Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 274 Zhuangzi's Casual Chat

That night, He Pingdu told Song Sanniang about finding a wife for Xiao Jinzi. Song Sanniang thought it was too simple.

She herself trained many literate women, some of whom she rescued, some of whom she had the courage to find, and some of whom she found herself.

She agreed immediately and began to screen in her mind.

Little Jinzi is only 18 years old this year. She has been with He Pingdu for so long that she has become quite stylish.

If he wasn't a servant, others might think he was the son of a scholar's family.

He looks ordinary, but after watching him for a long time, you will find that he is calm and composed in his behavior, with a righteous look in his eyes and a sunny and cheerful smile. He is a good young man.

Song Sanniang suddenly thought of someone, that is Tan Dandan.

This little girl was cute and lovable when she was little, but now she has grown up to be a bookworm who loves reading.

Although she was full of bookish air, she was still as innocent and naive as she was in her childhood. She still corresponded with Song Sanniang and Song Zuling.

Song Zuling is now helping Song Sanniang run a store in the place where her husband's family lives.

Not long ago, someone wrote to me saying that Tan Dandan was in such a bad mood that she was worried that the other person would treat her badly if she married him. She was very upset.

So Song Sanniang made up her mind and wrote a letter and asked someone to deliver it to Song Zuling the next day.

In the letter, she first talked about Xiao Jinzi's situation, and then asked Song Zuling for her opinion. If she agreed, she would let her come and talk to the Tan family.

After all, Xiao Jinzi was a servant. Although she was not a slave, ordinary families would not marry a servant, especially Tan Dandan's family was not the kind of family that would sell their daughters for fame.

Xiao Jinzi has been with He Pingdu for so many years, so his wealth is certainly not comparable to that of an ordinary servant. The rewards and subsidies from He Pingdu are enough for his wife to live a good life with nothing to lose.

He Pingdu didn't just ignore everything when he came to Wuyou Manor. The next day, when everyone went to the lake to fish, He Changyun came with some documents that He Pingdu had to deal with. He Pingdu kept him and asked him to join in the fun.

Song Sanniang had just been assigned by He Pingdu to help Xiao Jinzi find a wife. Seeing He Changyun's refined and elegant manner, she was eager to act as a matchmaker.

This is a blue chip, but she lost interest when she learned that he had been married for many years and had two children.

He Pingdu smiled at her and said, "Do you think everyone is as chaste as your husband, and has remained a virgin for you until this age?

For example, Xiao Jinzi's younger brothers are all married, but Xiao Jinzi is still single. It's because I haven't married myself that he won't marry. In a word, it's me who delayed him."

Song Sanniang thought that Xiao Jinzi didn't marry because he hadn't found a suitable wife, but she didn't expect it was because of He Pingdu.

Although she didn't quite understand Xiao Jinzi's idea, it didn't stop her from admiring Xiao Jinzi, because his younger brother was married, and his parents must have put a lot of pressure on him. At this time, getting married and continuing the offspring was a big deal.

He Pingdu was unhappy when he heard her praising Xiao Jinzi. He was obviously the one who deserved the praise the most. He had kept his chastity for her for many years.

Song Sanniang kissed him quietly when no one was paying attention, and then leaned close to his ear and said, "I know you are the best, so I will reward you tonight."

He Pingdu couldn't hold back any longer after hearing this, so he had to hold Song Sanniang's hand tightly to hint her not to tease him.

He Pingdu and Song Sanniang did not take the boat, but sat next to each other on the shore, with their fishing rods placed randomly, hoping that only those who were willing to take the bait would be caught.

But little brother Song was very excited. He sat on the boat and leaned over the edge of the boat to splash water from time to time.

Si Niang and Wu Niang were sitting side by side on the boat fishing. With Song Xiaodi splashing water on them, they naturally couldn't catch any fish.

The two men had no choice but to teach Song Xiaodi a lesson, but Song Xiaodi laughed even more happily and took out his fishing rod to start fishing.

He was lucky and caught the fish before everyone else, but he didn't have enough strength, so the four women helped pull the fish into the boat.

The fish was thrashing around in the boat, shaking it. It was a really big fish, probably a 10-pound carp.

Song Xiaodi was so happy that he jumped up on the boat, which scared Si Niang and the other two.

Uncle Huang, who was rowing the boat, grinned and said, "Don't be afraid, ladies. The boat is stable. Nothing will happen."

Seeing the murderous eyes of his two sisters, Song Xiaodi had no choice but to squat on the boat and play with the fish he caught.

The more he watched, the happier he became. He felt that it was a pity that his parents were not around. Otherwise, he could let his parents see how good he was and how he could catch a ten-pound carp.

Today was destined to be a fruitful day for everyone, as almost everyone caught some fish.

After half a year of recuperation, the fish in Bishui Lake are much bigger than the last time we caught them. Today is another day of fish feast.

Aunt Gan listened to Song Sanniang's words and used all her skills to prepare a table of delicious dishes that would make people's mouths water.

There are pickled fish, grilled fish, fried fish, steamed fish, ginger and scallion fish fillet, fish fillet porridge, fish head tofu soup, etc., and there are also a few dishes that are not fish.

There were a lot of fish caught and a lot of dishes cooked. Song Sanniang and her friends couldn't finish them all, so the rest of the people in the village came to eat as well.

Everyone set up a table in the kitchen yard. Song Sanniang and her friends ate inside, while they ate outside. It was as lively and festive as a holiday.

He Pingdu was a person who didn't like eating fish very much, because when he was a child, he had a fish bone stuck in his throat. That day, all the servants who served him were beaten by his mother, and he never saw those people again.

Among them was a nanny he liked very much. The nanny didn't like to talk much in front of him, but no matter what he liked or wanted, as long as he looked at her, she would always give him what he wanted.

He was a little distracted when Song Sanniang gave him a few pieces of grilled fish. She smiled and her eyes were full of anticipation of sharing with him.

"Eat it. This grilled fish is made from tilapia and has no bones. I'm serving you the charred side.

Even though it’s burnt, it tastes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and is super delicious.”

He Pingdu started eating more fish after she got together with Song Sanniang. She always had many strange ideas in her mind.

Even cooking fish can come up with so many ways. He met her inquiring eyes and ate the fish in the bowl. It was just as she said, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

If the food was burnt in the He family, the people in the kitchen would have to be replaced. He never thought that one day he would be happy and delighted to eat burnt fish.

He couldn't help but nod his head at Song Sanniang, "It's really delicious."

His movements were similar to those of Song Xiaodi. Perhaps it was due to her influence, but Song Sanniang found it funny.

He is so cute like this. He no longer has that half-smiling, sarcastic look he had when we first met.
