The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 112 The matchmaker comes to visit

Ji Yunzhong glanced at Jian Yue with dissatisfaction and felt very depressed.

It's a pity that Jian Yue's eyes were glued to the white silver and she didn't notice his mood changes.

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince, such a large silver ingot is not easy to carry. Can you exchange it for silver notes for me?" Jian Yue was finally willing to take her eyes off the silver ingots.

Ji Yun nodded, and Manager Yu hurriedly took the silver away and exchanged it for a few light silver bills.

Jian Yue thanked him and put the banknotes into her cross-body bag.

Jian Yue and Doctor Mao went to check on the injured man again. After finding that he did not have a fever, Jian Yue left the mansion with five hundred taels of silver and a grape vine.

Manager Yu sent a carriage to take Jian Yue home.

Doctor Mao stayed in the mansion.

The Jian family returned empty-handed and were worrying about how to raise the one thousand taels.

The county government required that the money be paid within three days as compensation to the victim. If the money was not paid within the time limit, the property would be used as collateral.

"Is anyone home?" Someone knocked at the door.

Jian Dacheng and Qian were upset and asked Meng Po to open the door. Unexpectedly, a matchmaker dressed up in fancy clothes came in, followed by two maids and two servants. The two servants carried a box tied with red silk. The two maids each held a tray covered with red cloth.

"Oh my! Master Jian, Madam Jian, congratulations! Great news is about to happen to your Jian family."

The matchmaker waved the handkerchief in her hand excitedly, and her plump white face smiled like a pumpkin flower.

Jian Xiaohe in the room curiously poked her head out, and when she recognized the matchmaker, she couldn't help but blush: Is she here to arrange a marriage for her? But she hasn't reached the age of marriage yet, isn't it a little early? But if the other party has a good family background and is good-looking, it's not impossible.

The matchmaker was enthusiastically invited into the main hall by Jian Dacheng and his wife. Although they didn't know which child the matchmaker was for, it was also a happy event for the Jian family.

Mrs. You was very tactful and made tea for Hua Matchmaker. Hua Matchmaker did not rush to say who she was matchmaking for, but instead introduced the maids and servants who came with her: "Master Jian, Madam Jian, these people are the people of the eldest young master of the Wen family. You should know the eldest young master Wen, right? He is the eldest young master of the head of the Wen family, a wine-making family. I am here today because I am asked by the eldest young master Wen to matchmake for your daughter."

"The Wen family? The imperial merchant Wen family? The Wen family that supplies tribute wine to the royal family?" Jian Dacheng asked in shock.

The matchmaker waved the handkerchief in her hand and said with a smile: "Yes, it is the Wen family. The Wen family is not only an imperial merchant, but also a great family in the capital. Master Wen Jiu of the Wen family is the number one brewing master in Nanchang. Not only that, many people in the Wen family are officials in the court. They are rich and powerful, but they are a wealthy family that thousands of women can never marry."

Jian Dacheng and his wife looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

This is really a great thing that has fallen from the sky! No matter which daughter the eldest son of the Wen family takes a fancy to, their Jian family will also prosper.

The two of them became more enthusiastic towards the matchmaker, looking at her with burning eyes. Qian couldn't wait to ask: "Which daughter of mine did Mr. Wen take a fancy to?" In her heart, Qian still hoped that Mr. Wen would choose the younger daughter. As for that ungrateful person, it would be best if he married a crippled widower or something like that, so that she could vent her anger.

But the matchmaker said: "The eldest son of the Wen family has set his sights on Miss Jian Yue from your family. Although your family is from a peasant family and is not a good match, Miss Jian Yue is at least a disciple of a genius doctor. The eldest son of the Wen family will not treat her too badly and will give her the status of a concubine."

Jian Xiaohe, who was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, felt like she was in an ice cellar, angry and resentful. Why is it Jian Zhaodi again? She gets all the advantages, does she deserve it? Why?

The eagerness in Jian Dacheng and his wife's eyes froze for a moment.

To be honest, the fact that the daughter of the Jian family could become a concubine of the Wen family was a blessing in her previous life. If it was their little daughter, Jian Dacheng and his wife would be so happy that they would set off firecrackers for three days. However, when such a good thing happened to Jian Zhaodi, they were very unwilling.

Qian curled her lips and said, "Big sister, you don't know that my daughter Zhao Di is naughty and vulgar, unfilial and unfraternal, and she is also sickly and ugly. How can she be in the eyes of Master Wen? Why don't you talk to Master Wen and ask for my sensible and pretty daughter Xiao He instead?"

Jian Xiaohe, who was feeling indignant, was startled and immediately pricked up his ears.

Matchmaker Hua looked down on me with a fake smile, saying, "Madam Jian, Master Wen has said time and again that he has his eyes on Miss Jian Yue. If your family agrees, in addition to the generous gifts I brought today, I will give you another 10,000 taels."

Ten thousand taels! !

Mr. and Mrs. Jian Dacheng took a deep breath.

They had never seen so much silver in their lives.

The matchmaker asked the maids and servants to show the things in the tray and box.

In addition to the glittering silver ingots, there were also several silver bills in the two trays.

"This is two thousand taels." Hua Matchmaker said, pointing to the open box and said, "It's all fine silk and satin materials, popular materials from Shangjing. There are also these jewelry, which are worth five thousand taels. Master Jian, Madam Jian, and Master Wen are very sincere."

Jian Dacheng and Qian's eyes lit up, and their hands and feet were shaking with excitement.

Just the things delivered today are worth 10,000 taels. If they give another 10,000 taels, they can buy a yard in the capital that is ten times better than this one. Even if they do nothing in the future, they will not have to worry about food and drink.

What is a mere 1,000 taels fine? Compared to 20,000 taels, it is just a small amount of money.

At this time, Jian Dacheng and his wife were thinking about the money, and they didn't think about why the eldest son of the Wen family would like Jian Yue. They were afraid that the duck at their mouth would fly away. Jian Dacheng hurriedly made a decision: "We are honored to be relatives of the Wen family. We have no objection to this marriage. I wonder when the eldest son of the Wen family will bring Zhaodi into the mansion?"

Jian Xiaohe, who was standing outside the door, felt as if her heart had fallen to the ground. She was extremely disappointed. She stamped her feet fiercely and ran back to her room.

The mission was successfully accomplished, and Matchmaker Hua was very happy. She didn't expect that the benefits promised by Master Wen could be obtained so easily. She smiled and said, "Master Wen will not stay in the capital for a few days, so the sooner the better. After all, Master Wen wants to take Miss Jian back to the capital."

"Can we still go to Beijing?" Qian exclaimed.

I didn't expect that this bad boy is so lucky. Not only did he become a disciple of a genius doctor, but now he is also favored by Young Master Wen. He is really in luck.

Qian felt jealous and resentful, but was also afraid that the 20,000 taels would be lost, so she did not dare to hesitate at all. It was really contradictory.

Matchmaker Hua took out a deed and said, "Since Master Jian and Madam Jian have no objection, let's sign the deed to take her as a concubine. When Master Wen comes to pick her up, we'll pay the remaining 10,000 taels of silver."

"Okay, okay, okay, no problem. I'll go get some ink and brushes." Jian Dacheng hurried to Jian Huaian's study...
