Introduction: The unbearable history of blood and tears (I)
Blowing and blowing, the joyful sound of suona blowing also infected the surrounding crowd of people, and the street is a lively scene of the groom greeting his relatives, but this kind of thing is very common in Linshan County, so although everyone is congratulating, it is not necessarily so unusual, compared to the newlyweds entering the cave room, they are more interested in another person......
"Yo, I heard that this is the 500th couple of newcomers arranged by Mrs. Lin......"
"Five hundred pairs! No wonder her family's signboard is so loud, and people have matched more than 100 pairs in their lifetime...... She has matched 500 pairs in 20 years! ”
"Isn't it? By the way, I heard that Mrs. Lin also has a daughter nicknamed 'Little Matchmaker', who is young and her ability to be a matchmaker is no worse than her mother! ”
"You mean Lin Mei, right? Looks like she's only seventeen......"
Three years ago, Linshan County
"Lin Mei, let's go to the market today, I heard that there are tricks in the market recently, but it's exciting." Liu Yufei, the county lady, ran over happily, hugged the girl in scarlet clothes and began to be coquettish, her voice was coquettish, and she was really cute.
Next to the girl in scarlet stood a pretty girl in a light purple skirt, with her hands on her waist, she stepped on the wooden bench where the girl in scarlet was sitting, and her voice was rude, "Lin Mei, are you going or not!" Anyway, it's the rainy season, do you want to mold with those furniture if you stay at home? ”
The corner of the scarlet girl's mouth twitched, and she helplessly removed the foot of the girl in the skirt from her side, "Lin Shi, are you sure you can still find your in-laws like this?" "They're all married, and the family is starting to help keep an eye on the marriage.
"Your mother is so powerful, are we afraid that we won't be able to find our in-laws?" Liu Yufei sat down next to the girl in scarlet clothes, not worried about the happiness of the rest of her life at all.
Lin Shi pulled her foot back and sat on the other side of the girl in scarlet, her mouth echoing, "That's right, what's more, you are better than your mother, we are with you, and we don't have to worry about getting married at all!" ”
The girl in scarlet clothes didn't look good, and muttered a few words, "I said that I don't like to be a matchmaker......"
No way, her mother is one of the best matchmakers in Linshan County, and she has been named "little matchmaker" since she was a child, and now she is really not happy to hear her two best friends say the same.
Liu Yufei's father is the county magistrate of Linshan County, she has also had a seven-trick exquisite heart since she was a child, and when she saw that Lin Mei didn't like it, she immediately pulled the topic away, "Then let's go to the play, there is an opera troupe singing in the market today, I heard that Danjiao is good-looking!" ”
Lin Mei was really tormented by the two of them, so she could only nod and agree to accompany the two of them to the market to have a look.
"Okay, I'll go out with you, wait for me to change my clothes."
Lin Mei entered the inner room and changed into a tulle full-breasted skirt, although she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was also extremely plump, most of the women of this dynasty were unrestrained and open-minded, and there were several empresses in the court, so women did not have to go out of the door like him, and there were more bold and unrestrained people, who expressed their affection to men on the street, and finally lived happily and fully after marriage.
If you talk about appearance, Lin Mei is also born with a good skin, but her temper is a little hotter, among the three of Liu Yufei and Lin Shi, although Lin Shi is rude, she is delicate and soft, and Liu Yufei is worthy of being the daughter of the county order, full of talent and dignified manners, so, Lin Mei is the one who looks the most bright and beautiful.
In the lively market, three fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls were joking and frolicking, which was extremely eye-catching.
"Girl...... This box of rouge ......"
Before the boy dressed as a Confucian in Tsing Yi finished speaking, Lin Shi exclaimed, "Lin Mei, as soon as you go to the street, someone will show you your admiration, no wonder you didn't go to the street before!" After that, she and Liu Yufei both looked at the Confucian in Tsing Yi playfully.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Lin Mei also blushed rarely, looking a little more shy, she looked at the Confucian student embarrassedly, and said in a low voice, "...... Son. ”
The Confucian in Tsing Yi had a strange face, and whispered in Lin Mei's ear with some embarrassment, "Ahem, that...... Can you please ask the girl to help me deliver this box of rouge to the girl in the purple skirt next to you? ”
“……”
Lin Mei froze and was speechless.
Lin Shi and the others didn't hear what the Confucian said, and exchanged doubts in the back, "...... Lin Shi, what did you say about Lin Mei, what did the man say to her that made her so speechless! ”
"How do I know, oops! This purple skirt can't help but be dirty, I knew I wouldn't listen to my mother's words and wore this out, it's really troublesome! Lin Shi lifted the dirty skirt and complained, not knowing that the Confucian in Tsing Yi liked herself.
Two years ago, Mid-Autumn Festival, Linshan County
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, each family has set up the incense case to prepare to worship the moon god at night, on the incense case, put more than a dozen kinds of melons and fruits, all kinds of livestock, the family sits together, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the bright moon in the sky.
"Lin Mei, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, take advantage of the full moon and dare to show your love to your brother Xiao!" Lin Shi, who is married to a wife, still does not change her stubborn and active temperament, and speaks demagogically.
Lin Mei had impatience on her face, but there was a hint of shyness in her eyes, you know, Brother Xiao is the first person she likes in so many years! Even if she wants to express her heart, she must be careful to deal with it......
"Please, Lin Shi, if you're already married, please don't be like a hairy monkey anymore, okay, and your husband doesn't care about you?"
Lin Shi snorted dissatisfiedly, and the unhappiness on his face almost overflowed, "Hmph, who knew that the man from a year ago would actually go to propose marriage to my father...... How dare he care about me? It's a blessing for him that I don't care about teaching him, how dare he care about me! ”
At this time, there was a strange sound of grinding teeth.
"Huh? Lin Mei, you have rats in your house! Liu Yufei listened curiously, but the more he listened, the more it seemed to come from Lin Mei's body.
"That, yes, I, I'm in, grinding, teeth!" Lin Mei had a vicious expression on her face at this time, and said word by word, and continued to grind her teeth after speaking, Lin Shi's little girl really didn't know how to be blessed, and she dared to poke her scar so blatantly!
“……”
Stay until the Mid-Autumn Festival the next day, the night is really the time to spend the full moon, every household has put out moon cakes to enjoy the shade, Lin Mei stepped on the sound of frogs and crickets, and quietly came to the small courtyard of the neighbor Brother Xiao, the wind blew and insects, and was accompanied by the sound of knocking on the door.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Xiao Yuan opened the door, but was surprised to find that it was Lin Mei next door who was standing outside the door, and he asked suspiciously, "Lin Mei, why are you here?" ”
"That...... Brother Xiao, I'm here to bring you moon cakes, you see you're home alone......" Lin Mei said with a shy, her voice lowered, she was really shy.
Xiao Yuan's face showed a little embarrassment, and he said in a slurred, "Uh...... Meimei, in fact, I have always regarded you as a sister, and there is...... This handkerchief ...... You'd better find another lover to give you a gift! ”
The corners of his eyebrows twitched as he looked at the brocade with mandarin ducks embroidered, and secretly swallowed his saliva.
"Really...... Then I'll go first, Brother Xiao, excuse me. Lin Meiqiang left with a smile, her steps a little unsteady.
Xiao Yuan quickly closed the door with a "snap" after she left, touched her frightened little heart, and said to herself, "Oh my God, that handkerchief is really embroidered with mandarin ducks?!" Just those two black things? This kind of woman...... You can't get married! ”
