Chapter 9 Whose Family Has a Girl Growing Up?
Ten years later.
Time flies, time is like an arrow, and time is like a shuttle.
Everything is just a white horse, and I have grown up with Xuan Feilun, Tang Xin, and Pang Dudu, but we are still inseparable good friends. Especially Gen Feilun, although he still argues with me all day long, and occasionally spanks me. But no one is as good as us.
Tang Xin, the bigger she is, the more beautiful she is, her personality is well-behaved, compared to her, I am simply too rude. Just kidding, I'm generally pretty well-behaved.
Pang Dudu is not as fat as he was when he was a child, but we still call him Fat Dudu. Get used to it! It's like they still call me Xiao Yuelao, just like they still call me Xuan Feilun Wheel.
Xuan Feilun is a straw bag, don't look at his talent for martial arts when he was a child, who knows that the bigger it is, the more it will fade. The entire Tengcheng people know that the young owner of the Zhenhai Dart Bureau is a straw bag, and his martial arts are given for nothing at that time, and a third-rate low-hander can defeat him. He is not much stronger than me, Tang Xin, and Pang Dudu! How can we also do martial arts? We, in fact, don't know how to do it, but we learned a little self-defense kung fu with Xuan Feilun, and we saved ourselves from being bullied. Hee-hee! Definitely not to bully people! I promise!
His current weapon is not the iron wheel he used to create, his father specially used a piece of rare dark iron to create a new pair of flywheels for him, each wheel carries three scimitars like half a crescent, the external scimitar is not small, but it is very sharp, it can be said to sharpen iron like clay.
However, I have never seen him use this brand new flywheel, and he never shows it to outsiders, he only showed it to me once, and even Tang Xin and Dudu don't know it. He still usually uses the iron wheels he used when he was a child. Why didn't he use the new one? I think he must be too poor in martial arts, and I'm afraid that if he hurts himself with the new flywheel, it will be a shame!
"Satsuki! Moon! ”
Yikes! Mother called me!
"Hey! Here it comes! ”
"Are you ready?"
"I'm ready, let's go!"
My mother now takes me with her every time she goes to the matchmaker, saying that I should study hard and prepare to let me be a matchmaker in the future. Although matchmaker is not a good profession in us, it belongs to the lower ninth rate business. I don't know why I just like it, maybe it's influenced by my mother. When I look at a pair of lovers becoming husband and wife under my own words, my heart is happy, that is my great pride.
"You're wrong, it's not us, it's you!" My mother said to me with a smile.
"Mother, what do you mean?"
"Xiaoyue, you're not too young, it's time to be on your own. This time this is very simple, I have already been there, I have already said that it has been reconciled, and the Chen family has agreed. This time, you only need to take the Fang family to the Chen family to give gifts, and ask the Chen family's daughter's birthday. Hey, your aunt is waiting for you in the yard, go quickly! ”
What the? Let me go on my own? I'm not ready yet!
"Mother! Will you let me go by myself? Can I? ”
My mother looked me up and down several times, and said with a smile: "Is this our Xiaoyue?" Our family Xiaoyue is not afraid of heaven and earth! ”
I glared at her angrily, "Mother, don't be joking." Is the Fang family willing? ”
The mother smiled, "Of course the Fang family was reluctant at first, but with my strong recommendation, they finally agreed." ”
"What did you say?"
"I said I wouldn't charge money this time."
That's the case, and said that I have confidence, this is clearly a loss-making business! Mother, are you willing to make a loss-making deal?
"Mother, don't you pay for this?"
My mother patted my head, "For Xiaoyue, let's pay for it." ”
I was moved in my heart, but I was quickly overwhelmed by the anxiety in my heart.
"Mother, do you think I'm really good? I went, and you still didn't kick me out? ”
The mother smiled and said, "Why not, who are you, you are Xiaoyue Lao!" Is there anything else you can't do? ”
It's also said, who am I, who am I afraid of! Okay, I'm officially going to take office from today, no, I'm officially going to be a matchmaker.
We are here, pay attention to the words of the matchmaker of the parents, and there must be a matchmaker when we get married, so I will never be unemployed.
What are the three books and six rituals, which is very cumbersome. A man wants to marry a woman's family, and the man sends a matchmaker to the woman's house to give gifts and propose marriage. If the woman is interested, the man will send a matchmaker to formally propose to the woman's family, and bring back a certain gift, and bring back the woman's birthday after the consent of the woman's family. If the man is convenient to put the Geng post with the birth date of both parties in front of the god or on the ancestral case to ask for good luck, and the two parties do not contradict each other, the marriage will be preliminarily agreed. After Najib, this is when the man is the dowry. After the generous dowry, the two parties agree on the marriage date. Finally, a big gift was held, and then they officially became husband and wife.
Of course, these rituals are indispensable for our matchmaker to thread the needle and match the bridge. And every time the man comes to the door, he has to prepare a generous gift. Why? How insincere it is to leave empty-handed!
I'm just talking about it briefly, it's so troublesome, and the small gifts are even more numerous, and it's troublesome. I really don't understand, why do you want so much courtesy? What did you say? If you don't have these false courtesies, wouldn't you matchmaker be unemployed? No, it won't! No matter what time it is, this man and woman will always get married, right, do you think we will be unemployed?
This time, the man is Fang Xueyi, the eldest son of Fang Chengxiao, the boss of the Fang family who opened a pharmacy in the south of the city, and the woman is Chen Qingqing, the second daughter of Chen Caiyuan, who opened a rice shop in the west of the city. This Fang family and the Chen family are both big families in our Tengcheng, and they are the right people. My mother has already been to the Chen family, and the Chen family has agreed to the marriage. All I have to do is take the Fang family to the Chen family to give gifts, and bring back the Chen family's daughter's birthday.
The daughter-in-law of Fang Chengshun, the second elder of the Fang family, and two subordinates. Why didn't Fang Xueyi go? According to the etiquette, he could not go.
I was nervous and brought the Fang family to Chen's house, and Master Chen and Mrs. Chen had already received the news and welcomed them out. Mr. Chen is in his fifties, thin and shrewd, and he is not a good talker at first glance. Mrs. Chen is kind and smiling, she should be easy to speak, but not necessarily, people can't look good!
Master Chen and Mrs. Chen accepted the gift from the Fang family, and the two sides exchanged a few words.
When Mr. Chen looked back at me, he was a little surprised, glanced at Mrs. Chen, and asked, "Why are you here, your mother?" ”
I replied with a smile: "My mother is busy, so I came for her." ”
Of course, you can't say it directly, then you won't kick me out!
Master Chen's face was a little ugly, and he turned his head and whispered to Mrs. Chen, "Isn't this nonsense!" Let a child come. What is this clever and ingenious thing to do, does he look down on our family? ”
I heard that! I heard that! Who made my ears good? Is it good to say it in person? What's the point behind your back?
I can only pretend I didn't hear it, though.
"Master Chen, may I ask Miss Chen's eight characters ......," I asked, pretending to be stupid.
Master Chen turned his head and looked at me with a gloomy face.
What attitude, well, I guess that's going to be the case.
Mrs. Chen looked at me, smiled, and said, "Xiaoyue, you can't be so hasty in this big matter of getting married. In this way, today, you can take them back first, and then talk about it tomorrow when your mother comes. ”
If I leave like this today, then how can I still be in the matchmaking world in the future, no! I can't just leave!
