Chapter 65 Still Unreliable
Ding's mother saw Zheng's matchmaker smiling face and didn't care about their poor hospitality. Her good impression in her heart rose. Her intuition might be that this marriage could be more reliable.
He ordered Ding Rou to cook tea in the stove, and Ding's mother accompanied Zheng's matchmaker in the hall for a while.
At the beginning, Zheng's matchmaker just looked at the layout of the Ding family. She also had a general understanding of the economic situation of the Ding family, and then asked where the Ding page was.
Of course, Ding's mother told the truth and said, "My page is selling tofu flowers with Xiaohu."
"Well... Isn't there only two daughters in your family? Who is Xiaohu?"
When Zheng's mother saw that Ding's mother mentioned Xiaohu's tone was very familiar, she couldn't help asking in surprise.
When it comes to Xiaohu, Ding's mother can't help thinking of his cleverness and understanding, and his diligence and sweet mouth. After getting along with each other for a period of time, she also understood that there was nothing wrong with the choice of Ding's page at the beginning. Xiaohu could definitely be her future support, and she already regarded Xiaohu as her own child.
"To tell you the truth, I only have two daughters in my family. Although making tofu is an ancestral craft and a way for our Ding family to make a living, what's the use? Without a son, no one will inherit. So some time ago, I adopted a child, Xiaohu. He is very sensible and obedient.
With that, Ding's mother couldn't help showing a look of honor, which showed that she was relatively satisfied with this adopted son.
Ding's mother looked around the room and asked carelessly, "That is to say, your shop will be passed on to that adopted son in the future?"
Ding's mother nodded and said, "Of course, since he has the surname of my Ding family, he is a member of my Ding family. Future generations will all have the surname of Ding. This old house will not be passed on to him, but to whom?"
Matchmaker Zheng said with a very natural interface, "Of course it's your eldest girl!" I heard that your eldest daughter can make tofu in your family, and she supports this family. She has worked so hard for so long. Shouldn't this shop be passed on to her?
Ding's mother's expression with a faint smile immediately changed.
The fool also heard the meaning of Zheng's mother-in-law's words. This matchmaker did not come for Ding Page, but for this shop.
"I'm afraid this won't work! After all, the page is a girl's house, and she is going to get married in the future. If this shop is given to her, won't it be the surname of others in the future? Then I went to the underworld after my death. How can I see the ancestors of the Ding family? Besides, Xiaohu is a good boy. Now he is also very attentive when learning to make tofu. My page said that Xiaohu is a material for making tofu. When he is proficient in making it in the future, the tofu he will definitely be more delicious than she makes. Therefore, this shop will definitely be left for Xiaohu.
Ding's mother said this almost decisively.
In the past, she didn't hold this idea. She always felt that Xiaohu was still an outsider, and it was difficult to change her mind in the future, but she had to say that at least for now, the little tiger she saw was really a very sensible and filial child, which made her have to like him and sincerely treat him as her own child.
Since she is a matchmaker, of course, matchmaker Zheng is also very good at observing words and expressions. She seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Ding's tone. She quickly laughed and said, "It seems that that child is really good. Listening to what you mean, she seems to like him very much."
"Of course, good children will like it."
As he spoke, Ding Rou sent tea soup.
It is different from the last time Wang's matchmaker came, because Wang's matchmaker took a high-end route at a glance, so Ding's mother prepared tea to entertain Wang's matchmaker, although the tea was really too bad in the eyes of Wang's matchmaker. What hosted Zheng's matchmaker this time was honey date tea. The soup was dark brown and smelled sweet.
The visitor was a guest. Ding's mother temporarily put aside her dissatisfaction and invited Zheng's mother-in-law to have tea first.
Of course, Zheng's matchmaker will not be polite. For her, this jujube tea is also good.
Ding's mother sent Ding Rou back to her room to be a celebrity first, and did not allow her to listen. Ding Rou had no choice but to hide in the west room and take out a handkerchief to make it, but from time to time she still pricked up her ears to listen to the movement in the hall. She was really curious about Zheng's marriage and hoped that Ding Paozi could get married as soon as possible.
The two of them ate tea for a while. Ding's mother thought that Zheng's mother had not said her purpose now, so she asked directly, "Zheng's mother, who did you come to tell?"
Zheng's matchmaker just put down her chopsticks and said, "You may not know him, but he is indeed a good boy. If it is done, it will also be the blessing of your eldest daughter. The boy's surname is Yuan, and he is 17 years old, which coincides with the age of your eldest daughter. Now he is working in Hao's house, and he is extremely steady and honest. I heard that the big housekeeper of Hao's mansion is preparing to promote him, and it must be a good one in the future.
Ding's mother frowned and said, "Is it related to Hao Fu again?"
Zheng's matchmaker is not as close as Wang's matchmaker and Shen's mother, so she doesn't know the inside story. She just think of it as an ordinary marriage.
She smiled and said, "How are Haofu. How many of them can catch up with Haofu in Taihe County? Not to mention the great cause of the Hao family, the masters are also kind and have never treated their subordinates badly. Although Yuan Ben is still a little boy now, he works behind the big housekeeper. Can he lose his benefits in the future?
I have to say that it's really good to put this marriage on someone else, but Ding's mother felt unhappy as soon as she tied Ding's page with Hao Fu.
Although the wind has passed, Yuan Benruo is really a subordinate of Hao's family. Will he marry a girl who talks to his master?
The more Ding's mother thought about it, the more unreliable she felt. She deeply felt that there must be a big problem in it, not just plotting her shop.
After thinking about it, she asked again, "What do the parents of the Yuan family do?" What other siblings are there in his family?
Zheng's matchmaker smiled and said, "When it comes to this, I have to say that it is a blessing for your eldest girl. Yuan Benna, his parents have died since he was a child, and there are no other siblings. If your eldest daughter gets married, she can be in charge of her own family as soon as she gets married. She doesn't have to spend any effort to serve any mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and you don't have to think about how to deal with the relationship between sister-in-law. What a good thing.
Ding's mother was speechless, and her expression became more and more cold in front of Zheng's matchmaker.
This matchmaker is too unreliable. This person who has no father, no mother, no sister and brother actually introduces her home page! Isn't this obvious that you want to cheat her family's page? You will enjoy happiness as soon as you get married, not to mention suffering. If you don't have a mother-in-law to help you, or a brother or sister to help you, what kind of good life can you live in the future? Even if the page is pregnant and waiting for delivery in the future, I'm afraid there is no one to serve.
