Chapter Sixteen: Then Marry Me First

In the backyard, Song Kai was stunned when he heard Nie Lingling say this, "Why is it suddenly so anxious?"

"I don't know, I don't know what Yang Huaiyan said to my father. In short, it seems that my father made up his mind this time, and even knelt down to me last night. I... As my daughter, I don't know what to do now." Liu Yuchan's pretty face was a little pale, and her beautiful eyes were a little painful.

The two of them were silent for a while at the same time.

Liu Yuchan sat down on a log in the backyard, sighed softly, and said, "Maybe, I'm thinking too much. Women, this is the fate, how many women can be lucky enough to choose their husbands freely? What's more, just a quick glance five years ago, maybe that person is dead now, maybe he has something to do with his heart, the most affectionate and kindness, I... am I stupid."

Song Kai sat down next to Liu Yuchan.

Liu Yuchan talked about her own thoughts. She always regarded Song Kai as the best listener, perhaps because Song Kai was dull and stupid, or perhaps because Song Kai was willing to truly understand her. Liu Yuchan was willing to say these shameful words to Song Kai.

Although Song Kai seems to be a little different now, in Liu Yuchan's opinion, he is still his childhood playmate and his friend, that's all, and that's all.

After saying that, Liu Yuchan sighed, turned to look at Song Kai, and smiled miserably, "Thank you, Song Kai, if it weren't for you, maybe I would have married a wife long ago."

Song Kai looked at the beautiful woman in front of him silly. The women in the Tang Dynasty were so charming. They were lucky. At least, they were much luckier than the feudal women after the Song Dynasty, because they could show up in public and ride on Hu clothing and shoot, but they were still unfortunate. They had to obey the orders of their parents and matchmakers.

"Don't be sad for me," Liu Yuchan reached out and patted Song Kai's cheek gently. "Marrying Yang Huaiyan may not be a bad thing. His family is quite wealthy, and his father is an official in the court. It is said that he will be promoted in the year. Moreover, Yang Huaiyan is very talented and handsome, and maybe... maybe he is a good man."

Liu Yuchan seemed to comfort Song Kai, and also seemed to convince herself.

Song Kai suddenly stood up and said, "Yu Cicada."

"Ah?" Liu Yuchan looked at Song Kai.

"Marry me," Song Kai said seriously.

Liu Yuchan burst out laughing, "It's natural to marry you, but how could my father agree?"

Song Kai also laughed, "In this way, you promised to marry me."

Liu Yuchan stretched out a finger and pressed against her chin, "That's natural. Marrying you, at least I will be very free. Someone will talk to me. If you meet that person again in the future, you will support me and let me be with him, right?"

"Ah?" Song Kai was stunned for a moment and sighed in his heart. Wouldn't that be cuckolded? But I would rather you marry me and cuckold yourself for the person you like in the future than marry that bastard Yang Huaiyan.

Nodded, Song Kai said, "Yes! Since you agreed, I will find someone to go and talk to the matchmaker."

"Can it work?" Liu Yuchan stood up when she saw that Song Kai was not joking. She felt that Song Kai seemed to be a little different. Song Kai was too weak in the past, so weak that Liu Yuchan always treated him as her sister. But today, it seemed to be different.

Song Kai grinned, "Just agree, don't worry, I will definitely convince your father."

Liu Yuchan nodded heavily, "Although I don't believe it very much, I'm willing to believe it."

Song Kai stretched out his hand and gently pinched Liu Yuchan's nose, "Then go home and wait for good news."

Liu Yuchan smiled, "Okay, it's the final struggle."

Taking the veil again, Liu Yuchan left quietly.

Song Kai paced back and forth in the yard, thinking about how to convince Liu Jiqian. The bet he made with him last time can be used now, but he is afraid that the guy will regret it.

"Uncle Fu, Uncle Fu!" Song Kai thought for a while and couldn't come up with any idea. He couldn't take his own things to his mother-in-law's house like in the 21st century.

Uncle Fu bent over and ran over, "Dalang, what's the matter?"

"Uncle Fu, tell you something, go to Liu Jiqian and Liu's shopkeeper to propose marriage," Song Kai ordered.

"Ah?" Ah Fu was startled, "Dalang, are you... you are confused again."

"Why am I confused?" Song Kai glared at Ah Fu, "Now our inn has been opened, and we will definitely make money every day in the future. No matter how I say I am a scholar, I have no status but my identity is not worse than their merchant family. Go quickly and go quickly, and have a good family, why are you confused?"

Afu cried and thought for a while, and said, "Okay, Dalang, I'll go and discuss with the matchmaker Jiang on the West Street to see what she has to do."

"Finish! Prepare more brides, and then marry Mrs. Liu. Those brides are ours. Manager Liu has only one daughter. Do you think, the family business cannot belong to us?" Song Kai patted Ah Fu on the shoulder.

When Ah Fu thought about it, he went to find the matchmaker with peace of mind.

In the front hall, there were crowds of people eating.

Nie Lingdang had a dog skin plaster on his face, and stood behind the counter looking at the account book.

"Miss Lingdang, have you been promoted to the shopkeeper?" Sun Ximei brought a group of people to pay the bill. She and Nie Lingdang had known each other for a long time, and she knew even more that Nie Hong was actually the name of Lingdang.

Lingling raised her head, "Ah", and said, "Yes, you know, that guy Song Kai is too lazy, just wants to be a hand-off manager."

"Haha," Sun Ximei smiled, her smile was not very good-looking. She looked down and saw Nie Lingling drawing strange symbols on the account book.

"What are these?" Sun Ximei asked.

"It's a number, Song Kai taught me, what is it... what is it for Auberge numerals, it's easy to keep accounts," Nie Lingdang replied casually, "You don't need to have abacus."

"Is that so magical?" Li Menghan from behind squeezed over, her round little face was extremely cute. She blinked her big eyes and looked at the numbers on the account book, and then pouted, "I don't believe it."

Nie Lingdang didn't tell the difference and said, "There are 930 cents in total, because you are the supreme members of our store. Each hundred cents is 15 cents cheaper, and the total is cheap... cheap..."

Nie Lingdang scratched his ears and his forehead.

Sun Ximei laughed, "Sister Lingdang, you are not qualified, I will calculate for you."

As he said that, Sun Ximei grabbed the abacus at hand.

"It's a total of 140 cents cheaper, you need to pay 790 cents," Song Kai walked over from the passage behind and spoke.

A silence.

Nie Lingling couldn't calculate it, and Sun Ximei was digging the calculations there. A minute later, she looked up in surprise and stared at Song Kai, "You've just passed the morning, right?"

Song Kai rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, please pay the bill quickly. Whose account will be recorded in this time?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Just as Sun Ximei was about to speak, Li Menghan came over and said, "My account, I will also have an account tomorrow... Well, that's the word, upgrade the account to the Supreme Card. Hehe, it's so much cheaper."

Song Kai opened the account book, found Li Menghan's name, and wrote the words 790 cents.

Sun Ximei still looked dumb, and the abacus in her hand was pivoting around. I wonder how Song Kai calculated so fast.

"Miss Liu is gone?" Nie Lingling asked in a low voice.

"Well," Song Kai muttered a little annoyed, "Do you think it's difficult to come to propose marriage?"

"How could I know!" Nie Lingding replied impatiently.

Li Menghan listened strangely to the conversation between the two.

Sun Ximei pulled Li Menghan away from Hongchen Inn.

Let’s talk about Ah Fu bringing two staples of copper coins, buying some cloth, gifts, etc. to the home of Jiang Matchmaker in West Street.

When Jiang Po saw that it was Ah Fu, she had no good expression, "Oh, isn't this Uncle Fu? Why did she come to visit my house?"

Afu put the thing on the small table of Jiang Matchmaker, with a smile on his face, and said, "Don't you know that Jiang Po, you are very powerful, and come to ask you to tell Dalang about your marriage?"

Jiang Po looked at Ah Fu with a squinted look, then looked at the gift box on the table, without expressing her opinion, just sneered: "Uncle Fu, you are really confused. Your Dalang is a scholar and is a handsome man. Why do you still have to be old..."

Afu knew what Jiang Po meant, so he spread his hands, put the copper coins on the table, and pushed the gift towards Jiang Po. The gift was very valuable.

Mrs. Jiang was slightly surprised. She didn't know much about the Hongchen Inn. She thought that Song Kai was the poor and silly boy who was not able to eat or wear a shirt before. When she saw this thank-you gift, she was a little hesitant.

A Fudui smiled and said, "Por Jiang, you don't know anything. Recently, Hongchen Inn has reopened. I'm just making a net profit of ten taels of gold in one day yesterday. Oh, I'll think about it..."

"Ten taels of gold?" Mrs. Jiang was startled, looked at Ah Fu, her eyebrows were bent, and she smiled and said, "Uncle Fu, are you here to spend the fun of the old woman?"

"How could that happen?" Ah Fu waved his hand, "I am also a tactful person. If my family hadn't suddenly improved, I wouldn't dare to propose marriage to Dalang, right? Jiang Po, let's not hide it. Our Dalang said that as long as Jiang Po can tell you well, there will be ten taels of gold to honor you afterwards."

Mrs. Jiang's hand trembled suddenly, and her arms stretched out, and she hugged the copper coins on the table in front of her, "Uncle Fu, you are joking, okay, which girl Song Lang likes? My old woman will definitely help Dalang to tell this marriage."

"Aren't you still the woman from Manager Liu's family? Jiang Po, you know that they are young and have similar friendships. It's okay for the Song family to fall into decline before. Now our Dalang time is coming, and it's time to fulfill the two of them," A Fudui smiled.
