Red apricots make spring

Chapter 91 The Matchmaker Comes to the Door
Wen Gang also had a lot of dissatisfaction with Xu Xiucai, so he happily returned the letter.Of course, he secretly opened it on the way to read it, and saw that the entire letter was "teaching" my sister what to do to be a woman of virtue and character, and I was very happy!I thought to myself, my sister hasn't married you yet, so why are you putting on airs!However, when he still believed it in person, the last sentence Wenrou said, he couldn't repeat it because of Xu Xiucai's face, but he brought the first two sentences verbatim, and Xu Xiucai listened, but his face was slightly red After a while, I was secretly happy.

Xu Xiucai thought that she was gentle and shy, and felt deep approval for her behavior of being very virtuous, so she wanted to ask for marriage more strongly, and couldn't wait any longer, so she sent Wen Gang to study first, and then went to find Zuo Jin Ma Shi, a well-known matchmaker, went to the Wen family to propose marriage.

When Mrs. Ma received the business, she was overjoyed. She patted her chest and said yes. She promised that the Wen family would agree to the marriage, and asked Xu Xiucai to wait to hear the good news. Twist out the door.

This morning, Xu Xiucai was a little restless even teaching. The students memorized the wrong book, and he sat there with a dazed smile, dreaming of getting married, which made the students confused. Wen Gang was also surprised. After returning the letter to him, how could he not be angry but secretly happy?

Not to mention Xu Xiucai, just say that the matchmaker Ma Shi turned to the head of Wen's house, and before entering the door, she shouted loudly: "Old sister, I'm here to congratulate you!"

Mother Wen greeted her from the door with wet hands, she recognized that Mrs. Ma was used to being a matchmaker, she often hangs around at other people's doors, secretly guessing in her heart if Xu Xiucai came to propose marriage, but Wen Wen didn't agree with it at all, and she didn't dare The master, half happy and half worried: "What do you say? Where is the happy event in my family?"

"Your brother's husband, he's taken a fancy to your daughter!" Mrs. Ma said as she walked into the house, and kept saying, "He came here in a hurry just now and asked me to be the big matchmaker for him." I saw his anxious look, and I laughed in my heart, saying that he is a scholar, as long as he is willing to marry, which girl would not marry? If you marry a scholar, you may become an official wife one day, and you will have nothing to worry about. , when the time comes, I will buy two little maids, so I don’t even need to cook, I can stretch out my clothes, and open my mouth when I eat. Who wouldn’t want to live such a good life? So I put a guarantee in front of him, saying that Marriage is bound to happen!"

Mother Wen wanted to be gentle at home, and she was afraid that she would hear her, so she would drag Ma Shi to whisper about this matter, who would have thought that Ma Shi would say a long series of words, and she couldn't get in, and finally waited for Ma Shi to change. When she was angry, she just opened her mouth, but she saw Mrs. Ma flicking her veil, and let out a piercing laugh, and then said: "Don't laugh, old sister. Although I boasted about this matter, I still have to accept it." Waiting for you to nod! It’s just that such a good family, if you miss this village, there will be no such shop!”

"But..." Ms. Wen saw a figure flashing in the room out of the corner of her eyes, she was in a hurry to speak, but she was interrupted again, that Mrs. Ma said "嗐", swept the handkerchief in front of her eyes like a fly, and then He said: "I know, you think that Xu Xiucai married your daughter to fill in the house, but that is also the marriage of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no concubine in his family, no one will share your daughter's favor! Besides, , this man who has been married knows how to love others better than a boy, not to mention that Xu Xiucai is not very old, he is in his prime, and he is literate. Where can he find such a good marriage? I said old sister, You just agree, and I can go back to work!"

"That's right!" Rourou came out of the room, stood in front of Mashi and said loudly such a sentence, so happy that the thick powder on Mashi's face fell down in a rustle, and the bloody mouth gasped Zhang, when he was about to speak, Wen Wen continued: "You'd better go back and deal with business, just say that my family disagrees with this marriage!"

"This..." Mrs. Ma thought that Ruanrou was so happy that she couldn't help but rushed out to agree to the marriage, but she didn't expect her to change the subject and say the words of refusal. She froze there for a while, and then took Looking at Mother Wen for help, she said: "This is a big marriage, parents decide, girl, let your mother make up the mind."

Mother Wen is really in a dilemma at the moment. If she follows her heart, she is naturally willing to agree to this marriage.She always thought that her daughter had already lost her virginity in the Zhao Mansion, and chastity was very important in the early years, and a woman who lost her virginity could basically only be a concubine for others, even if she could be married by a clear matchmaker, she could only marry those coolies, Compared with the family who is poor and unable to marry the girl of Huanghua, marrying Xu Xiucai is naturally much more dignified, and her life will be guaranteed in the future, but Gentle disagrees, and even had a big argument with her, saying those unfeeling words, She no longer dared to make up her mind for her daughter.But now being suppressed by Mrs. Ma's words, she felt a little offended, and she was even more afraid that her daughter would say those outrageous words in front of outsiders, which would lose the Wen family's upbringing, so she hurriedly said in a perfunctory way: "This matter is too serious. It happened suddenly, and I wasn't prepared for it, so I'll wait until I think about it."

Rourou frowned, and before she could speak, she heard Ma said with a smile: "Old sister, what else is there to think about? Don't you feel at ease when you settle down earlier? My daughter is married well, and when you get old in the future, you will also have someone to worry about." Those who rely on!"

Mother Wen complained incessantly, thinking why Ma Shi is so impatient, don't really make Wen Rou explode on the spot, everyone looks ugly!She secretly raised her eyes to look at Wen Rou, but saw that her daughter was just looking at her and sneering. She felt anxious and didn't know what to say, so she just repeated and muttered: "Let me think again, think again..."

"What can you think about? I don't agree!" Rourou said firmly: "Young lady, please go back."

"Hey, how did you say that..." Mrs. Ma panicked for a while, then smiled calmly and said, "Even if you don't agree, the girl will have to tell a reason why you don't agree, so I can go back to the business! You Tell me, what's wrong with Xu Xiucai that makes you look down on him? In terms of character, talent and appearance, he is top-notch! Now there is a private school at home, and there are no girls to starve..."

Where do you look down upon?There are too many places to look down on, the most terrible thing is his self-righteous thinking and deep-rooted pedantic ideas!But when she said this to the ancient matchmaker, she wouldn't understand, she raised her head softly and said: "I don't want to marry someone to fill the house, not to mention he is too old!"

"Old! Ouch! How can you be old? Xu Xiucai is a rabbit, and he is only 33 this year!" As Ma said, he was about to take out the birthday horoscope that Xu Xiucai wrote to her, and muttered: "That Wang Ermazi who is diagonally opposite the door Unmarried, young and strong, but his family is so poor that he is almost begging for food. If he comes to propose marriage, are you willing to marry? Does it matter if the house is filled, as long as the person is good..."

"Don't worry about it, aunt. You're tired of running this trip for nothing. Use the two money to buy tea. I know you're busy, so I don't want to keep you here. Please come back!" Rourou said, Throwing thirty copper coins to Mrs. Ma, he raised his voice and shouted to Ye Yu who was avoiding him: "Xiao Yu, see off!"
