Early the next morning, Mrs. Lei went to matchmaker Zhang and asked her to come to propose marriage.
Matchmaker Zhang thought it was He Xinghua's marriage that was done, but she didn't expect that it was the third child of a weak family who had put it on the agenda in advance.
But it’s fine to go first to the third child and then to the eldest. Anyway, it’s not the first time for the two of them to get married, so there is no need to pay attention to the order of elders and younger ones.
"Don't worry, Sister-in-law Lei, I will definitely arrange this marriage for you. By the way, have you asked someone to go to Xinghua Village to inquire about it?"
Mrs. Lei smiled and said: "I've done some research, Miss He is pretty good. But my eldest son is still in the military camp and I don't know when he will come back. I plan to invite Miss He's family to work in my house first. When the third child gets married, the eldest son will definitely come back. Then the two of them will naturally see each other."
Matchmaker Zhang smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Lei is still smart, she can think of all these tricks."
Mrs. Lei smiled: "Originally, I planned to go to Xinghua Village today to ask the He family if they would like to work in our house for a long time, but because of the third child's affairs, I have to delay it for a while."
Matchmaker Zhang immediately solicited business for her husband: "Are you inviting all four members of the He family? Sister-in-law Lei, you also know that I am a charlatan. If you can trust me in this matter, let me handle this matter. I guarantee that I can invite you." Come to the He family to work."
Mrs. Lei really forgot that Matchmaker Zhang's man was a charlatan. She smiled and said: "My youngest son went to Xinghua Village today. I asked him to invite someone, but he is stupid and I don't know if he can invite someone. If he didn't invite someone, Please come, I won’t bother you two anymore.”
"What did Sister-in-law Lei say? I'm happy to trouble you!"
Then the two of them talked about the details of the marriage proposal, the wages of hiring someone, etiquette and so on.
Matchmaker Zhang heard that the head foreman's salary was three taels of silver a month, and four taels of silver a month later, including food and accommodation, three days of work and one day off, as well as clothes for all seasons and festival gifts. She wanted to take her whole family there. The weak are at work.
This family of four can earn sixteen taels of silver a month, and they can save enough money to build a house in a year. It can take them ten or eight years to buy a shop in the town. Such a good job is impossible to find even with a lantern.
If it weren't for the fact that you can sometimes earn more by being a matchmaker and a charlatan by giving rewards, and you can make money just by opening your mouth, and they are not as tiring as long-term workers, she would really join a weak family.
"Sister-in-law Lei is kind. Don't worry, this will definitely happen. Only a fool would refuse such a good job."
After the two discussed it, Mrs. Lei went home.
Matchmaker Zhang was very reliable. After Mrs. Lei left, she immediately went to the villa to propose marriage to Grandma Shen.
Aunt Shen asked Yi Chu what she meant, and when she refused, she asked her why.
Yichu revealed that her biological parents were from Xishui Village, and also revealed what kind of parents Old Man Zhen and Granny Tan were.
When Nanny Shen learned that she was afraid that her biological parents would get involved with the weak family, she smiled: "So you are afraid of this, so don't worry! Not to mention that the weak family now has a princess, a member of the Zhen family I can't afford to offend the weak family. Even if the weak family is an ordinary family, now that you are my daughter, I have a hundred ways to prevent the Zhen family from getting involved with the weak family. Well, there is no need to worry about the weak family. It's really good. A weak family is also a kind and kind family. It would be a pity to miss it. But the third child of a weak family has already been married and is a bit unworthy of you."
When Yi Chu heard this, he said hurriedly: "Brother Ruohe was deceived into marrying by Zhao. After we got married, he never touched Zhao and was not considered married. How could he not be worthy of me? I am not worthy. He is."
Aunt Shen smiled: "Okay, as long as you think you're worthy, mother, go and accept the marriage!"
Aunt Shen had long known about Yichu from Mrs. Xuanyuan. Even the reason why she bought her and adopted her as her daughter was to change Zhen Yi's identity so that she could marry into a weak family.
Of course, she was very happy to have such a filial daughter as Yi Chu when she was old.
Yichu's face turned red, and Nanny Shen walked out quickly. She couldn't stop her, but of course she didn't really want to stop her in her heart.
She never dreamed of marrying Ruohe.

In the evening, Ruohe came back with his carriage. Early this morning, he went to Xinghua Village to transport wood. By the way, he asked if the He family could work as long-term workers at his house.
Mrs. Lei was washing rice and cooking. When she saw Ruohe coming back, she hurriedly asked: "How is it? Will the people from the He family agree to come to our house as long-term workers?"
Ruohe: "I didn't agree directly. I said I would consider it for a few days before replying. I guess I wanted to inquire about our family's situation."
Mrs. Lei nodded: "This is normal. After all, we are far away from Xinghua Village. Who would dare to agree easily without asking clearly?"
Ruohe opened his mouth and wanted to ask his mother if she had invited a matchmaker to propose marriage today.
Mrs. Lei noticed that Ruohe was hesitant to speak, so she pretended not to notice. After washing the rice, she turned around and went back to the kitchen to cook.
Ruohe: "."
He stood in the yard for a while, debating whether to ask or not.
At this time, Mrs. Lei's voice came again: "By the way, Xiaohong is about to give birth. Go and have a look!"
Tonight Mrs. Xuanyuan's grandson and grandson were having dinner at home. Mrs. Lei, Mrs. Liu and Mr. Jiang wanted to prepare dinner, so they didn't go there.
She heard that shopkeeper Gu had delivered horses, so she wasn't worried.
When Ruohe heard this, he immediately ignored everything and hurried to the stable in the backyard.
Xiao Hong was the sweaty horse that was about to die of illness and was given by the store when Xuan Bao bought a horse.
In the stable in the backyard, Ruoxuan, Xuanyuanque and Shopkeeper Gu squatted beside Xiaohong. Ruoxuan's small hands gently stroked the horse's belly to relieve its pain.
Mrs. Xuanyuan and Aunt Yuhua were outside the stable, looking at Xuan Bao and Xuanyuan Que worriedly, fearing that the horse would kick its legs and injure the two children!
I don’t know how old she is, but why she is so bold. She is not afraid of giving birth at all, but insists on going in to help.
Demon Lord's little white dog squatted next to Ruoxuan and barked twice.
(You think, should I kill that pig and become a horse? It’s better to be a horse than a pig!)
Upon hearing this, Ruoxuan said happily: "Okay! Then I can ride you every day."
A horse with the soul of a demon king is absolutely extraordinary!
Demon Lord: "."
Forget it, he doesn't want to be ridden by the little flower demon!
Just be a horse and be ridden every day, and be a pig and wait to die.
If you think so, it's better to be a pig!
With Ruoxuan's comfort, the horse soon gave birth to a male foal without any pain.
The foal's coat was red and shiny, without a trace of mottled color. It simply didn't look like a newborn horse.
"What a horse!" Ruohe saw the foal as soon as he arrived and couldn't help but praise it.
Shopkeeper Gu nodded happily: "It is indeed a rare and good horse!"
This horse is probably better than the emperor's mount.
Mrs. Xuanyuan smiled and said: "Such a good horse, when it is raised and used for breeding, we can get a lot of good horses!"
Demon Lord: "."
Fortunately, he didn't think too hard just now!
