Wang Mingfeng didn't expect Zhou Jiuniang to fall out as soon as she said she wanted to, and immediately lost her face and spat heavily at her, "Bah! If we don't interact with each other, we won't interact with each other. You think I care about you!" In the future, when you are beaten by your men or chastised by your mother-in-law, don't come to me."
Normally, if Zhou Jiuniang was scolded like this, she would have to argue with her, but today she couldn't care less.
She even hired a matchmaker to go to the Lu family to arrange a marriage! There is no need to delay.
Zhou Jiuniang didn't quarrel with her, turned back to the house, freshened up, and took the matchmaker to the Lu family.
There were not many customers in the pastry shop at the moment, and it was rare for everyone in the shop to take a break. Mrs. Su asked everyone to take turns going back to the kitchen to eat.
She sat behind the counter and sorted out today's accounts first.
While I was busy, I saw a fat woman with eyebrows and powder coming in with a smile on her face.
The woman didn't wait for Su to speak, and said with a joyful expression: "My boss, we are happy!"
Su was confused by her, "Why are you so happy?"
The woman said, "I'm here to marry your girl. , isn't this a happy event?"
Hearing that he was here to marry his daughter, Mrs. Su really thought it was a happy event.
She has long been worried about her children's marriage.
Mrs. Su hurriedly put down the account book in her hand and welcomed the person in to sit down.
Jiang Tangtang originally decorated the shop according to the standards of a modern milk tea shop. Although the tables, chairs and benches were simple, they seemed very trendy in this era.
Coupled with the flowers, plants, carvings, etc. decorated on the walls, everything is elegant. Zhou Jiuniang came in with the matchmaker and looked at the furnishings of the shop with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.
Mrs. Su invited the two of them to sit down and called Li Xiangchen to serve tea. Then she asked, "I wonder who this man's family is?
" A student from the academy. Not only has good conduct, but is also knowledgeable. If your daughter marries him, she might become an official wife in the future." The matchmaker was bragging about the two taels of silver given by Zhou Jiuniang.
Su Shi said: "Then he is a scholar now? Or a Jinshi?"
The smile on the matchmaker's face suddenly froze, "That's not true, but when you take the exam later, that's it!"
"If he is not a scholar or a Jinshi, then he is a child?" The Su family does not necessarily want her daughter to be an official's wife in the future, but the matchmaker highlighted this aspect and praised it. It seems that this aspect is the most prominent.
The matchmaker chuckled and said, "Young Master Zhou is good at learning, it will only happen sooner or later."
"How old is Mr. Zhou?" Su still kept a smile on her face, but she had no idea about this family.
She is secretive when it comes to kissing her, and she doesn't look like a nice person.
The matchmaker grinned, "I'm just twenty this year."
"You're twenty years old and you haven't told me yet?" Su pretended to be surprised, but she couldn't help but feel contempt in her heart. She was twenty years old and was not even a child. Come to her and brag about your knowledge! Do you really think she is an ignorant country woman?
The matchmaker said: "Students all get married late, and my family is afraid that getting married too early will delay their studies!"
"Then you're not afraid of delaying your studies now?" Su Shi said.
The matchmaker said: "Isn't it the age to get married? Besides, if you have to take the exam in the future, you should have someone who knows how to take care of you, right?"
Su said euphemistically: "My daughter still wants to stay for a few more years, so Mr. Zhou's I'm afraid I can't afford to delay because of my age. Mr. Zhou, let's talk to someone else!"
"Your girl is not young anymore. She will become an old girl if she stays here." The matchmaker said, "This Mr. Zhou is really good. I missed it. It's a pity. If you ask me, just pick an auspicious day and settle down the marriage."
"Then I'll tell the truth. I'm afraid my girl is not suitable for Mr. Zhou. My girl was raised with pampering. On weekdays, the laundry and cooking are all left to servants. She can't do the menial work, and I can't bear to do it."
Mrs. Su got up and wrapped a parcel of inexpensive cakes for the matchmaker and said, "This is a marriage. It's not suitable. Please come over."
"How can a girl get married and not take care of the housework and take care of her husband?"
Seeing that the marriage was about to be ruined, Zhou Jiuniang was anxious and hurriedly advised: "Sister, you can't You are so spoiled to your daughter, you are so spoiled to your daughter, you are not treating her well, you are harming her!"
Su Shi originally wanted not to offend the matchmaker and send her away properly, but she didn't want anyone to be reluctant.
Her eyebrows rose: "Who are you? My own daughter, I will spoil you as much as I want, what does it have to do with you?"
Zhou Jiuniang took Su's hand and said sincerely: "I am Sister Zhou Jize, the eldest sister Listen to me, women are born to serve men, wash and cook, and honor their parents-in-law. You can't spoil your daughter. Can you still support her for the rest of your life? Even if you want to, can your son and daughter-in-law tolerate her? Son Yes, my wife is from outside!"
"Where did the wild dog come from to my house to stir up trouble?"
Jiang Tangtang just came back from outside and heard Zhou Jiuniang's long speech, and she suddenly said angrily: " Who says that women are born to serve men, and it's time to wash and cook? If you like to serve men, wash and cook, you can do it yourself and don't come to my house to bark. My girl needs to find someone who knows that she loves her. If she doesn't find the right one, I will take care of her for the rest of her life."
"Sister-in-law, you are so kind!" As soon as Jiang Tangtang finished speaking, Lu Zhixi threw herself into her arms like a swallow in the forest.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang's categorical statement, Zhou Jiuniang saw that the marriage could not be consummated, so she simply scolded: "I stand in the shop every day and sell my sex. If a man comes in and buys things, he can touch them. What's the big deal? You don't want to , my brother is not married yet!"
Jiang Tangtang pulled Lu Zhixi aside, walked over and slapped Zhou Jiuniang with his hand, "We are serious businessmen and cannot tolerate your foul mouth and slander! Kneel down and apologize, otherwise I'll send you to the Yamen right now!"
"Who slandered you? Who on the street doesn't know that your shop relies on you women to show their lust and attract customers in the shop?"
Zhou Jiuniang covered her face and said angrily: " You vixen, you want to open a brothel and open a flower house in Liuxiang. Don't come to the East Market to seduce men and ruin the market of our East Market! Get your old and young vixens out of here."
"Yes, yes, everyone, hurry up and get rid of this. A whole family of vixens were driven out! I don't know what fascinating things were put in the food, which made everyone run to her house again and again."
Wang Mingfeng was originally hiding in the dark to watch the fun. Seeing Zhou Jiuniang saying that the engagement was not done, she was just snickering. Seeing the two of them quarreling at this moment, he had an idea and stood up, saying loudly: "Don't let them suffer what they say. The cakes may have been made by vixens out of stones."
People in this era are superstitious and cakey. The food in the restaurant is really delicious. People have never eaten such delicious and novel pastries.
Wang Mingfeng's eloquent words about the fox demon really frightened many people.
The person who originally walked to the door and planned to buy something suddenly looked hesitant after hearing her words.
