peasant girl wedding

Chapter 121
"What are you doing in the house?" Fang Cuiwei asked casually when she saw the three sisters approaching.

Tong Duo'er looked at Tong Zhu'er, "Mother, Zhi'er is teaching Zhu'er how to draw."

Fang Cuiwei was a little surprised, and then laughed, "Okay, okay, Zhu'er is also self-motivated, after learning how to draw, she will be able to help your second sister in the future."

Tong Zhixin also had a look of relief.

Luo Shi looked at them enviously, thinking that her married daughter, Tong Zhaoyin's sister, was very capable when she was still in her natal family.

.........

At night, Tong Zhaoyin came back in the dark.The day before yesterday, I asked Manager Zhang for leave, and after he returned, he made up for the work that had been left behind.Shopkeeper Qin treated his second uncle well for his sake, and he also wanted to work hard to repay Shopkeeper Qin.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Luo Shi was in a daze, with tears in his eyes.

"Mother," he yelled, Luo Shi quickly came back to his senses and stood up, "You're back, mother is going to get you some water to wash your face."

She ran to the water tank in the kitchen, scooped two scoops of water into the basin, carried it to the main room, and threw the dried towels into the room.

Tong Zhaoyin twisted the veil, and heard Luo Shi muttering: "I don't know how your eldest sister is doing now?"

Tong Zhaoyin's eldest sister is Tong Hua'er, who married a butcher in a neighboring village three years ago.A married daughter can never go back to her mother's house when she has nothing to do, and there is no mother-in-law who always runs to her daughter's house.

Besides, they hadn't separated at that time, and the old lady was in strict control, working all day long.

Therefore, except for festivals, the days when Luo Shi can see Tong Hua'er are few and far between.

Luo Shi remembered that the last time he saw Tong Hua'er was during Chinese New Year last year, Tong Hua'er and her son-in-law brought a knife of meat, two catties of wine, a chicken and a duck.Tong Duo'er's face was full of sadness, Luo Shi only found out after asking, she didn't realize that she was pregnant before, accidentally fell, and the child was gone.

Thinking of this, Luo Shi had a severe headache in his heart, and he didn't know if Hua'er was in a better mood now, she had been married for three years and hadn't given birth to a baby for her husband's family, did her in-laws often talk about her.

She doesn't know what's going on if her daughter doesn't come back, she can only think wildly in her heart.

"Mother, when Dad gets better, let's go to Eldest Sister's house to have a look and tell Eldest Sister about my engagement."

Luo's eyes lit up, yes, such a big family matter, naturally he had to let his elder sister know.

Luo Shi quickly went back to the house, and took out the things he had picked out from the Ruyi Jewelry Shop to him.

"Zhi'er helped me pick this together. Tomorrow I will find Matchmaker Wu and ask her to give the things to Master Zhou. Let's settle this matter."

"Ah."

After washing his feet, he lay back on the bed, Miss Zhou's beautiful eyes appeared in his mind, and his heart became more and more restless.After tossing and turning for a long time, I only fell asleep in a daze in the middle of the night.

Early the next morning, Tong Zhaoyin cleaned himself up and ate a bowl of porridge with pickles before heading to the county.

Luo Shi waited on Tong Zhide for breakfast, then fed the overstocked geese and piglets, cleaned up the thatched cottage inside and out, changed into clean clothes, and went to matchmaker Wu's house.

Unfortunately, she went, Matchmaker Wu had been out for an hour, and Matchmaker Wu's family members said that they didn't know when she would be able to come back, so Luo asked them to wait for Matchmaker Wu to tell her that she had something important to look for. Then go back.

It was a hot day, and there was nothing to do, so Luo Shi took the needlework, moved a pony and sat on the vent.

When the sun was getting weaker in the afternoon, Matchmaker Wu came.

"Sister..."

Hearing the sound, Luo Shi hastily put down the needlework in his hand, and got up to meet him.

"Sister Wu, I'm so sorry that I asked you to go there in person on such a hot day." As she spoke, she went to the kitchen to fetch a basin of water so that Matchmaker Wu could wash her face.

With a refreshed face, Matchmaker Wu said, "Sister, what do you want from me?"

"Sister Wu, last time we went to Zhou's house, Master Zhou made an order, and we have already prepared it. Today I would like to trouble you to send the order to Zhou's house."

"It's a good relationship," Matchmaker Wu laughed from ear to ear.

Once the decision is made, the marriage is half done. As a matchmaker, can she be unhappy?
Luo Shi went to the house and gave her three boxes.

"Did you buy it at Ruyi Jewelry Store?"

Roche nodded.

Matchmaker Wu was also surprised. Judging from the current situation in Tong Zhaoyin's house, the jewelry they ordered was probably at a street stall, but who would have thought it would be at Ruyi shop.

However, Tong Zhaoyin's family has no money, but his fourth uncle Tong Zhixin's family does.

Matchmaker Wu felt a little emotional, the two brothers Tong Zhide and Tong Zhixin are really good, nothing to say.

"Success, I'll go to Zhou's house right now, and I'll send it to you, my sister, after they make a list of betrothal gifts."

Seeing that Matchmaker Wu was about to leave, Luo called to stop her, "Sister Wu, please sit down for a while, this matter is not in a hurry."

People leave when they come, and it's their family who asks for help, so they have to save a meal before they can talk about it.

"Of course it's such a big deal to get engaged. Girl, you don't have to keep me anymore. When I'm done with your family affairs, I'm definitely going to come and do it well."

After she said that, Luo Shi couldn't persuade her to stay any longer, and said, "OK, then I'll wait for Sister Wu to come over."

Matchmaker Wu waved her hand, got up and went out.

.........

Since she was kicked out by the Zhou family last time, the more the old lady thought about it, the more unhappy she felt.

At the beginning, the people of the Zhou family said that she was asked to bring her grandson there. Doesn't that mean that she wanted Tong Zhaojin to be her son-in-law?Otherwise, why do you have to take her grandson to Zhou's house together?

But this week the Zhou family was really deceiving people too much, and they turned their faces in the blink of an eye.

She hated it in her heart, but the old lady didn't dare to attack the Zhou family face to face. She also wanted to let Tong Zhaojin marry the young lady of the Zhou family, so that she could have a granddaughter-in-law with a generous dowry.

"Zhaojin, come with me to Zhou's house."

The old lady raised her head and said to Tong Zhaojin who was enjoying the shade under the tree.

Tong Zhaojin frowned, thinking of Miss Zhou's face, he still has lingering fears.

However, he didn't want to offend the old lady either.

If he could really marry the young lady of the Zhou family, regardless of his face, he would still have earned it.Women, as long as you have money, you don't have to worry about having a beautiful...

Thinking of this, Tong Zhaojin couldn't help but chuckled.

"Hey, grandma, let's go now."

The two of them tidied up and hurried towards the Zhou Mansion.

"It's you again?"

The boy opened the door and saw that it was the old lady and Tong Zhaojin, with a very impatient tone.

"It's us," the old lady forced a smile on her face, "Is Miss Zhou there?"

"Miss is not here!"

The boy said angrily.

"What about Master Zhou?"

"The master is busy and has no time to see you."

"Then, let us go in and wait." The old lady did not give up.

"Are you annoying, old lady? If you don't leave, I'll drive you away!"

The boy rushed out from the door, holding a stick in his hand, with a fierce expression on his face.

The old lady was also angry, she endured in such a low voice, but what she got in exchange was not the desired result, she opened her mouth and cursed: "You short-sighted thing, when my grandson becomes the son-in-law of the Zhou family, look How will I fix you then!"

"I bother!"

The servant spit out, "Son-in-law? Don't be a toad who wants to eat swan meat. My young lady has already been engaged to a young man from another family. Your grandson still wants to be the son-in-law of our Zhou family. Don't say it's impossible in this life. In the next life , it will be impossible in the next life!"

"Engagement?" The old lady grasped the key words, "Who are you engaged to?"

The boy had long lost his patience and raised his stick, "Go or not!"

The old lady was not reconciled, but facing the fierceness of the servant, she could only leave in resentment.

After walking a dozen or so steps, a man in red clothes and a red flower on his hair came towards him.

The old lady took a closer look and found that she was the well-known matchmaker Wu in the village.

"Matchmaker Wu..."

The old lady stopped her.

Matchmaker Wu smiled faintly, "It's the old lady of the Tong family," she glanced at Tong Zhaojin beside the old lady, "What are you two doing?"

The old lady wanted to make things bigger so that everyone would know that Miss Zhou's family had no face. At that time, no one would be able to marry, so she could only bring a generous dowry to Tong Zhaojin as his wife.

"Miss Zhou asked us to propose marriage, but who would have thought that those evil servants outside the door would not let us in, saying that Miss Zhou had already engaged someone else? Oh, it's really funny. If Miss Zhou really If we are engaged, how can we let our family recruit money." The old lady covered her lips and laughed.

"The old lady of the Tong family——"

"What's the matter?" The old lady raised her head and felt a thump in her heart when she met Matchmaker Wu's expressionless face.

"It's best to just say what you just said in front of me alone. The reputation of the Zhou family and Miss Zhou can't be arranged casually. Don't blame me for not reminding you, Mr. Zhou is a rich man, how many officials? They all want to curry favor with him. If you annoy Master Zhou, be careful not to know how you died."

"you……"

The old lady stretched out her fingers tremblingly, furious in her heart.

Matchmaker Wu didn't look at her again, she walked past the other side with her head up, stopped, deliberately disgusted her and said: "By the way, I'm kind enough to tell you that it is indeed your grandson who is engaged to the young lady of the Zhou family, but , I really want to remember that their family just separated from you, so it’s none of your business to get married!" Don’t even think about getting the slightest benefit!

"you……"

Matchmaker Wu shook her head, strode forward, and pulled the pull ring on the door of Zhou Mansion.

The young man opened the door and roared. When he saw it was Matchmaker Wu, he immediately turned around and said with a smile: "So you are here, please come inside..."

"Milk."

Tong Zhaojin looked at the old lady with a look of jealousy, "How could Zhaoyin be engaged to Miss Zhou?" He really took advantage of it!
