Since Yao Su agreed to help, Shumin's heart suddenly felt a lot easier, but he still asked Zhengjian to continue to pay attention to finding the right material, just in case, after all, it is a fair fate for someone to help lucky, and no one to help. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"May I ask if this is Mrs. Qin's house?" Outside the door was a chubby woman, dressed in a bright peach-colored flower dress, with a large pink silk flower on her head, and a green silk handkerchief in her hand, which was both unmatched and tacky. What's even more uncomfortable is that her face is still coated with a thick layer of low-quality fat powder, and when she smiles, the fat powder falls down.

Zhengjian saw that there was a guest coming to the door, and hurriedly said goodbye.

"Is there something wrong?" I have the impression that Shumin is sure that she doesn't know this woman.

"Happy event, Mrs. Qin, there is a great happy event." Mrs. Wen walked into the Min Yuan uninvited, and her eyes turned to look at it non-stop, thinking that this Min Yuan is really beautiful, and she has also done a lot of matchmaking, but none of them can compare with this Min Yuan.

"I'm a well-known matchmaker in ten miles and eight towns, and I came to the door today to say that the matchmaker came."

"You're on the wrong track, aren't you?" Hearing that it was a matchmaker, Shumin sweated for a moment, and said curtly, "There is no matchmaker here." ”

Mrs. Wen sat opposite Shumin, looking at her with a smile, and she was uncomfortable for a while.

"I, I asked the wife of Li Lizheng's family in Liuxi Village to talk to Mrs. Qin, the third son of his family, Li Boren, I heard that Mrs. Qin has seen it, and she looks like a talent. Although this Liuxi Village is not as good as Baili Village, it is not bad, there is something to Mrs. Qin, your maiden family, this is a rare good marriage! ”

As soon as Mrs. Wen sat down, no one served tea for a long time, and she felt a little apprehensive in her heart, but in the face of the legendary Mrs. Qin, she still smiled all over her face, and did not show a trace of displeasure.

Besides, the mother-in-law of the Li family is okay with her, if this family affair is completed, give her a reward of two taels of silver.

She runs errands in the countryside on weekdays, and even if she says it, it will only cost a few hundred dollars, and she doesn't dare to be dissatisfied with the two taels of silver.

Liu Er was in the house, and when she heard that the guests in the courtyard were coming, she got up to make tea, but as soon as she got up, she heard that the man called himself a matchmaker, or told her that she was coming in person, and she stood behind the door with a pair of feet, and could no longer move.

"Li Boren?" Shumin tried his best to recall, remembering a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man he saw when he went to Uncle Li's house during the Chinese New Year. It's pretty good, and it's a talent in the countryside.

But Shumin remembered that as soon as he saw Liu Er at that time, he stared at her with a pair of eyes, although it was not like the prodigal son of Dengtu, but it was more uncomfortable than the prodigal son of Dengtu.

However, because of Uncle Li's face, she didn't have a good seizure, after all, her little life was saved by Uncle Li.

"It's not that Li Boren." Mrs. Wen smiled, and as she smiled, the fat peeled off her face. "The Li family is very sincere in marrying this family, you see this silver hairpin, the weight is not light!"

She took out a silver hairpin from her sleeve that was very good in both workmanship and texture and put it in front of Shumin. The silver hairpin is the thickness of a little finger, and it is worth more than a dozen taels of silver, which shows that Uncle Li really wants to marry this family business.

Uncle Li has a life-saving grace for her, aside from this, the conditions of the Li family are also very good in Liuxi Village. However, that Li Boren ...... I heard that he also had a conflict with Zhengxiu during the Lantern Festival and beat people.

"That..... Mrs. Wen, please go back and tell me Uncle Li, Liu Er is still too young now, I want to talk about it in a year or two. Shumin pushed the hairpin back.

Liu Er listened to their conversation behind the door, and when she heard that it was Li Boren, who scared her, she was scared, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat, for fear that Shumin would agree. At this moment, hearing Shumin's refusal, her heart fell back to its original place.

"Mrs. Qin, Miss Liu'er is twelve, which of these country girls is not talking about kissing at this time, let alone twelve, even if someone is seven or eight years old, you let me reply to her like this, I can't explain it!" As soon as Mrs. Wen heard Shumin's refusal, she immediately became anxious. Didn't you say that the relationship between the two families was good, and this family affair was nine out of ten?

"I'm sorry Mrs. Wen, I hurt you in a white robe, Liu Er is my adopted child, I have only been in Minyuan for a few months, I want to keep her for one more year, it is not appropriate to talk about this family matter now, you tell me Uncle Li, I will personally go to her house to make amends to her another day." Although she could hear that Shumin was prevaricating, what she said was also the truth. I just adopted someone, and I can't wait to say goodbye to her after only a few months, and it's really not good to spread it.

But seeing that the two taels of silver were flying, Mrs. Wen was still a little unwilling, "Mrs. Qin won't think about it anymore?" The Li family is also a big family in this neighborhood, but there is no such shop in this village. It's right to keep a few more children, but once you haven't decided on a marriage after fourteen, it's hard to say in the future. ”

"Thank you for reminding me, but Liu'er's family affairs have to be slow, I'm just her aunt, and I still have to ask her opinion on this matter." Shumin said

"Hey, this is a matter of elders, you adopted her, no matter what you call it, you have the final say, I have never heard of letting the girl make her own decisions. Mrs. Qin, didn't you deliberately embarrass me? Do you have any other requests that you are embarrassed to ask? Tell me if it's okay, and I'll promise to go back and do it for you. "Mrs. Wen is not giving up, that's two taels of silver, two taels of silver. In her opinion, the conditions of the Li family are the best, although the conditions and status of the Shumin family are better, but isn't that an adopted daughter.

"Mrs. Wen, you're joking, what kind of friendship does Uncle Li have with me, and I am very satisfied with the Li family. But Liu'er is really too small, let me think about it again. ”

The conditions of the Li family naturally have nothing to say, it is so good that it is the Lizheng family, although his family is not like Zhang Lizheng's family is a scholarly family, but it can be ranked in these ten miles and eight townships, but Li Boren's attitude towards Liu Er is too paranoid, which is not a good thing.

Shumin's last sentence seemed to be a little relieved, but in fact he was refusing, after all, Li Boren was already sixteen, Liu Er could afford to wait, he couldn't afford to wait.

I believe that Shumin's meaning will be transmitted back to Liuxi Village, and Uncle Li will have to arrange other family affairs for him.

"Okay, think about it again, think about it, I'll come back another day and ask." Mrs. Wen still refuses to give up, she really can't understand such a good family affair, why should Shumin refuse? Could it be that she still wants to match her adopted daughter with a royal relative.

Mrs. Wen twisted her fat waist and walked away unhappily, Shumin sighed, thinking: I have a girl in my family who has just grown up, I'm afraid that I will be annoyed in the future.

"Come out." As soon as Mrs. Wen left, Shumin said to Liu'er, who was hiding behind the door. Liu Er walked out embarrassed, her head lowered, her face was red, but she was by no means shy, but nervous.

"You heard what you said just now, and it is estimated that there will be more matchmakers coming to the door in the future, what do you like, tell your aunt, and my aunt has a good number in her heart." Shumin took her little hand and quipped.

"Auntie!" Liu Er's face was really red because of shyness at this moment.

"Hehehehe......" Looking at Liu Er's persimmon-like face, Shumin suddenly had an urge to spoof her in his heart, "That Li Boren looks good, if you don't have a special favorite, then my aunt will make the decision to marry you to him, after all, the conditions of the Li family are good." ”

"Ah, auntie, don't." When Liu Er heard this, her face immediately turned white, and when she saw Shu Min's expression of watching a play, she knew that she was being tricked, so she pulled her little hand, stomped on Shu Min and ran into the house.

"Hahaha......" Shumin laughed out loud when she saw her reaction.

After laughing, he sighed again: Uncle Li's family is either straightforward or simple, how could they raise such a paranoid temperament as Li Boren?

After four or five days, Yao Su finally asked someone to bring the news, saying that he had found the material that Shumin wanted. Shu Min hurriedly rushed to the Drunken Wind Building.

It was a small sample, it felt like oiled paper but thinner than oiled paper, and the permeability was better, although the price was more expensive than oiled paper, but Shumin could still accept it, and its toughness was also better than oiled paper, and if it was used properly, it might be able to continue to use it next year.

"This is called Ming paper, which is used by the people of Yan in the north to paste the windows. They don't keep it secret, so we only buy it from them. Yao Su looked at her sparkling eyes and knew that she was satisfied with it.

"Well, this is no problem, but I want a hundred acres, does the merchant you know have a lot of goods?" Shumin was still worried about the supply of goods, and if it wasn't enough, she had to use oiled paper instead.

"I talked to him, it will take some time for him to stock up, and it will be delivered in about half a month." Yao Su expected that she would like it early on, so she ordered it early, and she could ship it over when the goods were ready. He himself was a transporter, and it didn't take much time to transport it from the north.

Half a month? The timing was just right. Finally solved the important matter in his heart, Shumin was in a very good mood.

"Master Yao, you have done me a great favor, how can I thank you?"

"You and I are now in a cooperative relationship, and a little help is nothing to worry about." Yao Su looked at her pulling the clear paper, looking like she couldn't put it down, and a trace of relief flashed in her eyes.

"Originally, I was going to invite you to dinner, but since you don't ask for anything in return, then forget it." Shumin gladly accepted his humility.

Yao Su "......"

Since she rejected the Li family's proposal, Wen Matchmaker came to the door twice, and the last time Li Boniang also came, she took Shumin's hand and chatted with her for a long time, which roughly means that Boren likes Liu'er very much, and if she is not Liu'er, she will not marry, and she is also very sincere to marry her.

Shumin had no choice but to inform her about Li Boren's beating of Zhengxiu during the Lantern Festival, and told Li Boniang about her worries.

Li Boniang is a general and reasonable person, and she was silent after listening. How could she not understand her children? But what should I tell him when I go back? Shumin is right, he is really too paranoid in some things, and it is understandable that Liu Er is afraid of such a character.

Li Boren has been depressed for a long time since he knew that Liu Er was unwilling to marry him, and Li Boniang was still a little worried at first, but seeing that he was gloomy, everything else was the same as usual, so he didn't take it to heart, believing that time could slowly dilute everything.

Ten thousand hanging down the green silk, the spring breeze in February is like scissors. By February, everything had begun to recover, the ground and trees were green, and the air was filled with the smell of spring.

The paper was finally transported from the north, and Shumin also borrowed a tofu workshop to germinate seeds from a hundred acres of land overnight, and transported them to the test field in an ox cart.

It was raining lightly that day, and Shu Min put on a cloak and worked with Chu Feng to distribute the seeds of a hundred acres of land, so that everyone could quickly sprinkle the seeds into the ground on a rainy day.

One hundred acres was already a big project for these four or five people, who withstood the rain and endured the biting cold of February, took off their shoes and socks, stepped into the muddy fields, and sprinkled them evenly into the fertile soil one after another.

The men were all in the fields, and Shumin was not idle, she raised a stove outside the grass hut where Zhengshun and the others lived, boiled a large pot of ginger soup, and boiled a large pot of hot water, so that when they came back from work, they could warm their bodies, so as not to freeze.

But it doesn't seem to be early in the day, and the rain also has a tendency to get heavier and heavier, and after sowing the seeds, you have to spread the clear paper on the bamboo strips that have been propped up in advance to keep warm, otherwise the sprinkled seeds will still freeze to death.

"There are not enough people, I knew I should bring a few more people from the village." Shu Min felt a little remorseful in his heart, Chu Feng had already gone down to help, but he had no experience in farming, so he could only help pull the paper in the back. If it really doesn't work, you can only cover the paper first, and the remaining seeds can only be scrapped.

"Madam Qin!"

A carriage was parked far away beside the grass, and the curtain on the carriage was lifted, and a man dressed in great flamboyance came out, and as soon as he came out, someone immediately cheered up his umbrella.

"Master Yao, why are you here?" Shu Min was surprised, stood under the grass hut, and shook his hand at him.

Yao Su didn't answer, he kept moving forward in the rain, the road in the rain was a little muddy, but there was only a little muddy water on his feet, I really don't know how he walked.

"Mrs. Qin's words don't count, if I hadn't gone to Baili Village, I wouldn't have known that Madame was here." Yao Su's tone was a little bad, blaming her for not fulfilling her promise to wait for him to come to see the test field.

"Master Yao, in today's weather, how can I be embarrassed to let you come with me. Wouldn't it be a sin for me to fall ill in the rain and get drenched? Shu Min knew that he was joking, and he didn't really give her a face, so he said playfully.

Yao Su was speechless, her eyes fell on her wet cloak, and her brows frowned slightly, "Do you know that the weather is bad and you don't bring rain gear?" ”

"Huh...... We have rough skin and thick meat, so we don't pay so much attention to it. "She's here to do things, how to do things with an umbrella? There is a hat, but from time to time bending down, the hat can only protect the head from getting wet, and the hat is very heavy, falling down from time to time, Shumin simply threw it aside, anyway, her cloak has a hat.

Although the grass house is simple, there is everything in it, after all, four or five people live in it, and it will take a few months to live, Shumin moved a stool out and made him a bowl of tea.

The tea is coarse, soaked in a rough bowl, and in such weather, under the thatched hut under the rain, it tastes unique.

"Take it off." Yao Su really couldn't see her soaking wet, and said.

"Huh?" Shu Min saw that his tone suddenly became arrogant, and he froze.

"Take off your wet cloak and let Ah Fu take it to the carriage and roast it for you." Yao Su said, his tone softened a little. His carriage was equipped with a heater.

"No need, I'll send them ginger soup later. Clothes will still get wet. "In this kind of weather, if you don't drink some ginger soup in the rain, even an adult man can't stay up. Shumin added some firewood to the stove and lifted the pot to see if the ginger tea was boiling.

Yao Su's brows furrowed even deeper, and he finally understood why she was still wet in the grass house, and she had sent ginger tea more than once.

Thinking about her, a woman, carrying a bucket of ginger tea, sending them one by one in the rain, and returning to the grass house to continue boiling water after they finished drinking, his heart felt a little pity.

"Ah Fu." He didn't like the feeling in his heart very much, so he called Ah Fu, Ah Fu understood, stepped forward to take over the work in Shumin's hand, helped her scoop the ginger tea into the container on the side, and ran out in the rain.

"Ah Fu, ...... you" Shu Min didn't expect Ah Fu to run out without even bringing rain gear, she was dumbfounded, and she was about to chase her out with a hat, but was pulled by Yao Su.

"Let him go, it's fine. Take off your cloak, you don't need to send ginger tea. ”

Shumin was pulled by him, a little embarrassed.

I have the impression that although she has met him a few times, he seems to belong to the kind of man who is very gentlemanly, and he elegantly keeps a certain distance from anyone, which does not make people feel rejected by thousands of miles, nor does it make people feel abrupt.

"Okay." Shumin raised his hand, only to realize that he was still dragging someone, coughing lightly to hide his embarrassment. (To be continued.) )
