Shen Xiaoyu went into the house and took out a piece of tulle material, which was ironed with a copper fire bucket before. After laying out the material, Shen Xiaoyu said: "I was thinking about what kind of pattern to embroider on the yarn before, but if the thread is embroidered, I am afraid that it will leave a needle's eye, which is very difficult, but if I can draw it, I can reduce the flaws." ”

Cui Laoxiu looked at the gauze, wiped it again, and said, "It's not that you can't paint, but what kind of painting is it?" ”

When Shen Xiaoyu heard this, he said, "Draw some flowers, birds, fish and insects?" Or the auspicious crane? Grandpa Cui is a literati, and he must know more than me! You can paint anything, as long as you can sell it! ”

Cui Laoxiu only heard it, this requirement seems to be unrequirementary, but there are also requirements, what kind of can be sold, it's really hard to say. He has been poor all his life, especially in the second half of his life, he also went to farm, even if he has not thrown away Danqing with one hand, but he has never moved the mind of selling calligraphy and painting, but he did not expect that his "useless" skills can still be useful now!

Shen Xiaoyu has seen Cui Lao Xiucai's paintings, they are good-looking, much better than those calligraphy and painting houses in the city! Now that there is such a capable person, how can she let the pearl be dusted?! And with the stubborn temper of this old man, I am afraid that recuperating here is temporary, and when his body is better, it is estimated that he will have to go back to his collapsed house to live, take this opportunity to find some work for the old man, and he will be able to live here with peace of mind in the future!

There are also pen, ink, paper and inkstones at home, Shen Xiaoyu is all photographed, and all the colored ink is taken out, so that the old man can play to his heart's content.

Cui Lao Xiucai also liked these things, so he gestured with the paper first. When Cui Fenglan saw it, she smiled at Shen Xiaoyu, or Shen Xiaoyu has a way to cure this old stubbornness!

When the Shen family was about to have dinner in the evening, Aunt Zhao from the west of the village came and said that she wanted to say goodbye.

The aunt of the Zhao family is the matchmaker in the village, less than fifty years old, but she has also said a lot about the marriage in the eight villages of ten miles, and she is a famous matchmaker.

"Say kiss? What else do I say? Shen Xiaoyu couldn't cry or laugh, her situation was known to the whole village, and she said goodbye?

Aunt Zhao smiled and said: "Hey, I don't have a head or a brain, no wonder you misunderstood, I didn't say kiss to you, I wanted to say kiss to others!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu was stunned: "Who?" "And Aunt Zhao also came to her on purpose, she is also a little child, what kind of matchmaker can you say?

Father Shen was also curious, Cui Fenglan helped Cui Lao Xiucai to come over to hear what was going on.

Aunt Zhao said: "The girl who often walks with you, the one who looks good, that girl is called a butterfly, right?" I happen to have a good family affair here, and I want to pass her over! ”

Shen Xiaoyu was surprised, and then nodded: "It's called a butterfly." "It turned out to be a matchmaker for Lu Butterfly.

Aunt Zhao asked, "How old is that girl?" Who else is in the family? Because I'm new to the village, I don't know about it, so I'll come to you first to inquire, and I'll go to the door to talk about it later. ”

Shen Xiaoyu said: "The butterfly is two months younger than me, and there is a mother and an uncle in the family, just these three people. ”

When Aunt Zhao heard this, she muttered: "Yo, it turns out that it's not a family of two, so if it weren't for two people living together like this, I'm afraid it wouldn't sound good!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu explained: "There's nothing bad about it. ”

"Don't you know, if the mother is inappropriate, how good can this daughter's reputation be?" Aunt Zhao said matter-of-factly.

Shen Xiaoyu felt why this was so ugly, so he said: "It's not so serious, then Uncle An is also a good person, and he is also respectful to Mrs. Lu, so he should be a ...... You are regarded as a hired long-term worker, or an orphan or a widow, who will do the hard work of the house? "Shen Xiaoyu is really afraid that Lu Butterfly's reputation will be ruined.

Aunt Zhao nodded: "This is barely reasonable." ”

Shen Xiaoyu listened to Aunt Zhao's question for a long time, but he never said who had seen the butterfly on the land, so he asked, "Auntie, who do you want to tell the butterfly to?" ”

Aunt Zhao smiled and said: "Good family, the youngest son of Zhang Xiucai's family in the city has also reached the age when it is time to say goodbye, you also know Zhang Xiucai's family, the family has money, and there are offerings in the yamen!" ”

As soon as Zhang Xiucai's youngest son was mentioned, Shen Xiaoyu's brows furrowed, and his face was not good, so he said, "Auntie, what are you talking about?" Zhang Xiucai's youngest son? Who doesn't know that Zhang Xiucai's youngest son is a paralyzed person? Can a girl with a good butterfly marry a paralyzed person? ”

Father Shen and Cui Fenglan also frowned, and Father Shen said: "Although Zhang Xiucai's family is rich, it is also money that is earned, God can't look past it, so he will retribution on his youngest son, such a family, it's better to stay away." "Zhang Xiucai relies on knowing a little pen and ink, and often tampers with the paper, so that the people have suffered a lot of losses, this is not a good person!

Aunt Zhao said: "I still care about those now, I don't think the butterfly mother and daughter are doing very well, even if they marry into Zhang Xiucai's family, that is to serve the paralyzed son, but this money will not be exhausted in the future, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing!" ”

Father Shen shook his head: "Serving a paralyzed person, isn't this life ruined, and you can't pit other people's daughters." ”

Cui Fenglan said: "Sister-in-law, I don't think this parent can be said, people have good girls with hands and feet, even if the money is good, people will make it themselves, and there is no need to sell themselves." ”

Sister-in-law Zhao listened to it and said: "What do you mean to sell yourself, this is to say that you are sold, then your little fish she ......" Speaking of this, Sister-in-law Zhao also regretted it, she originally came to inquire, but she didn't pay attention, so she said such a thing.

Shen Xiaoyu was displeased in his heart and said, "Auntie, I sold it myself, I am willing." If you think it's okay, you can go to Lu's house and say go, if their family is willing, no one can stop them! But if people don't agree, and you still persuade you, then you lack great virtue! ”

As soon as Sister-in-law Zhao heard Shen Xiaoyu scolding herself, she said: "Xiaoyu, you don't have to use this to tease me, there is nothing I can't protect in this radius, what's wrong with Zhang Xiucai's son who is paralyzed, money can make ghosts grind, and the Zhang family also said that as long as you can give his son a matchmaker, you can get as many dowry gifts as you want!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu sneered: "I think I can afford to give as many matchmakers as few red envelopes!" "If this medium can be successful, this Aunt Zhao will definitely get a lot of money, but the girl who cheats other people for the sake of money is a lack of virtue and will be struck by lightning!

Aunt Zhao was angry, stood up directly, and said, "If I want to protect the media, there is nothing that cannot be impossible!" As he spoke, he puffed up and wanted to leave the Shen family.

Shen Xiaoyu was also not happy, so he ran out, then Aunt Zhao must be going to the Lu family, but she said directly. The matchmaker is a matchmaker but picks two families with one scale, but looking at Mrs. Zhao's weight, I am afraid that the pole will be biased towards the money, and when the time comes, what should be said will be hidden, and what should not be said will be said A lot of stupid people, but this old pious woman can't let Lu Butterfly pit!

Aunt Zhao saw Shen Xiaoyu walking in the same direction as herself, so she quickened her pace, but Shen Xiaoyu's pace also accelerated, and the two overtook each other all the way, and finally arrived at the door of Lu Butterfly's house.

After all, Aunt Zhao was there for many years, and she was out of breath with Shen Xiaoyu all the way, and she had to take a breath when she arrived at the door. Shen Xiaoyu was not affected, and slipped in with a swish, and when Aunt Zhao saw it, she didn't dare to slow down, and hurriedly chased in.

Lu Butterfly's family was eating this dinner, and when they saw Shen Xiaoyu coming, Lu Butterfly beckoned to eat together, but when they saw that Shen Xiaoyu was followed by one, they wondered, looking at their faces, not like the people of the Shen family.

As soon as Shen Xiaoyu was about to speak, Aunt Zhao said: "Hey, I am also from this village, and I am here today because I want to tell your butterfly girl about a marriage!" She couldn't let Shen Xiaoyu speak first, so she could only grab the words.

As soon as Mrs. Lu heard that it was a matchmaker, she said: "My butterfly is still young, let's say that the matchmaker is early." ”

"That's it, it's only thirteen, what kind of matchmaker!" Shen Xiaoyu was on the side.

Aunt Zhao glared at Shen Xiaoyu, and then smiled and said to Mrs. Lu: "Hey, our rural area is early, and it is not uncommon to hold a child at the age of fourteen or fifteen, not to mention that we are determined first, and it is good to wait for the child to grow up and then pass through the door, otherwise the good people are finished, and it will be bad for the butterfly girl to look for it again!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu said: "What a good person! ”

When Mrs. Lu heard it, if it was a good family, it would not hurt to listen to it, anyway, Lu Butterfly would marry sooner or later in the future, so she should look for someone first.

Aunt Zhao saw that Mrs. Lu still wanted to listen to it, so she sat down directly, Mrs. Lu asked Uncle An to have two more pairs of chopsticks, and Shen Xiaoyu said, "I don't need it." "It's almost full of this Aunt Zhao, where can I still eat?

Aunt Zhao didn't say anything, picked up the bowl and said that she was eating, Shen Xiaoyu looked at it and shook her head, Mrs. Lu also felt that this person was a little rude, although it was not to the extent that she didn't say anything when she ate and didn't say anything, but don't say it when you chew something in your mouth!

Lu Butterfly looked at Shen Xiaoyu, Shen Xiaoyu pouted and shook his head, Lu Butterfly understood, I was afraid that Shen Xiaoyu didn't agree with what this Aunt Zhao said.

"Oh, this is definitely a good family, Zhang Xiucai is a scholarly family, he has been admitted to Xiucai, and then he has a job in the yamen, but the family is rich, where can I find such a family?" Aunt Zhao said.

Shen Xiaoyu was speechless: "Yes, there are offerings in the yamen, and there is a lot of money, when the spring is in the new year, I heard that there is a person in the neighboring village, and the family's land is occupied by the rich man in the city, and the family also has a land deed, so he took it to the government to complain, but this Xiucai cheated away the land deed of the other people, and got a lot of benefits from the rich man's family. "Shen Xiaoyu sneered, this Xiucai family lacks virtue and smokes, this Aunt Zhao really takes it as a good person!

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she said, "This kind of behavior is too ......."

Aunt Zhao hurriedly continued: "These are all rumors, where do we ordinary people know about the Yamen, I'm afraid that some people are not blushing and deliberately spreading rumors!" After speaking, he looked at Shen Xiaoyu and glared at him very unhappily.

Shen Xiaoyu felt that Aunt Zhao would be able to stare crookedly and slanted her eyes just by staring at her.
