Chapter 130 Marriage

Sujiayan became a hit. ALong with this, Su Family's girls entered the circle of wealthy families in Luohe Prefecture. Especially Su Family's eldest daughter. Her story can be found out by anyone who had intention to.

Those wealthy families who need someone who can judge matters and take care of household matters naturally took a great favor toward the young girl, Su You Jin, who had changed Su Family from an unknown outsider to a new noble in the business circles of Luohe Prefecture on her own strength in just four or five years.

"Madam Su, that Chen Family is one of the best in the silk and satin business in Luohe Prefecture. Chen Family's gentleman is a Tongsheng at the age of sixteen. Chen Family's Master and Madam are also kind and generous. Before I came here, I was told that as long as Eldest Miss marries over, she will be treated as their own daughter!"

Sitting in the parlor of Su Family's main courtyard was a woman in her forties wore a peach red dress with festive red velvet flowers on her head and a handkerchief embroidered with red lotuses in her hand. Like flowers coming out of her mouth, she boasted that the youngest son of Master Chen to heaven and earth.

Another woman with a slightly plump figure and dressed as a matchmaker, smiled like a bright chrysanthemum and interrupted the first matchmaker: "What does Chen Family's Young Master amount to? If I have to say, Li Family's Young Master is better. That family's Master has a Juren background and there are more than 100 mu of fertile land in the family. Gentleman Li is now seventeen years old and he was already a Xiucai. He'll become Zhuangyuan. It is certainly not a problem to be titled a Marquis or a Prime Minister. If our Eldest Miss enters Li's residence, getting the identity of mandated madam is a definite matter in a few years, right! "

"Mrs. Xin, isn't your conscience ill at ease when you say that. That Li Family's Young Master had been engaged three times. Each time, the fiancée was either sick or the fiancée had eloped with someone. You dare to bring up such a person as a marriage match. Truly not afraid of being laughed at!" It went without saying that first matchmaker who got got off halfway was displeased. On top of that, she couldn't bear her being so proud. So she sarcastically said.

The matchmaker who was called Mrs. Xin was naturally unhappy when she saw her dismantling her stage. She retorted: "That's the females' business. What's does it have to do with Gentleman Li? What right do you have to say about me? How powerful is Chen Family's Madam, ah? You insist on lying and say she is a kind person! Fang Ru Hua, aren't you afraid of your life shortening when you lie to people like this!"

"Who are you calling a liar!"

"You!"

Seeing that the two were about to start a fight, the confused and awkward Mrs. Su hurriedly motioned Auntie Song to pull them apart and declined them with a smile: "Thank you two matchmakers for your good intention, but my You Jin is still small now. I want to keep her for two more years!"

Only then did Mrs. Xin and Mrs. Fang realize that they had lost their composure. They coughed twice in embarrassment. Mrs. Xin was thicker-skinned and responded with a smile: "Eldest Miss is almost sixteen this year. If Madam wants to keep her longer, how about just an engagement for now. It's possible to marry in later. That Chen Family's gentleman is really a top-notch talent. It would be a pity if Eldest Miss missed it!"

"Thank you for your kind thoughts, but our You Jin's personality hasn't settled yet. I want to keep her for another year or two to grind her temper. When it's time to discuss marriage in the future, I will definitely seek the two of you for help." Although Mrs. Su had a headache, she didn't dare to offend the matchmakers. After all, You Yin was the only one in the family who was engaged. The other seven daughters will need to seek marriage one after another in the future. If they offend them, finding marriage will be difficult.

In a matchmaker's line of work, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Although both of them want to take on Su Family's case, the mother had already put it this way. What else can they do? They can't force someone else's daughter to marry over, right? The two had no choice but to leave in resentment.

After leaving the gate of Su Family's house, Mrs. Xin started to berate: "Alright, you Fang Ru Hua. I was doing well with my pitch. What are you causing trouble for!"

"Me causing trouble! You're the one who lied to people!" As a matchmaker, how can their mouths be stupid? Naturally, Mrs. Fang didn't want to be outdone and fought back, "How powerful is that Chen Family's woman! Her husband wants to take in a concubine and he was beaten to half-death. You are deceiving others like this. If it isn't bad intentions, what is?"

Uncle Wang, who closed the door slowly, heard the two matchmakers arguing outside the door. He couldn't help shaking his head while sighing. Women were really scary!

***

Some people had their eyes on Eldest Miss. There were also people having their eyes on Third Miss. More precisely, it was on Sujiaxiang.

Su Family's Third Miss being in charge of Sujiaxiang's back kitchen was no secret. Many people saw Sujiaxiang getting more. Even after opening another branch, the branch shop was also selling hot. Now Sujiaxiang had became the top of the snack industry in Luohe Prefecture. Some people started to set their eyes on Third Miss. As long as there was this income, marrying this daughter-in-law was equivalent to marrying a God of Wealth back!

However, Su Family's Eldest Miss's marriage couldn't even be taken down. Third Miss was two years younger than Eldest Miss. It seemed even more hopeless. Therefore...

"Ahh! Spare me, heroine!" In the alley behind Sujiaxiang's branch shop, two stern-faced gangsters stopped the target who came out alone. Before they could give their employer who paid them a chance to save the beauty, they had already been beaten to the ground.

The exquisite embroidered shoes stepped on the backs of the two gangsters who had already been stacked together. You Zhu smiled coquettishly: "What do you two propose to do with me?"

She was so excited. This was her first time in actual combat. One must know that she was always the one who got beaten during her fights with Leader Guard. So, it felt refreshing to win a fight!

"Us two brothers' eyes didn't recognize Mount Tai. Heroine, please spare our life!" The gangster who was trampled on his back only felt pain in his chest. The corners of his mouth and nose hurted too! Who could have imagined such a delicate little girl would be so ruthless?!

They only stopped her. In a blink of an eye, he was first punched in the nose. Before he could react, he was kicked to the chest and fell to the ground. He had yet to get up when his face was beaten until swollen! Was this a little girl? She was clearly a female reaper!

The other gangster who was crushed underneath didn't receive so many punches. Still, he had been kicked by the little girl with all her strength at his root. Now he collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up. The man's tears had long ran dry. It was so painful that he couldn't even utter a word.

That gentleman only gave them brothers two liang silver to stop the little girl. He didn't say in advance that the little girl knew kung fu! A mistake! Truly a mistake!

You Zhu narrowed her eyes with a smile. She retracted her foot and half-bent down to look at the gangster on top: "Are you stopping me to rob money or rob color?"

This was her first encounter with robbery and found it fun!

"No, no, no, I don't dare to have ideas on you. Someone paid and hired us!" The little gangster obviously had no moral bottom line and he betrayed his employer without hesitation: "There is a gentleman who spent two liang silver to hire us to put Miss in a difficult spot so he could be a hero who saves the beauty. Unforeseen, heroine got skills..."

You Zhu's right hand caressed her clenched left hand as her smile became brighter: "Oh? Really? Then where is my hero? Why hasn't he come out to save me?"

Dare to take out an old fashioned 'hero saving beauty' move to show off? Truly laughable!

"It, it's the absolute truth." Seeing her clenched fists with an unsatisfactory expression on her face, the two gangsters couldn't help swallowing hard. Please no more! Otherwise, the hard work fee of two liang silver wouldn't be enough for medical expenses! Pointing to the direction of the alley entrance, he said: "I only know the gentleman has a bean-sized mole on the left side of his face. He said that as long as we stop Miss, he will come out."

You Zhu clapped her hands, looked at the empty alley, and waved her hands, "I see. You guys go. In the future, don't be so blind. Otherwise, you won't be let off so easily like now..."

Seeing the sinister smile on her face, the two gangsters felt a chill down their backs. Supporting each other, they quickly fled the scene like a scaredy cat.

As for the hero, he had already sneaked away when You Zhu started attacking. Since she sorted out the two gangsters, what to do if he got joined them too?

After fleeing with his footboy, Wei Da Lang sat in the teahouse and sighed: "Fortunately, I found out in advance that Third Su is a tigress. If such a person marries into the family, wouldn't she flaunt her female power every day in the future!"

Wei Family was in the restaurant business. It was unknown where Wei Da Lang got his information and he set his eyes on Su Family's Third Miss. But at this moment, he was thankful from head to toe. His body was delicate and expensive. If he marries a tigress back, will he be able to uphold the husband's dominance in the future? The more he thought about it, the gladder he became. However, what he didn't know was that he being glad too early.

Although it was early spring and it was still a bit cold. However, Wei Da Lang considered himself charming when waving his folding fan. He stared at the pretty girls who passed by and let out a few lewd smiles when the little girl shyly avoided him. Then he continued to search for the next target. What joy!

But his joy didn't last long. On the second evening, when he passed by a small alley, he was dragged into it. Then he was beaten with a sack wrapped over him. The person who beat him wasn't afraid of revealing her identity. While beating, she berated: "Want to be a hero saving the beauty? Give it a try!"

The strikes were quick and ruthless. He was bruised everywhere and unable to resist.

Su Family's guards carefully dodged for fear that Third Miss would accidentally hurt herself as they pressed hard on this little b*stard who held bad intentions toward Third Miss. They were both fearful and satisfied. Third Miss had mastered it! Look at how hard this kick was. Look at how vigorous this left hook was punched. She was becoming more and more heroic!

After giving an all-out beating, You Zhu shook her aching hands, stretched her waist, and glanced at the garbage still wrapped in sacks. She uttered, "Enough. Send him to Wei Family. Don't know who Gentleman Wei offended and was beaten to the brink of death. Our Su Family to draw a sword to help when we see injustice. It's just a helping hand. There is no need for his Wei Family to give a gratitude gift."

After saying that, she didn't care about the lady's manners and went directly spat on the person before swaggeringly walking away with the maid.
