Therefore, even if Mrs. Ma said something, Li Shuan still wouldn't nod.
Even if Wang Yue was promising, his reputation for bringing bad luck to his wife was too loud. Wang Yue was promising, but the premise was that he could enjoy it.
If he didn't have the fortune to enjoy it, then what was the use of Wang Yue being promising?
Li Shuan was a father who sincerely thought about his child. Therefore, even if Wang Yue was promising, he just smiled and didn't nod.
Mrs. Ma saw that Li Shuan was just beating around the bush and didn't answer, so she knew what Li Shuan was thinking.
After Ma Family's woman sighed, she said a few words to Li Shuan and then left sensibly.
After Mrs. Ma left, Jiujiu, who was talking to a customer, smiled and looked at Wang Yue, who was standing not far away.
Seeing Jiujiu looking at him, Wang Yue walked over and said to Jiujiu, "I'm here to buy tofu for my mother."
Hearing Wang Yue say that he was here to buy tofu, Jiujiu smiled and said, "How much does Brother Wang want to buy?"
Hearing Jiujiu ask how much he wanted to buy, Wang Yue was a little embarrassed. Aunt Wang didn't say that she wanted to buy tofu, so he could only ask casually, "How much do you have?"
"There are still ten pounds."
"I'll take all of it." Hearing Jiujiu say that there were still ten pounds, Wang Yue said that he wanted all of it without thinking.
Originally, Jiujiu thought that Wang Yue came to find her. She didn't expect him to say that he wanted all of it. She laughed out loud.
Jiujiu looked at Wang Yue standing opposite her and said with a smile, "Aunt Wang only bought two pounds before. Brother Wang, are you sure you want ten pounds? Why don't you buy two pounds first and then come back to buy more when it's not enough? "
Wang Yue pursed his lips and nodded.
Jiujiu quickly cut two pounds of tofu for Wang Yue. After sending Wang Yue away, Mrs. Wang's voice sounded in her ears, "Xiang 'er."
This time, the person who came with Mrs. Wang was not Wang Gui, but a matchmaker who had once acted as a matchmaker for Jiujiu.
If one were to say that the Ma family's woman was a matchmaker with integrity, then this matchmaker's integrity was without a limit. Especially her behavior of randomly matching couples was simply outrageous. Back then, she had received money to turn a fool into a flower. By the time that girl married him, it was already too late. She could only suffer the consequences.
Because of this incident, her reputation had been ruined. Those who were slightly more sensible would rather go to her house than ask her to act as a matchmaker. No one knew how she got together with Wang Shi.
Jiujiu didn't hear the news that Zhu Changsheng, the son of Madam Wang's younger brother, had been beaten to death. She guessed that Zhu Changsheng had escaped because she had left without marrying.
Therefore, this matchmaker was probably here to act as a matchmaker for Zhu Changsheng.
It made sense. Any matriarch who knew a thing or two would know how much of a hooligan Zhu Changsheng was. He wasn't that old, but he was good at eating, drinking, and whoring. He would spend about half a month in a brothel, and the other half of the month would be spent either fooling around with his bad friends or those brothels' prostitutes. A person like him would be better off dead than alive.
Therefore, it was probably because Zhu Changsheng was too much of a scoundrel that any matchmaker who was slightly more sensible would not be willing to accept this matter. Therefore, Mrs. Wang found such a money-grubbing matchmaker to make her agree.
It was already noon, and the tofu pudding had long been sold out. Jiujiu was originally waiting for Lianshi to come out and go back for her afternoon nap. At this moment, when she saw Mrs. Wang and the matchmaker, she sat lazily on the stool and rested her chin on one hand as she looked at Mrs. Wang and the matchmaker standing opposite her. She smiled faintly and said, "What's the matter?"
Although Jiujiu still had a smile on her face, the look in her eyes could not be considered friendly.
When the matchmaker came, she had heard from Mrs. Wang that Jiujiu's appearance was beautiful. However, the description was not as shocking as seeing her with her own eyes. Especially at this moment, when Jiujiu lazily rested her chin on her hand and smiled, she looked even more charming. Even though she had seen many beautiful girls before, she could not help but stare straight at her.
This girl was not beautiful at all. She was simply too beautiful. She finally understood why Zhu Changsheng was so fixated on Jiujiu. Even the emperor was moved by her appearance, let alone that lecherous Zhu Changsheng.
The matchmaker was here to act as a matchmaker. She immediately smiled and said to Mrs. Wang, "Seeing is believing. Xiang 'er is really beautiful."
Hearing the matchmaker's words, Jiujiu's smile deepened. Just when the matchmaker thought that Jiujiu's temper was getting better, Jiujiu suddenly said, "Auntie, who are you? Do I know you?"
The matchmaker did not expect Jiujiu, who looked delicate and soft, to be so sharp with her words. The matchmaker's face stiffened. She turned her head and asked Mrs. Wang with her eyes what was going on.
As soon as Jiujiu spoke, Mrs. Wang knew that this matter was probably going to be difficult.
Mrs. Wang reached out and patted the matchmaker's hand. She looked at Jiujiu and said with a smile, "Xiang 'er, this is your Auntie Li. She's here today to be your matchmaker."
"Matchmaker?" Jiujiu raised her eyebrows slightly. She looked at the matchmaker and said, "It's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Since you're matchmaking, you can just tell my father. Why are you looking for me?"
"I know that Xiang 'er is a well-behaved girl. However, marriage concerns your entire life. Naturally, I have to tell you." After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she reached out and nudged the matchmaker, indicating for her to speak.
After receiving Mrs. Wang's signal, the matchmaker immediately spoke.
The matchmaker was paid to do this, so she naturally chose to say good things. Even though Zhu Changsheng was as rotten as a pile of mud, when it came out of her mouth, it sounded like he came from a good family. Especially when she said that he fell in love with Jiujiu at first sight, the matchmaker looked at Jiujiu. She wanted to see the expression on Jiujiu's face.
However, to the matchmaker's disappointment, Jiujiu was not shy at all. She did not even look nervous. Instead, Jiujiu looked at her with a half-smile and was full of ridicule.
Matchmaker's originally confident heart instantly felt a little uneasy, especially when Jiujiu was looking at her. She stuttered as she spoke, no longer looking like her glib tongue from before.
After the matchmaker finished speaking, Jiujiu held her chin and said lazily, "Why do I hear that Zhu Changsheng is always hanging around brothels? A few days ago, he even got into a fight with someone on the street for the title of Courtesan Belle."
Zhu Changsheng was famous for his love of visiting brothels. A few days ago, he got into a fight with someone over the title of Courtesan Belle. However, because he had a few bad friends with him at the time, he did not suffer a big loss. Nevertheless, his reputation became even worse.
Of course, this kind of thing was usually said by some old wives. An unmarried girl like Jiujiu would never know about it.
However, Jiujiu opened a breakfast stall in front of the door, so Jiujiu heard about it.
