Chapter 57
It was rare for Shen Junchuan to ask the traveling merchant to meet in a restaurant outside so solemnly, and the traveling merchant thought that Shen Junchuan wanted to save private money and it was not easy for Lin Zhiyun to know, so he asked him to talk about a small business outside.
Who knew that Shen Junchuan actually came to tell him the matchmaker, and there was such a good thing in the world? When he heard that the object that Shen Junchuan was going to tell him was actually Shen Junyao, You Shang was even more shocked.
"Don't you think I'm too old?"
Although he usually has a brother Shen, he is actually half a year older than Shen Junchuan!
"It's really older, but my mother believes that it will hurt people when you're older, if you don't hurt my sister, you'll die by then."
The first person to nod his head on this matter was actually Shen Junchuan, but he wouldn't admit it. If he admits it, the merchant will think that he is satisfied with him, and how will he stand up for himself at that time?
"It turns out that Aunt He is also satisfied with me?" The wanderer's eyes lit up.
He originally didn't have much confidence in this marriage, but if He also agreed, then he would be a little more sure.
"Huh." Shen Junchuan didn't want to admit it, but when it came to the traveling businessman, He was indeed satisfied.
Shen Junchuan has certain ambitions for the future, but He feels that such a day is already very good. Therefore, if she chooses a husband for Shen Junyao, she will never consider Xiucai officials or anything, which is not the right door for her, and it is easy to quarrel in the future.
And the traveling merchant knows the roots for her, although there are no relatives in the family, but this means that Shen Junyao will not have to be tortured by her mother-in-law in the future. Although He has a weak personality and has never said a bad word about her mother-in-law, she is not without opinions about Mrs. Shen.
Therefore, the fact that the traveling merchant has no father, no mother and no brother may not be good in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of the He family, it is very good. has a brother and a parent, just look at her husband who was angry to death.
You Shang didn't know why He was satisfied with him, but because He was satisfied, he had a lot of confidence. He also felt that he had no fixed place to live, and it was not suitable for delaying such a good girl, and no parent was willing to give his daughter to a man like him. But if everyone is willing to believe him, why can't he fight for the girl he likes?
"If Aunt He agrees, then I'll ......" You Shang paused, looked up at Shen Junchuan and asked embarrassedly, "What does Brother Shen want me to do?" ”
"Do you want me to teach you this little thing? You don't think about it yourself? Shen Junchuan raised his eyebrows, "If you are so stupid, then I don't dare to hand over my sister to you." ”
"Hehe, I'm thinking, I'm thinking." You Shang scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "Miss Yao is still young, it will take at least two years to get married, and I will prepare a dowry for her in the next two years." In addition to the dowry, the house is also very important, but I don't have a fixed house to live in, and it is time to build one. Although I'm not from Huaihua Village, it should be easy to settle in Huaihua Village, right? ”
"Are you going to settle in Huaihua Village?"
"Yes, I can see that Miss Yao is reluctant to leave Brother Shen. And I am an orphan without a father or mother, and I live the same everywhere, so it is better to live closer to you. Besides, I'm not doing business with my sister-in-law right now? Living closer, it is convenient to get the goods and calculate the money. I don't know if there is any vacant land near Brother Shen's house that can be sold? ”
"I'll go back and help you ask the village chief about this." Shen Junchuan said lightly.
"Okay, then it's troublesome Brother Shen."
You Shang listened to Shen Junchuan's words, and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground, since Shen Junchuan was willing to help him inquire, it means that Shen Junchuan also agreed to this marriage in his heart.
Although he felt that he was not worthy of such a good little girl now, he still had two years to work hard and try to make up for what he failed to do first, and one day he would be worthy of her.
Over the years, he has actually saved a lot of private money, and marrying a daughter-in-law is completely enough, but because he wants to marry his favorite little girl, he suddenly feels that his private money is not enough, and he needs to earn more.
And he wants to build a house next to Shen Junchuan's house, and that house must not be much worse than the Shen family, otherwise the people in the village will definitely point fingers, and Shen Junyao will not be able to raise his head at that time.
It seems that the leisure days are going to be far away from him, and in addition to helping Lin Zhiyun sell cloth, he has to do something else during this time.
After Shen Junchuan left, the traveling merchant went into the mountains to hunt geese. The wandering merchant did not know how to hunt, so he paid for an old hunter in the mountains to teach him. He has average talent in this area, and the old Orion has not taught for a long time, so he is suddenly anxious.
"Since you young man has this money, just buy two geese with me, why do you have to do it yourself?"
You Shang said embarrassedly: "I also know that it is difficult for you to let you teach me to hunt, I am a little stupid in this regard, I may need to learn a few more days, I hope you don't mind." In the end, I want to propose marriage, so naturally I have to catch it with my own hands, so as to be sincere enough. ”
"It turned out to be for proposing, and the young man has a heart." The old hunter was a little disapproving, "There are more people in this world who need to raise their relatives to hunt wild geese, but not everyone is beaten by themselves, as long as you don't say it, no one will know about it if I don't say it." ”
"But I can't help it, since I like him, I have to give him the best." You Shang insisted.
"Hey, what a dead-eyed young man, blessed is the girl you fancied." Old Orion thought to himself, this is a young man, who can spend so much time for a woman, but for his persistence, it is also worthy of admiration.
"No, it's my blessing to be able to marry her." You Shang felt that he had burned high incense for eight lifetimes to marry such a good daughter-in-law.
"Okay, you are blessed, you are blessed, I will not fight with you for this." The old hunter waved his hand helplessly, "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be the day after tomorrow, I have made an appointment to go out hunting with other hunters, so I can't continue to teach you, you see that in the past two days, you will either find someone else first, or wait until three days later to come to me." ”
Although the old hunter felt that the wanderer was a little stupid, the wanderer was generous, and he was still unwilling to let go of such a wronged man. This is enough money for the traveling merchant for three days of hunting, and if he hadn't made an appointment with the other hunters a long time ago, he really didn't want to leave now.
You Shang smiled: "I'm not a half-person, and I am willing to learn from you for a few more days by borrowing your face." Since you don't have time for the past three days, I'll do other things first, and I'll come back to you in three days, hoping that you won't think I'm too stupid at that time. ”
"Hahaha, don't worry, old man, I'm not like that." The old hunter thought to himself, a stupid young man like Youshang, he still wants to have a few more, so that he can make money quickly, and the more stupid he is, the more he earns.
So how could he dislike the stupidity of the traveling businessman? The dumber he is, the more he likes it.
The next day, because the old hunter was not available, the traveling merchant went to Huaihua Village to buy land with the village chief. To the east of Shen Junchuan's house is Zhang's carpenter's house, and the vacant land to the west is still empty, and it is the vacant land to the west that the traveling merchant is looking at.
The vacant land is not completely empty, and if you want to buy a house on it, you have to cut down a small forest, which requires a lot of capital.
Village Chief Liu is a kind-hearted person, although he is happy to see someone buy land, he also does not want to see others being wronged.
"It's a happy event that the merchant wants to settle in our Huaihua Village, but you don't need to choose such a place." Village Chief Liu pointed to the map and said, "Look at this land, this land is also empty, close to the paddy fields, close to the mountains, it is very convenient for you to go anywhere." ”
You Shang took a casual look and found that it was indeed a good piece of land close to everywhere, but it was not close to Shen Junchuan's house. Therefore, no matter how good this land is, the traveling merchants are not interested.
"Don't worry about me, village chief, I know all of this, in short, I won't suffer."
It doesn't cost a little more money to buy the land next to Shen Junchuan's house, but if he buys a good piece of land so far away, no matter how much benefit he has, it will become an inconvenient disadvantage for him to find Shen Junyao.
Although Village Chief Liu was still worried, he still approved him, after all, the traveling merchant is a businessman, he should know how he is at a loss, how not to suffer, maybe he is a layman, he really doesn't understand?
The piece of land that the traveling merchant wanted was not smaller than the one that Shen Junchuan bought at the beginning, but because he had to cut down trees and pull out weeds, it was much more troublesome than Shen Junchuan's piece of land, so Village Chief Liu appropriately reduced the price for him. Although the traveling merchant was not short of these money, he could save as a businessman, so he unceremoniously accepted the kindness of Village Chief Liu.
He didn't take advantage of it in vain, and the gift he gave to Village Chief Liu was not light, and it had long exceeded the money he had saved.
After buying the land, the traveling merchant asked again: "Is it troublesome to settle down in the village?" ”
Village Chief Liu smiled: "If you buy all the land, what's the trouble, leave the rest to me." By the way, are you free tomorrow? I'll go with you to the county office. ”
"Naturally, I am free, thank you to the village chief for being willing to help." You Shang hurriedly said.
"There's nothing to thank for, that's what I'm supposed to do. Our Huaihua Village is not a wealthy place, let alone settled down over the years, even if you originally lived here, you have moved out a lot, I am very happy that you are willing to come. In the future, if you have any needs, come to me directly, that is, as long as I can help, I will definitely help. Village Chief Liu said happily.
You Shang smiled: "Then I'm welcome?" ”
"Hahaha, don't be too polite, I can see that you have a good relationship with Chuanzi. The circle is one of the best descendants in our village, and if you have a good relationship with him, I can naturally trust you. ”
"It turns out that I was stained with Brother Shen's light." The merchant smiled.
He hasn't really become a family with others, and he has already been stained with the light of others. You Shang felt that this feeling was also very good, but he didn't know how Shen Junchuan would feel when he found out.
You Shang felt that the village chief was also very good, if there were such people in Huaihua Village, then he was willing to take root in Huaihua Village for the rest of his life.
He didn't have any feelings for Huaihua Village before, but now he gradually fell in love with this village because of the Shen family, because of this Liu Village Chief, and the Huaihua flowers that bloom in Huaihua Village every year.
