"Eldest sister, we're here to get married, not to stir up trouble and make enemies, right?"

Wang Chen is an artist, yes, but at the same time, he is also more politically minded, and after hearing Hu Wen's inquiry, his first reaction was that there was something between the two princes' mansions! The second reaction was that it was my! I'm not interested in getting involved. I agree with the emancipation of women, and everyone loves the little widow, but when it comes to the wife who is marrying her own media, it is better to follow traditional habits.

In fact, Hu Wen was quite speechless about this request, and said in her heart that we look too good at talking, even the widows and orphans are forgotten, and even the widows are stuffed to our side. But since people came to the door and sincerely pleaded, then she had to come and ask, after all, Wang Chen was the main master, and she couldn't refuse on her behalf.

At this time, seeing that Wang Chen really didn't have any interest, he also nodded:

"Okay, I know, it's okay to refuse."

As he spoke, he was about to leave, but when he was leaving, he suddenly remembered that he was still holding something in his hand, so he shoved it into Wang Chen's hand:

"Ah, by the way, the family said thank you for sending that picture, and also gave you one, which was painted by the girl herself, so it can be regarded as a return gift."

In fact, the people of the Chengguo Mansion also said a lot of things, such as that in addition to the dowry that the Zhu family originally brought to the Xu family, they can also make up another copy of the Chengguo Mansion, and they will marry a few more beautiful girls...... It seems that their family is also quite desperate to push their daughter out of the fire pit. There are many conditions that even Hu Wen hears in the clouds, but thinking about it, this side is not the master who is short of money, and the Qiong Navy is not allowed to keep slaves, so he doesn't bother to mention it. It didn't matter if it was just this painting, so I handed it over casually.

Of course, Hu Wen also took a look at it in advance, and it was not something that was easy to arouse tongues such as self-painted small portraits - after all, she was originally a dignified lady and a well-known festival woman in history, so she would definitely not do such a frivolous act. It's just an ink painting, the same painting of the house. More she doesn't understand.

And Wang Chen didn't think much about it when he took the scroll and opened it, and he was interested in commenting a few words:

"Ha, the level is not bad, the lines and smudges are in place, a bit of Chinese painting skills...... Uh-huh, without this bit of talent to kill time, the days of widowhood are not easy to survive......"

As he spoke, his voice gradually deepened, and he didn't know what he remembered. Hu Wen was stunned when she saw him, and she didn't bother to care. was about to turn back, but Wang Chen suddenly raised his head and stopped her:

"Wait...... Belch...... Sister, have you ever seen her in person? ”

Hu Wen shook her head:

"No, how can we let a widow show her face when we go to a blind date's house."

"That'...... Can you find a way to meet each other, and it would be better to take a picture or something......"

Wang Chen's request made Hu Wen frown:

"Xiao Wang, you know what you are asking for...... It's going to make it hard for us. Do you think it's worth it? ”

"It's difficult, but it's not impossible for you, big sister, right? As for whether it's worth it...... I would like to decide after meeting myself. ”

Wang Chen has always been quite arrogant, but this time he actually slapped Hu Wen's ass, and the latter glared at him a few times. Finally nodded:

"Okay, I'll try to do it...... I really don't understand you guys playing art, and you never know which string in your head will suddenly be electrified! ”

…………

Although she promised to help Wang Chen deal with the matter, Hu Wen was not in a hurry and immediately went to Xu's house to take pictures of the little widow. The people of the Chengguo Mansion only said that they could consider it, and they did not refuse it in one go.

Next, she still followed the steps, still according to the original plan, and was busy arranging the mandarin duck score for everyone - both parties had the intention of getting married. But it has not been determined who is against whom. According to the customs of this era, it is impossible for both men and women to meet and choose on their own, and it is the elders who have the final say after seeing it.

On that day in the Yongkang Hou Mansion, all the male suitors showed their faces in front of the woman's parents. But frankly, it is very difficult to expect the Ming aristocrats to be able to tell the difference between these modern lads just by meeting them for the first time, and the short hairs seem to them to be about the same—as if foreigners were basically flat faces when they first looked at Chinese Americans.

And vice versa - that day, Hu Wen, as the representative of the man, also saw all the girls, but her feeling was the same: anyway, they were all peach and willow green, cloud and sideburns, and a group of Ming Dynasty palace ladies were really eye-catching when they got together, but they couldn't even figure out the names when they were mixed together, and later Hu Wen didn't dare to take the initiative to find a topic, lest she call the wrong person to make a joke.

So this meeting is just a meeting, and it's still far from really making a decision. The other party doesn't mind too much, anyway, as long as he can marry Shorthair. But Hu Wen didn't want to be so casual and perfunctory, the women's federation organization she led volunteered to take over the leadership of the marriage this time, of course, she hoped to make everyone as satisfied as possible, instead of pulling people back in a daze and then making a bunch of resentful couples come out - if it's just a grudge couple, in case the boys are not satisfied with the distribution of their women's federation, they will rematch in private...... That's a shame and a big loss.

Therefore, Hu Wen is now very seriously pulling in Zhu Yueyue, Su Duxue and other assistants to make personal information cards for all boys and girls. This is the good experience she learned when she participated in the "Solving the Problem of Older Youth" in the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions: the man's conditions, the woman's conditions, the man's requirements, the woman's requirements...... Once you enter the profile card, you can see everything at a glance. According to the old-timer of the General Labor Union: Matching according to these conditions, at least in terms of external conditions, the difference will not be too outrageous.

Of course, young people often have to pay attention to what "feels", which is not something that the matchmakers can handle, but if it can't be made up because of "it doesn't feel right", then it's not to blame the introducer, right? So Hu Wen still decided to follow this route diligently.

But it's quite difficult to make a data card.,The man is fine.,Anyway, they're all acquaintances.,Temperament and personality know everything.。 The woman was in trouble, and just relying on bits and pieces to inquire about some news, coupled with the hurried meeting that day, it was not enough to build a database. Therefore, it is necessary to go to a separate house for a private visit—those concerned families are very welcome to this kind of visit, so that many conditions and requirements that are not made public in private can be stated, and the girls of each family meet separately, and the impression is naturally much deeper.

…………

The sound of cars is sparkling, and on the streets of Beijing in winter, a richly decorated four-wheeled carriage is struggling to move forward - there was just a light snow yesterday, and there are basically no roads hardened in Beijing at this time, and a little rain and snow means that the roads will be muddy for several days. Neither people nor animals can only struggle in the mud, and neither do the wheels.

However, the ladies in the carriage were not affected, anyway, the places where they went in and out were paved with bluestone slabs, and if necessary, they could be temporarily covered with felt, so that their shoes could not be dirty.

The carriage was very spacious, and it could seat six passengers when squeezed, but at this time there were only four inside: Hu Wen, Zhu Yueyue, Su Duxue, and Wu Shanggong - although Wang Jiaojiao was not interested in getting involved in this matter of the Women's Federation, she finally agreed to lend her right-hand man for the time being. Otherwise, Hu Wen may not have the courage to visit those people's homes. After all, she didn't know anything about the social etiquette of this era, even if she hired a consultant from the Qian family, it was impossible to follow them into the inner house to make suggestions.

It would be much better to have a former female official who came out of the court to lead, in addition to helping in terms of etiquette, Wu Shanggong can also make an objective evaluation of those little girls according to the standards of ladies in this era, which is also very helpful to Hu Wen and them.

"Hey, it's been really hard for Xiao Wu these days, and I must wrap a big red envelope when I go back."

After all, she has been a leader, and Hu Wen knows very well how to stimulate the enthusiasm of employees - any commendation and honor are false, but the silver cake is real. Sure enough, as soon as this sentence was said, I saw that Wu Shanggong was dazzled and smiling, although he had been mixed with short-haired for so long, it was still difficult to adapt to their straightforward style of acting after all. Unconsciously covered his cheeks with a handkerchief, and said shyly:

"You are too polite, Miss Wang's salary is already generous enough."

"What is hers is hers, we are ours, and you also know that we are all paid according to work, and we should be paid for our time and energy."

Hu Wen insisted as a matter of course, and Wu Shanggong just said a few words in his mouth, how could he really not want it? At this time, he heard Su Duxue next to him frowning and said:

"The Qian consultant we are hiring, how can he be mixed with Guo Yilin and Hanlong during this time? It's so irresponsible!"

Hu Wen knew a little about the situation and said tolerantly:

"Recently, he has been assisting in our negotiations with the Ming Dynasty on business and trade cooperation. Men, always thinking about doing big things, participating in the trivial matters of our parents, probably feel embarrassed. ”

"I'm not afraid of losing face when I reach for my consulting fees...... Since they are helping Guo Yi and them, this expense should not go from the account of our Women's Federation! Yueyue, after going back, make the accounts to the political PR expenses up! ”

Compared with Su Duxue's righteous indignation, Zhu Yueyue, who was in charge of the team's finances, had an indifferent attitude:

"Ahh......h It should be Anna's business to jump her feet, let's just spend money. ”

A few people muttered a few words, and the topic turned to the next trip:

"Eh, I've finally got another household, where should we go tomorrow?"

"Let me see the memo...... Well, it is Wu Pingbo Chen Yongshou's family. ”

"Is their daughter called Jin Niang or Jin Jing? I forgot. ”

"Chen Jinniang, Liu Jinjin is the second lady of Ning Jinbo's Liu Tianxi family."

"Wu Pingbo's Chen family, Ning Jinbo's Liu family...... That's all there is left, right? There are only six or seven in total, otherwise you will be really tired to death. ”

"Didn't you say that there were two more? The Chengguo Mansion has already taken up a place, and the remaining one, I heard that they are negotiating internally. (To be continued.) )
