Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 258 Farce

To explain why Gao Sheng, the nephew of Ma Tongpan's wife, suddenly set his sights on Song Sanniang, we have to go back to Madam Zhuang.

She and her daughter had been humiliated by Song Sanniang, so after they left, they naturally didn't know that Old Master He wanted Song Sanniang to be his daughter-in-law.

They just thought that Song Sanniang was disliked by Madam He, especially since Song Sanniang showed off her wealth in front of them, so Madam Zhuang naturally had some thoughts.

She wanted Song Sanniang to kneel down and beg for mercy in front of her, and she also thought that this would please Madam He and make her happy, so that she could cling to her thighs.

Of course, it would be even better if we could seize the properties under Song Sanniang's name.

Mrs. Zhuang found out that Song Sanniang had close ties with the Jin family, so Ma Tongpan's wife Gao became a pawn in her hands.

Almost all the officials in the city knew that Gao was not getting along with her daughter-in-law. They also knew that she had been defeated in every battle.

Therefore, the deep conflict between the two could be taken advantage of, so Madam Zhuang kept sending people to keep an eye on Pan Ma Tong's house.

Until she knew that Gao's nephew had come, she felt that the opportunity had come. She secretly instigated Gao, hoping that she would deal with Jin Zhaohua by dealing with Song Sanniang.

If Gao was a smart person, she would not have gone against Jin Zhaohua so often. She really took the bait.

She felt that she couldn't deal with Jin Zhaohua, but wouldn't it be easy to deal with a merchant girl?

Whenever she thought about her nephew taking Jin Zhaohua's good friend as a concubine, and then bringing her sweet love to her family, she wanted to take part in the scene herself.

She knew Song Sanniang would refuse, but the saying that the people should not fight against the officials was true. The officials had a million ways to deal with people.

The simplest case is that as long as someone from the government says there is something wrong with your store and you are not allowed to open it, or if a few yamen runners stand in front of your door, the common people can just expect to lose everything they have.

When the furious matchmaker went to the Ma residence to report that she had been kicked out, Gao smiled.

"You are a matchmaker, don't you understand this?"

The matchmaker smiled shyly and said, "I am naturally not as knowledgeable as the wife of the magistrate. I hope the lady will give me some advice."

Gao glanced at her and asked, "You came here empty-handed, right?"

The matchmaker nodded, and Gao smiled and said, "That's right. Which girl would be happy to come to your house with nothing to propose marriage? Besides, some girls like to act noble. If you ask them to be your concubine, they will naturally not agree immediately.

So you have to give her some face and let her pretend. After you've been there once or twice, you shouldn't go there again.

She will naturally be anxious, and if you go to her house again, she will definitely be afraid of missing out, and the matchmaking will be successful."

The matchmaker nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, and flattered him, "Madam Tongpan is still the best. I have lived in vain these years. But what about the betrothal gift?"

Gao was a little unhappy, and she felt a little painful when she thought about having to pay the betrothal gift, but she still pretended not to care.

"I'll prepare it over the next few days. You go back and wait. When it's ready, I'll notify you to come and propose marriage."

The matchmaker then left with many thanks. After she left, Gao's nephew Gao Shengcai said angrily,

"What a bitch! I am giving her face by marrying her into my family. She is so shameless. Why do you still give her face like this, aunt?"

Gao looked at her nephew, a little unhappy, "What do you know? I heard from the prefect's wife that her store is very profitable.

You've been there before, and you should have seen how good the business is. If you go up to her and ask her to be your concubine, she will naturally be unhappy.

In the past, I would definitely not touch her. Everyone knows that the He family is behind her.

But she overestimated her own capabilities. I heard that she seduced Mr. He San and angered Mrs. He. Otherwise, I would not have taken action against her.

Who wouldn’t be jealous of the several stores she opened in Xiantao Prefecture, but no one dared to touch her. Why?

Because the He family is behind her, now she is courting death, so it's not my fault.

I will give you some dowry now, and when you get her, her shop will naturally be ours, but Madam Zhuang seems to want a piece of the pie, and I am a little reluctant to let her go."

Gao Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard what his aunt said. He smiled greedily and said, "Aunt, you are so kind to me. That woman is quite pretty.

As for the things in her hand, you can take them, and leave some for me, your nephew, to fill my teeth with."

Gao's aunt and nephew looked as if they had already gained both money and wealth. The next day, Gao had some of her dowry packed out, intending to make up for it.

It will save face, and then the matchmaker can take it to propose marriage.

Song Sanniang knew nothing about this. She was still waiting for Jin Zhaohua to come back and complain to her.

Since nothing had happened yet, there was nothing she could do. She followed the idea of ​​"if something comes, we will fight it with our own weapons", and the next day everyone in the store was on high alert.

But nothing happened in the store the next day, and nothing happened in the next two or three days. Although everyone did not relax their vigilance,

But she couldn't help but feel relieved in her heart. However, Song Sanniang knew how disgusting Gao was, so she was not so optimistic.

Sure enough, on the fifth day, the disgusting thing happened. The matchmaker came to the door of the sweet family, beating gongs and drums and carrying the betrothal gifts.

Unfortunately, the sweethearts were well prepared. Before the betrothal presenter and the matchmaker could even get close to the store door, they were stopped by all the shop assistants.

Someone in the store brought a bucket of swill and poured it over the matchmaker's head. Now everyone watching knew how disgusting the sweetheart was to the matchmaker who came to their door.

The matchmaker was so angry after being splashed with filth that she yelled, "You are courting death. I am here to propose marriage on behalf of the nephew of the wife of the magistrate, and you treat me like this!"

Song Ersao had been waiting nearby. She yelled for everyone around to move aside, and then directly poured another bucket of slop on the matchmaker.

"Bullshit, my daughter already has a potential husband, how dare you, a bitch, make my daughter a concubine?

I am being merciful by not beating you to death. If you come here again, I will break your legs with a carrying pole! Get out!!!"

The matchmaker was really afraid of being splashed with swill again, so she could only turn around and leave with the team in shame.

Song Sanniang did not show up. Song Laoer was trying to comfort the angry Song Ersao. People were talking around.

After Song Lao Er comforted Song Ersao, he bowed to everyone and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed all the neighbors and guests. My daughter is already discussing marriage with someone else.

But the matchmaker just came to ask my daughter to be a concubine. I would rather throw swill than swill.

I don't care which family she is from, but if you humiliate my daughter like this, I will protect her even if I risk my life. I'm sorry to make you laugh, please go away."

After that, he took Song Ersao back to the store, leaving the crowd outside talking about it.

Because Xiantao Mansion was the territory of the He family, Song Sanniang had never been at peace in Xiantao Mansion, so He Pingdu had never expected that someone would set their sights on her.

However, the He Mansion was not deserted, so the sweet farce naturally quickly reached the ears of He Pingdu's people.

Because He Pingdu was not there, they could not do anything, but their subordinates still sent a few people to sit there sweetly every day, and those people also greeted Song Sanniang in advance.
