49 The Hong family asked for marriage
The Hong family moved very quickly, and the next day they invited the most famous matchmaker in Xingcheng to come to Luojia Village with a dowry.
Grandpa Luo looked at the matchmaker and the housekeeper who came with him, his face turned white with fright, they were small families, and they never thought of sending their children to big families.
There are a lot of things in the yard of a big family, a few years ago, the cuihua in the village was carried to be a concubine, and it was okay for the first few years, but recently I heard that it is gone.
Especially after hearing the matchmaker say that the other party is a member of the Hong family, he was even more worried.
With such a high portal, why did you fall in love with their home?
"Old man, Master Hong has taken a fancy to your eldest granddaughter, but she is really convincing to cultivate, you go to Xingcheng to inquire, who doesn't know the appearance of our fifth son?" The matchmaker said that the mouth was foaming.
In her opinion, today's family affair is a sure thing.
Although this is a side lineage, for farmers, marrying is also a step to the sky, which family can resist this temptation.
Luo Xiaoqiao didn't come out, she looked at Luo Xiaoni who had been keeping her head down in the room, and poked her: "Sister, what do you think?" ”
Luo Xiaoni smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid we've been in trouble lately, aren't you here for your glass and rubber secret recipe?" ”
Luo Xiaoqiao was amused and nodded her nose: "Eldest sister, I found you very smart."
"Go, go, I'm worried", Luo Xiaoni said angrily.
"What are you worried about, the fifth son, I've heard that he is really a talent, suave and suave, if you really follow him in the future, you will be a rich lady, you really don't think about it?" Luo Xiaoqiao teased her.
"Sister, we are from a small family, my sister knows how many pounds and taels she has, don't talk nonsense", Luo Xiaoni pushed her.
"Eldest sister, I think Brother Zhiping is very interesting to you, what do you think of him?"
"Don't talk nonsense", Luo Xiaoni's face turned red, and a touch of shyness flashed in the corners of her eyes.
"Sister, this matter is very important, the Hong family is not good today, even if they reject this family, there will be other people in the future."
"What does this have to do with Brother Zhiping?" Luo Xiaoni looked up at her.
"Uncle Dashan's family knows the roots, I think Brother Zhiping is good these days, I wanted you to be everywhere, but today, I'm afraid that the big guys will remember you, and I'm afraid that they will come hard. If you think it's okay, let's do it first. Luo Xiaoqiao said.
"Of course, this candidate must be satisfactory to yourself, if you think Brother Zhiping is not good, let's look at other people."
Luo Xiaoni was stupid there, half loud, and nodded with a red face.
"Nacheng, in that case, I'll go out and talk to the matchmaker."
After speaking, Luo Xiaoqiao walked into the living room slowly: "Grandpa, is someone coming to propose to my sister?" ”
After Grandpa Luo saw her, his eyes lit up for a moment, and then darkened, although the girl had a lot of ideas, she really couldn't talk about this family matter.
"Ouch, this is the second girl, look at this little appearance, she will definitely be a beauty embryo in the future", the matchmaker's words were very pleasing, and she didn't say anything to the little girl who intervened in the marriage.
I have to say that this matchmaker, her eyesight is real. A sentence of parents' orders, the matchmaker's words were not mentioned.
Luo Xiaoqiao glanced at her, pretended to be stunned and said, "Auntie, why does the Hong family fall in love with our small family?" ”
The matchmaker said: "The little girl laughed, it was the fifth son's hard life, and the fortune teller said that he had to be matched with a farmer's daughter-in-law in order to have a smooth life.
It's quite good to say, and the providence has been moved out, which perfectly explains the reason for low marriage. This can be useful to fool other family members.
The gate of Luo's courtyard was also crowded with people watching the excitement, and the villagers were talking.
"I'll just say that Xiaoni, this child, is a blessed one, you see, it's accurate, the Luo family has also risen, and the big family has also come."
"That's not it, marry a blessed baby, and even take the family to live well, look at the changes in the Luo family, tsk..."
Luo Zhiping scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously in the crowd: "Dad, you said that Grandpa Luo can't agree, right?" It's not easy to get into a big family, so what about the three wives and four concubines, little Nicole? ”
Luo Dashan looked at his second son like this, and shook his head helplessly, his son is not blessed.
Luo Xiaoqiao looked at the matchmaker's face and continued: "Master Hong's face appreciation is an honor for our small family, so it is said that our family must carry it." This is a blessing that you can't even ask for. ”
When the matchmaker heard this, her face was full of smiles, and the housekeeper next to her was disdainful, but she was still very polite.
"Old man, look, if you agree, don't you give me the eldest girl's birthday, and we can go back and have a good time?"
When Old Man Luo heard this, his face was not good-looking.
"Auntie", Luo Xiaoqiao didn't wait for Grandpa Luo to say anything, so he picked up: "You also know that my father and mother died early. ”
"What do you mean?" , the matchmaker didn't understand, why did she mention this.
"My father and mother have a will, before my brother is a minor, if my sister and I marry, we must not marry far away, otherwise we will have to recruit a son-in-law. Sister, she has to go back to her parents' house from time to time to take care of her younger brother", Luo Xiaoqiao pretended to be sad.
"Today, the saint rules the world with filial piety, how can we, as children, not even be satisfied with the last life of our parents? Xingcheng is too far away, if the Hong family really thinks that the sister is suitable, do you think, can the son consider joining the family? ”
"What do you say? Money? The housekeeper raised his head instantly, they were not satisfied with this marriage, and they dared to think about it!
The butler shook his face on the spot: "Who do you think you are?" What kind of person is the fifth son, it is your blessing to take a fancy to you, and you still want to recruit a son-in-law! ”
"So", Luo Xiaoqiao smiled: "My family is really not worthy of the Hong family, it is in vain for the kindness of Old Man Hong, and I will go back to help us explain."
"You!" Steward Hong couldn't even pretend anymore, so he threw up his sleeves and left: "Don't be ashamed of your face." ”
There was a lot of trouble here, and after Steward Hong went back, he naturally added oil and vinegar, and Master Hong couldn't help but blacken his face: "I don't know how to lift!" Find a day and go straight over and bring it in! ”
"Yes, sir." The steward took the order and went back.
The villagers here are also about to fry the pot: "Xiao Qiao, what's wrong?" Why did you offend the nobles! Nobles don't think that our village doesn't know how to lift, right?"
"Uncle Luo, what's the matter?" , Luo Dashan came over as soon as possible.
Grandpa Luo lowered his head, a little unsure of what to do.
The subordinate was on the side, and he also lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
"It's nothing, I said that my sister will marry not far away, or she will recruit a son-in-law", Luo Xiaoqiao replied with a smile.
"Recruiting a son-in-law?" , no wonder the nobles are unhappy, they are good people, and they don't want to be sons-in-law, let alone big families.
"Xiao Qiao, if you say that, what will happen to the nobles, right?" Luo Dashan asked.
"They don't dare, King Jing won't look at it", Luo Xiaoqiao smiled faintly, confident, she was still useful to King Jing, no matter what considerations she had, she would not let them have an accident.
"Xiao Qiao, what do you mean by marrying not far away?" , Luo Zhiping raised his head in some surprise.
"Oh, it's nothing", Luo Xiaoqiao didn't raise his head: "My sister has to be closer to home, she can't marry far away"
She didn't take the initiative to propose anything, although the Dashan family is good, but it is not good if there is an illusion of grace.
The days are long, and she may not be turned out one day, she doesn't want her sister to be unable to raise her head at her husband's house.
Luo Zhiping pulled Luo Dashan's clothes.
"Uncle", Luo Dashan raised his head a little embarrassed and said: "It's not that I can't help myself, I'm here today, what do you think of my family Zhiping?" ”
Luo Zhiping's face was as red as a rag, and he didn't dare to look up at people.
"Zhiping?" Grandpa Luo's eyes lit up, and he looked up at the young man, he was very honest, clever, and his character was also good. But Grandpa Luo still groaned for a while.
Luo Zhiping's palms were sweating, so he heard Grandpa Luo say: "Zhiping is a good boy"
He barely lost his legs.
Luo Dashan is also very happy, what kind of character Luo Xiaoni has, he knows it too well, and he is definitely a good candidate for a daughter-in-law.
He really didn't expect Grandpa Luo to look down on their family, and he felt unconfident when he asked what he said.
"Uncle, you see, the two children are not young, they both know the roots, how about I ask the village chief to come over and propose marriage?" Luo Dashan said.
Grandpa Luo sat on the chair and didn't speak for a long time, and Luo Dashan, who was looking at it, was extremely unsure.
Just when he was thinking about how to say a few more words, Grandpa Luo let out a long breath: "The situation of my family is different, I will ponder and ponder, and I will give you a letter tomorrow."
