The Young Master of the Coal Miner

Five days ago,

Broad Lane.

A pudgy woman walked through the alley and knocked on the door of a family at the end of the alley. She was looking for her old sister, Matchmaker Liu.

"Who is it? Come in. The door is not locked." Liu Matchmaker's hoarse voice floated through the crack of the door.

Pushing open the door, the mother-in-law saw Matchmaker Liu sitting at a stone table in the center of the yard, kowtowing melon seeds.

"Hey, Sister Liu is living a really leisurely life."

Matchmaker Liu raised her drooping eyelids and fixed her eyes. It turned out to be the second sister Wang, the wife of Hejiabu Zhuang Yang's shopkeeper.

"Where is Sister Wang idle? This year's business in the cloth shop is not bad. I guess your shopkeeper Yang can get a lot of money from the owner?" Liu Matchmaker raised her hand to support the rich and rich golden hairpin on her temple, and smiled. He joked to Second Sister Wang: "It's not like me. I still have to go out to earn some matchmaker money. This matchmaker business is not easy to do."

Hearing that Second Sister Wang smirked twice, she pretended to be in a daze and didn't answer, and changed the subject, "Is there any marriage that can embarrass Sister Liu, you, the number one matchmaker in Jinning City?"

"Oh, I have a big deal in my hands now." Matchmaker Liu put on airs, waved her hand to let Second Sister Wang come a few steps closer, and whispered in her ear: "If it works out, the matchmaker's money alone will have three big yellow croakers." .”

Second Sister Wang's eyes widened immediately, and she asked brightly, "Which family is this good marriage?"

"Xue Yanluo's house in the east of the city."

As soon as the words fell, Second Sister Wang's expression froze on her face. Her girl had just turned [-] this year, and she wanted to take the opportunity to find a wealthy husband, but she didn't expect it to be the deadly Hades, and all her fancy thoughts disappeared immediately.

"I originally wanted to tell Xue Yanluo the girl from the Wang family of Chengnan Bookstore." Matchmaker Liu picked up the gaiwan, put aside the tea leaves with the lid, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and said, "I didn't expect the Wang family to say that their girl has been appointed early. In a matter of marriage, I sent my daughter out of the city within a few days."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Matchmaker Liu immediately became furious. In Jinning City, who's kid is married, who's girl hasn't left the court, how could she, as a matchmaker, not know that the three big yellow croakers just slipped in front of her eyes like this? up.

The second sister Wang's eyeballs rolled around, and she sat down after grabbing a handful of melon seeds from the stone table, and said with an earnest smile: "Sister Liu and younger sister, let me tell you what the Xue Yanluo family wants. I can't tell." , I can really find a suitable candidate.”

"You?" Matchmaker Liu glanced sideways at her, her eyes full of disbelief. Does this Jin Ning know more about this marriage than her?

But for the three big yellow croakers, she still stated the Xue family's request: "Don't look at this Xue Yanluo is a bandit, this old lady of the Xue family has quite a lot of requests. First, the three generations of the ancestors must be innocent, and second, the family must be rich. To be rich, the third thing is to have a girl who is educated and reasonable.”

"This request is not too high." Second Sister Wang didn't take it seriously. This Xue Yanluo is now considered a prominent figure in Jinning City. Isn't it a matter of course to find a good wife?

"That's why I said you don't know how to be a matchmaker! Which of the girls with good conditions in Jinning City is not ten 56, and the marriage was arranged early, and when it was full, the red sedan chair was carried out of the pavilion?" Matchmaker Liu said disdainfully: " The old lady of the Xue family wanted Xue Yanluo to marry this year, so I had no choice but to find those 89-year-old girls."

That's right, Xue Yanluo is almost 22 years old, and he doesn't even have a housemate at home.An ordinary man at his age has sons who are all over the street selling soy sauce, and Mrs. Xue wants to hug her great-grandson, can she not be in a hurry?

"I racked my brains here to find two or three girls in Jinning who have not yet come out of the court, and guess what happened?"

"What's the matter?" Second Sister Wang was whetted by her and asked.

"Aunt Guo, who was following Mrs. Xue, was picky about these girls. In the end, only the girl from the Wang family in the bookstore was left behind, and she couldn't pick anything."

Matchmaker Liu gritted her teeth bitterly and said, "I didn't expect Boss Wang to do such a terrific thing. When I went to Xue's house to answer a few days ago, I was scolded by Aunt Guo, a light-hearted bastard."

Seeing that Matchmaker Liu was upright, Second Sister Wang didn't dare to intervene.

Second Sister Wang didn't dare to say anything, but Matchmaker Liu poured bitter water on her side: "Then Aunt Guo actually suggested that since Xue Yanluo likes Kun Ze in Annan Pavilion, why not choose a young master Kun Ze as his wife."

The second sister Wang was dumbfounded, did the Xue family really think that she was the emperor's chosen concubine?

Kunze is beautiful, you have to know that in the previous dynasty, as the emperor of Qianli, every three years, there will be a general election among the people, among which Kunze, who is rare, is the top priority in the selection.As a result, people with certain identities pamper their baby Kunze, only hoping to fly to the branches one day.

Although the previous dynasty had died, apart from the Qing courtier Kunze in the Annan Pavilion, where would Matchmaker Liu find a respectable Kunze for the Xue family who was sixteen or seventeen years old and not yet engaged.

The more she thought about it, the matchmaker Liu became more and more annoyed that she couldn't get the three large yellow croakers, and she spat out the melon seeds in her mouth on the table.

I don't want to think that the second sister Wang over there said leisurely: "Sister Liu, I have a good candidate here."

"!" Matchmaker Liu turned her head in shock, and the gold hairpin on her temples almost fell off. She asked earnestly, "My good sister! Tell me quickly."

Second Sister Wang had a simple and honest smile on her chubby face, but her eyes revealed a hint of shrewdness, and she said, "My candidate fully meets the requirements of Mrs. Xue. It's just that after it's done..."

"How much do you want?" Matchmaker Liu clapped her handkerchief on the stone table and said seriously.

"Sister, I'm not greedy either, just share 20 taels of silver with me when things are done." The smile on Second Sister Wang's face remained undiminished.

20 two?

Matchmaker Liu frowned, which became more obvious on her powdered old face.These 20 taels were almost worth the matchmaker's money given to her by wealthy people in normal times, but thinking of the big yellow croaker that Mrs. Xue promised, she still gritted her teeth and agreed.

"Who is this candidate?"

"This man, it can be said that he has a wealth of wealth, and half of the shops in our Jinning City are owned by them." Second Sister Wang said with a smug face, pretending to be mysterious.

Matchmaker Liu couldn't figure it out for a while, as far as she knew, there were not many rich people like this in Jinning City.

"Which one is it?"

"Which one else could it be? My master's family—the He family."

"Didn't the young master of the He family only turn eight years old this year? It doesn't look like he will be divided into Kunze's fate."

"That's the young master of the He family. I'm talking about the eldest master of the He family." The second sister Wang kowtowed the melon seeds in her hand and said, "The eldest son of the He family differentiated into Kunze when he was just over ten years old. When I was young, I made a fuss about wanting to study abroad. Guess what? Mrs. He actually agreed. I heard from my master a few days ago that the eldest son of my boss is going back to China."

Matchmaker Liu lowered her head and thought about it. She remembered that the He family did have an eldest son, but she forgot that the eldest son of the He family was Kun Ze.

She glanced at Second Sister Wang who was eating melon seeds, and raised her eyebrows secretly. No wonder this old sister dared not be a matchmaker to eat these three large yellow croakers herself, even though she had a suitable candidate. Let her come out and be the bad guy.

Second Sister Wang was full of thoughts about the 20 taels of silver that she was about to get, so she had no time to think about her daughter's marriage.She grabbed a hand of melon seeds on the table, said goodbye to Matchmaker Liu, turned her head and walked outside, looking at her posture and walking with wind.

Matchmaker Liu glanced at the lack of a handful of melon seeds on the plate, poohed at the back of Second Sister Wang's leaving, and immediately spat out the melon seeds in her mouth to the ground.

-

The next day.

Matchmaker Liu went to Xue's door dressed decently.

The residence of the Xue family was an old house bought from a descendant of a declining official.Although the mansion is a bit old, it can be seen how beautiful the family's ancestors were once with a little repair.It's a pity that the descendants of the descendants did not live up to their expectations, relying on the family property accumulated by their ancestors to live in debauchery, and became infected with opium. In the end, even the ancestral house was sold to others.

Matchmaker Liu knocked on the knocker on the door of the Taotie shop, and not long after, the nearby porter opened the door.

A few days ago, Matchmaker Liu went in and out of Xue's house many times, and the concierge knew her well.Let the girl in the mansion inform Mrs. Xue, and the concierge asked Matchmaker Liu to enter the door and wait under the patio.

Matchmaker Liu dusted off her round-neck, button-down coat, straightened the gold hairpin on her head, with a smug look on her face.

After waiting for a while, the maid informed her to enter the main room, and she was not annoyed.

In the main room, Mrs. Xue was wearing a dark green double-breasted long jacket with a black edge, and was sitting on the main seat with a rosewood cane in her hand. Beside the annoying Aunt Guo, there was also a handsome woman standing beside her. The strange girl, with a long braid and round eyes, looks quite pleasing, but her body is thinner.

Matchmaker Liu looked at them calmly, and went up to congratulate Mrs. Xue.

"Congratulations to the old lady first, the candidate we selected this time will definitely meet your requirements for granddaughter-in-law."

But before Mrs. Xue on the main seat could speak, Aunt Guo on the side spoke first: "Hey, matchmaker Liu found a wife for my elder nephew from Annan Pavilion, right?"

Hearing Aunt Guo's eccentric words, the happy expression on Old Madam Xue's face immediately turned serious.

The complacency on Matchmaker Liu's face did not diminish at all, and she took Aunt Guo's words freely: "Look at what you said, the candidate that Matchmaker Liu is looking for is naturally a decent young master."

Aunt Guo was immediately dumbfounded. This Jinning-aged Kun Ze had already been married. From which corner did Mrs. Liu come from?

Matchmaker Liu went on to say: "The young master of this family I selected is definitely top-notch. I dare say that if you search all over Jinning with a lantern, you won't be able to find a more outstanding one."

Seeing Matchmaker Liu's promise, Mrs. Xue immediately became interested, stood up and pulled her to sit down: "Tell me, which family's young master is it?"

"This man is the young master of the He family in Jinning, named He Wenyan."
