After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious
Chapter 180 Rich Relatives
"Master Shen, you have to think carefully. If you miss such a good marriage, you may never have it again in this life.
Besides, your daughter is the only one that Master Lu has taken a fancy to in all these years, and Mr. Lu is very happy, so he spread the news throughout Wenzhu County.
Shen Rou frowned and burst into tears: "Why is the Lu family like this? Their character is so low."
He deliberately cut off other people's retreat before they even agreed. There is really no good person in the Lu family.
Shen Jizu was silent. Even though he knew that what the matchmaker said was not nice, he was still attracted by the wealth of the Lu family.
Anyway, Shen Rou has a bad reputation, and reputation cannot be eaten, but if she marries Lu, she can eat and drink well.
"You can't say that. In our line of work, Miss Shen is not young anymore. The Lu family just said they like you, but they didn't say anything else.
Whether this matter succeeds or not has no impact on a matchmaker. I have also tasted the tea from Mr. Lu. At most, I have made two wasted trips.
But today, even if I say a few more words with all my heart, Mr. Shen, please don’t be angry. After all, I have seen a lot of these things. "
Shen Jizu understood and let the matchmaker continue.
“The Lu family is determined to marry your daughter, otherwise they wouldn’t have let everyone in Wenzhu County know.
It is true that the Lu family is wealthy, but if you reject this marriage proposal, no good family in Wenzhu County will come to your house to propose marriage in the future.
Although reputation is an empty thing, it can also affect a person's destiny, right!
If you miss the Lu family, I can guarantee that your daughter will never meet such a good family again.
Mr. Shen, think about it, if you pick and choose from those ugly people in the future, won’t you still be ugly people in the end?
You can wait, but your daughter can’t wait any longer, she’s already 20 years old.”
Seeing that no one was talking, the matchmaker paused for a moment and then continued.
"Master Shen, this is just one of the drawbacks. The Lu family is a wealthy and powerful family, and they care about their reputation the most.
Now everyone in Wenzhu County knows that their family wanted to marry your daughter, but you refused. Where is their family's face?
The Lu family has nothing but some money. If your Shen Rou marries someone else in the future, can you guarantee that they won't make things difficult for her husband's family?
Can you guarantee that your Shen Rou can marry into a family more noble than the Lu family? The bigger the family, the more they care about face and reputation.
As for Mr. Shen's official career, you still have to take the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official in the future. Even if you are full of talent, if the Lu family spends some money, can you still take the exam?
A little money is nothing to the Lu family, but your official career is about your whole life.
Which is more important? Has Master Shen ever thought about the seriousness of this matter? "
These words scared Shen Jizu and his mother. How could refusing a marriage bring about a catastrophe?
"Ji Zu, your career is the life's work of our family and must not be ruined. I agree with Shen Rou on this matter. Let's make it a deal.
If you don’t listen to me, I won’t live anymore. Anyway, I’m old, and you all want to see me die, right? I have a miserable life…”
Mother Shen used her signature skills again: crying, making a fuss, and then threatening to hang herself.
However, this is exactly what Shen Jizu wants.
"Mom, we all want you to be well, how could we possibly want you to die?"
"I don't care. If this marriage doesn't happen, I'll die in front of you."
Shen Rou burst into tears. She had to admit that the matchmaker's words made some sense, but she was unwilling to marry Lu Cailiang.
"Mother...I..."
Mrs. Xu was so heartbroken that she burst into tears. She only had Shen Rou as her daughter and she had given all her love to her since she was a child. Of course, she hoped that she could marry into a good family.
"Rou'er, Master Lu is determined to marry you, so he must have a crush on you. As long as you control your temper and fall in love with him over time, your parents will be relieved."
What Xu said almost meant that she agreed.
Compared with Shen Rou, she finally chose Shen Jizu.
Shen Jizu walked up to Shen Rou with a look of heartache on his face, but his words were disgusting.
"Rou'er, Dad is a scholar, and your grandmother is my biological mother. I'm not Shen Dali, so I can't do anything unfilial.
If you don't marry Lu Cailiang, and anything happens to your grandmother, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
As he said this, he patted Shen Rou's shoulder and said, "When dad passes the imperial examination and becomes a high-ranking official, the Lu family won't dare to do anything to you.
You are destined to be rich and prosperous in this life, just wait for the day when your father reaches the top."
Shen Rou looked up at the family, a disappointed sneer on her lips.
"Excuses! You've never considered me in your heart. I hate you. I hate you so much..."
Shen Rou ran back to her room crying loudly, and this scene was seen by everyone in the village.
In the end, under the matchmaker's persuasion, Shen Jizu's family agreed to the marriage.
Neither family seemed to care much about ceremonies or anything like that. Both wanted to get married quickly and even had the wedding date set for five days later.
Shen Qingzhou took Shen Wanyi to the old house to move some small things that had not been moved yet.
He had a clear view of the situation here.
When matchmaker Jin left, she also left the betrothal gifts behind. Now everyone in the village knows that the Shen family agreed to this marriage.
It has come to this point. Shen Qingzhou had already thought of this situation. The dust has settled and it cannot be changed.
When Lin Ting and others returned to the village at noon, they heard the news. Except for Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu who were surprised, Lin Ting was not surprised at all.
Shen Qingzhou did this matter perfectly. If she hadn't been fooled by it before, she would never have discovered that it was him who did it.
The villagers are simple and honest, so they would not think of him as such.
At noon, Lin Ting and Yang Xiuxiu cooked a meal together.
After they finished eating, Yang Yongnian and Pan were about to go back.
Lin Ting had a carriage, so he used it to send them back. Yang Xiuxiu also gave Yang Yongnian a lot of rice to take back.
There was also a chicken. Lin Ting had bought some cloth for making clothes before, and she also took the carriage and gave these to Shen Qingzhou's grandmother.
Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu were still busy with their work at the farm, so they would not go with them this time.
I will visit my mother next time when I am free.
Seeing Shen Qingzhou coming closer, Lin Ting thought he must want to see his grandmother too.
"Shen Qingzhou, there's still room in the car. Do you want to come with us?"
He nodded! Turning around, he took four or five packages of Chayulou cakes and helped him into the carriage.
Along the way, Shen Qingzhou gave Lin Ting directions according to his memory until the carriage arrived at Longjing Village.
There is not much difference between Longjing Village and Wushan Village. Both are built on the mountain. Yang Yongnian asked Lin Ting to drive the carriage to their yard, where there is more space.
Lin Ting looked at the villagers around her, and the villagers were also looking at their carriage with scrutiny.
It's rare for a carriage to come into the village, and I don't know whose wealthy relative this is.
