Xie Pingtian went to tie the donkey, feed it with hay, and everyone welcomed Mrs. Guo into the hall.

Xie Xuan followed everyone's footsteps curiously, and saw that the matchmaker's face was white, round and round, smiling and smiling, with a copper silk mustache, covered with soap-colored tulle, a blue and silver hairpin obliquely inserted, and a carved mahogany comb grate was inserted next to the bun, with two red velvet flowers, and the hair exposed under the four sides was oily and smooth with shavings comb, and the lines were not messy.

As soon as Mrs. Guo entered the door, her eyes slipped around the house, taking in all the scenery in her eyes, and seeing that the house was simple, she was a little disappointed.

Another wipe slipped around the people around him, and when he saw Xie Ping'an, who was a little uncomfortable, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and praised: "This is Ping'an, right?" What a posterity! Look at this, look at this physique! The old brother and sister are really blessed to have such a good son! ”

When Xie Wang heard others praising his son, he naturally laughed, and said modestly: "Where! Where! May I also ask Baoshan, which girl are you talking about? ”

As soon as Xie Ping'an heard his mother's question, he became even more uncomfortable, but his eyes involuntarily looked at Mrs. Guo.

When Xie Xuan saw it, she couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart.

Mrs. Guo listened to the question, but did not answer, but just sold the guanzi: "The girl I am talking about is eight out of ten this year, and she is in the same year as your family, but she is only a few months younger." There is an eldest sister above, married to the Wang family who sells wontons in the county, and there is a younger brother below, who is only eight or nine years old, and is studying in the village school......"

"Gee, where did I go to school, and how did the teacher teach? My two little grandchildren are going to school too! Xie Wang could hear the word "school", and before she could finish speaking, he interjected and asked.

The Lin family, who was listening quietly next to him, couldn't help but lift his heart and looked at Mrs. Guo.

"I'm better in a hurry than in a hurry! If the two children are in the same school, wouldn't they be able to help each other? Mrs. Guo slapped her face and smiled.

Seeing that the Xie family's eyes were focused on herself, she said unhurriedly:

"The village school is in our Liushutun, it is the village Shen Dahu's family school, Shen Dahu is a kind-hearted, originally for his own children's husband, set up a family school, because there is no decent school in the surrounding villages, so he let go of his own yard as a school. Children in the surrounding villages and towns can go to school as long as they give the teacher a bundle. The teacher who sat in the hall was an old showman, and he had also taught two showmen under his hands, and he was the most dignified and serious, and the monkeys in the village saw him like a mouse and a cat, and they were honest and courteous......"

Lin listened to Mrs. Guo's words, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and when she saw that Mrs. Guo was stopped, she hurriedly went up to add tea, and after adding tea, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at her in-laws.

When Xie Wang heard this, he couldn't help nodding, and Xie Qingshan also sat on the side and bowed slightly, looking a little satisfied.

"Brother Zhiyuan, Brother Zhicheng, hehe......" Xie Xuan smiled at the two brothers and laughed maliciously.

Xie Zhicheng couldn't help but feel bitter, he was at the age of being active and fun, let him sit honestly for a while would be like killing him, let alone sitting all day?

Xie Zhiyuan laughed instead, he used to see that others could go to school and read and write, and he was a little envious.

"My mother-in-law Guo spits a pit, never says big things, don't believe you go and inquire! The younger brother of the second girl of the Zhao family is also studying in the school, if they all enter the school, isn't it the nephew and brother-in-law studying together? Even when they grow up in the future, they can help each other! Mrs. Guo turned the conversation back again.

"That girl's family name is Zhao? What is the temperament? What are her parents? Xie Wang's asked, they have already got the news of the school, they will definitely have to inquire carefully in the future, but now it is important to ask this Zhao family girl first.

"This Second Sister Zhao! Born with a long body, willow waist, melon seed face, almond eyes, cherry mouth, what a flower and moon appearance! Not only that, Second Sister Zhao's female workers can take it down from the needle and the stove in the kitchen! is the most clever person, and he is a good match for your second boy! ”

Mrs. Guo praised the second sister of the Zhao family in the sky and in the ground, just like a goddess in the nine heavens and a bodhisattva in the South China Sea.

Xie Ping'an was originally uncomfortable, listening to Mrs. Guo's description in his ears, he couldn't help but shake his mind and his eyes were in a trance, as if he saw the second sister Zhao standing in front of him, and he didn't even hear Xie Xuan shouting at him.

"My brother-in-law, this is Sichun! Look at him, his soul has flown ......"

Booed him twice but didn't get a response, Xie Xuan whispered to Xie Zhiyuan and Xie Zhicheng.

Think about it carefully, at this age, it is also a young man who should go to college in the next generation, and he should be physically and mentally budding, isn't it the time to think about spring?

"What is Sichun?" Xie Zhicheng was still bowing his head and worrying about going to school in the future, and when he heard Xie Xuan complaining, he couldn't help asking.

"Silly second brother! Ask your brother to go! Xie Xuan glanced at him helplessly.

Xie Zhiyuan just pretended to be stupid in the face of his younger brother's inquiry.

Xie Wang's family was not like her stupid son, who fully believed Mrs. Guo's rhetoric, and just asked: "If this Second Sister Zhao is so good, why hasn't she married at eighteen?" How can you say that you are so cold with our Xie family? ”

"Oops! Old sister, don't you say it, you pick others, don't you want others to pick people? It is precisely because of this second sister Zhao's appearance, temperament, needlework, and kitchen stove that are all good, and no offspring is worthy of it, so she has been wasted for two more years. If you want me to say, isn't this just for your second boy! This is a marriage set by heaven, and the thread drawn by the old man ...... "Mrs. Guo has an expression that you have taken a big advantage."

Xie Wang's side knocked with some hesitation: "If this is the case, I don't know if my family is safe and can be worthy, she is such a good girl, the bride price must not be low, right?" ”

"Hey, what kind of bride price is not bride price, the Zhao family said, if the two children are eye-catching, even if they don't want the bride price, as long as the two children live in harmony, they are the parents who are at ease!" Mrs. Guo's eyes rolled and said with a smile.

When Xie Qingshan and Xie Wang heard this, they couldn't help but smile and nod their heads:

"That's it! We have also seen those who marry their daughters, who have to pay a lot of dowries, and they can't wait to sell their daughters, so that the man will lose his debts, and when the girls really marry, don't they want their daughters to repay their debts and suffer together! ”

"Exactly!" Mrs. Guo squinted with a smile, "Whether this is successful or not, we still have to look at each other, let's say that Second Sister Zhao is the same as the flowers, and you still have to be in the middle of your family, right?" I'm not the kind of blank talk, full of nonsense and hard matchmaking......"

"Of course, Guo Baoshan has always had one thing to say, not the kind of people who are like three aunts and six women, who make up nonsense, and the two mountains have to be matched together...... "Xie Wang also smiled and said polite words.

So the two agreed on the date and place to see each other, and it was set in the morning of three days later, in the stinky water lane of Changshou in the county seat, there was a Liu family tea bureau, and I would go there to see each other when the time came.

Xie Wang went into the room and took 50 yuan as Xie Matchmaker's car and donkey money, and saw Guo Pozi riding a donkey obliquely and staggering away.
