Chapter 61, The Nine Heavens Fairy Descends to the Mortal World
Zhou Baiwen interrupted her with a deep "Hmm..." and said, "Are you sweeping the floor in winter, or counting charcoal fires in winter?"
Matchmaker Zhang looked at him obediently.
"I asked clearly, Yu Cun only had two sons, how could he give birth to a hundred girls?" Zhou Baiwen scolded.
Matchmaker Zhang took a deep breath, clapped her hands together, and when Zhou Baiwen's eyes were dizzy with the dazzling flower handkerchief, she screamed happily: "The person you are asking about is his home."
Zhou Baiwen rubbed his eyes and said patiently: "Yes, come and let me listen."
"Okay, the nine-day fairy descended to the mortal world, Chang'e did not become a fairy in the moon, Nuwa stepped down from the throne in the temple, and the Queen Mother gave up the Jade Pool in the West. This is how beautiful it is."
Looking at the rosy face dancing and gesticulating in front of him, Zhou Baiwen slammed the table: "Is it easy for you to fool me when you are my official?"
"Don't get angry, my lord. The peasant woman has something in her heart, but she can't say it out loud. The peasant woman is also anxious, wait a minute! Sir, the peasant woman has something to say."
Matchmaker Zhang started to dance with her hands again, and she saw a colorful ball that almost filled the room. Zhou Baiwen tried his best to see that there was a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered...a pair of wild mandarin ducks, and his eyes started to dizzy again.
Fortunately, not a word escaped my ears.
"It turned out to be that delicate body, straight waist, white and noisy face, trembling footsteps... What I like in my life is nature. I can sting bees and butterflies through the curtain.
Son, it’s all in vain..."
Zhou Bai Wenqi suffered severe pain in the bridge of his nose, forcing him to suppress his temper. He had not yet married a wife, hoping that he would be promoted to an official position when the new emperor ascended the throne, so that he could arrange a sweet marriage.
Sweeping the Zhang family's tea bowl to the ground, Matchmaker Zhang stopped in fright at the loud noise, and returned to a submissive stance to look at him.
"Ms. Zhang! You are singing for me, okay. When I come to see you again, I will set up a stage for you and make sure you sing to your heart's content."
Zhou Baiwen finished speaking angrily and rushed outside.
He had to go to the hospital to have his nose checked quickly.
Four people followed him and escorted him out of the door. The old man who was fawning in the corner of the courtyard chased him out: "My lord, my mother-in-law is not sensible. Don't be angry. I heard it all. I know it. The girls in Mrs. Yu's family are born well."
Ah, she is a fairy daughter..."
Zhou Baiwen, who stopped to listen to what he said, had an angry look in his eyes, which frightened the old man of the Zhang family so much that he ran back to the hospital. Zhou Baiwen got on the sedan and hurried to the hospital.
In the main room of the Zhang family, the fawning old man complained to Matchmaker Zhang while collecting the tea bowls: "How long will it take for you to change your true temper? Matchmaker, matchmaker, there is no truth. You are different from others. When you say matchmaking, both parties must be of the same age.
The looks are also similar. Yes, the matchmakers you mentioned are all grateful to you, but you have offended many people."
"Why didn't you tell me how expensive I was? Why didn't you tell me how the yard at home was built?" Matchmaker Zhang glared at him.
"If any matchmaker doesn't make money, you can't offend anyone. Some young man who passed by that year was not born well. If the family has money, they can find a good-looking girl. You just told the truth to the girl's family, and the marriage was ruined.
, the young master said harsh words when he left, saying that I can't spare you. You have offended another official. Fortunately, I went out to smooth things over."
Matchmaker Zhang was dumbfounded and called out to the nagging old man who was going out to wash the teacups: "Young man, your surname is Yu. This city is still the master's territory. You don't dare to talk nonsense and offend all your relatives."
"How could that be possible? What kind of family is the Yu family? This official also has random thoughts. My relatives don't dare to meet Miss Yu casually. How do I know what a good person she is?"
The old man burst into laughter: "Sir, the girl from the Yu family is a fairy daughter."
Matchmaker Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and waved the old man to wash the dishes: "Just understand, when it comes to choosing the emperor in Beijing, isn't the emperor determined by heaven, but these officials come to live in Master Yu's house, and they all say it's not a good idea to come.
Yes, mortals will suffer when gods fight. If this official doesn't handle his own affairs well and gets into the trap of a matchmaker like me, what the hell is he?"
There was the sound of running water in the yard, and the old man washed himself by the well.
Matchmaker Zhang told herself what she said later. She didn't take the old man seriously.
She was a victim of the matchmaker's deceitful words. She was a beautiful young girl. The old man in the yard scraped together twenty taels of silver to give to the matchmaker, and then she got married.
On the second day after getting married, they forced Matchmaker Zhang to work together to earn money and pay off the debt. Matchmaker Zhang shed tears for several years and angrily became a matchmaker. She didn't lie to others. To be honest, her business in Yucheng gradually grew, but she also ended up with herself.
Heartbroken and regretful.
Her status in the family also increased. When the old man saw that she could make money, he served her obediently.
What adults?
Just a passer-by.
Most of the people in Yucheng are relatives, so Matchmaker Zhang is not afraid of Zhou Baiwen.
Not to mention the inner house of Master Yu's family, ordinary people's girls are raised too delicate to come out, so they dare to ask randomly whether the girl is well-born and whether her skin is white?
"What?" Matchmaker Zhang muttered.
Outside the courtyard gate, another person walked in at this time. He was wearing a half-worn blue cloth and came in full of energy.
The old man had just hung up the tea bowls. When he saw some business coming, he stood in the corner and smiled to please him. Matchmaker Zhang thought he couldn't handle it, and he knew it.
...
Two large ingots of silver, fifty taels each, were pushed in front of Matchmaker Zhang. These were the ingots specially exchanged by Lei Fengji. Cash silver was more attractive than banknotes.
Matchmaker Zhang's eyes flashed, and the flower handkerchief in her hand danced casually.
If someone dazzled her eyes with money, she would faint with a handkerchief to see who could stun whom first.
Matchmaker Zhang hates people who dazzle matchmakers with money. The matchmaker she met at the beginning was the one who dazzled the eyes with twenty taels of silver. She said that the old man in the family was like a fairy descending to the earth, and the three broken houses were called beautiful buildings.
Pavilion.
It is natural for a man to marry a woman. Isn't it wrong to come to the door to ask for marriage in a legitimate way?
"Oh, sir, which family do you like?"
Lei Fengji unceremoniously stretched out two fingers, grabbed one corner of the flower handkerchief, and fixed it on the table with his fingers. The flower handkerchief stayed there. He calmly said, "Yu family."
Matchmaker Zhang couldn't pull the veil back with all her strength, so she knew she had met someone difficult to deal with. She was the most famous in the matchmaking industry in Yucheng, and she knew the family background, appearance, elders' temperament, etc. of all the girls in the city.
Her business mainly focuses on door-to-door matchmaking.
When a boy is old enough, he mentally selects a few girls for him to choose from. Then he goes to his door and asks if he wants to get married and what girls he can choose from.
When the elder relented and asked Matchmaker Zhang to talk to her, Matchmaker Zhang went to the home of the chosen girl and prepared several houses for the girl to choose from.
If the girl and the boy happen to be in love, the marriage will usually go smoothly. If two families have not agreed, there are still several families to choose from.
Her reputation comes from here.
The people who come to her house looking for a match are usually outsiders passing by. They encounter a boy or a girl from someone's family and inquire about their family background, temperament of the elders and the amount of the bride price. This is more clear to ask the matchmaker.
