The matchmaker surnamed Zheng has come to the door for the third time, because it is her own family, so she came to the Zheng family casually, there are not so many taboos, even if Zheng Fugui and Ma did not nod their heads, she didn't care, anyway, she decided that as long as Zheng Xunrui was not engaged, she would come to the matchmaker.

The matchmaker is still very popular, especially those gentry and wealthy families with daughters, who don't want their daughters to be able to find a good family, at this time the matchmaker can play a role, and the doll who can be engaged to a young child, after all, there are not many, and this year, the doll is not reliable, who can guarantee that after a few years, the conditions of the two families are still about the same, what is the plot of the son in distress and the lady rescues, it is just a table in the opera, there are a few families who can really do this, The other party is in trouble, especially the man, most of them are disliked, and they are finally forced to withdraw from the marriage.

Mrs. Zheng saw Ma when she entered the door.

Now thinking about entering the Zheng family casually, it is not so easy, there are guarded courtyards outside, and the momentum of these courtyards is still a little terrifying, and it looks a little different from ordinary people, but Zheng Matchmaker and the Zheng family have long been familiar with each other, and they will not encounter too many obstacles when they come to the Zheng family, at most they will wait outside for a while.

"Ouch, ma'am, the old woman is here again."

"It turns out that Granny Zheng is here, please come in and sit down."

Ma led Mrs. Zheng into the hall, and after sitting down, he called the maid next to him to invite the master over, Mrs. Zheng came to the house, it must be for Zheng Xunrui to talk about matchmaking, and Zheng Fugui must be coming.

When Ma and Mrs. Zheng were chatting about family life, Zheng Fugui came in.

"It turned out that Granny Zheng was here, a rare guest."

"Don't say that, master, the old woman is also thick-skinned, anyway, it's my own family, and the old woman doesn't want this old face."

Ma on one side quickly spoke.

"Don't say that, Granny Zheng, who doesn't know that Granny Zheng is a warm-hearted person in this neighborhood."

"Hey, Mrs. Yo said this, the old woman is comfortable, the old lady doesn't know, the reputation of the son outside is good, the old woman hears all praise the son, Xie Yuanlang is Wenqu Xing, the son is Wenqu Xing, and he is just as approachable, there is no shelf at all, when he sees the old man, he greets him, and when he sees the children, he also greets him with a smile, this is really not simple, the old woman really wants to congratulate the old man......

The matchmaker relies on a mouth, and she can almost blow the dead alive, but this time what Zheng matchmaker said is the truth, when Zheng Xunrui faces the neighbors, he really has no shelf, even if he is a township high school, after becoming Xie Yuanlang, he still greets the neighbors on the left and right, and such a move has been highly praised by the neighbors.

Zheng Fugui and Ma were of course happy when they heard Mrs. Zheng say this, their son has a good reputation outside, how can they not be happy if they ask for such a thing.

However, Mrs. Zheng has been here twice, and the girl she introduced made Zheng Fugui and Ma still a little hesitant.

It's not that the girl that Mrs. Zheng said is not good, but the other party's net worth is too high, and the two are worried that such a girl will not be able to control Zheng Xunrui in the future, which will not be good.

"The old woman is still here to say that the kiss is the third time, the old woman is a little embarrassed, the old lady has not given a letter, the old woman is also in a hurry, the son will go to the capital next year, this must be the title of the gold list, when the emperor stays in the capital to be a big official, he will not come back, at that time I want to say goodbye to the son, it is not easy, the old lady has to think carefully."

Ma sighed, Mrs. Zheng did say what she was worried about, seeing that it was already November, at most after the Chinese New Year, Zheng Xunrui was going to leave Guli Town and go to the capital, full of calculations, there are still two months to go, if the marriage can't be decided, it will be really difficult to do it in the future.

"What Granny Zheng said is that the slave family is also worried, but this ......"

"Oh, it's a good thing that Mrs. can think like this, the girl that the old woman said is gentle and virtuous, beautiful as a flower, and the discipline at home has always been very strict, don't worry about the old lady, the old woman is also the family, such a big thing, how dare you open your mouth, in the future, it will always be a neighbor, if you can't do such a thing, there will be no place for the old woman's face."

Zheng Fugui also sighed.

"What Granny Zheng said, I believe it, they are all from the villagers, and they are from our own family, Granny Zheng must be thinking about us, but the other girl is from a noble background, so I am afraid of looking down on our Zheng family."

Zheng Fugui finally told the truth, Mrs. Zheng came twice, but he didn't say it the first two times.

"Oh, sir, you really look down on yourself, what kind of person is the son, Ying Tianfu Xiao Sanyuan, Nanzhili Township tried to solve Yuanlang, the real Wenqu star, such a noble identity, which girl dares to be presumptuous, and the girl that the old woman said is really lovely, filial piety to her parents, and knowledge, so don't worry about the old lady."

Mrs. Zheng had long understood what Zheng Fugui and Ma were worried about, so she would come to the door for the third time, if there was no hope for the matchmaker, she would not have spent so much time and energy.

Marriage must be the right family, this is undoubted, but today's marriage, but there is not so much trouble in the early Ming Dynasty, although the court has made strict regulations on the marriage of the emperor and the common people, but in addition to the emperor, the clan and many princes followed, including the civil and military ministers to the ordinary people, basically no one does it according to the rules of the court, that is too troublesome, just say that these six rites: Nacai, ask for names, Naji, Naji, Nazheng, invite and welcome, according to the requirements of time, it takes more than a year, If there is any other agreement between the two parties, it may even take two to three years.

Generally speaking, today's marriage, there are three points that must be had, that is, Nacai, Najib and the invitation period, in the final analysis, this is all combined with money, the man needs to give the woman enough bride price, the woman needs to give enough dowry, so that everyone has face, as for asking for names, some of the scholars pay attention to it, and some do not pay special attention to it, after all, whether you have money or not is the most important, and some face is not necessary, so the final result is uncomfortable.

But there is one thing that is taboo for both men and women, that is, the status of the woman is too high, the royal princess and the prince's county lord, county lord, etc., that is needless to say, the scholar class avoids it, no one is willing to marry, marrying the princess, the county lord and the county lord are called Yibin, according to the regulations of the imperial court, the Yibin is not allowed to enter the court as an official, and his recent relatives are not allowed to enter the court as an official, and he is already a court official, he must go home, and after marriage, the Yibin and the princess live separately, and the Yibin wants to see his wife, and he also needs to ask for instructions, Even if the princess can't have children, Yibin is not allowed to marry a concubine, and after the princess dies of illness, Yibin goes home in a gloomy way and gets nothing.

The daughters of those high-ranking officials in the imperial court are not very good to marry, there are not many men who can be worthy of them, and they are not willing to marry, now it is a patriarchal society, if the married lady uses the power of her mother's family to become a tigress in the family, who can bear it, it is not a life that is worse than death.

In short, if the woman's conditions exceed the man's, the man is generally unwilling to marry.

Think about it, it's the same after a few hundred years, women are too good, men are under a lot of pressure, such a woman is only worthy of being watched and envied by men from afar, and it is difficult to bear it when she marries home.

It's just that Zheng Matchmaker's wife said that there are such problems as zài, which is good, Zheng Xunrui is indeed very good, and he can be said to be the best among men, but at present, it is still a rising stock, and it has not yet reached a good height, if the woman's conditions are too good, the status is too high, and after marrying home, it is not easy to serve, which makes the father-in-law and mother-in-law upset.

Zheng Fugui shook his head slightly, he still didn't want to deal with this family business, you must know that after nodding and agreeing, it was not a joke, the next thing was to ask for the name, followed by Na Cai, Naji and the invitation period, all of them were decided, as for the final greeting, it was just a formality.

"Granny Zheng, I still want to think about this matter, the gap between the two sides is too big, our family is average, if the daughter-in-law enters the door in the future, there are many things that are not used to it, then we don't know what to do."

Mrs. Zheng came to the door for the third time, of course, she came prepared.

"The old lady really thinks too much, now where is it still before, there are not so many rules, the son must stay in the capital, will not come back, after marrying in the future, take the daughter-in-law to the capital, how can you stay in Guli Town, even if you think so, I am afraid that the son will not agree, and the old woman looks at the little master is also very good, in the future, give the little young master a good family matter, leave a daughter-in-law at home, you don't have to worry about anything."

Seeing that Ma's love was a little loose, Mrs. Zheng took advantage of the victory and moved forward.

"Such a good girl, it's hard to find with a lantern, and the family is not so strong, his son is the champion, the girl must be obedient, the husband sings and the wife follows, this kind of situation must be what the old lady is willing to see." ……

The matchmaker talked for more than half an hour, and finally made Ma make up her mind, if it was a girl nearby, she really didn't deserve her son.

After inviting Mrs. Zheng to sit down for a while, Zheng Fugui and Ma went to the back room.

"Xianggong, it's okay for the slave family to look at this marriage, Xianggong is worried that the slave family knows that Qingyang is so good, where will he suffer."

"Think again."

"Seeing that Qingyang is about to go to the capital, where is there a good girl nearby, this marriage can't be decided, what does the slave family think, and Qingyang will be laughed at outside, does Xianggong really let Qingyang decide for himself, there is already one around him, such a thing appears again, and the slave family is really worried about death."

Zheng Fugui thought for a while, and finally nodded.
