In the end, under the triple pressure of the matchmaker, the chief steward and his wife, Ah Gui had nothing to say, because everything was according to the rules, except for a little anxious, except for Yuanzi's birthday, except for Yuanzi's birthday, which didn't quite conform to his own rules, everything else couldn't be faulted, well, there were a lot of things in addition.

The chief steward wishes he could make a marriage early, and he doesn't care about Yuanzi's birthday, in his opinion, whether the eight characters are compatible or not, whether there is fate or not is not so important, the important thing is that the lady has taken a fancy to her and wants her to be his daughter-in-law. Fate is such a thing, with money, you can create a little bit, no, fate is coming.

And if it weren't for Childe's natural dullness, he could even arrange for Childe and the girl to have a chance encounter, a hero to save the beauty or something, but unfortunately now he can only start from her parents. Although his own means are a little disgraceful, but for the sake of Mrs. everything is worth it, I think that if Mrs. hadn't persuaded the master to promote himself to be a big steward, where would I be today, so people have to know how to repay their kindness.

Seeing that Ah Gui had no objections, the chief steward understood that this was done. He was in a good mood, walked to Ah Gui's side with a smile, and said: "Brother, that's right, this family affair is a happy event for both your family and us, although your daughter is only fourteen years old, but we don't marry her this year, and she will be fifteen years old after the New Year, we will come to greet her, fifteen years old is not too young to be honest." When the time comes, you should also prepare and dress up your daughter beautifully. If there is anything else you need, you can tell me in time, and we will definitely help you out."

The chief steward said with a sincere face, in order to get married, he didn't mind lowering his posture a little, of course, this was only temporary

Ah Gui felt that all the strength in his body had been drained, and he looked at the smiling face of the chief steward, not happy, just bored.

Ah Gui said weakly: "I know, I will look for you if necessary"

The chief steward saw that Ah Gui was not very interested, and he was not angry, anyway, the matter was already halfway through, and it was left to marry someone into the door. He turned his head to the fortune teller and said, "Then sir, please watch an auspicious day of the zodiac, and then we will come over to greet our relatives."

The fortune teller slowly pinched his fingers and calculated, and said: "The tenth day of the first month of next year is a good day, and it is better to marry."

"Hahaha, very good, very good, that brother, the next time we meet, we will come with a sedan chair carried by eight people, and then you don't have a broken face, it's not good-looking"

"Well, I know"

"Okay, then we'll go first, see you in half a month"

After saying that, with a wave of his hand, everyone rushed out, and just like last time, the dowry all over the ground reflected the ground. Ah Gui's wife couldn't wait to open it and take a look, but she stopped when she saw Ah Gui's appearance, she had never seen Ah Gui like this, a little pitiful and a little helpless. She walked up to Ah Gui and said softly: "Ah Gui, there is no way to do this kind of thing, the female university is not staying, she always has to leave us"

"But it shouldn't be now, but I haven't stayed enough with her," Ah Gui suddenly hugged his wife's waist and repeated this sentence with a little choked up.

"But it shouldn't be now, but I haven't spent enough time with her."

“......”

Bao'er heard that all the people in the courtyard were gone, so she dared to show her little head. As soon as he wanted to come out of the house, he saw his father holding her mother there, and he didn't know for a moment whether it was better to go out or stay in the house. He felt that his father should need him, but he felt that his father wanted to be alone more now, and even his aunt didn't need it for the time being.

This complex emotion has been tormenting his little brain, and just as he was about to get closer to see what was going on, he saw someone coming, and he hurriedly retracted his feet in fright. He fixed his eyes and saw that it was a woman, dressed in a colored cotton jacket, and went straight to their house.

"Gui"

Before the people arrived, the voice came from a distance.

As soon as Ah Gui heard someone calling him, he immediately let go of his wife in fright, he felt that the voice was a little familiar, and took a closer look in the direction of the sound, and it was indeed an acquaintance. It's just that he is a little puzzled, now is not the time to be busy with business, what is she doing when she is not staying in the store.

The woman came to Ah Gui's house in a hurry, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw the dowry all over the ground, she patted her head and said, "It's over, I'm a step late."

Gui's confusion was even worse, he looked at his wife, who shook her head and signaled that she didn't understand what was going on.

Ah Gui's wife was puzzled: "Aunt Zhang, why are you here, what is the end, what is a step late, we can't understand it?"

The person who came was Widow Zhang, but Widow Zhang did not answer Ah Gui's wife's question, but asked Ah Gui and them: "These things were sent by people from Zhang's mansion?" When did they come? What did you promise them? ”

"How do you know it's someone from Zhang's house?" Ah Gui asked, but after thinking about it, she understood that besides Zhang's mansion, who else would give the dowry, and who else would give so many dowry gifts besides Zhang's mansion.

"Answer me quickly, what have you promised them, have you promised to marry Yuanzi to that fool of Zhangfu?"

"Fool" Ah Gui and his wife made surprised noises at the same time.

Widow Zhang already knew the answer as soon as she saw the expressions of the two, and she sat on the ground regardless of her image, her eyes were empty, as if she had lost her soul. Tears slowly rolled down from Widow Zhang's eyes at some point, drop by drop, as if there was a pool of spring water in it, and there was no end.

Ah Gui and his wife were also stimulated by this sudden news and didn't know what to say, thinking that their daughter had married into a rich family, even if they were reluctant, they would admit it.

But in the blink of an eye, this beauty tore off its disguise and became a sea of suffering.

What did they do, they actually pushed their daughter into the fire pit with their own hands, she was so young, so young, she still had so many things she hadn't seen, and so many things she hadn't eaten, how could she marry a fool.

How could this be, this time it was Gui's wife's turn to lose her soul, Ah Gui looked at the dowry all over the ground, and he didn't feel festive at all, he only felt that these red ones were like fires, and the yard was full of fire, and this fire was going to burn their family to ashes, and this fire from hell reflected the blood red of Ah Gui's eyes.

The three of them were silent. Oh no, it's four people, and Bao'er didn't speak, but his silence and the silence of the adults are two different things.

After a long time, Widow Zhang gently wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, restoring her previous posture as a strong woman. She cut her hair, and then said to Ah Gui and the others, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

Ah Gui also came back to his senses, and he asked a little anxiously, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Here's the thing, after I learned that the Zhang Mansion gave you a dowry, I began to pay attention to inquire about the news of the Zhang Mansion. Zhang's Mansion is a well-known rich family in the town, Master Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, these people are very good to inquire about, and even Mrs. Zhang has come to our shop to buy things. But few people have heard of the eldest son of the Zhang family. This piqued my curiosity, after all, Yuanzi was going to marry that person in the future, so I inquired harder. Finally, I heard the news of Mr. Zhang from a familiar customer who had a good relationship with the Zhang family. ”

She paused and continued: "The so-called Zhang Dagongzi is actually a fool by nature, and the Zhang family does not dare to let go of such a thing for the sake of face, after all, both Master Zhang and Mrs. Zhang are smart people, and it is really not good to give birth to such a child." And Mrs. Zhang was unable to have children after being stimulated by this incident, so the Zhang family was the only seedling of the eldest son. ”

"However, although Zhang Gongzi is naturally ignorant, the Zhang family, especially Mrs. Zhang, still loves him very much, I guess it should be that Mrs. Zhang fell in love with Yuanzi when she came to my store, so there is such a thing. I knew that I would only let Yuanzi help backstage, and wouldn't let her show up, but now it seems that this is harming Yuanzi, it's all my fault."

As Widow Zhang spoke, she couldn't help but feel sad.

"Aunt Zhang, don't blame yourself too much, if you really want to blame this matter, you should actually blame me, after all, I asked Yuanzi to help you in the first place, no one thought it would become like this" Ah Gui's wife comforted Aunt Zhang, to be honest, in fact, she also had some guilt in her heart, she wanted Yuanzi to help the family share some things, she wanted to accept those dowries, but she didn't think about marrying Yuanzi to a fool, even if it was the only seedling of a rich family, she actually didn't think about it.

But what can she do now, she has accepted all the dowry gifts, and she still accepts two copies, which will be yellow mud falling into the crotch of her pants, not but.

Ah Gui listened to the conversation between the two, and a strong sense of powerlessness invaded his whole body, wrong? Whose fault, who's right, who can blame? The person to blame should be himself.

If he hadn't brought Yuanzi out of the mountains himself, would he be like this today? If it weren't for his lack of ability, his wife would send Yuanzi to help? If it weren't for the fact that the Zhang family was not present when they came to give the dowry, the Zhang family could be so easy to marry their own family? If it's not me, if it's not me, hey.

Thinking of this, Ah Gui had the urge to pump his big mouth, but he still didn't pump himself, because he knew that no matter how much he hurt now, he would not feel sorry for Yuanzi, because he knew that no matter how uncomfortable he was, Yuanzi would not be uncomfortable in the future.

I want Yuanzi to marry a fool as a daughter-in-law, I'm really sorry for this child. In this life, it is not good for us to be parents, I just hope that Yuanzi can be lighter when she scolds her father and mother in the future, so that she can be reincarnated as an adult in the next life, and it is better to repay her debts as a child of Yuanzi.

"Needless to say, if you want to blame me, if you want to blame, blame Yuanzi, this kid's life is not good"

After saying that, Gui turned around and went back to the house. Ah Gui's wife looked at Ah Gui's back, and felt that Ah Gui seemed to be several years older at this moment, and felt that Ah Gui seemed to have become a lot more rickety at this moment, like an invisible weight pressing on him, pressing him so that he couldn't stand upright.
