This practice and requirement of even keeping promises is not strange in this era. Say, this is a common practice among the people. In this era, the emphasis is on blind marriage and dumb marriage. But this blindness and dumbness are for a couple of men and women who are married. The two families who are married naturally still have to understand each other and each other's family well.

And this kind of understanding, in addition to listening to the introduction of the matchmaker, is mostly achieved by inquiring about this behavior. And generally at this time, the people who are heard will report the good news but not the bad, only talk about the advantages, not the disadvantages. Even if you are usually useless, you can be praised as a flower by everyone at this time.

For this common practice, the general public opinion does not consider it to be deception, on the contrary, the general public opinion believes that it is a good deed, a good deed to achieve marriage.

The matchmaker's two mouths are certainly not credible, but the authenticity and reliability of the news obtained through inquiry also have a lot of room for action.

Like Shiro, someone said kiss this time, even if he can't control what others will say behind his back, at least, his family can't say anything unfavorable to Shiro.

Lian Shouxin regarded this as a very important thing, so he specially instructed Zhang. And Zhang's is a little dissatisfied with Lian Shouxin, the two have lived together for many years, Lian Shouxin should know her personality, she doesn't like to talk about people's strengths, let alone say anything about Shiro at this time.

However, the temperament of these two people is mild, even if the Zhang family is dissatisfied, they will not have any radical words and deeds, and even if they are trustworthy, they are willing to give in immediately. It's no wonder that so many things have been encountered, but Lian Shouxin and Zhang have never really quarreled.

A little filth, if it is to be put between the old man Lian and the Zhou family in the old mansion, it must be a war, but it can be replaced by Lian Shouxin and the Zhang family, and it will be calmed down so plainly.

The family has not forgotten what they came back to the village early for.

The cotton cloth, cotton, sheepskin, needle and thread that were transported with the car were unloaded in the front yard across the courtyard, and the work had to be distributed as soon as possible.

"Mother, that's what I planned. Let's first ask a few people to cut the cotton cloth and sheepskin as they are, and then divide the cotton, needlework and thread according to the amount, and then distribute the work. Lian Man'er said to Zhang.

Uniform cutting, and then determine how much cotton is used for each pair of knee pads and each pair of insoles, which can control the material, and at the same time can also avoid the uneven thickness of the things handed in at that time, and can also speed up the progress.

"Okay, I can do this work faster." Zhang nodded.

"Mother, then think about it, who around us is skillful and can cut?" Lian Man'er asked.

“… ・・・Your third aunt and Ye'er will definitely have to call them over to help the step-grandfather's daughter-in-law will also cut, but unfortunately you can't call her over, and you will send someone to the town in a while, see if your Wu family's aunt and Jiayu are free, and then call Shangchunzhu's daughter-in-law......" Zhang thought while deciding on the candidate. His own family is preferred, and then there are a few daughters-in-law who are usually good with the Zhang family and are also famous in the village.

"Then you don't have to wait for tomorrow, now let's send someone to invite everyone here, and the big guys will discuss it together, and we will start work today." Lian Man'er said immediately.

"Okay." Zhang nodded happily.

Lian Man'er immediately called her family to come and ask for someone.

Zhao and Lian Ye'er's mother and daughter knew that Lian Man'er and they were coming back because they were close, and they were also coming, so they were the first to come to the door.

I haven't seen each other for a few days, and when I see each other, my sisters naturally have to say hello. Before anyone else came to the door, the ladies sat around and chatted.

“… ・・・The old man told Shiro about a daughter-in-law? Zhang asked Zhao first.

"Yes," Zhao nodded, "I got the letter yesterday evening, saying that I would come to see each other tomorrow, and the person who came into the city this morning brought Shiro a letter to ask him to come back." You've just come back, how do you know? ”

"Shiro came back with us." Zhang told Shiro that he went to Liushujing Hutong to find them and came back together, and then asked Zhao, "Which daughter-in-law did the old man tell Shiro?" ”

"I heard that it is from the Badao Temple in the west," Zhao told Zhang, "The surname is Wang, there are five daughters and a son in the family, and the one I told Shiro is the third child, and he said that he is eighteen this year." ”

"Ah・・・・・・" Zhang nodded, "The Eight Dao Temples are not close to us, a well-known poor place. This girl's family doesn't seem to be rich, and she is a little older than Shiro. ・・・… These are small things, as long as the girl herself can do it. …… Did you say how much bride price you wanted? ”

"I haven't said this yet, I shouldn't want too much." Zhao said.

"If that's the case, I think it's a good thing to happen." Zhang pondered for a while, and felt that the conditions of the girl in the Wang family were a good match with Shiro in the old mansion, so he said.

"I think it's pretty much the same." Zhao also said.

"Ye'er, this girl I told Shiro, our master must be happy, Ya'er, her father and mother are willing?" Lian Man'er also asked Lian Ye'er next to him.

"When the matchmaker came, they picked it too." Lian Ye'er told Lian Man'er, "It is said that the Badao Temple is poor, there is no dowry, and the old Wang family has many daughters and few sons, and also said that the son of the old Wang family is small, and I am afraid that I will hang Lian Shilang or something in the future." I thought that the girl was older than Shiro, and asked if the parents were good-looking or not......"

"That's a lot・・・・・・ the corners of Lian Man'er's mouth couldn't help twitching.

"The two of them, take the shelf." When Zhang heard it, he said, "Then the last one, they all nodded, right?" ”

"It's all nodded, and my grandfather entrusted someone to give Shiro a letter." Lian Ye'er said, "Ya'er's mother still came to our house to chatter, saying that her life is not good, and one son and two sons are all for other people's families." Looking at the old Wang family like this, he will definitely hang up with Shiro or something in the future. ”

"It's not for me to say this, what else are they picking, it's quite appropriate. Before we pick others, we have to look at ourselves first. Zhang said, "If people are not poor, have no money at home, and have no dowry, can they marry in the old house?" That place is poor, our place is good, other girls get married, but they can't run for something. ”

"Even if he has a young son and is so far away, it doesn't necessarily mean that he is stupid. The girl is eighteen years old, not much older than Shiro. Besides, it's better for the girl to be older, and she is better at work than the younger one, and she is sensible. Didn't the two heads of the family have long thought about letting their daughter-in-law serve, and with this condition, what else do they have to choose? ”

In front of Zhao and Lian Ye'er, what Zhang thought in his heart, he said it.

"Ye'er and her father went home to learn from us, and the old man thought so too. also said that the children of poor families are good, and if the girl's family is rich, he doesn't dare to give Shiro a set. ・・・・・・ listen to what the old man meant, and wait for tomorrow to see each other, as long as the girl of the Wang family has no major defects, this family business, he will make the decision to give it a day, and he will marry Shiro. Zhao apparently agreed with Zhang's view.

"This girl and Shiro are not young, so it's better to get married early." Zhang said.

"Let's just prepare to give a salute." Zhao said.

"By the way, have we heard any rumors here?" Zhang lowered his voice again and said to Zhao.

"What's the wind?" Zhao was puzzled.

“… ・・・Yesterday on our way into the city, we met ......" Zhang told Zhao about the quarrel between Lian Lan'er and Shiro, and Lian Lan'er gossip about Shiro in the city.

"And what's going on?" Zhao was taken aback, "We haven't heard of it." ”

"That's good, it doesn't seem to have reached us." Zhang said.

"It's really powerful, if you put it on us, I'm afraid we'll have to suffer this dumb loss. Hey, this person is really different. Zhao stammered.

"Not really." Zhang nodded, "Both times have touched the stubble." ”

The two of them were very pretentious, and Lian Man'er and Lian Ye'er on the side also bit their ears and said very hot, and Lian Man'er also told Lian Ye'er how Shiro had to learn how to ride a mule from Goro on the way back, and later had to ride her horse.

"It's really shameless, so you shouldn't ignore him." Lian Ye'er said, and then sighed, "If this is my family, my father is probably about the same as my fourth uncle." You still have the fifth brother and Xiao Qi, and I'll be alone, hey. ”

While a few people were talking, the people who invited them arrived one after another.

Wu Wang's family not only brought Wu Jiayu, but also Lian Zhi'er. The mothers and sons met, and they were very affectionate. Lian Zhi'er is now very expensive in the Wu family and Lian's family, and as soon as she entered the house, she was carefully let by the Zhang family and Lian Man'er to sit in the kang.

"Sister, why are you here too, I just told my mother that I will take time to see you tomorrow." Lian Man'er whispered to Lian Zhi'er.

“… ・・・Don't be so careful, I don't have anything to do. Lian Zhi'er said, "I also want to help with some work." ”

Lian Zhi'er was originally slender, but now that she is pregnant, she is still young, and her waist is still slender, and her movements are extremely dexterous.

Everyone greeted each other for a while, and when all the people invited arrived, even Man'er told everyone about the matter carefully. Now everyone is idle, just doing some simple needlework, which can help the defenders of the border city, and can make the girls and daughters-in-law who usually have no source of income at home earn some pocket money, and everyone is naturally happy.

Lian Man'er vacated a room in the courtyard, cleaned it up, and burned the kang warmly, and everyone moved over and began to cut.

The work of cutting will be done at home, and the sewing work will be handed over to the girls and daughters-in-law to take home to do. As soon as the work here was done, some girls and daughters-in-law who heard the news took the initiative to come to the door and rushed to get the work home to do it.
