Chapter 280 Let’s Try It
"Dad," Shao Yunduan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he shook his head and sighed, "Please ask Second Uncle and Second Aunt to give up this idea as soon as possible, those two young masters——"
Of course, he couldn't possibly tell the true identities and origins of Le Zhengxiao and Xie Jingrong. Otherwise, if it got out and reached Lord Qiao's ears, it would be troublesome.
"Those two young men are both scholars, and their families are wealthy. Their parents and elders must have planned their marriages long ago. I don't know whether they are engaged or not. Besides, they and I are just ordinary friends. How can I say such a thing? And the two families are not a good match."
Fang sneered, "That's right! Some people don't know their own worth, so don't let them cause trouble for others! We, Yunduan, have made a few friends with great difficulty. If we can't keep in touch with them because of this embarrassing incident, wouldn't Yunduan lose a network of connections? I'm telling you, old man, if you dare to harm Yunduan, I'll never let you go!"
Uncle Shao frowned: "Am I that kind of person? I'm just asking! Since her family has already made plans, then forget it. For things like marriage, of course both parties have to be interested. But Meiling is also your niece, so why do you look down on her like that? Can't you say a few good words about her?"
"She's just about to get married. Wouldn't it be more auspicious if you said something nice to her?"
Fang rolled her eyes. "Okay, okay, she's fine! Okay? As long as she doesn't harm my son, I don't care about her!"
"You!" Uncle Shao glared angrily.
Uncle Shao and Mrs. Niu became anxious when they heard the hesitant words.
"Brother, it seems that the marriages of the two gentlemen are not certain, right? Then why can't they mention it? What if one of them falls in love with our Meiling?"
"That's right! Our Meiling is good-looking, sensible and hardworking, so why can't that be possible?"
"At least give it a try! Big brother, you also hope that Meiling can marry into a good family, right? If there is no such opportunity, forget it, but now there is such an opportunity, it won't hurt to give it a try! It's just a matter of a word! If it works out, Meiling and we will be grateful to you for the rest of our lives."
"yes!"
Uncle Shao and Niu begged each other, almost crying. Uncle Shao was upset and wanted to pat his chest to agree. But he didn't dare to make Shao Yunduan's decision, so he could only bite the bullet and say he would think about it, and fled in a hurry.
Niu spat in shame and anger, sneering: "Brother, you talk so nicely, always saying you'll treat me well, treat me well! What family, what relatives? I think you're just being selfish!"
Uncle Shao sneered: "Be smarter next time. If someone comes again, take Meiling with you."
"Yes!" Niu's eyes lit up: "Oh, you are so smart, boss. I will keep a closer eye on you."
She said sourly: "I think Yunduan is really different now. There may be more friends coming to our house in the future. I have to keep an eye on them. It won't be these two, but others will be fine."
She had no choice but to admit it. Shao Yunduan was a scholar, and the people who made friends with Shao Yunduan were definitely not ordinary farmers. Although her family didn't have a scholar, it would be nice to have a son-in-law who was a scholar.
And maybe you can become an official in the future?
Wouldn’t my daughter then become an official’s wife?
The trick is already there, why not use it?
In the final analysis, it is the eldest wife who is to blame. If she had been willing to help, why would her family be in such a state?
Shao Yunduan and the others knew nothing about this, and since no one mentioned the matter anymore, they didn't take it seriously.
