peasant girl wedding

Chapter 117 Master Zhou
"When the horoscope is combined, you will find a day to go to the Zhou Mansion to propose marriage."

Matchmaker Wu stood up and said with a smile.

Luo Shi also got up and sent her outside the door.

"What's up?"

Fang Cuiwei came over to ask at this time.

Luo Shi poured her a glass of water, and the two talked together.

"Sister Wu said that she is the young lady of the Zhou family, and she is four years older than Zhaoyin. Her parents are reluctant to let her go, and she herself wants to find someone she likes, so it has been delayed until now. It just so happened that she came back from Qingzhou I saw Zhaoyin at that time, so I moved my mind and invited Matchmaker Wu to talk." Luo Shi could not stop smiling.

Fang Cuiwei also laughed, "Since the Miss Zhou family is interested in Zhaoyin, the couple's life will be smooth in the future, but the Zhou family is the richest man in our village, so the gift money..."

Roche's heart was also a little heavy.

Marrying a daughter-in-law of the same family is usually a dowry gift of two taels of silver. For the richest man like the Zhou family to marry a young lady from his family, the dowry gift must be more.

Thinking of this, Luo Shi couldn't help scolding himself inwardly, it was really too straightforward to agree just now.

Forget it, if the Zhou family can't afford the dowry money that the Zhou family wants, this marriage will have to be done.

After thinking about it, Luo Shi also had a relieved smile on his face.

.........

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the ivy beside the thatched house became more and more dense, and new leaves grew out, and a gust of wind blew through, making rustling noises.

Matchmaker Wu came to Tong Zhide's house with a happy face.

"Oh, your Zhaoyin family and the Zhou family are a match made in heaven. They are a perfect match." Matchmaker Wu smiled and bent over. This is a matchmaker for Miss Zhou's family. Just more and less.

"Sister, you asked your family to take a day off tomorrow, and the two of you went to the Zhou Mansion to visit and asked about other things. Let's hear what the dowry money the master wants this week. It’s time for you to be ready.”

"Yes," Roche nodded.

"Then I'll go to Zhou's house first."

"Sister Wu has worked hard. This is the tea bought by Zhaoyin to honor his father. I know that Sister Wu's family also likes to drink tea. If you don't mind, please take this tea away."

Roche picked up a paper package from the table.

"My sister is so annoying. It just so happens that the tea at home is gone. I will accept my sister's wishes."

Matchmaker Wu's family also has some family background, and the tea she drinks is all good tea. Just by smelling the smell from the paper bag that wraps the tea, she knows that the tea is a very common one.

However, in the case of Tong Zhide's family, this is the best tea they can afford.

Naturally, Matchmaker Wu would not reject other people's good intentions, so as not to cause a pimple in Luo Shi's heart, she held the paper bag in her hand with a smile on her face.

Luo Shi sent her outside the house as usual, and then turned around to do his own thing.

When it was dark, Tong Zhaoyin came back from the county, and Luo Shi told him what Wu Matchmaker had said.

"Okay, I'll get up early tomorrow and ask Manager Zhang for leave."

Luo Shi picked up a few pieces of clothes on the table and handed them to him, "The clothes my mother made for you a while ago are also finished, tomorrow you will wear this new clothes to Zhou's house."

Tong Zhaoyin took the clothes, but his eyes were fixed on Luo Shi's dark circles.

My mother has worked so hard for my own marriage. From now on, I must treat my mother doubly well, my daughter-in-law must also treat my mother well, and so will my father.

"Go into the house quickly, your father has something to say to you."

"Hey----"

Tong Zhaoyin put the clothes back on the table, turned around and went to the room where Tong Zhide was lying.

Tong Zhide leaned against the wall and half sat on the bed.

These days, with the conditioning of the medicine and Luo Che's service, he has been able to move.

"Father," Tong Zhaoyin moved a chair and sat down beside the bed.

Tong Zhide looked at his somewhat thin face, secretly annoyed in his heart, why is his body still not recovering...

"Son, don't worry about the money for marrying a daughter-in-law. We should borrow what we should borrow and earn what we should earn. When the daughter-in-law comes to our house, your mother and I will feel at ease."

"Well, I see." Seeing that Tong Zhide wanted to move his body, he quickly changed his posture for him.

The father and son talked for a while, and Luo Shi brought hot water into the room at this time.

"Zhaoyin, I've brought the water for washing your feet to your room, go to bed early, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Roche put the basin on the ground and said.

Tong Zhaoyin nodded, said goodnight to Tong Zhide and Luo Shi, and walked back to his room.

"You said, can this marriage really work?"

Luo Shi twisted the veil and sighed.

"Miss Zhou's family has a heart for Zhaoyin, so I'm afraid Master Zhou won't. After all, our family is far behind Zhou's family."

"Forget it, don't think about it so much. If the Zhou family can't make it, we can still say that the girls from other families have jobs in a restaurant. The parents of other girls will be willing to marry their daughters to our family."

"Ah."

Luo Shi began to wipe Tong Zhide's body, and it took half an hour to be counted. Fortunately, it was cool in Linzi, otherwise, after all this busy work, she would be sweating all over, as if she was soaked in water. It's the same as pulling it out.

Taking some dirty water outside and pouring it out, Luo Shi felt the bright moonlight shining in from the yard, went to the kitchen to scoop up the remaining hot water in the pot, moved a small mat, and began to wash his face and feet.

In the room, Tong Zhide lifted the thin quilt on his body, moved one leg slowly, hanging on the side of the bed, and then landed on the ground, and repeated the movement with the other leg, and when both legs fell to the ground, his forehead Already full of sweat.

He asked Dr. Dong, and Dr. Dong said that if he felt that he could bear it, he could try to get out of bed and walk around, which would be good for his body.

He didn't tell anyone about this matter, and he didn't let Dr. Dong say it.

He wanted to surprise Roche.

Tong Zhide's body also got off the bed, but it was bent like a bow.

His left leg started to move forward, and the pain made his teeth chatter. When the pain subsided a little, he started to move his right leg.

"ah----"

Luo Shi pushed open the door, staring at Tong Zhide who was standing on the ground dumbfounded.

Tong Zhide forced a smile on his face, "Daughter-in-law, look, I can get out of bed now."

A lot of hair on his forehead was already wet, and his face was a little ugly because of the pain. Luo Shi's tears welled up in his eyes, and he quickly ran over to hold his arm.

"You want to get out of bed, why don't you tell me, what if you fall?"

Tong Zhide smiled naively, "I won't fall, I know my body best, look—"

With that said, Tong Zhide wanted to move forward again.

Lin grabbed his arm nervously, and slowly followed him. After five steps, Luo's heart was full of excitement.

"Father, let's stop here today. I'll help you back to bed and rest, and we'll come back when it dawns tomorrow."

Tong Zhide nodded, but his body was exhausted, and was supported by Luo Shi to sit on the bed.

Because he was sweating, Luo Shi ran to the kitchen again, put three scoops of water into the pot, and added firewood to the stove of Hsing Zi. A place to sweat all over again.

…………

The next morning, Tong Zhaoyin put on the new clothes his mother had made for him, and Luo Shi also changed into clean and tidy clothes, holding a basket covered with black silk cloth in his hand, saying goodbye to Tong Zhide, and the two went together Go to Zhou's house.

"You two are here. My master has been waiting for a long time."

Luo Shi raised his head and met the smiling butler.

The two followed the housekeeper into the mansion, and the housekeeper quietly observed them.

There are surprises, admiration, and appreciation, but there is no greed.

After all, it is really different who the young lady likes.

"You two, please wait here, the younger one will go in and pass the word."

"It's work."

Luo Shi was a little nervous and said, Tong Zhaoyin also nodded.

After a while, the two heard a heavy voice coming from the room.

"Please come in."

The butler came out of the room, opened the door, and made a "please" gesture.

The light in the room was somewhat dim, and the sunlight came in through the black diamond-shaped panes, casting a long and wide bright spot on the desk.

Tong Zhaoyin looked up at Master Zhou who was sitting behind the desk. His arms, arms and shoulders were bright, but his neck and face were dark, making it hard to see his expression at the moment.

However, he must be watching himself.

"Why did you marry my daughter?"

Tong Zhaoyin was startled, and returned: "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker."

He is a well-behaved person.

However, he was not the ideal son-in-law in his mind.

However, his daughter preferred him, and he couldn't object, so he had no choice but to follow her.

Master Zhou didn't say anything, which made Tong Zhaoyin's heart beat.

Feeling being bumped, Tong Zhaoyin looked at Luo Shi beside him. Luo Shi winked at him with his eyes, and glanced at the basket in his hand.

Tong Zhaoyin understood, and lifted the black silk covering the basket, and the two mandarin ducks wrapped half of their body in red cloth stayed quietly in the basket also covered with red cloth.

Tong Zhaoyin took the mandarin duck out of the basket and put it on Master Zhou's desk.This is a dowry gift, with live mandarin ducks as the gift.Although Matchmaker Wu was invited by the Zhou family, their family had to do all the wedding procedures honestly so that no one else would gossip.

Because of getting closer, Tong Zhaoyin finally saw Master Zhou's appearance clearly.

Thick eyebrows, expressionless face, and the shrewdness of a businessman in his eyes, he is looking at him unhurriedly at the moment.

Tong Zhaoyin put the mandarin duck on the table, and slowly retreated.

"My mother-in-law left behind to discuss and decide. You can go to the backyard to meet the lady." Asking the name, that is, the horoscope of both men and women, has been matched by Wu Matchmaker before, and Master Zhou is going to discuss the appointment with Luo Shi. detail.

"Hey," Tong Zhixin turned and walked outside.

Master Zhou frowned.

Unexpectedly, he was a stupid boy, he kept his head silent when he left, and didn't even say a word to shout...
