In the main hall, which didn't even have any ornaments, Xu Duming, the eldest son of the Xu family, who was wearing a brocade robe that had turned pale after washing, looked at Matchmaker Liu who was standing in the hall with a straight face and said, "You made your promise back then. Yes, within three days, the marriage will definitely be agreed, but now five or six days have passed, and it still hasn’t happened. If you can’t agree on the marriage, return the one hundred taels of silver to me." He said. Figure out your own solution.
He got that one hundred taels of silver by pawning Ding kiln red porcelain.
"Young Master Xu, don't worry!" Matchmaker Liu waved her handkerchief and comforted her. The money went into her pocket, and it was impossible for her to take it out again. Moreover, she wanted to give it to Young Master Xu. I was bitten by a dog when I said we were in love!
"I've been thinking of ways these days!" Matchmaker Liu said, "I think you, Master Xu, have heard that Mr. Nalu came to propose marriage the day before yesterday, but was directly kicked out by the Shen family. These days, Mr. Nalu came to the door to propose marriage. The matchmaker of the kiss has not even seen Widow Shen. It can be seen that Widow Shen also knows what the purpose of those who come to propose marriage is, and she is wary! Therefore, the road of proposing marriage will not work. of."
He had heard about Master Na Lu, and many people were laughing at Master Na Lu. He came to propose marriage but was kicked out, and even used a pile of broken copper and stones to cover up the Shen family's money.
"So you have figured out a way?" Xu Duming looked at Matchmaker Liu and asked.
Matchmaker Liu nodded, stretched out two fingers and said, "I thought of two ways."
Xu Duming: "Tell me and listen."
"Since ancient times, beauties love heroes. Mr. Xu, you are handsome. If there is a drama about a hero saving a beauty like what is written in the storybook, then even if Mrs. Shen is not able to fall in love with you, Master Xu, you will change in her heart. It makes a difference." What Liu Matchmaker likes to watch the most is this kind of drama. "A woman who has had a man will feel empty and lonely. It was okay at first, but over time she will miss the man. Mr. Xu, after you rescued her, , if you deliberately get close to her a few times and be gentle to her, she will definitely be attracted to you. When the time comes to propose marriage, it will naturally be a matter of course."
Xu Duming frowned, wasn't this just asking her to approach Mr. Shen to seduce her?
"Where is the other one?" Xu Duming asked.
Matchmaker Liu whispered: "Then I want to find a way to drug that Mrs. Shen and let you two make rice and cook it. In this way, Mrs. Shen will have to marry you even if she doesn't want to marry."
If this widow becomes unclean, she will be drowned in saliva. Master Xu and the Shen family have cooked the rice. If the Shen family does not comply, they can threaten her with this matter. If she still wants to have the honor to live. , then I have no choice but to agree.
"It's just..." Matchmaker Liu changed the topic, "There are risks in doing this. If it succeeds, it will be great. If it fails, Master Xu, you will be sued."
In fact, she is more inclined to the first method. After all, Master Xu is really good-looking and comes from a wealthy family. Although his family has fallen into decline, he still has this nobility.
The Xu family used to be very wealthy and engaged in the silk and satin business. There were three silk and satin shops in Jiangzhou City.
This wealthy family suddenly fell into decline, either because of an accident or because someone in the family was involved in prostitution and drugs.
Mr. Xu was involved in both. He fell in love with the oiran of the Peony House. For one thousand taels a night, Mr. Xu hired the oiran for a month. The Peony House was not only a place to find flowers and seek advice, but also had a casino inside. Mr. Xu just lost all the money in the three silk and satin shops in the Peony Building.
He also owed gambling debts and had to sell off his property to repay them, leaving only this house.
Mr. Xu had no money, and the oiran lady stopped seeing him. He was so sad that he suffered a stroke. Now he is lying on the bed like a useless person, and he still needs to be taken care of.
Mrs. Xu also suffered from a serious illness and had to take medicine every day. The medicine was very expensive, costing more than a dozen taels per pair. In the past, this was nothing, but now that there are only three old servants in the family, they can only serve as
For the Xu family, who had only a few things to live on, there were a lot of them.
What's more, Xu Duming also has two younger brothers and three younger sisters to support. They are used to living in a good life and living in a big house. They are not able to endure hardships and they all want to live the good life of wealth and wealth.
Especially for Xu Duming, after the Xu family fell into decline, the woman originally planned to get married was canceled. He came to visit him and was humiliated by the woman's family.
Those who flattered him in the past also looked down on him and laughed at him. He wanted to make the Xu family richer than before and trample under his feet those who looked down on him and humiliated him, so he found
Matchmaker Liu went to the Shen family to arrange marriage.
Although Mrs. Shen is a widow with a child, if he marries her, her property will also belong to him.
This is the fastest and easiest way to make the Xu family richer than before.
Although he has not yet married a wife, he will be laughed at if he marries a widow, but those people will only laugh in their hearts and still have to fawn over him on the surface.
The defeat of the Xu family made him see people's hearts very clearly.
