Chapter 117: Flowers as Matchmakers
Liugu hasn't been to the market for a long time. On this day, she was idle, walking alone to the market, wandering out boredly.
A little girl ran over, holding a bouquet of flowers, and asked the sixth aunt: "Auntie, do you want to buy flowers?" ”
"Auntie?" When the sixth aunt saw the little girl calling her aunt, she was stunned and involuntarily stood still.
The sixth aunt saw the appearance of the little girl who asked her to buy flowers at the age of six or seven, holding a bouquet of flowers and looking at her.
"Little sister, do you sell flowers?" Sixth aunt asked.
"Yes, I sell flowers! I'm going to earn money to buy a gift because it's my father's birthday! The little girl told the sixth aunt.
"What a capable, your father must be glad to know that you earn money to buy him a birthday present!" Liugu said.
"Now my father doesn't know about it, I bought a gift and told my father!" The little girl said.
"Well, that's good!" The sixth aunt looked at the little girl, felt that she was a little embarrassed, and asked, "Little sister, I haven't seen you before, are you passing by Sanchong Town?" ”
"Yes, Auntie! My father specialized in sharpening scissors and kitchen knives, traveled from north to south, and never stayed anywhere for three months! ”
"Oh, this kind of life really means, I just want to live like this!" Sixth aunt said. ”
"Auntie, do you buy flowers?" The little girl asked the sixth aunt again.
"Then buy a bouquet!" After the sixth aunt gave a few copper plates to the little girl, she asked, "Little sister, what's your name?"
The little girl told the sixth aunt: "Auntie, my name is Wang Yanyan!"
The sixth aunt nodded and said to Wang Yanyan: "Yanyan, you go back and tell your father that there is an aunt who asked him to go to Qiao's Mansion in the south of the town, and there are many scissors and kitchen knives for him to help sharpen!"
"Auntie, do you want to go now?" Yanyan asked.
"I'll go now when I'm free, and if there's something, it's okay to be later!" Liugu said.
"Okay, Auntie, I'll tell my father!!" Yanyan replied.
After the sixth aunt left, Yang Mengqi's henchman flashed out and said to Yanyan: "Yanyan, I'm right, that aunt bought your flowers!"
"Thank you, uncle!"
"No thanks, take your father to Qiao's Mansion quickly!"
"Well, my father must be happy to have business to do!" Yanyan said.
After Yan Yan ran to find her father, Yang Mengqi walked to her henchman's side and said to her henchman: "You told Mrs. Sun to be a matchmaker at the right time!" ”
"Yes, Miss!" Yang Mengqi's henchman saluted and said.
Wang Yanyan and her father came to the gate of Qiao's mansion. The maid who was waiting for the sixth aunt received the order of the sixth aunt, and was already waiting at the gate of the mansion, when she saw Wang Yanyan and her father coming, she hurriedly led them into Qiao's mansion.
The sixth aunt heard her maid report that Wang Yanyan and her father were here and came out.
"This man, although he looks vicissitudes, he looks very calm!" The sixth aunt walked out and took a look at Yanyan's father, and couldn't help but think.
"Sixth aunt and grandmother, the person who helped you sharpen your scissors and kitchen knives is here!" The maid of the sixth aunt said to the sixth aunt.
"Slowly sharpen these scissors and kitchen knives!" The sixth aunt said to Yanyan's father.
"Yes, Sixth Aunt!"
"Hello, Auntie!" Yan Yan greeted the sixth aunt.
"Yanyan, hello! There are a lot of flowers in Auntie's house, Auntie will take you to see them! The sixth aunt said to Wang Yanyan.
Wang Yanyan turned her head to look at her father, seeing what her father meant.
"Yanyan, if you like to see flowers, go ahead!" Yanyan's father said to Yanyan.
"Yes, Father!" Yan Yan replied happily.
Yanyan's father said to the sixth aunt: "Sixth aunt and grandmother, my daughter has always liked flowers, wherever she goes, although she knows that she will not stay for a long time, she still plants flowers in front of the house and behind the house, saying that even if she leaves, she can also let people passing by smell the fragrance of flowers!" ”
"Your daughter, so cute!" The sixth aunt said to Yanyan's father.
The sixth aunt led Yanyan to the garden of Qiao's mansion to enjoy the blooming flowers.
The eldest aunt and a few sisters heard that the sixth aunt was actually interested in bringing her daughter who came to help her sharpen scissors and kitchen knives to the garden to enjoy the flowers, which was a little strange, but they didn't say anything.
After the sixth aunt led Yanyan to the garden of Qiao's mansion to enjoy the blooming flowers, she took her to her boudoir to eat snacks, and told Yanyan that she likes to cook by herself, so the kitchen knife must be sharp.
The sixth aunt and Wang Yanyan nodded and laughed while eating, and the two of them were very talkative.
On the second day, Mrs. Sun came to Qiao's house.
"Mother Sun, hello!" The aunt greeted Mrs. Sun.
"Hello everyone!" After Mrs. Sun bowed, she smiled again, "I came to the door today to be a matchmaker!" ”
"Oh?" When everyone heard Mrs. Sun say that she was here to be a matchmaker, they opened their eyes wide and looked at Mrs. Sun to see what she said.
Mrs. Sun spoke: "I'm here today to propose to the sixth aunt for the Wang craftsman who is passing by our Sanchong Town and specializes in sharpening scissors and kitchen knives!" ”
"A craftsman who specializes in sharpening scissors and kitchen knives? Is it the person who came to Qiao's Mansion yesterday to help Liugu sharpen scissors and kitchen knives? The aunt asked suspiciously.
"Yes, Craftsman Wang's wife has passed away, and he wants to marry a stepfamily and take care of his life and that of his daughter! After seeing the sixth aunt yesterday, I liked it very much, so I asked me to come to the door to propose," said Mrs. Sun.
"This can't be done, how can we say that Qiaofu is also a rich family, how can we let the sixth aunt marry a wandering craftsman who has no fixed residence? And it's still a stepmother, and once you get married, you have to be a stepmother! The aunt listened to Mrs. Sun's words and immediately objected.
"Also, there is no fixed place to live, and it is difficult to see each other in the future!" The crowd disagreed.
"Is Craftsman Wang coming to propose marriage to me? I love living a life without a fixed place! And I also like Yanyan, when her stepmother is also willing" Sixth Aunt spoke.
Everyone looked at the sixth aunt in surprise.
The sixth aunt said: "My dream is to live a life without a fixed place, this thing is very good!" ”
"Wow, you'd like to live without a home!" The crowd asked in surprise.
"Yes, I'd like to live in a life where I don't have a fixed place so I can see different things around!" This time, when the sixth aunt spoke, it was with a firm tone, "I met Craftsman Wang yesterday and felt that he was not bad!" ”
Reborn and chopping wood and returning home, everyone in Qiao's Mansion talked about it, saying that Liugu was going to marry a craftsman who had come to Sanchong Town to trim knives and kitchen knives!
Rebirth thought to himself, "What's going on? Is Qiao's Mansion lucky? Those old aunts are marrying off one by one? ”
Qiao Xuewei knew that her sixth aunt was happy to marry a craftsman, and she was happy for her sixth aunt.
"Sixth aunt, what dowry do you want?" Qiao Xuewei asked the sixth aunt.
"Xue Wei, you help Sixth Aunt prepare a big carriage, after I get married, I will follow my husband and stepdaughter Yanyan to sit in this big carriage and drift around!" The sixth aunt confessed to Qiao Xuewei.
"Sixth aunt, you are finally going to live the life you like!" Qiao Xuewei and Liugu hugged each other.
"Oh my God, that old aunt and sixth aunt in Qiao's Mansion got married, I heard that as soon as she got married, she followed her husband and stepdaughter to leave Sanchong Town!" The people of Sanchong Town were surprised by the marriage of the sixth aunt.
"Hey, that old lady walks around with so many dowry jewels, be careful of being robbed by robbers!" A person who likes to talk about things said sourly.
"Oh, it's up to her creation!" A group of people laughed.
"Reborn, the sixth aunt finally got married, although I am reluctant to let her leave, I am happy for her!" Qiao Xuewei and Chongsheng passed by the door of the room where the sixth aunt used to live, looked at the closed door, and said to Chongsheng.
"Xue Wei, your sixth aunt likes to live this kind of life, as long as she feels happy!" Reborn saw Qiao Xuewei's lonely expression, and hurriedly comforted her.
"Yes, as long as the sixth aunt feels happy!" Qiao Xuewei leaned on the shoulder of the reborn and said softly.
