my grandmother

Chapter 130

"Sister Miao, come over and have a look at these fine cloths, there are some with patterns, these patterns are really good, how auspicious." Aunt Wu looked at the fine cloths in a row.

"This is beautiful, make a half-length shirt with no lapel for our third sister, how beautiful it is!" Miao Matchmaker patted a piece of fretwork muslin, and laughed with Aunt Wu.

"Third sister's dowry has to be prepared quickly, but the color is too plain." Aunt Wu dug a few times with her nails, "This one is quite fine, but the one just now is not."

"Auntie Yin, does your fine cloth have any other color?" Miao Matchmaker 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 up distressedly, and when she heard the question, she laughed a few times, "No really, we only do white fine cloth business, and dyeing it will be expensive, we are Small business."

"Then can you dye a few for me?" Aunt Wu immediately asked with a smile.

"Dyeing cloth is a very delicate job, and Aunt Wu is a very particular person. There is no one here who knows how to do it, so I dare not do it carelessly." 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 a lot of copper coins." Aunt Wu was obviously a little unhappy.

"It's a business, and there's no reason to push the business outside." Miao Matchmaker answered.

"We are a small business, and we can't sell a few bolts of cloth a day. How can we dare to push it out if we have business? I really don't understand.

"Mommy also knows that we were originally in the preserved egg business, and we didn't care about selling cloth. If we want to dye cloth, how can we understand that?" Sister Yin's smile remained unchanged.

Matchmaker Miao looked at Aunt Wu, and Aunt Wu's face dropped.

"Third sister's marriage is settled?" Sister Yin immediately changed the subject.

"En." Aunt Wu hummed unreasonably.

"Oh, that's a great joy, which brother? I really can't think of any brother who can be worthy of our third sister!"

Sister-in-law Yin clapped her hands, and let out a pleasant surprise.

"This family is in the eyes of the mother and aunt, it must be the same. Which family is it?"

"It's the eldest son of the Yu family who used to live in our area." Miao Matchmaker couldn't hold back her joy.

"Oh! It turned out to be the eldest son of the Yu family! But he couldn't find it 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!

"The big brother of the Yu family is so picky. He has been picking and picking for more than ten years, right? Dare he, he has been picking this and that all these years, just waiting for our third sister to grow up?"

Sister-in-law Yin kept talking and laughing, and kept clapping her hands, abruptly capturing the happiness of the whole room.

"No matter how he chooses, can he still pick out the bad things about our third sister? Let me tell you, the Yu family's marriage is nothing else. I just look at the flowers and plants in their yard. The three of us My sister has a demure temperament, she only loves flowers and plants, and everything else is like that!"

Matchmaker Miao couldn't hold back her joy, but was slapped everywhere by Mrs. Yin's slap after slap.

Aunt Wu also raised her head and smiled reservedly.

"Yu Dalang is so pretty, standing with our third sister, alas! That's so pretty! A golden boy and a jade girl!" Sister-in-law Yin then clapped her hands in praise.

"I just think they look good together when they stand up!" Matchmaker Miao smiled brightly.

"Yu Dalang is so capable. When it comes to doing business, there is no one in Manpingjiang Mansion better than him!"

Sister-in-law Yin kept clapping her hands and groaning, and her compliments were like a torrent of water in the Yangtze River, which made Miao Matchmaker and Aunt Wu giggle non-stop.

Li Xiaonan followed Mrs. Yin's clapping, raised and lowered the soles of her feet, lowered and raised them.

Mrs. Yin's praise has a clear rhythm, which is much better than Xiaochang!

Amidst the compliments, Sister-in-law Yin sent Matchmaker Miao and Aunt Wu out of the shop, followed by another five or six steps, stood and waved for a while, turned around and entered the shop, and spat first, "Bah!"

"Sister-in-law is amazing!" Li Jinzhu praised sincerely.

"A pair of villains, they are very bad, you must take a detour when you see them! Bah!" Sister Yin spat again.

"Grandma Miao came to my house a while ago and wanted to propose marriage to Yuzhu, but I didn't dare to agree, because I thought she was not authentic." Li Jinzhu said in a low voice.

"How kind is she!" Sister Yin raised her eyebrows, "Tell me carefully, she definitely doesn't have such kindness!"

Li Jinzhu said, and Li Xiaonan added that she explained in detail how Miao Matchmaker came to the door.

Sister-in-law Yin clapped her hands after hearing this, "She didn't come to say goodbye, it must be someone who has taken a fancy to our Yuzhu, I don't know what didn't meet her expectations, she came here to stir up trouble ! This kind of thing, she is always doing it!"

"Maybe it's the Yu family." Li Xiaonan stretched her head and said, "The two of them seem to have come here specifically to talk about the appointment of their third sister to Yu Dalang."

"That's not true! You're very proud. If it's really the Yu family, it would be a pity." Sister Yin frowned.

"It's not a pity." Li Jinzhu said indifferently, "My sister-in-law said that the neighbors in the neighborhood know what kind of matchmaker Miao is. If the Yu family doesn't know, then they are too blind to know people. If they know and trust them, they are stupid. No matter what it is, it is not considered a sensible person, and such a family cannot be regarded as a good family."

"That's a good point!" Sister-in-law Yin slapped her hands several times, "Then Yu's shop is diagonally across from our head office. If I really want to get married, I just cross the street, so I don't want to ask you directly. , then you should tell me, there is no need to ask this and that!

"Your elder sister is a sensible person!"

Sister-in-law Yin patted Li Xiaonan and smiled.

"Of course, Eldest Sister is understanding, transparent, courteous, magnanimous and..."

Li Xiaonan hadn't finished shooting a long series of rainbow farts, Li Jinzhu looked out the door, "What do you want to eat again?"

Sister Yin burst out laughing.

Linhai Town.

He Ruiming jumped off his horse at the entrance of the He Family Headquarters next to the Sea Taxation Department, strode straight to his father He Chengze's hut.

"What's the matter?" He Chengze took off his glasses and frowned at his sweaty son.

"There was another fight on the pier. This is the third fight today." He Ruiming spoke, reached out to pick up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and drank it down.

He Chengze frowned.

"How many foreigners have come to the pier, have you checked?" He Chengze asked after watching his son drink two cups of tea.

"There are still two piers that have not been reported. Now that they are reported, it is confirmed that there are nearly 500 people!" He Ruiming frowned.

He Chengze breathed a sigh of relief, there were only a few hundred people, compared to the tens of thousands of porters in the entire Linhai Town, it was nothing.

But where do these hundreds of people have the courage to keep picking things up and fighting?

"Father, it is said that these people came here in gangs, they are all Lianjiazi." He Ruiming lowered his voice.

He Chengze frowned again, and He Ruiming looked at his father's frown, which became even tighter.

Dad has been very worried for a while, and he also feels that something big is about to happen, even a feeling of imminent disaster.

After a long silence, He Chengze asked in a low voice: "That Huang Xianzhou, how is it?"

"From the first day, he arrived at the pier before dawn every day, and only went back after it was completely dark. Whichever pier he looked at, he lived in the public house closest to which pier.

"One of him and his master are on the side of the pier, and the other is on the other side of the pier. They keep remembering that they always eat with the porter when they eat." He Ruiming's voice was very low.

He Chengze listened attentively, his eyes were slightly closed, his two thumbs were slowly circling around, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Look at these two things from a distance, don't get close for now."

"Okay." He Ruiming nodded.
