"Hey, Zhang Xiucai, you're being unreasonable. I, the matchmaker, haven't even shown up yet, but you met someone first. This is against the rules." A matchmaker dressed in bright red squinted her cute crescent-moon eyes from the crowd.
Then walked out.
The matchmaker is Matchmaker Liao, who is well-known in this area. Many people know her, including Jiang Mutou.
Matchmaker Liao said goodbye to Jiang Mutou and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, don't worry, my legs and feet are not as flexible as before. I walk slower, but Xiucai Zhang is very anxious, as if he is afraid that our Jiang family girl will run away."
The crowd burst into laughter, and someone joked: "Don't worry, you can't run away. Jiang Mutou watches his daughter very closely." This made the crowd laugh again.
Jiang Mutou glanced at the matchmaker and then at Zhang Xiucai. The neighbors were urging him to open the door. After struggling for a long time, he finally backed down and allowed Zhang Xiucai, Liao Matchmaker and the marriage proposal team to enter the courtyard.
The girl from the Jiang family had already entered the room, and Onion was temporarily aroused by the mistress. At this moment, she was standing against the wall with her head hanging down, her hands clenched and her shoulders shaking. She didn't know whether it was because of grievance or something.
Who doesn’t like to watch the excitement, let alone the neighbors in front of me? It’s even more interesting to watch. All the surrounding residents followed and poured into the yard. The yard was not big at all. Twelve large boxes were standing in most of the space, and other people also
Just stand next to each other.
Qingyu squeezed in through the cracks between people and sat on a large wooden box. She swung her legs leisurely. Someone asked in a low voice whose doll it was, but no one knew. Anyway, it didn't matter, so no one would care.
Matchmaker Liao had a sharp tongue. After entering the hospital, she praised Zhang Xiucai for a while. After that, she praised the Jiang girl for a while, and finally said, "It can be said that a man, a talent, and a woman are a match made in heaven."
Jiang Mutou was still a little hesitant. Zhang Xiucai bent down and bowed, "Master Jiang, the young man was rude earlier. He thought Miss Jiang was a troubled person and lost his sense of proportion in a moment of impatience. Please don't take offense, Master Jiang."
All the mistakes he made are all Xiaosheng's fault. But Xiaosheng is like this, completely out of his love and care for Miss Jiang. Xiaosheng's family has a small income, which can ensure that Miss Jiang will have no worries about food and clothing throughout her life. This year's test, Xiaosheng will be determined
High school examination.
Xiaosheng swears that he will take care of Miss Jiang for the rest of his life, treat her with the same level of respect as a guest, and never let her down for the rest of his life."
His tone was sincere and his expression was sincere. The neighbors who were watching couldn't help but clap their hands and applaud. Someone advised Jiang Mutou, "Jiang Mutou, you have such a good marriage in front of you, why are you hesitating?"
Matchmaker Liao also advised: "Yes, Master Jiang, this kind of marriage is difficult to find even with a lantern.
Zhang Xiucai needs to have good character, good looks, and knowledge. How many girls are eager for me to be a matchmaker, but Zhang Xiucai is completely devoted to your girl. With such a good family, why are you hesitating?
The Jiang family girl has already passed her age, if she continues to endure it, she will become a fairy, and she will not be able to find a good family."
Jiang's wife looked Zhang Xiucai up and down, with a look of satisfaction on her face. She glanced at Congtou, who was standing in the corner unattended, and said to Jiang Mutou: "Don't give up yet."
Jiang Mutou took a deep breath, and then said: "You go back today, I will think about this marriage carefully, and I will give you an answer someday."
Matchmaker Liao just wants to finish the matter and get the money today, so why is she willing to delay it any longer? This Jiang Mutou is a rigid person. In the past, she proposed marriage to Jiang family girls several times, but Jiang Mutou rejected them all. This delay may lead to another
If you want to be disobedient, you have to open your mouth to persuade.
But as soon as the words came to my tongue, I heard a "clang" sound of something breaking coming from the house, which shocked everyone's hearts. Jiang Mutou and Jiang's wife tensed up and hurriedly ran into the house.
Inside the house, the girl from the Jiang family looked at the two elders with a red face, her eyes watery, and there was a smashed cup on the ground.
When Miss Jiang opened her mouth, she said firmly: "Dad, my daughter is willing to marry Zhang Xiucai, and she will never marry anyone but him in this life."
The second elder heard the implication of these words, and Jiang Mutou asked with a stern face: "When did you see him?"
Miss Jiang no longer cared about her shame and said honestly: "Last month I went to the temple to offer incense with my mother-in-law. I was lucky enough to meet him once. My daughter admires his literary talent, and he also admires her. We are in love with each other.
.”
Jiang Mutou was startled, and then his anger rushed to the top of his head, "Fuck..." He raised his hand, but suddenly remembered that there were so many people in the courtyard, so he could only put his hand down with shaking hands, and cursed in a deep voice:
"You bastard, you actually communicated with someone privately and said such shameless words. I have to refuse this kiss today.
This scholar looks like a human being, but he didn't expect that there is such a dirty prostitute behind him. If you marry such a person, you will suffer a lot in the future. I will give you a bunch of aunts and I will see how you cry."
Jiang's wife was originally optimistic about that scholar, but now she has no idea. She could only complain anxiously, "You...why are you so confused?"
Seeing that the marriage was not going to happen, the Jiang family girl became anxious and knelt down with a plop. She was cautious and extremely sad, "Dad, I... I am already pregnant. I can only marry him."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt falling from the blue, beating Jiang Mutou and Jiang's wife until their heads were covered and turned around.
After a long time, Jiang Mutou couldn't believe it and asked: "You...what did you say? How could you...we only met once, how could you..." Before he finished speaking, his eyes blurred, and he was so dizzy that he couldn't stand.
He supported the table, and then he was silent for a while, with a dull look on his face.
Jiang's wife was also stunned with shock. She covered her mouth and shed tears. However, because there were people outside the hospital, she did not dare to cry loudly. She could only bite the handkerchief and sob softly.
Miss Jiang was also so frightened that she trembled all over and knelt on the ground with her head hanging down without saying a word.
Matchmaker Liao couldn't wait any longer and came forward to knock on the door, "Master Jiang, what's wrong? Is Miss Jiang okay?"
Jiang Mutou coughed, lowered his throat, took a few deep breaths to calm down, and then motioned his wife to wipe away her tears with his eyes.
The couple was ready, and then they both went out, with smiles on their faces.
"I accidentally dropped the cup. It's nothing." Jiang's wife, her voice still a little scratchy, explained with a smile, "Look, I'm really worthless. You guys are laughing at me. My daughter hasn't even gotten married yet, so I started crying."
Jiang Mutou glared at Zhang Xiucai bitterly, and said in a very angry tone, "Can you really promise to treat my daughter well for the rest of your life? Never let her down for the rest of your life?"
This was a sign of relief. Zhang Xiucai was a little dazed. Matchmaker Liao smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed and she pushed Zhang Xiucai, "Why don't you come and meet your future father-in-law?"
Zhang Xiucai then came to his senses and was so happy that he hurriedly saluted: "Xiaosheng pays homage to your father-in-law."
The neighbors all clapped their hands and said congratulations to Jiang Mutou and Zhang Xiucai. Matchmaker Liao happily shouted: "Let's beat the gongs and drums."
"Why does such a beautiful sister want to be a concubine?" Qingyu's milky voice suddenly sounded.
Just as the gongs and drums were beating, they stopped because of her sound. Her voice was very penetrating, and everyone else in the courtyard heard it. Everyone looked at her inexplicably, but Zhang Xiucai's face tightened.
Faintly panicked.
When Matchmaker Liao saw that it was a little baby, she giggled and said, "The little girl is wrong. Zhang Xiucai is getting married in a sedan chair, not taking a concubine."
"But he obviously has a wife, so how can he get married?" Qingyu pointed at Zhang Xiucai, with a crooked face and a look of confusion.
What?! The crowd started talking and looked at Zhang Xiucai.
Matchmaker Liao was also startled, and then said: "You are wrong, Zhang Xiucai has not yet married."
"No, he not only has a wife, but also a child." Qingyu smiled and stood on the wooden box, "It's just that his wife and child have been abandoned by him for many years;
In addition, he is addicted to gambling and is in debt. All his family wealth has been wiped out. Every copper coin he uses now is obtained by defrauding other sisters."
