Chapter 1115: Madam Zheng’s Visit
Among the eldest wife's children, Shen Qingman and Shen Qingxiao are still single. The matchmaker came to Wu's house to propose marriage to these two.
But Shen Qingqian found it strange. If someone wanted to get married at this time, they would rarely ask a matchmaker to come directly. Most people would ask a third party about the woman's attitude towards marriage first, and only after confirming that there was no problem would they ask a matchmaker to propose marriage.
Shen Qingqian was naturally concerned about the lifelong events of her two sisters, and soon arrived at the large house in the front yard where guests were received.
As she approached, she heard an unfamiliar woman's voice say, "Oh, Madam, you have no idea how good the Wu family's Second Young Master is. If it weren't for the bad situation in recent years, he would be a top scholar! And Young Master Wu and your Second Young Lady are of the same age, they are truly a perfect match!"
"Mr. Wu is naturally a good choice, but my second daughter is busy with worldly affairs now, and I'm afraid she doesn't have the free time to talk about marriage for the time being." Wu's voice was light, obviously a rejection.
Shen Qingqian glanced at the things piled up in the yard and frowned slightly. Are all the powerful people in Chenzhou so unrefined that they just let the matchmaker bring the betrothal gifts to the door?
She didn't go into the house, wanting to see what the other party was up to.
The matchmaker then said, "Oh, Madam, please don't be confused. No woman would delay her marriage by showing up in public. If your second daughter agrees to this marriage, she won't have to worry about food, clothing, or other expenses in the future. Young Master Wu is good, and the Wu family is even better. He's the richest family in Chenzhou."
After that, the matchmaker said many good things about the Wu family, but Mrs. Wu remained silent until the matchmaker grew tired. Shen Qingqian then heard Mrs. Wu speak again, "I'm so sorry. Thank you for your kindness, but I still want to keep my sister for two more years."
"What do you mean by Madam? Did I hear you right? Your second daughter is already in her twenties this year, and you actually want to keep her as your eldest sister for two more years. Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart: a girl cannot be kept when she grows up. If you keep her, you will only turn her into an enemy!" The matchmaker continued to persuade, and had already begun to belittle Shen Qingman.
Shen Qingqian heard the sound of Wu heavily setting down her teacup, and spoke with a hint of coldness, "I can naturally make the decision on my daughter's marriage. Liu Bingren, please go back! Zisu, show him away!"
"Liu Bingren, please." This was followed by the voice of Zi Su, the new housekeeper in the family.
The official media of Dajin is also called the Iceman.
Not to mention that Mrs. Wu was angry, even Shen Qingqian was angry when she heard it.
Who would talk like that? Just based on this point, the Wu family described by the matchmaker is not a good family.
Shen Qingqian still didn't go in, and led Shen Wen to hide in the corner.
"You will definitely regret missing out on Young Master Wu! Don't you think about how old your second daughter is? It is said that she was divorced and sent home. Why are you so arrogant?" Liu Bingren came out of the house cursing and asked someone to take away the things they brought.
After everyone left, Shen Qingqian went into the house, "Aunt, don't listen to her nonsense, my second sister is fine."
After Wu's anger subsided, she had figured things out. Seeing Shen Qingqian coming, she quickly smiled and asked, "You girl, you must be exhausted lately. I'm worried about you after dinner. I'm not angry."
Of course she knew how good her daughter was, but what the matchmaker said just now was very right. Man Jie'er is already 22 years old this year. If she doesn't get married, she will probably be alone for the rest of her life.
Seeing Wu's sadness, Shen Qingqian comforted her, "Don't worry, aunt. Fate cannot be forced. Second sister is so outstanding, she will definitely meet someone who truly understands and cherishes her."
Besides, who says that a woman's value must be reflected by getting married?
She didn't say the latter part, after all, she had just been engaged to Sheng Ze.
"You're right, I..." Wu was about to speak when Zi Su came in with Madam Zheng.
Madam Zheng smiled and said, "Madam, I hope I didn't disturb you by coming here."
