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

Chapter 314 Cleaning up the stall
Pomegranate was so sad that she could not even cry. All these arrangements were wasted.

Mrs. Song, who was standing by, came to her senses and was also frightened. "I didn't expect that matchmaker Wang was such a wicked person. She even proposed such a marriage? She even lied to us and said that the young man was as strong as an ox and had every advantage!
Fortunately, we haven't met yet. I'll send someone to reject her letter now!"

If this really happened with the Huang family, their family would be laughed at if the news got out. So many good families would not date him, but instead dated a sickly person. This is really outrageous.

Old Yuan was also thankful, "Luckily you, Daxiang, told me about this, but how did you know about this?"

The Huang family is from Daoxiang Village. I heard that Daoxiang Village is near Luoshui City.

Daxiang is in Huangjia Village, so far away, how did you know?

Huang Yuanshi said, "You may not know that all the matchmakers in Luoshui City have made a bet for Shi Liu's marriage. Whoever can arrange Shi Liu's marriage will get all the money from the bet!

I will naturally care about any changes in your family.

"This matchmaker Wang came to your house and got your family's agreement to meet you, so she was very proud. Now, she's showing off. All of us matchmakers have heard about it, and some of us have gone to inquire about the Huang family. If you don't ask, you won't know. Once you inquire, you'll be shocked. I heard about the Huang family's true situation and rushed here immediately!"

Hearing that the matchmaker was betting on her daughter's marriage, Song's mouth twitched.

This is really true.

What's there to gamble on?

Huang Yuan came from far away, and Song kept her for dinner before sending her away. When she came back, she kept sighing, wondering why her daughter's marriage was full of twists and turns.

It was so hard for her daughter to agree to meet him so readily that she thought this was a match made in heaven.

The result, alas!

Shi Liu listened to her mother's sigh, touched her nose, and also sighed deeply.

After so much time of preparation, the end result was death before accomplishment.

While she was feeling depressed, she still had to clean up the mess.

Alas, this is what it means to work in vain.

-

In Daoxiang Village, the Huang family and the Xu family sent away matchmaker Wang. When they turned around, they saw the neighbors on both sides pointing and talking. They didn't need to listen carefully to know what they were talking about.

It's nothing more than saying that their family is wishful thinking. A sickly man still dreams of getting married. Just get married, but he actually wants to marry the girl from the Li family in Xiahe Village who was commended by the emperor for resisting bandits. This is like a toad wanting to eat swan flesh. He drank two kilograms of wine too much last night!

She never thought that the girl was the girl from the Li family!
Who knows what's going on in this girl's mind.

She also feels aggrieved.

They had never thought about finding a wife for their son, but now they are being laughed at by the villagers.

But they were the ones who signed the contract and had already received two hundred taels of silver, so it was certainly not easy for them to say these words.

Xu pretended not to hear and was about to go into the house.

"Mrs. Huang."

Someone called her from behind.

Xu turned around and saw that it was Jiang Zhuangtou. Her eyes flickered and she invited him in. "Jiang Zhuangtou, what are you doing?" Huang Baoqiao asked.

Jiang De said, "I am here to apologize to you two on behalf of my daughter. We were not thoughtful enough. Now, we have to give up the contract. I am sorry to trouble you. This is a little gift from my daughter. Please don't refuse it."

Huang Baoqiao and Xu were also shocked when they saw that Jiang De took out a silver note worth five hundred taels.

Even though they would be criticized for a while if the plan didn't work out, it would only last for a while. It wouldn't lose them a thing if they were criticized. They wouldn't arrange a marriage for their son anyway, so a bad reputation wouldn't be a big deal. But they were able to get 700 taels of silver in total. This was a good deal for anyone.

What's more, didn't they agree to the contract just for their son's medicine money? No one forced them to sign it, so they should bear the consequences.

Miss Li has given me five hundred taels of silver. She is really generous.

Huang Baoqiao was a smart man. He immediately signaled Xu to take out the contract and hand it to Jiang De, and said that all this had never existed.

Jiang De took the contract and smiled when he saw Huang Baoqiao was so understanding. He also said that if the Huang family wanted to sell land again in the future, they could just come to Erlizhuang to find him. No matter how hard others tried to lower the price, Erlizhuang would definitely sell it at the market price and would never reduce it by a single cent.

Huang Baoqiao was also happy to hear Jiang De's words. After all, although seven hundred taels of silver was a lot of money, his son's illness required medication and there might not be a time when he would need it. It was naturally good not to be forced to lower the price.

After seeing Jiang De off, the couple returned to their house. Xu couldn't help but grumble, "You said this Miss Li, she sounds like a very smart girl with a lot of brains, why is she thinking of making a fuss about her marriage? At first I thought that this girl's family is rich but her family wants to make a fuss about her marriage."

But now that she knew that this girl was Miss Li, she had heard many people say that many wealthy families in the entire Luoshui City had come to her house to propose marriage, including some scholars, but this girl didn't like any of them.

Others all say that they don't know what kind of high branch she wants to climb, but behind the scenes, this girl, wow, if anyone tells others, I'm afraid the whole city will be shocked and everyone will be amazed.

Although Huang Baoqiao was also puzzled, he did not say much. Instead, he said to Xu: "From this moment on, don't mention this matter again. We don't know this Miss Li at all. We only contacted Jiang Zhuangtou to sell the land. Do you understand?"

Xu nodded and said, "I understand." Since she had accepted money from others, she naturally had to keep her mouth shut.

Neither he nor his wife are those bad-hearted people.

Shi Liu was relieved when she received Jiang De's reply saying that everything had been resolved.

After working for a long time and wasting money, she will never do such a troublesome thing again.

Who would have thought that all the matchmakers in the city would bet on her marriage!
If there is any movement, the matchmakers cannot hide it, unless she is not looking for a family in Luoshui City.

But Shi Liu didn't have the heart to continue to struggle at the moment. Fortunately, Song was also tired of all the twists and turns, so she promised her without hesitation to take a break. If any matchmaker came to the house again, she would not meet them, so as to avoid being criticized for rejecting someone again.

This also gives Pomegranate some time to catch its breath. There is no rush, let's wait until next year.

-

The weather in Luoshui City was fine at the beginning of winter, but the howling wind from the north forced everyone to wear thick winter clothes.

The silk, cloth and garment shops on the street were all doing booming business, especially cotton, which was selling very fast.

Among them, a shop named "Fuyuanxiang Winter Clothing Store" opened with great fanfare, with two flags planted in front of the shop.

On one side it says 'Huiyuan Trading Company' and on the other side it says 'Li Ji'.

This is very familiar to everyone, because in the past two years, the new shops that have opened and are famous and popular, such as Tongwanzhai specialty shops and candy shops, all have these two flags in front of the shops, and you can tell at a glance that they are the businesses of Liu, the richest man in Bingzhou.

As for that Li Ji, it is said that he is Liu's partner. He is a Li family from Luoshui Xiahe Village, which was named "the best village in the world" by the emperor. He is also the girl named Pomegranate who is said to have the wisdom to wipe out hundreds of bandits.

With the two flags erected, everyone rushed inside to see what was going on without even glancing at the signs to see what was being sold.
