"Oh, the matter of the silver is easy to deal with. Look, are you satisfied with my arrangement today? How about it? You've earned quite a bit of face, right?"

Yan Niang habitually waved the embroidered handkerchief around and began to size up Ergou's house. It was clean, generous, and proper. It didn't match with his wretched appearance. It was probably due to his mother cleaning up the house.

"Your village is quite poor. This carriage of mine has only seen this kind of tile house, not even a few floors."

"Yanniang, how about you say that I, Er Gouzi, am so poor that I can't afford a wife?" Wang Ergou said with a sullen face. He was doing pretty well, compared to the poor and resounding Xiao Clan, his Second Gou Zi's family was doing pretty well.

Looking at the questioning expression on his mother's face, if his mother knew that he had gone out to drink, she would have swept him, an unfilial son, out of the house with a broom.

Wang Ergou's mother could not help but interject, "Um … matchmaker right? Whose girl is he? "About that, you know that our family in the mountain is poor, so the betrothal gift is at most worth a dozen taels of silver. Take a look …"

She wouldn't mind this daughter-in-law that was sent to her doorstep, but if the betrothal gift was too high, she could only return the bride.

"This is Wang Ergou's mother, Aunt Wang, right? Sure, sure. Oh yeah, auntie, come over, I have something to tell you. "

Aunt Wang saw that Yan Niang was waving at her with a mysterious look, so she went over to hear the tiny voice saying, "Congratulations, Aunt Wang. You are finally embracing your grandson."

"Really?" When Aunt Wang heard this, she jumped in fright, then her eyebrows rose in happiness.

"Really, your Ergou-zi is really strong? "You've caused that girl's stomach to swell up, and that's not something that the girl should be responsible for. I've put my word here, now that that this girl has entered your house, you should treat her well."

Yan Niang whispered. Only the two of them could hear her in her soft voice.

Just as Yan Niang finished speaking, she saw Aunt Wang's excitement. She pulled Hei Ya's hands and said: "Um, young lady, what's your name? Don't stand here, quickly sit down."

"Ai, thank you Auntie." Hei Ya had a good impression of this house, this house was much stronger than hers. Although it was not rich, it had a lot of rooms, unlike their small house, where the few sisters squeezed into one room.

Although Ergou was a bit too wretched, it was still better than staying in the brothel to sell himself.

Seeing that the Wang Ergou was still standing there in a daze, Aunt Wang's face darkened. She shouted, "Second Gouzi, those who come are all guests. What are you standing there for?

"Oh." Ergouzi rubbed his nose and dejectedly went to the kitchen to get a kettle.

"Hei Ya, seeing how your mother-in-law has treated you so well, you can rest assured." Yan Niang said in satisfaction.

Seeing that Second Gou Zi had finished, he immediately pulled him aside. "How is it, Second Gouzi? I only sold you 15 taels of silver. I'm not being too polite, am I?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Yan Niang, you are so nice. Just wait and I will get you some money right away."

"Ergouzi, don't worry. The reason why I'm selling it so cheaply is because of the conditions?" Yan Niang pursed her red lips, showing off.

"What conditions? Say it, as long as Ergou can do it, I'll agree to all your conditions."

"Where did you get that whitening mud last time? You don't have to say, it's pretty useful. I'm preparing to buy a large batch for all the girls in the tower."

Yan Niang covered her mouth and secretly grinned. During this period of time, there would always be someone who would praise the girl's good skin and good touch.

"It's just this matter. It's simple, the whitening mud wants a bottle of it for 35 gold. It's not worth it for you to buy it like this, just buy their formula."

I heard that the Xiao family was looking for someone to buy the recipe? "You've come too well." Ergou rolled his eyes and came up with a good idea.

"So this is the property of the Xiao family. Where is the Xiao family? Quickly bring me to it." Yan Niang was extremely anxious. This was related to her path of money; it was normal for her to be anxious.

"Yanniang, there's no need to rush. It's almost time for lunch. We'll head to the Xiao family after eating. It's very close to our village."

"Alright, then I'll be eating at the Wang family's residence today. Ergouzi, you go and take the meat and fish from the carriage to the kitchen to cook." Yanniang had originally planned to have lunch.

"Momo, you're being too courteous. You even brought some food over." It seemed like they had come prepared. Wang Ergou was very busy and helped Aunt Wang in the kitchen.

This was different after marrying a wife. After looking forward to it for so many years, a huge burden in his heart finally fell to the ground. He could finally hug his grandson directly.

Wang Ergou's house was extremely lively at noon. After the villagers finished watching the commotion, they returned home for lunch and gossips. Very quickly, the news of Wang Ergou marrying a wife spread throughout the village.

At this moment, the Xiao family's kitchen was also busy cooking.

Luo Manman entered the kitchen and saw that Xiao Yiming had finished cooking, and there were three dishes on the table.

They consisted of a bowl of tomato egg soup, green melon fried meat, and a bowl of Red Braised Meat.

In the market, Luo Manman and Xiao Niang bought a lot of dishes, so the Xiao family's food for the past few days was extremely rich.

"Wife, fill the bowl with food. We can start eating soon."

Seeing the deliciousness of the stir-fried food, Luo Manman could not help but swallow her saliva. She had to admit that Xiao Yiming's culinary skills were better than hers.

As Luo Manman was filling up the rice, he asked again, "Where's Mother? It's already lunch time and there's no one around. "

"Yes, auntie went to wash the clothes early in the morning. She hasn't come back yet, so I'll go out and look for her."

Just as Luo Manman was about to go out, the Xiao Niang met him head-on. "It's so fragrant, the food has been prepared, it feels so good to be able to eat when I return home."

"Hur hur, Auntie is waiting for you to eat." Luo Manman laughed and gave her the rice and chopsticks.

Xiao Niang took it and immediately ate a few mouthfuls of rice with his rumbling stomach, "The taste is not bad. Our family's food for the past few days is really good, we can get straight to the point. Usually, the meat can't even be eaten a few times a year, it's all because of Manman's contributions.

"It was also done well. The dishes were so delicious."

"Oh right, do you know why I came back so late? I went to the Wang Ergou to watch the show. " Xiao Niang was also someone who couldn't hide his words. He had yet to finish his meal, and wanted to spit it out quickly.

Luo Manman paused for a moment and asked curiously: "Why is the Wang family so rowdy?"

"I wonder what great luck this Ergou-zi has gotten. There's actually a matchmaker who brought a bride straight to my doorstep. My goodness, his style is big enough. A bride's dowry is definitely worth it."

Isn't that obvious? The villagers all went to watch the show, and I was no exception. "

Xiao Niang's mouth was still open as she ate a few mouthfuls of rice. She was hungry too.

"Could it be that he lied and tricked her, causing the matchmaker to bring the girl to beg for responsibility?" Xiao Yiming blurted out the truth in an unrelenting manner.

The three of them went back to their own business. Xiao Niang continued to busy himself with embroidery, Xiao Yiming continued to busy himself with the wood work, and Luo Manman continued to wash the dishes on the stove.

At this moment, he heard a commotion in the courtyard. Ergouzi brought a few people to look for him: "Xiao Yiming, come out. There's something good looking for you."

When Luo Manman heard the voice of the Wang Ergou, her entire being turned sour.

Seeing that no one was coming out, the Wang Ergou shouted again, "Xiao Yiming, are you home or not, come out quickly."

"What's it called at noon?" Xiao Niang put down the embroidery on the table and walked out unhappily.

Didn't Wang Ergou marry a wife this morning? Logically speaking, the Xiao family should be very busy at home. Could it be that the Xiao family came to give out wedding sweets? Yes or no, Xiao Niang had guessed half of it.

Seeing Xiao Niang appear, the Wang Ergou welcomed him with a smile and handed him a bag of candy. "Xiao Niang, bless me.

"Sigh, alright. Ergouzi, congratulations on getting married and coming over to deliver the sugar. You're being too polite." Xiao Niang laughed as he received the candy. Naturally, he picked up the topic.

At this time, Luo Manman quickly came out when she heard the commotion. She saw the happy smile on Wang Ergou's face and thought that it was not fake, but he intentionally came to deliver the candy.

Luo Manman's voice was as clear and pleasant as a spring stream in summer.

Yan Niang who was at the side had long noticed Luo Manman's appearance, and stared at her fiercely: "Aiyo, this girl is truly handsome, her skin is as good as a peeled egg, and her eyes are watery."

Yan Niang had seen many great beauties before. Although this beauty in front of her was not the best, she was still better than her pure appearance. Each and every one of her actions were filled with a natural beauty.

Although the girls in her building were too beautiful, they were lacking in natural beauties.

Unfortunately, he heard from Ergou that this girl was already married. Otherwise, he would have to use her indestructible tongue to persuade her to marry him.

Hearing the charming voice, Luo Manman was displeased in her heart. She felt that the voice was very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before, but she was unable to recall where.

Looking towards the direction of the voice, the owner of the voice had a plain face. It was about thirty years old, and it still retained its charm.

However, the skin on his face was full of holes, which affected his overall beauty. It was probably because he had used a lot of rouge water powder that his skin was bad.

In addition to her silk clothing, she was probably one of the wealthiest families in the town. But why did Ergou bring her here? Was she the so-called matchmaker?

"You came here to buy whitening mud?" Luo Manman thought about it and came to this conclusion.

"This girl is really smart, yes, I'm here to buy the recipe."

If she knew that Luo Manman was the Hei Niu that she had beaten up and scolded as a failure, how would she feel about it?

"Alright, since we're guests, let's talk inside." Luo Manman welcomed the three into the house, Yan Niang followed by her attendant also entered the house.
