Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 296
Chapter 296 Bear The Blame
Matchmaker Luo kept cursing in her heart, who said that the Yun Clan would be greedy for the dowry of Third Aunt!
Look, this betrothal gift is twice the usual betrothal gift given by a noble young master. I’m rich! This was not enough! Would you covet that little bit of silver?
So, look, this must be a trick created by the Shen Clan itself, wanting to embarrass the Yun Clan!
This time, Matchmaker Luo had already made up her mind. Later, she would take these betrothal gifts to the streets to show everyone that the Yun Clan’s betrothal gifts were not lacking in money! He wouldn’t be greedy for his third aunt’s dowry.
Yun Xiao had been watching the expression on Matchmaker Luo’s face. Seeing that Matchmaker Luo’s eyes were filled with anger and joy, her expression changed extremely quickly. A faint smile appeared in her eyes. “Matchmaker Luo, are these things enough? Why don’t you add another 16,000 taels?”
Hearing Yun Xiao’s words, Matchmaker Luo’s heart was dripping with blood. She wished that the person who was hired this time would be hired for her daughter.
Looking at the Yun Family’s fourth young lady, the moment she opened her mouth, she would add 10,000 taels. How could she see such a generous family?
Matchmaker Luo immediately waved her hand. “No need, no need, these things are enough. Just these betrothal gifts are enough for the first portion of the betrothal gifts in the capital. If the fourth young miss increases the betrothal gifts, the entire capital will be dissatisfied with the fourth young miss.” The capital does not have such a high betrothal gift, Otherwise, in the future, when all the families marry their daughters, they will want others to take so many betrothal gifts just like Yun Clan, and those families with young masters in their clans will hate Yun Clan to death?
Hearing Matchmaker Luo’s words, Yun Xiao said calmly, “Since that’s the case, then let’s add these first. I’m afraid that I’ll be wronged my cousin.”
Matchmaker Luo stood up from her seat and said respectfully, “No grievances, no grievances. No one will be wronged by such a betrothal gift.”
Yun Xiao seemed to let out a sigh of relief. “It’s good that you don’t feel wronged. Since that’s the case, then it’s decided.”
Coincidentally, Chun Lan also walked in with two plates of snacks. “Matchmaker Luo, this is the lotus cake and osmanthus cake that we just sat on. It tastes good. Matchmaker Luo, let’s try it first.”
Luo Po first took a bite and tasted it. His mouth was polarized, and it carried a faint fragrance. It was really delicious.
Matchmaker Luo sighed in her heart once again. This Yun Family’s people really knew how to enjoy it, but who would let them have money! Willful!
Matchmaker Luo stuffed two into her mouth first and immediately said, “Fourth Miss, can I bring back this dessert? Now send these betrothal gifts back first.” Of course, taking advantage of the crowd on the streets, let everyone see that Yun Clan’s wealth is also to gain fame for herself. At that time, I’m afraid that everyone in the capital will know about Matchmaker Luo.
No matter what, this business is not at a loss.
Yun Xiao smiled and said, “Alright, Chun Lan, wrap these snacks in a handkerchief and bring them to Matchmaker Luo. Also, let the big kitchen make some more delicious snacks today and send them back to Matchmaker Luo’s house.”
Hearing this, Matchmaker Luo felt even more grateful to Yun Xiao in her heart.
Yun Xiao raised her head to look at Madam Lu and Yun Maozhe and said respectfully, “Mother, father, I will go out with Matchmaker Luo first and settle the betrothal gift.”
Why would Madam Lu disagree to the end? Even though she smiled and said, “Alright, you guys go over first. If there’s anything missing, you can add it on. There’s no need to come over and report it.”
Yun Xiao answered and immediately left with a smile. Just as she left the main courtyard, Yun Xiao asked Chun Lan to give Matchmaker Luo a gold ingot. When Matchmaker Luo received the gold ingot, her hand trembled slightly. “Fourth Miss, isn’t this a bit too much?” She had already taken two of Yun Xiao’s gold ingots, and now that she was going to take them again, she felt somewhat guilty.
Of course, Matchmaker Luo’s heart was constantly shouting that she must accept it.
Yun Xiao naturally understood Matchmaker Luo’s thoughts. A faint smile flashed across the corner of her mouth and she said softly, “No problem, I have to trouble Matchmaker Luo to run errands these days. These are all hard money for Matchmaker Luo. Matchmaker Luo will go on.”
Matchmaker Luo was only rejecting her words. Seeing Yun Xiao’s words, she took the gold over again, and the smile on her face became even more intense.
With these three gold ingots, even if she didn’t become a matchmaker for the rest of her life, she wouldn’t starve to death. Therefore, Matchmaker Luo’s eyes were full of smiles.
Yun Xiao brought Matchmaker Luo to see the betrothal gift. Of course, neither of them mentioned anything about the third aunt of the Yun Family.
When Matchmaker Luo saw a courtyard full of large boxes, at this time, these boxes were filled with exquisite jade articles, each one of which was hard to put down.
When she looked at this, Matchmaker Luo’s eyes went straight. She had never seen so many treasures under the blanket before.
Matchmaker Luo pointed at the big boxes with trembling hands. Her face was full of smiles. “Fourth Miss, are these betrothal gifts?”
Under Matchmaker Luo’s surprised gaze, Yun Xiao nodded her head and said softly, “Yes, these are betrothal gifts. I have already had people prepare them. I’ll let the guards carry them later. Matchmaker Luo will send all these betrothal gifts back to the Lan Family.”
The flesh on Matchmaker Luo’s face couldn’t help but tremble. She whispered, “Alright, alright, alright. I will definitely live up to Fourth Young Lady’s trust.”
Yun Xiao summoned the guardian, closed the big boxes one by one, and then lifted them up, “Matchmaker Luo, this candy will be hard on you.”
Matchmaker Luo immediately waved her hand with an excited smile on her face. “It’s not hard, it’s not hard, it’s not hard at all to work for the fourth girl.”
Yun Xiao watched Matchmaker Luo leave the Yun Clan with quite a few people carrying things. A faint smile flashed across the corner of her mouth and she said to Chun Lan, “Have someone prepare a simple carriage. Let’s go out to see the fun.”
Chun Lan also knew that today’s matter must be a boiling soup. She couldn’t help but want to inquire about the news, but she still had to endure it. With Yun Xiao’s orders, she didn’t dare to hesitate and immediately ran away.
Not long after, a simple carriage slowly walked out of the Yun Clan’s back door. After circling the alley for a few times, it finally circled the main street in front of it.
It just so happened that she could see Matchmaker Luo passing by with that group of gigantic betrothal gifts, and they could still send out a shadow of the betrothal gifts.
Moreover, this matchmaker Luo seemed to be doing it on purpose, This group of people walked extremely slowly. Matchmaker Luo greeted the people they met with excitement. She smiled and said, “Come and take a look. This is a betrothal gift from the Yun Clan to the Lan Clan. The Yun Clan is very generous. I’ve been a matchmaker for most of my life. I’ve never seen such a generous person before. Just these betrothal gifts alone are worth 60,000 taels of silver!”
Matchmaker Luo was still quite popular in the capital. In addition, her voice was loud, so many people who heard this immediately surrounded her.
There was even a man who directly asked Matchmaker Luo, “Matchmaker Luo, are you boasting? A betrothal gift of 60,000 taels of silver is rare in the capital. Do I remember that the maximum betrothal gift in the capital is 40,000 taels of silver? Are you trying to fool us this time?”
Matchmaker Luo rolled her eyes at the man, “Is my old woman someone who can make people angry like that?” The Yun Clan is the largest merchant in the capital. They are different from those people. Will they care about the tens of thousands of silver taels? Moreover, if I hadn’t stopped him, the four Yun Clan girls would have given him another 10,000 taels of betrothal gifts. Only then would the Yun Clan be truly generous! If I could have a daughter in this life, even if I were to be a concubine for the Yun Clan’s young master, I would still be willing! ”
Matchmaker Luo’s previous words even caused others to roll their eyes, but in the end, they made others feel somewhat at a loss as to whether to laugh or cry.
Another person continued to say, “Matchmaker Luo, your mouth usually can bring a dead person to life. Your words are really going to be greatly reduced.”
Matchmaker Luo wasn’t angry at all this time. Instead, she smiled and said, “That’s because you didn’t see it. Look at the bride price squad behind me. There are so many good things that don’t have the value of 60,000 silver taels?”
Everyone looked at this group of people and found it hard to continue. However, one of them laughed loudly and said, “Matchmaker Luo, this group of people is not fake. We are all watching, but you all heard that the dowry of the Yun Clan’s Third Aunt is actually made of stone sand. Are these boxes also filled with stone sand?”
The man’s words immediately caused a burst of laughter.
Matchmaker Luo’s face was full of smiles. Looking at that person with a look of disdain, he coldly snorted and then said, “Is she married? Everyone will follow me to the entrance of the Lan Manor to see if it is true. When the time comes, the people of the Lan Manor will definitely give a light betrothal gift. Whether it is true or false will be obvious. There is no need to waste time here. Moreover, the Yun Family does not lack that little silver. They will cheat Third Aunt’s betrothal gift.” Do I look hygroscopic? Perhaps you are a member of the Shen Clan! Compared to the Yun Clan, whose clan has the greatest wealth? “I heard that the Shen Clan is currently overstretched. Perhaps they have nothing to do, so they decided to trick the Yun Clan’s third aunt and cheat her of her dowry.”
At this moment, Matchmaker Luo’s heart was directed towards the Yun Clan. Just the three gold ingots alone made Matchmaker Luo jealous. If she could say that the Yun Clan would undo such a reputation, then the Yun Clan’s fourth young miss would definitely reward her with a few more gold ingots, right?
At that time, she would bring her son with her, and even if she left the capital, she would still be able to survive!
Many people were moved by Matchmaker Luo’s words.
What she said was right. Whether it was true or false, she only needed to know at first glance.
At that time, as long as everyone asked, the Lan Clan would definitely show them the betrothal gifts. In this way, everyone would know whether the Yun Clan and the Shen Clan were the Shen Clan or the Yun Clan had coveted the dowry of the Third Aunt.
Originally, it was only Matchmaker Luo who brought the servants of the Yun Clan to the Lan Clan to offer betrothal gifts, but now, everyone on the streets had followed them to the Lan Clan to see the betrothal gifts of the Yun Clan.
Of course, there were also quite a few peddlers who picked up their own goods and followed the crowd.
At this moment, the entrance of the Lan Clan was the liveliest. Going to the entrance of the Lan Clan would definitely be able to sell his things faster. If he didn’t go at this time, when would he be waiting to go?
Therefore, after Matchmaker Luo’s journey, there weren’t many people behind her. She had truly become an empty alley.
On the back of an ordinary carriage, Chun Lan opened a corner of the curtain and kept looking at the queue outside. This queue was getting more and more, it was simply terrifying.
Chun Lan put down the curtain and said with a smile on her face, “Young lady, I didn’t expect this matchmaker Luo to be so eloquent. This time, she will definitely wash away the reputation of our Yun Clan. This servant, look, no one will say that our Yun Clan will covet Third Aunt Mo’s dowry again.”
When Yun Xiao heard this, the corner of her mouth slowly curled into a faint smile. No one knew the whole story better than her.
Yun Yao’s dowry was indeed made of stones and sand. Those stones and sand were personally installed by Yun Yao herself.
Coincidentally, with this kind of formation, it was possible to cleanse his previous actions.
Yun Xiao Gujing Wubo’s eyes flashed with a harsh expression. This time, she must make sure that the Shen Clan would never recover, so that the Shen Clan would no longer have the chance to turn around.
They would also have to carry the reputation of being the dowry of the third aunt of the Greedy Mo Yun Clan for the rest of their lives!
