After this incident, Aunt Zhang never came to make trouble again, but as soon as the New Year came out, the Zhang family hired an ox cart, the family moved out of Xijia Village, and the family's field was sold.

Xi Hongdou pondered that after she made trouble this time, the people in the village might not say that she was a husband, but she would definitely have a reputation of "being clever and disobedient to discipline", anyway, she couldn't do anything.

Aunt Xi asked Xi Hongdou to go to her mother's house to live for a few days, and after a few days, no one would talk about it again and come back.

When the women by the river were washing clothes, because Xi Er's sister-in-law was there, everyone didn't dare to mention Xi Hongdou's matter anymore, lest Xi's second sister-in-law have a mouth and scold everything.

Sister-in-law Zhao pouted as soon as she saw the second sister-in-law of Xi, and said: "Second sister-in-law, your Xi family is making money again now, and the things raised by your sister-in-law are really making a lot of money, and in the future, you will marry twenty-five acres of paddy fields, which is also a little more." ”

Second sister-in-law Xi knew that Sister-in-law Zhao was sour, so she said with a smile: "It's nothing, the sister-in-law can make money by herself, we are now counting on the sister-in-law to earn more, and the twenty-five acres of paddy fields are also bought by the sister-in-law herself, and the mother's family does not lose anything, how can there be such a good thing if it is put in another family?" When the time comes, a large amount of dowry will be married, and others will only be red-eyed! After speaking, he snorted at Sister-in-law Zhao, so angry that Sister-in-law Zhao gritted her teeth more and more.

Sister-in-law Zhao said at this time: "Yes, the red bean marriage must be beautiful, but I haven't seen anyone to propose, I really said that I got married, I also have to go and ask for a cup of wine to drink!" "Everyone doesn't dare to talk about Xi Hongdou Kefu now, but they still have to think about it in their hearts.

Xi's second sister-in-law was speechless: "Not everyone can come to my family's red bean wine, and it is not certain whether you invite anyone or not when the time comes." After speaking, he looked at Sister-in-law Zhao and said with a smile: "It's not that you, you naturally want to invite, and when the time comes, you can be happy, and you can give birth to a big fat boy to deal with your mother-in-law!" ”

Sister-in-law Zhao dropped the basin directly, stopped chatting with Xi's second sister-in-law, chatted and nagged herself, turned her head and left.

Seeing that Sister-in-law Zhao is gone, Second Sister-in-law Xi doesn't say anything anymore, everyone doesn't dare to say anything about the sister-in-law, but they can't stop someone from muttering, and now the most important thing is to tell the sister-in-law a family affair in order to completely block the mouth of Youyou.

Aunt Xi has had a bit of a headache these days, and now there is no one who proposes marriage, and her daughter will become an old girl if she drags it out. The girls in the village generally married early, and some of them had children at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and now Xi Hongdou is about to turn fifteen, and she hasn't said anything yet, but she has really become an old aunt.

At this time, Xi's second sister-in-law also returned home with a basin, and met Zhao Tiezhu at the door. Seeing Zhao Tiezhu sneaking his head out into the yard, Xi's second sister-in-law went around behind her to scare her.

"What for?" Second sister-in-law Xi's scare, Zhao Tiezhu quickly turned around, and when he saw that it was second sister-in-law Xi, he said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law is back!" ”

Second sister-in-law Xi raised her eyebrows, and said: "When you called your second sister-in-law, you called all your surnames, and you directly called the second sister-in-law and didn't know that you thought you were really our family!" I also rolled my eyes, and felt that this Zhao Tiezhu was so boring, he had been blasted out before, and he could still come.

Zhao Tiezhu wanted to marry a beautiful woman like a flower, and he wanted to eat and drink without worrying after entering the Xi family, and he smiled facelessly in the face of Xi's second sister-in-law's squeeze, and said: "I'm not worried about the red bean girl, come and have a look!" ”

"Don't worry about it, my red beans are very good!" Xi's second sister-in-law entered the door after speaking.

Aunt Xi just heard that the second sister-in-law Xi seemed to be talking to someone at the door, so she asked, and the second sister-in-law Xi said: "It's Zhao Tiezhu, don't give up." ”

"My daughter is married to a lazy man, will she be able to live in the future?" Aunt Xi sighed, what she wants doesn't come, what she doesn't want is still difficult, and she is annoyed.

Second sister-in-law Xi said with a smile: "This Zhao Tiezhu is also interesting, people are toads who want to eat swan meat, but his toad is directly crazy!" ”

Aunt Xi thought that Xi Hongdou was afraid that she would not be able to marry for the rest of her life, otherwise she would have to let Xi Hongdou marry far away in the future, without those gossips, her daughter was not afraid of not finding her in-law's family.

"Mother, someone has come to propose!" Aunt Xi hurriedly ran to the door at this time and said.

Aunt Xi and Second Sister-in-law Xi didn't feel at ease when they heard this, and Second Sister-in-law Xi even asked, "Is it that Zhao Tiezhu hasn't left yet?" Or I'll blast him away and stay away, so as not to block the red beans. ”

Sister-in-law Xi hurriedly shook her head and said, "It's not Zhao Tiezhu!" ”

As soon as she heard that it was not Zhao Tiezhu who was messing around, Aunt Xi suddenly came to her senses, and she also got up from the rocking chair, and the second sister-in-law Xi hurriedly came over to help, and did not forget to ask Sister-in-law Xi: "Sister-in-law, can you see whose house it is?" ”

Sister-in-law Xi shook her head: "The leader is the steward of Wu!" The pomp is not small, and the red gifts are also included a lot, and several people brought them! ”

Aunt Xi finally had joy on her face, she had been thinking about her daughter's marriage every day for so many days, and she could be regarded as a reliable one today. However, this Wu steward came forward, and it is estimated that he is also helping people to propose marriage, could it be that someone's male fell in love with her family's red beans, so he dragged Wu Da Steward to sell face and say kiss? !

Xi's second sister-in-law said: "Hongdou is not at home, do you want to find it back and ask?" "I went to my grandfather's place, and I had to stay for a few days.

"Don't worry, ask clearly, let's see." Aunt Xi said and went to the gate.

When the chief steward of Wu saw that the people of the Xi family had come out, he said very politely: "Madame! ”

"Oh, I don't dare to be it, it's too polite, let's sit in first!" Aunt Xi looked at Xi's second sister-in-law as she spoke.

Second sister-in-law Xi hurriedly understood, and immediately raised her voice and said, "Steward Wu is here to help someone propose?" I also brought so many things, which is too polite! ”

was shouted by Xi's second sister-in-law's voice, how could the neighbors not hear the movement, and they all poked their heads out to watch the excitement.

Steward Wu happily followed Aunt Xi into the courtyard, and Aunt Xi hurriedly asked people to sit.

Aunt Xi is also in awe of this Wu Da Steward, people are the stewards of large families, and they usually rely on others to take care of business in the bazaar, which can invite Wu Da Steward to come to the family, it must be good, she has already given an impression in her heart, this is really good to say that the family of the pro will really do things.

As soon as the housekeeper Wu sat down, he drank tea first, and then said, "I came today to say goodbye to others." ”

Aunt Xi was waiting for this sentence, and hurriedly said: "This is a good thing, but I don't know which family is the descendant of the family?" ”

The housekeeper Wu said, "It's for my young master." ”

The expression on Aunt Xi's face changed from a happy face, to a dazed face, and finally to a shock.

"Who? Your young master? Young Master Xiao? Aunt Xi looked incredulous, what kind of family is the Xiao family, such a big house in Yunzhou City and such a big family business are just a drop in the bucket, and the young master of the Xiao family wants to marry their village girl Hongdou? It's not too ......

Steward Wu saw that Aunt Xi's expression was really a little different, and said, "It is indeed my young master, and Madame has seen it before." ”

"Big steward, although our Xi family is not a big family, the girls in the family can't be teased at will......" Aunt Xi felt that this was unlikely.

Chief Steward Wu also knew that Aunt Xi was cautious, so he said: "Madame's words are serious, our family is indeed sincerely asking for marriage, this time I even brought the young master's eight characters, just want to ask the red bean girl first." ”

Asking auspicious is to first combine the eight characters, whether it is auspicious to put a piece of the eight characters on the birthday of men and women, if it is auspicious, you can proceed to the next step, if it is not auspicious, this matter is counted as a stop.

Sister-in-law Xi didn't want to be joking when she heard this, so she quickly pulled the corner of Aunt Xi's clothes, so that her mother-in-law could stop being confused, now her sister-in-law's wealth is here!

Aunt Xi came back to her senses and said, "Do you really want to marry?" ”

"Exactly, my young master still wants to come in person, but this is also unreasonable." Chief Steward Wu said.

Aunt Xi didn't have an idea for a while, but she still asked, "What about your Mrs. Xiao?" The words of the matchmaker are all available to the parents. She always felt that the Xiao family's proposal was not so reliable.

Chief Steward Wu smiled faintly and said, "The girl that my young master wants to marry will definitely marry, and the old lady can't be the master of my young master." ”

"This ......" Aunt Xi didn't dare to agree directly, the first thing to do when getting married is to pay attention to a right person, her family and the Xiao family are really too different, if the girl marries in the past and is wronged, what can their Xi family do to the Xiao family?

Sister-in-law Xi saw that Aunt Xi was a little embarrassed, so she said: "Steward Wu or just wait, my sister-in-law's marriage also needs my father-in-law's nod, and my mother-in-law can't make up her mind alone." ”

"Yes, yes, wait." Aunt Xi said that what Steward Wu said was very sincere, and she directly refused that she was afraid that it would not be easy to see in the future.

Chief Steward Wu nodded, and said, "Okay, then I'll come back tomorrow at this time." With that, he got up and took his leave.

The Xi family politely sent the housekeeper Wu away, and Aunt Xi thought it was a good thing, but she didn't want to be distressed again all of a sudden.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, go to the field and let your father come back first." Aunt Xi anxiously asked Daddy Xi what he thought, it was okay if Xi Hongdou was not at home, in case it didn't work out, wouldn't it be more blocked.

…………

Xi Hongdou on the other end is relaxed, and his grandfather Ding's house is in the neighboring village, which is also beautiful. Dingjia Village and Xijia Village are not far away, Aunt Xi was also beautiful when she married into Xijia Village, the Ding family is also a rich peasant, and the daughter of the family has not suffered much, especially the hot temperament is also used to by Ding's grandfather since childhood, and now he naturally likes his granddaughter more.

"Red beans, hurry up and come into the house, don't look cold, but the spring is moving and does not freeze, and it is easy to fall into trouble in the future!" Grandpa Ding shouted at the door, with a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was very welcome for his granddaughter to come and borrow it.
