But she didn't want to discourage the pig farmer, as the future meat of the Marquis' Mansion would depend on him, so she taught him in a gentle manner.
"Second brother, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. If you go to propose marriage empty-handed, you will be beaten out."
"Is that so? No wonder my grandmother always scolds us when she sees us. I thought that was because my aunt was not her child!"
Wen Qingwan would not tell the young man in front of her that it didn’t matter whether they were her biological children or not. As long as it was beneficial to her, any biological child would be better than any other!
Her biological mother valued the concubine more than her. Because her mother treated Wen Mingzhu well, her father would go to her mother's yard more often! "Jinlan, go prepare a generous gift. Third brother, please help me draw up an IOU for two hundred taels of silver. It will be considered as a loan from my second brother. You can also borrow money from me in the future if you need it."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. Third brother, please write down that I owe you 230 taels. The remaining 30 taels are for your hard work."
Xiao Libo had never been in debt in his life, which he found very rare and deeply moved.
"Second brother, we are one family and we should not have different opinions. I said two hundred taels, so it is two hundred taels. As the head of the family, I naturally have to worry about your marriage."
Wen Qingwan looked at the pig farmer in front of her and smiled very gently. With the IOU, she was not afraid that he would not raise pigs in the future! "Sister-in-law is really good at managing the family. Libo will only obey brother and sister-in-law from now on." Xiao Libo said sincerely.
The eldest sister-in-law is not only beautiful but also kind-hearted. If the stepmother were in charge of the family, she would never help him arrange a marriage!
Thinking of this, Xiao Libo glared at Xiao Wangshi fiercely, as if he wanted to eat her.
Xiao Wangshi: ...
When she was in charge of the household, she not only had to work hard but also had to pay for the dowry, but her stepchildren hated her and asked why she didn't give them meat for every meal.
Why did her stepson still glare at her when she was no longer the head of the household? Xiao Wangshi was so angry that she pinched her daughter hard again. Xiao Yuer was in so much pain that she burst into tears but dared not cry out loud.
Soon, Xiao Litao drafted the IOU, and Xiao Libo signed and stamped his fingerprint without hesitation.
Jinlan also prepared half a carriage full of gifts, all of which were flashy things, beautiful and high-end, but in fact they cost less than two hundred taels of silver.
Xiao Libo couldn't stop smiling. The other teenagers were envious and thought in their hearts that they could borrow from their sister-in-law in the future.
Xiao Lichun, Xia, Qiu, and Dong, four eight-year-old boys, and three six-year-old girls went with Wen Qingwan and the others.
"Sister-in-law, Yu'er wants to go too." Xiao Yu'er actually didn't want to go, but she was afraid that her mother would pinch her.
"Go if you want to. You'll be responsible for taking care of the thirty-sixth on the twenty-sixth." Wen Qingwan saw Xiao Wang pinching her daughter, so she said kindly.
"Okay, don't worry, sister-in-law, I will always take care of Yu'er." Xiao Liqiu immediately stepped forward and held Xiao Yu'er's hand.
Old Madam Xiao and the old marquis naturally would not go, as they felt that this matter would definitely not succeed.
But they were too smart to say it out loud, and Madam Xiao would say nice things, "Second brother, when you are away from home, listen to your eldest sister-in-law in everything."
"Don't worry, grandma. We will listen to what my sister-in-law says." Xiao Lixia said lively.
Wen Qingwan led a group of people, a total of five carriages, and headed to the Yun Mansion.
The matchmaker looked at Wen Qingwan, a young girl who had become the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, and she couldn't help but feel a little admiration for her.
This is a pretty girl. How can the lame prince of the Marquis' Mansion be worthy of her?
The matchmaker turned around and looked at the second young master who was going to act as a matchmaker today. He was so handsome. How could a concubine's daughter from the Shangshu Mansion be worthy of him?
So the matchmaker changed her nervousness when she went to Wen Mansion that day, and went to Yun Mansion in the early morning to deliver the visiting card in a very proud manner.
The servants of the Yun Mansion had been waiting at the gate for a long time. When they saw the official media entourage arrive, they warmly invited them into the mansion.
Xiao Libo was stunned. He and his aunt had never been treated like this since they came to the Yun Mansion. It was still his sister-in-law who had the most face.
She only heard from her eldest daughter-in-law that the official matchmaker had sent out a visiting invitation early in the morning. There were several young men in their family, and two girls who had reached the age of marriage had not yet been engaged.
So she dressed neatly, had breakfast, and sat in the hall of the Yun Mansion waiting for the official media to arrive.
When she looked up, she saw the woman who was traveling with the official media. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and her face was as beautiful as a person in a painting.
Wen Qingwan was originally beautiful, and after her rebirth, she has been drinking spiritual spring water.
The spiritual spring water can not only improve the body, but also has beauty effects, so the face is getting more and more beautiful.
Madam Yun smiled enthusiastically and said, "Oh, whose daughter is this? She is so pretty."
"Hello, Madam Yun. Thank you for your compliment." Wen Qingwan bowed slightly, but her expression was indifferent and she did not introduce herself.
She believed that the matchmaker would introduce them to each other, and sure enough, the matchmaker did not disappoint her.
The matchmaker smiled and said, "Old Madam Yun, this is the wife of Marquis Weiwu, Xiao Wen. I came to the Yun Mansion today to propose marriage on her behalf."

"The wife of Marquis Weiwu comes to our Yun Mansion to propose marriage?" The usually calm Madam Yun changed her expression in surprise.
She really looked down upon the Cheng'en Marquisate in the past, but she dared not offend the Weiwu Marquis. According to her husband, that was a title conferred personally by the emperor.
"Is the wife of Marquis Weiwu here to propose marriage for Marquis Weiwu?" asked the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yun family with a smile.
She was just worrying about who to marry her half-brother's daughter, who had just reached the age of 15. It would be nice if she could be Marquis Weiwu's concubine.
"Old Madam Yun, Madam Yun, today we are here to propose marriage to the second son of the Marquis's mansion."
"What? The second young master still wants to marry our Miss Yun?" Old Madam Yun's voice was sharp and trembling if you listened carefully.
The main reason why she looked down on the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion was because the Sixth Miss of the Yun Mansion came back every few days to ask for money.
If what she was given was not to her liking, she would cry and say that she, as the mistress, was mistreating her concubine, and that she was so angry that she handed over the power of the household to her eldest daughter-in-law.
That wicked girl got nothing in return from the eldest daughter-in-law and finally died of anger. Now her son wants to marry Miss Yun. This is outrageous.
"Xiao Libo, kneel down in front of me. Are you dreaming of marrying a beautiful woman? Unless..."
Old Madam Yun's loud shout interrupted Xiao Libo's wandering thoughts. He was most afraid of his grandmother and sister-in-law criticizing him.
He was just about to kneel down and say that it was okay if the Yun family didn't agree, and that he didn't want his sister-in-law to be kicked out of the Yun family like him, when he heard the matchmaker say arrogantly.
"Old Madam, I'm not afraid of getting angry when I say this, but the second son of the Marquis's Mansion is a rare young talent. Look at his appearance, his manners, his temperament...tsk tsk tsk tsk...it's simply impossible to describe it with words!"
Xiao Libo: ...
How could he be so good!
I don’t know where this matchmaker got the courage from!
Especially since his sister-in-law also looked like she agreed, this put a lot of pressure on him.
