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

Chapter 311 If I say you stink, you stink

Phew, it’s finally here.

Tong's mother secretly breathed a sigh of relief. During the time she was waiting, she was really worried that the Li family would not come.

This marriage cannot fail, my son's ambition to become an official depends on this marriage!

Song pulled Shi Liu up the mountain and saw three people waiting in front of the temple gate. She knew at a glance that they must be members of the Tong family.

I was a little confused at the moment. Who would be so open about seeing each other? Are they afraid that others don't know that their two families are seeing each other?

But thinking that maybe they were waiting here because they were late, he didn't say anything.

On the other side, Matchmaker Jin claimed to be an old acquaintance, and walked up to them with a smile and started a conversation, which was considered a suitable opening.

"Oh, isn't this Mrs. Li? What a coincidence, are you here to burn incense too?"

Song nodded slightly, "Yes, it's Sister Jin, you guys are here to burn incense too."

Matchmaker Jin said, "Isn't it?"

Then he introduced Song: "I am here with my eldest sister, this is her son."

After Tong's mother was introduced, she smiled and greeted Song. Tong Liang also politely performed the salute of a scholar and said, "Hello, auntie."

Song quickly looked at him, and without saying much, nor introducing the pomegranate to them, she smiled and said, "Then I'll go burn incense first, and we'll talk later."

Although it was under the guise of burning incense, the incense still had to be burned. Song also wanted to pray to Buddha to wish his eldest daughter-in-law a safe delivery.

As for not introducing Shi Liu to them, even though she was in a hurry and was afraid that she would be late and offend the other party, but when she really came up, she had to behave properly, because they were girls and they didn't want to rush in.

The three of them watched the mother and daughter walk into the temple, then moved to a quiet pavilion in the back to sit and talk while waiting for them to come out.

"What do you think? That girl is really good, right?" Matchmaker Jin said casually.

Tong's mother and Tong Liang kept nodding, especially Tong Liang, who couldn't hide the light in his eyes.

When Matchmaker Jin saw the mother and son like this, she secretly curled her lips.

Although her job was to be a matchmaker and it didn't matter who she was matchmaking for, as long as she gave the matchmaker a reasonable amount of money, she was still very upset about this marriage.

It's nothing, it's just that the county magistrate's family invited her, but the Li family refused without even considering it.

This time when she went to Tong's house, they actually met each other. This was really something that even she, as a matchmaker, couldn't understand.

Here, Song and Shi Liu went into the temple, talking in low voices.

"Your great aunt is right. Mr. Tong is indeed handsome."

"As long as you have a nose, eyes and a mouth, you can be considered Zhou Zheng."

"He's still so polite."

"I think his manners are quite inappropriate."

Song:.
She turned her head and looked over. "You don't like it? Then shall we go over there later?"

Pomegranate shrugged, "Let's wait and see."

Hearing that she was willing to take another look, Song was slightly relieved. "Mother tells you, this appearance can't be used to make a living. As long as this person treats you well, that's enough. This is life. It's all about knowing how to be warm and cold. Nothing else matters, understand?"

Shi Liu said she knew, but she was thinking, if she really wanted to get married, what's the point of being nice to her? The toad was nice to her, but she felt aggrieved to be with a toad all her life.

Between the toad and the swan, who wouldn't want to choose the swan? It's just that the swan is a scum. She can just eat the swan meat, kick it away and then find the next swan. It's such a simple thing.

Not long after, the mother and daughter, who had burned incense, entered the pavilion. The three women sat around a round table, talking and laughing, as if they were reminiscing about the past.

Shi Liu was sitting on the porch behind the Song family's side, admiring the scenery outside the pavilion. The direct gaze from the opposite side made her frown slightly.

When she glanced over, she saw Tong Liang staring at her intently. When he saw her looking at him, he acted as if he was very affectionate.

vomit.

Shi Liu almost vomited the food he had eaten at noon.

What the hell, this man is so disgusting, and he’s a scholar.

If you want to unleash your charm to seduce others, please go and get a nice-looking face first.

Shi Liu got goose bumps all over her body. Seeing that Song and Matchmaker Jin had almost finished talking, she stood up and walked over to pat her gently.

Song understood and immediately said goodbye.

Tong's mother stood up to see him off reluctantly. She couldn't help but want to ask the other party what he thought of her, but she held back. It was too rude and she didn't want to make the other party look down on her.

Judging from what happened today, she was still very confident that it would work. After all, she had just had a good chat with Mrs. Li. She just had to go back and wait for the result.

The group went down the mountain one after another. Matchmaker Jin went with the mother and son of the Tong family. They agreed to go to the Li family early the next morning to inquire about the result.

Meanwhile, on the return carriage, Song was also asking Shi Liu, "What do you think? I think Mrs. Tong is very kind and forthright, and will definitely be a good mother-in-law. I was thinking of finding a topic for you to talk to Mr. Tong and get to know each other better, but why did you ask me to leave?"

Shi Liu complained, "Mother, you have a bad eye for people. I don't know if Mrs. Tong is suitable to be a mother-in-law, but Mr. Tong is definitely not suitable to be a husband. He just stared at me straight, and when he saw me looking over, he flirted with me. Tell me, is this appropriate?"

Song frowned when she heard this. She did not doubt that her daughter was lying, so she could not help but say speechlessly, "This man looks decent and is a scholar. How can he be so frivolous?"

How can you flirt with a girl like that when you are in a serious relationship? It doesn't sound like a good thing.

When her two sons looked at each other, they both blushed and were embarrassed to look at the girl. But the one who was staring at her straightly showed that he was not a good person.

Shi Liu didn't need to say much, Song said herself: "This marriage didn't work out. It sounded so good to have a gentleman who was a juren. I didn't expect that the juren was not such a good person. Next time, we should be more careful. What sounds good may not necessarily be the right thing."

Shi Liu nodded vigorously, "Mom is absolutely right."

"Then if the matchmaker comes to my house tomorrow, I will just reject her directly."

Shi Liu rolled her eyes and said, "There must be a reason for rejecting the marriage. You can't say that we don't agree because Mr. Tong is frivolous."

Song nodded, "You can't say that. Let's just say we don't like it?"

"I didn't like the first two, but this time I'm still a juren. If it gets out, I don't know what others will say about me."

Song's expression was indescribable. "You know, there were so many good things in front of you, but you refused."

Shi Liu hurriedly laughed it off, "So this time we can't say that, nor can we directly say that Mr. Tong is frivolous or something like that. Let's just say that he has a strange odor on his body, and it must be unbearable to smell it!"

Song: “.” Saying that someone stinks and it’s unbearable doesn’t seem to be any better?
But who cares? Not directly saying that he is frivolous is giving him face!

Song nodded and decided it.

Therefore, when the matchmaker Jin came to the house again the next day, she received a reply from the Li family that they had rejected the marriage.

Matchmaker Jin tentatively asked the reason.

Song hesitated and seemed to find it difficult to speak before telling the reason.

Matchmaker Jin: Mr. Tong has a strange odor, so stinky that it's unbearable? Didn't she smell it yesterday? Is it because her nose is not working well?

With such self-doubt, Matchmaker Jin came to her senses after leaving Xiahe Village. Who cares if the man stinks or not? As long as the marriage doesn't go through, it will be fine. Otherwise, how embarrassing it will be for the county magistrate.

Matchmaker Jin was already dissatisfied with the behavior of the mother and son of the Tong family after all their interactions, so it was just what she wanted that the Li family rejected the marriage proposal.

When they arrived at the Tong family, Matchmaker Jin told the whole story word for word. Seeing the Tong family members looking in disbelief and wanting her to go and talk to the Li family again, she quickly made an excuse and left.

After returning to the city, there were people who came to ask her about the result. After all, there were many people who were concerned about who the Miss Li would marry.

Matchmaker Jin did not hide anything and told the matter.

Others were also surprised to hear that Mr. Tong was rejected by the Li family because he had a strange body odor.

Mr. Tong has a strange smell on his body?
No matter whether it exists or not, who would really go and smell it to find out? Just let it spread!

People who like to follow gossip never think before they proceed. So what's the point of spreading verified gossip?
Therefore, the news spread from ten to a hundred, and within a day, it spread throughout the entire Luoshui City.

Mr. Tong had a terrible stench that was unbearable, so the girl from the Li family rejected him as soon as she saw him!
Word spread around, and finally the story got around that Mr. Tong's stench could be smelled from ten miles away, and anyone who got close to him would be suffocated by the stink. If anyone married him, wouldn't they be suffocated to death by the stink they had to smell every day?
As a result, Mr. Tong's marriage became a very difficult problem. Later, the Tong family even tried to get married but it was unsuccessful. The family that the Tong family wanted to marry looked down on him, and the family that liked Mr. Tong was unwilling to compromise.

It dragged on for a long time, and finally for the sake of the family lineage, the Tong family had to compromise and married Ju Zhong off to a girl from a decent family. The girl was a nice person, but his hope of using the endless money to buy an official position or something like that didn't work out.

Mr. Tong's dream of becoming an official was shattered. Later, he gritted his teeth and took part in the imperial examination, but fell ill on the way. Finally, he gave up, returned home to open a private school, and became a teacher from then on.

Let’s not talk about this for now, it’s all a story for later.

Right now, everyone in the Li family was gathered together talking about the rejection of this marriage proposal. After hearing Song say that Mr. Tong was frivolous and not a good person, Old Man Li started to curse and no longer cared about whether he was a scholar or not.

Scholars are also hypocritical!
He also couldn't imagine why it was so difficult to find a marriage for his granddaughter, with so many things to deal with. In the end, he just waved his hands and said, "Never mind, let your granddaughter do whatever she wants!"
As he was speaking, there was a noise at the door.

Li Chunxi came in and reported: "A matchmaker named Wang came outside and said she was here to propose marriage!"

What?
The matchmaker is here again?
These are really one after another, the atmosphere is really good!

Whose family is it this time?

Pomegranate, who was sitting upright, smiled and said, "Here I come."

Let’s just stop here with all the excitement of marriage proposals.

"Mom, please invite the matchmaker in."

After Shi Liu's reminder, he stood up and slipped to the back to eavesdrop.
