The Lan family naturally knew what her daughter-in-law meant.
So the first family I visited was the neighbor of Aunt Yun's family in the next village.
This time, Lan paid great attention to Ming Yu's marriage. Lan had not been fond of going out for many years, but this time she dressed up carefully and took Mother Qiao to visit that family.
Mother Qiao's sister Yunni and her elder sister met often, but they didn't meet Lan very often after they got married.
This time I saw that the Lan family came to the door in person, so I was naturally entertained.
He also asked the youngest daughter of the family to invite Wei Xiucai's mother to speak, saying that it was just a chat between relatives.
Unexpectedly, when Wei's mother came, there was also a woman and a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old who came with her. She was said to be Wei's mother's sister-in-law and niece.
Lan's heart immediately became enlightened.
Sure enough, Wei's mother-in-law's sister-in-law talked about how she had helped the Wei family over the years, how the whole family tightened their belts to support Wei Xiucai's studies, and how the two families eagerly hoped for each other.
Only a scholar can change the family.
The little girl who came next to her was listening to her mother talk about her cousin, a scholar, while twisting her handkerchief and showing sweet shyness.
Is there anything else Lan doesn’t understand?
She didn't even eat, and she took Mother Qiao and came back regardless of Aunt Yun's pleas to stay.
When I got home, I was still upset and glared at Mother Qiao several times.
Two days later, I learned about the situation of the Xie family that I had asked the Yun family to go to a nearby village to learn about, and I was even more upset.
The parents of the Xie family had already heard about the third girl of the Qiao family, not to mention that both her father and brother were scholars. The girl was good-looking, good at needlework, and was good at running the household, so they had long wanted to send someone to come to talk to her.
Therefore, when the eldest aunt and the younger aunt of the Yun family came to visit, they just wanted to hold their hands and settle the marriage immediately.
The two of them were very happy, thinking that it was done, but when they got home, they were poured cold water on them.
In addition to the two aunts from the Yun family visiting the Xie family, Lan also asked the two uncles from the Yun family to go to Songshan Market to inquire about the character of the boy from the Xie family.
When they arrived at the market, they found out that the boy named Xie was very capable. He not only managed the small shop in a prosperous manner, but he was also kind-hearted, his business prices were fair, and he was an honest man. They were very happy.
Unexpectedly, I saw the young man from the Xie family and a beautiful woman walking in and out of the shop together. After asking about it, I found out that it was a personal maid bought by the young man from the Xie family, and that the young man from the Xie family often brought him in and out.
.Behave in an intimate manner.
Some people who went to his shop always mistakenly thought they were a couple.
When Uncle Yun came back, he only said this to Lan, who was so angry that he couldn't stop panting.
With dozens of acres of land, a small storefront can follow the example of rich people in ordering slaves and calling maids? It also knows how to use personal maids! I really don’t know what it means.
Not to mention the Lan family, even Father Qiao and Mother Qiao looked down upon such a family.
Naturally, this family named Xie is a bad person.
The final candidate for the family was the youngest son of Mr. Zhang from Yunmu Private School.
Originally, Mr. Zhang was very interested in marrying him, so he invited the Qiao family to a teahouse in Jishang for a chat.
Mr. Zhang arrived early that day and waited at the door of the tea shop early in the morning.
Father Qiao and Mr. Zhang are both talented people, so they naturally had a lot to talk about when they met. After a while, the two of them became very enthusiastic about brother Qiao and brother Zhang Xian.
Mrs. Lan Chuchu saw Mr. Zhang coming alone. However, several people came from her home, including her granddaughter. This sincerity was immediately evident, and she felt a little unhappy in her heart.
But seeing that Mr. Zhang was chatting happily with his son, he also felt that that family might like Mingyu and thought that the marriage could be successful, so he brought Mingyu, who was so embarrassed that he couldn't lift his head, to
Sitting aside and drinking tea.
After drinking two cups of tea, the Zhang family lady came belatedly.
Wearing clothes made of Hangzhou silk, she wore several gold hairpins on her head. She also had two pairs of heavy gold bracelets on her hands. The lady surnamed Zhang was dressed like a rich lady, which made the plain-faced Mother Qiao look like a lady in front of her.
The rough lady of her family.
As soon as Mrs. Zhang entered the door, she looked Mingyu up and down, examined her, and even glanced at Mrs. Lan and Mrs. Qiao wantonly.
Lan was unhappy, but he just kept his expression and sat still.
When Mrs. Zhang saw Mrs. Qiao and Mingyu standing up to greet them, she felt unhappy when she saw Mr. Lan only raised half of her body.
He asked: "Which lady is this from?" Seeing that Lan didn't even get up to greet her, she secretly thought that she was from a country family who didn't understand any rules.
Mr. Zhang looked embarrassed. He was an elder. It would be fine if his wife didn’t salute him. Why should he wait for the elder to salute her?
He pulled Zhang's hand and said to Lan: "Old lady, this is Zhuo Jing. I have something to do at home today, so I'm late."
Then he winked at his wife: "This is Miss Qiao's grandmother. She arrived at the market early in the morning."
After hearing this, Mrs. Lan only glanced at Mrs. Zhang lightly. Seeing that she was still motionless, she secretly smiled, "Are you waiting for me to get up and give you a gift?"
When Mrs. Zhang saw an old country woman from the Lan family, she heard her husband-in-law introduce her and tasted tea in front of her, and she felt even more contempt in her heart. She was indeed a country woman with little knowledge of etiquette.
Two people who are unhappy in their hearts will naturally not be able to talk to each other.
On the other hand, Mother Qiao finally selected three families from the matchmaker, and now she went to two more, leaving only the last family. She was anxious, fearing that her daughter's marriage would be difficult, so she racked her brains and tried every means to get Mrs. Zhang to talk.
It's just that Mrs. Zhang originally didn't like the marriage chosen by her man, so it would be good if she could get two or three out of ten sentences in agreement.
She, Mrs. Zhang, had such a son, and he was promising since he was a child. He was selected as a scholar at a young age, and now he is studying in an academy in Qingchuan City. Even his husband praised him, saying that he was a scholar.
It's a no brainer.
Her son will have a bright future in the future. Aren’t those ladies from wealthy families lining up waiting for her to choose him?
Why are you so anxious to choose such a poor farmer's family? What will it do to your son?
Originally, she didn't want to come today, but after her men left, after thinking about it, she dressed up and put on all the jewelry in the makeup box, so that they could see the difference between the clouds and the mud, and her own feelings.
Retreating will also save you from having those muddy legs that don't know the heights of the sky and the earth are stuck to you.
Zhang's words were arrogant, and in the end even Mother Qiao, who was belatedly aware of it, heard it.
What's more, it's Lan's?
When Mrs. Zhang opened the door and came in, she saw that Mrs. Zhang's eyes were on the top of her head.
Mrs. Zhang then asked Mother Qiao: "How many acres of land does your Qiao family have? I wonder how much we can harvest in a year?"
Mother Qiao told her family's situation.
Mrs. Zhang then said: "Excluding the taxes and money paid on these acres of land, I'm afraid it's just enough to feed your family, right? Even if your eldest son becomes a teacher for someone else, don't you need to save some money for him to prepare for the exam? You are
I don’t know how much money it costs to prepare for an exam, and even if I pass the exam, I still have to take care of it. Our family is like this, and he strives for his own success. Naturally, his father and I have to support him even if we want to sell the pot.
Fortunately, my mother's family's life is pretty good, and they often help me out. Otherwise, life would have been really sad. By the way, how is Miss Qiao's grandfather's family living a good life?"
Mingyu lowered his head and listened to his mother tell Zhang about the situation of his maternal grandfather's family again.
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang added: "Hey, I'm the only one here. Life is tight, so I came here. There are several others in your family. How can we get married without spending money? Yes.
At that time, the betrothal money and dowry of one’s own children were all for one’s own sake.”
Lan glanced at her and saw her touching the gold hairpin on her head and the gold bracelet on her hand. She smiled secretly. Does this mean that our family can't afford the dowry?
Mother Qiao secretly glanced at her mother-in-law, and was thinking about what to say when she heard Mrs. Zhang say: "I heard that your eldest daughter has moved out of her husband's house with her children? Hey, this woman, after marrying
There is no one in my husband's family who is not angry. You can't get angry and die if you are stingy, right? Fortunately, I don't have a daughter, otherwise I would have made her watch "Girls' Ring" and "Girls' Rules" since she was a child. Where is my daughter's house?
How can you not know some rules?"
After saying that, he looked up and down at Mingyu again.
I was even more displeased with her sitting there with her head lowered all the time. As expected, she was a banker who couldn't stand on the stage.
After hearing what Zhang said, Mrs. Lan smiled.
This remark directly rises to the question of the Qiao family's education of their daughter.
Mother Qiao was a little worried and didn't know how to reply, when she heard Lan said: "Fortunately, Madam, I don't have a daughter, otherwise the daughter will have eyes on the top of her head, and it will be extremely difficult for her to get married in the future. Although my family is poor,
But I really don’t want to curry favor with anyone. Mrs. Zhang will have to wait for her son to earn a living in the future. My family is farming in the countryside, and I don’t want to hold back Brother Zhang. This marriage requires a well-matched family. It seems that it is
We can't see clearly."
After hearing what Lan said, Mr. Zhang glared at his wife. Just as he was about to apologize and say some soft words for his wife, he saw that Qiao's grandmother had already taken her granddaughter and stood up to leave.
He hurriedly got up to stop him, but Father Qiao had already felt unhappy after hearing what Zhang said, and he also got up and left...
As a result, the final candidate is also obsolete.
Qiao Mingjin was angry and funny after hearing the news brought back by Yun Jin.
The rich ones don't learn well, and the talented ones are pretentious.
Presumably, my grandmother and parents will be even more worried about Mingyu's marriage, right?
Qiao Mingjin was also very concerned about Mingyu's marriage. She didn't go out and didn't know many people, so she took Sister Xiu, Su and Lu's mother-in-law and told them about her sister, asking them to help keep an eye on her.
There is a suitable candidate.
Sister Xiu, Mrs. Lu and others are naturally happy to do it, and they are very attentive to it. There is nothing to do in the winter, so they can pull strings and make a good story. What's wrong with it?
Naturally, he carefully searched the people around him and reported them to Qiao Mingjin one by one. Qiao Mingjin reported to Lan Shi and Qiao's father and Qiao's mother one by one.
As for Qiao's father and Qiao's mother, after two days of rest, they started looking for another matchmaker.
I have been choosing for more than half a month, but there is still no satisfactory candidate. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
ps: I'm trying to code one more chapter. After 12 o'clock, everyone will read it again tomorrow morning. There are too many things in the past two days and the update is unstable. I'm sorry, everyone. I will try to make the update more stable in the future.
