The shop of the iron shop is rented from the big Zhuangzi household, the gate faces south, and the plaque with the words "Zhaojia iron shop" is hung on the door frame. There were two large stoves in the house, and a small servant on one side helped pull the bellows with half an arm to make the fire in the furnace hot.

Outside, there was also a man with half an arm, holding a hammer in his right hand, powerful and powerful, but also meticulously pounding the fiery molten iron.

This person is Zhao Quan.

Mrs. Wang went to say hello and asked him to get a kitchen knife. Zhao Quan greeted him politely and gave Mrs. Wang a drawing, and asked Mrs. Wang to choose what style of kitchen knife to fight. During the period, he talked a little, but he was kind and polite.

Chu Jianniang took a few steps closer in order to take a closer look at this person's every move and appearance. His appearance was indeed different from that of other blacksmiths, although he was darker, he was more handsome than those blacksmiths with square faces and broad noses, and his eyes were really deep and transparent. If you wear good clothes, you must be a person with a dignified appearance, who can be more accurate than Pan An, and match the eyes of the little sister.

Seeing that Zhao Quan and Mrs. Wang chatted happily, and enthusiastically asked the little maid who was doing chores to help watch the tea, Chu Jiaoniang was a little satisfied, and was about to go together to say hello, Fang walked two steps, unfortunately, two girls passing by were red, willow and green, and went straight to the direction of the iron shop, and Yan Yan greeted Zhao Quan with a smile.

After the two women passed, they didn't strike iron, didn't ask the price, just stood on the edge of the shed and said a lot to Zhao Quan, and put Mrs. Wang aside, and Mrs. Wang couldn't help frowning.

I saw that when the two girls left, they deliberately waved the handkerchief in their hands and shook the tip of his nose. I didn't see Zhao Quan avoiding it, but I also smelled it intentionally, and there was a kind of unruly in his deep eyes.

This scene alone, regardless of whether Zhao Quan is tending to cater to the flames, or what, Chu Jianniang made up her mind that this person has too many flowers around him, and he is not a very good destination, and he can't be provoked. I went over and called Mrs. Wang, and left.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly followed, and when she saw Chu Jianniang's face, she felt bad, and leaned over and asked, "Is it not possible?" ”

Chu Jianniang bluntly said what she thought after what she had just observed, this person is afraid that he is not in shape, so there is no need to talk to the little sister again.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang took a deep breath, her eyes were sharp, her face was ugly, and she said straightly: It was really not the right time for the two girls to come.

Zhao Quan is good at everything, his family situation, enthusiasm for others, filial piety and sensibility are all true. But the only point is that it is romantic. His wife was afraid that he would not find a good girl because of this, so she tried her best to let Mrs. Wang pick up the good ones and say that she could hide a little bit, but her own son didn't hide it, so no one wondered!

"That'...... I'm looking for something here? Mrs. Wang suppressed her breath.

Chu Jianniang nodded: "I'm tired." ”

In the next few days, Mrs. Wang said a lot in a row, and Chu Jianniang should go to take a look first, but they were all unsatisfactory.

Either the old mother in the family was vulgar, or the father in the family was dirty, and even worse, let the bride live with her father-in-law first, which scared Chu Jianniang and ran home at that time. even once wondered if this mother-in-law was doing something black-hearted? As long as you give money, regardless of whether the other party is an ordinary person, you can send someone over?

After a few days, Mrs. Wang was also a lot tired, thinking that Chu Jianniang didn't give many matchmakers, and she was picky, and she wanted to teach her little sister to go to the nunnery to be a nun.

"Jiao Niang, you said that you always look down on you, you don't know, you think you are choosing a husband! This makes it hard for me to do! At the door of Mrs. Wang's house, Mrs. Wang crossed her arms and pouted her cold eyes, very displeased.

Chu Jianniang also knew that she was embarrassed, but she couldn't find another matchmaker: "Aunt Wang, you see that my little sister-in-law is not bad-looking, and her temper is also some of the temper of a little girl, so you won't be ...... Find one and count it as one, right? I know that you have taken me to meet a lot of people in the past few days, and you are also tired, do you think you can spend more time? ”

As he spoke, he handed her another string of money.

I don't know in the past, this princess said that the matchmaker has a common trick, and after receiving a matchmaker gift first, she seems to have helped find a lot of people, but in fact, they are all uneven people. When he didn't like anything, he began to talk about it. That's it. The purpose is to make people give a little more matchmaking.

Chu Jianniang thought that when the Liu family stuffed money here before, she didn't understand it very well, but now she understands a lot, and she can be regarded as a teacher, and she is distressed when she sees the money go out.

Mrs. Wang's face was unsettled, and she looked at the string of money for a long time, and finally reluctantly put it in her hand: "Huh! Whoever taught me that I was not used to seeing single men and women in this world, then I could only do more. If you still can't look down on this, I can't do anything else, mother-in-law, so you can entrust someone else. ”

Chu Jiaoniang forced a smile on the corner of her mouth, she was so unaccustomed to seeing single men and women, she was really reluctant!

"Thank you, thank you."

Farewell to the princess, Chu Jianniang came home, thinking to herself, this princess should not get another random one to fool her......

During this period of time, Chu Jianniang went back and forth with Mrs. Wang several times. Outsiders can see that this is the second person who has more contact with Chu Jianniang after she came to Longshan Village, in addition to the Shen family. Some people with more curiosity also asked what the two of them were doing?

However, seeing that the wind is rain, some people have begun to say that she saw that the Wei family was not at home, and asked the princess to meet the wild man privately. Within two days, rumors spread in the village.

Liu listened to the whispers of the wind in his ears, and his face became darker and darker day by day. She is not her own mother, and she is blunt, afraid that people will be unhappy. No matter what, some people outside are gossiping about his family with guns and sticks.

After enduring it for a day or two, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and after going to bed at night, Liu talked to Old Man Wei on the pillow.

"Recently, I haven't taken care of my family's affairs, and I follow Mrs. Wang out every day, and I don't know what to do? This is out there! The messy words spread, saying that she saw that Da Lang was not there, and asked Mrs. Wang to help him find a man outside! ”

Old man Wei closed his eyes and opened them with a "rub": "What is the basis?" ”

"What else is needed for this? The village has spread the word in private. ”

Old man Wei's eyebrows twitched: "...... I don't think Jiao Niang is such a person, you just ask her tomorrow if you want to do it? ”

"Ask her and she'll admit it?"

"If you don't ask, how do you know she doesn't say? What if she is wronged? ”

Old man Wei still trusts Chu Jianniang, although he knows that she is silly and docile on her face, and she has a delicate heart hidden inside; But in this part of dealing with people, he is very honest, straightforward and frank, and he can distinguish the powerful relationship, and he will never do these things.

When Liu heard that the old man was so partial to Chu Jianniang, he was angry at the moment, turned over hard, moved the bamboo bed squeaked, and slept with his back to Old Man Wei.

At dawn the next day, after cleaning up, when eating breakfast, Liu had an ugly face, sat and did not eat, nor did he pick up vegetables. Old man Wei chewed a few bites and gave a reminder with a clear cough. To say that he is an old man who asks his daughter-in-law if she is outside, I am afraid it is not very good.

Liu Shi took a look, but he still didn't say anything.

Jiang Yu looked at the expressions on both sides, she didn't have much fear, anyway, the rumors outside couldn't be stopped, she couldn't listen to it if she wanted to, and she was worried that she didn't have a good chance to let her sister-in-law suffer a crime, today is just right. So he became a bird and said something.

"Sister-in-law, not long ago, I just finished making a fuss about a woman who didn't abide by women's morals and violated customs, although it was misunderstood, you also helped someone win the lawsuit. But how do you know that you are making mistakes? ”

Liu Shi listened to it in his ears, and shouted in his heart: Well said!

Chu Jianniang chewed a bite of rice and sandwiched the vegetables, looking not calm. Since they have all heard the words outside, she is naturally no exception. It's been explained a long time ago.

Ignoring Jiang Yu, Chu Jianniang replied lightly to the Liu family and the old man Wei on both sides: "Dad, mother, daughter-in-law, I also know that there is gossip outside. That's because some time ago, the daughter-in-law failed to talk about the matter between the little sister and the husband of the minister, and did something wrong. Later, I always wanted to find a wishful husband for my little sister, so I went to find Mrs. Wang. ”

Listening to her words, Jiang Yu's eyebrows and eyes were pressed, and he always felt uncomfortable.

Chu Jianniang continued to explain in detail: "Mrs. Wang introduced no less than five people to me, and let me go to take a look, and I should go too." There are those who strike iron in the city; There are Qi families in Wufu Village; the river dam leads the Lu family; There are also cloth sellers in the city, but they just look at it in a row......"
