After entering the house, the men and women split into two groups.
Father Liu took Shen Chaodong, Uncle Ma and Dehua to stay in the main hall to talk, while Wanyun and her mother went back to their room.
Before leaving, Liu Wanyun deliberately glanced at her man, and it happened that the man was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and in the eyes of others, the look was as sticky as if it were drawn with silk threads.
Her mother, Awei, was very pleased. When she turned around, she saw Madam Ma pulling her son towards the main hall. She stepped forward and took her arm. "Sister, let Fen go by himself. You and I will go up to the room and teach Wanyun some ways to be a wife!"
When Mrs. Ma heard this, she had no choice but to push her son over and stay with the woman.
Seeing her eyes still looking over there, Awei comforted her, "Brother Fen is an adult now, you should let go and worry less!"
Madam Ma's face was solemn. "I'm not as lucky as you. Marrying my brother means you don't have to worry about anything big or small. Look at my brother, he's like a toad, he only moves when you poke him. If I hadn't urged him on all these years, would our family have such a good life now?"
"If I hadn't urged Fen'er on, would he have been able to pass the exam and become a scholar?"
As she spoke, her voice became a little excited, and Avi quickly pulled her into the room.
Liu Wanyun listened nearby, silently commenting, "Typical self-admiration! Asking for trouble!"
If you have this energy, you might as well fight for yourself!
Alas, it’s a pity that in this era, women can only stay at home to take care of their husbands and children.
She suddenly felt a little sorry for her aunt!
But soon, she withdrew the idea!
After entering the room, Madam Ma took the initiative to sit next to her, took her hand and patted it, "I didn't realize that our Wanyun has some skills. Before, Auntie said that you can't do anything with your cousin, and now you regret it!"
"Tell me, auntie, how did you get into the Shen family and how did Madam Shen come to propose marriage?"
Liu Wanyun silently pulled her hand back. "I'm just thick-skinned. I've been asking around for men. The Shen family probably saw that I was eager to get married, and their family was in urgent need of a daughter-in-law, so it was a perfect match!"
Madam Ma naturally remembered the rumor, so she leaned over to ask, "Mr. Shen, is there something wrong with that?"
Liu Wanyun didn't answer directly, "Aunt, do you think he has any problems?"
Madam Ma looked at Liu Wanyun's rosy face, which looked like it had been moisturized, and shook her head. "I was saying, the Shen family has a lot of wealth. Even if their son is sick, they can find a doctor to nurse him back to health!"
"I don't know who is so wicked as to slander others like this!"
Me! I am the wicked one!
Liu Wanyun complained in her heart, but said, "I guess they are jealous of the Shen family. They can't stand seeing their three sons being so outstanding!"
Seeing that the two of them were chatting quite harmoniously, Wanyun's mother went to the kitchen to prepare food.
As soon as she left, Mrs. Ma changed her smile to one that said, "I have something to ask you, you must help me," and looked at Liu Wanyun.
"Wanyun, there's something your aunt wants to discuss with you. Please see how to make it happen!"
Liu Wanyun said nothing, just looked at her.
The way she was acting, she probably wouldn't listen even if I refused!
cough--
Madam Ma cleared her throat and said, "You're already married, and married into a good family, but your cousin is still single. You have to help him! I was thinking, doesn't the Shen family have two young ladies, and they're the right age. You have your cousin on one side and your sister-in-law on the other. Why don't you play matchmaker? Match them up?"
The love of parents in the world!
I completely understand people wanting their children to marry someone from a good family and benefit from the good fortune.
Liu Wanyun looked at her and didn't refuse immediately. "It's not a problem to make a connection. I can go back and ask my aunt about it. But, how much dowry can the Ma family afford?"
She married into the Shen family because she was marrying up. It was not only because of her own tricks, but more importantly, Mrs. Shen had taken a fancy to her horoscope.
Besides, she is different, she is getting married!
You are going to marry the girl, so you must have some capital, right?
Madam Ma's face was a little unhappy. "Why, just because you married into the Shen family and became the wife of a wealthy family, you look down on us?"
"How big is the Shen family's fortune to be willing to accept our betrothal gift? My aunt's intention is that you should mediate and mediate. Don't worry about the amount of the betrothal gift. The main thing is to strengthen the relationship."
"Besides, the two young ladies of the Shen family are both illegitimate children. If they come to our family to be the principal wife, their status will be different!"
Are you trying to save on the betrothal gift?
Thicker than her face!
Being a concubine's daughter, she also has a good life. Why shouldn't she enjoy the good life and come to your house to suffer?
Liu Wanyun didn't want to continue arguing with her. "What else is going on at my aunt's house? Is there anything else that makes people feel good? I'll tell you when I get back. I'll always have something to talk about!"
Mrs. Ma was so proud at this moment, "My son is a scholar! And now he's working in the county government office!"
"Also, my family has a shop in the west of the city that sells sweet soup, and business is booming!"
After saying that, he looked at Liu Wanyun expectantly.
"No more?"
Madam Ma nodded, "No more!"
Liu Wanyun looked troubled, "I'm afraid that won't work!"
Madam Ma's voice immediately rose several degrees. "The Shen family is in business, and my son works at the county government office. From now on, he'll have a say in everything related to the county government! This is a huge benefit!"
What could a scholar do in the county government? Nothing more than copying and such, what else could he say?
It is said that the rice made from the rice sold by the Shen family is really delicious?
Liu Wanyun was speechless, but this aunt was a difficult person. If she refused today, she would definitely be nagged all the time.
It would be better to let her hit the wall on her own.
"Aunt, I definitely hope to strengthen the relationship, but, you know, I just got married and I don't have much say yet... I have to think about this matter slowly!"
As she spoke, she looked towards the main hall.
Madam Ma understood immediately, "That's right, it's not easy for you, a new bride, to speak up. How about this, I'll mention it to my son-in-law during dinner later and test his opinion! You have to cooperate with me!"
"OK!"
Liu Wanyun agreed readily.
When it was time for dinner, Mrs. Ma was full of excitement. She helped Wanyun's mother to prepare the meal enthusiastically and waited for three rounds of drinks.
She then spoke, "Master Shen, I heard that you have two unmarried sisters. I wonder if they are engaged?"
Mrs. Ma was overly enthusiastic and talkative. Shen Chaodong didn't like her from the first moment he saw her.
But considering that she was Liu Wanyun's aunt, he was only polite and replied politely, "No!"
After he finished replying, he noticed that Liu Wanyun was desperately looking at him.
He added, "But—"
He didn't know what Liu Wanyun meant, so he could only look at her and wait for her hint.
"But what? Did Auntie make any demands regarding family background or betrothal gifts?"
Liu Wanyun pretended to ask while secretly making a ten to him with her two index fingers.
Chen Chaodong continued expressionlessly, "It's nothing more than requiring the man's family to have at least ten shops and ten acres of good farmland! He can guarantee that I won't suffer hardship if I marry him!"
