"They are testing your bottom line step by step. If you can even accept these, then it would be great if it works out. If not, they will introduce you to better ones, and you will feel like you have found a great bargain."

"Besides, the families they mentioned earlier have probably received money. If this marriage can be successful, we can get at least a few hundred taels of silver." Matchmaker Fang said in a low voice.

Lin's mother finally understood that she was also confused by the situation. If she encountered such a situation in business again, she would react quickly, but this was her son's lifelong event after all.

Mother Lin took Matchmaker Fang's hand and said, "Fortunately, it was you I invited."

Matchmaker Fang said nothing, but nodded at her with a smile on her face.

Mingyue listened to this and seemed to be lost in thought.

"Sister Fang, I think Miss Meng, Miss Luo, and Miss Zhan are all good. What do you think?" Mother Lin simply called her sister, which showed that she was still frightened and grateful to the matchmaker.

"I also like these three. No matter in terms of status, talent or age, they are the most suitable for the eldest son." Matchmaker Fang agreed.

"This booklet records the true situation, but there are also some rumors. I have to tell you the truth first." Matchmaker Fang took out the information of these three people from the booklet and spread it on the table.

"Miss Meng, there's not much else to say, except that Mr. Meng is a peasant who passed the imperial examination and grew up eating at many people's houses. Their relatives are quite... greedy. They often come to ask for this and that, whether it's to build a school for the clan or to find official positions for their fellow villagers."

When Mingyue heard this beginning, she had a premonition, and it turned out to be just as she expected.

"I've inquired, and these people haven't done his family any great favors. A few families have only given him food. It's just that Lord Meng is kind-hearted, or perhaps indecisive, and he gave many people money or a way out, so the others caught wind of it and came."

"Lord Meng was too embarrassed to refuse, so his entire family had to bear the brunt of the burden. His wife was also troubled by this and had tried to divorce him several times, but it was to no avail."

"Apart from this incident, the Meng family is still a good family. The parents are loving and affectionate, and the children are also very capable. Miss Meng's eldest brother is a juren." After saying this, matchmaker Fang drank a whole cup of tea elegantly before she recovered.

After hearing this, Lin's mother felt angry and regretful.

This girl is quite good. It's a pity that she will miss out on many good marriage opportunities because of this. Lord Meng is the same. He cares too much about his reputation and can't afford to lose it, allowing others to take advantage of him. He is really a pushover.

She silently pushed Miss Meng's information back.

Matchmaker Fang accepted it calmly and introduced the second person, Miss Luo.

Ming Yueguang looked at the information and felt that Miss Luo should be the best among them. However, she didn't know why such a good girl was still unmarried at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

It turned out that Miss Luo had been previously broken off from an engagement with her mother's cousin, a childhood sweetheart. It was clearly because the cousin had a mistress and was caught in bed with Miss Luo, but her mother's family had turned the tables on her, accusing her of misbehavior and thus breaking off the engagement.

Many ladies are relatively wary of having childhood sweethearts, fearing that such girls may become unclean and they will become the laughing stock of the whole capital.

Fortunately, her mother was a strong-willed person. She domineeringly severed ties with her natal family, whose current status and position were far inferior to her husband's family. She even signed a document with the government and spread the matter with great fanfare, especially the fact that the man had a mistress and turned the blame on her.

It is worth mentioning that Mrs. Luo’s family originally thought that they would at most turn a blind eye to this matter, but who knew that the matter would become so serious. They originally depended on the Luo family for survival, and they really overestimated their status.

Miss Luo's father and grandmother did not think that this incident brought shame to the family. Instead, they supported their daughter everywhere.

"So, apart from the breakup of the engagement, there's nothing else to do with this Miss Luo." Matchmaker Fang finished her words and looked up at Mother Lin's expression. She was most optimistic about Miss Luo, but she was worried that Mother Lin would mind this, so she was a little uncertain.

Unexpectedly, Lin's mother slammed the table and said, "How can there be such a bastard? This girl is not bad, and her family is not bad! I won't even look at the others after this. This is her."

Mingyue also nodded, "If you hesitate, you will fail! Aunt Lin, I support you!"

Matchmaker Fang smiled reassuringly and pinched Mingyue's face. "Madam Lin, your daughter always says some strange yet quite reasonable things."

Father Lin, who was standing behind the screen, nodded vigorously and whispered, "Well done! Such a strong in-law protecting his son is quite courageous. I like it!"

Mingyue listened to Lin's mother and matchmaker Fang talking about the relevant procedures for a long time, and her head was about to explode. She just wanted to go and see what Miss Luo looked like.

Fortunately, they ended their relationship quickly. Before Fang the matchmaker left, Lin's mother saw her off to the door and said, "Sister Fang, I'll be waiting for your good news~"

Matchmaker Fang smiled and bowed at her, then left.

Mother Lin acted as if she had accomplished something important, and she hugged Mingyue and kissed her passionately.

Mingyue: I am not alone at this moment, I am a venting kitten.

"Xiao Mingyue, what do you think? I just saw you looking at the introduction of Miss Luo for a long time before choosing her." It turned out that Lin's mother didn't pay much attention to this person at the beginning.

Mingyue didn't know why, but she acted mature and stroked her non-existent beard. "I think it's a good match. It's just that when I saw this sister's name, I subconsciously felt that she should be paired with Brother Lin."

Merchant families like Lin's mother's have always been the most superstitious. They believe that children have the purest eyes, the cleanest hearts, and the best intuition, not to mention her little lucky star Mingyue!

He kissed Mingyue's cheek so hard that when Lin's father saw the lip marks all over Mingyue's face, he almost wanted to report her to the police.

So the marriage was temporarily settled, and we just had to wait for the matchmaker to go to Luo's house to inquire about the news.

Lin's mother begged Mingyue to come and check if they had the chance to meet next time. Mingyue returned to the palace very satisfied. She was so happy all the way that she looked beaming. She thought it was her son getting married.
