Transmigrated into a corrupt female county magistrate, defied fate and changed her life in a deserte
Chapter 237 Already has a confidant
The huge courtyard seemed like a market in an instant because of the matchmakers' eloquent speeches.
Seeing the matchmakers' increasingly powerful postures and louder voices, Song Jinshu's head began to buzz.
She shouted, "Be quiet! Speak one by one!"
If you keep making so much noise, the roof will explode.
She pointed at the matchmaker and said, "You speak first!"
The matchmaker immediately smiled coquettishly, feeling that she had seized the initiative. After greeting respectfully, she slowly told him her purpose.
"The Qin family is the wealthiest merchant family in Shun'an Prefecture, and Young Master Qin is a handsome and elegant young man. We invited this woman here to ask for his hand in marriage. The Qin family said that as long as you are willing to accept Young Master Qin, they will let him choose a date to marry in the palace..."
"After you get married, you can visit your family during the holidays. The only condition is that I hope Young Master Qin can find a position in your government office so that he can help you relieve your worries on weekdays."
Song Jinshu's face was expressionless, not even a trace of emotion could be seen. The matchmaker felt unsure, but she still finished her story.
"Are you finished?"
The matchmaker nodded.
"Are you thirsty? Sit aside and wait for your tea."
Song Jinshu said calmly, then raised his eyebrows slightly and pointed to the next matchmaker: "You speak."
"I'm working for the Su family next door..."
"..."
As the matchmakers finished stating their purpose one by one, they sat in a neat row and waited quietly, enjoying the passionate performance of their colleagues.
After this scene, Song Jinshu was so thirsty that she even felt thirsty for the matchmaker.
Liu Jingmo stood by as a background wall, going from excitement at the beginning to calmness, then indifference, and finally indifference.
It's so boring, it's always the same fixed phrases.
At this time, the matchmaker also realized that Song Jinshu did not take their words to heart at all, and just treated it as a drama.
Song Jinshu took a deep breath and glanced at the matchmakers present with a faint smile: "I already know why you all came here. You have been talking for so long. Let's have some tea and rest first!"
The matchmakers were feeling uneasy. Although Song Jinshu was smiling, no matter how slow they were, they could sense that Song Jinshu was unhappy.
"Sir Song, I have something to attend to at home. I've already had my tea today, so I'll take my leave now. I'll come back another day for tea, okay?"
The matchmaker who was pointed out at the beginning said this with a flattering and guilty look on her face.
Song Jinshu's lips curled slightly, and he nodded with satisfaction: "Since you have something to do at home, I won't try to keep you. Come back next time, and I'll treat you to some good tea!"
She emphasized the last two words, and the matchmaker's lips trembled. She hurriedly bowed and left.
The others also stood up and left, and no one dared to speak in reply.
After everyone left, Song Jinshu stared at Liu Jingmo with sharp eyes and put the teacup down heavily.
"Tell me the truth, what's going on?"
Liu Jingmo had a bitter face and a hint of guilt, but finally, under pressure, he explained the reason in full.
It turned out that someone in the city started the rumor. At first, some people were discussing that she was unmarried, but later the rumor spread and became that she was anxious to find a husband.
Then, the prominent figures in the city offered their sons, grandsons or nephews one after another.
Even in Songjun Academy, many students took the initiative to throw themselves into her arms and asked to marry her.
Song Jinshu could guess with his toes that what they wanted was just to get him to open a backdoor for them.
After hearing what happened, Song Jinshu's mouth twitched. It was true that people who don't have enough food are more likely to cause trouble.
"You spread the word that I already have a close friend who is always by my side. If anyone else comes to propose marriage, it will definitely anger my beauty. At the very least, they will be beaten with a stick, and at the worst, they will go to jail."
In order to avoid future trouble, she made up a beautiful rumor for herself.
Liu Jingmo blinked his big eyes and was reluctant to leave. Instead, he looked straight at Song Jinshu with a gossipy look in his eyes.
Song Jinshu's forehead veins bulged, and he glared at him fiercely: "If you keep thinking about this, I'll beat you up!"
Liu Jingmo instinctively covered his head and said, "Don't hit me! I'm going this way!"
The next moment, Liu Jingmo was seen running very fast, as if he had experienced this kind of thing countless times.
"It seems that the method I taught my second sister to control her husband is quite useful."
Look, Liu Jingmo has been trained to be so obedient!
Two days later, as the rumor spread, almost everyone in the city knew that Song Jinshu had a close male friend.
Those students who were scheming and wanted to take an unconventional approach could only grit their teeth and secretly hate Lan Yan for acting so quickly!
Everyone knows that Lord Song has won the emperor's favor. After only three years in office, he was directly appointed as a third-rank county magistrate. In a few years, he will definitely be appointed as an official in Beijing.
There will be many benefits to being her.
This rumor also reached the ears of Wu, the owner of Fulai Inn. He almost immediately wrote a letter with a 100,000 yuan expedited to Beizhou City.
In his mind, there must be a bad guy who took advantage of his master's absence to deceive Song Jinshu.
On the other side, the Liu family also heard about this, and the most surprised person was Old Lady Liu.
The marriage between Song Jinshu and Song Yunfu was her biggest concern.
Song Yunfu is still young, so she can take care of things slowly, but Song Jinshu is already twenty-three or twenty-four years old, and will be thirty in a few years.
How could she not be anxious when she didn't even have a warm bed?
So Song Jinshu was ordered by her to go over for a talk.
"My dear, tell me honestly, is it true that you have a close male friend? When will you bring him to me? Is he better looking than County Magistrate Lu?"
Song Jinshu's face darkened. In order to avoid worrying Old Madam Liu, she explained what had happened honestly.
In response, Old Madam Liu expressed deep regret: "Alas! I wish it were true."
"Shu'er! I think the families who proposed marriage to me before are pretty good. How about..."
"Grandma! The Autumn Examination is coming up, and there's still work to do at the government office! I'm going back to take care of my business first!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Liu no longer had the heart to say anything more. She hurriedly said, "Then get busy! Official business is more important!"
Watching Song Jinshu leave, she sighed silently with a sad face.
In the past, she was optimistic about County Magistrate Lu, thinking that the boy had a good temper, handled things prudently, and was good at taking care of Song Jinshu, and the two of them were a good match.
Unfortunately, the child had something to do at home, and he has been away for more than a year. No one knows when he will come back.
In a high-ranking courtyard somewhere in Shunan Prefecture.
A dignified and graceful woman sighed regretfully.
"What a pity, even though Mr. Song is such a good person, my Erlang is not lucky enough to have him."
The old woman stepped forward to hold Madam Yang's shoulders and flattered her, "Don't worry, Madam. Our second son is good at everything. When he passes the imperial examination, we will find you a very good daughter-in-law."
Mrs. Yang frowned slightly, feeling even more worried. She knew her own son well enough that he was not cut out for study.
But he is a stubborn person and won't change his mind easily once he makes up his mind.
"Oh! I wish!"
A robe quietly left the corner, and the master and servant in the room did not notice.
