Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

The matchmaker's face turned cold and she looked at Wu with displeasure.

"Second Master Gu, this is what your wife wants, is it also your idea? You are humiliating Mr. Li and Master Li like this, aren't you afraid of retaliation?"

"To be honest with you, before I came to your house, Master Li told me that he and your daughter were willing to be together for life."

"By the way, what Master Li gave your daughter is the jade pendant passed down from their Li family's ancestors. It is a treasure worth a thousand taels!"

When these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Gu Yunyan touched the jade pendant in her hand and quietly put her hands behind her back, fearing that she would be seen by the matchmaker.

However, how could she hide her little trick from the sharp-eyed matchmaker?

In fact, as soon as the matchmaker entered the room, she noticed Gu Yunyan, and she guessed in her heart that the girl in the room was probably what Young Master Li liked.

So even though she was talking to Gu Laoer and Mrs. Wu just now, her eyes were always on Gu Yunyan.

"Hey, this girl, is she the Miss Gu that our Young Master Li has been thinking about? Tsk tsk, she is indeed the one that Young Master Li likes. She is so pretty!"

The matchmaker flattered herself in front of Gu Yunyan. If Gu Yunyan really became Young Master Li's concubine in the future, she would have the opportunity to curry favor with Gu Yunyan.

Gu Yunyan didn't expect the matchmaker to suddenly talk to her. She was so scared that she stopped holding the jade pendant in time. She was immediately pulled out by the matchmaker.

"Hey, Miss Gu, this jade pendant of yours is the token of love that Young Master Li gave you, right? I recognize this jade pendant. I've seen Young Master Li wearing it before."

The matchmaker smiled flatteringly and said, "Miss Gu, our Young Master Li likes you very much. Mr. Li's family has everything, and the house he lives in is a large blue brick house with three entrances and three exits."

"If you agree to be Master Li's concubine, you will enjoy a happy life from now on!"

In the matchmaker's opinion, she only needed to gently mention the matter of the big house, and the girl from the Gu family would definitely be tempted.

However, the idea that Gu Yunyan had been instilled with since she was a child was that she would marry a scholar like her brother Gu Yunhong.

No matter how bad it is, at least we need ten scholars!

In front of the scholar, what is Young Master Li?

Gu Yunyan glanced at the matchmaker impatiently and said loudly, "What Rich Master Li or Young Master Li? I don't know him."

"My father is a student, and my elder brother is a scholar. Did you find out everything before you dare to come to my house to propose marriage? With a family like ours, how could I possibly marry Young Master Li, let alone become his concubine!"

"You better leave now, or I'll chase you away with a broom!"

Gu Yunyan thought of the old lady's previous tantrum and thought that if the matchmaker didn't leave, she would go crazy and chase her away with the broom at the door.

The matchmaker was startled and her eyes narrowed. She really didn't know that this peasant family in front of her actually had a boy and a scholar?

Before she came, she had never heard Young Master Li say these things. Young Master Li only said that the Gu family was an ordinary farming family and lived in a thatched house!

"Well, Miss Gu, you are not lying to me, are you?" The matchmaker was also a cautious person and asked carefully.

Gu Yunyan answered loudly: "Why would I lie to you? Just go to the village and ask around, ask others if my father is a student, and if my brother is a scholar?"

"Humph, let me tell you, my brother will be taking part in the provincial examination soon. If he passes and becomes a juren, you may not even be able to enter our Gu family in the future!"

When the matchmaker saw that Gu Yunyan did not seem to be lying, she immediately said some nice words, said goodbye quickly, and ran to the home of the rich man Li in the town.

Seeing that the matchmaker finally left, Gu Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself that she was really amazing!

With just a few words, the difficult matchmaker was driven away.

"Mom, look, this matchmaker isn't that great. I just said a few words and she got so scared."

Wu couldn't help but laugh and nodded: "Well, it seems that she is still afraid of your father and your brother."

That's good, it makes her feel relieved.

However, the jade pendant in Yun Yan’s hand cannot be kept, it must be returned to Young Master Li!

"Brother, why don't you help Yunyan take this jade pendant back and return it to the young master of the Li family?" Wu suddenly asked.

Wu Xiong was still immersed in the pain of what Wu had just said, "a lowly merchant family". When he heard Wu's words, he forced a smile and nodded to agree.

However, Yao didn't want to agree. After listening to what Wu had just said, she was already very unhappy.

Now, Mrs. Wu still expects her husband, Wu Xiong, to help her? She is dreaming!

Yao smiled and said, "Sister, this jade pendant was accepted by Yunyan, so it should be returned to Master Li by Yunyan. It's not a good idea to ask Wu Xiong to return it, right?"

"Your eldest brother is just running a small business in town. If he takes the jade pendant to return it, Master Li might hold a grudge against him and our family business will be lost."

"Sister, you can't cause your brother to lose his business!"

At the end of her speech, Yao actually began to choke up, which surprised Wu Xiong, and Wu was even more surprised.

However, what the eldest sister-in-law Yao said was not without reason. If Young Master Li really held a grudge against the eldest brother because he went to return the jade pendant and ruined the Wu family's business, then the eldest brother would not even be able to give her the subsidy money in the future.

So, Wu had no choice but to nod and said to Gu Laoer, "Laoer, I think you should take the jade pendant and return it to Master Li. You go with Yunhong."

"Our Yunhong is a scholar. The Li family will definitely give face to our Yunhong."

Before Yunhong became a scholar, even the county magistrate came to their house in person!

What does it matter if Mr. Li is rich? It's still the same, with nothing but money.

Gu Laoer was originally a little afraid of the power of the Li family, but after hearing what Wu said, he was energized and immediately reached out to Gu Yunyan.

"Yunyan, give me the jade pendant quickly. Your brother and I will take it to town and return it to Master Li."

Gu Yunyan held the warm jade in her hand, feeling very reluctant to part with it. This was clearly the thing Young Master Li gave her as a token of apology, so how did it become a token of love?

Now, her parents insist that she return it!

Gu Yunyan pouted and asked, "Dad, this jade, that annoying matchmaker just said it's worth a thousand taels, can't we pawn it and get some money?"

Gu Laoer was a little moved when he heard this, but Wu said firmly: "No, Yunyan, you can't keep this thing. Give it to your father quickly."

Although Mr. Li's family was a merchant family and not to be feared, Mrs. Wu still did not want to offend them, so she naturally did not dare to keep the jade pendant.

Gu Yunyan had no choice but to hand the jade pendant to Gu Laoer.
