Red apricots make spring

Chapter 92

The matchmaker, Mrs. Ma, was kicked out of Wen Wen's house in a disguised form, and she jumped in front of Wen's house for a while, scolding Wen Wen for not having the upbringing her daughter should have, and complaining that she didn't give her enough money, and finally went back angrily to find Xu Talented.After imitating Xu Xiucai's words in front of Xu Xiucai, he sighed pretendingly: "I said Xu Xiucai, what kind of person do you choose? You want to pick her? How about this? There is a girl from the Qin family in the east of the lane. , who is twenty-eight years old, and looks like a female worker who can't be wrong, she is suitable for you, just right! How about I go to his house and tell you about it?"

When Xu Xiucai heard what she said, he was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and he was suddenly stunned. He really didn't expect that the Wen family would not agree to what was originally a sure thing!At this moment, she was so angry that her face was flushed red, and she felt that she was condescending to marry Wen Rou, but she was still picky!But because of his face, he was not easy to get angry, and when Mrs. Ma mentioned the girl from the Qin family in the east of the lane again, he immediately laughed and sneered: "Stop teasing me, and pretend I haven't seen his girl before?" She looks pretty good, but if she has nothing to do all day long, she hangs the curtain and sits at the front of the door knocking melon seeds, teasing with the idlers on the street, such a person, I don’t even want to be a concubine!”

"Hey, Xiucai, you have a good vision! Then the girl from the Wen family goes out to set up night stalls all day long, don't you think so?" Mrs. Ma walked around the streets all day long and knew all kinds of gossip.

"If there is such a thing?" Xu Xiucai really didn't know, and became anxious when he heard this.

"That's right! She still pretended to be a man, and went with that distant relative of her family, that boy surnamed Ye!" Mrs. Ma said, tsk-tsk: "The lonely man The widow is stuck together all day long, maybe she has committed some scandal, do you still miss her?"

"Not so...not so..." Xu Xiucai didn't know whether he wanted to round up his gentle face or his own face, so he muttered for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't think she is such a frivolous person."

"This is the saying that you know people, know their faces, but don't know their hearts! You are a scholar who only knows how to study, what else do you know? I can see this kind of thing a lot!" Ma said, and then sold him: "You don't like Daughter of the Qin family, how about the daughter of the Wei family who is across the alley? She is really a lady, gentle and steady, she doesn't even step out of the house on weekdays."

"No, no!" Xu Xiucai was in a bad mood at the moment, how could he want to pester her?Leaving her behind, she turned around and left, so anxious that Mrs. Ma shouted from behind: "Xiucai! I have been working for you for a long time, and I didn't take a sip of water, and my feet were swollen from running. Don't you even pay for your feet?"

Xu Xiucai turned his head and hesitated, "Didn't the marriage be settled?"

"It depends on fate when talking about marriage. I said a lot of things, and if they don't agree, they can't blame me! You can't save these hard-earned money." Ma Shi caught up with her His clothes blocked his way.

Xu Xiucai had no choice but to flirt with the matchmaker on the street, so he reached into his bosom for money, and after a long time, he finally found out ten copper coins, and said impatiently, "Take it, take it." She thought it was too little, so she ran away.

Seeing that Xu Xiucai is so stingy, Mrs. Ma felt annoyed, jumped after him and scolded for a while, finally had no choice but to put away the money, and muttered unwillingly: "It's really a poor scholar who wants to marry even if he has no money." Daughter-in-law, you are not even as good as that girl from the Wen family, she said that people look down on you!"

Fortunately, Xu Xiucai ran so fast that he didn't hear this, otherwise he would be so angry that he would vomit three liters of blood.Besides, when he ran back to the private school, he saw the students making a fuss while he wasn't there, so he yelled at them when he went in, and asked them to line up and stretch out their hands to hit the ruler. Even Wen Gang didn't spare him, beating the students one by one Crying for father and mother, going home with swollen palms.

When he finished venting his anger on the students and calmed down by himself, he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, and he kept muttering: "Impossible...it doesn't make sense...how is it possible..." Thinking back then He has just been selected as a scholar, who in the village doesn't want to marry his daughter to him?People who go to his house to propose marriage will almost break the threshold. It doesn't make sense that their value will plummet after only a few years, right?Thinking of Mother Wen's attentive attitude towards him and her "shy" appearance when she saw him tenderly, he felt even more like a cat scratching his heart.

correct!It must be that Mrs. Ma deliberately made things difficult in the middle, and she must make this marriage difficult, so that she can show her skills, and then she can ask for two more happy money!Yes, it must be so!Maybe the Qin family and the Wei family also intended to betroth their daughters to him, that's why Mrs. Ma spoke well of them and deliberately belittled Wenrou, so that she could earn money from the matchmaker at both ends!

The more Xu Xiucai thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was reasonable. He couldn't sit still any longer, so he jumped up, locked the door, and ran to Wen's house.He wants to come to the door in person to find out the truth of the matter to Mrs. Wen. Although it is a bit out of courtesy, he can't take care of it. Besides, going in person will not only be more sincere, but also save two matchmaker money, which should have been a long time ago. This is the right way to do it.

He grabbed the hem of his clothes and ran to Wen's house. Seeing that the door was ajar, he stopped to take a breath, reached out and knocked on the door twice. After waiting for a while, no one came out to meet him. He thought to himself that maybe the Wen's family didn't Hearing this, he pushed the door open and walked into the small courtyard. He didn't see the man who had been sitting in the courtyard making rice dumplings. He walked a few more steps and looked up to see that the hall door was closed tightly. Mother Wen's voice came intermittently from inside——

"I'm doing it for you too...Which mother wouldn't want...to marry well..."

He knew in his heart that eavesdropping on others was not a gentleman's behavior, but he couldn't help but want to hear what they were saying, so Xu Xiucai got closer.

"Okay, I know you're doing it for my own good, but can you stop talking about this matter? I still have a lot to do." The gentle voice sounded very impatient.

"Daughter, you really don't think about it any more?" Mother Wen softened her voice and said hesitantly, "You lost your body in Zhao's mansion... You can only be a concubine in the future, such a good opportunity right now... ..."

Xu Xiucai was shocked when he heard this sentence!how come!She is not perfect!She was broken!How shameless!So lewd!I am a dignified scholar, I must never marry such an unfaithful woman!Fortunately... Fortunately, there was no commission for this marriage, otherwise a ready-made green hat would have been worn on her head...

The blow was so great that Xu Xiucai felt his ears buzzing, his thoughts were in a mess and he couldn't figure it out. He didn't even hear what Mother Wen and Rourou said later.

At this time, Ye Yu, Wen Gang and Xiaohuan, who were sent by Wen's mother to buy things, came back. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Xu Xiucai standing stupidly in their yard, with a livid face and a ferocious expression, and they were all surprised.

After all, he is Wen Gang's husband, just now Wen Gang heard about the matchmaker's visit to propose marriage after returning home, thought that he had been hit too hard, and somewhat couldn't bear it, stepped forward and pushed him: "Sir? Why are you here? You look ugly, do you want to come in and have a cup of tea? "

When Mama Wen heard someone talking outside, she quickly stopped talking, opened the door with a "squeak", and was shocked when she saw Xu Xiucai standing outside the door, and then panicked when she saw that his expression was wrong. Do you suspect that he could have heard you talking to your daughter in the room just now?Just about to speak nervously, Xu Xiucai suddenly jumped up, pointed at her nose and scolded angrily: "What a black-hearted woman! You want to marry me as a virgin girl who has lost her virginity!"
