A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

Chapter 161 The matchmaker comes to visit

The two little guys who were still in the room looked at each other with horror in their eyes. What else did their parents say?

Their big sister was going to be snatched away by someone? They had to spend more time studying every day? Dad asked them to take the top imperial examination? The teacher said that he was a scholar. The teacher said that Ningzhou Prefecture had not produced a top imperial examination for decades. So, this was a task they could accomplish? Was his father crazy?

They need to study longer in the future. They are only 4 years old, still babies! Parents can’t abuse them like this!

How will you spend your days in the future?

"It's killing me!"

Lin Fuchen sighed.

"Get lost, what are you talking about? What nonsense are you saying in front of your father!"

Lin Dashan was filled with anger and was worried that he had no outlet to vent it.

"I heard you went to the river again today, right? Go out and stand at the door for an hour."

Lin Fuchen's face wrinkled into a bun and he got out of bed reluctantly.

Lin Fujin closed his mouth tightly. His parents were in a bad mood, so he had to be quiet so that he would not be punished like his younger brother.

My daughter has always been a person with strong ideas. Since she is willing, this is the only way to do it.

"I will ask someone to reply to the Marquis in a couple of days."

There was no need to be in a hurry to make it seem like they were rushing to marry into his family. He had a clear conscience when he refused before, but now his face was hurting.

"Xiaomi still has two years until she reaches marriageable age. If we decide to get married later, she can still stay at home for a few more years."

My daughter has grown up and I can’t keep her anymore.

Lin Xiaomi couldn't sleep either. She had been single for decades, and when she thought about getting married in the future and having an extra pillow next to her, she felt confused and at a loss as to what to do.

But it is impossible not to get married. Life was difficult for women in ancient times, and it was even harder for single women.

Xiao Ran was unhappy when he knew that the Lin family did not agree to the marriage. He was tall and handsome, so how could he make them unhappy?

"Or, let's go find a family in the capital city that we know well and that is virtuous and generous."

"I don't want it. All those women are the same. They are so boring."

萧振气得想揍人,不省心的王八蛋,有本事自己去说呀。被人拒绝的滋味他以为好受?想到过几天若是林家不愿,他还得舔着脸在求一次,就想把面前的混账塞回去回炉重造。娶个媳妇挑三拣四,把他能的。

The Marquis's wife tried to comfort him, but she was not satisfied either. It was not that they were snobbish, the difference was obvious. His son was going to inherit the Marquis's mansion, but could that girl do it? She looked very smart and capable, so she would marry her and train her slowly.

Two days later, Lin Dashan went to the city in person and had a deep talk with the Marquis. His family was not selling their daughter, and they tried to be equal with the Marquis. He did not seek any betrothal money, and prepared as much dowry as possible, just hoping that the Xiao family would treat his daughter well in the future.

Xiao Zhen was quite touched. It was rare for a father to do this for his child. Fatherly love is like a mountain, nothing more than this. Most importantly, he didn't have to propose marriage again. He also liked Lin Dashan a lot better.

"Brother Lin, rest assured. Since I intend to become your in-law, I will definitely treat Xiaomi well. Our family does not have the habit of torturing our daughters-in-law. They can just live their own lives in the future."

With Xiao Zhen's words, Lin Dashan felt half at ease.

When I get home, I must encourage my two sons well.

The marriage between the two families was settled. Soon, the Xiao family would send a matchmaker to propose marriage, and Lin Dashan would just have to wait in the manor.

After returning home, he lived the same life as before. He didn't dare to say anything until the matchmaker came and the wedding invitation was changed. What if the matter fell through? How would Xiaomi live his life?

The Xiao family was also a straightforward family. They said that the day after tomorrow was a good day and they would invite a matchmaker to come. Two days later, the Lin family waited for the matchmaker, who was dressed in a bright red dress and looked extremely festive.

Seeing the matchmaker coming to her house, Lin Xiaomi "shyly" avoided her.

"Congratulations, congratulations, Mr. Lin, Madam Lin! I congratulate you!" The matchmaker smiled and flattered in a long tone. This is a marriage for the Marquis. It is such a blessing that this matter falls on her, and she must do it properly.

"Why are you so happy?"

Lin Dashan pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth.

Wang also looked at the matchmaker quietly. The training she had received over the years had made her not at all shy in front of the matchmaker.

The matchmaker smiled and looked at Wang and Lin Dashan, not understanding why the Marquisate would be interested in this family. She thought they were just ordinary wealthy families, nothing special. Could it be that their daughter was extremely beautiful?

"What a joy! Master Lin, Madam Lin, I have long heard that your daughter is beautiful and intelligent, talented and virtuous. Now, before she even reaches the age of 15, she has caught the eye of the Marquisate, who likes her very much. Now..." At this point, the matchmaker smiled at the couple sitting in the upper seats, "Let me propose to you, to marry your daughter. Master Lin, Madam Lin, this is a marriage that is hard to find even with a lantern..."

The matchmaker's mouth opened and closed, making Lin Dashan's forehead buzz. Wang was also full of admiration. If she had such a powerful mouth, she would be able to argue with Madam Xiaohou if her daughter was bullied in the future.

In order to avoid losing in future arguments, Wang listened very carefully.

The matchmaker's mouth was dry from talking, and seeing that the two had no reaction at all, she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. In the past, when proposing marriage, every family would worship her and hope that she would say more good things and praise them. Why is it here...

How can she perform a one-man show by herself?

"Mrs. Lin?"
