Chapter 135 Talk about the Affinity

The first night's events were controlled by Guo Li in a small area, so the next day, the village was still calm as usual, and even most people did not find that the Hong family's door was abnormally closed.

The sun has just risen, and the sun makes people warm. It is a comfortable time when it is not cold or hot.

Old man Xu went to work with his sons. Now that the farming is busy before the autumn harvest, each family dares not delay, which is related to the food and clothing of the whole family in the coming year.

Mrs Xu cut a knife of chives from her home and basked in the sun at the door of the house. While choosing chives, she looked at the chickens in the yard in front of the door to prevent them from going in and pecking the vegetables grown in the fence.

"Is there anyone at home?"

When the sun rose to a little hot, the leeks had also been chosen. Mrs. Xu was about to enter the house with a vegetable basket when she heard a movement from the door, and the sound was a little familiar.

Two steps to the door, it turned out to be Mrs. Cheng, who was the matchmaker, who was looking in at the door.

Mrs Xu quickly put down her basket and greeted Mrs. Cheng, "Isn't this his Aunt Cheng? What's the wind blowing you here today? Come in and sit down!"

Mrs. Cheng pushed the door and came in. She grabbed Mrs. Xu's hand and said very affectionately, "Oh, old lady, why do you close the door in the blue sky and day? I thought there was no one at home? Your cold voice scared me.

"I've gone to work on the ground. I'm at home alone, and it's inconvenient to open the door, so I cover it up."

It was naturally a good thing for the matchmaker to come to the door. Mrs. Xu let people into the room with a smile and felt that most of the depression in recent days had been swept away.

Let Mrs. Cheng sit on the kang. Mrs. Xu brought herbal tea. Originally, she was drying the tea for the people who went to work on the ground, but now she brought it over to entertain the guests first.

Mrs. Cheng was really thirsty. She poured down a large bowl and then looked at Mrs. Xu with a smile, grinning at the corners of her mouth to the back of her ear. She pulled her down and said, "Hey hey! Sister, I have brought you good news. Don't say that I have good things that I don't miss you in the future.

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she immediately understood most of the words. Naturally, the matchmaker came to talk about marriage. There were still four and Lingzi at home who did not talk about marriage. Lingzi's matter is not urgent for the time being. Lao Si's marriage has been released by herself. It is normal for someone to come to talk about peace, but recently it has been delayed by the second brother's affairs, and now finally When the matchmaker came.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu was even more enthusiastic. She grabbed a plate of snack that was usually locked in the cabinet and brought out to entertain Mrs. Cheng. She also sat back on the kang and asked with a smile, "Then what's the good news?"

"Of course, I'm here for your fourth brother." Mrs. Cheng looked at the words and saw that Mrs. Xu was happy. She suddenly had a sense in her heart. She took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, put on a big picture, and began to praise Xu Laosi hard.

"When it comes to your fourth son, he is really a talented person and a scholar, which is much better than those people in your village who plan their food in the dirt. Although he hasn't been admitted to fame yet, he is still young and has many opportunities in the future. As the saying goes, to start a family and start a career, it can be seen that men still have to become a family first and have someone to take care of them before they can be more focused on learning, right?

Seeing that Mrs. Xu heard that she had come to kiss Xu Laoshi, her face suddenly appeared happy. Mrs. Mrs. Cheng naturally began to praise more: "Your fourth brother is a talented and a scholar. Although this honor failed to pass the exam, it is always compared with those It's much better to be born in the soil.

Hearing Mrs. Cheng praise her son like this, Mrs. Xu was also happy, and it was difficult to show her pride too clearly. She waved her hand and said modestly, "Sister, you can talk. Our fourth son is good, but it's not as exaggerated as you said!"

Mrs. Cheng said anxiously and exaggeratedly, "I won't talk big. Who doesn't know about us? I thought that several families wanted me to come and kiss your fourth brother, but when I looked at those girls, they were not worthy of your fourth family at all, so I didn't consciously take them in front of you at all. We have to choose the best one, right?

Hearing this, Mrs. Xu was a little uncomfortable. How can you, as a matchmaker, make the final say whether she doesn't deserve it or not? It's up to me, a mother, to decide!

Although she felt a little uncomfortable, Mrs. Xu still had a smile on her face. After all, there have been a lot of bad things in her family recently. Mrs. Cheng can still help Lao Si kiss at this jux. Even if some places are not appropriate, it is still worth being appreciated.

"His aunt, thank you for thinking about us. Whether it succeeds or not, you have to let Lao Si go and give birth to thank you." Mrs. Xu approached and asked, "I don't know which girl you helped this time?"

"It's not that I boast. How many miles and villages have I said? Who doesn't know that I have the most candidates here, and I'm also very strict. The girl who can get into my eyes must be excellent. Mrs. Cheng boasted repeatedly and stretched out three fingers, "And let me tell you, I never fight unprepared battles. There are three suitable girls, which you can choose at will!"

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth and urged repeatedly, "His aunt, don't hang my appetite. Hurry up and say it."

"But I can put the words first. I also think your fourth is good, so I'm helping you. Don't talk to others, otherwise everyone will ask me for several people to choose in the future, so I have no way to live." Mrs. Cheng lowered her voice and told her that this is her usual trick. With this kind of trick that I am so kind to you, you must not tell others, which will suddenly get closer to the relationship with the other party.

Sure enough, Mrs. Xu's attitude was warmer and closer. She nodded repeatedly and said, "I know this. I will definitely not cause you any trouble."

Mother Cheng said with satisfaction, "This is the Li family in Hujia Village. Oh, his girl is 17 this year. I'm not proud of her. She looks like a flower. She is simply a natural pair of talented women with your four. Let me tell others that I can't bear to give up!"

I heard that she was beautiful, and the smile on Mrs. Xu's face deepened slightly, but other conditions were also more important. She asked, "Actually, as long as the appearance is similar, I won't choose. What's the situation in this daughter's family?"

"There are two brothers above, both of whom have married their wives and become a family. This daughter can be said to be one in a million. She can afford all kinds of housework. She is a famous and good girl in Hujia Village. If you don't believe it, you can go to Hujia Village to inquire about it. Who doesn't know the old girl of the Li family? The reputation of virtuous has spread far away.

It is very important for rural people to ask their wives to do work, especially housework. Naturally, the daughter-in-law will have to take care of it in the future, and she can't let her son do it. If all the housework is good, then other work will be done, and it will not be much worse.

Old Mrs. Xu was more satisfied and asked, "What's her temper?"

"That girl's temper is also first-class and gentle. I went to a good opportunity and didn't hear her speak loudly. When I saw people, she was particularly polite and her mouth was very sweet."

After listening to Mrs. Cheng's praise, Mrs. Xu was happy, but did she think that this daughter is really so good? Don't you have any shortcomings? It was a little unbelievable, so I quickly asked, "I heard everything about this girl you mentioned, but why didn't I start kissing until I was 17?"

"As the saying goes, there is no gold and no perfect person. It's good to have anything!" Mrs. Cheng sighed when she heard the words, and then said slowly, "But I can't say what's wrong. It's a small defect at most."

"Defect?"

"Miss Li's leg is a little bad. She got sick when she was a child, and now her right leg is slightly lame." Seeing that Mrs. Xu looked a little unhappy, Mrs. Cheng quickly explained, "It's not very powerful. I usually walk slowly, and many people can't see it, but if you walk faster, it's a little..."

The smile on Mrs. Xu's face immediately collapsed. On the surface, she barely supported it, and the little flame in her heart had already soared. Do you dare to say that my fourth child deserves to be a lame after being praised by you for a long time? On second thought, forget it, there are two girls behind. What they said at the beginning must be the worst, and the latter must be better.

So she tried to pull the corners of her mouth and said with a smile, "I know this in my heart. His aunt, I'll listen to you."

Mrs. Cheng curled her lips and said that your family was like this. What else should she choose? However, his face is not exposed at all. If you do a job, you have to bring a good job, which is not a small thing.

"Well, you have such an old son around now, and you should choose carefully." Mrs. Cheng waved her hand with a smiling face and said, "This second girl is the girl of Dongtou Tunzi Wang Mazi's family. Let's not talk about the girl's appearance and temperament. In the future, she will take care of you to eat and drink spicy food. If you don't exaggerate, she is alone and can support a large family!"

As soon as Mrs. Xu heard this, she suddenly became energetic and hurriedly urged, "Her aunt, just say it in one breath. You have to ask you before I say it."

"Okay, I'll say it." Mrs. Cheng smiled and said, "This girl's embroidery work is amazing to everyone. The embroidered flowers and birds are really fresher than that. Those rich families in the city are scrambling to buy them. Two years ago, the county magist's family held a wedding and specially asked her to make a full set of embroidery products. To tell you the truth, this set of things, people All the dowries have been saved!"

"Oh, my dear, is it really so amazing?" Mrs. Xu calculated that if she married home, wouldn't it be equivalent to marrying a cash cow?

However, with the lessons learned from the past, Mrs. Xu was still happy and kept an eye on it. She said to Mrs. Cheng half-jokingly, "Sister, don't pick all the good things. Everyone has shortcomings. Does this girl have any shortcomings?"

The smile on Mrs. Cheng's face froze for a moment, but she immediately adjusted and still smiled very sincerely and said, "This daughter is healthy, good at craft, and knows how to be filial to her parents. When she comes to her mother-in-law's house, she will naturally be filial to her parents-in-law. Where can I find such a girl? If this daughter hadn't had a higher vision and was unwilling to marry a mud-legged farmer and wanted to find a good descendant who was illiterate and sensible, how could it be your fourth? Many people would have rushed to propose marriage.

Although Mrs. Cheng said something like that, Mrs. Xu was still not reassured and hesitated to say, "In this case, let's take a look at it sometime. Let's meet her daughter and let people also see my fourth. Don't let us shave our heads and pick up on the head. Isn't it be funny?"

As soon as she heard that she wanted to see each other, Mrs. Cheng's face became a little embarrassed and said hesitantly, "It's not impossible to look at each other, but this daughter is not as good-looking as Hu's daughter..."

Old Mrs. Xu was stunned when she heard the words, and the next moment she couldn't pick up her cold smile, because she immediately thought that when Mrs. Cheng was introduced just now, she said that Wang Mazi's family... It can be imagined that there are many poutons on her face that can be called by such a name. It's okay for a big man to be ugly. As long as you can support your family, how disgusting would it be if your daughter's family with a numb face that day?

And Lao Si is at least a scholar. Although he has not been admitted to fame now, no one can guarantee whether he will suddenly enlighten him in the future. He also said that some of them have won 70 or 80s! In the future, if you go to study as an official and be a daughter-in-law with a numb face, it will really become the laughing stock of others.

No! Absolutely not!

Old Mrs. Xu didn't listen to Mrs. Cheng's description again and asked directly, "You just said three. Isn't there another one at the end?"

When Mrs. Cheng saw that she couldn't say the first two, she had lost so much saliva, and she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. She picked up the tea bowl and took a few sips, and then said, "The best ones are left at the end. This one is really not picky. This daughter can be said to be a pair of scissors on the upper kang and a shovel on the lower kang. Life is not good. It's beautiful, but it's also beautiful and lovely. She is the eldest at home, and there are younger brothers and sisters below. She has known how to help folding mother and take care of her younger siblings since she was a child. She is the most sensible child..."

"Which one are you talking about?" Mrs. Xu always felt a little familiar and couldn't help asking.

"It's the daughter of Huang Dahai in Huangjia Village. She is 16 years old this year, and she is not very old, just like your fourth..."

"It's quite fart!" Before Mrs. Cheng finished her words, Mrs. Xu stood up, patted the table hard and said angrily, "Do you think I don't know? Huang Da's family is so poor that his daughter-in-law died of illness at a young age. His parents and mothers are also sick and medicine jars, with a string of small children underneath. If they marry into the house, they don't know if they can get the dowry. In the future, they will have to let my fourth family help her support that family?

Mrs. Cheng was shocked. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu turned her face when she said it, and the little flame in her heart also rushed up. After talking for such a long time, she was still dissatisfied, and now she is still staring at the table with herself.

"Sister, what are you talking about? The married daughter spilled water, and it's her love to help her mother's family in the future, and it's her job not to help her. Your fourth brother doesn't plug in the door. Do you care whether her mother's family is poor or not? Mrs. Cheng's tone was also a little bad, but she still tried her best to suppress it. After all, she told people that the matchmaker relied on good people, and she still tried her best to make money.

Of course, Mrs. Xu is not satisfied. She also hopes that Lao Si can marry a rich daughter-in-law and dowry more things to make Lao Si less tired.

Of course, these words can't be said directly, so she was angry and didn't know where to go. After listening to Mrs. Cheng's words, she retorted, "My fourth is a scholar, and he is the most kind-hearted. How can my father-in-law not care about it? I can't push my son into the fire."

Mrs. Cheng was almost pissed off. She jumped off the kang, patted the table hard, and said angrily, "What a scholar? It's embarrassing to say that you are a scholar if you can't even pass the exam, but you know a few more words than others. Are you really a treasure of your fourth? You think you are lame and can make money. You hate that your family is poor. Do you think your son is a god? You want to let him choose all the good girls in the world, but you have to be able to take a fancy to him!"

Before waiting for Mrs. Xu to return her words, Mrs. Cheng said quickly, "If you want to find a rich family and good-looking, then I will also show you a clear way to give you four sons, one more than four, and one less than him. I will introduce you to a few good people and let Lao Si get in and keep them safe. He dressed in silk and satin, ate delicacies and seas, and enjoyed endless glory and wealth..."

How can Mrs. Xu say the process? Every time she opened her mouth, she was preempted by others before she could say her words. She blocked her chest in one breath. She was uncomfortable. She opened her mouth and couldn't speak. Finally, she simply picked up the tea bowl on the table and threw it at Mrs. Cheng.

"Oh!" Before Mrs. Cheng finished her words, she was splashed with herbal tea, and the powder on her face was washed away by water. Most of it flowed into her mouth along the wrinkles on her face, and a strange smell permeated her mouth.

"Do you think your fourth brother is still delicious? Who else doesn't know about what your second brother did? Either gambling or looking for a woman, and every time someone comes to you, how much money can you add to it? Mrs. Cheng was completely annoyed. She was not as tall as Mrs. Xu. She simply stood on the stool and pointed to her nose and spit. "Others are afraid of your family now. Only I still miss the face of my previous friendship and want to tell your fourth daughter-in-law, which is also a good thing. Who knows that you are not appreciate it! Why don't you settle it now? I'm afraid you can't even find this in the future..."

Old Mrs. Xu threw away her tea bowl, picked up her broom, and hit Mrs. Cheng: "If you think it's good, keep it for your son. Don't fool around here. Get out of here. Get out of here!"

"You, how do you hit people!" Mrs. Cheng's calf was beaten several times, and she grinned in pain. Knowing that Mrs. Xu had been cruel, she didn't have time to fight anymore. She rolled down from the stool and ran out of the Xu family.
