In the early summer of 1087, Liu Sanbian, who was 20 years old at the time, had to bid farewell to the comfortable life of Bianjing, heeded the call of his heart, and went to Hangzhou.

One evening, Liu Sanbian was called home by his father Liu Yi, he entered the door and looked, dumbfounded, there were many guests at home, most of them didn't know, but there was an elderly woman in red and green who was very eye-catching, and he had a premonition that things were not good. After Liu San said hello in a wholesale manner, he sat down to drink tea with him.

The matchmaker praised with a smile on her face: "I heard that the son of the Liu family is filial and famous, not bad!" ”

Liu Sanbian listened to the matchmaker, not at all like others described, the tongue is like a spring, the birds in the sky can be coaxed down, and the voice is creepy to listen like a crow. The matchmaker is just the opposite, her voice is pleasant, the content is decent, and it is not offensive, and Liu Sanbian agrees with her praise in her heart.

Mother continued: "Our Liu family, scholarly, rigorous family style, filial piety, of course!" ”

That's right, my mother didn't boast, what she said was also the truth, Liu Sanbian admired her mother, not only is she beautiful, but she also speaks very elegantly, especially in front of outsiders, she always preaches the family and praises her family, which can be described as showing off her wisdom.

"Wu'er is a genius in new words, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is famous." Liu Sanbian's father, Liu Yi, then praised, "Everyone knows the land of the capital, and no one knows it. ”

The matchmaker looked quite excited: "Yes, who said it wasn't?" I also heard that Liu Gongzi is a talent, and women from good families want to climb high branches and get a good son-in-law! ”

How does that sound so awkward! Liu Sanbian scolded in his heart: "You stinky mouth, can you speak human words? Hidden under the tongue is a killing machine! You and I are mentally inadequate! Liu Sanbian unconsciously hated the matchmaker.

Liu Sanbian's mother found out about her son's unhappiness, and said: "The matchmaker praises Wu'er for showing talent!" ”

Liu Sanbian glanced at his mother, and thought to himself, your round field is not very good. Don't you really hear that she is harming your son and defiling your son's personality!

The mother smiled at Liu Sanbian and explained: "My son is not too young, and when it is time to start a family, I asked the matchmaker to tell you a family matter." Calling you back is just to meet and find out. ”

Liu Sanbian's mother nodded to the matchmaker, took the bowl of tea, swung the lid on the tea a few times, and took a sip.

"That girl's family is also a good match with your Liu family." The matchmaker observed Liu Sanchang's reaction, "The day after I was entrusted by Liu's mother, I broke into the door, do you dare not care about the things entrusted by the Liu family?" It's really good luck to make this happy marriage happen. I've seen it too, it's called a pretty, really! ”

A wry smile flashed across Liu Sanbian's face, it turns out that you colluded to set me up and want to pour me ecstasy soup, what nonsense, no matter how beautiful she is, can she be compared with the best among the beauties such as Master Chen, Baihe Fairy, Wu Ji and the pavilion owner? And my mother. Can it be compared to my mother? If so, I will accept it unconditionally.

"The girl probably did it. Embroidery, tailoring, dressing, and cooking. After the matchmaker finished speaking, she stuck out her tongue.

Liu Sanbian's father reacted really fast: "Can you still cook?" ”

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue!" The matchmaker explained again and again, "I haven't heard that I can cook, I haven't heard of it." ”

Liu Sanbian couldn't help but laugh, this matchmaker is used to nonsense. I don't know which sentence is true and which is false.

Liu Sanbian's mother nodded with satisfaction: "That's it, if you can cook, how can you be the right person?" ”

"Yes, Madame is right!" The matchmaker reviewed. "I'm used to talking about this foul mouth, and sometimes I don't have a doorkeeper, but this girl is indeed beautiful, exactly like Madame, really, it's true, I swear." After saying that, the matchmaker raised her hand.

"You always drink tea, drink tea." Liu Sanbian's mother greeted with a smile, "It's hard work, we all believe in you." ”

Liu Sanbian was a little disgusted, and resisted in his heart, I don't believe it! The matchmaker must be able to count when she speaks, and the sows will go up the tree.

"Matchmaker, wait a minute." The matchmaker was about to go out, and Liu Sanbian's mother turned around and handed the matchmaker a bulging cloth bag from the back room, pointed to the cloth bag and said, "The matchmaker is hard, and the number of etiquette is still required." ”

Then, Liu Sanbian saw his mother and the matchmaker whispering quietly and living quietly, the matchmaker looked exquisite, raised her hand and swore for a while, and gave a thumbs up for a while, which made Liu Sanchang's mother very happy and excited.

In the end, Liu Sanbian's mother waved to the matchmaker with satisfaction: "Three days, three days later, come and listen to the reply." ”

In other words, Liu Sanbian and his father were still sitting in the living room, and his father said: "My son is not young, and it is the right thing to start a family, so prepare well." ”

Seeing that Liu Sanbian didn't react, his face was facing the door, and his father said again: "Talking to you, did you hear it, what are you doing all the time looking at the door?" ”

Liu Sanbian sat down, and when he met his father's expectations, he asked for advice: "Can you postpone it for a while?" ”

"No way!" Liu Sanchang's father said in a resolute tone, leaving no room for error, "Becoming a family is a lifelong event, and you can't be allowed to prevaricate, even if there are thousands of reasons, the result is the same." ”

"As the saying goes, starting a family, there is always a priority for these two things!" Liu Sanbian obviously lacked confidence when he said this, so he could only flicker, "If the industry is not established, how can you start a family?" ”

Liu Yi, the father of Liu Sanchang, put down the teacup and said softly: "That's right, it's about starting a family and starting a business, how can it be reversed?" It doesn't make sense! ”

At this time, Liu Sanbian's mother came back happily, and when she was crossing the threshold, she couldn't wait to say: "This time I should find someone who knows the roots." ”

"Know the roots?" Liu San asked strangely, "Just with the matchmaker's three-inch incorruptible tongue, you still believe it, what do you know, and you are happy to be like this?" ”

Liu Sanbian will know that when he accused his mother of being gullible, he had already dug a pit for himself, which was a pit of happiness and a pit that he couldn't ask for in the eyes of outsiders, but for Liu Sanbian, the trees that grew in this pit bore bitter fruit.

"It doesn't matter what we know, it's important that you know." Liu Sanbian's father said.

Liu Sanbian's mother walked up to her husband, leaned down and whispered a few words, and his father nodded vigorously and smiled knowingly. In fact, Liu Sanbian can guess a few points according to her mother's mouth shape, didn't she just tell her father who her future in-laws are and where is her home? Is this worth keeping from me?

"Child, for the sake of my father, I will accompany you to propose marriage tomorrow." Liu Sanbian's father said happily, "I am familiar with this family, we are officials in the same dynasty, and we will always give a little thin face, there is no reason not to allow it." ”

Liu San became anxious, and blurted out: "I don't know if it's male or female, tall or short, fat or thin, normal or lame and blind, so you made a hasty decision, have you asked for my opinion?" ”

"Okay, okay, I'll accompany you to find out for my mother." Liu Sanbian's mother was clever, she said, "I also want to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law, and I won't approve of it if I can't see it." In this way, how about accompanying my mother to an unannounced visit tomorrow? ”

Liu Sanyan was so choked with these words that he had nothing to say. Things are so coincidental, the next morning, Liu Sanbian went to the house with his mother, and saw a very particular sedan chair just out of the door from a distance, Liu Sanbian's mother let her sedan chair stop at the door on the way to pass, the sedan chair could not pass, naturally stopped, Liu Sanbian's mother took advantage of the sedan chair man yelling to give way when the sedan chair got off, smiled and asked: "This is your young lady's sedan chair, I am Liu Sanchang's mother......"

Before she finished speaking, the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and the girl's face was revealed. Liu Sanbian saw from behind the sedan chair, ah, yes, the complexion was white and translucent, with a melon seed face, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, quite a bit of beauty. When I regretted not seeing the figure, the girl cooperated very well, and walked down from the sedan chair with a smile, which can be called slim, slim, and graceful.

"Auntie is working hard, please talk about it!" The voice is also very magnetic, only to listen to the girl's invitation and tell the sedan chair man, "It's not too late to go to the incense another day!" ”

"Don't take the girl's business wrong." Liu Sanbian's mother excused herself, "I am very pleased to see the girl, I will not disturb me today, and I will visit me another day." (To be continued......)
