"I don't know what's the matter with Miss Song? Isn't there a problem with water chestnut weaving? ”

"No, since the last time I asked you, the water chestnut weaving has been going well. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info I'm here this time because I want to ask for your help. ”

Yang Jian didn't expect it to be a private matter, and was stunned for a moment before saying: "Miss Song, but it doesn't matter, as long as you can help, you must go all out." ”

Song Chunniang thanked her before telling the story of Meng Tan and Song Qiuniang: "...... Previously, I also inquired about Meng Gongzi's situation from my maternal grandfather and grandmother, and I felt that I was a good match for my third sister, so I dared to come here and ask Yang Gongzi for help. ”

Yang Jian smiled: "Since the dean and the dean's wife agree, it is a good match." Meng Tan and I are roommates again, such a good thing is naturally a knife in both sides, Miss Song can rest assured, I will pick a good time to say it. ”

Song Chunniang didn't expect him to be so easy to speak, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Then thank you so much." ”

"Miss Song San, it's a blessing to have such a good sister as you." Yang Jian sighed.

Song Chunniang remembered the family background he had mentioned before, and couldn't help but feel sympathy again: "Yang Gongzi is studying so well, he is in high school, and his family must be very happy." ”

"Well, a few people are happy and a few people are sad."

"Lingzun will be happy for you."

Yang Jian finally showed a sincere smile on his face: "My father will happily go to the ancestral grave to burn incense." After all, no one in our county has been lifted. ”

"Oh, where is Yang Gongzi's house?"

"Meizhou Rong County."

Rong County is not rich in water chestnuts, no wonder he is so concerned.

"It turned out to be Rong County, and recently our cloth village has purchased a lot of water chestnuts there."

Yang Jian nodded, "I heard from my family, thanks to your cloth village, the villagers have more income." ”

Song Chunniang said with a smile: "Where is our credit, it is obviously Yang Gongzi's idea, I have to talk to the people of Rong County when I go back, so that they can also know your contribution." ”

"I'm just talking on paper, it's your cloth village that promotes it. I want to thank you. ”

Song Chunniang smiled: "We have half of the credit." ”

Yang Jian also smiled, no longer shirking the credit, "If you are free, you can go to Rong County to walk around, although it is not as prosperous as Yuncheng, but the folk customs are simple, the scenery is pleasant, it is a good place for leisure." ”

Song Chunniang nodded and responded: "Okay, I'll definitely take the time to take a look, and then I'll talk about Yang Gongzi." ”

"No problem." Yang Jian readily agreed.

Yang Jian acted very quickly, and within a few days, Meng's mother arrived at the matchmaker's door to propose marriage.

Mrs. Song was very surprised, Song Qiuniang was the most inconspicuous among the sisters, and no one cared about other girls, so why did she come out on top.

But after thinking about it again, the Meng family is not a good family, if they come to ask to marry Song Dongniang, they are not happy.

Thinking like this, I balanced my heart a lot, packed up my appearance and walked to the hall to meet the guests.

"Hello, Mrs. Song." When Meng Mu saw Mrs. Song coming, she stood up and bowed her head slightly to say hello.

Mrs. Song greeted Meng Mu and looked at her carefully. I saw that she was dressed plainly, and she didn't have any jewelry on her body, but her clothes were straight and her hair was meticulously combed, but she looked very refreshing. It can be seen that although the Meng family does not have much money, it is a strong housewife. But when you think about it, it's understandable that orphans and widows, if they weren't strong, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to hold it for a long time.

Meng Mu said a few polite words and directly explained her intentions, and a matchmaker echoed beside her, saying that Meng Tan and Song Qiuniang made a pair of pairs.

Mrs. Song responded politely, but this matter is not something she can call the shots alone, she only said that she would make a decision after clarifying Mrs. Song and Master Song.

Meng Mu didn't put her beak too much, put down the gift and went back.

When they got home, the twins were waiting early, and when they saw their mother coming back, they came forward and asked about the results.

Mother Meng took the two children off her body, and said indifferently: "My mother doesn't know the result, and the Song family also said that they should consider it." ”

The twins' faces drooped: "Why didn't you agree?" Sister Qiu and eldest brother are so compatible. ”

Meng's mother said while cleaning up the leftovers of the twins on the table: "My daughter's family is expensive, and she always has to shirk it. Don't worry, your eldest brother is so good, it's a blessing for that girl to be able to marry. ”

Xiaoling is still a little worried: "Sister Qiu won't dislike our family for having no money, right?" ”

Meng Mu put the dishes and chopsticks down heavily, and reprimanded with a cold face: "How many times have I taught you?" Don't put money in your mouth all the time and look like those businessmen! Let me hear this kind of thing in the future, and see that I don't beat you! ”

Meng's mother has always done what she says, and Xiaoling was so frightened that she shrank behind Xiaolong: "I know Mother." ”

Mother Meng was still unhappy, threw off the rag and sat down to complain: "If it weren't for your brother's insistence on marrying the three girls of the Song family, and the dean of their academy matched him, I wouldn't want your eldest brother to marry such a girl from a businessman family, and he would still be a concubine, and I don't know how to raise him!" Alas! ”

"Sister Qiu is a very good ......," Xiao Long muttered weakly.

Meng Mu disagreed: "What's the use of being good?" In the future, your eldest brother wants to make a difference in his career, but that girl will not help at all. Alas, it's also to blame that your father died too early, if he was there, he would definitely find a good girl, where would he be so compromised? ”

Meng's father was the master of the government before his death, and the Meng family was barely an official eunuch. Therefore, Meng's mother often regarded herself as the wife of the official family, even if she went out to earn money, she also held a posture, so she had nowhere to work, and finally she could only do needlework to support her family.

Xiaoling Xiaolong didn't understand this, she just felt that Song Qiuniang was good to them, and she would get along well with such a sister-in-law, and she didn't care when she heard Meng's mother's complaints, and the two of them were secretly happy.

Meng's mother was dissatisfied, and the Song family was even more upset.

As soon as Aunt Ruan heard that Meng Tan was coming to propose, she cried on the spot, knelt on the ground and begged: "Madam, old lady, the third girl is not good-looking and introverted, I know that I will not find a good husband, but I can't find such a poor family...... If we get married, won't our three girls have to suffer and be tired? ”

"Aunt Ruan, although the Meng family is a little worse, but the Meng Tan people are still good, when the autumn is in the middle, the official luck will be prosperous in the future, and I am afraid that Qiu Niang will not be blessed? Besides, the old man also spoke, give Qiu Niang more dowry, so that she doesn't have to suffer if she marries, isn't this the end? Mrs. Song patiently appeased, thinking that Master Song was going to give twenty taels of dowry with a wave of his hand, and he had to give so much silver, and she was distressed. This Aunt Ruan is still making trouble, it is really not enough to swallow elephants!

"Then you can't eat the dowry of the third girl for a lifetime. Besides, even if food and clothing are solved, then the work at home is still not done? Pity our three girls who haven't worked since they were children, and they have to serve their mother-in-law, so she doesn't know if she can stand it......" Aunt Ruan said as she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Old Madam Song was unhappy, and said with a calm face: "Our Song family has not always been rich. I think that at the beginning, when I was young, your father was running around to earn money, and there was a sick mother-in-law at home. It's just that later I got rich, and I slowly bought a house and hired people, but I didn't think about it, but I got used to your problems, clothes to reach out for food, open your mouth, do some work, and call! If you want me to say, the family affair of the three girls can be knotted, where can I find a good scholar in the future? If you are afraid that you won't be able to stand the pain when you get married, then let her adapt from now on! ”

Aunt Ruan was really paralyzed at this time, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Old lady, old lady, it's all my fault, it's me who talks nonsense, our three girls have always been the most obedient, and they all obey the arrangements of you and Mrs., and there is no objection!" ”

Old Madam Song glanced at her, "That's very good. Since the family affairs have been decided, let's take the girls back from the academy, let the three girls take care of themselves, and start doing needlework. He also told Mrs. Song: "Chun Niang and Xia Niang haven't settled yet, you have to bother more, I will set a later time for the Meng family to complete the marriage, first, when the Meng family's brother wins, it will be more beautiful, and secondly, it will also give you some time to decide the two relatives." ”

Mrs. Song poked at Mrs. Song's troubles at once, and said with a sad face: "Mother, this really makes me sad." Chunniang is not young, and she is used to being the master of the house, and many people dare not ask for it. Xia Niang is always in trouble again, she originally said a Luo Yi, but she didn't expect to be such a villain again, and now no one proposes marriage, I really don't know how to be good! ”

My eldest granddaughter and second granddaughter are really a headache. The eldest granddaughter is a good one, but she encountered such dirty things, and her life was delayed. What about the second granddaughter? On weekdays, he looks like a very smart and clever person, but he always gets into trouble and doesn't care about his reputation, so he is now passive. It's the third granddaughter, who is silent on weekdays, but she is the first to settle down, and I think the next world still loves chaste and quiet women......

Old Madam Song sighed, "No matter what, the matter of the three girls is settled quickly, and the other girls must also be settled." Ji, you've bothered a lot. "I called the housekeeper again, and my mother took the gem-inlaid head from the treasury to reward Mrs. Song, and took two bracelets to reward Aunt Ruan and Aunt Zhang, which can be regarded as appeasing people's hearts.

With the approval of Master Song and Mrs. Song, Mrs. Song did not dare to delay, and found someone to deliver a message to Meng's mother, and the two families quickly set a date, just next autumn, so there is still a year and a half to prepare, which is not too rushed.
