Chapter 18: Marriage Proposal

Aunt Jiang was shocked when she heard this: So, the Guo family has 150 acres of land?

It's really a rich family!

She glanced at Aunt Jiang, and then quietly turned her gaze away.

Aunt Jiang made a rough calculation in her heart: the income from farmland plus the income from women's brocade weaving and men's handicrafts during the slack time, how the Guo family's life can be imagined.

She looked at the Guo family's background, and her intentions were twofold:

First, of course, he wants to marry a rich family for the Jiang family, and no one wants to marry a poor family.

Second, it is not enough to look at the family background, after all, the Jiang family wants to marry the daughter of the Guo family as a daughter-in-law, not to marry the daughter to the Guo family as a daughter-in-law, she is the second elder of the Guo family to see her children. In her mind, the second elder of the Guo family is so good at managing the family business, and deploying his son and daughter-in-law so badly, then Guo Qingdu's ability must not be bad under their teaching.

Thinking about it like this, Aunt Jiang is a little satisfied with this family business.

At noon, after Guo Shouye came back, the two sides sat down in the hall to discuss family affairs.

Aunt Jiang and Guo Shouye are both very reserved, and they are mainly mediated by two matchmakers.

Aunt Jiang said that her eldest brother's family has 50 acres of land, more than 100 acres of bamboo forests, and the bamboo strip craftsmanship passed down from her ancestors.

Guo Shouye and Wu were calm and unmoved.

Because the Jiang family's family business is just passable in their eyes.

They were more concerned about Jiang Minghui, so they repeatedly inquired about his situation.

Second Aunt Jiang praised Jiang Minghui as rare in the sky and not on the earth.

Aunt Cai was not to be outdone, and also praised the Guo family and Qingdu.

Aunt Jiang lowered her head when she heard this, and peeled peanuts and ate them with her heart.

Aunt Jiang asked suspiciously: "How did I hear people talk about it before, and it was not all about the dumb words, so the Zhang family was not satisfied, so they quit their relatives." But is there such a thing? ”

If the matchmaker is invited, she generally praises the Li family in front of the Zhang family, and then exposes the shortcomings of the Zhang family and signals him not to be too picky; In front of the Li family, he praised the Zhang family, and also beat the Li family, not to let him be too proud, so that it was a means of matchmaking.

At present, this family is a matchmaker, and it is the relatives of both sides who are the matchmakers, so they naturally have their own plans.

Aunt Jiang's second aunt because of the Guo family's rich family, Guo Shouye's two family are upright, although the male family should rush the female family to ask for marriage, but they can't let them look down on the Jiang family, so they beat them with the matter of dumb resignation, which is intended to remind them: Your daughter was withdrawn from her family.

Regardless of whether the dumb can speak or not, it is disgraceful to withdraw from relatives after all.

This must be said by her, and Aunt Jiang can't come out and say it.

Because Mrs. Cai sued Mrs. Jiang for quitting her family, if you mention it again, it will be inappropriate.

Sure enough, Guo Shouye and Wu, who wanted to face and protect their cubs, immediately changed color when they heard this.

Aunt Cai hurriedly said: "His second aunt, I told Minghui Niang about this a long time ago, it is all the shamelessness of the Zhang family and the daughter of the Li family, and it has nothing to do with being dumb......

Crackling, she told the past again.

She is also a knife mouth, as the saying goes, "green out of blue is better than blue", Cai's sharp mouth is inherited from her, so she scolded Zhang Futian and Li Hongjube for a bloody head.

Guo Shouye said in a deep voice: "What's wrong with quitting relatives? People have done ugly things and still don't allow us to quit our relatives? Hmph, my Guo family's daughter is very capable, and I also prepared twenty acres of land for her as a dowry, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get married! If I hadn't been reluctant to marry her away before, I wouldn't have been able to tell her to the little brute of the Zhang family. Hmph, as long as I let out the wind, I don't know how many people come to the door to propose! ”

Wu also nodded, and looked at Aunt Jiang with a light smile, as if she understood her thoughts.

Aunt Jiang first heard that there were twenty acres of land as a dowry, and she was overjoyed; When I heard it, I was a little flustered; was glanced at by the Wu family again, and he was a little weak-hearted, and secretly blamed the second brother and sister for being too flirtatious, which made the old couple of the Guo family angry.

She was really afraid that the Guo family would let off steam, causing the suitors to break through the threshold.

Therefore, she hurriedly laughed and said: "His second aunt, this is all nonsense made up by those people." The last time I heard Cai's sister-in-law say this, I was so angry that I scolded them for not showing virtue. If you want to say this, you don't blame the niece of the Guo family at all. Sister-in-law of the Guo family, after all, I haven't met my niece yet. ”

Second Aunt Jiang also said: "It's all my fault, I heard that it was wind or rain." Whether it's good or bad, call your niece over to take a look, it's not all clear. Isn't real gold afraid of fire? ”

She didn't suppress it anymore, and she didn't blow it anymore, for fear of making Guo Shouye angry again.

But "entrusted by people, loyal to people", what should be viewed is still to be checked.

If the daughter of the Guo family is too unpresentable, the Jiang family will not be able to agree to this family business.

Wu said to Ruan: "Shout to be dumb." It's called don't weave. What should I do if I don't have a day and night to boil my eyes? It's almost time to eat, so I asked her to come and help her sister-in-law fry a few dishes. ”

Of course, she didn't wait for her daughter to stir-fry and eat, but deliberately let the dumb show her skills.

Ruan took Guo Qiao upstairs to call someone.

I haven't gone up yet, but I've already come down.

Because the voice downstairs was too noisy, it alarmed her.

Looking at the girl who walked down the stairs quietly, Aunt Jiang and Aunt Jiang's eyes widened.

When the dumb came to the front, Aunt Jiang hurriedly stood up, took her hand and praised: "Ouch, it's really a big lady, it's gentle and good-looking!" Sister-in-law of the Guo family, look at the girl you raised, it is more expensive than the daughter of the family! Look at this hand, I'm afraid I've never done field work, right? ”

Wu said proudly: "Her three elder brothers, she still uses Xiatian!" ”

said that he introduced Qingdu, "Qingdu, this is the second aunt of the Jiang family." ”

Qing Du nodded slightly to Aunt Jiang.

Wu pointed to Aunt Jiang again, "This is Aunt Jiang." ”

Qing Du also nodded.

Seeing that his daughter was not called a person, Wu was anxious, and hurriedly said: "My family's dumb brocade weaving is a good hand, whether it is embroidery or vegetables, she will ...... Housework is not something she won't have. ”

She smoothed her mouth and almost said that she was dumb and could play the piano and be literate, so she couldn't bear it.

Second Aunt Jiang was suddenly amazed, and she wanted to see the dumb brocade again.

Aunt Jiang also stared at Qing Du with blazing eyes, eager to take her apart and take a closer look.

Wu asked Qing Du to go upstairs to get it.

Qing Mu was a little confused about the battle in front of him.

She glanced at Aunt Jiang, turned around and went upstairs, and took a brocade down.

When Aunt Jiang and Aunt Jiang saw the gorgeous brocade, they no longer doubted their dumb ability; And although Qingmu has never spoken, her demeanor is calm and generous, not cowardly at all, she thinks, even if she is really dumb, she can marry.

Wu resolved her last doubts in a timely manner.

She dragged them to the kitchen to see the dumb stir-fry.

When she was dumb and stir-frying, Cai's was burning the fire, and she had to order: when to make a big fire and when to make a low fire, which had to speak, which also proved that she was not dumb.

Nguyen's Cai also deliberately did not interfere, and all the cutting vegetables and side dishes were done by themselves.

That knife worker, Aunt Jiang has consciously cooked for decades, and she can't compare to her.

After stir-frying a few dishes and showing his skills, he started the meal.

Naturally, the taste doesn't need to be repeated.

After the meal, everything came to fruition: after some discussion between the two sides, the family was decided, and it was agreed that on August 15, the second elder of the Jiang family and the matchmaker would personally lead Jiang Minghui to the Guo family to make a decision.

August 15, meaning that the members of the group, is a good day.

This qiē is dumb and dumb without knowing at all.

She had eaten and went upstairs again.

She's not lazy and doesn't work, she has serious things to do.

She's working on tapestry!

In her previous life, whether it was weaving cloth or brocade, the handicraft had been lost and was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage, and only a few old people would do it. When I was traveling in the dumb world, I was fortunate enough to see spinning wheels and looms, and I had a strong interest in Huang Daopo and her affairs. For this reason, her father helped her find a lot of information for her to refer to. But it was only for reference, and she didn't have a chance to try it for herself.

Luckily, she is interested in knitting sweaters and has a talent for them.

In this life, thanks to the blessing of the original owner, she is proficient in brocade and weaving.

The knowledge of the two worlds is integrated, and she has a grand wish: to make some achievements like Huang Daopo.

In her previous life, she tried to hide her clumsiness and try to live as plain as possible, but that's it.

In this life, she wants to change her life, and if she can shine, she doesn't mind being noticed by thousands of people.

So, after she bought pen and paper, she immersed herself in designing the brocade pattern.

The design of the tapestry is complicated, starting with a grid diagram of the criss-crossing warp and weft lines on the paper, and drawing a pattern on it. Each vertical square represents a colored warp, and each horizontal square represents a colored weft. The more complex the pattern, the more varied. The more colors involved, the more complex the design.

In her previous life, she used to draw this kind of picture, but it was designed for knitting sweaters.

She can use two bamboo needles, plus a crochet needle, to weave sweaters involving six or seven color patterns, which is even more elaborate than the machine qì knits.

But the thinnest threads used to weave sweaters are also many times thicker than silk and yarn. Therefore, if you want to weave the same pattern, you must not only enlarge the creative picture many times, but also consider the function of the machine, or improve the loom, otherwise, it is useless to add improvements arbitrarily.

First of all, it's a job that requires a lot of hard work.

Perseverance over the years is a must, otherwise just staring at the dense grid diagram will make people dizzy, not to mention the design pattern changes and brocade methods.

Dumb does not lack perseverance and perseverance, and can sit still.

When she does something with her heart, she usually has no distractions.

Secondly, it's a creation that requires a lot of inspiration.

The aura of the dumb in this area is not compelling, and it is much more than ordinary people.

She is confident that she can make a difference.

In fact, she quickly proved her ability: on the basis of the existing conditions, she designed her own pattern and was able to weave it with ease. What she showed to Aunt Jiang and them before was what she knitted a few days ago.

What she is doing right now involves the idea of improving the loom.

This one is hard! Hard! Hard!

Therefore, Aunt Jiang and they come and go, and she doesn't know anything.

was buried in front of the table, Guo Qiao and Guo Jian came up.

I called "sister-in-law" twice, but I didn't get a response.

Guo Qiao has become accustomed to it, and he keeps asking and answering himself.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" She asked, leaning down on the table.

"Sister-in-law, do you make a dowry?" She replied to herself.

"What kind of dowry is this?" Guo Jian looked at the drawings and was puzzled.

"Sister-in-law, will you come back after you get married?" Guo Qiao asked again.

"Sister-in-law, I'll marry you together." The little girl is reluctant to give up her aunt.

"You can't marry until you're older." Guo Jian said.

"Sister-in-law, where is the Jiang family?" Guo Qiao asked.

"Far away, far away. It's going to be a day's boat ride. "Guo Jian is an expert.

"Nonsense!"

The two babies argued.

Qing Du was shocked at this time, and raised his head to look at Guo Qiao.

Guo Qiao hurriedly asked the question just now.

Qing Du asked, "Who said that?" ”

Guo Qiao hurriedly said: "Mother said it." ”

Guo Jian also said: "Grandma also said it." ”

Dumb can't be indifferent.

Could it be that the two women had come to be her matchmakers?

What Jiang family?

Just as he was wondering, there was a quarrel downstairs, which seemed to be talking about it.

She thought about it, carefully rolled up the drawings on the table, put away the pen and ink, and then led the second child downstairs one by one.
