Three and a half women in four courtyards

Chapter 15

When Hou Zhang heard this, he was also stunned for a moment, and cursed: "Oh?! Diaogui, Diaogui, you animal, the poison of a tiger does not eat its offspring, you are a thunderbolt! Boom!"

After a pause, Diao Yingzi went on to say: "Ah, after that night, besides crying, I tried my best to think of the best. I thought, maybe my father drank too much that day, fell asleep, and regarded me as the entanglement of Sai Diao. Yes! But two days later, my dad held me down again and said, "Oh, it's winter, the nights are long, and idleness is idleness." After finishing speaking, he harmed me again. He said, "You have to marry sooner or later. People. Instead of taking advantage of others, it is better to honor your father early!'”

"Oh? How can this be called a personal talk! Animals, animals!" Hou Zhang gritted his teeth and scolded angrily.

"Ah, these days, I don't dare to take off my clothes and sleep, I wear clothes to sleep all day. Then I thought, sooner or later I have to get married. Today I am looking for an aunt, just to help me find someone!" After finishing speaking, Diao Yingzi still couldn't help crying.

"Oh?! Ah, this child, you are only thirteen, and you are still a child." Hou Zhang looked at Diao Yingzi's face and said, "Ah, besides, what Lao Lier said is good, it is better to marry It's up to parents to decide!"

"Oh, auntie, when my father did that, he promised me that he could marry someone. I will find a matchmaker myself. Thirteen is a small point, but I can cook and cook. I don't pick anyone, and I don't pick anyone. , as long as you are nice to me.” Diao Yingzi said anxiously, “Oh, I’m afraid, I’m afraid—it’s going to be a long time, once, once you have a child, what should you do?!” Tears rolled around her eyes after she finished speaking Son.

After hearing Diao Yingzi's words, Hou Zhang's eyes lit up: "Oh, that, that—to our house—Shun Liu Monkey—"

As soon as she said the word "Shun Liu Monkey", Diao Yingzi immediately answered, "Oh, but, my father said that the bride price must be given to three acres of land before he agrees to marry me."

When Hou Zhang heard this, she was a little disappointed, and said, "Oh? Three acres of land? Oh—there are only a few acres of land in our house, and it is the life of the whole family. How will our family live after the gift is given? Ah, alas! In this Daxigou River, anyone who can afford three acres of land to marry a daughter-in-law will just—"

"Ang, you can be older or older." Before Hou Zhang could finish speaking, Diao Yingzi continued.

Hou Zhang understood as soon as she heard it that Diao Yingzi wanted to marry the fourth emperor.

I thought, this is also a good thing.He said: "Oh, uh—then I'll take some time to ask Mr. Cong if he has any intentions of remarrying (remarrying)!"

When Diao Yingzi heard this, he burst into tears and laughed: "Oh, that, that, then thank you, auntie!"

There was a lot of noise outside, and it seemed that someone was fighting.

"Ang! Just you? Stuttering. Even the dumb widow didn't take a fancy to you. She is a big yellow girl who can take a fancy to you. Take a break, you!" It was the voice of Shunliuhou.

"Oh! Ye, ye, ye-yeah! That, that, that--little widow, widow, widow, widow—widow—" It was a stammering voice.

"Quack quack! Quack quack what are you! You quack quack, duck!" Shun Liuhou bullied him and stammered.

"Oh? Humph! Widow, widow, widow, lost, lost, unemployed, who, who, who - rare! Also, still, still - there is a - one, with, with , bring—a calf!"

The two entered the room arguing, and when they saw Diao Yingzi, they were dumbfounded!

Seeing the two of them coming in, Hou Zhang asked, "Ang, what's the matter? What are you arguing about, are you arguing?"

It turned out that the two of them pushed Pai Gow (playing Pai Gow) together at Xiaoliujiu's house today, and Shun Liuhou lost three copper coins. He had no money at hand, so he wanted to owe it for a few days.

Stuttering and saying nothing.The two started arguing.

"Oh, I'm about to start a family too. In a few days, the little widow's legs and feet will be healed, and we will consummate the house! What are you missing?" Although Shun Liuhou owed money, his mouth was still unforgiving. Do not open which pot to mention.

"Oh, no, no, no—it's just—a, widow, widow, widow! Yes, yes, yes—what—er, er, errr!" Stuttered three times Listen, you won't be angry in one place.

These words reminded him of the scene where he and his brother-in-law Xie Yaohao went to propose marriage two days ago, "Oh, I, I, I—I want to marry, marry, marry—a daughter-in-law!"

"Om? Who are you marrying? Tell me! Haha, you won't be marrying that old sow of yours?"

Stuttering three times, his face flushed from holding back.

When everyone smiled, their faces became even redder.

He thought, who should he marry?Diao Yingzi, Diao Gui's daughter, is the eldest girl who can talk about marriage in the entire Xiadiyingzi.

Stuttering three times in a hurry, he casually said: "Ang, I, I, I—I want, marry, marry, marry, marry—Diao, Diao, Diao—Yingzi!"

As soon as he said this, everyone in the room was stunned.

This kind of joke can't be played casually.

In that era, most girls who were not out of the cabinet were the most taboo about others making irresponsible remarks.

If anyone casually makes fun of other girls and ruins their reputation, the girl's family will look for you desperately.

Seeing everyone staring at him in a daze, San stammered, instead he got excited: "Oh, I, I, I—brother-in-law, say, say, say——, pass, pass, pass—a few days, just, Just, just—find, find—open your mouth, say, say, say—go to the matchmaker!”

"Ang, what are you going to do in a few days, let's go now! My sister-in-law happens to be fine at home!"

"Oh, now, now, now - going, just, just, just - now - going!"

In fact, these three stammers are not stupid. In this way, it is a marriage proposal, and the girl's family has nothing to say.A family of women begging from hundreds of families, no one can complain about the door-to-door marriage proposal.

In this way, the two came to Hou Mingli's house arguing.

Those who play money and push Pai Gow are also watching the excitement and don't think it's a big deal, so they all follow, laughing and joking behind.

As soon as Sanjieba saw Diao Yingzi, the momentum just now disappeared immediately, like a kicked urine bubble - deflated.

Shunliuhou felt happy when he saw San stuttered.

The group of money-playing masters who followed, saw this scene, and booed together: "Oh, tell me, please ask a matchmaker? Marry a daughter-in-law?"

Seeing everyone making a fuss, Shunliuhou also wanted Sanjieba to make a fool of himself in public, so he said to Mrs. Hou Zhang: "Ang, sister-in-law, Sanjieba is asking you to be a matchmaker. It's just today, and the pig's head didn't have time to bring it."

"Ang, oh, you want me to be a matchmaker?" Mrs. Hou Zhang was at a loss, and she still took it seriously, "Uh, which girl is that?"

Shunliuhou pouted and pointed at Diao Yingzi beside him.

When Hou Zhang heard this, her face immediately sank: "Ang, don't bullshit! How can someone from a big girl's family make such nonsense? Isn't this the reputation of a bad family?"

When Diao Yingzi saw that he was coming for him, he turned and ran into the back room and hid.

"Ang, look, look, stuttering, this is not a joke!" Looking at Diao Yingzi's back, Hou Zhang stammered.

Three stuttering blushes, blushing, stammering: "Oh, I, I, I - said, yes, yes, yes - true! Marry, marry, marry - Diao, Diao, Diao - Yingzi! Please, please, please - you, you are old, do, do, do - be a matchmaker!"

Mrs. Hou and Zhang were a little anxious. If they stammered and made a noise, it would be easy to make things worse.

She adapts to the situation and thinks of a plan to delay the attack, saying: "Ang, since ancient times, you have to obey the orders of your parents when you get married, so you have to ask your family members, don't you? When I turn around, I will ask, ask. You Let's go back first! It's gone, it's gone!"

Just as everyone was about to leave, Diao Yingzi suddenly lifted the curtain and said, "Oh, I, I, I agree to marry!"
