have to eat when I open my mouth for a day. So I will open this shop. Let me tell you straight, don’t think about it anymore. I want to stay and support myself. As for the dowry for you two, I have run a shop over the years and made some money. Don’t say I am partial. Just take it out and share half of it with each other, I won’t treat you badly.”

When Duan Guilan heard Mrs. Liu always praising Shen Teng's literary skills, she felt as if she had eaten a plum. She didn't listen to anything Mr. Liu said next. The fifteen-year-old girl still doesn't know how to fight for family property, etc., because Mrs. Liu has always had food and drink for her, and she has no idea about money, but her vanity is innate, especially when she At such an age, when I heard Madam Liu say that Lily might be an official's wife when she got married, thinking that they were two sisters, Madam Liu also said that she would support him in the future.

Now that Lily is lukewarm towards him, how is it possible for him to look at her face in the future?

What's more, they are all sisters, and she is not inferior to her at all. Why should Mrs. Liu look down on herself? The more Duan Guilan thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and she couldn't help curling her lips:

"Mom said that Shen Tengwen is as good as heaven and earth. If he is so good, how could he not find a wife at such an early age? Maybe there is some reason." She was used to speaking openly, and this sentence After saying it, Duan Guilan was still holding the vegetables to eat, and Mrs. Liu's face suddenly turned dark. Although Mrs. Liu has always been partial, Duan Guilan's words were really offensive. Thinking of the quarrels between the two sisters a few days ago, Mrs. Liu was worried that Lily would take these words to heart.

If the matter between Lily and Shen Tengwen is as expected, it should be settled. Shen Tengwen's mother has sent a message today that she will formally invite the Shen family to be the matchmaker. Once the two parties agree, the Shen family will come to formally appoint them. , Shen Tengwen is a promising man. He was selected as a scholar at the age of eighteen, and Baihe married into the Shen family. Once Shen Tengwen has a future, if he really becomes an official, Duan Guilan will have many more days to rely on Baihe.

Mrs. Liu also knew the virtues of her daughter. Duan Guilan was not as beautiful as Lily, and had a carefree personality. She kept getting into trouble all year round. Lily had said something about Ms. Liu's partiality before, although Duan Guilan criticized her at that time, but Mrs. Liu also understood that what Lily said was true. Duan Guilan had a bad appearance and a bad temper. She had pitied her since she was a child because she had no father. He raised her like a child, and she couldn't cook or embroider. If she compared her feelings, she would If you want to marry such a daughter-in-law, you must be dissatisfied. My mother-in-law is not my own mother, so how can I allow her to behave like this after marriage?

What Mrs. Liu was most worried about before was not that Lily couldn't get married. Even though Lily was already seventeen, Mrs. Liu was never as worried as she was about Duan Guilan. What she worried most about was that Duan Guilan wouldn't be able to get married. If Lily really got married, Shen Xiucai, Shen Xiucai became famous in the future. If the relationship between the two sisters was better, and there was a sister who was a scholar's wife to take care of her, and I would privately subsidize Duan Guilan more, and prepare a generous dowry for her, maybe they would get married.

So Mrs. Liu is really happy today. Once Lily's marriage is completed, the big stone in her heart of worrying about her two daughters has finally been settled. It can be seen that the younger daughter is still talking without restraint. No matter how much Mrs. Liu dotes on her, , couldn't help but reach out and hit the back of her hand.

Duan Guilan was still holding the dish, but Leng Hui was slapped by Mrs. Liu. When his hand shook, the dish could not be held firmly with the chopsticks, and it fell off the table with a 'pop'.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Shen Xiucai went to school a few years ago, so he delayed, and now he doesn't marry a wife." Mrs. Liu scolded and winked at Duan Guilan. Duan Guilan had a hot temper. Under certain circumstances, Xia was quite similar to Mr. Liu. As soon as the dish was knocked out of his chopsticks, he immediately threw the chopsticks away and shouted:

"Why am I talking nonsense? That's right! My sister is not married at the age of 17, and the neighbors are talking about it. How can someone named Shen still not talk about a wife at the age of 18? There may be something wrong with her! What's more? What kind of scholar is he? He has no power to restrain a chicken. The liar who set up a fortune-telling stall outside our shop also said he was a scholar. Why didn't you praise me?"

She was talking about the middle-aged scholar whom Lily went to beat up during their first blind date. Duan Guilan didn't mention it, but it was a good thing. As soon as she mentioned it, Ms. Liu became furious and her voice gradually got louder. :

"You still have the nerve to say that? Can you be the same as Shen Xiucai? Why do you, a damn girl, like to talk nonsense?"

"Why is it called nonsense? I'm telling the truth!" Duan Guilan patted the table, and the bowl of 'Deng Deng Deng' shook violently: "Mom is so partial that there is no limit to it. My sister is good at everything and I am bad. If you don’t like me, I’ll leave the head office!”

"you……"

There was no end to the meal. Duan Guilan sneered in his heart when he said what was wrong with Shen Tengwen. Shen Tengwen didn't belong to her in the first place. No matter how much Duan Guilan slandered him, it had nothing to do with her. Mrs. Liu seemed to be afraid that she would be angry. After taking a bite of rice, he reached out and patted the table heavily:

"Have you had enough noise?" She used to be quiet and tepid when talking to Mr. Liu, but this was the first time she spoke so loudly. Ms. Liu was startled, and Duan Guilan also turned to look at her, Lily Staring at Duan Guilan: "I am not married at the age of seventeen. Who caused it? The eighteenth surnamed Shen is not married. Maybe there is a troublemaker like you in the family." (To be continued~^~)
