Chapter 175: Door-to-door proposal
"Don't talk about our village, it's all spread in the town. Zhao Hong, although we are old, we don't care about those false reputations, but I think this thing is wrong? Zhou Xinghua couldn't figure it out, so she simply asked.
Even Zhou Xinghua could see that something was wrong, and Zhao Hong also found out that something was wrong.
This rumor spread fast enough and outrageous enough, but Zhao Hong is a mother-in-law, and she can't ruin her reputation at all.
And to whom is this rumor itself beneficial?
Thinking of Zhu Dayou's eyes when he left, Zhao Hong shivered, except for Zhu Dayou's handwriting, Zhao Hong didn't make a second guess.
"I don't know about this matter, it's better to be sparse, and when the big guy has passed enough, I won't talk about it if I feel bored. As long as I don't show up, it's useless for anyone to guess anything. Zhao Hong said with a dark face.
In her previous life, because she ate an entertainment melon, she actually wore the soul she ate, and this time it was someone else's turn to eat her melon, is this a causal cycle?
"Then it doesn't matter?" Zhou Xinghua was unwilling.
Zhao Hong was at home for a good time, but when there was such a thing, Zhou Xinghua panicked for Zhao Hong.
"If your mouth grows on someone else, can you still plug it? You don't follow the rush anymore, it's almost the New Year, and when everyone is busy, who has time to say this? ”
"Besides, it's cat winter, every family is busy looking at each other's relatives, and there are many daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law, and my half-hundred-year-old wife will soon be no longer talking." Zhao Hong said calmly.
The news about this may have been spread by Zhu Dayou, and Zhao Hong has no evidence now, and saying it can't solve any problems except for making Zhou Xinghua anxious.
And if Zhu Dayou really has such a mind, it is nothing more than coming to Fangzi.
Since Zhu Da has no intention of robbing, no matter what means he uses, Zhao Hong is not afraid, he can't just grab a kiss with a sedan chair.
But what Zhao Hong didn't expect was that Zhu Dayou was even more shameless than she thought.
Under the guise of quelling the rumors, under the pretext of being good for Zhao Hong, he came in advance with great fanfare.
Of course, Zhu Dayou didn't show up himself, but asked a matchmaker to come to the door, probably because he wanted to try Zhao Hong's tone, but he didn't want to lose face if he couldn't get off the stage.
"Congratulations to Mrs. Zhao, at our age, there are high-ranking families like Master Zhu who are willing to marry. This Master Zhu really fell in love with Mrs. Zhao, not to mention the generous dowry, there was no slack in etiquette, Mrs. Zhao is blessed! ”
The matchmaker said endlessly, probably meaning that Zhao Hong had fallen into the pile of blessings, and he should be grateful to Master Zhu.
originally thought that someone had come to propose marriage to Zhao Lingxiu, but Zhao Hong let people in the door, and the mouth of the ancient matchmaker could not be offended.
But with the matchmaker's words, Zhao Hong's face became more and more ugly, and he couldn't even hang up his professional smile.
The matchmaker who was partial to life decided that this family affair could be successful, and she didn't look at Zhao Hong's face at all, and the spittle she said was flying.
Zhao Lingxiu in the house couldn't help but hold the broom, as long as Zhao Hong gave an order, she left home and kicked this matchmaker out of the house.
"Mrs. Zhao, is this the right thing to do?" After talking for too long and not getting a response, the matchmaker realized that something was wrong.
Whether you want to or not, you should make a clear statement, at least take a stubble, right?
"Are you sure you're here to propose to me?" Zhao Hong asked with a smile, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes.
"Yes, yes." The matchmaker subconsciously swallowed her saliva, only to feel that Zhao Hong's smile was a little wrong.
"The number one medicinal herb merchant in Fucheng who wants to propose to me, Zhu Dayou?" Zhao Hong asked again, the curvature of the corners of his mouth widened a little, but with a sense of danger.
"No, that's right." The matchmaker's hand that was about to hold the teacup retracted, and her confidence was a little lacking.
"How much benefit?" Zhao Hong asked again.
"Thank you for the matchmaker's gift of twenty taels, and there will be twenty taels after the matter is completed." The matchmaker made no secret of it.
"Get out of here, I'll act like I've never heard of anything. I'll give you another fifty taels, and tell Master Zhu that I, Zhao Hong, have no intention of remarrying, even if I don't think about it. It's not aimed at anyone, but I, Zhao Hong, want to live the rest of my life alone. Zhao Hong's tone did not change, and he threw the teacup on the table, no longer looking at the matchmaker's big white face as if he had been buried in a noodle bag.
The matchmaker was stunned for a while, reached out to touch the money bag on the table, and after making sure that there was really fifty taels of silver in it, she asked uncertainly: "What did Mrs. Zhao mean just now, is she disagreeing with this family business?" ”
"Disagree." Zhao Hong replied clearly.
"Why?" The matchmaker subconsciously asked rhetorically, and said incredibly: "That's the richest man in Fucheng, Master Zhu, although Mrs. Zhao makes a lot of money a year, it's nothing compared to the main family." Mrs. Zhao, if you miss this village, there will be no such shop! ”
Zhao Hong closed his eyes, concealed his boredom, and suppressed his anger together.
really knocked the matchmaker out of the door, that broken mouth might say something ugly, Zhao Hong didn't want to affect his children and grandchildren.
"I'm not short of silver, I have what I should have, this age to marry, do I find myself happy? Hurry up and bring what I just said to Master Zhu, and the fifty taels are yours. If you dare to make up a sentence about me, you should know my ability, at least secretly ruin your fortune, and you can still do it for a lifetime. ”
Zhao Hong didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, so he simply threatened the matchmaker.
Although Zhao Hong doesn't have that ability, some things can be artificial, and it is not difficult to deal with a matchmaker, but it takes a little effort.
The matchmaker looked down at the silver in her arms, although these fifty taels are very rare, but if this family business is done, it can be blown for a lifetime, and it will be easier to talk about matchmaking in the future.
But Zhao Hong's ability, the matchmaker has indeed heard of it, and she is still stunned.
Seeing that the matchmaker didn't leave, Zhao Lingxiu said angrily: "Don't you understand what my mother said?" If you don't want the silver, you can put it there, it really makes my mother unhappy. You will wait for the rest of your life to suffer, maybe your children and grandchildren will be unlucky with you! ”
Zhao Lingxiu's words were very serious, and the matchmaker was frightened, and hurriedly said: "Then I'll pass the word?" ”
Seeing that the matchmaker was still not giving up, Zhao Hong nodded with a cold face, not wanting to entangle with the matchmaker again.
"What's going on! Don't have such a good marriage, but the days of a good household slave calling a maid are not enough, but I also offended the nobles......" The matchmaker didn't dare to speak loudly, and went out muttering.
Zhao Lingxiu was dissatisfied and wanted to teach the matchmaker a lesson, but was stopped by Zhao Hong.
"It's easy to beat her, but her mouth goes out and is foolish, who do you think suffers?" Zhao Hong was not in a good mood, and said to Zhao Lingxiu: "You go and call Zhao Ji, and let him follow the matchmaker to see how Zhu Dayou reacts." ”
"What if Zhu Da wants to take revenge on his mother?" Zhao Lingxiu was more worried about this.
Zhu Dayou has been to the house twice, Zhao Lingxiu was present, but his mother didn't do anything unruly, so why did she have to come to the door to ask for marriage?
Zhao Lingxiu didn't know Zhu Dayou's plans at all, but he felt that this person was very weird, and he was afraid that he would be rejected and do something unfavorable to Zhao Hong.
The Zhao family now has a net worth, but this bit of family property cannot be compared with Zhu Dayou at all.
"If he wants my formula, it means that my recipe is useful. In that case, then find someone more powerful than him and press him down. The leader of the medicinal herb merchant has never stipulated who should be allowed to do it, he Zhu Da can do it, and he has others who can do it. Zhao Hong sneered.
I had been thinking about letting Mr. Han's friends in the capital be backers, but the current situation may not wait for Mr. Han to come back.
Then, you can only make a bloody investment, and it is much better not to be forced by Zhu Dayou to get on the sedan chair.
