Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 736
"Xiao Li, isn't this too expensive?"

Liu Xiaohua pointed to the gift box, and saw that there were engravings on the box, and it was the most high-end of the time-honored brands. They really looked good when they took out their hands, but they were afraid that Qinglihua would be wronged.

"It's okay, it's all given by someone else."

Qingli pressed Liu Xiaohua's hand to make her feel at ease. In fact, this kind of gift box is just a good-looking picture. There are not many cakes in it. It's just for show. It's not real at all. People with good relationship usually use oiled paper to wrap their snacks when they go around. , pick what the other party likes to eat, cheap and affordable.

About a quarter of an hour later, we arrived at the place that Mrs. Zhang had mentioned. The carriage could only be parked in the alley. Mai Dong and the coachman were holding the box. I also asked Qingli's servant girl to help with my own affairs.

"Let's go."

Qing Li didn't mind, Mai Dong was very strong, holding it was just a matter of effort, just as everyone reached the door, Mrs. Zhang just came out from inside, followed by a fat woman, who must be her cousin.

"Liu's daughter, this lady, you are all here."

Seeing the gift boxes behind her, Mrs. Zhang squinted her eyes with a smile. The other party really knew etiquette. She saw that the marriage was unmistakable, and her cousin was also very enthusiastic, calling everyone into the house for tea.

"Grandma Zhang, the gift box here is for you and your cousin. If you bother me, please look to Haihan, and the gift box over there is for Miss Dong's family."

Qingli quickly made the distribution, and Mrs. Zhang's cousin served tea for everyone, wondering if there was something wrong with what the cousin said, didn't it mean that the Liu family had no relatives, and the family background was very ordinary, and there was a crazy sister, what happened this time? There was an extra young lady who came to the door. She knew these gift boxes, and they cost more than a dozen taels of silver a box. This little money was ignored. Could it be said that the Liu family is a low-key one?She doesn't have a daughter, otherwise she would have wanted Liu Erniu to be her son-in-law.

"Miss, you are just like a fairy in the sky."

Mrs. Zhang's cousin praised Qingli a few words, and then told a few people about the situation of the Dong family next door. The two neighbors have been neighbors for more than ten years, and they know each other's character very well. The character is absolutely correct, and they are both reasonable. , Dong Daya is very capable and has a strong heart, but she is soft-tempered, and she does not dislike the poor and love the rich. When the two families were talking through the fence, Dong Daya said that she wanted to find a harmonious family, so that she could live a life like this.

Qingli nodded, it sounds good, not a high-minded one, the Liu family needs a down-to-earth daughter-in-law, and Miss Xiaohua will get married sooner or later, the key depends on whether Brother Er Niu is suitable for this Dong Daya, the conditions don't matter, she can help Just help.

Liu Erniu kept his head down and kept silent, but he listened very carefully. With the conditions of his family, he wanted to be a bachelor all the time. Taking this matter to heart, he silently entrusted the matchmaker.

"Okay then, let's go to the yard, our two families are only separated by a fence, so we can see clearly."

Mrs. Zhang's cousin shook her sleeves and led everyone to the yard. Qingli looked at Dong's house through the fence. The brick and tile house was old. There were only three main rooms in the house, and the side was a yellow mud thatched house. It looked like it was used for sundries. There was a stove next to the thatched house, with cooking smoke rising from the top.

The yard here is only the front yard. There is a small vegetable field in the yard, some beans and cucumbers are planted, and a few hens are raised. The yard is very clean, and there is no chicken droppings. The family should be very diligent.

"Big girl, big girl!"

Mrs. Zhang's cousin stretched her neck and yelled, but Liu Erniu trembled. He stood by the fence, staring at the next room without moving his eyes, looking forward to it.

The first one to come out was a woman in her thirties, with a sallow complexion, two patches on her calico dress, and a wooden hairpin on her head, followed by a girl and two boys. The girl was about ten years old. , the two boys were also seven or eight years old, and everyone looked this way unanimously.

"Mom, I saw a fairy, it's the fairy sister!"

One of the clear-eyed boys lay down beside the fence, pointed in the direction of Qingli and shouted, "Eldest sister, come out quickly, Xiaosi saw the fairy, it's the fairy sister!"

"Cough cough."

Qingli looked embarrassed, and took two steps back, feeling that she had stolen Er Niuge's limelight, she became the object of everyone's observation, she hid behind Mai Dong, still unwilling to give up, wanting to watch this interesting meeting.

"Here comes."

The eldest daughter of the Dong family has already been informed and also learned about the situation of the Liu family. She herself is very satisfied. The eldest brother is a sixth-rank official, and her family is ordinary people. She is still worrying about the firewood in winter. The good thing has come to her. head, it's hard to believe.

She took care of it a bit and washed her hair. The dress she was wearing was a dowry brought by her mother when she was married. It was about 20 years old. It was slightly faded and had no patches. It was made of fine cotton and was very comfortable to wear. On her head was a wooden hairpin carved by her father, and her family was too poor to afford makeup, so she just came out with a plain face.

"Sister Xiaohua, what do you think?"

Qing Li hid behind Mai Dong, and asked Liu Xiaohua who was on the side, after the Dong family girl came out, she immediately blushed when she saw the people standing in the yard, but she didn't go back into the house and stood where she was , looked at Liu Erniu from the corner of his eye, and the two looked at each other.

"Very good, with a handsome appearance, and he is not a person with many things."

Liu Xiaohua nodded, she said something serious, like a fortune teller, she also knew how to read faces, Qingli rubbed her forehead, feeling a little awkward, the other party's family, except for the father of the eldest daughter of Dong's family, stood in a row, her side The same is true, the coachman was unwilling to be lonely, and went into the yard to watch the excitement. If the coachman hadn't gotten old, he really didn't know who was watching.

"Big girl, why don't you come over and have a chat, second boy, third boy, fourth boy, there are delicious cakes here, come to Aunt Zhang's place to play!"

When Mrs. Zhang's cousin saw that there was a door, she hurriedly greeted the Dong family and asked Daya Dong and Erniu Liu to talk to each other through the fence in the yard. Everyone was there, so it must be embarrassing, so people came over to avoid it.

Qing Li nodded, this is a good idea, we need to chat a few words and introduce ourselves to each other, so as to get a general impression, she didn't enter the house, but sat in the carriage with Mai Dong and waited.

"My name is Liu Erniu. I will be Ruoguan in a few months. I am a carpenter. I have no physical defects. I have an older brother and younger sister at home, hehe."

On the carriage, Qingli was drinking tea. Hearing Liu Erniu's self-introduction, she almost spit out a sip of tea. She really didn't want to eavesdrop, but her hearing was too good. Now she knew without looking that Brother Erniu was touching Head or rubbing hands and giggling.

"My house has a yard. It's not big, but it's enough to live in. Do you have any requirements?"
