After her fate was taken away, she was favored by her five brothers.
Chapter 52 The matchmaker comes to visit
Yun Fu remembered that his elder brother Yun Zhiqian never married in his life and hated women very much.
In her previous life, she had sent a letter to Yun Zhiqian wanting to discuss cooperation, but when he heard that the other party was a woman, he refused without a second thought.
Yun Fu glanced at her elder brother. She didn't know what kind of trauma he had experienced in his previous life, but with her around in this life, her elder brother would not have any worries anymore.
Yun Zhiqian also heard the conversation in the room and understood what was going on. When he thought about matters between men and women, his face suddenly turned red to his ears.
But thinking about the Yun family's current predicament, he knew that his mind should not be focused on his children's personal affairs.
He is only seventeen years old, it is too early for him to get married.
Hearing Yun Fu's words, he rolled his eyes at her lovingly: "You are so disrespectful that even your brother makes fun of you."
Yun Fu had never seen her brother like this before. She thought it was so cute that she covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
Seeing his sister like this, Yun Zhiqian's face turned even redder.
This sister can neither be hit nor scolded, and there is really nothing I can do about her.
Inside the house, Liu was entertaining two matchmakers. They had been there for an incense stick of time.
One of the matchmakers was invited by Aunt Zhao to matchmake for Yingzi in her daughter's family.
The other one was invited by Aunt Zhou to act as a matchmaker for her daughter Xiaoyu.
Yingzi and Xiaoyu had both met Yun Zhiqian. They heard from their mother that the Yun family was related to the Xie family, and that Yun Zhiqian was handsome and well-educated, making him a good candidate for son-in-law.
Yingzi and Xiaoyu had also heard that the five men in the Yun family were all scholars, and they were a little curious about Yun Zhiqian, so they walked past the door of the Yun family from time to time, just to meet Yun Zhiqian.
But when she really saw Yun Zhiqian walking by, Yingzi didn't dare to go up and talk to him. Xiaoyu winked at Yun Zhiqian, but Yun Zhiqian didn't even look at her.
So they went home shyly and pestered their mother to invite a matchmaker.
These two matchmakers are both famous matchmakers in the surrounding villages of Shiqiao Town. One of them is Mrs. Li, and she has done so many matchmakings that it is hard to count.
And Wang Po is even more powerful. Although she doesn't make as many matchmakers as Li Po, 99% of the time she can succeed as long as she acts as a matchmaker.
Liu said, "My Qian'er is still young, so I'd like to wait two years before bothering you two sisters-in-law."
The two matchmakers had already learned about the Yun family's situation before they came. Although the family was poor, the couple in the Yun family were very strange. It was very difficult for other families to support one or two scholars, but although the Yun family was poor, they still sent all five sons to school to learn to read.
Fortunately, Yun Zhiqian is good-looking and can study, otherwise they would not even bother to talk to him.
When they arrived at the Yun family and saw the conspicuous five adobe houses, they secretly said in their hearts that they were indeed poor.
If the cost of two years' repairs had been saved, this large brick and tile house would have been built long ago, and it would be the best house in the village.
Grandma Li said, "Big sister, your eldest son is already seventeen years old, I think it's time to get married, so that it won't delay the younger brothers."
Grandma Wang agreed, "Yes, yes, Xiaoyu is as pretty as a flower, and one of the most beautiful girls in Xiling Village. You should have seen her, and she is definitely a perfect match for your eldest son."
Liu smiled. She had indeed seen and heard of Xiaoyu.
Recently, Cheng always came home to chat with her when she had nothing to do, and she talked a lot about the things in the village, such as which young girls and young wives, and which old ladies were doing this and that.
Xiaoyu is the number one person Cheng mentioned. Because she is pretty, she dreams every day of marrying into a wealthy family in the town or marrying a scholar.
Cheng's original words were: "There are a few little girls in our Xiling Village who dress up coquettishly all day long. When they have nothing to do, they stroll to the town and try to find a good family to marry into. Then they can live a life of luxury and never be trapped in this poor village again."
Among those little rascals, Xiaoyu is the number one.
How could she let such a person enter her Yun family?
Qian'er is seventeen years old now, so it's time to consider his marriage. He is the eldest son, so he must find a wife who is thrifty and a decent woman to accommodate his younger brothers and sisters.
Besides, her family's situation is special. If she were to find a troublemaker who causes trouble all day long, that wouldn't work.
Before Liu spoke, Li Po said, "Xiaoyu is not as good as Yingzi. Yingzi is diligent and clean, and is good at everything. A girl like this is the best candidate for a daughter-in-law for us farmers."
Wang Po refused to fall behind: "You are wrong. Master Yun is a scholar, not an ordinary farmer. He will take the imperial examination in the future. If he passes the imperial examination, can an ordinary peasant woman still be worthy of him?"
"Besides, as the saying goes, 'There are beautiful women in books', doesn't it mean that scholars love beauties? Xiaoyu is just the right girl for the job."
Li Po said: "You can't say that. If a scholar doesn't have a virtuous wife to support him at home, how can he study with peace of mind?"
"If I were to go looking for that beauty, I'm afraid my soul would be seduced away by that little devil, and I wouldn't have the heart to think about fame.
Besides, although Yingzi doesn’t look as good as Xiaoyu, that’s because she hasn’t dressed up. She’s pretty good looking, and she can be no worse than Xiaoyu if she dresses up.”
Wang Po said: "Although Xiaoyu is pretty, she can also be a good wife. She is good at sewing..."
……
The argument between the two was very noisy, and Liu felt a headache listening to it, but she didn't want to offend them. If her family really stayed in Shiqiao Town for a long time, she would have to ask them to find matchmaking for her sons.
But comparing Xiaoyu and Yingzi, Liu still prefers Yingzi.
Although Yingzi is not as good-looking as Xiaoyu, she is hardworking and capable, and she is honest and kind by nature.
As for other things, once she gets married, as long as she is the mother-in-law, she can teach them everything.
But when it comes to her children's marriage, she still has to ask Qian'er first.
When she and Qingge got married, they were attracted to each other and they have been loving each other for many years.
Thinking of this, Liu smiled and said, "My two sisters-in-law, please go back first. I will discuss this with Qian'er when he comes back."
The two matchmakers were not willing to leave so easily. They were asked to do so by someone else. The family said that if the marriage was successful, they would give them a big red envelope.
What's more, these two matchmakers were already competing with each other and neither of them was willing to give in.
Seeing that the two matchmakers were reluctant to leave, Liu said, "I think Yingzi is pretty good. I can let Qianer meet her in the future. If the two children are destined to be together, I have no objection. Whether it will be successful or not depends on the fate of the children."
Upon hearing this, Granny Li immediately showed off her neat white teeth and smiled brightly: "Sister Liu is really good at judging people!"
She glanced at Wang Po, her eyes full of pride.
Look! You lost to me again in matchmaking this time.
Wang Po wanted to persuade Liu to change her mind, and she said a lot of good things about Xiaoyu, but Liu just sat there with no expression on her face. This made Wang Po anxious. How come she had been persuading Liu for a long time, but she still didn't express her opinion?
Wang Po was so thirsty from talking that she picked up the tea on the table and gulped it down.
Liu took a long while to reply, "My family is poor, and we usually eat coarse grains, steamed bread, and wild vegetable porridge to fill our stomachs. Is Xiaoyu willing to do that?"
