Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money

Chapter 152: Propose Marriage with Young Madam

Lin Yuxi didn't know whether to laugh or get angry after hearing this. She did say this, but...

She looked at the unfamiliar Yang Chenchuan a few more times and couldn't help but smile. What a lovely man, he really put so much effort into just a few angry words from her. She felt inexplicably touched.

Thinking that she had hit him a little too hard just now, she asked again out of concern. Yang Chenchuan was just pretending to be dead at this point, and he covered his left leg and cried out in pain: "Ouch, it hurts so much, I'm afraid this leg is going to be crippled. I thought I was crippled. My wife, please don't abandon me."

Lin Yuxi panicked and was about to squat down to comfort him, but suddenly she saw that he was holding his left leg. She rolled her eyes, pouted, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "I stepped on the right leg, why is the pain on the left side?"

When Yang Chenchuan heard this, he didn't even blush, and quickly changed to hug the other leg, continuing to shout "Ouch".

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she had to squat down, apologize sincerely, and comfort him with soft words.

Yang Chenchuan saw the worry in her eyes, and heard her whispering to him, his heart itched, so he took the opportunity to kiss her hard a few times, then held her in his arms and refused to let her go no matter what. When she struggled, he kept complaining about pain in her feet, heart, waist, and hands. Anyway, he had mentioned all the painful places, so Lin Yuxi had no choice but to let him hold her as he wished.

Yang Chenchuan was just feeling happy when an ignorant maid came to knock on the door: "Madam, there is a matchmaker in a yellow jacket outside the mansion, she said she is here to propose marriage to you."

They were both stunned. The one in the yellow jacket was a middle-class matchmaker. Lin Yuxi thought that she must be the one that Zheng Laoshi had proposed to her.

Yang Chenchuan grumbled, seemingly unhappy. He finally got the beauty in his arms, but why was there always someone ruining his plans? She smiled at his aggrieved look, and took the initiative to kiss him on the mouth, coaxing him with a smile: "I have something to do, you be good, don't be so petty."

The coaxing tone made Yang Chenchuan's eyes gather a lot of flames. This little girl actually dared to tease him. Lin Yuxi laughed immediately, pulled his arm and walked away, "Let's go, accompany me to take a look."

Yang Chenchuan shook his head helplessly. He was really defeated by his wife.

When the two of them arrived at the front hall, the matchmaker was already waiting there. Upon seeing the two of them appear together, she first stepped forward to pay her respects and then explained her purpose.

Just as Lin Yuxi thought, it was Cuizhu who came to ask for help on behalf of Zheng Laoshi.

There have never been so many rules for a girl to marry a boy. This was the first time that a matchmaker in a yellow jacket came with the betrothal gifts in such a solemn manner.

All the maids and servants in the courtyard gathered around to watch the fun, blocking the front hall completely.

In the past, Lin Yuxi would have agreed without hesitation, but Zheng Laoshi and Cuizhu had an unpleasant incident not long ago, so she hesitated. She really wanted these girls to be happy, so she sent someone to call Cuizhu.

Cuiping had already informed her of the news. She was hiding in the house feeling uneasy. For a moment she couldn't sort out her thoughts. She felt conflicted. On the one hand she was happy, but on the other she was hesitant and didn't know how to make a decision.

When she heard the young mistress calling her, her heart began to beat fast. The maids and servants all looked over at her, causing Cuizhu to blush.

She bowed to both of them, then stood below, twisting her skirt, at a loss as to what to do.

Lin Yuxi got straight to the point and said, "Matchmaker Wu is arranging a marriage for Zheng Laoshi. I'm undecided. Do you think I should agree or not?"

Cuizhu's face had already turned as red as a monkey's butt. When she heard the young lady tell her to make the decision herself, she couldn't even raise her head. Parents have always had the final say on children's marriages. What was the point of the young lady letting her make the decision herself? She was shy.

Lin Yuxi did not rush her, letting her think slowly. She also asked the matchmaker Zheng Laoshi about the situation. The matchmaker was also instructed by Zheng Laoshi, so she told him what Zheng Laoshi said. After Zheng Laoshi returned home, he explained everything to his mother and got his parents' consent, so he asked his parents to find a matchmaker.

Cuizhu hesitated because of Zheng Laoshi's mother. She still remembered clearly what she said at that time. Now she heard that Aunt Zheng also accepted her, she couldn't help but feel happy.

With a red face, she stammered, "You, I obey Young Madam!"

Lin Yuxi smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "It's worth my love for you. Since you want to listen to me, I naturally don't want to be without a left arm and a right arm. So I will make the decision for you not to marry."

When Cuizhu heard this, she looked at Lin Yuxi in disbelief. The grievance in her heart turned into tears and burst out on the spot. Lin Yuxi rolled her eyes and said, "Why did you cry just like that? It's so boring."

Lvyun and Cuiping outside were also shocked when they heard this. They all thought that the young mistress would agree, so how could this happen?

Cuizhu felt aggrieved but she dared not feel resentful. She had to do whatever her master said. This was the sorrow of being a servant. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something but couldn't make a single sound.

Lin Yuxi was trying not to laugh, and when she saw that they were almost done playing, she smiled and said, "Okay, wipe away your tears. Your eyes are swollen from crying, and your honest brother must be worried. Go back and pack up, and wait to be your bride."

Cuizhu was stunned again. Did the young mistress... agree?!

She couldn't believe her ears and stared at Lin Yuxi in a daze. Lvyun and Cuiping outside couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this. They were reluctant to part with Cuizhu, but if she could really be happy, they would be happy for her. The two of them came in and surrounded Cuizhu, congratulating her repeatedly, making her blush like a flower.

After a while, Cuizhu finally came to her senses. She knelt down and kowtowed to the two of them, choking with sobs and saying, "Thank you, Master and Madam, for your help!"

Lin Yuxi nodded and exchanged the engagement letter with the matchmaker on the spot. After the matchmaker left, the onlookers gradually dispersed, and the unmarried maids were extremely envious.

He took her indenture and gave it to her, and asked Yang Chenchuan to write a new contract for her, which was for a period of ten years, which was equivalent to a long-term worker. He said:

"From now on, you are no longer a slave. At most, you are my worker. But you'd better not make it public. Just call yourself my maid. When you get to your husband's house, if anyone still brings this up, it's not too late for you to speak up."

After that, he promised her a few days off to go home and visit her parents.

When Zheng Laoshi set the wedding date, Lin Yuxi bought bedding and boxes for Cuizhu, and invited a tailor to make new clothes for the four seasons. She also stuffed two hundred taels of silver into her boxes as a dowry, which made all the unmarried maids in the yard envious.

On the wedding day, Cuizhu's two younger sisters were called to accompany her, and a group of musicians were invited to send her to the bridal sedan with great fanfare.

Lin Yuxi's generous dowry for the maid made the maids in the mansion praise the Second Young Madam for being a good master. Maids were all randomly assigned to be paired with a servant by their masters, but Cuizhu married a good man and won the master's favor. The Second Young Madam personally prepared her dowry.

From time to time, she lamented that her fate was not as good as Cuizhu's. For a time, the servants all respected the Second Young Lady.

The other masters in the mansion had different moods, some were disdainful, some thought it was unnecessary and useless, and some praised it. The Second Madam completely and unconditionally supported Lin Yuxi, and was extremely satisfied with this daughter-in-law. Treating a little maid so well showed that she had good intentions, and she was more relieved to leave Yang Chenchuan to her care.
