Chapter 103: One Listens and One Keeps Silent
"Brother, has anyone asked you to be a matchmaker for you recently?" Yu Hongdou lay on Yu Song's back and asked him quietly in her brother's ear.
Chen Jiaoniang's aunt was so anxious that she came to propose marriage in person, so has she really just been waiting for a reply these two days?
And as for Chen Jiaoniang, if she really had other purposes as she thought, she would definitely not sit there and wait to be rejected, right?
"It has always been there, but it was stopped by the teacher and senior brothers." The fact that Yu Song changed his identity was no secret to some people in the county.
Some wanted to take advantage of the situation, some wanted to win over others, and some wanted to use him to climb up the big tree of the Tan family. Among these methods, the most solid and commonly used one is marriage.
"Brother, you have to be careful. If anyone falls into the water, is molested by hooligans, or invites you to a banquet, ignore them, or you will be blackmailed and suffer a lot." Yu Hongdou warned her brother using all the common tactics she could think of in ancient palace fighting novels.
"Okay, I got it, little housekeeper." Yu Song readily agreed to his sister.
He didn't mention that he was recently detained in the county government office by his teacher and was not even allowed to leave the door.
When the group arrived at the north gate, Qian Yi and Qian Er went to look for a car on their own initiative. In order to save money, they did not store the car, but instead called a half-grown boy to look after the car.
"You all go back tonight. I will go with my third sister and second uncle."
"Go back and hurry up with the two toy trays, and the puzzle will come later. Ask Duan Yuan to go to the city more often these two days to check on the progress of the shop's repairs, and wait for me to go back to see the opening date."
Yu Hongdou explained this to Duan Zhuangtou and Duan Yuan, but she actually already had a plan in mind.
Just now when I was chatting with Master Tan Bailu, I heard them say that the palace examination is about to end and the students will soon return home.
Although the river in front of Anbei County is not the main way out of the capital, it is a relatively quick path.
In order to save time, there will naturally be a lot of people taking the water route, and by then more people will have to be sent out to patrol to prevent any trouble from happening again.
In order to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination, one must first be a juren. Once a juren, no matter how poor one is, there will always be people giving him money. So Yu Hongdou decided to take advantage of this wave of wealthy people.
Duan Zhuangtou was worried and wanted Duan Yuan to go back with him and return to the city tomorrow. However, when Yu Song nodded, he agreed and left with Duan Yuan, looking back every few steps.
As soon as they left, Yu Erlang and his family came back carrying large and small bags.
"Hongdou! This city is so lively! Let me tell you..." Hu Tao's cheeks turned red with excitement. She ran over, took her little cousin's hand and started chattering.
"Uncle, aunt, Old Yang's steamed buns over there are very popular. Why don't we go over there and have a try?" Yu Song put his sister down from his back and pointed to a stall further north of the city gate.
"Brother Hou's stall is also nearby." Yu Song winked at his uncle and aunt.
Brother Hou, the man who is likely to become their second brother-in-law, is named Hou Mulin.
Yu Erlang and Sun came for this purpose and readily agreed to their nephew's suggestion. They carried their things and went to the stall with the word "Shaomai" on it.
The stall owner was an old man who looked about the same age as Mr. Yu, and he was probably with his son and daughter-in-law.
The shaomai were indeed well-made, with the skin as thin as paper and the mutton filling plump and juicy. Yu Hongdou's mouth was full of oil. While eating, she had to pour more food into Qian Sanmei's bowl, otherwise the girl would not dare to pick up her chopsticks.
Yu Erlang and Yu Li are both taciturn people. Hu Tao is concerned about her reputation and dares not say a word outside, so only Sun can come out to socialize.
She spoke a few words to Yu Song, and her eyes unconsciously glanced to the right rear of her nephew. After a few times, the daughter-in-law of the stall owner who came up to deliver steamed dumplings noticed it, and then she looked at the girl eating at the table, and her mind suddenly became clear.
"Sir, are you here to see Xiao Lin?" The stall owner's daughter-in-law was an open-minded person. She didn't beat around the bush and asked a question that made Sun blush.
"Don't mind me, I'm just a straightforward person. Let me tell you, Xiaolin is a really good kid, he's warm, thoughtful and sensible. We've been setting up the stall together for so long, and I've been watching him." The stall owner's daughter-in-law pointed to her own eyes.
"I'm not biased towards him just because I know him. There's no need to do so, but this young man is really kind. If I didn't have a daughter, I would want him to be my son-in-law." The stall owner's daughter-in-law said this with a smile.
When Sun heard the other party say "Xiao Lin is a good kid", her eyes lit up. After hearing these words, Sun no longer cared about her face and pulled the stall owner's daughter-in-law to ask her several questions in a row.
What time does he open the stall? What time does he close the stall? Will it be tiring to look after the stall by himself? How will he eat when he is at the stall? Will anyone come to cause trouble?
Yu Hongdou chewed steamed buns with her ears perked up, and kept silent when she heard something, and praised every time she heard something.
Look at the question asked by the second aunt. There is nothing embarrassing about it. It is full of concern. But if you think about it carefully, you will find that the other person's daily routine, friends, and business performance are all included in these details.
Yu Hongdou believed that, excluding Tian Manman who was not married yet, among the three daughters-in-law of the Yu family, second aunt Sun was the smartest and most capable, especially in terms of social skills, even her own mother could not compare to her.
After the meal, Yu Hongdou believed that her second aunt had a thorough understanding of her future brother-in-law and was very satisfied with him.
Seeing her second aunt's rosy face, Yu Hongdou poked her second cousin next to her.
When she looked over, Yu Hongdou scratched her face with her index finger. Hu Tao felt embarrassed and annoyed, but she couldn't discipline her little cousin as they were outside, so she could only glare at her.
Yu Hongdou giggled like a hen, but finally covered her mouth because she was afraid that her second cousin would take revenge on her on the way back.
After the meal, Yu Erlang refused to let his nephew pay. Unexpectedly, Yu Song was cunning and had already paid the bill when he pretended to be jealous halfway. In the end, Yu Erlang could only smile and pat his nephew on the shoulder.
The next step was to get to the main topic of today's trip, which was to go to the stall of the future second brother-in-law to inspect it in person. Yu Hongdou was ready to go, but was stopped by Yu Song.
The two siblings and Qian Sanmei were responsible for looking after the luggage. Yu Hongdou tried her best to make her brother give in, but she couldn't. She could only squat at her brother's feet and count ants in a unhappy mood.
Fortunately, the future brother-in-law was very considerate. When Yu Erlang's family came back, he followed them with two bags of things.
He saw Yu Song was stunned for a moment, obviously he knew Yu Song, but he didn't say hello. Instead, he handed the things to Yu Erlang and Sun.
"Uncle and aunt, this is a little gift from my nephew. Please accept it. Otherwise, I would be embarrassed to bother you." He spoke politely and had a respectful attitude, but his eyes accidentally glanced at Hu Tao.
Yu Hongdou was so sweet by this subtle expression that she revealed her little white teeth. Yu Song was afraid that his sister would laugh out loud and cause embarrassment to both of them, so he quickly reached out and covered his sister's mouth.
But Hou Mulin still saw it, and his face turned visibly red. Ignoring Yu Erlang and Sun's refusal, he bowed twice and ran away.
