Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 258 Mistakenly Entered
A middle-aged woman dressed in gold and silver came over, and Fang leaned over to greet her, "Matchmaker Wang."

The woman covered her mouth and smiled, looked Liu Man'er up and down, and said, "This is your daughter, right? She looks so beautiful."

Being stared at by her ambiguous and greasy eyes, Liu Man'er only felt very uncomfortable, and felt goose bumps all over her body. She felt that this kind of blind date meeting should not be so simple, but she didn't say anything, just kept her face Matchmaker Wang nodded.

"Let's go, it's almost time for everyone to arrive." Matchmaker Wang led the two of them to a small house. There is a bead curtain in front of the house, and the situation in the hall can be seen clearly from the bead curtain. .

Because of the arrival of the two of Liu Man'er, the people in the hall began to whisper, to the effect that they were discussing Liu Man'er's appearance.

After a while, some women came again, among them were younger, most of them were women in their thirties, and most of them were covered with veils, accompanied by maidservants, like Fang Shi. It is unique for the daughter-in-law to come here.

"Okay, everyone is here. Ladies, you can choose by yourself. Don't panic if you find the one that suits you. Let's discuss it. I have some good young people here, and I will definitely satisfy you." Matchmaker Wang smiled. Said.

"Mother, so there are so many girls who chose together?" Liu Man'er asked in confusion, "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"Uh, I'm afraid you won't come if you find out." Fang's expression was a bit resentful.

Liu Man'er looked helpless, she felt that Fang must have been cheated.

"How much did you give this matchmaker Wang?" Liu Man'er asked.

"Not much, not much, only ten taels of silver." Fang's voice became softer.

"Ten taels of silver is not much? Our family can buy a servant." Liu Man'er's voice sank, and Fang said, "Mother, let me tell you the truth, I am here today to see you happy, and I will accompany you for a while." Cut off, no matter how good the young people here are, I won’t choose them.”

"Then how can I do it?" Fang ignored Liu Man'er's scolding her, grabbed her clothes, and said, "Mother paid a lot of money to find out that there are good young people selected here, and the wife of the house next door is private She told me that the young people here are all good-looking, brave and obedient, and there is absolutely no problem for you to choose one to be your husband."

"My mother." Liu Man'er couldn't help covering her forehead when she heard Fang's words. She, her, she was really too honest. The lady next door must be afraid that she would be lonely, so she was chosen. She found a good place to have fun, but it turned out that she was lucky enough to bring herself here.

If she guessed correctly, this should be a place where some rich women in ancient times went to have fun.

"Mother, this is the place where those women have fun." Liu Man'er whispered in Fang's ear.

"What do you mean?" Fang's mind still didn't turn around, she said: "I asked this matchmaker Wang, and she said that if she likes it, she can take it home."

Ahhh, Liu Man'er is really going crazy and wants her to bring a duck home? !

"Anyway, I don't want it. If you like it, just choose one." Liu Man'er didn't explain to her, but she said instead: "I'm still young, mother, you have paid so much for this family, you deserve it." Pick someone to accompany you."

"You child!" Seeing Liu Man'er making fun of her, Fang's face was stern and unhappy, "I am doing it for your own good, but you think of me like that. Am I that kind of person? I'm still waiting for the court to grant my virginity." Give me the archway!"

Seeing that she was really angry, Liu Man'er stopped talking, and she said: "Okay, don't be angry, don't do to others what you don't want to do to others, and I don't want to, then we have the right to see It's hilarious."

"You promised well before, but in vain I dressed you up so beautifully. The rouge and gouache that I bought cost tens of taels of silver, and your clothes are said to be soft smoke from Suzhou and Hangzhou. It's very expensive." When Fang heard that Liu Man'er was only here to play, she immediately began to feel sorry for her money.

"Okay, okay, don't feel bad about the money, let's make money after spending it." Liu Man'er felt that she was really self-inflicted, with so many things to do every day, how could she have time for entertainment, this is all right, but it is really a place for entertainment, If it gets out, her reputation will be ruined.

And poor Fang, I don't know what the lady next door thinks of her. Liu Man'er couldn't help laughing when she thought of this, forget it, don't tell her, otherwise, Fang is so thin-skinned, and when she finds out The truth, I must be extremely ashamed in my heart.

"Mother, let's go. Since you don't have this heart, don't amuse others." Liu Man'er stood up as she spoke. She felt that she had learned a lesson, that is, to be sincere, and if you want to amuse others, you will I also put myself in it.

Seeing that Liu Man'er was so determined, Mrs. Fang also felt that her behavior was inappropriate, so she also stood up, walked outside, opened the bead curtain, and before she had gone a few steps, the matchmaker Wang came over, and she asked: "Why, Mrs. Ye, there are so many good young people here, don't you like any of them?"

"My daughter doesn't..." Seeing that Fang was going to speak sincerely, Liu Man'er quickly covered her head, staggered, and said, "Mother, I feel dizzy, let's go back quickly."

"Yes, she is not feeling well." Fang Shi also said along the way, and the two walked out with their arms.

"Mrs. Ye." At this time, Matchmaker Wang stopped her, and Fang stopped, and heard her say: "I didn't like it this time, come again next time."

"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Fang said quickly, and then walked downstairs with Liu Man'er on her arm.

"Mother, don't come next time, don't have anything to do with this Wang matchmaker, she is not a good person." After going downstairs, Liu Man'er waved away the bearer who was about to meet her, and holding her skirt, she said as she walked: "Do you know what it's for here?"

Before Fang Shi could speak, Liu Man'er said: "This is a brothel, a place specially for those romantic women to have fun, you can find this place too, I really admire you."

"Oh..." After Liu Man'er said this, Fang's face turned red instantly, feeling that the dignity of the elders in front of her was gone, and she said: "The lady next door looks serious, why is she such a person? That day, I just briefly talked about our family’s situation, and asked her if there was any suitable candidate, and she recommended Wang Matchmaker to me, saying that she had someone on hand, who knew it would be like this.”

"Don't blame others, how can they know that you are so good, and you still want to find a husband for your daughter-in-law?" Liu Man'er covered her mouth and smiled secretly, and said, "Don't bother me so much , I have a plan in my heart, and I plan to go out to wander the world in the second half of the year, and I will definitely find a good son for you when the time comes!"

Liu Man'er originally wanted to mention it to Fang Shi first, so that she would not be able to accept it at that time, but Fang's reaction was quite big when she heard her words, "You want to leave?"

"No, no, I just have some business at that time, so I want to go outside for a while." Liu Man'er quickly changed her words.

"That's it." Fang sighed, and said with a feeling: "Speaking of which, it's not good for you to run outside all the time as a woman. I think our family's money is enough now. You There's no need to work so hard, can't Han Shixin handle some things?"

"It's different." Liu Man'er explained to her: "If I don't pay attention to many things, they will have second thoughts. I also want to be lazy, but now I don't know how many people are watching my shop. If I don't work hard, I will be replaced by them, and I will be fine when I go home to farm, maybe I won't even get to farm, people go to high places, and it is human nature to never be satisfied."

Fang's hearing was confused, but thinking about it, it seemed to be the case. The comfortable life she has now is due to the hard work of her daughter-in-law. Otherwise, how could she have the life she has today?

"Thank you, mother doesn't understand these things anyway, but don't worry, I will take care of your home for you in the future." Fang said, "I will not take care of your private affairs anymore."

"Then thank you, mother." Liu Man'er and Fang Shi smiled slightly, and the two had initially reached a consensus.

"Then let's go back quickly, I still have something to do." What Liu Man'er wants most now is to go home and change this set of clothes that are in the way. Now there are many men around her looking at her from time to time, which makes her feel Very uncomfortable.

"Okay." Fang nodded, but at this moment he had strayed into the depths of the crowd. Even if he wanted to find a sedan chair, he had to get out of the crowd.

"Man'er..."

Just as she got out of the crowd and came to a place where there were fewer people, someone suddenly called her from behind.

Liu Man'er thought it was her hallucination at first, who would know her boudoir name?After the person yelled again, she turned her head and realized that it was Yan Ruifan.

"Master Yan, why are you here?" Liu Man'er stopped in her tracks, feeling very surprised.

Seeing Liu Man'er turned around, with red lips and white teeth, a look of astonishment had already flashed in Yan Ruifan's eyes, but when he approached, his eyes had returned to the usual indifference. He first saluted Fang Shi, and waited for Fang Shi After returning the gift, he said to Liu Man'er: "I just came to the county in the past two days, and I was planning to find you for a business cooperation. I didn't expect to meet you here."

"What kind of business?" Liu Man'er asked, Yan Ruifan and his family's business is so big, how could they do business with a small merchant like himself.

Seeing Liu Man'er eagerly asking about business, Yan Ruifan smiled slightly, and said gently: "Meet an old acquaintance in a foreign land, let's talk about business matters later, it's rare to meet you two, I wonder if you can do me a favor and have a light meal with me?"

Liu Man'er was afraid that Fang Shi would misunderstand, so she was about to refuse, but Fang Shi had already said first: "It's rare that Young Master Yan invites us, and that old man is so disrespectful."
