Chapter 271: Too old
This village is not small, and if you look at it roughly, there are about 100 households. Most of the houses in the village are made of yellow mud and stone, because they are on the outskirts of the city, not more remote than other state towns, so relatively speaking, the yards of each family are not very large.
Several people looked straight at the second house in the village, wanting to see if they could see anyone.
It's just that Shouxin swept it casually, and what attracted her even more was a very large mansion in the innermost part of the village, which looked like a house made of blue bricks and red tiles, which was not at the same level as those low yellow mud and stone houses. Although it is also the structure of an ordinary house, it should be a small landlord's house at first glance.
Shouxin quickly withdrew his gaze, not knowing how he was attracted by a small landlord's mansion today.
As he spoke, he was not far from the second house in the village, the courtyard wall was also made of stone, the wooden door was only half a person high, the yard was cleaned quite clean, and a few chickens were free-range, pecking something on the ground to eat. There were no other animals.
Gu Yishan's mother looked inside for a while, and couldn't help frowning: "This person doesn't come out, what do we think of each other?" This is secretly, it is not necessary that people are not at home, they have no experience, but they want to see how their family is doing, but now they are in front of the door, but they don't know how to look at each other.
Several people faced each other, and none of them had a way.
Gu Yishan's mother doesn't look at her age, and she looks forward to her daughter-in-law, but she has never done this after all. I was only excited to inquire about the situation of this family and the girl's appearance. Shouxin and Fu Mingyu are from modern times, and they don't understand this kind of thing. Especially Gu Yishan, except for medical skills, he doesn't understand anything.
"What to do? Grandma, didn't the flower matchmaker say anything before you came? ”
"Having said that, she said that people let me just look at each other, and this girl will definitely satisfy me." Gu Yishan's mother's words immediately made several people speechless, isn't this not that they didn't teach how to look at each other?
To say, it's not to blame the matchmaker, who would have thought that these people who seem to have very good brains won't even know this.
"If it really doesn't work, let's pretend to ask for directions?" Shouxin thought about it, and thought of such a way.
"If you ask for directions, ask the first one!" Fu Mingyu shrugged, if he gave up the first one and asked the second one instead, it would be a little suspicious in itself.
A few people glanced at the first one again, and his family happened to have someone drying clothes in the yard!
"What then?" It's okay to keep your heart again.
Several people regretted it a little, this mighty coming, why didn't anyone have an idea?
They looked at each other for a while, and then said again: "It's better to go in and spread it out, and say that you are here to see each other." Shouxin thought that in modern times, don't those blind dates or something directly ask about the conditions or something!
"How's that going to work? It's too disrespectful to other girls. "Gu Yishan's mother and son are both opposed, in this era, they are looking at each other clearly, and they can't be too clear, they are all looking for an excuse or something, in a crowded place, let both men and women pretend to look at each other casually.
But in that case, I can't actually see anything, otherwise there wouldn't be the kind of situation where I obviously looked at each other, but it was still a lame man marrying a pockmark.
"Ouch, what are you doing here?" The flower matchmaker drank a pot of tea, and as soon as she lifted the curtain of the carriage, she saw several people standing here, without any action at all! She couldn't help it, and ran over to ask after a few steps.
"Ahem, that flower woman, what do you think of this? I don't know if the girl is at home or not, so we can't go in rashly, right? ”
The flower matchmaker was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then glanced at a few people with disdain. "I really don't know what to say about a few of you, you can go and ask other people in the village about the temperament of this family, and a few copper plates will be enough. Then he went in the door to beg for a drink, and looked at the girl's appearance...... "Actually, this is the method that everyone is used to, even if it is not used as it is, it is similar."
But these few in front of me are particularly nervous, and I didn't expect it.
"Hey, I know this time, let's go." Gu Yishan's mother answered, planning to go to their house to beg for saliva first. But before the matchmaker could walk away, the door of the house opened, and a middle-aged woman came out, dressed in white-washed indigo clothes, with sallow skin and wrinkles. With a basin in her hand, she splashed water in the yard, and she saw the matchmaker who was about to go back.
The flower matchmaker said in her heart how to save her, and hurriedly pretended not to know and walked to the carriage.
"Flower matchmaker, you wait." The man didn't intend to let the flower matchmaker go away like this, and hurriedly shouted. And her eyes were burning, and she could only see one of the flower matchmakers, and when she chased them out of the yard, she grabbed the flower matchmaker's arm. "Flower matchmaker, why don't you come to our village to go in and sit, hurry, come in."
When the flower matchmaker saw it, she couldn't hide it now, and glanced at Gu Yishan's mother, but fortunately she didn't hide it. "Hehe, didn't you bring a noble person to you!"
"Noble?" The matchmaker pointed to it, and the woman saw a few people guarding her heart.
As soon as he saw Shouxin and Fu Mingyu again, his eyes suddenly lit up. "This, this is?"
"Oh, since you've seen us, there's nothing you can do. These people want to come and see your girls. ”
"Good, good!" It can be seen that the woman is also in a hurry to marry her daughter, she said hello three times in a row, and smiled at Shouxin a few times. Then he lowered his voice and asked the flower matchmaker: "Which son is it?" I think that boy is much smaller than the eldest girl in our family, could it be another one? ”
She glanced with her eyes and communicated with the flower matchmaker. Obviously, the son who is too young is guarding his heart, and the other is Fu Mingyu. But I just didn't think about Gu Yishan!
The matchmaker's face changed a few times, but she didn't show too much, after all, she didn't know that she had heard their conversation. Even Gu Yishan and Fu Mingyu heard a few words, and Gu Yishan's face was a little unsightly.
The matchmaker turned around and smiled, and pulled the woman to a few steps farther away, before she stopped and whispered, "No, it's the son."
"Who?" The woman didn't see any more sons anywhere.
"The one in the gray robe."
"What? Are you talking about the old man? The woman obviously didn't believe it, and looked at Gu Yishan, although she thought that she looked good, dressed well, and had a good temperament. But she didn't think about marrying her daughter to someone that old. "Flower matchmaker, didn't I say it at the time? I don't let my daughter be a concubine, and I don't fill the house. "
"The Zhang family, the old man has never married a wife, and I heard the old lady of their family say that it was the early years of learning medical skills that delayed it. Although he is not young, he has a solid family! There was a big mansion in that imperial city, and there were people at home to serve him. Your girl married to be a young grandmother. ”
"But, but it doesn't look too young at this age." This condition is very satisfactory to the women of the Zhang family, but they also feel sorry for their daughter, and they don't want their daughter to marry someone who is too old.
"It's not big, it's only about forty!"
"Isn't that big? can be our eldest girl's father, this ...... No, no, no! ”
"Why not? Do you still want to marry a daughter-in-law? "The flower matchmaker looked at her and felt that the woman of this Zhang family still couldn't recognize the reality." Not to mention the eldest son of your family, even if this girl is delayed, she will not be able to find such a thing. ”
When these words came out, Shouxin's face became even more ugly, and Gu Yishan's mother couldn't hear anything, just waited for the two of them with a puzzled face.
No matter what the flower matchmaker said, Gu Yishan didn't do it. "Mother, let's go back!"
"How do you say that you will go back when you go back? This girl hasn't seen each other yet! ”
"Don't look at it, this mother looks like this, and the girl is also ugly, don't look at it." Gu Yishan said that he walked to the carriage, and he was not willing to wait for a moment. Thinking that he is a dignified doctor, when did he end up being disgusted by the family?
I think that if the news is released at this time, saying that he Gu Yishan wants to marry a daughter-in-law, then many people will definitely send it to the door. Not to mention the dowry, even if it is upside down, they can also grab their heads.
But Gu Yishan didn't want a daughter-in-law like that, that kind of woman must have been sent by those who asked for him, and there would be countless troubles in the future, so it was better to marry a woman casually, even if it was an ordinary country woman. But Gu Yishan had just mustered up the courage to look at each other, and was hit by this Zhang familywoman.
"Well, what's the way out?" Hua Pozi also saw the situation here and hurriedly ran over.
Gu Yishan's mother took out the money with an apologetic face, and as soon as she made a move, it was a silver ingot, she smiled helplessly, and apologized to the flower matchmaker: "Flower woman, my son is stubborn." Suddenly we looked at each other impatiently, and alas, we will go back. This amount of money was compensated at the time. ”
"This, how can this ......" Hua Pozi couldn't figure out the reason, and she was still in a trance with the silver. She also went to Gufu to get a reward before, but it didn't work out, all she took was something, this silver was the first time, I didn't expect it to be so much. You must know that ordinary people's families, such a silver ingot can handle the marriage, and the money promised to the matchmaker is only a few hundred copper coins. Even the people in the imperial city are generally one or two taels of silver. No matter how big a family is, it won't be the turn of the flower matchmaker to come to the door.
They had no choice but to follow back to the carriage and the group went back. As soon as I left the village, I saw a group of people riding horses over their shoulders. Shouxin was a little puzzled, there are still people in this village who can ride horses? Not to mention that horses are very expensive, even this landlord's family only raises two inferior horses to pull the carriage. But just now, there were more than a dozen people in this team, and although they were ordinary people's clothes, they didn't look like ordinary people.
Shouxin couldn't help but lift the curtain of the carriage and look back, only to see that this group of people went straight to the innermost house in the village.
"What's wrong" Fu Mingyu saw that he looked at the team for a while, and couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing." Shouxin pressed the doubts in his heart and got back into the carriage.
Gu Yishan's mother was nagging: "What's the matter with you? I finally agreed to come out to see other girls, but I left before I saw anyone, alas! She couldn't help but sigh again and again, as if she was watching her daughter-in-law fly away!
"Mother, didn't I say that!" Gu Yishan's face was still not good, but his expression was still very gentle towards his mother.
"Hmph, what's the reason for that, can I believe it?"
