63. Matchmaker
In the end, Tong Xue didn't care whether Xu Wenyuan and Xu Wenda discussed a result or not, but the Liu family couldn't make up their minds for the time being, but the Xu family's business still had to be done as always.
On this day, as usual, Xu Wenyuan went to the town market early with lo-mei.
But Xu Wenyuan walked on the front foot just now, and a matchmaker came to the door on the back foot.
Seeing the matchmaker's first reaction, Tong Xue thought that she was here to say goodbye to Xu Wenyuan, after all, although Xu Wenyuan was still a half-grown child who had just become an adult in her eyes, but in ancient times, at this age, many of them became fathers.
If I thought that the Xu family was having a hard time and didn't want to marry in, but now that Xu Wenda is seeing it, people who have ambitions and expectations for the future may let their daughter join in.
But Tong Xue was completely wrong, the matchmaker who came turned out to be a kiss to Xu Wan.
Tong Xue was shocked for a long time before she eased up, she still kept treating Wan'er as a child, and a matchmaker came to the door.
Of course, what Tong Xue didn't know was that this matchmaker was the matchmaker who said goodbye to Xu Wenda, if she knew, I was afraid that she would blow people out immediately.
In this era, it all depends on one mouth, compared to the matchmaker at that time, Tong Yu said a lot of good things, so that her father-in-law, who had never met her, had to carry the pressure of her mother at home.
But who Tong Yu is, she couldn't be clearer, anyway, in short, even if Xu Wenda once set a family affair, Tong Yu at that time was definitely not worthy of Xu Wenda.
Xu Zhengyong felt that he had picked a good family for his son until he died, and the cat in it was naturally said by the matchmaker.
However, at this time, Tong Xue still politely welcomed people in, "Who are you?" ”
The matchmaker glanced up and down at Tong Xue, and then took Tong Xue's hand very affectionately, "The old surname is Wang, since you are here, it is naturally a happy event, hey, little lady, you look a little familiar, you are the girl of the Tong family, just you and your father-in-law, or I told you, I said back then that you were a blessed person, look at it, it is not long after you married in, you are a lingering sick person." ”
Tong Xue wanted to drive people away when she heard this, if she hadn't come unexpectedly, I'm afraid that the Xu family would have to do two white things in succession, first Tong Xue, and then Xu Wenda.
It's a pity that the matchmaker Wang didn't know it at all, and she was smiling, but it was a pity that the fat powder on her face was a little thick, and when she smiled, she could see that there was a slight powder falling down, and Tong Xue's heart and liver trembled a little, and she couldn't help but stumble back.
Mrs. Wang has been over for so many years, and she has already practiced thick-skinned, seeing Tong Xue's brows furrowed slightly, when she didn't see anything, she didn't seem to be aware at all, and she was still very enthusiastic, "Xu Niangzi, I wanted to say goodbye to your sister-in-law Xu Wan when I came back, and you hadn't married into the door at that time, but since you married in, this kind of thing, of course I want to talk to you, the eldest sister-in-law." ”
Tong Xue motioned for Xu Wan to leave, leaving her alone to face the spitting matchmaker, and the matchmaker Wang said with a fluttering eyebrow, "It's the son of the Yuanwai family in Qingyang Mansion, the only son of Zheng Yuanwai, who is also a famous son in Qingyang Mansion, but he is a little older than Wan'er, and he is already twenty years old, but he knows how to hurt people when he is older, isn't it, Xu Niangzi and your husband are more different than them." ”
Tong Xue frowned, Xu Wenda was late in marriage, which is understandable, but this Zheng Gongzi is the son of a foreigner, and he is rich, he is so old and has not yet married, it is not scientific, isn't there some hidden disease, "Why hasn't this Zheng Gongzi married at the age of twenty, could it be that he is the same as my father-in-law, keeping filial piety for the elders in the family?" ”
Mrs. Wang giggled a few times, and laughed so hard that Tong Xue was weird, "It's also strange that the boy is too good, and he hasn't found the one he likes, but Zheng Gongzi's family, naturally he can't find those vulgar people, this is not to see Miss Xu's blue heart, but also a scholarly family, so I came to ask for marriage." If you want me to say it
, this is the fate of the Zheng family and the Xu family. ”
Because Mrs. Wang said about Xu Wenda's family affairs, Tong Xue didn't trust this person from the root, so she let what Mrs. Wang said was all over the place, but Tong Xue was still unmoved.
The matchmaker sighed, last time she saw that Xu Wenyuan seemed to have been a little loose, but with this Tong Xue, this matter seems to be not easy to handle, "This is a rare family matter, last time that Xu Wenyuan told the old body to think about it, this has been considered for a long time, and the Zheng family has urged the old body several times." ”
Mrs. Wang kept saying that the Zheng family was good, and the good words kept jumping out as if she didn't want money, if Mrs. Wang could say some shortcomings, Tong Xue might still believe it, but now the more Mrs. Wang has such good words, the more Tong Xue feels unbelievable.
If it is really as good as Mrs. Wang said, I am afraid that there are many girls who want to marry him, she doesn't know where Qingyang Mansion is, but it sounds like it should be the provincial capital, she doesn't believe that there is no girl in Qingyang who has no Xiucai family, and she has to go to such a remote place to find Xu Wan.
Although Tong Xue had already denied this family business in her heart, she didn't say so in the end, she still said very politely, "Please go back first, I married in as the matchmaker you said, you also know, I just entered the door, I really can't do the idea of my sister-in-law's family affairs, my body is not good yet, I am still resting at this time, and when he wakes up, I will reply to you after discussing with him." ”
Mrs. Wang looked at her tongue and was about to say dry, and people were not moved at all, so she felt a little annoyed in her heart, then the Zheng family said, said that after this family matter, there is a reward of fifty taels, fifty taels of silver, how many times does she have to say that the matchmaker can earn it.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang wanted to continue, Tong Xue immediately returned, "If it is really as you said, this is an excellent family business, then naturally I will agree, please go back, I will go to my father-in-law to discuss." ”
Tong Xue has said it here, and she almost didn't drive people out directly, and Mrs. Wang just needs to leave, "Okay, I'll ask you in a few days." ”
Mrs. Wang went out with a breath of air, and as soon as she went out, she immediately changed her face, and spit at the door, "I'm a girl who doesn't have a mother, and I don't know what to do." ”
Tong Xue saw that Xu Wan's face changed when she saw the matchmaker, and she didn't go to Xu Wenda, but went directly to Xu Wan, "Wan'er, what's going on with this family matter?" Do you know who Zheng Gongzi is? ”
Xu Wan really knew that she even really thought about letting Xu Wenyuan respond to this family business, "At that time, my brother was not well, and the doctors said that the eldest brother had little time, so let's get ready, and we should prepare for the funeral for the eldest brother, and then the matchmaker came, saying that the Zheng family could give fifty taels of silver as a dowry, and I thought that if I got married, I could still give the eldest brother Chong Chongxi, and the fifty taels of silver could also treat the eldest brother, maybe it would be fine." ”
