Chapter 278 The little profiteer is here again
I thought that the swarm of people who came to propose marriage were just a whim and would soon disperse.
But after two days, more and more people wanted to marry into the Jiang family. Not only would the threshold be trampled, but even the door frame would be squeezed out. What
's worse, some even brought betrothal gifts and waited at the door of the Jiang family with a smug look.
However, this kind of behavior is mostly from the newly rich merchants and the Jia family. Those who are a little more disciplined still invited matchmakers to explore the way first.
In fact, it's not their fault that they are too attentive. After all, Yuncheng is not a big place. It's rare to have a marquis outside the pass. Who wouldn't keep an eye on him!
Xiao Lanyi is from the capital, and everyone guessed that his family would not be here, so it's not easy to target him.
So Jiang Fengze attracted all the "firepower".
Almost all the famous people in the city who had daughters to marry wanted to give it a try.
Seeing that there were many good families who came to propose marriage, Feng couldn't help but be happy and wanted to wait for Fengze to come back to talk.
At this time, the whole family was talking about Fengze, but no one noticed that little Fengmiao was sneaking out of the door with a "sly smile" on his face.
Seeing that his third brother was too competitive, he actually smelled a "business opportunity" from it.
After running to Xianquanju, seeing that everyone was suffering from not being able to see Fengze, Fengmiao stood up and shouted, "I am the brother of Guanwaihou!"
"If anyone wants to hand over a portrait of their daughter to my brother, I can help you for 200 coins each time!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned. They
can't see the person, but they can give the portrait a try? This is a good idea, why didn't they think of it!
Old Mrs. Xiao took a mouthful of tea and almost sprayed it on Qin Bu Tong's face opposite.
"Mother, is this what you taught him... the so-called way of doing business?" Mrs. Xiao looked at her mother-in-law cautiously.
Old lady Xiao held her hairpin steady, feeling angry and happy
at the same time, "Who taught him this? How could this kid come up with such an idea!" Qin Bu Tong wiped his face with his hand and praised, "Haha, I have to say, Feng Miao is a very quick-witted kid. In my opinion, this method will definitely make a lot of money."
Sure enough, just after she finished speaking, she saw two couples and three matchmakers from the tables next to her sneaking towards Feng Miao.
Although it was too straightforward to hand over the portrait to Feng Ze directly, it was very useful.
Once they took a fancy to someone, it would be a hundred times better than waiting here.
In fact, before they came out, the portraits, birth dates, etc. were all prepared.
But this matter should not be seen by others. If it gets out, it will somewhat damage the reputation of my daughter.
So, those who were ready to make a move quietly pulled Feng Miao aside, handed over the silver, and rolled up the portrait tightly before asking him to do it.
What's more, some even insisted on giving Feng Miao a few hundred more coins, wanting to ask Feng Miao to help "jump the queue".
"I'll give you half an ounce of expedited silver, but you have to promise to let your brother see my daughter's painting today."
"I'll give you another 300 coins more than him! No matter what, my daughter must be ranked first!"
"Hehe, don't look at my girl's broad face and fat body, but that is the face of peace and prosperity! Just show it to your brother, he will definitely like it!"
Little Feng Miao doesn't care about appearance, he just cares about making money!
After he had his arms full of scrolls and his silver bag was full, the boy ran home happily like a monkey.
At this moment, the Jiang family was sitting on the kang, talking to Jiang Fengze.
After all, he was old enough to get married, and if he came to say that there was a suitable relative, Feng would like to let him take a look.
Feng twisted her feet and said earnestly, "Your father passed away early, and I raised you five brothers alone. We have come through all the difficult times. Now, Fengnian and Fenghu are both married, Chun Ge'er is born, and the eldest brother's wife is almost full-term. If your marriage can be settled, your mother will feel more at ease."
Jiang Fengnian walked into the inner room and patted his third brother on the shoulder.
"Mom is right. Dad is not around. I have to help you keep an eye on your marriage. I can't bear to see you being single all the time!"
Jiang Fengze had just returned from Liaodong Camp. He avoided those people outside by going around Zhang's cornfield.
He was stunned for a moment, and then gradually became serious.
"Mom, brother, I don't think you have to do something at a certain age." Jiang Fengze shook his head. "If I get married just for the sake of getting married, not only will I be unhappy, but I will also delay the girl. Unless I meet someone I love, I really don't want to get married."
Feng's brows tightened.
This was not a rough statement, but her son stayed in the barracks all day and didn't like to interact with women. How could he meet someone he loved?
Not to mention the women outside, he even talked more with Da Huang at the entrance of the village than with those girls in the village...
Seeing his mother sighing, Jiang Fenghu stepped forward and said anxiously, "What's the point of loving or not? As long as the conditions are right and the character is acceptable, you will love her when you marry her! If everyone thinks like you, I'm afraid the village will be full of bachelors and old girls!"
Li Qiqiao thought for a while before saying, "Third brother, there are many people with good conditions who came to you these two days, including the prefect's family in the provincial capital."
"I heard from Yin'er that the matchmaker they hired has been living in our Xianquan for two days. If it turns out to be a good match, don't you really want to take a look?"
Jiang Fengze was unmoved by those wealthy families.
He shook his head and said firmly, "Second sister-in-law, the person I want to find must be like-minded and have similar character to me, so that I can live a stable life. As for the prefect or the governor, as long as I don't like it, I don't want to climb up to the position no matter how high the family is."
Li Qiqiao couldn't help but nod her head after hearing this.
She also looked forward to the "sister-in-law" who would come to marry in the future, not considering her family background but only her character, so that she would not be arrogant and nosy.
So Li Qiqiao kept silent and stopped persuading her.
Jiang Fengnian thought it was a pity, but if the cow didn't drink water, it wouldn't work even if its neck was broken, so he didn't nag any more.
But Jiang Fenghu was afraid that he would regret it in the future, so he took advantage of Fengze's inattention and gave him a slap in the face!
"You are such a stubborn bastard!" Jiang Fenghu beat him and ran away.
Feng was just disappointed, but now she glared at him, "Are you itchy, second brother? Don't hit your brother!"
Seeing Feng like this, the whole family was clear in their minds. The third child had been abducted for several years, and his mother loved him more in her heart, so she would definitely not force him.
Feng took Jiang Fengze's hand, rubbed the back of his head, and couldn't help sighing.
After all, marrying a wife is a lifelong matter, and she couldn't force it, lest there be bitter consequences in the future.
"Well, it depends on your own mind. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I am blessed not to worry about my children and grandchildren!" Feng pretended to roll her eyes, and shook off his hand and snorted, "Anyway, the wife is for you, not for me. If you are happy to have an empty bed, who cares about you!"
The whole family laughed a few times. The mother really knows how to find the steps.
Jiang Fengze also narrowed his eyes, his heart warmed again, and he was somewhat moved.
His mother was really open-minded and great!
Unlike those who force their children to get married, saying that it is for the good of the child, but in the end, the mother and child are separated, the husband and wife are not in harmony, and there is only chaos.
At this moment, Jiang Fengze thought of another thing.
He hurriedly glanced out the window and saw that Xiao Nuobao was sticking out his little butt, and while the adults were not paying attention, he lay on the dried food and drew randomly, which was very naughty.
Jiang Fengze showed his worry, "By the way, mother, there was a letter from the Xiao Mansion saying that there was a problem with the family business, and they urged Madam Xiao to go back. I'm afraid she will have to leave in two days."
"When Nuobao finds out, she will definitely be reluctant to leave. I wonder if she will cry for a few times." Fengze's expression darkened.
"Madam Xiao is going back to Beijing now?" Feng also sat up straight in surprise.
Xiao Lanyi was standing in the outer room and had not interrupted.
Now that the conversation had turned around, he went into the house and said, "It's actually nothing. It happens that I will personally send grandma and mother off, or let Nuobao follow me to Beijing to play for a few days."
"If she knew that she could go to Beijing, there would be opera troupes to watch every day, and she could eat all the Beijing snacks at the Xiao Mansion, she would definitely not feel bad." Xiao Lanyi said in a light tone.
At this moment, little Fengmiao was running home happily with the silver in his pocket.
But when he ran to the door, he heard the last part of the conversation and thought that the Xiao family wanted to take his sister to the capital to be raised.
Fengmiao was so scared that his hands loosened and the silver fell all over the floor. He turned around and picked up Nuobao and ran out.
He couldn't live without his sister!
Fengmiao's tears fell on his clothes. He had to hide his sister no matter what!
