Chapter 209: Fancy Sales Promotion
When Dong Yuanxuan came with Zhou Chengye and others, the girls who were whispering to each other immediately fell silent. Some older girls whose families were preparing to arrange marriages even lowered their heads shyly.
Seeing the ladies of each family pulling their eldest brother aside and asking him questions, Zhou Jingwan suddenly realized something and whispered to Daohua beside her, "I was wondering why my mother was here. Turns out she's looking for a wife for my brother."
Daohua was stunned for a moment, then looked at the girls present. Seeing that they were secretly looking at Dong Yuanxuan and the others, she immediately understood.
Isn’t this the ancient version of blind date!
Zhou Jingwan continued, "There must be a family here that my mother has her eyes on."
Rice Flower: “Are you sure?”
Zhou Jingwan nodded. "Otherwise, why would my mother be so eager to respond to Aunt Dong's request for my brother and his family to come over? She must have wanted to let the girl's family see what my brother looks like first."
Daohua turned to look at Dong Yuanxuan and the others who were being questioned by the ladies. Seeing that her three brothers were also receiving attention from the ladies, she rolled her eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "There's no point in looking at each other like this!"
"Why?" Zhou Jingwan looked over immediately.
Daohua explained, "Think about it. Whether it's Brother Dong and his friends, or the young men behind the screen who are following their fathers, who isn't handsome, elegant, and well-spoken? With so many talented young men, how can you ensure that the girls will remember your brother?"
It was obvious that many of the people present were taking advantage of this trip to secretly see each other.
Zhou Jingwan was stunned: "Oh, that's right! We are choosing people, and they are also choosing us. The family my mother likes may not be interested in me. What should I do?"
Daohua narrowed her eyes and said, "We have to find a way to make your brother and my brother stand out."
Zhou Jingwan nodded first, then looked surprised: "Didn't you say your mother is not in a hurry to find someone for your brother?"
Daohua: "I'm not in a hurry, but I think the girls here are all pretty good. Maybe one of them is my future sister-in-law."
Zhou Jingwan was speechless: "Your mother is not here, what's the point of you making a fuss?"
Daohua: "It's not like I have to decide right away. Right now, I just want to give it a try first, regardless of whether there is any fruit or not."
Zhou Jingwan: "What do you want to do?"
Daohua rolled her eyes at her and said, "What can I do? I just have to find a way to make all the ladies present remember my eldest brother."
Zhou Jingwan immediately perked up: "Do you have a plan? Come on, tell me what it is. I also want all the ladies to remember my brother well."
Daohua looked at Zhou Jingwan and said, "We need to work together on this."
Zhou Jingwan opened her eyes wide, eager to try: "How do I cooperate?"
Daohua looked at the ladies and said, "Look, even though your eldest brother and my eldest brother are both standing here, both the ladies and the girls can only see the surface of them and have no way of understanding them in depth."
"If you don't understand, you won't know if it's suitable. If you don't know if it's suitable, you'll be hesitant and consider others. In this way, your brother and I may miss out on some good girls."
Zhou Jingwan nodded. "What you said makes a lot of sense. My mother was just like that when she was choosing a boyfriend. She couldn't make up her mind. She kept hesitating and couldn't make a decision. In the end, the girl got engaged."
Daohua: "This is caused by insufficient public disclosure of information. Men are afraid of choosing the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. The wives of each family must be very cautious when choosing a son-in-law."
"So, what we need to do is to make sure the ladies and girls of each family know you and my brother well enough."
Zhou Jingwan's expression brightened: "Tell me, what should we do?"
Daohua: "We both just need to point out the strengths and weaknesses of our respective brothers."
Zhou Jingwan was surprised: "You have to mention the shortcomings too?"
Daohua: "Of course, only when the flaws are exposed can you know whether the other party can accept you. I know that when matchmakers arrange marriages nowadays, they usually only talk about the advantages of both parties and never mention the flaws. Only after the two get married do they realize they are completely incompatible, and then they spend their lives arguing and in chaos. Do you want your brother and your future sister-in-law to be like this?"
Zhou Jingwan quickly shook her head, then hesitated and said, "But it's not good to expose my brother's shortcomings in front of outsiders, right?"
Daohua: "So, this will test the way we speak. For example, my brother has always gotten up before dawn to study since he was a child, and he spends almost the entire day in his study."
Zhou Jingwan: "You are praising your brother, saying that he is ambitious, hardworking and diligent."
Daohua shook her head. "It's more than that. You have to think deeper. My brother is in his study all day long. Does that mean he doesn't spend much time with his family? He's been like this since he was a child. Is he particularly strict with himself?"
Zhou Jingwan nodded.
Daohua: "My brother doesn't spend much time with his family. Girls who need their husbands to spend a lot of time with them naturally won't consider him."
"My brother is very strict with himself. A girl who is more casual, unrestrained, and uninhibited would most likely not choose him."
"However, even if they don't choose, my brother is still a hardworking and ambitious person in their hearts, and it will not have any negative impact on his reputation at all."
Zhou Jingwan looked at Daohua with admiration: "Daohua, you are so amazing!"
Daohua waved her hands modestly: "It's just so-so, so-so!"
Next to the two of them, Su Shiyu looked at Daohua and Zhou Jingwan with a look of shock, who were lowering their heads to discuss how to make their brother stand out. She swallowed her saliva and looked at Dong Yuanyao beside her, with a questioning look in her eyes as if to ask, "Should we stop it?"
Dong Yuanyao shook her head with a wooden face. She knew Yan Yiyi was brave, but she didn't expect her to be so bold that she actually wanted to promote her brother in public!
Although she felt a little shocked, she was also looking forward to it and wanted to see how she would promote it.
Soon, everyone saw how shameless Daohua and Zhou Jingwan were.
Just when everyone in the cabin was still talking and chatting lively, suddenly, two slightly childish and crisp voices abruptly rang out.
"Jingwan, why do mosquitoes only bite me and not you?"
"This is because my brother prepared a sachet for me. He said there are a lot of mosquitoes when we're out, and he was worried that my mother and I wouldn't be able to withstand the bites, so he consulted many doctors and specially prepared this sachet for us. It contains more than 20 kinds of medicinal herbs. This sachet is good in every way, but it smells a bit unpleasant. Every time we go out, my brother requires us to wear it, even if I don't want to."
(Advantages: careful, considerate, filial, and caring for his younger sister; Disadvantages: somewhat arbitrary)
"Your brother is so nice. I want a brother like him too."
"Daohua, don't envy me. Brother Yan is a very good man too. I remember one time when we were out shopping, you accidentally knocked over a vendor's stall. The vendor wanted to pick on you, but Brother Yan stood in front of you without a word and took a punch from the vendor. He firmly protected you." (Brave, responsible, capable of taking responsibility, and making people feel safe.)
"But when I got home, my mother wanted to punish me, but he didn't even plead for me. He even said that if you make a mistake, you must be punished so that you will learn your lesson." (He sticks to the facts and doesn't show much compassion)
"So, I still think Brother Zhou is the best. Look, every time you go out, you won't lack anything. Brother Zhou takes care of everything for you, so you don't have to worry about anything." (Thorough work)
"But I don't necessarily like what he prepares. For example, I like the rouge you give me, but he insists on buying me a bunch from outside." (He's too nosy)
"Brother Yan is the best. You see, he never forces you to do anything you don't like, nor does he force you to eat anything you don't like." (Respect other people's ideas and hobbies)
"But he never plays with me. He just studies every day, saying he wants to get a good degree and bring honor to the family." (He ignores his family's feelings and has a strong sense of family honor)
"So Brother Zhou is still the best."
"Hello, Brother Yan."
"Hello, Brother Zhou."
"Hello, Brother Yan."
Daohua and Zhou Jingwan took turns praising Yan Wenxiu and Zhou Chengye from head to toe. As for whether they could hear their hidden flaws, that was not their business.
There was deathly silence in the cabin at this moment.
Whether it was the women or the men outside, everyone was stunned.
Everyone's ears were filled with the question: How is Brother Yan? How is Brother Zhou?
Su Shiyu was so stunned at this moment that she didn't even notice that the handkerchief in her hand had fallen to the ground.
Dong Yuanyao, who prided himself on being thick-skinned, now looked at Daohua and the other man who were talking excitedly with an expression of admiration.
The parties involved, Yan Wenxiu and Zhou Chengye, were fine at first, but when they heard what happened next and realized what their sister was planning, they immediately blushed with shame and wished they could find a hole to crawl into.
