Looking at the second aunt blocking the door, Zhang Wanniang wanted to frown, but she couldn't help it.

"Second sister-in-law Lin, aren't you busy today? How did it come? Zhang Wanniang asked with a smile, what is the guest, it's not good to slack off.

The second aunt poked her head into the courtyard, not knowing what she wanted to see, whether to see if Mei Zhongri was absent, or to see what was in the courtyard of Meiling.

Either way, it's a bit petty.

"I went to see relatives in the next village, and I happened to pass by, so I wanted to come and see you." As she spoke, she took out a small jar from her baggage, handed it to Zhang Wanniang and said, "This is a pickle made by my second girl, and I specially sent it for you to taste." ”

Zhang Wanniang's expression froze for a moment, didn't she tell the matchmaker? Let the euphemistic refusal, the matchmaker is not an unreliable person, and he also made it clear back and forth, what's wrong?

It stands to reason that since it doesn't work, it will be unpleasant if the two families don't say it, and it will definitely be difficult to continue to move around, what does Aunt Lin mean by this?

also took the pickles made by the second girl to her, will this be a little unreasonable? In a village, everyone knows the roots, there are many men in the Jin family, and there is indeed some silver, but it is impossible to take out three times the amount of silver at once.

Unless...... What else is behind them!

Mr. Sun's family is doing business and feels that honesty is very important, but there is another point that people who do business also attach great importance to, that is, they must not offend people with deep backgrounds.

He hesitated a little, thought for a while, and said, "I'm too old to be the master, so you go back and let me discuss with my son before answering you." ”

Seeing that his tone was loose, Jin Lao Er felt that there was a play, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll come to look for you tomorrow, but after this village, there will be no such shop, Sun Lao, you should make a decision early." ”

Old Man Sun clenched his fists at him and sent the person to the door.

Soon, the news that Jin Lao Er went to find Old Man Sun reached the Su family.

"Qingshan Niang, you have to be careful, I heard Jin Lao Er tell the boss of his family that he can't clean up the Su family this time, and he must not have a good heart, and he is holding back to do bad things." The daughter-in-law who came to report the news pulled Zhang and said.

The Zhang family is not a careless person, and the alarm bell is loud in his heart, but it is not too obvious, so he said to the visitor: "It's all from the same village, can the Jin family really get along with us?" What's more, this time is a major event in the imperial court, and they have to weigh their own catties. ”

The daughter-in-law who reported the news nodded, feeling reasonable, "What you said is reasonable, but be careful, I'll go back to work first, you pay attention to their movements." ”

"Thank you, don't you stay for a cup of tea?" Zhang asked.

The person who came was a fiery person, waved his hand and said no need, and then left like a gust of wind.

When Zhang entered the house, he pulled Su Song, who was still in pain, and said, "Jin Lao Er went to find Sun Lao, someone heard him say that if you clean up our house, you go out to inquire, what does the Jin family want to do?" ”

"How do I go and ask?" Su Song was worried, "Could it be that I should go to ask Sun Lao?" ”

"It's not impossible, you go and ask." Zhang pushed him.

Su Song got up, "Okay, I'll go." ”

The daughter-in-law has spoken, how can there be any reason not to obey? Su Song rubbed his head and went out because of the hangover.

On the other side of the Sun family, the old man Sun asked the eldest daughter-in-law to call the eldest son Sun Ti and the eldest grandson Sun Qi back from the ground.

Sun Qi is nineteen years old, with a dignified appearance, a strong body, and a good hand at farm work, and many people in the village have taken a fancy to him as a son-in-law.

But the Sun family didn't plan to give him a kiss in the village, not that he looked down on the girls in the village, but last year the Sun family intended to go south with the whole family, and the old man Sun felt that there was no need for the girl to marry into his family, and then separated from his relatives, and it would be difficult to visit his parents during the New Year's holidays in the future.

"Grandpa, do you know what I heard outside?" Sun Qi's face was excited, and his dark eyes were bright, revealing his good mood at the moment.

If it was in the past, Old Man Sun would definitely drink tea and listen to his eldest grandson tell his story slowly, anyway, he was idle and had nothing to do, and he was happy to chat with the younger generation.

But today, he was in no mood at all.

"I'll talk about it later, it's important for me to call you back." Immediately, he told his eldest son and eldest grandson what Jin Lao Er said when he came to the house.

"Jin Lao Er can suddenly give out so much silver, I'm afraid that there is someone behind him, and I'm afraid that we can't afford to offend." Old Man Sun sighed and said. Sun Qi mentioned that Mei Qingqian told a story, Mei was famous in Lu Village, everyone gave gifts, and the Sun family decided to talk about their conscience, even if they were unlucky, they would not help Jin Lao Er

Jin Lao Er looked for the master and made trouble to the county government

"Dad, then we can't agree to Jin Er, this is ruining our family's reputation." Sun Tan is an honest farmer, even if he wants to go south this time, he plans to continue farming in the south, and the juniors in the family can learn to do business with his younger brother, and he plans to dig and eat all his life.

"I didn't say that I promised Jin Er, otherwise why would I come back to you to discuss? I'm afraid that the people behind him can't afford to offend. Old Man Jin sighed and said.

Sun Ti's face was full of disapproval, "If you do this kind of immoral thing, no matter how powerful the people behind it are, they will capsize sooner or later, we are going south anyway, so we need to be afraid of these?" ”

Old Man Sun felt that what the eldest son said was reasonable, but in the end, it was not easy for the younger son to work hard for all these years, so he was afraid of causing trouble for him.

"Grandpa, Dad, listen to me first tell me about what you saw before you came back." Sun Qi didn't have such a solemn face as the two, but he still had a smile on his face.

"Okay, you say." Old Man Sun said patiently.

So Sun Qi told the story of Soho that he heard on the way back, and said that Soho and Mei Zhonghua insisted that it was the story that Mei Qingqian came up with.

Sun Ti listened with relish, and said excitedly: "When I was a child, I saw that little girl who was very timid, but I didn't expect that my mind was so delicate, and I could come up with such an interesting story, which is more interesting than the original legend of our village." ”

Sun Qi looked at Old Man Sun, "Grandpa, that is to say, if there is no Mei Qingqian's story, the court officials will not be able to pay attention to our village, let alone choose that piece of land, she has brought great benefits to our village, we can't pit her." ”

"Yes, our family is conscientious, not only can't we agree to Jin Er, but we also have to remind Su Song to let him be mentally prepared." Sun Ti said.

At this time, Su Song's call came from outside, and it was just the right time for Old Man Sun to nod and let Sun Qi go and welcome people in.

Mei Qingqian didn't know that a story of her would bring such a big turn for the better, and even many years later, there were legends about her in Lucun, for example, she was born smart, she could memorize the Book of Poetry at the age of three, and she could write at the age of five......

That's all for later.

Su Song listened to Old Man Sun's words, his expression was also a lot more solemn, and he solemnly bowed to the Sun family.
