Family Has a Concubine

Chapter 439 Toad Wants to Eat Swan Meat (Part 2)

"Old man, old man!" Meng followed Zhang Zan's footsteps.

Although Zhang Zan was old, his body was strong and he walked fast, disappearing around the corner in a short while.

Zhang Manman quickly caught up and pulled Meng Shi: "Mother, forget it."

"What do you mean forget it?" Meng frowned, and turned to stare at Zhang Manman, "That's your marriage! Why are you not in a hurry?"

"I..." Zhang Manman's face turned pale. Since she was divorced by the prince, she has experienced a series of things, and Zhang Boyuan and Ye Licai's miserable married life, Zhang Manman has been disheartened about marriage up.

She has no expectation of marriage at all, whoever she wants to marry depends entirely on Zhang Zan. If you really can't get married, then go up the mountain and be a sister-in-law.

Zhang Manman only said in a low voice: "Anyway, grandfather will not harm me. Grandfather's decision has never been missed."

Meng choked, and seeing Zhang Manman's listless appearance, she sighed slightly: "Manman, mother is doing it for your own good."

"I know." Zhang Manman nodded.

The mother and daughter went back to Meng's residence together, talked for a while, and Zhang Manman went back.

Mrs. Meng is still worried about Zhang Manman's marriage, "I have taken a fancy to several families, and they all think that Manman is good, but the old man wants to make the decision. I don't know who it is."

Her accompanying room, Nurse Qu, said: "The old man is a good man, he will never harm the girl."

Meng frowned: "Since they are a good family, why hide it from me? She is my own daughter."

"It's useless for Madam to think too much now. The girl is Madam's own daughter and the old man's own granddaughter, how can she cheat her?" Nanny Qu smiled.

Mrs. Meng sighed slightly: "You are right." There is nothing to do now, but to wait for the news first.

In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. Meng and Nanny Qu were busy with giving gifts during the Chinese New Year. They were writing the catalog of the family in the house, preparing which family to give what.

At this time, a little maid came over: "Ma'am, Wu Matchmaker is here."

"Wu Matchmaker?" Meng was startled, and put down the account book in her hand, "Didn't we call her back last time? She doesn't need to find someone for Man Man, and the marriage is all left to the old man."

Some time ago, the Meng family had been talking about Zhang Manman's marriage, and they called it Wu Matchmaker, and Wu Matchmaker also worked hard, and found many good sons of aristocratic families. Meng Shi looked at it and thought it was good, but she didn't think that Wu Matchmaker would be busy for nothing in the end.

"Nurse Qu, you take five taels of silver and send it to Wu Matchmaker, and tell her that she worked hard last time and can't be busy anymore." Mrs. Meng sighed slightly.

After declining Wu Matchmaker last time, she gave five taels of silver. Now that Wu Matchmaker is still here, Meng's guess is that Wu Matchmaker must have a good marriage in her hands, so she came to her again.

Nanny Qu went into the room to take the silver, the maid took it and went out. But after a while, she ran back again: "The matchmaker said... I really need to talk to my wife about this marriage."

Meng frowned slightly, "Okay, please come in quickly." She had to dismiss it by herself.

"Yes." The servant girl agreed and turned to leave.

Meng put down the account book in her hand and moved to the living room.

After a while, I saw the servant girl leading Wu Matchmaker in, and Wu Matchmaker bowed to Mrs. Meng: "I've seen my wife."

"Wu Matchmaker, don't be too polite, hehehe, I really need your trouble." Meng smiled, "Please sit down."

Wu Matchmaker didn't sit down, but leaned closer and said, "Madam, let me tell you something important."

"This... as I said last time, I can't make up my mind about Manman's marriage, even if you have a good matchmaker in your hand." Qin said.

"No, no... It's about Miss Zhang's marriage... Well, it's not about marrying Miss Zhang, but... I know which one your girl is talking about!" Wu Matchmaker looked mysterious.

Meng's back couldn't help but straightened, and seeing Wu Matchmaker winking at her, she said to the maid outside: "You go out first."

The maid promised, then turned and left.

Then Meng said: "What does the matchmaker mean?"

"It's not interesting, it's just... I see that Miss Zhang is a good girl, and her wife is also a very kind person. I really can't see Miss Zhang being tricked." Wu Matchmaker said.

"What's the trick?" Meng frowned deeply, "Now Manman's marriage is decided by my old lady, who can cheat her?"

"I don't know who made the decision, but I have to report a letter to my wife, so my wife will suffer a big loss after being beheaded first." Wu Matchmaker said.

"Then tell me quickly." Nanny Qu said

Matchmaker Wu said: "I live close to Matchmaker Gu. A jujube tree was planted in Matchmaker Gu's courtyard, and the fruit has been fruitful during this time. My granddaughter Xiaohong has a good relationship with Matchmaker Gu's little maid. They said they would go to the tree After picking a few dates, the little girl agreed, and ran out to buy something for Matchmaker Gu. Unexpectedly, a young servant walked into Matchmaker Gu’s house. My Xiaohong looked through the window and saw clearly that the young servant He has a big face and a big nose, he's your old man's servant, isn't he?"

Because the previous Wu matchmaker often brought her granddaughter Xiaohong to Zhang Manman's house to say goodbye to Zhang Manman, both Wu matchmaker and Xiaohong knew Zhang Zan's servant.

"Yes, it's the six bolts in front of the old man. Then?" Meng was a little anxious.

"The boy told Matchmaker Gu to ask Matchmaker Gu to go to the man's house to propose marriage. When the marriage is completed, a generous thank-you money will be indispensable." Wu Matchmaker said with a mysterious face, "Madam, you can guess, Mrs. Zhang Who did you tell your girl?"

"Oh, my God, don't be a fool! Tell me!" Meng Shi was already a little bit crazy.

"He wants to tell Ye Yun about your girl!" Wu Matchmaker said winkingly.

Meng was stunned for a moment: "Ye Jun? Which Ye Jun?"

"Oh, my wife! You don't know, isn't it your in-laws?" Wu Matchmaker laughed angrily, "Ye Yun! Ye Yun! Now Mrs. Zhenxihou's elder brother, Wen's son ! The one that broke a leg and is crippled."

Meng's complexion changed: "Ye Yun? Huh? Ye——yun?" As she spoke, Meng's brain buzzed and turned black.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what has become of the Ye family? Even if Ye Tangcai has become Mrs. Zhenxihou, the decline of the Ye family can't be stopped. Those who cut officials and nobles will settle down! One scandal after another! Daddy is a shameless person." Disciple, mother is a peaceable one! Ye Yun was also unconscious at first, but now he is still a lame man! Tsk tsk tsk, I don’t know what medicine your old man took wrongly!” Wu Matchmaker showed pity and disgust.

Meng Shi was almost unable to sit still, and her whole body was shaking. "Is this true?"

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?" Wu Matchmaker snorted softly, "If your wife doesn't believe it, you can go and check it out. Even if you don't check it out, you will know when your daughter really ordered it for that cripple." It's not true."

Meng's eyes darkened: "Then... I really thank the matchmaker."

"Oh, thank you." Wu Matchmaker shook her hand holding the handkerchief and said with a smile, "I also can't see a girl being pushed into the kang. There is only one thing, this matter... Madam, don't say I said it The wife just said that I just came to the door to say kiss to the girl today."

"It's natural." Mrs. Meng only remembered Zhang Manman's matter in her heart, and nodded desperately, "Nurse Qu, get some money for the car and sedan chair for Wu Matchmaker."

Nanny Qu agreed, then went to the bedroom, rummaged through the money box, and thought that Wu Matchmaker's news was of great importance, and it was really a great achievement, so she took five or six small silver ingots, adding up, a total of There are as many as fifty taels.

When the Wu matchmaker saw it, she was so happy that her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and she said, "Why are you so polite?" While talking, she had already taken it. "If there's nothing else, I'll go first."

"You go." Meng said.

Wu Matchmaker left happily. Holding fifty taels of silver in my hand, I don't know how happy I am.

She took this trip because she was unwilling.

In terms of fame, she was not as good as Gu Matchmaker, and the two always competed for business.

She had spent a long time discussing Zhang Manman's marriage, and she had put in a lot of effort, but it turned out that her busy work was in vain. It's okay to be busy for nothing, after all, the Meng family didn't do it on purpose, and she didn't dare to offend the officials. I can only suffer from this dumbness.

Unexpectedly, after this piece of Man's marriage fell into Zhang Zan's hands, it was actually handed over to Gu Matchmaker.

What Wu Matchmaker thought was so unbalanced in her heart, she decided to break it!

Now, not only has this marriage been broken, but he has also won fifty taels of silver, which really kills two birds with one stone!

After Wu Matchmaker left, Mrs. Meng rubbed her hands and stood up.

Nanny Qu was taken aback: "Madam, you... Where are you going? By the way, let's tell the old man quickly that we must never marry Ye Yun."

"Old man? Hehehe, is it useful?" Meng sneered coldly, "Isn't he likes to kill first and then play? Come on, let's go find that old man Wen! How dare you miss my daughter! What a toad wants to eat swan meat!"
