Yutai Bi

Chapter 27 Being Targeted 2
Baicao cleverly pointed to the river and shouted: "Oh, the boat on our house is about to be overtaken."

Mrs. Fan turned her head to look at the river, and slapped her thigh: "I bet a hundred taels of silver on your boat to win. Don't be overtaken!"

On the river, Cen's mansion's red boat took the lead, and the two boats on the left and right fell half of the boat.

"Third lady, the boat on the right is Fangfu's boat!" Baicao's cheeks were flushed with excitement, even though she tried her best to lower her voice, she couldn't stop her excitement.

Cen Sanniang gave her a hard look, and said in a voice like a gnat, "I don't care whose territory it is on. Fang's boat passed Cen's house, and people heard that there are some good fruits for you."

Baicao stuck out her tongue, not daring to say any more.

At this time, Mrs. Fan turned her head around again: "Has San Niang ever read a book? Can she know how to settle accounts?"

Cen Sanniang quickly shook her head: "I can read a few words, but I can't settle accounts."

She was extremely anxious. Could it be that Mrs. Fan had her idea on her head?

"It doesn't matter whether a woman can recite poems or write prose, what matters is that she can understand the accounts and how to manage the middle income. It's time for Sanniang to learn." Mrs. Fan admonished Sanniang as if she were a vice-elder.

Cen Sanniang buried her head even lower: "Sanniang is stupid..."

"Grandmother, grandma, I'm hungry. Can I go to Juxian Tower first?" Ninth Young Master Cen Zhilin suddenly shouted.

"Be good, brother Jiu, the boat race will be over soon. Let's go after dinner, and watch the fire dragon parade in the evening after dinner." The third old lady said.

Cen Zhilin took her hand and acted like a baby: "Grandmother, let Sanniang go with me first, okay? I'm so hungry, I want to eat the dim sum from Juxianlou."

The pink face, the begging eyes, the third old lady's heart is about to melt: "Yes, please. We can't starve our ninth brother."

Cen Zhilin cheered.

At this moment, Cen Sanniang really wanted to hold his little face and kiss him hard.

Sanniang sneaked away, will Mrs. Fan follow her again?Liu Niang secretly glanced at Fan Yushu, feeling a little worried.She curled her lips and said, "Grandmother, I also want to go first. Qiniang, how about you?"

Qiniang smiled without hesitation, "I'll follow my sister."

The old lady pondered for a moment, looked at Cen Sanniang meaningfully, and said: "After the boat race is over, there will be a lot of people entering the city. Third brother, you should lead your younger brothers and sisters first."

The 16-year-old third young master has matured like an adult, so he complied calmly, ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair, and arranged for his servants to escort the juniors away.

The juniors of the Cen residence have all left.Mrs. Fan squeezed beside the third old lady, waving her round fan and asked courteously: "Old lady, I like Cen Sanniang and want to ask you to be my youngest daughter-in-law. What do you think?"

The three old ladies watched Fangfu's black dragon boat over the river and finally surpassed Cen's boat by half the boat to take the first place. With an ouch, they turned and returned to the shed: "I won No.2, and I won a lot of money."

"Hey, what the old lady said is true. I won a lot of money." Mrs. Fan muttered, moving her fat body to follow in: "Old lady, I am also a poor person. My master passed away early, and I am a widow I have to show my face to take care of the property. The eldest son fell into the water three years ago, and I only have a single seedling of Yushu. His sister-in-law is still young, and I can't force her to keep her chastity. The Fan family will rely on Yushu's wife to be the head of the family in the future Director. Fan Mansion’s tens of thousands of family property, where can a daughter from an ordinary family support it? I wholeheartedly want to hire a daughter from a wealthy family for Yushu. I can't look down on him. The Cen family in Longzhou is a century-old family, and Sanniang is raised under your knees. She knows books and rituals, and she is no different from the daughter of a rich family. I see, she is a perfect match for my Yushu. As long as you nod, no matter what I will give you 2 taels of dowry as a dowry. What do you think, old lady?"
