Chapter 286 287. Selection
After coming out of the dental clinic disappointed again, Jin Qianqian took a deep breath. There were some shops and houses, but no manors.
She also wanted to grit her teeth and buy a house to use as a workshop. After all, the privacy was not that good, and going in and out could easily cause conflicts with neighbors. She still preferred to live in the village.
But she was unwilling to give up so she asked Hong Da to drive the car to the next dental clinic.
"Madam Gu, it's really hard to find a farm nearby. Would you like to consider looking for one farther away?" Xu Nuo didn't expect that he would meet his first customer before going out.
"It's not possible to go too far. I want to use the farm as a workshop to facilitate supply. Not only is it inconvenient to transport, it's also troublesome to manage." Jin Qianqian didn't expect to hit a wall again.
Xu Nuo knew that the two previous shops were soap shops, but he did not expect that the one in front of him was actually a direct manufacturer, and even the royal merchant that everyone wanted to know about in the past two years.
"If you don't want to go too far, I do have a place here, but it's a small hillside, and it will take a lot of effort to clean it up."
Jin Qianqian, "What about the water source? What I need is convenient access to water."
She has seen many small hills. Now it is not as convenient as in later times where we can install running water pipes. If this workshop has no water, it would be like having its neck strangled.
Xu Nuo knew that this deal could not be concluded. "There is no water source there, and I don't have a suitable place right now. I will ask someone to keep an eye out for you. If there is any news, I will report it to the mansion."
Jin Qianqian stood up and thanked him, "Thank you so much, Miss Xu! As long as you have a suitable shop or farm, you can send it to my house. If it suits your taste, I will accept it."
Hearing about this wealthy appearance, Xu Nuo was secretly envious. He also knew that the man in front of him might be an important client of his in the future, so he quickly stood up and accepted the invitation.
Just as he saw Jin Qianqian being helped into the carriage, Xu Nuo turned around and saw his mother standing there.
"Why are you still here?" Xu Zhou said with a cold face, "I have already told the matchmaker that today she is looking for those people who come from other places to make a living. They are fine except that they are a little poor.
We can easily deal with people like this, so don't play dumb with me, go and take a look."
Xu Nuo looked helpless. "Mom, I just had something to do. The lady I had a deal with asked me to find her some farms and shops. I'm about to go out and look for some. We can talk about the wedding in a few days."
"How can we wait? And there is no rush. The matchmaker has already found the person. If it doesn't work out, you can go and pick someone you like." Xu Zhou said gritting her teeth. She had to settle the marriage in the next few days no matter what. Her body would not last much longer.
Xu Nuo helped Xu Zhou walk inside, "It's still a little cold outside, mother, don't let the cold get you hurt."
"Arnold, my body won't hold on for much longer. Do you want me to die in peace?" Xu Zhou held Xu Nuo's hand tightly.
"Mom, don't say those things. I'll go." Xu Nuo said quickly, "I'll help you go back to your room to rest first."
"Mother doesn't need your support. There are so many old women here. You should get out quickly and don't keep the matchmaker waiting for too long." As she said this, she pushed Xu Nuo away, fearing that she would miss him or her.
Xu Nuo walked helplessly towards the matchmaker's house not far away, and the maid beside him followed silently.
As soon as she entered the door, the matchmaker grabbed her hand and said, "My dear Miss Xu, you are finally here. Those young men are waiting inside. I spent a lot of effort to find them for you. See if there is any suitable one?
We are looking for a son-in-law, so we can't be too picky, but the ones I find for you are all good-looking, I guarantee you and your mother will be satisfied."
Xu Nuo never thought that one day she would be able to choose a husband just like buying cabbage.
When she reached the door, she hesitated. Is this the life she wanted?
The matchmaker pushed her inside and said, "I have known your mother for decades, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to help you find so many suitable candidates.
I can tell you, the young men are all very good, I have asked people to investigate them, and when the time comes, your family just needs to give some silver, which will be like buying off the family relationship, and you can find one that suits your eyes."
The matchmaker knew that this was the best option for Xu Nuo. Otherwise, as an orphan with such a huge fortune, she would not be treated sincerely no matter which family she married into.
This kind of son-in-law who is half bought and half married into the family is the most suitable.
Xu Nuo frowned and looked at the five young men. This matchmaker was too unreliable. Putting everyone in the same room, wasn't she afraid that everyone would feel embarrassed?
Being stared at by so many eyes, Xu Nuo felt uncomfortable all over. Just as he was about to leave, the matchmaker walked in and said, "Come, let me introduce you."
"Grandma, isn't this inappropriate?" Xu Nuo reminded her softly. This wasn't like selecting slaves in a pawnshop, and treating these people like this was a bit too much.
"It's okay. Everyone knows the purpose of today's visit," said Lao Matchmaker with a smile, "This is Miss Xu I told you about before. I've also told you about the situation. She's here now. If you think it's appropriate, you can stay. If not, you can leave now."
Seeing that no one was moving around, Lao Matchmaker nodded in satisfaction and reminded Xu Nuo in a low voice, "Niece, is there anyone you like now?"
Xu Nuo was just trying to find an excuse to shirk the responsibility, but Lao Matchmaker continued, "Your mother told me that if you are not satisfied with these people, she will find matchmakers for you all over Shangjing. By then, it won't be as simple as these few people."
Xu Nuo frowned, closed his eyes, and pointed at someone at random, "That's him."
"The boy from the Gu family?" The old matchmaker confirmed with her once again that although this boy was tall and big, he was the ugliest looking one among them.
It’s not that this boy doesn’t look good, but compared to the other boys she carefully selected, he is still a little lacking in one or two aspects.
"Yeah," Xu Nuo felt that at this point, it didn't matter who he chose. But seeing that he kept his head down, he thought that he was not very willing and would probably jump out to object.
Gu Lehuan never thought that he would be picked out even though he had been hiding in a corner.
"That's fine too," the old matchmaker clapped her hands. "It's obvious that she's a good worker. Even if she can't help you with business, she can still help out in the backyard."
"Why is that?" one of the young men couldn't help but say, "I look better than him."
Xu Nuo said, “I am not like you men, good looks are useless to me.
And I like him more, is that not okay?"
At this time, Lao Matchmaker also stood up to stop the others from speaking, "We agreed before that this time, Miss Xu will be the one making the decision, and I will give you each a red envelope later, so don't make things difficult for me here."
