Chapter 210: Oolong
Mrs. Liu hurriedly asked if it was the young lady of that family, and she was also thinking in her heart, thinking about the high-ranking people in the town.
After asking clearly, she was stunned, it turned out to be the daughter of a Zhuangzi master's family, this is not a joke! Then she asked if she was a concubine, and the other party said no, and then asked if she was a flat wife, and the other party said that she was a wife.
She was incredible, and felt that she must have made a mistake, someone must have teased her, pretending to be someone from the Zhenguo family.
In the end, she met Zhen Guogong to know that the matter was true, although she was very puzzled and in a trance, but she was also busy and said that she would definitely get things done.
When she arrived at Wang's house, she congratulated her repeatedly, with jealousy and envy in her words, what an ordinary family, what kind of incense did their ancestors burn, why did they encounter such a good thing, how good it would be if it was their own daughter.
The Wang family heard her intentions and smiled again and again, in fact, they knew it in their hearts, but they had to ask and talk.
Zhou asked Chen Xuanyu about his situation clearly.
The matchmaker was not ambiguous, and the steward of Zhenguo Gong had already told her all this when she came, she said it, and then asked Qiaozhen's name, surname and situation.
After this trip was completed, the matchmaker went back to hand over the business, this is just a letter, just ask about the situation, and then agree that the morning after tomorrow, the prince of Zhenguo will come to the Wang family to officially come to the door to propose.
The Wang family responded with a smile, and said that he would definitely prepare well to welcome the prince of Zhenguo.
After the matchmaker left, the Wang family held a meeting, and the business of the shop was handed over to the person who invited him to take care of it in the past few days, and Dazhong did not have a stall. The people of the Wang family worked together to clean up the inside and outside of the house, and the corners were also cleaned, and Qiaozhen also had to be cleaned, for fear that people would dislike them.
In addition, the new clothes were also taken out and washed and dried, and they were easy to wear that day, and they bought wine, tea and snacks to entertain people.
It's the first day. Early in the morning, the Wang family went to buy meat and vegetables to prepare, and they had to keep people for dinner at noon.
Wang's house was cleaned inside and outside, and everyone wore new clothes, although it was not a good material, but it also gave people a sense of importance, Zhou pulled Wang Changshun to wash his face several times, for fear that there would be no way to make people find fault with themselves.
Qiaozhen also came here, and she mainly arranged the dishes. She can't come forward today, she can only hide behind her back.
Not long after, a carriage came from outside and stopped at the door of Wang's house. The matchmaker got out of the car first. In this carriage sat the steward and her, and the carriage behind was the prince of Zhenguo.
Qiao Zhen listened to the voice outside, and panicked a little, although she had already said it, but when it came to the matter, she still couldn't be particularly stable. I'm afraid of some accidents.
She knew that the proposal must be in the morning, which means that it is prosperous, and if it is unlucky in the afternoon, if nothing else, the woman will not agree.
Zhen Guogong got out of the carriage. has been looking, the Wang family is an ordinary family in Zhuangzi's house. It's not outstanding, but it's not a chilling either.
He entered the yard, the yard was very clean and neat, it should have been cleaned up, which showed that the other party attached great importance to him, and Zhen Guogong nodded with satisfaction.
Looking at the people who came forward to salute, he shouted, there is no way, although he is here to propose, but he has a title on him, which is saintly, and they must first salute themselves.
Wang Changshun and Zhou let people into the house, invited them to the upper seat, and then they stood next to them, their hearts were a little flustered, and they were all very restrained, this official was too big, they were timid from the heart, they really didn't deal with it, and they didn't know what to do.
"Sit down." Zhen Guogong pointed to the stool, and now looked at him as if he was the master.
"Hey, hey, you sit, let's stand in the middle." Wang Changshun felt that his legs and stomachs were turning straight to the tendons, for fear that he would say something wrong and make the other party dissatisfied.
How could Zhen Guogong not see their restraints, he knew that this was an ordinary Zhuang family, really, there was nothing to say, the only thing that was not ordinary was their daughter.
"The big gift has been done outside, and now we have to discuss the child's family affairs, and you make it difficult for me to speak." Zhen Guogong tried to make himself appear kind.
"Oh, I'll sit down. Sit. Wang Changshun quickly sat down when he heard this, but his ass was a little uncomfortable.
Zhou also sat down, but it was just as uncomfortable, she felt as if there was a needle hidden under her buttocks, and she was uncomfortable.
"Matchmaker Liu has already told you about the situation last time, right?" Zhenguo Gong had to take the initiative.
"It's clear, it's clear. It's all made clear. Wang Changshun nodded again and again.
"Then do you still like this family business? But what's not to like. Zhen Guogong asked.
"I like it, how can I not like it, there is nothing dissatisfied, we are all willing." Wang Changshun replied honestly.
"That's good, I don't know if there are any other requirements?" Zhen Guogong asked politely.
"It's nothing, you can do whatever you want. We don't ask for anything, we listen. Wang Changshun replied again and again, as long as the other party can agree, how can they ask for anything.
"Okay, that's it." Zhen Guogong nodded, he really didn't know what to say next, he couldn't sit still, and got up to leave.
Hearing that he was going to leave, the Wang family was dumbfounded, what does this mean.
"Let's stay for a light meal, it's ready for a long time." Wang Changshun stepped forward to stay.
"No, let's go back." Zhen Guogong refused, and everyone's faces changed color and looked at each other.
"You're really not going to stay for a light meal?" Zhou mustered up the courage to step forward and ask.
"Nope. Thank you for your kindness, next time. Zhen Guogong's polite refusal was really nothing to say.
Everyone was helpless, they couldn't force them to stay, they had to give it away, but their faces were not good-looking.
When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the matchmaker saw that Zhen Guogong was indeed leaving, and she was puzzled, and asked in a low voice: "Grandpa Guo, don't you agree to this marriage?" ”
"Agreed, why not?" Zhen Guogong didn't understand why she asked.
"Then why don't you stay for dinner?" The matchmaker was also puzzled.
"I'm afraid of causing them trouble, what? What's the point of this? "Zhen Guogong doesn't know much about this, he just thinks that everyone is uncomfortable when he stays.
"Of course, it's a big deal, if the man doesn't agree, he won't stay to eat, and staying to eat shows that the man likes it and wants to do this family business.
If the woman doesn't agree, then she won't prepare lunch, and if she doesn't prepare lunch, that is, if the woman doesn't want to, there will be no play, and the man will have to take the initiative to leave, and there will be no need to mention it in the future. Now that you agree to this family business and don't stay for dinner, this, what kind of attention is this? "The matchmaker doesn't understand.
The matchmaker's words spoke out of the Wang family's heart, they nodded again and again, looking at the matchmaker gratefully, she said it for them, what does Zhen Guogong mean by this.
Zhen Guogong was speechless, he really didn't know such rules, he knew the rules of the man's door-to-door proposal, so he came in person to show his attention, but he didn't understand the rules of keeping food, and he didn't know what to say.
"I really didn't know that there was such a thing, and there were other rules?" Zhen Guogong hurriedly asked, afraid that he would make another joke.
"It's nothing else, if you want to eat a good meal, set a day and let the woman come to the door to see, if you like, the man will keep the meal at home, by the way, you must make a small ramen for the meal, this is to pull the two children together, eat the small ramen are happy, the two children will have a play."
After that, it's time to give a bride price, you can agree on what day to get married, in short, you have to run, we are matchmakers, don't run a few pairs of shoes, how can it be so easy to get married. The matchmaker explained the rules simply.
"Oh. Okay, got it, it's a matter of sending you a few pairs of shoes to wear. Zhen Guogong laughed, and the matchmaker hurriedly thanked him.
Zhen Guogong turned back again, although it was a little embarrassing, but it couldn't be rude. He looked at the Wang family in front of him, and they also had embarrassed looks on their faces, obviously what they did just now made them quite helpless.
"Speaking of eating, I don't know what kind of food I made at noon, last time your daughter showed her hand, I want to eat now, maybe stay for dinner?" Zhen Guogong said it hard, and the words turned a little stiff, but he couldn't, let him be like this, he would rather go into battle and kill the enemy.
"Yes, yes, please come inside, this lunch can be prepared, you don't dislike it, we are happy." Wang Changshun hurriedly invited someone inside, and his face smiled again, and everyone in the Wang family sighed, fortunately, people came back again, otherwise it would be a joke today.
Qiao Zhen listened to it in the house and it was funny, and the feelings made such an oolong, but people didn't mean it, and it was no wonder that people, mainly because they were not familiar with each other, there was nothing to say, and maybe the rules of the capital were different from here, and it was normal to not know.
Qiao Zhen opened the food and asked people to talk to his father, let him be natural, don't be too restrained, otherwise he will be uncomfortable.
Lunch is very rich, although the fish is not very good, but it is also fish, Qiaozhen made braised meat, and the meat was prepared with several things, braised pork, Sichuan white meat, square meat, crispy meat. There are also chickens raised by their own family, and they killed one and made spicy chicken nuggets.
There is also a red stewed mutton, beef in sauce, and a few fresh vegetarian dishes, a big table, and a jar of old wine.
Zhen Guogong looked at the dish and nodded, the other party was sincere, the preparation was hearty, this meat looked at the hunger, it may have been prepared by the woman, which suited his own heart. As for the vegetarian dishes, Zhen Guogong automatically ignored them.
"Okay, okay, there's still wine, let's have a good time today." Zhen Guogong and Wang Changshun chatted for a while, knowing that the other party was an honest person, and he didn't have anything to pick, and his voice was higher.
The man began to drink and eat at this table, a big mouthful of meat, a big bowl of wine, a few glasses of wine, Wang Changshun let go a lot, and he was not so restrained when talking to Zhen Guogong, and he also guessed the fist with the other party.
