Sign in and get rich in farming

The guests in the main hall finally left. Yu Hongdou peeked through the door and saw a young woman about the same age as her mother and a middle-aged woman about the same age as her aunt.

It can be seen that the young woman is better maintained than her mother. Her face is as white as if she had been powdered, and her hair seems to have been oiled and is neatly combed.

With such temperament and dress, it is obvious that she is not a matchmaker, but rather a country squire's wife. The old woman who stepped back half a step and supported her should be the nanny who serves the master.

The first family that Yu Hongdou thought of was the Bai family. Apart from the Bai family, she couldn't think of any other family that would invite a country lady to come to their house early in the morning to act as a matchmaker.

Guests are welcome, and as hosts, no matter what Yu Sanlang and Xu thought, they politely and personally escorted the guests out the door.

The couple returned to the main room in silence. Their little darling was already sitting on the large chair in the main hall waiting for them.

"Dad, Mom, come and try the scented tea I made!" Yu Hongdou didn't ask who the visitor was, but pointed to the two bowls on the table.

"What's that strange thing that you rushed to bring to me? Oh, it's really beautiful!" Mrs. Xu smiled and scolded her daughter. She leaned over to take a look and exclaimed in surprise.

Yu Hongdou raised her eyebrows proudly at her father.

Yu Sanlang also saw the yellow chrysanthemum floating in the bowl. Its petals were unfolding one by one. It was not only beautiful, but also had the pleasure of watching the flowers bloom.

He held the bowl up to his nose and sniffed it. A fresh scent of grass and trees filled his nose. Yu Sanlang carefully distinguished it and turned to look at his daughter: "Pine needles?"

Yu Hongdou gave her father a thumbs up with the sound of applause.

The couple each picked up their bowls and took a sip. Xu, who had a natural sweet taste, was instantly conquered.

Yu Sanlang frowned slightly and said, "It's better without sugar."

Yu Hongdou nodded, and the preferences of men and women were sorted out. After her parents finished the tea in the bowls, she asked who the visitor was.

"She is Liu Jiaoniang's aunt." Speaking of this, Xu, who was originally very happy because of the delicious chrysanthemum tea, frowned again.

"? Is there something wrong with her?" The first thing Yu Hongdou thought of was that there was something wrong with Liu Jiaoniang, so her aunt was in a hurry to push her out.

"This Madam Hua said that her family might move to the capital in the second half of the year. She's afraid that Liu Jiaoniang will bully her if she's not around. She knows that our family is kind and Xiaosong is promising, so she's a little anxious, fearing that she won't be able to get married." Xu didn't like this person very much, and her tone was not very good.

"Then our family can't agree to this marriage just because she is anxious." Yu Hongdou didn't understand.

How big of a filter does this beautiful lady have for her niece Liu Jiaoniang that she thought the Yu family would agree as soon as she came to propose marriage.

"She promised to give Liu Jiaoniang two hundred taels of silver as a dowry, plus a small house in the county town." Yu Sanlang couldn't help laughing when he talked about this.

"My brother is only worth two hundred taels? It seems that Madam Hua still doesn't understand the inside story." Yu Hongdou grinned.

If the ranking is really based on bidding with silver, wouldn’t the Bai family be overjoyed?

"You rejected it directly? What did you say? Did you say that my brother didn't want to get married at a young age? Or did you say that my brother's marriage has been arranged?" Yu Hongdou was familiar with the two-piece set of marriage rejection.

"Your father said that he should ask your brother first. I think your father just can't bear to refuse others." Xu glared at her husband angrily, her words full of sourness.

"I just feel a little bit reluctant." Yu Sanlang teased his wife deliberately, and when he saw that she was frowning and really angry, he continued.

"I always feel that Liu Jiaoniang's appearance was too sudden, so I thought of delaying it a bit to see if I can find out anything." Yu Sanlang touched his wife's hair.

Xu opened his hand with a snap, and the anger on her face disappeared.

After hearing what her father said, Yu Hongdou thought about it carefully and felt that the enthusiasm shown by Liu Jiaoniang seemed to be a little deliberate, but if she really tried to find out, she could not detect any peacekeeping.

But today, Madam Hua came running over early in the morning and told her parents about her concerns about Liu Jiaoniang, which was a bit weird.

Even if he was really worried about his niece, he could have just asked a matchmaker to come to his house. Why would he have to come in person so early in the morning, making the girl seem so humble?

Most people would be a little suspicious after experiencing this visit from Aunt Hua, even if they had a good impression of Liu Jiaoniang, right?

Wait, could it be that she really doesn’t want Liu Jiaoniang to marry her?

Yu Hongdou reasoned in reverse, if Aunt Hua didn't want Liu Jiaoniang to get married, but Liu Jiaoniang was anxious to get married, maybe it wasn't just because she liked her brother, but Liu Jiaoniang wanted to get rid of her aunt? ?

Yu Hongdou spoke out everything that was on her mind and threw all the questions to her father, asking him to find the answers.

Yu Sanlang stroked his chin and fell into deep thought. If it was true as his daughter had inferred, then what could there be about Liu Jiaoniang that would make Hua Shi plot against her?

Isn’t it said that Liu Jiaoniang was raised by Hua?

Unless, the secret lies with Liu Jiaoniang herself, and now is not the time to reveal the secret.

Yu Hongdou tilted her head and looked at her father who was in a dilemma and smiled.

After saying hello to her mother, she went back to her room, got the two drawings she had drawn yesterday, and went next door again, bringing Qian Sanmei, a few chrysanthemums, and half a jar of pine needle water with her.

She went to assign a task to her second uncle and second cousin, and also did some market research.

After all, Yu Hongdou's trip today was not in vain. She first let her second uncle's family try the chrysanthemum tea. It turned out that except for her cousin, everyone in her second uncle's family liked sweet food and thought that chrysanthemum tea with sweet water tasted better.

But my second cousin actually thought that it was fine to just make tea with chrysanthemum and wolfberry without relaxing the injection, and she could taste the slight sweetness of the wolfberry.

Yu Hongdou nodded in understanding. It turned out that her second cousin liked the original flavor.

After completing the market research, she finally presented the toy drawings that she had been putting off for a long time to her second uncle and second cousin.

"This is simple. It just requires a piece of board and a pile of wood chips. As for the string of this soldier's reel, it is best to soak it in wax oil or tung oil. The cotton string will break after just a few pulls." Yu Erlang only took a glance at the drawing and an idea came to his mind.

Yu Hongdou originally wanted to explain the "sketch" she drew in detail to her second uncle.

She didn't expect that her second uncle was so capable and could see it all at a glance. She couldn't help but applaud and express her admiration for her second uncle.

"Uncle, you try it first. It's best to control the size of the wooden disc and the wood chips according to the drawing. Later, I want my father to find people from the farm to plane the wood chips together. This way, it will save time to find an experienced person to connect the wood at the end." This time, Yu Hongdou did not pretend to be naive, but showed a hint of shrewdness.

As early as when she issued the order to Duan Zhuangtou, Yu Hongdou decided that she had to take steps herself in some matters.

Otherwise, if she keeps relying on her father to communicate with the outside world and issue orders, not only would it waste time, but it would also tie her father up, which would be a waste of time.

Last time it was Duan Zhuangtou, this time it was Second Uncle’s family. Yu Hongdou finally showed a hint of her unique edge.
