The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

The matchmaker was good at observing people's words. When she saw Mrs. Meng frowning, she knew that Mrs. Meng was dissatisfied with both the daughter of the Jin family and the daughter of the Zhao family. She suddenly felt a bit of contempt in her heart and said in her heart: It's just that your son has no future, so why not? I have been married three times, and now I am a grandfather, and I am not young anymore. It would be nice to have a good girl who is willing to marry, but you are still here to pick and choose.

However, the matchmaker did not want to continue looking. Now she had found these two women after searching for a long time. For the daughters of other families, either their parents did not want to marry their daughters to Uncle Meng, or their daughters did not want to marry Meng Meng. My uncle, it was hard to find a daughter from two families who was willing to be a stepmother for several children of that age in the Meng family, and she was also a daughter from an official family.

The matchmaker continued: "Old madam, the Jin family daughter and the Zhao family daughter are both gentle and virtuous women, and they look good. If you want someone younger, then the Jin family daughter. If you want someone mature and stable, then the Zhao family daughter. A girl is good, what do you think?"

Mrs. Meng was dissatisfied with both of them and asked: "Matchmaker Zhang, besides them, are there any other girls?"

The matchmaker said truthfully: "Old madam, to tell you the truth, with Uncle Meng's current reputation, it is really difficult to find a better girl. There are rumors outside that Uncle Meng's marriage is weak, and it is impossible to grow old together if you marry him. Many No parent wants to marry their daughter to him.”

Mrs. Meng was depressed. Why was her son's marriage so weak? Can a weak marriage marry three wives? Now, she doesn't like either of these two women. They marry into their Meng family with a moron, and their family has to raise children.

The matchmaker glanced at her and said: "Old madam, I think it is good to recruit a daughter. Zhao is gentle, virtuous, and good at running the house. Her daughter is fourteen this year and will be able to get married next year. She is not a child, so she needs People are worried. Jin’s son is only five years old, so he probably has a lot to worry about.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Meng was stunned for a moment, her thoughts changed rapidly, and then her eyes lit up.

Compared with Jin's son who can divide the family property, Zhao's fourteen-year-old daughter is not unacceptable. Anyway, he can marry her off after another year of raising her, and daughters are used for marriage.

Ayao married the Marquis of Changxing. Although the eldest uncle did not help the Meng family, the status of the Meng family also improved. Ayu married Deng Yuanqing, a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou. The second uncle could not help the Meng family in their career, but they could be filial to the Meng family. Now the Meng family is not as tight as last year. With the addition of a daughter from the Zhao family, making good use of this marriage can bring some benefits to the Meng family.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng said: "It would be a pity if we miss this gentle and virtuous woman. It's just that it's hard to be a stepfather. I'm also a little worried that the child has a bad temper and won't obey discipline. If my son treats the child more harshly in the future, he will end up like this." He has a reputation of being harsh to his stepsons and stepdaughters, and if he does not discipline them, he will be derelict in his duties as a father.”

The matchmaker heard the elegance and understood that Mrs. Meng wanted to get off the stairs, so she immediately passed the stairs wisely: "Old madam, don't worry, I have met Zhao's daughter, she is a sensible child, and Jin's son is also very sensible. ”

Mrs. Meng pretended to ponder for a moment and said: "Then let's go with the Zhao family. My son's age is not much different. The Jin family is more than ten years younger than my son, so I guess he is not calm enough."

After hearing this, the matchmaker also knew what Mrs. Meng had planned. She didn't want to find someone to take care of her son. The family property would be divided in the future. Those who took care of her daughter would not need to divide the property. Moreover, the daughter would be old enough to marry next year. It would be an eyesore if she stayed at home. Just stay for a year.

The matchmaker said: "Since the old lady thinks the Zhao family is good, let me go and reply to the Zhao family?"

Although Mrs. Meng chose the Zhao family, it does not mean that the decision will be made immediately. She said: "No hurry, I will send someone to check the Zhao family first. If there is no problem with the Zhao family, then the marriage can be made."

"It's prudent."

The matchmaker nodded, and her smile became more genuine. She was finally getting the matchmaker's money. Although the Meng family was in decline, they had the Marquis of Changxing as their eldest uncle. How could she dare to tell the Meng family about the big problems in the family? There will definitely be some small problems with recruiting people, but there won't be any big problems that are unacceptable.

Mrs. Meng said pleasantly, "It's hard for Matchmaker Zhang to make a trip today." After she said that, she glanced at the maid next to her.

The maid immediately understood and gave the matchmaker the purse she had prepared.

Seeing this, the matchmaker pretended to decline before accepting, and then left.

Meng Dongyuan returned home in the evening and found out that the matchmaker had come to visit again. He was very upset. Today he met Mr. Dong on the street, but Ms. Dong didn't even look at him. Even though he called from behind, she didn't look back.

He understood that the Meng family had broken Dong's heart in order to protect that bastard Chengxing, but he just couldn't let it go. It had been a long time since he had liked a woman like this, and he had never felt this way about the Sun family back then. Liked it.

The attendant quietly observed the changes in his expression and said after careful consideration: "Uncle, I heard that the old lady is very happy today."

After Meng Dongyuan heard this, he knew that the marriage was almost settled. He felt even more agitated and hurried to Rongfu Hall.

When Mrs. Meng saw him coming, with a look of resistance on her face, she immediately struck preemptively: "Son, matchmaker Zhang came to the door today and said that he had found two good women. After listening to her description, my mother also felt that That’s very good. I’m going to finalize your marriage and get you married in the second half of this year.”

Meng Dongyuan resisted: "Mother, I still..."

Mrs. Meng's face darkened, and she stared at him sharply: "Don't tell me, you are still thinking about Mrs. Dong, the woman who made our family so troubled. What are you thinking about her? Do you know that because She, what do those people outside say about you? They all say that your marriage is weak and that we can’t grow old together with you.”

Seeing this, Meng Dongyuan wanted to give up, and subconsciously swallowed back his words, saying, "Mother, my son has already let go of the Dong family. I wonder which girl Matchmaker Zhang has found for his son?"

Mrs. Meng said truthfully: "One is the Jin family, the daughter of the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple, and the other is the Zhao family, the daughter of the Imperial Academy. The Jin family is twenty-two, very beautiful in appearance, gentle in temperament, married once, and her husband died. Later, she took her son back to her parents' home to find another good match. Zhao was thirty-one years old and had been married once before, and her husband died. Now with their daughter, both of them want to remarry with their children. "

Meng Dongyuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he also understood that he could not make the final decision about his marriage. Since he had to choose, he would choose a young one, and said: "Mother, my son thinks the Jin family is good, so let's choose the Jin family. "

Mrs. Meng frowned and glanced at him: "You are confused. Although Jin is much younger, she has a son who will divide the family property in the future. How can this be done? When marrying a virtuous wife, age and appearance are secondary. Yes, it’s serious to be able to take care of the housework. If you want someone young and beautiful, then take another concubine.”

Meng Dongyuan said indifferently: "Mother, our family is like this now, and there is no family property to divide, so why should we care so much?"

Mrs. Meng was choked by these words and turned to say: "Our family is recovering now. In time, we will definitely restore to its former glory. How can this be an advantage for other people's sons? The Zhao family is good. Her daughter is fourteen this year. Next year, you can find an in-law and marry her. If the marriage is used well, our Meng family can have more external help."

Meng Dongyuan knew that he would definitely not be able to defeat his mother, so he simply stopped resisting. Who would he marry anyway? Then marry someone with value.

He obeyed: "Mother, it was my son who was not thinking carefully. Mother was right. It is true that the Zhao family is better."
