"Study? Do you have money?"

Liu Dahua had a polite smile on her face, but now she put it away: "We have saved enough."

"That doesn't matter. Can you get married first and then start a career?" said Matchmaker Wang.

"That won't work. He studies every day, so how can he have time to take care of the family? Besides, he will be easily distracted. Let's wait and see about the marriage."

"If it really doesn't work, we can get engaged first, is that okay?"

"Aunt Wang, my eldest son is only 18 years old. To be frank, there is no rush. I still want him to focus on studying."

After being rejected again and again, matchmaker Wang also turned cold: "Madam Liu, you have to think it over. Although the girl's appearance is not good, she is well-off. It is an honor for your family to be favored by you. If you miss this marriage, you will never find such a match again. I know all the boys and girls in the villages. I admit that your children are all good-looking, and some people like them just for their looks, but their parents don't agree. The reason is very simple, that is, your family is too poor, and they don't want their daughters to suffer when they marry here."

Liu Dahua could tell from what Wang the matchmaker meant that she looked down on her family: "My family is poor, but we can't just arrange a marriage for our child just for money."

"You... why don't you make sense?" Matchmaker Wang rolled her eyes at Liu Dahua. "Humph, you guys are already living on this meal and you're still pretending to be noble. What about your second and third sons? Their dowries are enough for you to arrange marriages for them. Don't you think about them?"

Liu Dahua didn't want to talk to her anymore, but she couldn't offend her too much. Just when she was in trouble, Shen Han walked out of the house.

"My mother has made it very clear. I just want to study now. There is no need to talk about marriage."

"You are a scholar, but why are you so rude? I think your family doesn't know how to appreciate your kindness." Matchmaker Wang said with a changed face.

Shen Han's face turned red, but he didn't say anything. He was trapped by the word "scholar" and couldn't let go and say something unpleasant.

When Shen Li heard these words, she couldn't help but want to confront the matchmaker, but Shen Xing kept stopping her. Now she really couldn't bear it anymore, but she didn't expect him to go out before her.

"Our family is poor, but we didn't ask you to come and propose marriage." Shen Xing said.

Shen Li followed him and when he came out, he closed the door tightly.

"Do you think I want to come? If it wasn't for the girl from the Ma family asking me to come, I wouldn't have come. Do you know how much money you gave me for this trip? Two taels of silver. I came because of the money. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come even if your family invited me." Matchmaker Wang said with her eyes rolled up.

"Aunt, even if you are a matchmaker, you should also be the one who helps bring them together, right? The girl from the Ma family has such a big black mark on her face, it's scary to look at. Do you want my eldest brother to have to face such a face for the rest of his life? Her family is so well-off, why doesn't your son marry her?" Shen Li's words were impolite, but there was no need to be polite to such a person.

"Hey, little girl, you're quite good at talking. With your family's situation, are you still qualified to pick on appearance?"

"So what? My family doesn't have much money now, but we'll have more money later. Will Miss Ma become prettier in the future?"

"You... okay, I'll just wait and see when your family can become rich. By that time, all of you will be single, so don't come to beg me." After saying that, Matchmaker Wang glared at Shen Li, swung her handkerchief and walked out of the yard.

The Shen family members exchanged glances with each other and then laughed.

After laughing, Liu Dahua felt a little melancholy: "If you offend this matchmaker Wang, your marriage will be difficult in the future."

Shen Li pulled Liu Dahua's sleeve and shook it twice: "Mother, there will always be a way out when the car reaches the mountain, why think so much, and marriage is destined by heaven, and it is not something that a matchmaker like me can change."

Shen Han agreed: "Ali is right, don't worry, just let it go."

Shen Liang and Shen Xing both nodded.

The Ma family was indeed considered a wealthy family in the village, because they had a lot of land and relatives in the county who would always buy things and send them when they were free. With this supplement, they naturally lived a good life. And their house was one of the few brick houses.

But his eldest daughter has had a birthmark on her face since she was born. The birthmark spreads over the entire left side of her face and cannot be covered. Because of this, she has a low self-esteem and is sensitive, and her mood seems changeable. Living with such a person for a lifetime would be very tiring, even if you don't care about appearance.

Shen Li would never let Shen Han marry such a person.

She then continued to distill the essential oils, and it took her a day to distill all the flowers.

In the evening, Liu Dahua gave Shen Li two handkerchiefs. They were made of white cotton and had three green grasses embroidered in the corner.

"Mom, look at you. You don't even use a handkerchief. When you were little, you didn't need it. Now that you're grown up, you should be more particular and act like a girl."

Shen Li felt a little uncomfortable, but there was no facial tissue here, and sometimes a handkerchief was indeed needed: "Mom, thank you, I like it very much."

"Just like it, but remember to use it. Don't always wipe your mouth with your hands or sleeves. That's rude."

"I will definitely use it if I remember it." Shen Li waved the handkerchief in his hand.

Liu Dahua shook her head helplessly.

The next day, Shen Xing filtered the beeswax, and Shen Li mixed the filtered beeswax directly with tea oil and jasmine essential oil, and finally Shen Liang packed it into boxes.

Shen Xing also helped to pack some. Although he did not have the same quantity standards as Shen Liang, he was more steady and it was not bad, much better than what Shen Li packed.

By the time all the ointments were packed, it was already afternoon.

A total of 202 boxes of ointment were produced this time, and the cost of various materials cost nearly 40 taels.

This time we could sell fifty boxes a day, and they were sold out in four days.

On the first day, there were still three siblings. Shen Li was watching the stall, and the two brothers were handing out flyers.

At the beginning, almost no one came to buy. Shen Li waited there, feeling a little uneasy. Was it because it hadn't been sold for too long? Did everyone forget about it? Or was the ointment still not well known?

There was no choice but to sit on the ground and wait for people to come. Now that they had come, the goods must be sold out.

Just when Shen Li was feeling a little discouraged, he saw a lot of people appear at the intersection. Roughly estimated, there were about 20 to 30 people.

Soon, she was surrounded by these people, and all fifty boxes of ointment were snatched away.

People continued to arrive, but Shen Li could only apologize and ask them to come again tomorrow.

At this time, the two brothers had returned, packed up the stall, and the three of them went home.

The next day, when Shen left, there were already quite a few people waiting there. As expected, the fifty boxes were sold out in an instant.

It seems that the reputation of the ointment has become enough to eliminate the need for handing out flyers. Its function now seems to be no longer to promote the product, but to tell people that the ointment is on sale again.
