At this point, the problem can only be solved by finding the matchmaker Liu.
However, this matchmaker Liu does not seem to be from Changshan County. Before she came to propose marriage, she had always been unknown. Unlike Chang Baolin, who had proposed marriage for the Zhou family before, she was a well-known official matchmaker in Changshan County.
Most people know her.
Now if we want to find her, it’s really hard to say whether we can find her. This is what the Zhuqing family feels is strange. If the Pang family really wants to marry, why don’t they find a reliable matchmaker?
What about coming to the door? Moreover, when he came, he deliberately skipped Sun Fucheng and Wang, who were Zhuqing's parents.
This shows that the Pang family has no sincerity at all, and it also shows that the Pang family may have done it deliberately.
Of course, only the Pang family knows whether the Pang family did this intentionally.
Sun Fucheng said he was going to find Matchmaker Liu, but he obviously fell into the trap of the Pang family.
They were eager for him to come out and look for her! It was certain that this "Matchmaker Liu" would probably not be found.
Zhuqing didn't speak, and secretly observed the facial expression of Manager Pang.
She found that when her father, Sun Fucheng, said that he was looking for "Matchmaker Liu", Manager Pang's face was obviously not so tense. Obviously, he must know the whereabouts of "Matchmaker Liu".
And he knew very well that "Matchmaker Liu" would probably not be found.
And what he said next also confirmed Zhuqing's guess: "Okay, as long as you can find Matchmaker Liu, we will confront her on the spot. The right and wrong will be decided by the public."
Seeing that he agreed to his proposal, Sun Fucheng breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to nod when he suddenly heard a crisp voice: "Wait a minute! I don't think this matter should be handled this way!"
The owner of this voice was his daughter Zhuqing! He couldn't help but frown: "Qingya, you kid, don't mind adults' affairs!" He subconsciously wanted to protect his daughter.
Zhu Qing, however, had a determined look on his face: "Dad, this matter is nothing else, it is a major matter related to my life! I can't ignore it!"
Then, under the surprised look of Manager Pang, her parents walked up to him and said to him: "I don't want to marry the Pang family! I didn't want to before, and I still don't want to after that! If you insist on forcing me,
Me, I can only die! When the time comes, when I die, there will be nothing left!"
When Zhu Qing said the word "death", he said it very firmly, which made Manager Pang feel very embarrassed.
But when they heard that Zhu Qing was threatening her with death, everyone in the Sun family couldn't help but feel nervous: "Qingya, don't be stupid! You can't mess with this!"
Ms. Wang was so anxious that she almost burst into tears: "Qingya, don't scare mother! No matter what, we can't go that way! Qingya, mother will never let you marry her, don't worry!
"
Once he touches his daughter, Wang immediately transforms into the angry-eyed Vajra.
She immediately stood in front of Zhu Qing, facing Manager Pang: "You also heard that my daughter does not want to marry to the Pang family. When matchmaker Liu came last time, our family didn't know.
Opinions are rejected. Now since you insist on negotiating with us
If you are getting married in the Sun family, you will marry whose birth date you take back! If you want to marry our Qingya, there is no way! Not to mention that our Qingya will force her to die, even I will go to the county magistrate.
Complain! I still don’t believe it, there is no law in this world that cannot be done!”
Then she didn't wait for Manager Pang to react, but she said to Lu and Sun Mantang: "Dad, mother-in-law, we made it very clear to you last time that our family will not marry the Pang family! Who did this?
It’s up to someone else’s child to take responsibility for the matter! Don’t even think about getting involved with our Qingya!”
After she finished speaking, she pulled Zhuqing away: "Qingya, let's go! This matter has nothing to do with our family!"
Seeing that Mr. Wang was about to leave, Manager Pang became anxious: "Wait a minute, this is not something you can do just because you say no! You said you had rejected it, but our family has never received a rejection letter from anyone.
Based on this, our master can speak to the county magistrate!"
"Then let's all stop talking and go directly to the county magistrate and let him make a final decision!" Wang said straightforwardly.
She thought that her daughter had already won a commendation from the county magistrate. Compared with ordinary girls, she must be more valued by the county magistrate. At this time, the Pang family wanted to take advantage of it, but they happened to meet Zhu Qing.
Zhuqing also agreed with Wang's attitude.
The Pang family wanted to use their power to suppress others, but she refused to let him.
She said to Li Zheng, who was watching their negotiation: "Grandpa Li Zheng, please send us to the county again now. I will go directly to the county magistrate to explain this matter clearly and ask him about this matter."
How to deal with it!"
If any other girl had said such words, everyone listening would probably have laughed. Is the county magistrate so easy to meet? He actually said that he would meet him if he met him. He simply doesn’t know how high the sky is and how high he is.
.But when Zhuqing said this, no one would think that she was bragging.
Magistrate Guan has always had a good impression of Zhu Qing. Ever since he eliminated the Wu family, he has paid more attention to establishing his own image of being upright and upright.
If Prime Minister Pang County is really using his power to suppress others, he will definitely not get any good results if he falls into the hands of Magistrate Guan County.
Manager Pang also understood this truth, so when he heard that Zhu Qing was going to see the county boss immediately, he couldn't help but become nervous.
"Miss Sun, why are you bothering? This is not a big deal. We can just discuss it carefully. The county magistrate has to deal with many things every day, so how can we disturb this old man?" He quickly stood up to stop him.
Seeing his tone, Zhu Qing knew that he was bluffing like that before. He could also understand that the idea that the Pang family came to get married was entirely their own wishful thinking. And it was just because he was afraid that his family would not agree that he deliberately did so many things.
The moth.
Such behavior is really disgusting. Of course, Lu and his second aunt Li Yuhuan, who cooperated with them, were not innocent.
Zhuqing thought that since they were climbing high like this, their ambitions would be fulfilled.
So he said to Li Zheng: "Grandpa Li Zheng, let's go quickly! It's getting late now. If we hurry up, we might be able to get to the county government office before dark!"
Of course, Li Zheng didn't want Zhu Qing to marry into the Pang family. So when he heard Zhu Qing's words, he immediately cooperated: "Okay, come on, let's leave quickly and try to get to the county government office before dark."
Sun Fuhou and the others originally thought that Sun Fucheng would come and help them solve this matter. In their opinion, the best way was to let Zhuqing marry into the Pang family. The next best way was to discuss with the Pang family about breaking off the engagement.
Sun Fucheng and others were able to spend one hundred and fifty taels of silver to make up for the shortfall.
Unexpectedly, Zhuqing immediately came to the rescue. Not only would the Pang family not get a penny, but they might also be punished by the county boss.
Such a way to solve the problem all at once was something they had never dared to think of before.
When Manager Pang saw Li Zheng cooperating with Zhu Qing, he knew something was going to happen. He quickly stood up and wanted to stop him, but now no one took him seriously.
Zhuqing followed Li Zheng directly onto their mule cart. Li Zheng flicked his whip, and the mule cart ran towards the county town.
Although Sun Fucheng and the others had borrowed the mule cart before and used it for a day, Sun Fucheng and the others were kind people. Sun Fucheng said that usually driving the cart was slow, but the mule car was actually more leisurely all day today.
Duo. I am driving it to run now, and it can just have some fun. So it runs steadily and fast.
From Ping'an Town to Changshan County, it usually only takes an hour by mule cart. Today, they were driving in a hurry, and they arrived at the county government office in half an hour.
When Zhuqing showed up at the gate of the county government office, the government officer on duty had already recognized her.
"Isn't this Miss Sun? What kind of wind brought you here today?" As soon as he saw Zhu Qing, he greeted him with a smile.
Zhuqing also responded to him: "Hello, Brother Chen! I came to see the county magistrate today because I have something to ask him to comment on for me!"
"Oh, you want to find the county magistrate. Okay, I'll go in immediately and report it to you!" Hearing that Zhuqing wanted to find the county magistrate, the yamen officer surnamed Chen immediately agreed to report it for her.
Zhuqing had left a really good impression on them before. So now he said he wanted to find the county magistrate, and they immediately went to inform her.
"My lord, Miss Sun, who has received a commendation, is here. She said she wants to see you for something!" Guan Dingzhong was surprised and excited when he heard that he was going to see him yesterday.
This girl is his lucky star. Last time, he suddenly eliminated the Wu family, a scourge that had been entrenched in Changshan County for many years. Not only did his official reputation become famous, but he was also directly praised by his superiors.
It is said that the second master of the Zhou family, who is in the capital, also expressed his intention to support him, a county magistrate who works impartially, in the future. This is what excites him the most.
Of course, he was able to have such a good opportunity, and catching the scarred tiger Sun Zhuqing can be regarded as a great achievement.
Therefore, he made an exception and gave a reward to a little girl like Zhu Qing.
"Oh, let that little girl come in quickly! I want to see if she has anything to do with me!" Guan Dingzhong had a businesslike tone, but everyone could hear the excitement in his tone.
"Yes, sir, I'll invite her in right now!" The yamen servant surnamed Chen nodded quickly in response.
"Miss Sun, our master has invited you!" He arrived outside the county government office and immediately politely invited Zhu Qing in.
So Zhuqing and Lizheng followed him into the office building of the county government office in Dingzhong.
"I've seen the county master!" Seeing Guan Dingzhong sitting on the Grand Master's chair, even though Zhu Qing didn't really want to kneel down, he was pulled by Li Zheng to bend his knees.
"No ceremony, no ceremony, no ceremony quickly!" Magistrate Guan motioned for them to stand still before they could kneel down.
"Miss Sun, why did you come to me today? Have you encountered any injustice recently? Just tell me and I will make the decision for you!" Guan Dingzhong asked Zhuqing with concern.
So Zhuqing told him everything that happened before and today. Then he said to him: "If the Pang family came to ask for marriage in a serious manner, with their family's wealth and power, my parents might not dare to refuse.
. But they did this in such a way that they neither took my parents seriously nor respected me, so no matter what, I couldn’t agree to this marriage!"
Guan Dingzhong didn't expect that Pang Xiancheng would do such a thing behind his back. He couldn't help but laughed in anger.
"Isn't Pang County Cheng making a fool of himself? Who gives him such a big face? Doesn't he know that when the Zhou family came to propose marriage to your family, you rejected them? Is the Pang family's wealth even greater than that of the Zhou family? It's really slippery.
What a joke in the world!" After hearing Zhuqing's words, Guan Dingzhong couldn't help but sneer.
"Miss Sun, I know you are a child with integrity. I support your withdrawal from this marriage! This marriage is originally a good marriage between two people. How can anyone buy and sell by force like them? Don't worry, I will do it right away.
I called Prime Minister Pang and told him not to continue his nonsense!"
Regarding the county magistrate's words, Zhu Qing felt as if he had taken a reassurance.
"Thank you, Lord Guan!" Zhu Qing thanked him with sincerity this time.
"It's nothing worth mentioning! Girl, don't worry! The chilblain ointment you promoted in our county this year is very effective. It is said that some people in Linjun have bought it, and many people want to buy it too! If this chilblain ointment is
If you can promote it more widely, girl, your good deeds will be great!" Guan Dingzhong is indeed a sharp-eyed person.
Although chilblain ointment is just a small thing, he has already seen the advantageous side of it.
"This little girl can promote chilblain ointment, and it is inseparable from your support, the county magistrate!" Zhu Qing was reborn, so he naturally heard that there was something in his words, so he immediately accepted it smoothly.
Guan Dingzhong was even more happy when he heard that the little girl was so knowledgeable.
"Girl, you are indeed extremely smart. Don't worry, after this winter, I will definitely report the chilblain ointment to the court. Then there will be another dignity waiting for you!" Zhu Qing was stunned by Guan Dingzhong's words.
Stunned.
She didn't expect such a good thing to happen. It seems that sometimes blessings and misfortunes really depend on it, and misfortunes and blessings depend on it. If the Pang family hadn't acted so recklessly, she wouldn't have been able to talk about herself with the county boss again.
business history.
Guan Dingzhong is very interested in and very supportive of the chilblain ointment plan promoted by Zhuqing this year.
The Pang family's affairs were not a big deal in his eyes. Now, what was a big deal in his eyes was what Zhuqing told him about his plans for next year.
"Girl, if you want to promote the planting of mint seedlings, you can do it, but the court has rules and you can't use it for farming. I can grant you some wasteland in the corners. If you can make good use of it, you can plant mint seedlings at the same time.
, leading the fellow villagers to get rich together, that can be considered a credit to you!" Guan Dingzhong was determined to make his achievements during his tenure more beautiful, so he became more and more polite to Zhu Qing.
