Chapter 354: Where the Silver Comes From
After sleeping for a long time, when Li Muyao and Erya got up again, they saw that Honghua had already prepared her washing things and stood by the door waiting for them in a regular manner.
Erya yawned while dressing herself, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything going on outside?"
Li Muyao stretched his waist, and his movements were faster than Erya, three or two of them solved their clothes and put on their shoes on the ground!
Seeing the two of them get up, Honghua hurriedly entered the door, and whispered while helping to wash: "In the morning, the prefect's wife invited a matchmaker, saying that it was for the eldest lady and the eldest son of the prefect's family!
Erya pouted, "She used means to get it, and finally people agreed to marry, can she still agree? But this prefect's wife is obedient to this eldest son, and he says that he can marry whoever he wants? It's only been a few days, and she can let the prefect's wife find someone to propose marriage, is this her own mother?"
Li Muyao also nodded, even if that Liu Gongzi is loved by his family again, this kind of thing can't let him say what it is?
One is the son of the prefect's family, and the other is the young lady of the master's family, this is not an ordinary household, the class division in this era is very strict, is this prefect's family so open?
If the prefect's wife sees that her son likes it, she can find Boss Li and ask him to give her daughter to her son as a concubine, can Boss Li object?
Even if it's because of the struggle of the eldest son of the prefect's family, it will take some time, it's only been two days, and even the matchmaker has been found so quickly, why does this matter seem so strange?
Honghuabian handed the handkerchief to Li Muyao, and said: "Listening to the person in front, the matchmaker was very polite when he came, not only said that the eldest lady was in heaven and earth, but also praised Zhou's family, and Zhou's family is still floating now!"
"This is strange!" Erya looked at Li Muyao, "This matchmaker will say a lot of good things to people, although she will say a lot of good things about both sides, but after all, the man is the prefect's family, and he still needs some face, the matchmaker is so low, I think she was informed by the prefect's wife, otherwise she would be so flattering to the Zhou family?"
The Zhou family has no name in the Li family, even if the Mei family does not come forward, but the people below are only obedient to the Zhou family on the surface, and some of them chew the root of their tongues behind their backs! Not to mention the role of a matchmaker, who walks the streets and alleys every day, she has never seen anyone, and the good face of the Zhou family is only for the face of the silver.
But she actually praised Li Mushi and Zhou so much, can there be no explanation here, to say that this kind of character with exquisite heart can't figure out the relationship inside, Li Muyao is the first to not believe it, it can only be the prefect's wife's explanation, but why did the prefect's wife do this?
Honghua simply accepted the washing things, and combed the hair of the two of them first! While casually said: "This is not all, I heard that the matchmaker asked people to bring a lot of gifts, saying that the prefect's wife brought them, but there are a lot of good things, several men have carried them all the way from the prefect's house, but they are very swaggering!
Erya also muttered in a low voice: "What does this prefect want? Is it still so high-profile to propose marriage to the daughter of his master? Isn't it marrying a princess, as for it? Zhou didn't take Qiao, if he doesn't agree, the prefect's face will be gone?"
The sentence of marrying a son made Li Muyao's mind shine, and she looked at Erya and said in a strange voice: "Do you think they will find out Zhao Zhong's identity like Mei's?" Marrying Li Mushi is secondary, and showing Zhao Zhong is the key?"
Hearing this, Erya almost jumped up, and didn't care about the half-combed hair, and exclaimed: "Oh! This must be the case! Since the Mei family can recognize Zhao Zhonglai, then as a magistrate, there will be no one around him who has eyesight? It is not normal to recognize Zhao Zhong, if this prefect is originally from the capital, then it is possible that his family knows Zhao Zhong!"
Li Muyao was not as excited as Erya, although he was also shocked when he thought of this possibility at first, but he quickly calmed down, Li Mushi is the daughter of the Li family after all, and it is not a bad thing for him to really marry into the prefect's family, but he wants to connect with the royal family through her?
But having the prefect protecting Boss Li can also make Boss Li more stable, if you really want to target Boss Li, then it will be easier to have the prefect's line!
The prefect wants to use himself to get close to the royal family, but why can't he use them in reverse? I don't know what the future will be like in the future, how do I know if I will use them in the future with more chess pieces and more help?
Erya was still yelling angrily: "These people are too much, they want to take advantage of us? Do you think that if you let Li Mushi marry into the prefect's family, you can intersect with Zhao Zhong? What are we? Li Mushi and the Zhou family want to take advantage of our momentum to provoke themselves! They want to blind their hearts! Do you want to take advantage of me?"
Li Muyao shook her head with a smile, pressed Erya back to the chair, and asked Honghua to continue to comb her hair, before she suddenly jumped up and kept screaming, so scared that Honghua didn't dare to move her, and when she saw that her hair was about to be combed and spread out again, she dared to squeak.
Li Muyao said: "It's just an exchange of interests, the prefect wants to contact Zhao Zhong, how do you know that Zhao Zhong doesn't want to accept the prefect's kindness? That's their own business, you don't have to worry!"
Erya's face was still not very good, but she didn't jump up again, and honestly let Honghua comb her hair, Li Muyao casually grabbed her hair and made it look like a small ball!
Said to Erya soothingly: "Didn't you say that there are many people in the city, and there are many opportunities to make money? After that, there is nothing to do, why don't you go with Zhao Zhong to see if you can find some good business to make money, since the prefect has extended an olive branch, then you don't collect some silver, isn't it a loss?"
Erya frowned deeply, her face was full of seriousness, she only thought about being used before, and she was angry when she patronized it, but she didn't expect it to be beneficial, and she had told Zhao Zhong before that she wanted to get a few shops in the city, and Zhao Zhong was also very interested, just because of the Li family's affairs.
If the prefect really took refuge in Zhao Zhong, even if he couldn't fully trust him politically, let him help take care of the shop, and he would definitely do his best!
The more I think about it, the brighter Erya's eyes will become, which is a good way! Since the prefect wants to climb up through Zhao Zhong, wouldn't it be fair for him to help earn money?
Seeing that Erya and Li Muyao didn't speak anymore, it was Honghua who had nothing to do because she had done her hair for Erya, and suddenly thought of something, so she glanced at the two of them and whispered:
"I forgot to say it, Mrs. sent someone to find the two young ladies before, but the two young ladies were resting, and the second lady didn't let anyone disturb her, but she promised Madame that as soon as the two young ladies woke up, they would go to greet her!"
