Chapter IV Dowry
Wang Po was not embarrassed at all when she saw Guan Xiaoduo, her greasy face was always filled with a flattering smile, and before she could speak, Guan Xiaoduo grabbed Bai Dao again:
"I said, is there a lower limit to your matchmaker's business? Makeup into this virtue dare to come out scary? Are you greeting your relatives or going to the funeral? Eh, I'll go, this powder is for you to rub ......."
As he spoke, Guan Xiaoduo covered his chest with his hand, frowned exaggeratedly, and said, "It's dawn at this time, and those who don't know think it's a corpse." ”
It seems that the talent of drama is really inherited.
"You damn girl, that broken mouth is as beautiful as a knife!" Wang Po was not angry, she giggled for a while, shook her veil in disgust, and said to the people behind her:
"Let's move to the courtyard."
"Wait!"
When Guan Xiaoduo heard this, he immediately stretched out his arms and put them at the gate: "What do you mean?" The wedding supplies store and the silk shop in the county have a partnership clearance sale? You sweep a circle of goods and stock them up at your own house! I can't use this as a warehouse! ”
Wang Po smiled: "Silly girl, this is a dowry for you!" The second young master of the Li family in Ping'an Town has taken a fancy to you! ”
"Shhhhh
Wang Po said, and took out Zhang Dahong's post from her arms: "Yao, I brought all the wedding cards." ”
Guan Xiaoduo's eyelids jumped when she heard this, she took it tremblingly, and opened it to see that the four sides of the big red book were full of angry dragon and phoenix patterns, and the document format looked extremely familiar - the letter of appointment, the beauty of the knife also worked as a matchmaker, and she saw this kind of play a lot when she was a child.
I saw that the three big characters of 'Guan Xiaoduo' were written in the most eye-catching position, with the eight characters of birth attached;
"Who is Li Jingqiu?"
Guan Xiaoduo asked with a confused face, but saw that Wang Po was throwing copper coins and candy at the crowd one by one, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Hey, you're almost done!" There's no shadow of this, don't be foolish! ”
To say that this Wang Po is really dedicated, under Guan Xiaoduo's continuous stopping, she still insisted on sprinkling all the candy and copper coins in the bamboo basket painted red.
Seeing the lively adults, there were many discussions, but the children didn't care so much, happily bent down to pick up the copper plate on the ground, and shouted while picking it up: "Master Duo wants to get married!" ”
Guan Xiaoduo is really angry.
"Don't show up outside, come in and say something." At this time, I saw that Guan Hua had already come out of the house, stood at the gate of the courtyard and said with a frown.
Today, Dahuazi rested and wore casual clothes. He doesn't usually talk much, and he's quite an honest person.
"Why are you still stunned, let's carry it in!" As soon as Wang Po waved her hand, the little servants blew and beat again, and sent the dowry into the courtyard of the Guan family.
Guan Xiaoduo was anxious: "Eh? Which one called you in?! I'll have to find someone to carry you back when you move in! Isn't this a nuisance for me?! Don't move! Take it away, take it away! ”
Wang Po pulled her arm, smiled and said, "You little girl is a blessed one!" The Li family is rich and rich, and your good days are all ahead! What is this thing? Just keep it! ”
Guan Xiaoduo: "What's the use of him looking at me?" I have to look up to him, right? ”
Wang Po: "One rich covers all ugliness, just be rich!" Why do you care so much? ”
Guan Xiaoduo: "That's right, but you don't say hello and give a dowry, isn't this a forced purchase and forced sale?" ”
Wang Po: "I can tell you, the second young master of the Li family has just turned eighteen this year, he is rich, powerful and talented, and you can't find a second marriage with such a good marriage within a radius of 800 miles!" ”
Guan Xiaoduo: "Since it's so suitable, you can marry yourself!" What do you have to do with the fortress? We don't have any friendships, I'm pretty embarrassed! ”
Wang Po: "Phew! You unknown dead girl! If you want to know about this marriage, you have to burn incense and thank me every day! ”
Guan Xiaoduo: "I'll burn incense for you, please ascend to heaven on the spot!" Now now, immediately, hurry! ”
Wang Po: "You have ascended to heaven!" Your whole family ascends to heaven! ”
Guan Xiaoduo's eyes widened, and he rolled up his sleeves: "If you can't say it, you will scold the street, right?" When it comes to scolding the street, I'm your ancestor! If you want to be embarrassed, your aunt and grandmother will send you a full set to pack and take away, no thanks! ”
The onlookers who did not know the situation ate melons, meat, radishes, and pork ribs were in a commotion, and it seemed that there was a good show today.
The ceremonial music team on the side was still blowing suona, Wang Po and Guan Xiaoduo were pulling their throats, and under this annoying accompaniment, you quarreled endlessly, and Guan Hua, who couldn't bear it, suddenly roared:
"Stop blowing! Isn't it enough to panic?! ”
The two women quarreled on the street, and the suona player didn't expect Guan Hua to come directly at him, with a confused face, he didn't take a breath, and the loud suona dragged a funny tail note, dumb. The other musicians also stopped.
The honest man suddenly got angry, and his eyes narrowed The momentum of the murderer is quite scary.
Guan Xiaoduo and Wang Po closed their mouths in unison, and even the sound of ear-to-ear exchanges in the crowd stopped abruptly, and their ears suddenly fell silent.
Guan Hua then turned to the old and the young: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it in the house first." I haven't figured out anything yet, so what's the noise? …… You're all gone, there's nothing to see. ”
Guan Xiaoduo stuck out her tongue and followed her brother back to the house in a gloomy manner, while Wang Po took the opportunity to wave her hand at her subordinates, and all the gifts were carried into the courtyard. The music team and the little guys don't care about anything else, and they call it a day when their tasks are completed.
As soon as the gate of the house was closed, calm returned to the alley.
"You may be seated."
Guan Hua very politely invited Wang Po into the house, and when he saw Guan Xiaoduo also sitting beside him angrily, he said with a straight face: "Pour tea." ”
Although Guan Xiaoduo is usually powerful, the eldest brother still obediently wants to listen to what he says. She snorted disapprovingly and turned to go out to boil water.
Seeing this situation, Wang Po's attitude also eased, and said to Guan Hua: "Your family counts you as the most reasonable. ”
Guan Hua casually exchanged a few polite words with her, and then said: "You have also seen that my mother is not at home, and I can't do anything about my sister's marriage." I still have to wait for my mother to come back to discuss this matter. I can't accept the dowry either, so please take it back. ”
Wang Po waved her hand: "I know, it's not in accordance with the rules to give a dowry without saying hello." It's just that the master who entrusted me this time is different from other families, and it is the second young master of the Li family in Ping'an Town. It is a serious mansion door, rich and rich, saying that it is a meeting gift for the girl, whether this thing is successful or not in the future, there is no need to retreat, how much is a mind! The old Li family, there is no reason to come back the things that were sent. ”
Guan Hua couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this.
He had heard of the Li family in Ping'an Town. In the yamen, if you usually catch picking quarrels and provoking troubles or have a lawsuit, but whenever the Li family comes forward to ask for someone, the upper sentence will be released. Petty officials like the county magistrate and the town mayor are too late to stammer, and they don't dare to offend them at all.
Guan Hua asked: "Then the Li family is a big family, why do you fall in love with my family's Xiaoduo?" ”
Wang Po smiled: "It's also fate." I heard that the second young master of their family had seen Guan Xiaoduo twice, and somehow he looked at the right eye, saying that the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he couldn't let go of her in his heart, so he had to ask his wife to marry home. ”
Speaking of this, she sighed: "What does Mrs. mean, your family's small family is not worthy." The knife is beautiful and has such a reputation, this marriage, but if you change someone's home to entrust me, I won't come to your door if you kill me! …… Ahem, I won't say that. How else to say that your chick is blessed? The second young master asked her by name, and no one persuaded her. My wife didn't agree, but she couldn't resist him, so she sent me to prepare a gift and come to the door to give a dowry. ”
"Have the two met?"
Guan Hua listened to it for a long time, but he was even more puzzled.
"Who knows?" Wang Po said: "The marriage of the children is the final say of the elders in the family, you hurry up and get the knife back at this time, and it is important for everyone to sit down and discuss it." ”
"What's there to discuss?!"
At this time, I saw Guan Xiaoduo come in with tea with a cold face, put the tea tray on the table, and said angrily: "You are knocking and making trouble so much that the whole town knows about it, where are you here to discuss?" Is there such a discussion?! ”
Wang Po disagreed: "The second young master of the Li family can take a fancy to you, that is the blessing you have cultivated for several lifetimes!" It's over stealing the fun by yourself, so why do you have to pick this reason? Don't let people say you don't know how to lift! ”
Guan Xiaoduo: "I don't know how to lift yet!" How old is he? Rich and amazing?! ”
Wang Po said slowly: "Girl, you are really right, being rich is amazing." If you can't get along with anyone, don't get along with money! If it weren't for the money, would you and I be glad to come to your door? ”
As she spoke, Wang Po gave her a blank look and took out a brocade box from her arms. The big red silk was wrapped in a delicate small wooden box, and as soon as it was opened, the silver brilliance flashed, and it was actually a box full of silver ingots, flashing blind dogs' eyes.
This must be hundreds of taels to say the least! To be honest, Guan Xiaoduo has never seen so much money when she grows so big.
Seeing the surprised appearance of the brother and sister, Wang Po proudly stretched out her fat hand and compared: "Six hundred taels!" If you are auspicious, I will ask you if you are six! Have you ever seen a master who can be so generous with a meeting gift? Tut-tut, just buy a big girl with yellow flowers from the hands of people, how much money is it? ”
Guan Hua couldn't help but frown: This princess really can't speak.
Guan Xiaoduo exploded when she heard it: "Then you bought it outside?" What are you looking for me to do?! No matter how poor my family is, it is far from selling my daughter! When you see the money, you sell it yourself! ”
Wang Po probably also felt that Fang Cai's words were inappropriate, and smiled cheekily: "Don't be angry, girl, I'm just making an analogy." Real money is here because of people's sincerity. When you go back and wait for you to pass the door, it's a mountain of gold and silver, and you won't be worried! ”
Guan Xiaoduo sneered: "You don't have to worry about Jinshan Yinshan, I will burn it for you every year when I look back!" ”
"Phew! You girl is really hateful when you speak! ”
Seeing that the two of them were boiling again, they heard Guan Hua say slowly:
"Why is your tea cold?"
