In the matchmaker industry, there are both men and women, but most of them are middle-aged women, because they are easy to enter and leave people's houses and communicate with their parents. A fisherman woman must be smart and skilled, and understand the world; the second is to be diligent and hard-working; Third, you must be able to speak well and be organized; Fourth, there must be some economic acumen who can grasp fairness and moderation in the settlement of the two parties, and everyone is happy. In addition, one of the most important things is to have a good reputation and reputation. Where the marriage is matched, the husband and wife are harmonious, the children are prosperous, the family and the business are prosperous, and the in-laws complement each other, which will naturally attract more business. If it is only for the sake of the middle profit, and the rhetoric is flattering, and the deception is grasped, it will inevitably cause criticism from the neighbors and the road to the eye. In this way, she can't continue to read the business scriptures. Especially in China's rural areas, more than ten miles have the same surname, and hundreds of miles also climb relatives, good things do not go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. According to the words of the matchmaker, "It is impossible to give a mountain of gold to the things that refer to the east and the west, deceive the heavens and the earth, and damage the yin and the earth."

The matchmaker Ruan Qixiang found is famous in the entire Yizhou Mansion and even several nearby state capitals, and her real name has long been unrememberable, and everyone calls her Liu's mother, Liu's sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law Liu came to Ruan Qixiang's house, Ruan Qixiang had been waiting in the hall for a long time, after all, there was a request for people, so it was natural to greet him with a smile, as soon as he saw Sister-in-law Liu walk in, he immediately greeted him, and said with a smile on his face: "Sister-in-law Liu is here, I have been looking forward to it for a long time, this whole Yizhou sister-in-law Liu, your reputation is very big, everyone knows it, no one knows it." ”

This sister-in-law Liu looks thirty-four or five years old, but she is very well maintained, her face is also rubbed with rouge gouache, red lips, and a red flower pinned to her head.

"Hey, Lord Ruan, this is tormenting my wife, I just take advantage of the blessing of the adult, running around to earn some hard-earned money, where can I compare to you, my lord." Sister-in-law Liu twisted the bucket waist and walked over.

Ruan Qixiang invited Sister-in-law Liu to take a seat, and said at the moment: "It's not a secret, the sister-in-law Liu invited today is to ask for something, my son Ruan Zhao'er has also reached the age of talking about marriage, as the saying goes, unfilial piety has three no queens, this Yizhou Mansion is the top number of Sister-in-law Liu, you are the most sincere, so I invited you to come and say a house for my son, and there will be heavy thanks after the fact." ”

Sister-in-law Liu complained bitterly in her heart when she heard this, this Ruan Zhao'er doesn't know anyone in the entire Yizhou Mansion, and who doesn't know, but it is the forbidden body of the Yizhou Governor Gao Feng, tell him a family matter, not to mention that Gao Feng disagrees, that is, he agrees that there is no one in the entire Yizhou Mansion who is willing to marry the girl of his family to the Ruan family.

Although he wanted to refuse in his heart, the Ruan family was powerful, and he immediately asked: "But I don't know which girl in this Yizhou Mansion has fallen in love with my lord?" ”

"There is a girl in Liu Guang's family in the east of the city, named Liu Huiniang, it is said that the country is alluring, gentle and virtuous, and my Ruan Zhao'er is a match made in heaven, and I also ask Sister-in-law Liu to bother a lot, how about giving Sister-in-law Liu a thousand taels of silver after the matter is completed?" Ruan Qixiang said with a smile.

As soon as she heard that it was the girl of Liu Guang's family, Sister-in-law Liu wanted to refuse, then Liu Guang was decent, where was she willing to marry her baby daughter to the brother of the Ruan family, but as soon as she heard about a thousand taels of silver, Sister-in-law Liu was tempted, gritted her teeth and said: "Cheng, I will tell you about this matter, but I don't dare to pack the ticket or not, I can only say do my best." ”

"Then thank you Sister-in-law Liu." Ruan Qixiang said politely.

After leaving the Ruan family, Sister-in-law Liu was embarrassed, knowing that this Liu Guang and Ruan Qixiang did not deal with each other, and Liu Guang had been an official in Yizhou for many years, and it was also deep-rooted, although now that he was dismissed, it was also a skinny camel bigger than a horse, this matter was even more difficult, but it seemed that for the sake of a thousand taels of silver, Sister-in-law Liu was also open-minded, and when she returned home, she thought about it for two whole days, which made him come up with a way.

Early in the morning, Sister-in-law Liu took a pair of engaged items and jewelry, walked on the street, and walked over to meet Liu Guang, Sister-in-law Liu knew that Liu Guang would pass by here, so she deliberately waited for him here, and when Liu Guang came closer, Sister-in-law Liu greeted her, smiling all over her face, and said: "Isn't this Liu Yuanwai?" It's so quiet today. ”

Liu Guang looked up, he recognized this person, it was the most talkable matchmaker sister-in-law Liu in Yizhou Mansion, for his two sons and a baby daughter, this sister-in-law Liu did not miss the door of his house, and Liu Guang also smiled at the moment and said, "Oh, sister-in-law Liu, where is this going?" ”

"Hey, isn't this another big job, there's no way I'm such a tired life, I just happened to see Liu Yuanwai, I really have something to tell you, next to it is a teahouse, how about we go in and say?" Sister-in-law Liu said.

The two of them entered the teahouse one after the other, Dr. Tea poured a bowl of tea for each of them, and the two of them took a sip, and then Liu Guang said: "Sister-in-law Liu, I don't know what you said you said about looking for me?" ”

"Hey, let's not talk about this first, Liu Yuanwai came over early in the morning and didn't eat breakfast yet, it just so happens that I have two hibiscus cakes here, you eat two bites first, pad your stomach." Sister-in-law Liu said and took out two pieces of hibiscus cakes from her baggage, this hibiscus cake is a cake eaten only for marriage in this area of Yizhou, which means wealth and auspiciousness.

Liu Guang really didn't eat early in the morning, and he drank a stomach of tea just now, and now Sister-in-law Liu was really a little hungry when she said this, so she was not polite at the moment, thanked her, took the hibiscus cake and ate it, just took the tea, and ate it in a few bites.

Sister-in-law Liu laughed, and took out two golden flowers from her arms, this golden flower is not made of pure gold, it is a layer of gold water outside, and it is also a flower on the head of the parents of both parties to the marriage, Sister-in-law Liu took out the golden flower, stood up, came behind Liu Guang, and directly inserted the flower on Liu Guang's hair bun.

Liu Guang thought that Sister-in-law Liu was joking with him, so he also laughed at the moment and said, "Sister-in-law Liu, whose girl is this girl who got married, let me be a witness?" ”

"Liu Yuanwai, this girl is none other than your family's baby Liu Huiniang." Sister-in-law Liu said.

"What?" Liu Guang was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect someone to fall in love with his own girl, and then asked again: "I don't know which son?" ”

"Liu Yuanwai also knows, it is Ruan Zhao'er, the son of Ruan Qixiang, the defense envoy of Yizhou, who is handsome and chic, and it is really a match made in heaven with Liu Huiniang, I have been a matchmaker for so long, and it is the first time I have seen such a matching pair, it is really a talented and beautiful woman............"

"Smack!"

"Say no more!" Liu Guang heard Liu's sister-in-law's words, his face was blue with anger, and in the end, he couldn't listen to it anymore, so he slapped the table angrily and shouted angrily.
