Before Xia Wanniang opened her mouth to speak, she heard shouting outside the courtyard gate. She turned to look at Aunt Xiao and said, "Mother, it seems we can ask Lord Xu now."

Matchmaker Liu looked at them in confusion, not knowing what she meant by this: "Is this Mr. Xu the new county magistrate?"

Aunt Xiao smiled and nodded: "Yes. He has some connection with our family, so we can be considered acquaintances. It just so happens that you came today, otherwise we would have planned to look for you in the next two days."

Just as Matchmaker Liu was about to speak, she saw the two people outside coming in.

Xiao Chiye looked at Xu Li beside him with disdain: "You are a lonely man, why do you need a New Year gift?"

Xu Li pointed at Yifeng beside him and said, "There is another one here. Who said I am alone?"

Yifeng now just wants to be a background board and does not want to get involved in the confrontation between the two masters.

When the three children saw Xu Li coming, they ran out of the main room, greeted him, and then sat in the yard with their wood carving tools to learn how to carve.

When Liu the matchmaker saw Xu Li coming, she stood up and saluted him: "Mr. County Magistrate."

Xu Li didn't know her, so he stopped smiling and said more seriously, "Yeah."

When Aunt Xiao saw Xu Li, she was also helpless: "Ali, this is the matchmaker Liu I told you about before."

Xu Li looked at Matchmaker Liu and walked over to sit next to Aunt Xiao. "It just so happens that I came here today for those women. Since Matchmaker Liu is here, let's talk about this."

Xiao Chiye bowed to Matchmaker Liu and said, "Aunt Liu, how come you have time to come here today?"

Matchmaker Liu looked at him and smiled: "I just happened to come here to be a matchmaker, so I came to see you guys."

Xu Li quickly asked the two to sit down: "Let's talk business first."

Xiao Chiye sat next to Xia Wanniang: "Why did you get up so suddenly?"

Xia Wanniang glanced at him and said, "You still want me to lie down all the time."

Xiao Chiye's eyes were full of smiles. He turned around and met the glare thrown at him by Xu Li. He raised his eyebrows and looked at him: If you are not convinced, marry one yourself.

Xu Li was so angry that his teeth were itching: You bastard, do you really think I can’t get a wife?

Xia Wanniang looked at the two of them with eyes that were about to spark: "Let's talk business."

Xu Li then turned his head and snorted, not looking at him: "Matchmaker Liu, I see there are some girls here who need you to be their matchmaker."

When Matchmaker Liu heard this, she sat up straight immediately and said, "I wonder who you want to be a matchmaker for, sir."

Xu Li explained the whole story and then looked at Liu the matchmaker. This matter was not as easy as he had imagined.

After listening to this, Matchmaker Liu first sighed, then frowned. It was not an easy task to find suitable families for so many girls.

At this time, Aunt Xiao made her own suggestion: "It is difficult for ordinary people to accept such a woman, but deception is feasible."

Matchmaker Liu looked at her and shook her head: "You can hide it for a while, but not forever. If your future husband's family finds out, I'm afraid your life will be even more difficult."

Xia Wanniang looked at Xiao Chiye and saw him nod, so she said, "Aunt Liu, what if I marry a soldier who has just returned from the army?"

Matchmaker Liu was slightly stunned and looked up at Xia Wanniang: This girl seems to be less silly after coming to the Xiao family.

She frowned and was silent for a moment: "I'm just afraid that these women will not be willing. After all, these soldiers are more or less disabled, and their family conditions are probably not very good."

Xiao Chiye touched Xu Li's arm with his hand: "Did you ask?"

Xu Li got angry when he talked about this: "I asked them, and they knew that selling their daughters to the building would inevitably affect the marriages of other children in the family, so they agreed to let them marry anyone they wanted, but they didn't give them dowries."

Aunt Xiao's face turned pale when she heard this: "Why are these people like this?"

Xu Li was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he talked about this: "That's right, no matter what, they have already brought shame to the family, it is impossible to give them dowries."

Matchmaker Liu was speechless after hearing this: "Does everyone say that?"

Xu Li looked at Matchmaker Liu and thought for a while: "Not all people say that. There are some families with more affluent backgrounds who were already engaged, but now this kind of thing happened and the marriage is also cancelled."

"But their parents still love their children and said they are willing to let them marry with dowries, but they just hope to find a good family for them."
