Regarding poverty, even if Shen Rui has lived two lifetimes, he has never seen it with his own eyes.

Not to mention in the previous life, even if he suffered some hardships in this life, whether it is the fourth room of the Shen family or the Xilin Zen Temple, it has nothing to do with the word "poverty". Originally, according to the official media, this carpenter's family should have a good life among the poor, but it was not until he saw it with his own eyes that Shen Rui knew what a poor person was.

The yard is quite large, there are a few zhang square circle, and there are piles of wood in sight, not new wood, most of which are dismantled by some old furniture. The pungent smell of tung oil and the rotting smell of wood greeted you.

In the courtyard, several generations of men from the old and young were based on the wood, and when they saw a guest coming, the old man came up to say a few words, and the middle-aged man and the two teenagers were shy. Generations of grandparents and grandchildren are covered with patched clothes.

The wooden lady looked at Wu Xuan and Shen Rui curiously, and happily beckoned the matchmaker into the house.

The house of this house is not a serious house, this yard should have been used for storage before, and several rooms are not much higher than the shed, and it is not a place to live for a long time.

In the room, two little girls who looked to be around the same age as Lu Ya stood beside an old woman and wrapped threads, and when they saw the guests, they all avoided behind the old woman. The smell in the house was heavier than outside, and it smelled of urine.

Shen Rui fell on his back, eager to leave immediately, and forcibly endured that Fang did not come out, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, is this a house or a toilet?

I heard an old woman in the back room say: "Big brother and daughter-in-law, who is coming?" ”

The carpenter's lady said, "Wife, it's Mother Wu who is here." ”

The man in the back room said: "Don't neglect the guests, make sugar water for your mother." ”

The carpenter's lady responded, the old woman inside was silent, and the child was crying again, and the carpenter's lady hurriedly said to the two girls: "The fifth brother is making trouble again, you go and coax the younger brother." ”

On the way before coming, Shen Rui and Wu Xuan both heard about the situation of the carpenter's house, and the people who did not show up in the house should be the carpenter's grandmother and the carpenter's youngest son. The old lady was old and collapsed on the bed. Because the house was dirty, even if the highest elder of the family was there, he would not bring guests inside. But these rooms are connected, but they are separated by thin wooden boards, and the inside is smelly, and the outside can be much better.

The two little girls trotted away, and the wooden lady gave up the matchmaker's seat, and asked her mother-in-law, that is, the tangle woman, to accompany her, and prepared tea with a big belly.

Shen Rui and Wu Xuan glanced at each other, and they had already rejected this one in their hearts.

This carpenter lady looks kind, and the grandparents and grandchildren outside look honest, and it is indeed a family. But where is the daughter-in-law of this family? The three elders above, the sister-in-law of the same age below, the infant uncle, not to mention the ten-year-old child, is an adult woman who has entered this family, and whether she can survive or not is two words. There is no end to this hard life, and I can't breathe without more than ten years of hard work.

Because they were worried about seeing the next family, the two of them didn't waste time, and Wuxuan gave the matchmaker a look.

When the tea came up, the matchmaker found a reason and brought Shen Rui and the others out to say goodbye.

The carpenter's lady sent it out in person, pulled the matchmaker and said a lot of good things, and stuffed the matchmaker with 20 yuan, which seemed to be very earnest about this family business.

Out of the carpenter's house, the matchmaker said, "The two little brothers don't like this?" This carpenter's lady is looking forward to her daughter-in-law entering the door day and night. Although their family is poor, they are kind people. The mother-in-law has been paralyzed for more than ten years, and her children and grandchildren are still filial, such a character is rare. ”

Wu Xuan said: "It's rare, but it's really hard. If Lu Ya was older, she would not be afraid of hardship; This family is waiting for labor, how can Lu Ya stand it? That lady hasn't seen Lu Ya yet, if she does, she is the size of her two sisters, and she can't stand the drive, I'm afraid she doesn't want to do it in her heart. ”

The matchmaker thought about this reason, so she stopped talking about the carpenter's family and took the two to the next house.

The two houses are not far away, that is, the front and back streets, and they arrived after walking for a while.

This courtyard is extremely narrow, similar to the small courtyard where Shen Rui first came to Daming to "recuperate", with two rooms in the north and south, the eaves are drooping down, and one side room, the roof has collapsed, revealing the wood inside. But the dilapidation is dilapidated, and the yard is cleaned up. Even if they have chickens and ducks, they are all kept in a fence in the northeast corner.

The family's surname is Zheng, and although the clothes on the old man Zheng and Mrs. Zheng's clothes are washed white, they are also clean.

When the three of them arrived, the old couple were sitting at a table in the courtyard, the old man with scissors, and the old woman with needle and thread, guarding a pile of rags.

Seeing that the matchmaker arrived, although the old woman was also happy, she was not as impatient as the carpenter's wife. After entertaining the three of them and sitting down, although the old woman was curious about the identities of the two little brothers, she didn't ask much, but said, "His aunt, can you let each other see each other over there?" ”

It turned out that although the old man was a little moved when he heard about this family matter, it was okay to combine the eight characters and the two small, but he still insisted on seeing Lu Ya before deciding.

The matchmaker only flattered the inn, but forgot about this stubble. Hearing this, the matchmaker glanced at Wuxuan and Shen Rui, and said, "It's not that the two little brothers are coming over, they just want to take a look at their nephew." ”

The old woman is afraid that her granddaughter-in-law is not good, and she wants to see it with her own eyes, she is talking about looking at her own family, where is looking at her own family? However, as soon as the matchmaker spoke, the two little brothers looked at it and were magnificent, and the old woman said: "The eldest brother went to the shop and asked his grandfather to call him back." "Anyway, tell her old man to go out and call someone.

Of the four families mentioned by the matchmaker, only the last one remains. The matchmaker also hopes to make the family affair done, and she will get Xie Mediayin as soon as possible, and in front of the old lady, she will praise Lu Ya: "This Sister Lu really has no choice in appearance, but she has suffered in the past few years, and she looks thinner, but her body is strong, and she is skilled in laundry and cooking." ”

The old woman just smiled and said, "His aunt said yes, that's naturally really good." It's just that this person also talks about fate, and it is good to see each other. ”

The official media just passed on the word, so they looked at Wuxuan.

Wu Xuan grinned, looked at the rags on the table and said, "Grandma, what is this for?" ”

The old woman said: "Make a sachet." It's just to make a few small bucks, and you can't eat rice. ”

There are a few people who wear sachets every day, but they buy a sachet before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, and Wuxuan said: "It's only February." ”

The official media said: "The aunt should not be too tired, the nephew is a partner, and the nephew and daughter-in-law have also entered the door, and the aunt and uncle can enjoy the blessings." ”

The old woman shook her head and said, "It's not the blessed life, while you can still move, you always have to save a few dollars for the eldest brother." ”

The matchmaker and the old woman had a match, and while they were talking, Shen Rui and Wuxuan also made eye contact. Although I haven't seen this grandson yet, with the diligence and rigidity of the two grandparents, this raised grandson should not be wrong.

After a while, the old man brought the Zheng family boy back. This kid from the Zheng family is not tall and loyal, but there is a bit of cleverness between his eyebrows and eyes. At a young age, he was able to apprentice, which shows that he is not a dull person. When he saw the guests, he didn't twist, and his speech was quite smooth.

Wuxuan was naturally satisfied, and saw that this old woman Zheng repeatedly emphasized the matter of "looking at each other", and she didn't want to leave a mustard in the old man's heart for this, so he said: "If Grandma doesn't think the inn is too crowded, just go over with us to eat tea." ”

Mrs. Zheng was stunned for a moment, then showed joy and looked at the matchmaker.

The matchmaker would not stop her, and Mrs. Zheng hurriedly said: "The old arm and leg are old, ask the eldest brother to help me go with me." ”

The kid of the Zheng family should know what to do when he goes to the inn, and his face is red, which shows a little juvenile childishness. Shen Rui watched coldly, and couldn't help but be a little bottomless. When the kid reached the age of the young Mu Ai, Lu Ya's seven or eight-year-old shriveled appearance, what if the Zheng family was not in love? Wouldn't that be here to stay?

He was thinking too much.

Even if the Zheng family knew that she was a child daughter-in-law, they didn't expect to marry a big girl to enter the door. Seeing that Lu Ya was clean, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and she was also honest between answers, Mrs. Zheng immediately took off a silver bracelet and put it on Lu Ya, and pulled the matchmaker aside to ask for the hired silver.

The matchmaker originally saw that the Zheng family was thin and wanted two taels, but when she saw that Mrs. Zheng gave the bracelet, she doubled the price. is not deliberately pleasing the inn, but deliberately pulling the Zheng family. She had sharp eyes, and she could see that Lu Ya had met a true and good person. I also heard the inn's Xiao Er privately mention that Wu Xuan and Shen Rui have bought a lot of things from outside in the past few days, most of which are dowries for the little girl.

When he heard that he was going to ask for four taels, the old man hesitated for a moment, but nodded in response.

In the afternoon of the same day, Mrs. Zheng and the old man of the Zheng family scraped together silver coins, all broken silver, and a few strings of money.

The previous letter of commitment between Wang Shouren and Lu Ya was written about the adoption relationship, and Wang Shouren was in charge of life and death. Now that he signed a marriage letter with the Zheng family, he needed Wang Shouren to come forward, and the matchmaker was the matchmaker, and the innkeeper was invited to be a Chinese, and the marriage letter was officially signed.

The Zheng family's hired silver is four taels, and Wuxuan prepared things for Lu Ya according to the standard of eight taels, and Shen Rui also saw the purchasing power of silver at this time. Except for a dressing table, a pair of boxes that are large, the rest are bits and pieces, four pieces of cloth, four new bedding, four sets of new clothes, and the rest are silver bracelets, silver hairpins, silver earrings, and silver rings in pairs. At this time, silver was a hard currency, and it was extremely cheap to use for one's body. The above ones are just more than five taels of silver, and the remaining two taels of silver, Wuxuan added some more, and exchanged two pieces of money for pressing the box.

When it came to the day of marriage, it was still the Wuxuan fabric, although the Zheng family was tight, but the only grandson was happy, and he still invited a sedan chair to carry people, but he didn't expect to not only carry back the little bride, but also carry the dowry full of eight.

How many people envy it, that is, a middle-class family marries a daughter, and that's it.

For Wang Shouren, this was just a small thing he did afterwards. As far as Shen Rui is concerned, he looked at the Zheng family boy twice. The Zheng family boy is a buddy in the cloth village, which is only a hundred miles away from Songjiang, and this person can pay attention to it......
