Chapter 267: Eight Watches
Jiang Nuan blinked and said hesitantly, "Such a good girl, are you sure that your mother didn't say that she is a good person?" ”
"Absolutely not," Mrs. Jiang said affirmatively, "I inquired, if there is, it is impossible not to have a little rumor." ”
"Grandma," Xie said hesitantly, "The girl is so good, are your parents willing to marry off?" ”
She always felt that there was a problem.
"I am reluctant to get married," Mrs. Jiang disagreed, "That girl is almost twenty, and if she stays, she will become an old girl, besides, even if she wants to stay at home, she can't keep it, don't underestimate the matchmaker's mouth." ”
As he spoke, there was a knock at the door.
Xiao Wu thought that his grandfather was back, so he jumped to open the door, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a mother-in-law wearing a red flower.
"Mother," she shouted in her voice, "there is a flower granny I don't know." ”
The moment she saw Jiang Nuan, the matchmaker stiffened.
Reluctantly pulled out a smiling face to say hello, "What a coincidence, Mrs. Jiang is also there." ”
When she saw Jiang Nuan, she thought of Laizi, who was not stingy.
That official, she really can't afford to mess with her.
For this reason, I haven't taken much business from Huangjiakou recently, but I still haven't run away.
"What a coincidence," Jiang Nuan greeted with a smile, "I didn't expect to meet you here." ”
"No," explained the matchmaker stiffly, "the old lady asked me to go to the girl's house to find out, and I wrote back. ”
If she had known this, she should not have taken this business.
In case this ancestor is not satisfied and sues the evil star, she is a matchmaker who eats by mouth, but she can't stand the toss of those officials.
She had inquired, and the patriarchs of Huangjiakou were all tossed by that group of officials.
"There's an echo," Mrs. Jiang came to her senses, "How is it, does the woman's family agree?" ”
"I was reluctant," the matchmaker glanced at Jiang Nuan before continuing to speak, "I think our family is a good offspring, it's a pity to miss it like this, it took two days to make sense of the woman's parents." ”
"Is this agreed?" Mrs. Jiang's eyes flashed, "When can you come to the door to pay a gift?" ”
"Agree is agree," the matchmaker looked a little embarrassed, but she didn't dare to hide it, "but the woman has conditions." ”
"What conditions," Mrs. Jiang was not surprised, "You said, as long as it's not too much, we'll consider it." ”
The matchmaker glanced at Jiang Nuan jealously, and saw that she was not angry before she spoke, "First of all, the dowry is not less than five taels of silver, and secondly, in the future, the younger brothers and sisters will marry and follow them, and also, it must not be less than two taels of silver, and then ......."
Looking at the Jiang family's increasingly cold faces, the matchmaker's voice became lower and lower, and in the end, she simply stopped.
"Is this marrying a daughter or selling a daughter," Xie said bluntly, "Let's not support his daughter, but also support a large family?" ”
"That's it," Jin also looked indignant, "The daughter who marries out should also give her younger siblings a follower, but each two taels of silver is excessive, with these two taels, you can marry one." ”
"By the way, Grandma," Kim turned his head, "how many sisters does this girl have?" ”
"Eight," Mrs. Jiang said with a dark face, "The eldest brother is sixteen years old this year, which is the age of marriage. ”
It's a really good calculation.
The bride price of five taels of silver plus the share of two taels of silver, and the assets of seven taels of silver, the girls from ten miles and eight towns can choose a lot at will.
"Mother," Aunt Huang said with a wry smile, "No matter how good this girl is, our family can't afford it." ”
Clearly borrowing money from his daughter!
