The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 271 The Matchmaker's Mouth
Is this the nth matchmaker who has come to your door since the beginning of this year?

Well, I can’t count them all.

It’s not that Shi Liu is confident, but this is definitely directed at her, there’s no need to guess.

No matter how many matchmakers came, there was no reason to refuse them entry. So Mrs. Song invited them into the main room to have tea.

Li Jihe was not at home, but Old Mrs. Yuan and Old Man Li were both there, waiting to hear whose family the matchmaker was going to talk about next.

These days, there are many cloth shops and grocery stores in the city. Even Fan Dajiang, who started out as a soy sauce business across the street, has invited a matchmaker to come to their door.

They were also aware of the fact that their own girl, Pomegranate, was the daughter-in-law that every family in Luoshui City wanted to marry.

It's not that there are too many people proposing marriage, but that she is overwhelmed and doesn't know which one to choose. So now Song feels that none of these people are worthy of such a smart and capable daughter like her.

She wanted to find a man for her daughter who was talented and capable, rather than someone who relied on his family for his abilities.

Anyway, take your time and watch it.

The matchmaker's smile was as beautiful as a chrysanthemum. She was also very eloquent, saying a string of sweet words, praising Pomegranate to the point that she was the best in the world. The Song family members almost got carried away by her words.

As expected of the city’s official media, it really has a clever tongue.

I just wonder who invited such an eloquent official media?
Look, the matchmaker, who had praised the woman highly at first, now started praising the man.

"Oh! Old man, old lady, and Mrs. Song, you don't know that this man's family owns hundreds of acres of land and several shops in the city. That means they have a lot of money but a lot of rice!
The key is that this young man himself is also very capable and has already achieved fame at a young age. His future is limitless! Moreover, this young man is also very handsome and looks better than Pan An...blah blah blah..."

Of course they will feel proud when praising their own daughters. After all, they also think that their own children are good, right?

But when it comes to praising the man, the Song family members are unusually sober.

After all, there are too many matchmakers coming to the door these days, and every one of them doesn’t praise the man to the heavens.

For example, the matchmaker hired by Fan Dajiang's family across the street praised him as follows: "This young man is smart and capable, has a handsome appearance, is eight feet tall, is very brave, and is also good at doing business..."

But they were so close that they had some idea. Fan Dajiang's eldest son was smart, but he was said to be stubborn. He would sell the sauce however his father said and he would just listen to his father. He was just obedient and had no ideas of his own.

As for his appearance, I can only say that his mouth and eyes are not crooked and he is pleasing to the eye, but he can't really be called handsome. As for his eight feet tall and heroic appearance... he is just a skinny bamboo pole!

They didn't know anything else, but just what the matchmaker said about Fan Dajiang's family was enough for them to deeply understand how this matchmaker could deceive people to death with her words.

So even though the matchmaker praised the man highly and his conditions did sound very good, they could not believe it completely.

However, because the conditions were so good, Father Li couldn't help but ask, "Hundreds of acres of land? That's a landlord! I wonder where he is from?"

He knows a few of the landlords in this area.

The matchmaker smiled and said, "It's Mr. Zhou from Datong Town! Everyone who knows me, Liu the Matchmaker, knows that I am always honest when I'm a matchmaker and I never tell lies!"

I think the old man has heard of this Mr. Zhou. This Mr. Zhou is kind and generous. The rice shop he runs in the city often donates money to help the poor. There are more than a hundred people working as laborers in the Zhou family. Who would not praise Mr. Zhou for his kindness when talking about him?
Mr. Zhou has only two sons, and the youngest son is only a few years old. This time, he is talking about marriage for his eldest son! The eldest son inherits the family business. In the future, most of Mr. Zhou's family business will belong to the eldest son. If Miss Li marries, she will be a real young lady, and she will be the head of the family in the future!"

Old Man Li had indeed heard of Mr. Zhou from Datong Town. When he was young, he and his eldest brother went to work for the Zhou family. At that time, Mr. Zhou's father was the head of the family. He was also a kind and honest man.

With a father like that, Mr. Zhou is naturally kind and generous. With such a grandfather and father, this child will definitely not be too bad, and he will also have a good reputation!

Old Man Li felt warm in his heart and couldn't help but glance at the old woman.

Old Mrs. Yuan nodded secretly in her heart and couldn't help but give Mrs. Song a wink.

Although Song didn't know Mr. Zhou, but seeing the looks of her parents-in-law, she didn't refuse outright as she had done before, but just said she would think about it carefully.

Matchmaker Liu never thought that she could get the marriage done the first time she went there. She would have to go back and forth several times to get the marriage done, and she would get more money if she could get the marriage done!

She immediately agreed with a smile, spoke well of the man's family, and then said she would visit again another day.

It's time for lunch now, so it would be bad to refuse some food. After all, if I didn't refuse it outright, then there is a possibility, right?
Song invited Liu the Matchmaker to dinner right away, and Liu the Matchmaker did not refuse and accepted with a smile.

She had long been curious about the Li family in Xiahe Village.

Who in the whole Luoshui City doesn't know about the Li family? Their ancestors were farmers, and they made their fortune halfway through. In just less than two years, they have become so prosperous. Now, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Li family is a well-known wealthy family in Luoshui City.

Even the wealthy families in Luoshui City have never opened shops in the provincial capital. Doesn't this show the capability of the Li family?
Shi Liu's family usually had quite a good meal, so when guests came, the food would be even richer. Therefore, when Matchmaker Liu looked at the table full of sumptuous food including chicken, duck and fish, she nodded secretly.

The Li family is really well off!
They are a perfect match with the Zhou family!

She felt that this marriage could be accomplished with wine. Oh, this was a huge sum of matchmaker money. Mr. Zhou was so generous!

After the meal, they stayed for another cup of tea, and then Matchmaker Liu said goodbye and left happily.

Only then did Mrs. Song, Mrs. Yuan, and Mr. Li get together to talk about this marriage.

Father Li said, "I know the Zhou family. They are indeed big landlords. My elder brother and I worked there for a while. The Zhou family had so many fields that we couldn't even count them! That was more than 30 years ago. I'm afraid the Zhou family has even more land after so many years.

It is true that since the family has so many fields, most of the rice shops in the city belong to them.

As for what that young man is like, I don’t know, but Mr. Zhou and his father are both very kind people with good reputations, so I think this young man is not bad either.”

Song listened and couldn't help but ask, "According to what father said, this marriage seems to be okay?"

He came from a wealthy family, was the eldest son, and was a scholar himself, with the honor of being a Tongsheng.

Listen, there's really no choice.

Old Yuan couldn't help but ask, "How about we meet each other?"

At least among all the marriage proposals that have come to them in recent days, this is the first one that they think is quite good.

Anyway, seeing each other is not a big deal. Even if you don’t like each other, it won’t affect your future plans of getting married.

"Okay, when Liu the matchmaker comes again, we'll agree to meet each other!" Song blurted out.

Pomegranate: ...Let them see each other, there is no point in not keeping them busy, anyway, she will say that they are not worthy of each other when the time comes.
