Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 959 Really Selling Liu Xuer

When Zhou Cuilian came to the Wu family, she immediately wanted to talk to Wu Shengjin, the old man of the Wu family.This confused the Wu family.

Wu Shengjin didn't put on airs and let Zhou Cuilian in anyway.Then he asked her: "Daughter-in-law of the Liu family, I have heard that you are back a long time ago. How are you doing? Why did you think of coming to our house?"

Zhou Cuilian laughed until she lost her eyes, and said, "It's a good thing. Otherwise, how could I talk to you directly, old man."

"Oh? Your Liu family has done a lot of good things recently. Doing business and building new houses. I heard that you still have contact with the government. Your Liu Da was taken away by the government, and you can still get the government's carriage to bring you back. The road is wide enough."

Zhou Cuilian had never heard of this verse, but now that Wu Shengjin said it, she was secretly afraid.She knew that it must be Liu Ya who could do such a big thing, and it would definitely not work if she relied on Liu Xu'er alone.

However, fortunately, Liu Ya is gone now, otherwise she would be unable to do anything.Liu Ya must be her stumbling block.

Wu Shengjin, an old fox, saw Zhou Cuilian's eyes rolling wildly, and asked, "Why, the wife of the Liu family doesn't know about this? Let me tell you why you came to see me today."

"Oh, that's right. I want to marry your family." Zhou Cuilian deliberately lowered her voice, and said, "I know your family is not young, and you haven't got engaged yet. Look at us Jia Xuer is both good-looking and virtuous."

Wu Shengjin laughed when he heard that.However, he smiled gloomyly and said, "Daughter-in-law of the Liu family, you came back late, don't you know what's going on? Our Wu family originally intended to marry your Liu family, but the matchmakers came to the door, but they were beaten It came out. And I heard that Liu Xuer of your family has a relationship with the little carpenter who works for your family? Our Wu family doesn't want others to pick the leftovers."

Zhou Cuilian blinked her eyes and said, "Ah? I really don't know about this. However, what you said is not right. Our family Xu'er is young and ignorant, but she and that little carpenter are innocent. No. Besides, the important matter of marriage has to be ordered by the parents and the words of the matchmaker. How can it be left to her own temperament. You see, since you are always going to marry our family, I will come to the door today, how about Just settle the marriage today?"

Wu Shengjin shook his head and said: "But, what our Wu family is looking for is Liu Ya, the second girl of the Liu family."

"Ah? It's her." Zhou Cuilian turned resentful, then raised her eyebrows, and said, "But Mr. Wu, think about it, that girl Ya'er is wild, hot-tempered, and has a bad temper. Who can restrain her?" Huh? If she really marries into the Wu family, do you think she will be a good daughter-in-law with peace of mind? In my opinion, she is not as obedient as our Xuer."

Hearing Zhou Cuilian's words, Wu Shengjin frowned, thinking that Liu Ya had beaten all three of his grandchildren badly, and felt inappropriate.

Seeing Wu Shengjin's expression changed, Zhou Cuilian went on to say, "You also know that our Liu family has some connections with officials through Ya'er. I'm afraid that girl of hers might not be able to keep her in the village. Didn't she just run out again? Have you not been home for a while? But she is still surnamed Liu after all, and the family relationship with the Liu family is still there. If the Wu family and our Liu family get married and let Da Zhuang marry Ya'er's sister, then Ya'er will not be equal to her in the future. Are you also related to the Wu family? So, your Wu family did not marry Ya'er, but your connections have continued, so there is no loss at all."

Wu Shengjin nodded silently, feeling that what Zhou Cuilian said made sense.Then, he raised his eyelids, and asked Zhou Cuilian with a smile, "Since you are a smart woman, daughter-in-law of the Liu family, I won't turn the corner and talk. Do you have any plans for coming to propose marriage in person this time? Or do you want to marry me?" How much dowry?"

"Oh, it's not about the dowry. I'm not selling a girl." Zhou Cuilian said so, but she rolled her eyes around to look at the decorations of the Wu family, and said, "However, the Wu family is on our screen. Shancun is one of the richest households, if I said no dowry, it would be tantamount to refuting your face. The Wu family is not short of such a little money, right?"

"How much?" Wu Shengjin's tone became cold, and he seemed a little impatient.

Zhou Cuilian was afraid that Wu Shengjin would get angry, so she would send her away, so she hurriedly said, "100 taels. My Liu Xu'er is good-looking and well-behaved. What's more, our Liu family has Liu Ya, who can do a lot of great things. It's 100 taels less. , can’t do it.”

Wu Shengjin shook his head and said with a sneer, "Hehe, a village girl still sells it for 100 taels? 30 taels of silver is the highest price in the village."

"Then how can it work? The little carpenter came to propose marriage, and he gave 70 taels of silver directly." Zhou Cuilian became anxious when she heard that, she didn't expect that the Wu family would only give 30 taels of silver.

You know, this is the price of two acres of land in the village.She ran to Wu's house to open her mouth once, and sent her daughter to the door, but the result was only 30 taels of silver, she was definitely not reconciled.

Wu Shengjin thought for a while, and said: "Then 40 taels is the most. You said that the little carpenter gave your family 70 taels of betrothal gift? Can he get it? If you agree to the engagement, I will give you the 40 taels of silver note immediately. for you."

"Really?" Zhou Cuilian was tempted. Although the price of 40 taels was much lower than what she expected, she also knew in her heart that Xu Chenming's family would never be able to afford such a large amount of money.

Wu Shengjin nodded, and said, "How about we write the birthday post now, and I'll give you the money. Life... the sooner the better. I know that Liu Xuer of your family probably doesn't want to, you see How can I let her get on the sedan chair when I see it."

When Zhou Cuilian heard this, she nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, there is no need for a sedan chair, I will send her directly to Wu's house. When she arrives, she will pay homage immediately. When she enters the bridal chamber, the raw rice will be cooked, and Xu'er will You are from the Wu family."

Wu Shengjin narrowed his eyes, nodded and smiled.Immediately, she took two banknotes and put them on the table, and wrote Liu Xu'er and Wu Dazhuang's birthdays with a pen and paper. After the two exchanged, Zhou Cuilian personally pressed her fingerprints, which means that the marriage was confirmed.

Of course, Liu Xu'er didn't know all of this.She just sent Xu Chenming away, hoping that he would come to propose marriage soon.

Zhou Cuilian left Wu's house and immediately ran to her brother's house.

Zhou Cuilian's natal family is Master Zhou.And the eldest daughter of the Zhou family who was rumored to have run away with others in the village was Zhou Cuilian.

It's just that Zhou Cuilian abandoned her husband and son and left home, and the Zhou family was poked so hard by the villagers that they declared that they would no longer recognize her as a girl.
