Crying in front of the matchmaker is actually not appropriate.
Chu Yunli comforted her with a few words, Zhao's mother was not a fool, and she quickly got it under control.
The matchmaker began to praise the Lu family again: "This Mr. Lu never cares about anything. He has the best food, clothing and clothes. You don't have to work after you get married, you just need to accompany him."
Chu Yunli has never considered this marriage, but she has been bored recently and couldn't help but ask one more question: "Where does the young master of the Lu family rank?"
"He is the eldest son in the family." The matchmaker whispered: "If you were not weak, this marriage would never be your turn."
Chu Yunli became more and more interested. As the eldest son of the family, he should have taken over the family business, but now he has become a wealthy and idle man. She asked curiously: "Are you seriously ill?"
"It's just..." the matchmaker hesitated: "I just can't see the wind."
Chu Yunli looked at her suspiciously: "You asked me to celebrate, right?"
"That's not true." The matchmaker hurriedly waved his hand: "I have been a matchmaker for many years, and I always say what I say. I will never push someone into a fire pit for money. You are really the most suitable person for this marriage." She explained for a long time, and she saw that
The mother and daughter in front of her became more and more disbelieving. She gritted her teeth and lowered her voice: "It's true that he is weak, but he's really not going to die. He just can't give birth!"
Mother Zhao looked strange, glanced at her daughter, and muttered: "What a coincidence, it seems..." Not bad.
The matchmaker nodded: "This marriage is actually not what I thought about. To be honest, it's our young master over there. Even if I think you two are suitable, I would never dare to say it! It was Mrs. Lu who found me and asked me to help check it out.
A girl who can't have children... Although with the Lu family's family background, any girl can be married, and most of them are innocent and healthy girls who are willing to marry, but Mrs. Lu said that this girl's family is in good health, even if
I don’t dislike Mr. Lu now, but people’s hearts are fickle, and you may dislike him one day. If you hate Mr. Lu and don’t allow her to have children, the couple will definitely have a rift!”
Mother Zhao thought this was quite reasonable.
A mocking smile appeared on Chu Yunli's lips: "Isn't this Madam Lu the biological mother of Mr. Lu?"
The matchmaker was a little surprised: "Have you heard of him?"
"I guessed it." Chu Yunli looked at Zhao's mother: "It can be seen from the Zhang family that even if Zhang Mingli is no longer able to have children, they are not willing to let my daughter-in-law, who is also unable to have children, continue to live with him. After all,
, they haven’t given up yet, they always think that the disease can be cured, and they still want to find a healthy woman to marry him. This is what parents should think."
The matchmaker agreed with this in his heart, but he couldn't say it in his mouth: "The Zhang family only has one Miao Miao, but the Lu family is different. Mr. Lu also has younger brothers and sisters."
"The world attaches great importance to inheritance, and also attaches importance to the incense after death. They always think of having their own biological blood." Chu Yunli said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Auntie, please don't blame Mrs. Tielu."
The matchmaker opened his mouth, but finally gave up the persuasion and sighed: "You girl, your words are too unpleasant. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, so these words cannot reach Mrs. Lu's ears... By the way, are you willing?
Are you willing? If you still refuse, I will find someone else."
Zhao's mother was somewhat reluctant to part with this marriage. After her daughter married into the Zhang family, the Zhao family never had to worry about money. In other words, since their daughter's engagement, the Zhao family has never had any financial difficulties.
After getting the benefit of having a rich man as her son-in-law, she would not be used to having her daughter marry an ordinary person.
"Let us discuss this matter."
After hearing this, the matchmaker's expression remained unchanged and she just looked at Chu Yunli persistently. She knew in her heart that the marriage would only turn around if the girl personally let go.
Zhao's mother secretly pulled her daughter.
Chu Yunli was thinking about the Lu family. This was a wealthy family that was not inferior to the Zhang family. It was not that she wanted to marry into it, but that she wanted to help Mr. Lu and form a good relationship.
Of course, before that, we have to see if Mr. Lu is worth helping! Just as she was thinking about it, she was pulled by Zhao's mother, and she immediately came back to her senses: "I will consider it."
The matchmaker then smiled and said, "Well, think about it carefully. It's best to give me a reply in the next two days. It's really hard to find women like this who are in trouble for children, but it's not impossible. I only go to those who are weak.
Go find it, Mrs. Lu will definitely be satisfied."
Mother Zhao sent the person away herself.
Not long after, Zhao's mother came back with a sad face: "Pisces, have you made any plans for the future? Have you ever thought about the kind of person you want to marry?"
"Actually, I don't want to get married yet, nor do I want to plan for it." Chu Yunli emphasized: "It only took less than a month for me to go from being slandered for having a baby, to being physically injured, to returning to my parents' home!"
In such a short period of time, those who don't think about it are probably already seeking death. No matter how much you think about it, it would be great if you can get out of these troubles. How can you have time to plan for the future?
Mother Zhao hesitated for a moment: "Don't blame mother for speaking harshly. You will get married sooner or later. If you stay at home for too long, it will be bad for your father's reputation. Your sister-in-law will also be unhappy... She only pointed at Sang and scolded Huai.
You will also feel uncomfortable. Now that you have met the right one, you should think about it carefully. If you miss it, it will be a lifetime thing. The matchmaker just said that you will meet at the teahouse in two days. I have agreed.
Already."
Chu Yunli instantly understood that Mother Zhao had laid so much groundwork just because she was afraid that she would not go out to meet people.
Chu Yunli herself was not the girl from the boudoir who didn't want to meet people. Besides, she wanted to see what kind of person Mr. Lu was, so she nodded immediately: "I will go see him."
After hearing this, Mother Zhao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right. Once we meet, we won't have any regrets. It's really inappropriate, so we can refuse."
Before the marriage is finalized, most people will not tell anyone about it. Especially if it concerns the reputation of the daughter's family, they have to keep it a secret.
Therefore, even though the time and place for the meeting were set, Zhao's mother said nothing to anyone except a few words to her husband. She was very concerned about her daughter's meeting and even went out to buy something for her daughter.
New clothes and a set of jewelry.
During this period, the Zhang family had already decided that the betrothal gift would be extremely generous, and Zhang Mingli personally brought the matchmaker to the door to deliver it.
Nowadays, for the Zhang family to spend so much money on marrying a daughter-in-law and having the young master come to propose marriage in person is a sign of attaching great importance to the future in-laws.
The betrothal gifts were large, and the Zhang family was wealthy, while the Luo family was just an ordinary family, which aroused everyone's discussion.
Even though Chu Yunli didn't leave home, she heard about this. Mother Zhao was upset: "If a man can't give birth, it's useless no matter how good the land is. Just look at it, the Zhang family is so wicked, they will definitely cut off their descendants."
Chu Yunli looked at the fair-skinned and beautiful woman in the mirror, smiled and said, "Mom, don't be angry, the Luo family will regret it."
"That's not necessarily the case." Mother Zhao said sourly: "The betrothal gift given by the Zhang family is much richer than what was given to you at that time. It is indeed a wealthy businessman's family. They have compensated you more than 20,000 taels of silver, but they can still come up with it."
So much money to get a wife."
She looked at her young and beautiful daughter in the mirror and said: "You have to fight hard to make Mr. Lu satisfied with you. When the time comes, we will want more than the Luo family, and the Zhang family will be so angry! And your aunt, these two
You are always talking nonsense outside, you have to make her look at you with admiration."
"People live for themselves, not just to fight for a breath." Chu Yunli took off his clothes: "Mom, if you say that again, I will get angry."
Zhao's mother is quite devoted to her daughter. In the days since Chu Yunli came back, she has been replenishing the soup. No one in the family can touch the stewed soup before she drinks it. Even if her three-year-old grandson wants to touch it, he can't.
It has to be what's left of her.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. But you must be more considerate. If Mr. Lu is not a terminally ill dying man and has a decent character, you must consider it more!"
Such words made Chu Yunli's ears tingle.
When the day came, Zhao's mother was even more excited than the real owner Chu Yunli. She worked until midnight the night before and got up before dawn the next day.
After breakfast, the mother and daughter went to the teahouse they had agreed upon. Chu Yunli was very normal about this. She didn't want to get married at all, she just wanted to see if she could have a good relationship. If not, she would
It's time to go out and relax.
Her face was relaxed, but Mother Zhao was particularly looking forward to it. She had long noticed that her daughter had been a little unforgiving in her recent remarks. On the way to the carriage, she told her, "Be careful with what you say. Even if the marriage fails, don't offend anyone."
"
"If I really offend someone, it's because he asked for it." Chu Yunli said plausibly: "Do you think I have ever taken the initiative to provoke others?"
It was only because of the short-sighted guy who came to provoke her that she fought back.
Mother Zhao thought the same thing and emphasized: "Anyway, you have to control your temper and don't scare people away."
The teahouse is quiet and quiet, with green plants everywhere. Drinking a pot of tea here is not cheap. Mother Zhao felt a little restrained after entering the door.
Even after her daughter married into the Zhang family, the Zhao family had no shortage of money, but this money was never in excess and had to be saved for Zhao's father to take the imperial examination. Therefore, Zhao's mother rarely came to such a place.
Chu Yunli was calm. After identifying herself to the waiter at the door, she followed him to the third floor.
In the private room on the third floor, as soon as the door opened, Chu Yunli immediately saw the matchmaker with a flattering face. She was standing next to a beautiful woman, bending slightly and talking with a smile.
In front of the window on the other side, there was a pale young man sitting. The moment he saw Chu Yunli, he straightened up a little, but then relaxed quickly, with a slight smile on his lips.
Chu Yunli looked at him and looked away. Mother Zhao next to her gently pushed her: "Pisces, call someone."
She stepped forward to greet the matchmaker with a smile.
After a few words of greeting, Mrs. Lu invited the two of them to sit down. During this period, she stole a few glances at her stepson. The man who was reluctant when she saw him did not feel any resistance to the woman at this time, nor was he cold-faced.
, her heart suddenly relaxed.
Chu Yunli called someone at first, but didn't say anything afterwards. And Lu Ting'an in front of the window didn't like to talk. There was a matchmaker among them, so he didn't stay silent.
Mother Zhao was also peeking at her daughter, worried that her daughter might say something inappropriate.
After a quarter of an hour, the matchmaker looked out the window: "I heard that the cloth shop opposite has brought some new materials. I can't afford the expensive ones, but the cheap ones can still be pulled up a few feet with your teeth. Let's go and take a look...
… Mr. Lu is weak, so don’t go.”
Chu Yunli was also weak and was left behind. She did not insist on chasing him out. She did not even look at the people who left. Her meaningful eyes glanced at somewhere on his body: "Weak?"
