Two days later, the Xu family took Wen Ning to the town to visit the Chen family, who was a small businessman and had a better family background than the Ye family. Seeing that the Xu family was coming to the Chen family to see the man's appearance, the Chen woman's face was dark and gloomy, and she had a straight face, and she was reluctant to let Xu and Wen Ning enter the door of the Chen family.

Mrs. Chen drank tea by herself, did not serve tea to Xu and Wen Ning, and snorted coldly to express her dissatisfaction.

Wen Ning didn't care about this, she came here to find out the situation, so Wen Ning asked directly, "Mrs. Chen, we want to see your son, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Have you figured it out? We are using money to buy your girl, not to marry your family, what are you doing here? Do you have to see it if you want to see it? It's not just that you have a girl in your family, I have fifteen taels of silver, and you can buy it from another family. ”

When Xu heard this, he was afraid that the Chen family would not be angry, so he hurriedly said, "Mrs. Chen, don't be angry, I am a village woman who doesn't know anything, and she came here all of a sudden, or we will leave, if you don't look at it, you can buy my family's big bang." ”

"Hmph, it's good to know the situation, and you dare to come to see my son, what qualifications do you have?"

Wen Ning was not slow or anxious, and said, "Just because my husband is a talent, a farmer and a businessman, and a businessman is a ninth-rate business, and my husband is a high-grade scholar, now if your son marries a girl from my Ye family, and my husband wins the promotion, your Chen family can climb the relationship with the official family for no reason, don't you think you are less than fifteen taels?" ”

"You ......" Chen Nu was speechless, because Wen Ning's words made her feel enlightened, she really didn't think that the Ye family still had this potential value before.

"Mrs. Chen, fifteen taels can indeed buy a girl from others, but I have never heard that fifteen taels of silver can be related to the official family."

"You...... How much do you want? ”

"We have to see the noble son before we can make a bid."

Mrs. Chen hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed softly and said, "I won't tell you anything, my son is sick, his health is not good, and he has been bedridden for many years. ”

"Don't worry, we have roughly guessed this, now our Ye family is also short of silver, one is poor and two are white, and the family is surrounded by four walls, so we have to sell Da Hao, we naturally will not have high conditions."

"In that case, I'll take you there."

Chen Nu put down the teacup and walked to the front first, followed by Xu and Wen Ning. Xu took advantage of Mrs. Chen's inattention, and quietly gave Wen Ning a thumbs up, praising Wen Ning's performance, a simple-minded person like Xu who only knows money has no judgment, and will only measure a person by how much money he makes.

But that's fine, people like Xu can easily control her as long as they grasp her weaknesses.

Wen Ning secretly laughed in her heart.

It didn't take long for Mrs. Chen to take Wen Ning and the Xu family to the outside of a room, Mrs. Chen gently opened the window and said, "Just watch here, he has just finished drinking medicine and resting at this moment, and going in will disturb him." ”

Wen Ning nodded lightly, and looked through the window There was indeed a man lying on the bed, this man was as thin as Da Hao, which could be described as skinny, his face was pale, and his lips were no longer bloody.

Half an hour later, Mrs. Chen closed the window, "You have also seen people, how is it?" ”

Wen Ning responded, "Twenty taels of silver, do you think it's okay?" ”

"I don't have any problems here, but I won't be able to give you an answer until his father comes back and discusses it."

"It's okay, we're not in a hurry, we'll go back first today."

"Okay."

Out of the Chen family, Xu couldn't help but boast, "The fortune teller used to say that you are the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, and it is true, I earned an extra five taels of silver for our family by running a trip today, which is really capable." ”

"It's still my mother's teaching on weekdays, so I understand this."

"Haha, this little mouth is really good at talking, and I can rest assured that the Ye family will take care of it for you in the future."

"This can't be done, how can the Ye family be controlled without a mother? Firewood, rice, oil and salt are all money in it, and the loss over the years is my mother's loss, otherwise how could our Ye family squeeze out this more silver for my husband to study? ”

Wen Ning's words suddenly came to Xu's heart, Xu's has been picking for a lifetime and saving decades, and this full of hard work is finally understood, and I feel relieved in my heart. Xu Shi took Wen Ning's hand with satisfaction, and said earnestly, "Xiao Ning still understands me, the old man in the family grows crops and earns a dozen taels of silver a year, the eldest leaves early, the second son spends a lot of money every month to study, and the third son can't earn a few coppers all year round, otherwise I am here, this family would have been dispersed long ago." ”

"It's really my mother's credit, my mother is a good housekeeper, and I have always regarded my mother as my role model!"

Along the way, Wen Ning praised the Xu family as a saint's godmother, and coaxed the Xu family to be full of joy.
