63. Blind date scene
The direct consequence of not sleeping at night is waking up late the next day.
After a period of chaos, plus a few big eyes of the He family, Yang Liu and Xiuxiu finally cleaned up. With Wei Wei's hat, Yangliuhe Xiuxiu was escorted by Li Cong and set off first.
It is very conspicuous to wear a hat in the tunzi, so not long after leaving the tunzi, Yang Liu brought Wei Maocai a hat to Xiuxiu, and asked her if the yarn was thick and could not see people clearly.
When it came to the end, Xiuxiu calmed down instead, answered Yang Liu's question with a smile, and advised her not to be nervous.
"How can I be nervous?" Yang Liu retorted. She wasn't nervous, just a little curious and excited. For the first time in her life, she visited other people's blind dates, and she was very curious, what is the difference between ancient blind dates?
"Or do I also wear a veil?" Her face is still a little well-known in the town, so it's hard to guarantee that it won't attract the attention of others, so it's better to plan more.
"Lady, what you said was to be a maid for Xiuxiu"
In places like Basin Town, because it is far away from the country, the folk customs are relatively rough and open, such as Yang Liu did not wear a hijab on the day she married into the Li family, and even the boudoir women of large families rarely wear hats when traveling. Li Cong was afraid that Yang Liu would make a mistake and have a strong sense of substitution for Xiuxiu's marriage.
It was precisely because of Yang Liu's observation that she built YƬ Xiuxiu to pretend to be the eldest lady, and she was Xiuxiu's personal maid. Less is not equal to nothing, and an extra layer of yarn can also block some unnecessary troubles.
"It's not simple, just say that I have acne on my face, and it's good to see the wind." Yang Liu quickly made an excuse, but then hesitated, "Then don't I have to stand behind Xiuxiu all the time?" ā
The maid of the Yang Mansion seems to be like this. Standing all the time, doesn't this cost her her life? Who knows how long they'll have to talk?
"No, I don't. When the time comes, you'll just be able to sit. Xiuxiu smiled: "We are not really masters and servants, why do we care so much?" ā
Also. When Xiuxiu and her are covered with a hat and a veil, who knows who they are, even gossip will not be able to spread.
The play is complete, and yesterday I let the carriage of the Yang Mansion wait in the place where it just came out of the tunzi, and I also changed to a coachman with a raw eye. Li Cong couldn't rest assured, so he didn't follow, but only promised not to add to the chaos, and obediently stayed in the carriage and waited for them to come back.
Arrived at the place. Yang Liu got out of the carriage first, and then respectfully stood sideways and said to Xiuxiu, "The eldest lady has arrived." ā
With a sigh, Xiuxiu got out of the carriage, put one hand on Yang Liu's wrist, and slowly came down on the footstool. A qiÄ is very smooth, but when Xiuxiu landed, she accidentally stepped on the corner of her skirt and almost pounced forward.
Yang Liu supported her in time, while paying attention to the looks of the people around her. While whispering to her to be careful.
Xiuxiu's face under the hood was also frightened, she had never worn such a long skirt, and she didn't expect the skirt to be so dangerous.
When Xiuxiu stood firm, Yang Liu let go. Staggered the distance of one step, and his eyes motioned for Xiuxiu to continue the performance.
"It's this tea house." Xiuxiu steadied her mind.
Yang Liu glanced up and said with certainty: "This is the place where the appointment was made." ā
"Let's go." Xiuxiu should be the first to take the lead.
As soon as I entered the tea house. Yang Liu plays the role of a dedicated and discerning maid: the teacups and teapots have to be washed again, and the bench and table have to be wiped several times. Also use a clean rag until the rag has not changed color. and said that if it weren't for their young lady's thirst. How could you pick this place to drink tea, and ordered Xiao Er to wait.
It wasn't until the eldest lady with the hood said yes that she stopped being picky in dissatisfaction.
"Which lady from this family came out of the house who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, and came to our small tea house to pick thorns?" Xiao Er muttered while boiling water to soak the tea, and people said that the tea should be soaked in boiling water three times before it can be served.
"Give me the money they gave me, and let me be angry." The second child next to him couldn't look at it and said. Give it to him, and he would rather suffer this anger. Picky is picky, but you can't stand up to people being rich, and being rich these years is an uncle.
"Don't work brother, don't bother the two masters, I'll let it next time I have a chance, next time." Holding the tea leaves that had been brewed three times, Xiao Er quickly slipped away.
"Phew, net can say decent things."
"Sister-in-law, isn't it too eye-catching for us to do this?" Xiuxiu whispered.
Which of the serious ladies will come to this kind of small teahouse to drink tea in a dizzy brain, and drink tea in the big teahouse, decent and clean, but they have limited money, since they appear here to find a suitable reason, it is not abrupt. This was something that Yang Liu came up with after thinking about it all night, and specially asked Xiuxiu to help comb a double bun, and used a picky maid to set off the reasonableness of the eldest lady, Yang Liu felt that she was so great.
After sitting down and drinking a few glasses of water slowly, Yang Liu felt hungry, and paid for Xiao Er to run errands to buy two bowls of wontons to fill his stomach.
Yang Liu whispered to Xiuxiu while eating, "I forgot to ask when we met, let's not just sit here and drink tea all morning." ā
"I don't remember exactly, it seems like it wasn't too late."
"That's going to be soon, too." Yang Liu turned around and ordered some refreshments, and ate slowly with Xiuxiu.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for He's Yu to walk in with a woman in her fifties, and Yang Liu hurriedly whispered to remind Xiuxiu.
He first swept around the people in the teahouse, and finally determined that the one who winked at her was Yang Liu, and the one wearing the hat was naturally Xiuxiu. felt that they were still very thoughtful, because this matter was not in order, He didn't tell Jia, but He still nodded slightly when he sat down.
"The person next to me is my aunt." Because Yang Liu hadn't seen Jia's family, Xiuxiu said something.
This willow was speculated, and looking at the person from a distance, he felt that dressing was very simple and atmospheric, but he had a good impression of the other party. It's a relative who is close to each other, and the person who wants to introduce Xiuxiu is not far behind.
As soon as I ordered a pot of tea and a few snacks, a woman in her forties walked in with a teenager. Seeing Jia Shi, he immediately sat down opposite them in a few steps.
Although there are a few tables apart, Yang Liu is in a better position. Naturally, he saw the young master clearly, and immediately stabbed Xiuxiu's arm lightly. "It looks pretty good, but I don't know if it's an old eight-strand sour look."
Xiuxiu didn't pay attention to the latter sentence at all. Her attraction is all in the previous sentence. Hurriedly turned his head sideways and looked at the man, the light gauze was very thin, but it was still a little obstructive to his vision, Xiuxiu didn't really see it. Since Yang Liu said that the other party's appearance is not bad, it must not be bad, she is still a little relieved, "Is it a short man?" ā
"It doesn't look like she's going to be short." Yang Liu said: "It's as white as a little white face." "Xiucai is all studying at home, and if he doesn't go to the field, how can he be short? It's even whiter than the young lady of a big family. Hum. With a little white face, Yang Liu scolded again.
"What else?" Xiuxiu asked again, "How are the people?" "After caring about the appearance, I finally remembered the inner character, too, who was not fascinated by a skin when they were young?
Come on, she doesn't know lip language, how do you know? He and Yu sat with their backs to her, and she couldn't see the expressions on their faces clearly, but that Jia looked quite happy.
"I'll have to go over and see what they have to say." Yang Liu is not at ease. Get up and walk over.
"And me." Xiuxiu tugged on Yang Liu's sleeve, "I don't listen to what they say." ā
Yang Liu thought about it and agreed, in the final analysis, it was Xiuxiu's lifelong event. What others are saying is so wild, she has to let her listen to it herself, otherwise why are they sitting here with their heads and tails hidden? Then Yang Liu reached out and snapped his fingers.
In the morning, there was a moment of silence in the tea house, which was not crowded with people. Everyone looked at the willows. I don't know what she means.
Khan, get used to it. I thought I was eating at a restaurant.
"Sister-in-law." Unable to see her face, Xiuxiu lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Ahem." He coughed twice with pretended to be calm. Yang Liu snapped his fingers again, "Little Er, didn't you hear this girl's call?" ā
Didn't even open his mouth, so he called him over? Xiao Er, who had served before, was a little stunned.
Others think about the same, or is this a new way of noble shouting in the upper aristocratic circles?
But there was a mistake, and he snapped his fingers and called Xiao Er to slowly spread in Basin Town, which Yang Liu didn't expect.
The red-eyed little second hurriedly answered loudly, and threw the cloth on his shoulder to go to Yangliu's table.
Xiao Er, who had been serving before, also came back to his senses, trotted over quickly, and the two met halfway, and the little two who had served before had a hard ass, and he caught Xiao Er, who was red-eyed, off guard, and took advantage of this to seize the opportunity.
"It's too hot here, move our table to a ventilated position at the door." After Yang Liu finished speaking, he threw out a small silver horn, "Reward you." ā
Money can make ghosts grind, Xiao Er hurriedly thanked him, put the silver in his arms, and quickly moved the things ordered by Yang Liu to the door, which was very close to He's table. The table top and chair were wiped back and forth several times.
"Girl, are you satisfied?"
"Good work." Yang Liu nodded arrogantly.
"The girl has commands, even if you call the little one." Xiao Er bent down and took a few steps back.
Yang Liu didn't forget her role, and when she helped Xiuxiu to sit down, she heard someone at He's table say that they were arrogant.
But I'll skip it.
"Ling Gongzi is a talent at a young age, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future." Yu complimented.
The talented lady frowned, and secretly said that this person is so rude to speak, what is the future, her son's future is limitless. The more people who want to walk in the officialdom, the more sensitive they are, and they often have to come up with multiple meanings in one sentence. Na Xiucai smiled: "Thank you sister-in-law Ji Yan." The younger generation has limited knowledge, so he should try his best to study hard, and he should not be praised by his sister-in-law. ā
"Deserved, deserved." Yu smiled from ear to ear, "In the future, our two families will become a family, and my dog and my tired little brother will teach me a lot." ā
Yang Liu and Xiuxiu looked at each other, and they were both attracted by this so-called Zhang Xiucai's magnetic voice, which was so good!
The Yu family has said so, and the He family, who is a mother, can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. She was also quite satisfied with Zhang Xiucai, so she said directly: "The little girl is fourteen years old this year, and she is in October and Xu, and the female workers are outstanding in cooking skills and handsome." Of course, who doesn't boast about the goodness of her children? The eldest sister has time to go to Lijiatun to walk around and listen, if it is agreeable, the family affairs of the two young people will be settled, and it will be okay for us to be old people. ā
"Wait." Xiucai Niang stretched out a hand and said, "Did you two make a mistake?" ā
He and Yu's faces changed in unison, what do you mean by this?
Jia Shi hurriedly said: "What do you mean by this, sister?" "She's a matchmaker, and she knows both ends, so don't make an oolong incident.
"Old sister, didn't I say that our family won't talk about marrying a wife before we get a meritorious name?"
said so, but as soon as she said that she met with the Li family, Xiucai Niang also agreed, otherwise how dare she open her mouth. Jia Shi knew that if this matter was not explained clearly, the two families would definitely complain about her, so she hurriedly said: "Sister, you nodded and agreed at the beginning." ā
"I agreed." Xiucai Niang did not deny it, "But the premise is that our family will not marry before the success of our ancestors." ā
Jia Shi was anxious, "If you don't marry, what are you doing with me?" ā
"Auntie, don't worry, my mother is worried that I won't be able to focus on my schoolwork after I get married, so I said that." Zhang Chengzu explained.
"That girl played us like fools?" As soon as He heard Xiu Cainiang speak, he was worried in his heart, if he didn't agree, he would be fine with one sentence, what did he mean now? It's not that her daughter can't get married, and she doesn't have to let him marry, so who can she show if she makes a gesture of reluctance?
"Look at what my sister said, what fool is not stupid." Xiucai Niang just said a perfunctory sentence to He's family, and then turned to Jia Shi and said, "If it weren't for our affection, I wouldn't have come today." ā
He's brother saved Zhang Chengzu's father's life back then, and this is why the two families have a relationship.
"Sister, where is there a joke about this child's family? If you don't want to, I won't force my old sister. Jia's face was a little unbearable, "Look at it now, what did you promise me to do?" ā
Regardless of whether the family affair is successful or not, there is no one who comes over without sincerity like this.
"Sister, don't panic, didn't I think about it later, the ancestor can't marry, you can take a concubine first." Xiucai Niang looked like she was planning for Jia's family.
Xiuxiu's hand resting on the table shrank, although she couldn't say how outstanding she was, and she didn't have much hope for this family matter, but in the eyes of others, she could only be a concubine?
He also felt humiliated, her daughter was not raised by a little woman, how could she be a concubine? Even if the other party is the emperor, it can't be.
"No way!" Yu was anxious, and when he heard it, he vetoed it directly. She thought that Zhang Xiu was a good person, but she didn't expect that she would be muddy, and she actually let her mother say such things? If you are not happy in your heart, just refuse politely, why make everyone look bad. And Xiuxiu is her family, and when Xiucai Niang said this, her face was gloomy. Who would have a serious daughter want to be a concubine?
"What do you dream about in broad daylight? She thought that her son was a treasure, and all the women in the world should be chosen by him, right? Yang Liu slapped the table and stood up, "I've never seen people like them, they are all dirty and haven't been cleaned, and we think we're from mud legs." Let a serious girl be a concubine, phew, and I'm embarrassed to say it. ā
Yang Liu turned the gun again, "Look at his appearance of not getting old and decrepit, he has twenty." It's not too young, why don't you have a brain just because you're tall. It sounds good to be a showman, but also a man, who can't pick up his shoulders and can't carry his back, except for knowing a few words more than others, what is possible? You don't know how to farm in the fields, you are ashamed to set up a stall and write, a useless scholar, before he gets famous, he just wants to find a rich woman to marry, and he can live a worry-free life? Hmph, the moth is embarrassed to dislike our cousin, a spineless man, even if I am a maid, I am not uncommon to marry. ā
"Miss, let's go back quickly, take a big stick and beat the matchmaker out, see if she dares to talk to our cousin about this kind of person." This strange flower, whoever touches it is unlucky, I don't want to be dyed by him. It's really a lot to say that he feels dirty in both sentences, bah. ā
Everyone watched the crackling maid pay for the tea and help her young lady disappear from sight.
Zhang Chengzu was surprised, and then he was dumbfounded, this sturdy girl insinuated him. (To be continued......)
