Chapter 377: Forced Marriage
Jiuxing Hutong is very lively.
Uncle Li, who was carrying the burden to buy Liangpi, had a good business today, and after buying Liangpi early, he closed the stall and went home. Before passing by a pastry shop, he also took a few coppers and bought a few small snacks for his children, and went back to satisfy his hunger.
Not long after I walked into the alley, I ran into a neighbor's Aunt Zhang with a basket hanging on her right arm, obviously preparing to buy vegetables.
Aunt Zhang greeted: "Lao Li, it's early to close the stall today!"
Third Uncle Li smiled and nodded, "Yes, the weather has become warmer, and there are more people eating cold skin." ”
"That's a good thing, the more customers you have, the better the business. Then I'll go grocery shopping. ”
"Hey, okay. Third Uncle Li leaned over, made way out, and let Aunt Li pass.
Aunt Li had just walked a few steps, and seemed to think of something again, sighed, turned around and said, "Don't pass here, you're afraid that you won't be able to pass here." ”
"Why is this?" Uncle Li was puzzled, he had been from this in the past!
Aunt Li stretched out her finger, pointed to the front, and said, "The road ahead is blocked." ”
"Blocked, what are you gambling on?"
Women love gossip and love to say. I finally came across an opportunity where I understand what you don't understand, so I naturally want to seize the opportunity to talk about it, so as to show that I really know more.
Aunt Zhang walked back and said as if she was upside down: "Let me tell you, someone from the Yun family has come to propose, ouch, it must be a big family, bringing boxes and boxes of dowry gifts." I counted it just now, and it was estimated that there were about twenty boxes, but they sank. ”
"Dowry gift?" Third Uncle Li wondered, "When I left this morning, someone from the Yun family also sent a dowry gift, why did I send it again in the afternoon, could it be that the morning one was too small, and I brought it to make up for it?"
"I don't know. But I also wondered, how could this dowry be placed in the middle of the road and not carried into the house? Hey, you know what?"
Third Uncle Li rolled his eyes, "I just came back, how do I know?"
"Oh, too, I forgot you just came back. However, this Yun family has been really good recently, two children have married, and one husband's family is still Wu Zhuangyuan. I really don't know what kind of immortal incense this Yun family burned in their previous life, and they actually have such good luck. ”
"Don't forget, the Yun family is an official family. Maybe there is really a bodhisattva to bless it. ”
Aunt Zhang nodded, and the little people thought that the people who were officials were blessed by the Bodhisattva. Thinking of the scene of the Yun family's woman getting married, I couldn't help but be surprised.
"This Yun family, it's really generous, the granddaughter is married, all of them are eighty-one dowry, and they can fill our Jiuxing Hutong. It's magnificent. ”
Third Uncle Li shook his head helplessly, "Okay, you also envy others, and individuals have their own lives." We're not going to die. ”
"Yes. Aunt Zhang felt sorry for herself, and then suddenly remembered that she still had something to do. He exclaimed, "Oh, I've got to go grocery shopping." I'm almost out of work. ”
After speaking, he said to Uncle Li, "I'll go first", and then hurriedly walked to the mouth of the alley.
After taking two steps, she didn't forget to remind: "Remember, take a detour." ”
Uncle Li San looked at the back of Aunt Zhang's departure, and then looked at the congested road section that had not been seen in front of him, and after thinking about it, he continued to move forward.
Men sometimes like to join in the fun. I want to go and see what happened to the Yun family putting the dowry at the door.
***
After walking forward for about half an hour, Uncle Li first saw the big eaves of Yunfu, and then saw the bustling circle of people in front of him.
In fact, the eaves of the Yun family are no different from the eaves of other houses, the height is the same. It's just that the official house, in the eyes of the common people, is always invisibly taller than others.
He didn't see the box with the dowry, because it was all surrounded.
Uncle Li San carried the burden, and it was not easy to squeeze on. I had to put the burden on my shoulders under one roof, and then I walked into the crowd alone.
There are people who know Uncle Li and also take the initiative to greet him. "The third uncle came back early today!"
"Uh-huh. Third Uncle Li snorted casually, which was an answer. Pointing to the boxes in the crowd, he asked, "What's going on, why don't you bring it in?"
The person who greeted looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and whispered: "I said that the third uncle, don't say it." I heard that this is a close relationship with the family to mention Miss Yun, but the Yun family doesn't seem to agree to this marriage, so they hang the dowry here. ”
Miss Yun, this name is known to everyone in Chang'an City.
It is the grandson of the Yun family who has been married twice and has not been married, and can neither live long nor have children.
Could it be that the brain is rusty, and such a woman also comes to ask for marriage?
This cloud is also true, it would be good if someone wanted it, why didn't they want to get married?
The man continued to lower his voice and said, "I heard that people want this Miss Yun to be a concubine, so the Yun family disagrees. ”
Third Uncle Li suddenly realized that he was going to be a concubine! No wonder he was willing to marry.
This Yun Qianhua is also arrogant, and would rather not marry than be a concubine.
"How do you know?" Third Uncle Li wondered, is this news reliable?
He didn't realize that this news was reliable or unreliable, and it was none of his business.
The man said firmly: "Reliable, a friend of mine, who is on an errand in this cloud mansion, told me personally." ”
Third Uncle Li said a few more oh oh oh There are also a few middle-aged men in uniform coarse linen clothes leaning against the wall, chatting with each other boringly. It should be the family member who carries Eli Lilly.
As he was watching, two figures came out of the gate. A middle-aged man, slightly hooked back, a fat woman.
As she walked, the woman looked back at the man behind her, as if she was saying something, far away, and couldn't really hear it. Looking at the scene, the woman was not willing to go, but was driven away by the man behind her.
The figures drew closer and closer, and it was not until they were out of the gate that they could hear what they were saying.
The woman said: "I said Steward Yun, you persuade Lord Yun again, that Hefu is a first-class member, and Miss Yun will enjoy endless glory and wealth when she marries." And the two families are officials in the same dynasty, and they are the right people. If you miss this village, you won't have this shop......"
"Alright. "Steward Yun is one head and two big, this woman is too good to speak, he had to interrupt her. "I said this matchmaker, how can you say that the matchmaker is like this. Before they said yes, you came to the door with a dowry, what is the difference between you and forced marriage. ”
Everyone was in an uproar, it turned out that the pro had not yet been promised, so he was hired!
This kind of thing can only be done by a landlord who forcibly marries a girl from a poor family.
Isn't it just forced marriage!
The woman's face was red and white for a while, but she had to bite the bullet and say: "How can this be a forced marriage! This is just to show the importance that the He family attaches to the Yun family! Look, there are twenty boxes of dowry gifts!"
What about twenty boxes, it's not like I'm going to be a concubine.
