Baozi Xishi's Struggle

Chapter 480 March 3, Shangsi Chapter

The young girl discussed her blind date candidate in such a calm manner. It was the first time for the three ladies to meet him.

The three people who were asked felt a little uncomfortable. They looked at each other and didn't know how to start for a moment.

Shen Yu smiled and said, "Do you think I'm shameless? No girl would ask you about these things."

"But think about it, this is my lifelong event. Once it's decided, it will be a lifelong thing."

“When ordering ingredients, you have to choose carefully. Only when you choose the right ones can the dishes you make taste good.”

"It's the same with getting married. Of course you can't be careless."

"It's impossible that if the other party likes me and my mother thinks he's good, I will agree to get engaged, and I won't know anything about him until he gets married. That would be too uncertain."

All three of them thought it made sense, but they still felt something was wrong.

Shen Yu's tone didn't sound like she was looking for someone to get married, but rather like she was looking for a partner to do business with, and she looked like she wanted to get the bottom of the other person first.

Seeing that the three of them still didn't speak, Shen Yu smiled faintly and said, "Marrying someone is the same as doing business. You always have to find out the details and feel that they are reliable before you can cooperate with them."

"Otherwise, who would dare to entrust their life to someone?"

"So, I have no objection to going to Taohua Lake for an outing tomorrow, but I have one request. If there is someone you like, don't rush into getting engaged."

"We need to ask someone to find out first. After we have found out everything, the two families can spend some time together and get engaged when they both think it's a good match. Is that ok?"

Li was a little hesitant, and said hesitantly: "This is not in accordance with the rules. How can two families get to know each other for a while before getting engaged like in-laws?"

"You have to have a name before you can move around."

"If this gets out, it will make people laugh."

Zheng Sanniang has rarely had her own opinions, but this time she stood on Shen Yu's side.

She said bravely: "Madam, our girl is not one of those ignorant little girls who never leave the house and are so shy that she just lowers her head when she sees someone."

"You are right, young lady. You should always raise your head and open your eyes to see clearly the character of a person before you can trust him with confidence."

"We run a restaurant and an inn, and we do business there. We see a lot of people every day."

"There are many shameless people in this world who act like decent people in front of others but act like evil people behind their backs."

"When Li Changgen came to my house to ask for marriage, he was also a handsome and reliable man."

"But who would have thought that after a few years of happily marrying him, Xiao Zhuzi and I were almost sold by him for gambling money."

"Isn't this the result of not judging people correctly and not knowing how to judge them?"

After saying this, Zheng Sanniang recalled her sad memories, and she couldn't help but feel her eyes turn red.

But just by lowering my head, taking a sip of tea, and taking a few deep breaths, I put aside all the sad past.

She looked at Li seriously, hoping that she would not just follow the rules and instead enter into a blind marriage and harm her children.

Li and Jiang seemed to be lost in thought. Yutao was still young, and although smart, she could not fully understand the pain in Zheng Sanniang's heart.

But she knew that Zheng Sanniang said this for her sister's own good, and she looked at Li with anticipation.

Li thought for a while, and when she thought of Zheng Sanniang's miserable and helpless look as she knelt there crying, she couldn't help but shudder in her heart.

As if she had made up her mind, she agreed, "Mom will listen to you and not rush to make a decision. Rules are made by people, and it is most important that you live a good life."

"As for the rest, I can't take care of so many things.

"It would be better if the two families could get along for a while like neighbors or good friends."

Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had succeeded in getting the final decision-making power, and immediately began to smile and talk.

After Li figured it out, she no longer had any worries and told Shen Yu all the details of the three candidates in her hand, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

One of the three candidates was the son of a merchant. His family owned two shops and had considerable assets.

The two were young scholars who were studying hard to seek a bright future. Their families had some land and they had no worries about food and clothing.

All three of them seemed to be three or four years older than Shen Yu. They all sounded handsome, had good character and were very reliable.

Li smiled and said, "These three are all good candidates. I had to ask the ladies I knew and went through a lot of trouble to find out about the young men from these three families."

"Although the three of them cannot go to Taohua Lake tomorrow, their mothers will go there to see you. I will ask Madam Lin to bring you to them then."

"I have secretly looked at these three gentlemen from a distance. They are all good. I don't know which one to choose for a moment."

"I heard that these three gentlemen are very popular, and their mothers have quite a few girls to look at this time."

Yu Tao suddenly seemed to understand something, and blurted out crisply: "Mother, no wonder you were not in the store these days, it turns out you went to secretly see the young man."

As soon as Yutao finished speaking, Li blushed in embarrassment and scolded her with a smile: "You little bitch, how can you talk like that!"

"You've learned bad things from your sister. If this gets out, how can I go out? People will laugh at me for being a nymphomaniac."

After Li finished speaking, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After Yutao finished speaking, she was scolded by Li and then she realized that she had said the wrong thing.

He couldn't help but cover his face with his hands, his big dark eyes secretly looking around through the gaps between his open fingers, but his shoulders were still shaking as he couldn't help laughing.

The look of wanting to laugh but not daring to do so made everyone in the room laugh so hard that they fell down.

March 3rd is Shangsi Festival.

The weather was nice today, and the sky was clear and blue when I woke up in the morning.

The spring breeze is warm, and the clear calls of birds can be heard from time to time in the warm spring breeze. There is also the sweet fragrance unique to spring, which makes people intoxicated with just one breath.

Li started busying herself early in the morning, urging Shen Yu and Yutao to eat breakfast, change clothes, and do their hair and makeup.

The affairs of the restaurant were handed over to Zhou Dalang and Zheng Sanniang, while Doctor Sun was asked to come and help look after the inn temporarily.

She and Jiang had already changed into their new spring clothes. After seeing the two sisters ready, she pulled them straight to the entrance of the inn.

At the door over there was a mule cart that Li had arranged long ago to pick them up, and it was waiting there.

As soon as Shen Yu got up and had breakfast, Li held her down and asked Zheng Sanniang to comb her hair into a bun that Shen Yu thought was impossible to keep fixed.

Although her hair looked like piled up light clouds after being combed, it was indescribably soft and beautiful with the light pink dress.

Shen Yu was very worried. He walked out of the house and walked to the door of the inn. He carefully touched her hair several times along the way: "This hair looks loose and soft. Will it become loose after walking a few steps?"
