The third woman rushed to Hejia Village, forty miles away, to Tianxi Zhang Luo, a girl who could read and write.

"Is Mr. Ho at home? Is Mr. Ho at home? The third aunt shouted while banging on the door, and a deep and hoarse voice came from the house, "At home, at home" The old man He who opened the door was wearing glasses, with a long goatee on his thin face, wearing a long gown, wearing glasses, his face was full of wrinkles, and he looked like an old pedant.

The third aunt said with a smile: "Mr. He, do you know my old wife?" Haha". "The third aunt is here, I know you, who doesn't know your third aunt in this hundred miles? Hehe, please come in, come in". The third aunt said; "Haha, not busy, not busy, Mr. He is a well-known cultural person within a radius of 100 miles, remember my old wife, I really have a light on my face." The two of them exchanged pleasantries.

The third aunt continued; "Mr. He, you also know that our matchmaker will not come without a matchmaker, and you should have guessed my intention to come today." "Yes, yes, the third aunt must have come for the little girl's marriage!" The third aunt said; "Yes, Mr. He, I have an excellent family affair that belongs to your girl.

Old man He took over and said: "Third aunt, don't joke with me, an old man, everyone knows that the little girl has been weak since she was a child, and there are only two or three kittens who come to propose marriage at the age of twenty, and I only have such an only daughter, and her mother and I are also very worried!" ”

Hahaha Sangu smiled and said: "Mr. He doesn't have to worry, good flowers will naturally be picked by someone, not to mention who doesn't know that Mr. He is rich and rich, and your daughter is also a famous lady, no matter who she marries, they are high!" Old man He hurriedly said;" The third aunt is really awarded, I don't ask for rich and noble people, as long as I live a good life with Feng Ying, it is best to be a cultural person, then I will be content! ”

The third aunt said with a smile; "Mr. He is really a blessed man, do you know Fangshan Village?" Old man He nodded hurriedly and said, "I know, I heard that a new school has been built in Fangshan Village, and even female dolls can go to school!" This is a good thing, because today's young people are more flexible in their minds and more advanced in their thinking than our generation. ”

"Hahaha yes, then do you know who asked me to propose to your family today?" The third aunt asked with a smile, Old Man He hurriedly shook his head and said that he would like to hear it, and the third aunt said; "If I say this family matter, you will definitely agree, that is, Gu Tianxi, the son of the head of Fangshan Village, is also the teacher of this new school, and he did it to make the fact that the girl can also study, hahaha."

When Old Man He heard that the other party was also a scholar, his eyes suddenly lit up, his lips trembled a little, and he asked in disbelief, "Third aunt, what you said is true, you are not joking with me, an old man, right?" "With such conditions as the Gu family, can you take a fancy to my daughter?" The third aunt smiled and said: "So you are blessed to be old, and your marriage is destined, Mr. He, you don't know, his son is also a strong head, so he has to find a girl who can read and write." The girl who can find a literate girl in this neighborhood is none other than your family hahaha."

"Oh! I see, since this is the case, I have settled this family business, I don't tell you, I am not willing to marry the little girl to the old rough who can only farm, I really can't ask for this family business, after the third aunt is completed, my old man will definitely give you a big red envelope. ”

The third aunt smiled and said: "That's my credit, this is all a marriage destined by God, I'm just helping you run errands hahaha!" "Old man He said;" The third aunt really knows how to speak ». The third aunt looked inside and outside the house and asked; "By the way, Mr. He, why haven't you seen your wife and daughter since I came to your house for a long time?" Old man He replied: "They went to the next village early in the morning to visit their relatives, thinking that they should also come back at this time." ”

The third aunt and the old man He were chatting, and a girl of about eighteen or nineteen years old and a chubby middle-aged woman in her fifties walked in the door.

The little girl wore a thick and long braid, her skin was better than snow, and she was wearing a pink floral gown and a lake blue tulle loose flower skirt, although the clothes were a little old but very clean. Thin and curved willow eyebrows, a pair of big watery eyes, like a pool of clear water, a high nose bridge, cherry mouth, gentle and exquisite, but very thin, a weak look.

"Daddy" she shouted softly, hey! Old man He agreed. Old man He hurriedly introduced to the third aunt that this was a cheap girl and a little girl, and said on the side; "The old woman is the third aunt, the famous matchmaker here, who is here to tell Feng Ying about her mother-in-law's family." Hey, hey, Feng Yingniang agreed to look at the third aunt on the side.

Feng Ying stood aside with a blushing face, bowing her head and saying nothing. The third aunt hurriedly said, "I only heard that Mr. He had a literate girl before, but when I saw him today, hey, my God, it's so handsome, my third aunt told people that I've never seen such a beautiful girl in my life, just like the person who came out of the painting, hehe, Tianxi is really blessed." Feng Ying lowered her head shyly. Feng Yingniang hurriedly said; "The third aunt is really a winner, my girl is weak, and we still expect the third aunt to tell us Feng Ying about family affairs!" The third aunt said with a smile; "Such a good girl, are you afraid that no one wants it? I'm afraid that the queue can be ten miles away, I'm here to tell you about family affairs today, haha! ”

Old man He said to Feng Ying: "Girl, do you know? Gu Tianxi, the son of the village chief of Fangshan Village, proposed to you, it was the young man who built a school and became a teacher, and people said that they liked you to read. ”

"Dad", Feng Ying shouted, Dad's face was even redder and his head lowered, Old Man He said; "What are you shy? Such a good family affair can't be found with a lantern, it's our family that has climbed high, and it is really a blessing for you to marry into the ancient family, girl, you have to cherish it! Feng Yingniang hurriedly echoed when she heard this; Yes, yes, of course we can't ask for such a good son-in-law as the third aunt, but I'm afraid that we Fengying can't climb others. ”

The third aunt hurriedly said: "Oh, old sister-in-law, what are you talking about, what are you going to climb high and low, such a beautiful girl marrying them is the blessing of their ancient family, but Tianxi is really a handsome guy, and your girl is really a talented girl, a natural pair, this is really a good match!" ”

Old man He asked Feng Ying; "Girl, do you agree with this family business? After all, it is your own lifelong event, you think it out yourself, and you say your own family affairs."

Feng Ying bit her lip and nodded and ran into the house, Feng Yingniang smiled and said, "Third aunt, you see, you know that you are shy haha," and the three of them laughed.

Old man He stood up and said to the third aunt; "The third aunt's marriage is so decided, please go to the Gu family to reply to the letter!" "Okay, good," the third aunt nodded in agreement, and the smile on her face turned into a flower.

At night, Feng Ying lay in the quilt and couldn't sleep, her face was hot, she imagined Tianxi's appearance, she was happy and ashamed in her heart, thinking that she could finally marry a scholar, or such an ideal man, although she had never met, Feng Ying felt that she had fallen in love with this man, her heart kept pounding, she thought about it all night, and was ashamed all night.

The Gu family was busy, passing the papers, sending dowries, decorating the house to prepare for the new daughter-in-law.

The ancient village chief said to Tianxi while busy; "I'm glad that you will become an adult when you become a family, but you can't be a child anymore, the family will rely on you in the future, and you will be the pillar of the family in the future, my father is old, and I will wait to hold my grandson in the future and enjoy my old age in peace!" Tianxi said: "I know Dad, don't worry, I won't let you worry about it in the future." The village chief said: "Don't worry about other things first, the most important thing is for you to let your father hold his grandson as soon as possible, haha."

Tianxi blushed and said, "What did Dad say, it's not serious, don't scare the bride." The village chief said with a smile; "Haha, I know how to protect my daughter-in-law before I get married, and people say that women don't stay, and in my opinion, men don't stay either." "Oh, Dad, you're really not serious..."

The father and son were chatting, and Tianhui came back with two pieces of cloth from outside and asked; "Daddy, you said it looks good to make clothes out of that cloth? I'm going to make a new dress for my brother to wear on the day he gets married, and I think the red dress looks good and festive, right, Dad. ”

Tianxi teased; "My sister is my daughter-in-law, and it's not you who got married, why are you more anxious than me." Hahaha the village chief said with a smile; "Tianhui, are you envious of your brother's marriage? Don't worry, when your brother finishes becoming a father, he will give you Zhang Luo, and I will definitely find you a handsome young man who is good to my daughter. Tianhui said with a flushed face; : Dad, what did you say? Always making fun of me, I was going to help you choose clothes, but now I ignore you and choose my own. With that, he ran back to his house.

The village chief then said to Tianxi; "Tianxi, in fact, my father is also a little worried, I heard that the girl is not in good health, my father doesn't expect her to do any heavy work, I'm afraid that I won't be able to give birth to a child, your mother died early, I will have such a son as you, I hope that my daughter-in-law can have a few more, but don't let our ancient family die."

Dad, what are you worried about all day? Do you see that your son is so blessed, like a childless man? It's a big deal. Gu Guang nodded and said; That's right, that's my son's blessing, it's a pity that your mother can't see you getting married, otherwise how happy our family is, now only I am the old man. After Gu Guang finished speaking, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Tianxi hurriedly comforted; "Dad, don't be sad, I believe that my mother will definitely watch us protect us from heaven, and she will be happy for me." After speaking, he patted Gu Guang on the shoulder. Gu Guang nodded and said with a smile; "Dad, don't be sad, Dad, has such a good pair of children as you, and it is also a blessing from God, now you are going to marry a new daughter-in-law, and it is too late for Dad's to be happy."

Tianxi nodded and said; "Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of you and my sister in the future, and I will also make the school better and better, and strive to let the children from nearby villages come to our mountain to go to school."

Gu Guang smiled and patted Tianxi's shoulder and said; "Good boy, Dad believes in you, you can definitely do it."
