Chapter 162: A Contest in Disguise
"But-", Bai Lao Er scratched his head: "I'm not the same as the eldest brother at that time, thinking about my sister-in-law all day long, what else do you say, if you can't marry your sister-in-law, you will feel that life is boring-".
Boss Bai's black face immediately passed the second master of Guan Gongguan, "Dong-", another punch, and slammed his younger brother's shoulder on the other side: "Can you compare with me?" I'm honest, not like you, my head is lively, I don't care about you, whatever you think, wait until I understand my own ideas, and then find your sister-in-law! ”
People are different from each other, even if they are brothers, there are essential differences.
Let the shrewd people do it according to the shrewd approach, and the honest people will go all the way to the dark.
When Ah Yuan heard the reply, he held his stomach and smiled happily, giving Boss Bai a green light for his life as a monk, rewarding him for his "sincerity" to his daughter-in-law.
The big stage of the confusion array jointly built by the husband and wife is specially designed for the upcoming competition, 20 meters long, 15 meters wide, and one meter high, the red brick base is neat and tidy, and a two-meter-high background wall is set up behind, using colorful glazed bricks.
Under the vigorous mobilization of all of you, under the impetus of high bonuses, nine villages can sign up for the competition, the brick kiln factory is a collective participation that does not fall behind, and the task issued by the owner is: "You must get back a handsome daughter-in-law in this competition, and if you can't complete the task, there is no bonus!" ”
Is that not a loss of both people and money? The boys all held back their energy to practice their skills, and the fathers and grandparents cheered and shouted, bought clothes, cleaned up the house, and strived to make every beautiful girl pass by her own door to look twice.
The big stage is set in the confusion array, and the men and women of this village are not allowed to get close to the water and get the moon first? For this reason, Uncle Li has held many meetings in the ancestral hall to announce the discipline of the competition venue.
Every villager in the Confusion Formation. We must consciously maintain the image of maintaining the cleanliness and friendliness of the Confusion Array, so many people from other villages will pour into the Confusion Array, how to take care of their own homes, how to entertain foreign guests, that is all to be explained hand in hand.
If people from other villages can't return home because it's too late, there will be accommodation problems, and none of them can show up and it will leave a bad reputation, Uncle Li is determined to create a perfect new image of the Confused Array in this event.
A family with a son who has reached the age of marriage is called a motivated person. Pick up an empty room, ready to give a beautiful girl a temporary stay, a chance. Always reserved for those who are prepared, isn't it?
Yuan Xianling is counted as a judge, nine Li Zheng is also counted, and there are elderly people in the village, as long as they can be energetic. You have to get your seats sold.
Ah Yuan came up with another eye-catching idea, in addition to the ten judges, the participating girls can also vote for the boys, and similarly, the boys can also have a vote for their favorite girls.
It's getting more and more interesting. Every household in the ten miles and eight townships couldn't sleep as if it was the New Year, and the villagers outside the nine villages were stimulated and came to their lizheng to give advice. Weishenme doesn't have a good relationship with Li Zheng in the confusion, so that the girls and boys in his village will have one more chance to win the award?
There is a first place in each of the men's and women's competitions, and the prize money is fifty taels of silver.
That's how many farmers earn money that they may not be able to earn in a lifetime! Not to mention, it will definitely be the envy of all the villagers in the eight townships, beautiful girls and handsome young men, with the best life skills. And with the dowry fee of fifty taels of silver, who doesn't want it? Who doesn't want it?
The date of the competition. It is scheduled to start on the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May and end on the afternoon of the seventh day of May, and the award ceremony will be held accordingly.
The employees of the brick kiln factory held an all-staff mobilization meeting in advance, and the hosts were Ah Yuan and Master Jia.
That instruction is more thoughtful than my father and mother.
Especially the proprietor Ah Yuan, who analyzed the difference between aiqing and marriage for the young men, reminded the young men not to only focus on the beautiful girl, the most important thing is to observe the girl's heart, your purpose is not to fall in love, you want to get married, pay more attention to the girl who can become a good wife and mother!
The Dragon Boat Festival in May, under the common attention of dozens of villages, has arrived.
The boys who were working outside were also recruited, including Bai Laosan, who was also dressed up and waiting to perform ramen on stage.
The first day is the audition, as long as each contestant shows his or her craft work for a circle, half of the ten judges pass and can enter the second day's semi-finals.
Yuan Xianling sat in the middle of the judges' seat, smiling from ear to ear, such a unique competition had never been seen before, and he planned to personally write a piece of music and report it to the imperial court.
In the morning, it was a competition between the young men, and the audience surrounded the three layers inside and three layers outside, and it was really fortunate that the officials brought by Yuan County's order gave their strength to maintain the order of the venue step by step.
The contestants have to report themselves to their homes first, so that the audience knows which onion he grows in which field, right? Just this one, a lot of people have been brushed down.
There is no way, in public, there are too few capable people who can talk eloquently, and there are not many opportunities to show up in ancient times, and they are coaxed by so many men, women and children, nervous and speechless, trembling hands and feet and unable to walk.
Only Ah Yuan snickered on the side like a mouse that ate salt, the design of this level is what she thought, naturally, at the mobilization meeting of her own employees, she had already mentioned her face, and let the boys practice walking one by one, even the venue is the same, the stage built by yourself, don't you use it casually?
This trick is really ruthless! In one morning, of the more than 200 young men who signed up, only 60 were still standing, and most of them were brick kiln workers in a daze.
Originally, the original purpose of this event was to find them a daughter-in-law, but now, there are fewer competitors, why don't you work hard to marry the most virtuous and gentle beautiful lady home?
Now, the beauties who want to participate in the afternoon can't hold on, and their families are also anxious, if they can't pass the first level, the fifty taels of bonuses will have no fate, and they can't even get the second and third prizes!
Originally, I had to take dry food and water and rest for a noon on the ox cart or near the racetrack, but now I had to change the jihua, at the very least, let the girl rest in a secluded place, wash her face, comb her hair, change her clothes, and practice self-reporting. Don't you see? Those gray-headed and dirty young men who were in a hurry were rejected by the judges before they came on the stage before they came on the stage?
When the young men who signed up for the competition all finished the formalities, the confusion array became even more boiling, and the clever people who came out to sell food with dishes and chopsticks, and the people who put a big bowl of tea in front of the door to invite the guests to rest, were all full of people.
The adults and children in the confusion are busy, in the morning, all the girls and boys who came to the village have looked at it all over again, and there are mothers, sons, fathers and daughters who have fallen in love with each other, so they saw the opportunity to come forward and talk to their own homes.
At this moment, even if there is a matchmaker's scolding jumping on her feet, it won't work at all, and no one invites you to say goodbye, can you stop it?
Naturally, people with big daughters have to be reserved, and they have to pick a young man who is pleasing to the eye and follow the family to ask each other to agree. If you are satisfied, go to your home and take a look at each other directly, isn't it a ready-made opportunity to send in front of you? And the reason can be above board.
To Ah Yuan's surprise, Bai Laosan was led into the house by an ordinary and honest family, the daughter of this family was mediocre, her face was red, her body was also well-proportioned, her fingers were rough, and she was a standard hard-working peasant girl.
In fact, when the third child came to the stage to show his slender ramen, there were really a lot of people in the picture, and even when he came, there was a beautiful little girl who frequently secretly sent Qiu Bo to come, but unfortunately, once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and Bai Laosan was determined to find a stable daughter-in-law to stay at home.
The same goes for Little Five.
Xiao Wu's father and mother did not put forward any opinions, as long as the child is happy, he will no longer be picky about his appearance and family background, and those who have been deceived once are all vigilant!
These two babies really understand what the "pink skeleton" is all about.
The girl in the old three phases is called Xiuju, she is thirty miles away, her father can also do woodwork, her mother runs the house, the eldest brother and sister-in-law farm, and there is a little brother below, and the family situation is acceptable.
Boss Bai was very welcome to the guests invited back by his younger brother, and hurriedly arranged to sit down and pour tea, Ah Yuan went to the stove room to arrange lunch, and saw Bai Lao Er squatting next to the stove to boil water.
"At such a lively time, why don't you go outside to invite guests? Being a monk at home? "Ah Yuan is funny, the brick kiln factory and the ironware workshop are not working today, everyone is happy for three days, and it is not too late to do the work again.
Bai Lao Er's face was confused, and his gaze at Ah Yuan was empty, as if he had seen someone else's image through Ah Yuan: "Sister-in-law, I have been to see it, but I haven't found a pleasing one." ”
In fact, he also saw the daughter of the blacksmith's family, the family that had taught him the first lesson in business, and he didn't even have any resentment, and walked over lightly without saying hello.
No matter how beautiful the beautiful village girl is, she can't see the inside of his eyes, but the smiling face of the green willow and the expression when she raised her eyelids to look at him are repeatedly replayed in front of her eyes.
Ah Yuan blinked his eyes, understood, "hehe" smiled, and went to cook by himself.
"I can tell you, if you can't make up your mind, let's get married to the third child first, and see how tightly people copy the call, when the time comes, don't worry about you, the elder brother!" Ah Yuan picked up the food and went to the main room, turned around and dropped a sentence for Bai Lao Er to weigh for himself.
