"Sister Miao, come here and take a look at these fine cloths. There are also some with patterns. These patterns are really good and very lucky." Aunt Wu looked at the fine cloths in rows.
"This looks good. Let's make our third sister a half-length blouse with no collar. It will look so good!" Matchmaker Miao patted a piece of fringed muslin and laughed with Aunt Wu.
"Third Sister's dowry must be prepared quickly, but the color is too plain." Aunt Wu dug hard with her nails a few times, "This one is quite fine, but the one just now is not good."
"Amei Yin, does your fine cloth have any other colors?" Matchmaker Miao looked at Sister-in-law Yin and asked.
Sister-in-law Yin was looking at the edge of the cloth that Aunt Wu had picked with distress. When she heard the question, she laughed twice and said, "It's true, we only deal in white fine cloth. Dying it is expensive. What we are doing
A small business."
"Then can you dye a few for me?" Aunt Wu immediately asked with a smile.
"The work of dyeing cloth is too particular, and Aunt Wu is a very particular person. We don't have anyone who knows the skill here, so we don't dare to do it randomly." Sister-in-law Yin said with a smile.
"Isn't it just to add money? Don't worry, Sister-in-law Yin, I will give you as much copper as you want." Aunt Wu was obviously a little unhappy.
"When doing business, there is no reason to push business outside." Matchmaker Miao continued.
"We are a small business. We can't sell a few pieces of cloth in a day. How can we dare to push it outside if we have business? I really don't understand.
"Mommy also knows that we were originally in the preserved egg business. We just sold cloth. If we want to dye cloth, how can we understand it?" Sister-in-law Yin's smile did not change.
Matchmaker Miao looked at Aunt Wu, whose face dropped.
"The third sister's marriage has been decided?" Sister-in-law Yin immediately changed the topic.
"Hmm." Aunt Wu hummed in an irrational manner.
"Oh, that's such a happy event. Whose brother is this? I really can't think of any brother who can be worthy of our third sister!"
Sister-in-law Yin clapped her hands together and let out an ooh of surprise.
"If this person from this family can catch the eye of grandma and aunt, he must be the right one. Which family is he from?"
"That's the man from the Yu family who used to live in our area." Matchmaker Miao couldn't hold back her joy.
"Ouch! It turned out to be the eldest son of the Yu family! I couldn't find him even with a lantern. His family moved away, so I said, there is no one in our neighborhood who is worthy of our third sister!
"How picky is the eldest son of the Yu family? He has been picking and choosing for more than ten years, right? I'm sorry, you have been picking this and that all these years just to wait for our third sister to grow up, right?" p>
Sister-in-law Yin kept talking, laughing, and slapping her hands, making the whole room happy.
"No matter how he chooses, how can he find fault with our third sister? Let me tell you, this marriage of the Yu family, nothing else, I just look at the flowers and plants in their yard, and the three of us
My sister has a demure temperament and only likes flowers and plants, but nothing else is like that!"
Matchmaker Miao couldn't hold back her joy, but Sister-in-law Yin slapped her everywhere.
Aunt Wu also raised her head and smiled reservedly.
"Yu Dalang is so good-looking. Standing with our third sister, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! How good-looking he is! The golden boy and beautiful girl!" Sister-in-law Yin then clapped her hands and praised.
"I just think they look good and match each other when they stand together!" Matchmaker Miao beamed.
"Yu Dalang is so capable. When it comes to doing business, there is no one in Pingjiang Mansion who is better than him!"
Sister-in-law Yin kept clapping her hands and ouching, her words of praise were like the Yangtze River water, which made Matchmaker Miao and Aunt Wu giggle non-stop.
Li Xiaonan followed Sister-in-law Yin's clapping, raised her feet and lowered them, then lowered them and raised them.
Sister-in-law Yin’s praise has a clear rhythm, which is much better than singing!
Amidst the praise, Sister-in-law Yin sent Matchmaker Miao and Aunt Wu out of the shop, walked five or six more steps, stood and waved for a while, turned around and entered the shop, and first spat, "Bah!"
"Sister-in-law is so awesome!" Li Jinzhu admired sincerely.
"A pair of villains, they are very bad. If you see these two scoundrels, you must take a detour! Bah!" Sister-in-law Yin spat again.
"Mother Miao came to my house a while ago and asked to marry Yuzhu. I didn't dare to agree because I thought she was unreasonable." Li Jinzhu lowered his voice and said.
"How can she be so kind!" Sister-in-law Yin raised her eyebrows, "If you tell me carefully, she definitely doesn't have such good intentions!"
Li Jinzhu said, and Li Xiaonan added, detailing how the Miao matchmaker came to the door.
After hearing this, Sister-in-law Yin clapped her hands together, "She didn't come to our door to propose marriage. Someone must have taken a fancy to our jade beads. I don't know what went wrong with her. She came to our door to cause trouble."
! She does this kind of thing all the time!"
"Maybe it's the Yu family." Li Xiaonan stretched out her head and said, "The two of them seem to have come here specifically to talk about the fact that their third sister's son is destined to be Yu Dalang."
"No! I'm very proud. If it's really the Yu family, it would be a pity." Sister-in-law Yin frowned.
"It's not a pity." Li Jinzhu looked indifferent, "My sister-in-law said that everyone in the neighborhood knows who the Miao matchmaker is. If the Yu family doesn't know, then they are too blind to recognize people. If they know and still trust her, they are stupid.
No matter what, you are not considered a sensible person, and such a family cannot be considered a good family."
"That's well said!" Sister-in-law Yin slapped her face several times, "Well, the Yu family's shop is diagonally opposite our main building. If you really want to get married, you just have to walk across the street. I can't ask you directly.
, then you should tell me, there is no need to rely on this or that!
"Your eldest sister is a sensible person!"
Sister-in-law Yin patted Li Xiaonan and said with a smile.
"Of course, the eldest sister is understanding, transparent, polite, generous and..."
Before Li Xiaonan finished taking pictures of her long string of rainbow farts, Li Jinzhu stretched his head and looked out the door, "What do you want to eat again?"
Sister-in-law Yin burst out laughing.
………………………………
Linhai Town.
At the door of the He family headquarters next to the Customs and Excise Department, He Ruiming jumped off his horse and strode straight to his father He Chengze's cabin.
"What's wrong?" He Chengze took off his glasses and frowned at his sweaty son.
"There's another fight on the pier. This is the third fight today." As He Ruiming spoke, he reached for the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp.
He Chengze frowned.
"Have you checked how many foreigners came to the pier?" He Chengze asked after watching his son drink two cups of tea.
"There are still two docks that have not been reported. Now that they have been reported, it is certain that there are nearly 500 people!" He Ruiming frowned.
He Chengze breathed a sigh of relief. There were only a few hundred people, nothing compared to the tens of thousands of porters in Linhai Town.
But where do these hundreds of people get the courage to constantly pick fights?
"Dad, I said these people came in groups, all from the Lian family." He Ruiming lowered his voice.
He Chengze frowned again, and He Ruiming looked at his father's frown and frowned even tighter.
Dad has been very worried for a while. He also feels as if something big is about to happen, and he even feels like a disaster is imminent.
After a long silence, He Chengze asked in a low voice: "That Huang Xianzhou, how are you doing lately?"
"After coming back from the first day, he would arrive at the pier before dawn every day and go back after it was completely dark. He would live in the public housing closest to the pier he saw.
"He and his master were on one side of the pier and the other on that side of the pier. They kept remembering that they always ate with the porters when they ate." He Ruiming's voice was very low.
He Chengze listened attentively. He closed his eyes slightly and slowly circled his thumbs. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Look at these two things from a distance. There is no need to get close for now."
